During my earlier years, when traveling in the East, it had been my good fortune to come in contact with a certain sect of Brahmins who had kept in their hands from almost prehistoric times studies and practices of an occult nature which they regarded as sacredly as they did their own religious teachings. Among other things, they permitted me to learn certain theories on the occult significance of numbers and their influence and relation to human life, which subsequent years and manifold experiences not only confirmed, but justified me in endeavoring to apply them in a practical sense so that others might also use this knowledge with, I hope, advantage to themselves and to those around them
This ancient people, together with the Chaldeans and Egyptians, were the absolute masters of the occult or hidden meaning of numbers, in their application to time and in their relation to human life.
Their judgment, together with that of the Chaldeans, as to the length of what is now known as the cycle of years of the planets, has been handed down to us from the most remote ages, and also by our modern appliances has been proved correct, so when one comes to a study such as this, as to the value of the numbers, 1 to 9, which, as the seven harmonies of music are the bases of all music that has ever been conceived, these above-stated numbers are the basis of all our numbers and calculations, it is then only logical to accept the decisions of those great students of long past ages and at least examine their deductions with a mind free from bias and prejudice.
It is impossible in a book of this size to give in detail all the reasoning and examples that exist for a belief in the occult side of numbers, but it may interest my readers if I give a few illustrations of why the number 7 has for ages been regarded as the number of mystery relating to the spiritual side of things, and why the number 9 has in its turn come to be regarded as the finality or end of the series on which all our materialistic calculations are built, but the most casual observer can only admit that beyond the number 9 all ordinary numbers become but a mere repetition of the first 9. A simple illustration of this will readily suffice. The number 10 as the zero is not a number, becomes a repetition of the number 1. The number 11 added together as the ancient occultists laid down in their law of natural addition, namely, adding together from left to right, repeats the numbers 2, 12 repeats 3, 13 repeats 4 and so on up to 19 which in its turn becomes 1 plus 9 equals 10, and so again the repetition of 1. 20 represents 2, and so on to infinity. The occult symbolism of what are called compound numbers, that is, those numbers from 10 onwards, I will explain later.
In this way it will be seen that in all our materialistic systems of numbers, the numbers 1 to 9 are the base on which we are compelled to build, just as in the same way the seven great or primary harmonies in music are the bases of all music, and again as the seven primary colours are the bases of all our combinations of colours. In passing, it may be remarked that all through the Bible and other sacred books, the seven whenever mentioned, always stands in relation to the spiritual or mysterious God force, and has a curious significance in this sense whenever employed.
Add as many zeros as you like, and keep on dividing by the 7, and you yourself may go on through all eternity and you can only get repetitions of the same 142857, which from time immemorial has been called the sacred number. Now add this number wherever you find it by natural addition, it will give you the figure 27, and as you have seen by the rule of natural addition described on a preceding page, you keep adding till only one number remains, to arrive at what is known as the root of the number. You add again 27 by natural addition, and 2 plus 7 equals 9, or in other words, you get the full range of the first series of numbers on which all materialistic or human calculations can be built.
Believing, as I do, in the Law of Periodicity playing as great a rôle inthe lives of individuals as it does in nations, it is strange to noticethat the same radix numbers that governed Lord Kitchener's career when hewas planning out the Egyptian campaign, which resulted in his greatvictories of Atbara and Omdurman in 1896 and 1897, are exactly the samefor him in 1914-1915, and 1916 gives again the same radix number that in1898 saw him receive a vote of thanks from both Houses of Parliament, anda gift of 30,000 from the State.
Such hands being generally full, fleshy, or soft, there is always adecidedly pronounced indolence in the nature which, if not overcome,combats the hard work necessary to achieve any real result. All veryemotional people have more or less the characteristics of this type, butgreat numbers simply squander their time in the appreciation of art,rather than in making the effort in themselves to create it.
As a rule, they find great pleasure in public ceremonies, and meetings ofall kinds. They love theatres and all places where large numbers ofpeople congregate, and when wound up to the occasion they can displaygreat eloquence, power of argument, and influence in debates. They rarelyhold the positions they win for the run of their careers, they seem toplay the rôle of the moment, and when that is passed they just as quicklyretire into obscurity or into a quiet private life, and often end theirdays in the most unusual or unheard-of places.
Cheiro is "the best astrologer" who belongs to the 20th century who acquired his expertise in India from the Brahmins. It is strange that we have to learn numerology, palmistry and astrology from others who inturn learnt it from Indians !!! The paper quality is good. This book gives you the basic idea about the people born on different dates(1-9), their characteristics, their lucky color, lucky days and precise info regarding the most dreadful number 4 and 8. I have read few books and followed some famous numerologists. I have found the findings of one person being contrary to another. After reading this book, I got a complete picture and I was able to correlate better. I would highly recommend every person who in interested in numerology or a beginner to study his works as it is very clearly explained why things are the way they are and the influence of the numbers on us
He did get a reply from Cheiro, however, instead of focusing on his hand impressions, Cheiro told B.V Raman that 8 and 2 being his fadic numbers, he would live up to the ripe age of 82 when these 2 numbers would come together. B.V.Raman died at the age of 86, well past the predicted age of 82. People who are aware of the predictive powers of Cheiro would be amazed with this incorrect prediction, however, Mrs. Cheiro wrote to B.V.Raman that cheiro had lost his predictive powers due to misplacing of a Talisman which he used to wear.
