Numerology At A Glance by Clifford W. Cheasley PHILOSOPHER

The Meaning Of Your Birth
Date
Human life is composed
of two processes, giving out and taking in. Expressing the
vibration or rate of energy contained in the character at
birth and including the vibration or rate of energy contained
in environment, experiences and associations. These processes
perpetuate our psychical or cosmic existence in the same way
as the inhalation and exhalation of the breath continues our
physical life by revitalizing our cell consciousness.
Just as a name is a full
and complete record of all the vibrations and elements of
character, a record of lessons learned in past lives, and an
infallible indication to the characteristics, impulses,
appearance and abilities of the present individuality, so the
birth date represents the character of the environment, the
associations and experiences by which our character is
extended into a greater state of perfection, and is a definite
indication of what we are living for and the underlying
causes.
The actual experiences and personalities
presented by life as a whole, and also peculiar to certain
periods, are simply the outward and visible manifestations or
the effects of these causes. Thus Numerology deals with the
two important phases of character analysis, viz.: Individual
character and environment.
Individual development
is begun with the first breath taken in life, and naturally as
an individual reaches and passes maturity he registers and
reproduces certain elements of the birth date numbers in his
individual contact with conditions and his general
personality. The "Path of Life", as the numbers of the birth
date are termed, indicate then the immediate destiny of every
individual, what has to be learned as the next step in
development, necessary to the construction of a consciousness
of human life. As the true value of this step is understood we
will evolve constructively and harmoniously adjusting to the
opportunities and associations around us.
A great deal of
unhappiness met by the average individual is really due to
their ignorance of any definite plan of thought or action
which they should follow and other people should not.
Sometimes other people are blamed for our troubles when the
real cause is that we are trying to follow someone else's path
and not our own, or are seeking experiences which may be good
for the other fellow but bad for us.
Numerology
proves by its calculation and explanation of the numbers in
the birth date that Life is an individual problem, that what
"is sauce for the goose" is not always "sauce for the gander."
There can be very few happy and permanently successful people
in any social order where there is too much generalization in
philosophies and too much standardization of personal thought
and action.
People are more than
male and female, old and young, rich and poor, educated and
illiterate. They are individuals, proceeding from the cradle
to the grave in social functions and experiences that only
seem to make their paths appear the same; as a matter of fact
we all are born singly, make our decisions singly, suffer
singly, and at the end no one else can die for us.
Character is the only
possession we bring into life or take out of it, and if we
study the numerals of our birth date we shall find the proper
keys to the building and rounding out of our character which
of itself is the best assurance of success.
It is well to gain a
clear picture of the relative values of the four angles of
compiling a measurement of an individual name for character
anaylization, and dealing with the numbers in a birth date for
interpreting experience, association and opportunity.
The value of
Ideality can be termed "WHAT I WANT TO DO". The value of the
Impression, "WHAT I LOOK LIKE"; the value of the Expression,
"WHAT I CAN DO AND HOW"; the value of the PATH OF LIFE
NUMBERS, "WHAT I HAVE GOT TO DO".
The Path of Life
indicating the direction of a person's life, the association,
opportunity and experience by which human character and
performance is developed, it is an easier road of life for he
who has the Ideality Number or the Expression Number, the same
as the number of the Path of Life.
In such a case, the
individual either desires the expression association,
opportunity which his life provides, or with the Ideality
number different from the Path of Life but with the Expression
Number the same, he finds people, places and things in life
that recognize and develop his potentials for successfully
doing what is required of him.
In cases where the
Ideality or Expression Number are not in accord with the Path
of Life, or Life Cycle number, there will be a greater
conflict in the individual character between desire and
ability, "what I want to do" and "What I can do and how".
This conflict related
also to a different number for the Path of Life, will make it
necessary for the individual to spend a greater number of
years, to pass through more experience, before an adjustment,
or a compromise is able to be made between the desire urge and
the instinctive manner and method of self expression; between
one or both of these angles of temperament and the
opportunities which experience brings. In other words,
whatever the Number of the Path of Life is, it is easier to
progress in life if either the Ideality or Expression number
is identical, than if they are opposite, viz. odd against even
and vice versa.
To find the "Path of
Life" number, write down the date of your birth. Be sure that
the month is written first, the day second and the year last,
as each of the numbers of the month, day and year are in
themselves indicators to experiences, associations,
opportunities for the early life, the middle life and the
later years, respectively.
Under the month place
the number that it takes in the Calendar. January and October
are 1, February and November are 2, March and December are 3,
April is 4, May is 5 and so on through the year.
Add to this number the
number of the day of birth. If you were born after the tenth,
the double number must be added to find the numeral of the
day. Now take the numerals in the year of your birth and find
the sum of these. Add this sum to the sum of the numbers of
the month and day already found and the final total of a
single number will be the "Path of Life."
Example:
December 15,
1890
12 — 15 —
1890
1+2 — 1+5 — 1+8+9+0
3 — 6 —
1+8
3 + 6 + 9 + 8 + 9
Path of Life, Opportunity, Environment
When you have made this
calculation and found the key to your life experiences turn to
that number in the index and read the explanation applying to
that number under the heading "Path of Life."
