From the book, "Ultimate Edition Glynis Has Your Number Discover What Life Has in Store for You Through the Power of Numerology," by Glynis McCants with some of my own ideas thrown in based on my 1 year of study of Philosophy at the university, I share with you now some key concepts of Numerology in the hope you will be piqued to purchase Glynis McCants' book and apply Numerology in your life because it works!

Numerology has been known and applied in our world for about 2,500 years. The Greek mathemetician, theoretician and philosopher, Pythagoras, born in the early 6TH century B.C.E for whom the Pythagorean Theorum of geometry is named, is credited as being the father of numerology. During Pythagoras' time it was widely believed that the universe was created from vibrating energy and that this energy was able to be understood through numbers, each representational and conceptual number possessing is own unique quality, frequency and vibration. Consider the musical scale, octaves, tonal harmonies and dishamonies, etc. and the ancient Greek idea of the planetary "Music of the Spheres." Pretty neat so far, huh, considering the recent modern notion of String Theory by Michio Kaku and others who are theoretical matheticians credited with having discovered it, but without every day practical application as Pythagoras had theorized for Numerology?
Greeks thought that all matter consists of vibrating numerological energy and that to understand a person, place or thing all that was needed was knowledge of those numbers making up its' vibrational energy pattern.
Plato was born in the century following Pythagoras' and above the door to Plato's acadamy was the sentence, "Don't enter here if you don't know geometry."
The astronomer, Johannes Kepler (1571 - 1630), expressed his opinion that "God is geometry."
The abstract painter, Paul Klee (1879 - 1940), said, "... it is not the forms we respond to in art, but the geometric shapes beneath the forms."
Glynis' says in her book on page 3 (3 is my primary number in Numerology), "Pythagoras believed that the vibration or "tone" of the universe at the exact moment of birth has in influence over a person's character and his/her destiny in life. This Numerological "blueprint" places each human into a classification from level 1 (characterized primarily by learning about the self) to Level 9 (characterized primarily by learning selflessness). ... His greatest aim was to show the world that numbers have the power to bring all life into unity and harmony."
Glynis' book covers:
Soul Number
Personality Number
Power Name Number (Names are able to be changed to change the name vibration)
The Birth Day Number
The Life Path Number
The Attitude Number
and
relationship numbers
house numbers (The house number vibration is able to be changed by putting up a number on the inside of the outside door.)
pet name numbers
So, by understanding numerology, people are able to proactively change vibrations to create harmony in their life. Now, how neat is that? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha ... I love it! ENJOY!
"Pythagoras believed that the vibration or "tone" of the universe at the exact moment of birth has in influence over a person's character
Interesting indeed Jen. You always have something new for us. It sounds like our embedded tone helps determine what kind of music we will make in life.

so how do we change those vibrations?
btw, my number is V (5)

We have seen the effects of tonality, frequenty and vibration on water. The mind too has resonance, and what we think and believe, if it is in harmony with true universal principles, combines to make our world harmonius or disharmonius, if not. Nothing exists apart from consciousness. So, it's all a matter of attunement. Physical numbers are physical representations of intangible processes that may be used to explain them. It all comes down to conscious awareness and applications of universal principles in our every day lives.
Consider people's names who you know. There is a "feeling about it. Think of numbers themselves, each has a different quality of beingness.

Oh, -V-, you asked the meaning of the 5 vibration. A 5 vibration person is characterized as one who seeks freedom and adventure. I am a 3 vibration characterized as valuing communication an creativity. Communication is MOST important to me in my life. I have to communicate. That's what I'm here to do and have always done. If I were unable to communicate, I would be a MOST unhappy person. My job requires it too!

By any measure, the Pythagorean theorem is the most famous statement in all of mathematics, one remembered from high school geometry class by even the most math-phobic students. Well over four hundred proofs are known to exist, including ones by a twelve-year-old Einstein, a young blind girl, Leonardo da Vinci, and a future president of the United States. Here--perhaps for the first time in English--is the full story of this famous theorem.
Although attributed to Pythagoras, the theorem was known to the Babylonians more than a thousand years before him. He may have been the first to prove it, but his proof--if indeed he had one--is lost to us. Euclid immortalized it as Proposition 47 in his Elements, and it is from there that it has passed down to generations of students. The theorem is central to almost every branch of science, pure or applied. It has even been proposed as a means to communicate with extraterrestrial beings, if and when we discover them. And, expanded to four-dimensional space-time, it plays a pivotal role in Einstein's theory of relativity.
In this book, Eli Maor brings to life many of the characters that played a role in the development of the Pythagorean theorem, providing a fascinating backdrop to perhaps our oldest enduring mathematical legacy.
Eli Maor teaches the history of mathematics at Loyola University in Chicago. He is the author of Venus in Transit, Trigonometric Delights, e: The Story of a Number, and To Infinity and Beyond: A Cultural History of the Infinite (all Princeton).

"At last, a popular book that isn't afraid to print a mathematical formula in all its symbolic glory! Thanks to Eli Maor for proving--in his delightful, playful way--the eternal importance of a three-sided idea as old as humankind."--Dava Sobel, author of Longitude
"Eli Maor has brought four thousand years of history back to life, all based on the Pythagorean theorem but still giving the times a distinctly human look. This book is designed for readers who are inspired, or who want to be inspired, by the numbers that Eli uses to tell his story. Readers will learn about the mathematics of the time, but more important, they will understand the people and the ideas of that period. A monumental effort."--David H. Levy, National Sharing the Sky Foundation
"There's a lot more to the Pythagorean theorem than a² + b² = c², and you'll find it all in Eli Maor's new book. Destined to become a classic, this book is written with Maor's usual high level of skill, scholarship, and attention to detail. He's also got a sense of humor that will please a range of readers. As we used to say in the 1950s, 'Miss it and be square!'"--Paul J. Nahin, author of Chases and Escapes and Dr. Euler¹s Fabulous Formula
"Eli Maor states that the Pythagorean theorem 'is arguably the most frequently used theorem in all of mathematics.' He then supports this claim by taking his reader on a journey from the earliest evidence of knowledge of the theorem to Einstein's theory of relativity and Wiles's proof of Fermat's last theorem, from the Babylonians around 1800 BCE to the end of the twentieth century. I think that the reader who makes the journey with Maor will be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt. He is the first author who has sifted through all the mathematics, history of mathematics, and physics books and collected for us just the material directly related to the Pythagorean theorem."--Robert W. Langer, Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire

Now we see that Euclid's Proposition 47 predates the geometric theorum that is credited to Pythagoras, and that the Babylonians applied the theorum 1,000 or more years before Pythagoras that means before Euclid as well. The earliest mention of Babylon is found in a tablet written in the rein of Sargon of Akkad in the 23RD century BCE.
Euclid about 325 BCE to about 265 BCE
Pythagoras about 580 BCE to about 500 BCE
I have long speculated that extraterrestrials brought knowledge of mathmatics and the arts to Earth. They who brought that knowledge to Earth may have been the original caucasian race who were escaping the Draco from Mars to Earth following the destruction of their home planet, remnants of which is the astroid belt that is located between Jupiter and Mars perhaps hundreds of thousands of years ago. I say that the great majority of what we know now is not new, but rediscovery.
When will we correct Earth's history and math books I wonder?

Well, that's not correct. Pythagoras predates Euclid. Babylon predates Pythagoras. How old is the Sphinx and the Great Pyramid? They predate the Great Flood as evidence of water ring erosion around the Sphinx from top to bottom clearly shows.

"More than a millennium before Pythagoras, the Old Babylonians (ca. 1900-1600 B.C.E) used this relation to solve geometric problems involving right triangles. Moreover, the tablet known as Plimpton 322 shows that the Old Babylonians could construct all the so-called Pythagorean triples, those triples of numbers a, b, and c such that a2 + b2 = c2 which describe triangles with integral sides. (The smallest of these is 3, 4, 5.) For more on Pythagorean triples, see X.29.Lemma 1."
"The rule for computing the hypotenuse of a right triangle was well known in ancient China. It is used in the Zhou bi suan jing, a work on astronomy and mathematics compiled during the Han period, and in the later important mathematical work Jiu zhang suan shu [Nine Chapters] to solve right triangles."
I think it is likely that there is much more to evalute before the first is really known.

Another important fact is that the ancients of Summaria and Babylon and Egypt used the sexagesimal numbering system, base 60, sixty seconds in a minute, sixty minutes in an hour, and 60 X 6, or 360 degrees in a circle. There are Annunaki extraterrestial references to base 60 too that relate as well to their social rank ordering system.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonia
"... Among the Babylonians' mathematical accomplishments were the determination of the square root of two correctly to seven places (YBC 7289 clay tablet). They also demonstrated knowledge of the Pythagorean theorem well before Pythagoras, as evidenced by this tablet translated by Dennis Ramsey and dating to c. 1900 BC:
4 is the length and 5 is the diagonal. What is the breadth? Its size is not known. 4 times 4 is 16. And 5 times 5 is 25. You take 16 from 25 and there remains 9. What times what shall I take in order to get 9? 3 times 3 is 9. 3 is the breadth.
The ner of 600 and the sar of 3600 were formed from the unit of 60, corresponding with a degree of the equator. Tablets of squares and cubes, calculated from 1 to 60, have been found at Senkera, and a people acquainted with the sun-dial, the clepsydra, the lever and the pulley, must have had no mean knowledge of mechanics. A crystal lens, turned on the lathe, was discovered by Austen Henry Layard at Nimrud along with glass vases bearing the name of Sargon; this could explain the excessive minuteness of some of the writing on the Assyrian tablets, and a lens may also have been used in the observation of the heavens. ..."
