A Science — A Philosophy — A Psychology

In the swiftly moving age in which we live and in past ages not so dizzy, governments change, economic depressions come and go, but human nature flows on much about the same.

People are still people and so it is reasonable to suppose that knowing people is an accomplishment which can always be used for entertainment and for progress in social, economic and professional life.

The universal interest in all phases of psychology, in char­acter analysis and vocational guidance points clearly to the fact that such knowledge of man, his character and environment is recognized as fundamental.

Numerology is a system of numbers for measuring the vibration of the letters of the alphabet, so that human person­ality, desire, thought, action and experience may be easily understood in accurate mathematical values.

Numerology is not new, except as a new phase is always added to any subject by its revival from the past and its adap­tation to modern needs. The philosophy of numbers condenses the wisdom and knowledge of seven thousand years, for in ancient times the same numerical values which we are using today were associated with the languages long since discarded.

As human intelligence expands and comprehends larger possibilities for the present and future, it gropes for and adopts new words through which to make its comprehension apparent. While dictionaries become larger, alphabets remain much the same and the exact values of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 are not at all affected from generation to generation. Any alphabet is just a scale of letters capable of being collected and arranged into many different combinations, just as the keys of a musical scale can be adapted to express varying moods in composition; the letters and keys themselves however remain the same.

Letters considered apart from words describing a thought or from a name attached to an animate or inanimate object, are found to be sounds of a definite vibratory frequency which can be measured by number. Anything then that has a name has a number and this number found by the addition of the numer­ical value of the letters which are used to construct the word, is an exact key to the character of the thing named. By this same number can be found the proper relationship to all other words, all other names, all other personalities.

Numerology is so immediately useful as well as a fascinat­ing pastime, that it has fallen into disrepute as merely a fad for choosing lucky numbers and changing names. There is much more than these elementary uses, in fact if the subject is seri­ously studied and applied it will be found a livable, workable science psychology and philosophy of life.

Every form of modern engineering is a method for analyz­ing, reconstructing, building, transmuting or reclaiming mate­rial and for accomplishing this according to some system of calculation, measurement or deduction erected from a mathe­matical premise. Numerology in its true sense is also an exten­sion of mathematical principles, erected for the purpose of Human Engineering whereby human material may be analyzed, reclaimed, improved, character built and human experience understood.

Physical engineers work to reduce various kinds of resist­ance between surfaces, substances and forces; the human engi­neer works to reduce the resistance, the wear and tear, the lost motion which is created between individual experience and the effort of the individual mind to live it and still survive with a belief in and enjoyment of, health, wealth, love and work.

The student of Numerology is provided with a sane, prac­tical, logical, and therefore not always complimentary, view­point of the truth in the problems of his own life. The road to health, wealth, love and work, the only four possibilities of human life, is not presented as a broad general highway which all may travel together, but as a straight individual pathway. This makes for concentration of energy, self confidence and individual success, the knowledge of what to take and what to leave alone. It proves that the sure way to benefit humanity as a whole is to put the individual upon the right track.

The attempt to be successful should, like charity, begin at home, for life is an individual problem even though living is a cooperative experience. The more we watch the other fellow with a view to understanding and helping ourselves, the farther we get from the solution of our troubles.

Being true to ourselves is a sure way to avoid being false to others, but this does not mean doing what we want to do, or even following our hunches all of the time. It means a study of the way our personalities are put together, physically, nervously, mentally and emotionally, so that in our daily life we may learn about the self we are to be true to, and be just as conscious of what we are not doing as of what we are doing, and why.

A careful perusal of this book is a personal investment of time and thought, a sort of psychological accident insurance, so that in social, business and family life, accidents in thinking and acting which bring loss and unhappiness, may be the more easily avoided.

In its human and social techniques, Numerology is dedi­cated to an entirely opposite purpose than the mediocrity which is the natural result of world collectivism and modern mass culture.

Its philosophy upholds the importance of the individual above that of the mass, and seeks to accomplish the democratic ideal of people living together in harmony, by recognizing, measuring and promoting the potentials that lie hidden in the differences between personalities and personal experiences. In practice it demonstrates, in social relationship, that these dif­ferences respected and understood by human science can make for true tolerance, and individual peace of mind.

Such a social science has no need to assume that the quick­est way to a freer, better society is the encouragement of com­mon standards which if accepted and lived by for personal, social, or economic reasons will frustrate everything in human nature but the animal, the natural, the acquisitive.

There are secrets in the constitution of human nature, its collective and individual reactions, which will never be known to sociologists who are without the foundations of natural science extended to the field of human science.

The natural and physical sciences have taught us more about animal man, have produced an actual living filled with the miracles of physical convenience and beauty. Natural psy­chologies have studied, recorded and checked patterns of human-animal behaviorism.

There is another link of inestimable value in extending these necessary and basic studies of natural man into the field of his mental and emotional potentials. The scientist of the future will recognize the need of such a human extension of universal principle, so that generations unborn for the next hundred years, may build a society which will know how to civilize the basic value of technology, extend science toward a benefit in the thought and feeling of the human race.

This approach, in its elementary stages, is possible now to the philosophy, psychology, and science of NUMBER. In the daily action, thought and feeling of thousands of individuals who constitute an intelligent but publicly silent minority, self-knowledge, knowledge of other people, knowledge of life's opportunities is a common basic of daily living.

It is natural that many men and women are troubled be­cause important personal and emotional problems seem to arise from the differences between themselves and others; differences which generally accepted psychology, sources of social educa­tion, and modern superficiality are asking them to ignore.

It is common to meet some types of persons, a kind of experience that we know for a fact has never been met by any close friend or relative. Even when one has more than the average self-knowledge, it is still not possible to know enough about the true meaning of the things that happen, the diffi­culties which suddenly appear and about which there is little choice.

Human Engineering meets the problem thus. If the pres­sure of experience is too great for individual strength; decrease the pressure; or, so deal with the individual that the pressure can be ignored by improvement to the physical, mental, moral fiber of the person who can then deal adequately with the challenge.

The political theory of the Four Freedoms so freely pro­moted in the past two decades, as a comprehensive requisite to a "brave free world" is a clever device unfortunately aimed at reducing the pressure of environment and neglecting any strengthening of the character of individuals. The doctrine of predestination; some of the earlier social codes, taught the reverse; viz, to place the blame upon the sinful individual, the experience itself upon the wisdom of Providence.

The social philosophy of Numerology sees the moral and spiritual limitations of both these approaches to the problems of human living. Life must be understood in its character and living relationship to the individual, and each life-time must be seen as containing experiences not necessarily common to all other humans.

Philosophers and poets have often written that "God has a plan for every man". They have been able to visualize the wonderful Universe with its true beauty that stems from order. Life is too perfect to permit of accident, of effects without causes.

Without adding to their vision and emotion the eternal verities of NUMBER, they have dreamed their dreams, in­spired many, and passed on, without knowing how to teach their generations to discover the Plan, to suggest its reduction to an exact, repeatable and impartial formula, which alone exists in Number.

The eternal WHY? has consequently brought forth the answers of superstition, theology, philosophy, logic, rationaliza­tion and more recently of natural science. All these have had measures of truth joined to their many inconsistencies, without the impersonality to subject mortal and emotional ideas to constants that are neither emotional nor mortal.

Many pupils and friends since 1914; the teachers and stu­dents in the growing field of the Science and Philosophy of Numbers, will recognize that this is not a text book. It endeavors to present to the inquiring lay mind the subject of Numer­ology, its practical application to life, as I teach it, write it and apply it to the hundreds of people who come to me yearly for an accurate psychological viewpoint of their problems.

The angles dealt with are treated in the most condensed form possible, whereas each one of them could itself be made the subject of a book.

The special numbers of 11 and 22, first presented by the late Mrs. L. Dow Balliett, are omitted, because I have found them very confusing to the beginner, but for the more advanced student I consider them essential.

Other phases of analysis which I have created or adapted for use in my consistent method but which are omitted in de­tail are "Pinnacles", for which credit is due to Juno Kayy Wal­ton; "Immediate Period Table", "Subconscious Table", "Kar-mic Lessons": The application of the laws of comparison to birth dates.

In the structure of the present-day Numerology credit is due to Mrs. L. Dow Balliett for the calculation of the vowels in names; to Dr. Julia Seton for the calculation of the consonants, and the laws of "Similars", "Complementaries", "Opposites"; to Artie Mae Blackburn and Valyre Judy for the value of the vowels in first names.

Certain phases of these discoveries which I use more com­pletely in regular practice are included in this present work; the remainder of the writing is the Cheasley consistent method in simple form for the ease of the casual reader.
