Back when I was in college, I was quite the Christian. I attended 3 bible studies a week, made sure to go to Church every Sunday and I read my bible regularly. Contrary to what many may think, much of these acts of devotion brought me a lot of satisfaction. I felt I was on a path, that I had a plan and a destiny.
But, as is always the case with the young, I had an experience that caused me a great deal of disillusionment. Terribly disappointed and troubled, I stopped feeling that organized religion had something to give me so I rejected it all. And it left a very big hole in my life.
Round about that time, I met a woman named Esther Bear at a Psychic Fair. She did a quick reading for me that blew me away. Using just my birthday and the letters in my name, my hopes and dreams, my ambitions and fears were all fodder for her reading. In all my days of attending Church, I never felt that anyone had seen me really, or understood my true self. And here was this stranger, ticking off details about me with all the familiarity of my mother. It was at that moment that I decided to study numerology.
The field of numerology isn't perfect. There are many schools of thought, differing interpretations, annoyingly vague aspects. But it fit for me. It gave me hope that I might feel whole again as a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual being. I hope it fits for you too.
And please note, my study and endorsement of numerology doesn't mean that it is the ONLY means to illumination or enlightenment or even serenity. It is one of many ways to access the great unknown. Thank you for taking this journey into this ancient esoteric art with me!
