Numerology is a metaphysical discipline that examines the holistic influence of numbers on one’s character and destiny.

It does not include “healing codes” (numerical sequences representing timelines of numbers) with specific influences, which some use to resolve problems. Like numerology, there are multiple approaches to these sequences. However, in numerology, the focus is on long-term influences, where the numbers corresponding to individual letters and digits are added together over time.

Numerology is not a genie in a bottle, ready to solve all problems or provide quick, miraculous solutions. Its contribution lies in showing how to enhance someone’s talents and balance their energies. Whether one chooses to develop their talents, set concrete goals, or strive to achieve them is beyond the scope of numerology. Nevertheless, numerology can serve as a guide, making it easier to achieve these goals and overcome obstacles.

Additionally, numerology is not an all-powerful tool for interpreting every detail of life or predicting specific events. While intuitive individuals might use numerology as a supplementary tool for fortune-telling, numerology itself does not foretell the future. First, no one likely knows all the intricate numerological formulas necessary for precise predictions. Second, numerology often works in conjunction with other methods for determining destiny. Third, as humans, we are co-creators of our lives. Finally, divine support and cosmic energies also play a role.

About 15 years ago, I participated in a group meditation session aimed at supporting a teenager who had attempted suicide due to unrequited love. He was in a coma for a long time but awoke the moment we collectively felt that the session had been effective. This experience highlights that astrology, and numerology should not be overestimated.

While many numerologists often claim that numerology is a science of numbers, it does not fall within the realm of traditional science. There is no concrete research that other researchers have replicated. This may be due to the diverse approaches among numerologists, as well as their reluctance to disclose the complete methodologies behind their findings. Therefore, numerology is more accurately classified as a pseudoscience or a branch of metaphysical knowledge.

Numerology is often grouped with astrology and magic under the category of occult knowledge. The term “occult” refers to anything secretive or difficult to access. In the past, this was even more accurate, as ancient texts were often encoded to keep knowledge hidden. Sometimes, this secrecy was necessary to avoid condemnation or persecution, particularly from the Christian Church. Today, the basics of numerology are accessible to everyone, and there is no longer a need for secrecy. However, it is true that some numerologists still keep certain knowledge to themselves.
