We can conceive of numbers through mathematical theories, philosophical defi-nitions, and number symbolism. In the early part of the twentieth century, Jung interpreted the number as an archetype of order that has become conscious, and maintained that numbers are instrumental to the creation of order. He believed that a number is both quantitative and qualitative. Indeed, even investigations in particle physics suggest that changes in atomic quantity result in perceptible qualitative differences in the macroscopic world. Numerology, like astrology, is a symbolic system, one of the many tools we can use to understand ourselves and our life purpose better.
Numbers possess a dual nature and can represent either a positive or a negative force.
Exploring their meaning can help us discover and develop our personal potential and guide us on life's journey. In this book we will focus particularly on the qualitative interpretations of numbers in relation to a person's day and month of birth, and we show in the following pages how simple it is to discover your holistic number.
