The Ancient Truth Of Your Life Path Number

Math was my least favorite subject at school. However, as an adult I did develop a greater appreciation for it. I even became a bit of a ‘number cruncher,’ but not in the typical way. Instead, I discovered that numbers are far more intriguing than its standard use in the classroom and boardroom.

I might have been much more interested in mathematics in my youth, had I known back then that Pythagoras, the famous Greek philosopher, was much more than just a stodgy old mathematician. Although he is most famous today for his mathematical and scientific discoveries, he was in truth a great mystic whose metaphysical teachings are seldom mentioned in modern textbooks.

Legend has it that miraculous events surrounded his life from an early age, including that his birth was predicted by Pythia, the renowned Oracle of Delphi at the Temple of Apollo. Although he spent his early years studying mostly in Greece, he later relocated to Egypt, where he lived for over two decades to study music, medicine, mathematics, magic, and mystical teachings.

Not only was Pythagoras a psychic in his own right, who practiced divination and prophecy, but he also used mathematics solely for mystical purposes, not for practical reasons. In fact, he believed that everything in the Universe consists of numbers. and that numbers can therefore reveal to us many universal truths and secrets.

Pythagoras is often referred to as the ‘father of modern numerology.’ Inspired by the ancient Chaldean system, he developed Pythagorean numerology, which links numbers and letters, and proposes that there is a divine relationship between numbers and events. Today, his system of numerology is known as Western numerology and is practiced my millions of people all over the world.

The world is built upon the power of numbers. The soul of the universe is harmony and number ~ Pythagoras

It is often assumed that numerology is a modern invention, but it is actually among the oldest of the psychic sciences. Since ancient times numbers have been used in India, Greece, Egypt, China, and Europe in divination, magic and prophecy.

Today, practitioners of numerology continue to believe that numbers reveal our life path and destiny. It is just a matter of doing your ‘sums’ correctly! For example, your Life Path Number is one of the most important numbers in your chart.  It defines your path and overall purpose in life , as well as the potential challenges and opportunities you will encounter in fulfilling your purpose in this lifetime.

Here’s how you can calculate your own Life Path Number:

Add the numbers of the day, month, and year you were born. For example, I was born on 04-26-1960. My birth numbers therefore add up to 28 (4+2+6+1+9+6 = 28). When you add 2 to 8, it equals 1 (1+0 = 1). My Life Path Number is therefore 1.

In numerology, our life path numbers tell us the following about ourselves.

Life Path 1 – A born leader and pioneer who has determination, resilience and willpower and will never stop until you have reached your goals.

Life Path 2 – A diplomat, peacemaker and beautiful soul who stives for harmonious relationships with others.

Life Path 3 – Creative, artistic, charming, influential, excellent communicators, and know how to live life to the fullest.
