Numbers are everywhere. Some are man-made-addresses, telephone numbers, and dates. Others are God-given-the speed of light, the strength of gravity, and the distance between the earth and sun. Pythagoras (570 BC - c. 495 BC), the father of Western philosophy, believed that numbers formed the foundation of the universe. He recognized that numbers have both a quantitative and a qualitative nature. The Pythagoreans discovered that all things can be understood by the qualitative nature of the numbers associated with their vibratory frequencies. Pythagorean numerology provides an elegant yet simple method for discovering the essential characteristics of any person, place, thing, event, or process, whether in the present, past, or future.
