Numerology: Take Two — Pictures in Numbers

Monday, October 31st, 2005

November 6, 2005

Today I decided to re-focus my attention on numerology. Interestingly while I was picking up some orange calcite (yummy stone) from the gem store, the clerk and I got into a discussion of how *accurate* numerology truly is… even more so than astrology.

Anyway, this is what I came up with. I’m certain someone else has come up with it at some point but it isn’t *commonly* talked about.

This post focuses on the “shape” and “visual impression” of each number and how it can be an immediate connection to the *meaning* of each number. 🙂

1 — stands on its own. straight up and down. alone. powerful. independent of other expanding elements.
2 — not closed, open ended. two end points that connects between.
3 — half of the energy of an eight. sharing power, health, and wealth. lively connection between three points
4 — stability. sturdy triangular box or square container to put stuff in. stands on own yet part of an expanded element. fortitude. grace. graceful.
5 — changing course. indecisive. eccentricity. combines all numbers — midpoint.
6 — circular. coming together. supportive role with the circle at the bottom. grounded connectedness.
7 — with the traditional “cross” through the T portion, the emphasis is on religion and detached analysis of spirituality.
8 — infinity. there’s never enough power, health, and wealth and it show flow through and within me, not to escape towards anyone else. containment.
9 — reverse of 6 with enhanced energy of 6. leadership role with the circle at the top. collective consciousness connectedness
10 — individualism which connects to wholeness and nothingness. beginning and end with individual one at the helm.

Anyway, that’s a rough *sketch* of how the visual translates into the verbal.

Update: January 2010 I have had this blog since 2005 and I have been looking through it again…  >> The above post was written before learning about any discussion about the shapes of numbers.  About a year later I found a discussion about it in a book about numerology!

Book: Escaping Emotional Entrapment

Monday, October 31st, 2005

Canadian Pricing: American Pricing:

This book uses R.E.B.TRational Emotive Behaviour Therapy

This was a pivotal book that I read about 5 years ago. It helps one think through emotional problems “objectively” and “rationally”. It also helps *reprogram* negative thoughts that we learned while growing up but in a good way (not brainwashing).

I originally picked this up to help a partner out of their tortured mind but as I read I saw myself. I was drawn to it and it helped me to release bad karma. Hope it helps you and yours too.

Preview the book.

Happy Halloween!

Definition: Cold Reading

Cold reading is the technique of using body clues and other things to read a person. In my books, it’s unethical to let that affect a psychic Tarot reading. Integrity compels me to “disclose” anything I’m picking up from this method.

I’m actually a good cold reader but I purposefully *scramble* this ability when giving readings. I would rather the person tell me directly whether they agree or disagree with a statement I’m making then checking out their body cues.

However, some body language is difficult to ignore, such as crossed arms indicating distrust and/or dislike. Trivia: If someone is doing this, mimic them and then will start to relax. The hard part is doing this when you are not a naturally distrusting person and that you have no feelings for the other person either way OR when you want the other person to actually like you.

Things cold readers can see in your body: posture, eye movements, behaviours, and body movements. Cold readers can also get an idea about a person through the clothes they are wearing, colour choices, hair styles, fit of clothing, speech patterns, etc. etc..

Some sitters might be getting a reading from a *cold reader*. Like I said before, I can read cold quite well but I think it’s unethical to let that cloud anything I say to a person. If I do say something that I figured out through cold reading, I might say something like, “but anyone could see that” or “it’s obvious to me that…”.

In fact, cold reading is nothing more than being “observant” and “slowing down time” to see the fine details that so many normal folk miss. 🙂

Article on cold reading by James Randi

Though I’m skeptical of Sylvia Browne’s ability, I must agree and say that if an energy is blocking my reading, it won’t be really good. That’s because my readings need to be free from me worrying about fear and error. I think this makes logical and rational sense really.

If I’m focused on all the “blockages”, then I certainly won’t be able to get through. My psychic ability is clairsentient and telepathic so energy (calm, quiet, and honest) is a really big thing for me. If it isn’t there, I won’t be able to divine much of anything. Then again, I’m here to help more than anything and if divination is the vehicle, so be it!
