What is the philosophy behind numerology?

The fundamental premise of numerology is that life, and the universe as a whole is an orderly system, and that numbers reflect that orderliness. Numbers are by definition orderly.

Orderliness can be seen in every aspect of existence, from the subatomic world to the world of stars and galaxies. DNA is of such profound orderliness that it has been the template for producing literally billions upon billions of human beings with the same universal characteristics, two eyes, ten fingers, ten toes, et cetera. If we look up at the stars and see the planets, we see a further example of great orderliness. In creation, there is no randomness, a fact that is the basis for all physical sciences.

Quantum mechanics is demonstrating that the fundamental reality of the universe—while not immediately apparent to our rational minds—is a vast unity in which all things are related.

In ancient times, this understanding formed the basis for all natural and spiritual sciences. In fact, natural science was merely the tool that was used to discover the underlying orderliness of the universe, otherwise known as God. Out of this consciousness came such spiritual sciences as numerology.

Numerology is based upon this underlying unity, a unity that manifests itself in a very intimate way in all of our lives. Our names and dates of birth, for example, are connected with our deepest inner being in a way that the rational mind cannot immediately understand. The intuitive mind, however, is capable of perceiving these relationships, and of interpreting them to help us better understand our lives.

Sound and time are both rooted in harmony and universal order. This is the source of numerology. The numerologist maintains that each of us carries the perfect name that reflects our inner nature or being. That name is a collection of sounds, a melody that in a very deep and perfect way is you.
