I have to say, I really didn't like this article. The fact that people believe in so many superstitious things in the 21st century continues to astound me, when there are powerful modes of explanation out there now that beat anything superstition ever gave us. e.g. science. Just remember it was the Aztec's superstition, and unwillingness to test their theories, that led to them committing untold human sacrifices. Superstition can be harmful, even though numerology is probably quite harmless. That said, let's look at some reasons why we should suspect that the viewpoint put forth in this article is not true:
- Numbers have no inherent meaning. In mathematics it is only the relationships between properties of numbers (e.g. 2 + 2 = 4, 2*7 = 14) that are studied. Not their mystical relationship to human well being.
- Our month system is completely arbitrary, due to historical accident. We could just as easily have had four "months", one for each season, or 24 months, one for each half-month. It all depended on the rulers we had. Now you could make the argument that history was pre-ordained but then you're piling another superstition on top of the first one.
I can see why you think this and in fact, you are right about your 2 arguments. However... it is not the numbers that are important! When people are born, they are imprinted with energy. This is the same with thoughts, businesses, and anything else. If you don't believe me, look into the law of attraction. This energy can be read with numbers. You could just as easily read the energy with the alphabet, binary, or any other system, only the meaning of each number/symbol would change. The way I use numerology is simply a way for me to read a person's energy and has NOTHING to do with the actual number or date. Let me put it this way, mathematics is the physical side of numbers, and numerology is the spiritual side of them. If you are still skeptical, then what is your birthday and I will turn you into a believer.

It's been great having this discussion with you but really there's not too much point in trying to convince me. I also don't believe that people are imprinted with energy when they are born. I believe in the laws of physics only. I don't believe in souls. I don't believe there is necessarily an afterlife. I believe that our consciousness is an emergent phenomenon that arises from the laws of physics but we have, as yet, not explained fully. I don't believe in any deities/gods either. I am very much in a minority. Most people believe in a supreme being or a greater purpose for their life. I don't happen to. I think we are an amazing accident of the universe with no grander purpose.
I'm just telling you these things as it will not be easy to sway me, but you may, of course, try. I will always be civil with you.

I respect your opinion. If you want to private message me on steemit.chat, you are willing to do so. I was a skeptic too at first, but the information is truly life changing and I know it could help you in a lot of ways.
