Belief Is Not Required

Once in a while, I receive a statement like "I believe in numerology" along with the person's numerology question.

While belief may make a person more inclined to see correlations and make subjective meanings associated with numerology results, belief is unnecessary. Numerology works as it does whether or not there is belief.

To help illustrate why belief is not required for numerology to work, I'll use accounting with financial projection as a comparison.

Numerology and accounting both use numbers. Both are practices that take dedication to learn.

Neither requires belief to exist and be what they are.

Both numerology and accounting can be used to make projections and determine the likelihood of certain things happening.

Similar to projections made with accounting, the accuracy of numerological projections are limited to the data available for computation.

Projections are not psychic visions. They are subject to reality:

• If a numerological projection says a certain period resonates with business and material accumulation, and then the person stays home and plays games or engages in other sedentary activities instead of doing what needs to be done, then the material accumulation is unlikely to happen.

• If an accounting financial projection says sales are likely to increase slowly and steadily for five years, and thereafter there is a public relations fiasco or a critical supplier goes out of business, sales are likely to decrease, not increase.

With numerology projections, as with accountancy financial projections, the future depends on people's actions and inactions. In that sense, the future is self-determined. Whether numerology or accounting, the actions of people determine whether or not calculated projections manifest.

For both numerology and accounting, projections are the result of calculations using information at hand.

Free will is never subjugated or reduced in any way. Projections are information, not controls.

Projections don't determine the future. They only determine likelihoods based on information available when the projection was calculated.

The information generally available for numerology calculations are:

1. The person's name and birth date for calculations related to personal characteristics and the types of events and circumstances likely to be experienced as a person lives life.

2. The non-personal names or numbers a person wants a reading for. Examples are telephone numbers, residential addresses, company names, and product names.

Numerology calculations are mathematical — not subject to whim, or "should", or any other changes that subjectively may seem reasonable. The data for the calculations is real data existing in reality — names, numbers, and birth dates — not assumed or believed data.

That is why belief is not required. The calculations work in reality because they are reality.

Calculation results are interpreted to make projections. As with other projections, including financial projections, what is projected is not the current reality. It is assumed or likely to become reality, but not guaranteed.
