Numerology

Whats with numbers? Subjects like astrology, numerology, palmistry etc. tend to evoke wonder and disdain in equal measure. For most part, people ignore them as something that may be useful but is essentially inaccurate. Far worse, some see it as means to exploit and fleece the mentally weak. All these views have some degree of truth to them.

As a science student, I do not rule out anything without trying it myself objectively. With this view, I started exploring various occult sciences from the age of 15. This was inspired by a chance meeting with an astrologer who described many things about me pretty precisely by just looking at my birth chart. I found the whole thing interesting as I saw it an excellent tool to understand myself and the people around me.

Astrology is pretty complicated, either by design or by accident. In essence, I could make out at least 144 distinct elements that can combine in different proportions to give different personality outcomes. I guess it simply reaffirms that every individual is unique. Nevertheless, there are some basic temperaments and approaches towards life, and some basic ways in which people of different temperament would react to others & the environment.

Interestingly, the occult science essentially means that you should be able to derive the same results no matter which route you take. It can be by reading the palm, numbers, vaastu or even the forehead. It all depends which omens you can read, but the omens will match. I don't think it is humanly possible for anybody to accurately predict the future due to so many uncontrolled variables involved. Perhaps a "Krish"(the movie) style super computer which can correlate each of the variables with supreme accuracy will one day show us the future. But for now, the various omens simply point towards a direction and can only help you to understand yourself and your environment in a better way. Beyond this, if anybody promises you anything, be skeptical.

In the same vein, I have studied Numerology and supplemented it with observation, intuition and correlating with other omens I can read. I do not claim to have all the answers, but I can give you some questions to think about and work with if you have an open mind.

Easy Answers

What do you want to know? What? Why is it that I want easy answers to difficult questions? Elementary my friend: they seem easier and worth a try. Moreover, adaptation is painful and virtue is an unaffordable luxury. So we live for today with least concern for tomorrow. If not this, there are always easier answers to find.

What? Change? Well, it is a good thing. I have been telling my neighbour to change and forgo his greedy nature. I tell you people, short-sighted pigs they are. What? Me? How dare you suggest that?! I deserve this privilege, I was born with it. My ancestors have made the sacrifices and it is only fair that I get the due. What is to be changed here? You must be my neighbour's agent. Tell him he cannot escape from his responsibilities! Better get going before I have you disposed off!
