Your Days Are Numbered By Brad Steiger       Some people who practice the ancient science of numerology believe that the totality of human experience can be reduced to the digits one through nine. These single numbers, they maintain, contain the essence of all combinations of numbers and their significance. On a number of my recent appearances on Jeff Rense's Sightings, listeners have called in to express their concern, confusion, or frustration with the repetitive manifestation of certain numbers in their lives. Jeff came up with an excellent term for such digits, Totem Numbers. Just as one may throughout his spiritual quest gain totem animals that guide him, so might one attain guiding numbers that manifest to signal psychic alerts--moments to heed, to acknowledge, to be alert on all levels of consciousness. And just as a Totem Animal relates only to specific individuals, so might these Totem Numbers have significance only to those who perceive them as important activating signals in their lives.   Determining Your Life-Path Number Let us say that you were born on March 29, 1968. March is the third month--3 the day 29, 2+9 totals 11 the year 1+9+6+8 totals 24 which reduces [2+4] to 6 Now add 3 with 11 [11 being a Master Number does not reduce]=14 +6=20 Drop the zero, and you have 2 as your Life-Path Number.   What does it mean to have "2 as your Lifepath Totem Number? Let us give a capsule summary of each the nine digits and their esoteric meaning:   1--Key word: individualization The Number One personality will usually seek a certain amount of independence. It is important to this individual to feel in charge. Although cooperative in most social endeavors, the Number One person resents taking orders or having to assume a subservient role.   2--Key word: adaptability Number Two personalities are generally well-adjusted and socially cooperative. In general, people with this Lifepath number are very tranquil in nature. As opposed to the Number One personality, the Number Two types are totally contented to be interdependent upon others. A Number Two would make an excellent roommate or marriage partner, for he or she would be willing to adapt to the needs or wishes of the other. Number Two individuals are great lovers and sensitive to rhythm and music.   3--Key word: expressive People on the Lifepath of Number Three will almost always be outwardly demonstrative in expressing their emotions.

Devoted to manifesting love and light, the Number Twenty-Two individuals have achieved a high-plane evolution and have come to Earth with the mission of abetting the spiritual progress of humankind.       What's in a Name?   Your name is a sound, a direct manifestation of vibration. Since each letter of the alphabet has its distinctive sound, it follows that each letter would also have its own distinctive number. Using the one-to-nine cycle, the following graph shows you how to arrive at the number vibration of your name.   1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z           Example: B I L L S M I T H 2 9 3 3 1 4 9 2 8 17 24 8 6 8+6=14=5   Using the same esoteric digital chart that you used to determine the Lifepath Number, we see that Bill Smith has a name vibration of 5.         Determining Your Totem Number   Certain people have said that it seems wherever they move, their address contains the same numbers, telephone digits contain many of the same number, hotel rooms assigned to them bear the same numbers...on and on...the same numbers keep popping up, leading them to wonder what the significance might be.   Use the same digital reference guide as listed above. Let us say that 11:11 keeps appearing in your life in ostensibly mysterious or strange ways.
