Kabbalah Numerology
The ancient science of numbers, known as numerology, influences every aspect of your life. Based on the day you were born and your name at birth, numerology lays out the blueprint of what lies ahead for you. Numerology is an excellent way for people to learn more about the true nature of their self, why they behave a certain way, and can even help them unlock the mysteries of those around them. Each person has a unique set of numbers associated with their name and birthday, which can be then translated into a personalized numerology chart. There are three main systems to numerology including the Pythagorean system, the Chaldean system, and the Kabbalah system.
While the Pythagorean system of numerology may be the most popular system used by modern numerologists, it is not the oldest. Ancient Hebrews incorporated a numerology system in writing the Kabbalah, and numbers play a very important role. First and foremost, it is important to understand what the word “Kabbalah” means. The word itself means “knowledge that comes through the mind and soul rather than through a flesh and blood teacher”. In Kabbalah numerology, this definition is a key grasping the concept overall.
The Kabbalah teaches that everything has a hidden sense, or meaning. This includes every word, every Hebrew letter, every number, and even the accent on the words within the Hebrew Bible, or the Torah. The Kabbalah works to teach the methods of interpreting these secret meanings. One such method is through Kabbalah numerology. It is important to remember that unlike any other language, Hebrew is one in which every letter also has a corresponding number associated with it. There is no separate numerical alphabet in the Hebrew language, which lends to the Kabbalah numerology system.
As you may have observed, the Hebrew language is a theological one. The letters are all interrelated and are divided into three groups of nine letters each. Each group is ten times more powerful than the one that comes before it. The groups are divided in such a way that they each hold a message which can be interpreted.
Generally speaking, the Kabbalah is meant to help students understand the creation of the world, the creator, and the universe itself. Through the study of the Kabbalah, students are taught to have a deeper understanding of God as well as ethics, the soul, and everything else. It is through the meaning of each number, or letter, that Kabbalah students are able to achieve this goal. These meanings are used to interpret the world, people, and our actions. Students can interpret such things as they learn to decode the letters and numbers.
An example of one decoding method in Kabbalah numerology is known as Gematria and it is used extensively. We know that each letter in the Hebrew alphabet represents a corresponding number. When we convert these letters to numbers, we can unlock the hidden meanings of what is written. This is used by various schools throughout the world. While this is a well-known method, there is no set way to do gematria. Some students apply the numerical values to entire words while others do the same for sentences.
The Kabbalah’s origins lie in ancient Hebrew mysticism. The Kabbalah numerology system does not take into account the numerical value of the birthday but only the person’s name. The Kabbalah system is incredibly old and was used by Hebrew mystics across the board. This particular system was developed using the Hebrew alphabet, which means it has only twenty-two numerical vibrations. These vibrations range from 1 to 400. It is important to note that the ancient Kabbalah numerology system was adapted for both the Greek and Roman alphabets. The adaptation is known as “New Kabbalah” numerology and places more focus on events rather than character.
Obviously, in numerology, regardless of the system, the role of numbers is a key one. Each type of numerology has its roots in ancient times and has changed very little since then. Kabbalah numerology is very similar to Pythagorean numerology in that it assigns a numerical value to each letter in the alphabet. However, the main differentiation is that in the Kabbalah system, there is no focus on the date of birth or any other date for that matter. In the Pythagorean system, dates are interpreted as well. It has been argued that the Kabbalah numerology system is the basis for the Pythagorean, or Western, system.
