Affinity Numerology : Often Asked Numerology Questions
Learning Numerology
Every once in a while I get a question through our contact form related to learning numerology. And soliciting advice.
An obvious answer is to study it. But there's more to it than that. Yes, a person must study the subject. However, study by itself provides only intellectual knowledge, not experiential knowledge.
First, I'll list several numerology books for study, the ones I keep handy in my office. Then I'll talk about things a person can do to gain experience to support and enhance their intellectual knowledge.
Your Days are Numbered; A Manual of Numerology for Everybody by Florence Campbell. This book was published in 1931. It'll provide a grounding for studying later works.
Numerology; The Romance in Your Name by Juno Jordan. This one was published in 1965 and is my first go-to when I need to clarify something related to numerology calculations or interpretations. Dr. Jordan founded the California Institute of Numerical Research and has over 50 years of numerological experience.
Numerology; Key to Your Inner Self by Hans Decoz with Tom Monte. Published in 1994. Although a later publication than the ones listed earlier, very little has changed.
Now, let's talk about things you can do to gain experience and, thus, gain depth and perspective on your intellectual knowledge of numerology.
Experiential Knowledge of Numerology
Experiential knowledge comes from using numerology in one or more of several ways. It enhances intellectual understanding, giving it the depth only experience can provide.
Here is a list of ways experiential knowledge can be gained. It isn't necessary to do all of them as doing even just one can provide the experience to boost understanding considerably.
1. Do numerology readings.
Doing numerology readings is the main activity for improving your knowledge and your skill with the subject. Provide free or paid readings. Do whatever you need to do, with integrity of course, to get willing agreements from people for you to do a reading for them.
Readings may be formal or casual, recorded or not, whatever you're most comfortable with. The more readings you do, the more you understand people. The more you understand people, the deeper you'll understand numerology.
2. Write numerology articles.
If you have a relevant website, writing articles about the aspects of numerology you're certain about can enhance that certainty. And writing about areas you're not as certain about will show you where you need to do research so the articles can be factually correct.
If you don't have a website, you can start one or ask other sites if they're willing to consider you writing for them.
3. Teach numerology.
One of the best ways to permanently learn something is to teach it. Teaching may be
- answering questions people have about numerology as you can,
- writing about numerology,
- giving speeches about it,
- leading some classes,
- taking on an apprentice,
or other ways that work for you to impart your knowledge to others.
A Hint
Numerology isn't a science of predetermination. Nothing it reveals is set in stone.
Because people have free will, they can benefit from knowing the tendencies and likelihoods revealed with numerological calculations.
When they see where things are headed, they can elect to support it or to do things to turn the tide. As a third option, they may let the tendency proceed and arrange things to take advantage of it or to reduce its impact when the situation arrives.
That's a true value of numerology — the revelation of what's likely, giving people a choice to influence it or prepare for it.
When you know numerology and can work with it comfortably and as a professional, then you are in position to provide something truly valuable.
