A lot of people do not believe in Numerology and the strength of numbers. For most of us, numbers are just mathematical symbols to quantify things.
But if we say we don't believe in the power of numbers, why then is it that if we are asked if we have a lucky number, our ready answer is “yes”? What could this mean?
Aside from adding up two numbers together, we also use numbers in deriving the complex relationships found in nature and in defining the patterns within a space, structure and others. This will require a higher level of mathematical skill. You have to posses an Master's degree in Abstract algebra to understand all these things. For most of us, these numbers are just way over our head.
Math is used in many scientific fields in the creation of formulas and in providing solutions to a variety of problems. You will soon discover that a lot of people put their faith in numbers and believe in the power that it possess. The kind of power you never expected.
THE DOCTRINE OF NUMBERS
In school, we were taught that math is a science. But in fact, Math is abstract and is a self-evident axiom that is used to explain some realities. According to some definitions, math is eliminated as the non-empirically proven discipline. In conclusion, it should not be considered as a field of science.
There are some different theories that contradict this belief. One of them fully acknowledges math as the confirmation of truth in nature.
The argument of this approach is that all things on this earth and beyond it, could be explained through math. The right methods have not yet been discovered. Several mathematicians may be using this standpoint as of today. Yet there is a more unconventional way of understanding math and numbers.
WHERE NUMEROLOGY CAME FROM
Numerology came from the belief that math and numbers is a universal language which can be used in revealing the divine grace of nature. This was based on the thoughts and works of the early philosophers and mathematicians such as Pythagoras and Hippo.
A lot of people may argue that the birth of numerology is way older than the theories of Pythgoras. The numerological divination traditions of both the Arabs and Chinese validate this argument. Pythagoras's theories date back to 500 BC while the origins of the Chinese and Arabic theories are so old that its impossible to date.
BASICS OF NUMEROLOGY
Most of these theories are rejected by us. But this overwhelming power of numbers do have a lot of followers. While some people would lean to numbers in the astrological field, others approach numbers in a spiritual way and still others use numbers in the alchemic arts. The one thing that connects all these various schools of numerology is that numbers represent a special meaning that affects all the physical and abstract objects surrounding us including living things.
These theories and philosophies may be too much for our comprehension that we tend to look somewhere else for an explanation.
Going back to lucky numbers, personally I find number 7 specifically lucky. This same number should not be shouted out loud in tables of craps in Las Vegas. 7 is believed to be the cause of serious bad luck to players in the whole table.
During the 2008 Summer Olympics in China, the officials chose to open the ceremonies on August 8, 2008 at exactly 8:00 pm. The number 8 signifies riches for the Chinese that is why the 2008 Olympics began at 8 pm on the 8th day in the 8th month of the 8th year of the millenium. It is evident that numerology is being followed in today's modern world even if most of us would call it as nonsense.
THE DEFINITION OF NUMBERS
Numerology has several approaches. There is no general definition of the specific numbers. There are some well known examples available and it is left up to you to interpret every specific number.
0 Everthing, All
1 Provoking, Individual
2 Unification, Balance
3 Neutrality, Interaction
4 Creation, Foundation
5 Battle, Action
6 Reaction, Fluctuation
7 Awareness, Conscious
8 Control, Sacrifice
9 Change, Turmoil
10 Increase, Rebirth
GAMBLING AND NUMEROLOGY
Previously it was mentioned how number 7 can bring bad luck in a game of craps. There are many other areas in which numerology affects gambling. Most players use the birthdates and ages of friends and family in deciding on the numbers to bet on buying a lottery ticket.
GENERATORS OF LUCKY NUMBERS
Online you can find many lucky number generators that will help you in deciding which numbers to play. Using your birthdate and name, these number generators will give you personal numbers that are supposed to bring you luck.
The generators use an astrological standpoint in calculating for your lucky number by basing it on the position of the stars during your time of birth and the time of gambling.
THE LUCKY NUMBER OF SLOTO'CASH
Casino players at Sloto'Cash tend to rely on superstition and astrology when gambling. Recently, the casino launched their new game called “Lucky Numbers”. Together with the launching of the new game, the Casino presented a professional numerology columnist who addressed the gamblers numerology related concerns right on the site.
SUPERSTITIONS OF THE CHINESE
You can probably write a book about Chinese gambling superstitions because there are just too many of them. As mentioned earlier, number 8 is a powerful number in Chinese tradition because it brings in lots of luck. Others say that 8 sounds like “faat” which in Mandarin and Cantonese means prosperity. Chinese gamblers avoid numbers 4 and 5 because the pronounciation of these words are similar to “won't” and “die”.
For this reason, several Hong Kong based hotels and casinos omit the 4th and 5th floors. Several Chinese high rollers who fly to Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Casino urging the casino officials to delete number 40 to 59 completely.
A GAMBLER'S SUPERSTITIOUS MIND
Gamblers as a whole are branded as a superstitious breed by the general public. There is a story of a gambler who professed he no longer believed in superstition because it brought him bad luck. Although we find the story funny, deep inside us gamblers, we will be willing to try anything that could change our luck and decrease the house advantage.
Honestly, no rhyme or reason is relevant when it concerns finding our fortune. Whether you decide to play the lucky numbers game at the casino or not, numerology has a big impact on gambling that it just cannot be ignored.
Play your lucky numbers, or use all the constellations in the sky to guide you in placing your bets. Stick to these ways and you will realize that you have been using numerology or the power of numbers in making your decisions.
