Numerology is not new, except as a new phase is always added to any subject by its revival from the past and its adaptation to modern needs. The philosophy of numbers condenses the wisdom and knowledge of seven thousand years, for in ancient times the same numerical values which we are using today were associated with the languages long since discarded.

As human intelligence expands and comprehends larger possibilities for the present and future, it gropes for and adopts new words through which to make its comprehension apparent. While dictionaries become larger, alphabets remain much the same and the exact values of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are not at all affected from generation to generation. Any alphabet is just a scale of letters capable of being collected and arranged into many different combinations, just as the keys of a musical scale can be adapted to express varying moods in composition; the letters and keys themselves however remain the same.

Letters considered apart from words describing a thought or from a name attached to an animate or inanimate object, are found to be sounds of a definite vibratory frequency which can be measured by number. Anything then that has a name has a number and this number found by the addition of the numerical value of the letters which are used to construct the word, is an exact key to the character of the thing named. By this same number can be found the proper relationship to all other words, all other names, all other personalities.

Numerology is so immediately useful as well as a fascinating pastime, that it has fallen into disrepute as merely a fad for choosing lucky numbers and changing names. There is much more than these elementary uses, in fact if the subject is seriously studied and applied it will be found a livable, workable science psychology and philosophy of life.

Every form of modern engineering is a method for analyzing, reconstructing, building, transmuting or reclaiming material and for accomplishing this according to some system of calculation, measurement or deduction erected from a mathematical premise. Numerology in its true sense is also an extension of mathematical principles, erected for the purpose of Human Engineering whereby human material may be analyzed, reclaimed, improved, character built and human experience understood.

The social philosophy of Numerology addresses the moral and spiritual limitations of unaided approach the problems of human living. Life must be understood in its character and living relationship to the individual, and each life-time must be seen as containing experiences not necessarily common to all other humans, and with the aid of numerology, you can be shown more of that unique path.
