Modern Numerology
 Unlike the Pythagoreans, modern numerologists apply numbers to people in addition to applying intangible concepts to numbers. According to most numerologists, the numbers one to nine have unique properties that are the direct result of their inherent vibration. Some of these properties come from Pythagorean writings, and others come from the way cultures around the world use and approach numbers.
Different numerologists apply different attributes to numbers, but here's a run-down of some of the most popular.
Some systems also designate numbers with repeating digits as master numbers, which include all the attributes of two other numbers:
* 11: 1 and 2
* 22: 2 and 4
* 33: 3 and 6
* 44: 4 and 8
Numerology purports to tell the future, guide human behavior, predict the outcome of relationships and otherwise divine the unknowable by figuring out a person's numbers. For example, if the number nine has a particular vibration, a person whose number is nine has the same vibration. That person can choose what to eat, where to go and how to live based on which choices have a vibration that is compatible with nine. We'll look at how numerologists determine a person's number next.
Numerology and Synesthesia
Numerology applies non-numeric concepts to numbers. Similarly, synesthesia is a neurological condition in which a person associates one sense with perceptions from an unrelated sense. For example, a person with synesthesia might associate colors with words or smells with musical notes. |
