The Base-12 Connection Between Math, Nature, and Spirituality The number 12 serves many practical uses in our daily lives, including the way we track time (in twelve-hour clock cycles and years in twelve-month calendar cycles), measure length (in twelve inches per foot) and package items (often in multiples of twelve). There's a good mathematical reason why counting in 12's, called the "base-12" number system, has stood the test of time: it can be divided evenly in a number of ways such as in half (2 groups of 6), thirds (3 groups of 4), quarters (4 groups of 3) or sixths (6 groups of 2). This makes it twice as versatile and efficient as the decimal or "base-10" system of counting in ...
Chaldean numerology has traveled a rather bumpy road since its birth in ancient Mesopotamia thousands of years ago. In later years, for a variety of reasons, people needed a simpler system to work with—and thus, Chaldean suffered an NDE (metaphorically speaking, of course). While most thought the subject dead, a group of low-key scholars kept it on life support for another few thousand years, during which time it was carefully studied and passed down to further caretakers.

Much of what once was considered secretive and kept from the masses has now rapidly become mainstream. The current explosion of the New Age and Self Help markets tells of a significant thirst for ...
When most people think of holistic health, numerology doesn' spring to mind. I know I didn't think of numerology as a part of a balanced healing regime. At first glance, one wants to relegate numerology to simple fortune telling and associate it with the arts of prediction, including astrology, tarot, pendulums, and runes. Though each is surrounded with an air of mystique and a lot of superstitions, all of these oracle systems can be a part of a whole health plan. On the surface, people think of systems such as numerology as tools for prediction, control, and learning your fate, but each is a complex system of spiritual psychology, helping us understand the root issues we face that ...
