NUMBERS AND THEIR SECRETS

A number is an abstract idea not only used in counting and measuring but has been used symbolically from time immemorial.

Artefacts have been found with marks in them and the year of origin 30 000 BC has been estimated. These 'marks' are considered to be either recording the number of days or amounts.  It is interesting to note that zero was only regarded as a number during the 400 BC by the Olmec people of Mexico and became an essential part of the Mayan calender by the 40 BC. The Ancient Greeks questioned the fact that nothing cannot be something. Other than that it was used as a placeholder in placevalue systems. 

In Biblical symbolism of numbers denotes:  
 One: Unity - There can be no doubt as to the significance of this primary number. In all languages it is the symbol of unity. As a cardinal number it denotes unity; as an ordinal it denotes primacy. Unity being indivisible, and not made up of other numbers, is therefore independent of all others, and is the source of all others.
 Two: Division
 Three: Divine Perfection 
 Four: Earth
 Six: Man
 Seven: Perfection
 Eight: New Beginning
 Nine: Fruit
 Twelve: Governmental Perfection
 Forty: Cleansing  
 
Sacred Numbers - in the book, Sacred Numbers and the origins of civilization by Richard Heath suggests that "... a corpus of ancient knowledge lies behind many of the world's historical cultures - and, in fact, provides a foundation for our modern culture - even though we no longer share the worldview that produced it. In this prehistoric culture the world was seen as a manifestation of numerical powers. Heath takes his readers on exploratory journey from prehistory through the Dark Ages and eventually recorded history, utilising astronomy, harmony, geomancy, sacred centres and myth, to explain the concept of sacred numbers, their origins and use. 

Numerology - an ancient saying states that everything lies concealed in numbers. According to Lynn Buess numerology "... is a science of symbols, cycles and vibrations." It provides a means of understanding cyclical patterns. By understanding our own particular rhythm, it becomes easier to flow with life and become master of fate.  

DNA Pincode - Douglas Forbes goes further in the development of his Human Pin Code now known as the DNA Pin Code. His preliminary study of the:  

• I Ching also known as Book of Changes and earliest known Chinese system of numbers to be used as an oracle, 
• The Judaic Kabbalah, the Tree of Life, represents the creation of the universe using ten spheres numbered 1to 10. During the 14th century a diagram was introduced with the ten spheres and the twenty two paths (the Hebrew alphabet consist of 22 letters) that connect them. 
• Other similar Trees of Life was discovered in Assyrian and Egyptian Carved reliefs. An even earlier diagram came out of Iraq but contained only eight numbers. 
• Astrology 
• The philosopher Pythagoras' School of Mysteries - Pythagoras was an early numerologist whose theories still influences today's numerologists. 
• Bio rhythms

Octagon Theorems brought him to the development of the Human Pin Code as described in his book, The Human Pin Code: The Sacred Maths of your Birth Date.  
 

Know Yourself Counselling and Holistic Life Coaching brought me to the realisation that we are presented with different tools of which numbers are one, to help us achieve our highest potential and knowing ourselves. However, if we do not know how to use it, the knowledge of the different systems are useless and we might flounder and "be lost" instead of "being" for as long as we choose to close our minds and disregard the knowledge of the ages.

I use the DNA Pin Code as well as metaphysical and holistic concepts in my quest to present my client's with as much information as I can to enable them to journey life with a knowingness and understanding of their individual paths.
