“ For example, knowing his own NAME and BIRTH NUMBERS, he always has the privilege of bringing them into harmony, not only with each other, but with the numbers of other persons and things that may come into his life. To accomplish this result, it is merely necessary for him to change the discordant name to one that stands in more proper relation to those to which he has been opposed. ”

“ Thus, it was not many years ago that science made the discovery of man’s duality of mind, and yet, to-day, the fact of the existence of a subconscious as well as a conscious sense is generally regarded as a well-established conclusion. Because we were once unable to fathom this mystery of the dual consciousness, we supposed that the mind of man was capable of but one method of manifestation. ”

“ As the act of changing a name is often a matter of grave consequence to the individual, it is well to remember that, while the new name will exert a greater ratio of power if adopted for all time, and in all the social and business affairs of life, it is not absolutely necessary that such a definite step should be taken. In accordance with the operation of the law of numbers, the name by which we know ourselves and the name by which we are known to other people are both of importance ”

“ Another influence of the Triads that may be turned to considerable advantage in all the affairs of life may be found in their effect upon the months and the days of the month, for there are harmonious and inharmonious, or fortunate and unfortunate days, just as there are numbers that are in concord and numbers that are in discord with the particular vibration in which we have our being. ”

“ To a great extent proficiency in applying the the principles of the Science of Numbers is a question of practice, for, while the rules are exact, the phenomena of their manifestation varies so materially in each individual case that it would require a volume of huge proportions to describe all the operations of each rule, to say nothing of the many exceptions that affect this play of lights and shadows. ”

“ It ls true that the name of the child is the act of man—the act of the parents, for which the child is not directly responsible. To hold him responsible, in fact, would be unreasonable, if not unjust, and it is in precisely this respect that the Science of Numbers appears as the great adjustor of human blunders. Thus, the child who could not prevent his parents from giving him an inharmonious name, can change that name to bring it into more perfect concord with harmonious vibrations. ”

“ To comprehend the apparently mysterious operation of the Science of Numbers, and its effect upon the health, happiness, and success of the individual, the student must first master the table that follows, for the very cornerstone of the Science rests upon the relationship which exists between the numbers, and the letters of the alphabet. ”

“ The influence upon the life of the individual can best be compared to the effect that would be experienced if a player should strike an octave upon the piano, and should play it persistantly, leaving the rest of the harmony unexpressed. ”

“ It is so full of life, strength, and integrity that it is both a creative and a productive number. It deals justly with everybody, but while firm for the right, it will not become aggressive under wrong. ”

“ The Science of Numbers teaches that each letter, or number, possesses certain distinct characteristics, and that, in accordance with the manner of the occurance of these forces in the name and birth of the individual, such qualities manifest themselves for good or for evil. ”

“ Thus, we know, by reference to our own experiences, that we cannot be ill in body and at the same time genuinely happy. We know. too, that we do our best work when in good health, and that any attack upon our strength and vitality has an immediate and appreciable effect upon our mental and physical energies. To make the most out of life, therefore, it is absolutely necessary that the NAME NUMBER and BIRTH NUMBER should be in harmony. ”

“ To the contrary, every psychic law that is discovered only tends to emphasize more fully the importance of the Science of Numbers, and the necessity of taking advantage of the opportunities it offers to put ourselves more fully into harmony with the vibrations that shape the course of human experiences. ”

“ In its other nature, it is a dweller in two worlds; a dreamer; a castle-builder; the judge who delves deeply in search of the intention behind the deed, in the belief that it is the motive more than the act that counts. ”

“ Intensity of nature controls, and all heights of attainment are possible to one who is a 2 through 11. In name, a 6 through 33 has a very high rate of vibration. Such a person is an idealist, a dreamer, seldom works for self benefit, and is intuitional in arriving at conclusions. It would lead one to philanthropic work, and would help in the pursuits of literature and oratory. While the name and birth numbers are not in harmony, they are sympathetic, and both hold some of the same characteristics, like sensitiveness and self-reliance, with tendencies to extremes. ”

“ In other words, instead of fighting, a 40 will urge arbitration as a means of adjusting difficulties. As the result, “M” cannot be a leader. It will serve faithfully and honestly, but its greatest success comes from executing plans made by others. It sometimes shows some originality, especially when it becomes a worker of the soil, but its strongest quality is spirituality. Under proper vibrations it may develop remarkable psychic gifts, and there is no letter that will bear a cross so bravely, or with so little complaint. Thus, when out of harmony, “M” will bring many burdens into the life. ”

“ A 3 in birth indicates a strong social nature, a good talker, the lover of humanity, a leader of men. Such an individual would have to be engaged in a work of wide-spread influence, or, otherwise, he would not be happy. A name that is 8 through 26 would indicate intensity in feeling, world love, and high aspirations. The two numbers, while not in harmony, work in the same direction so far as the brotherhood of man is concerned. The three “As” in the name show a life of great beginnings and numerous important changes, as each “A” comes before a letter that is out of harmony with the birth. ”

“ Even though one is not in any sense a musician, he may still take advantage of this law. For example, let him ask some more musical person to teach him how to pick out the little triad, or chord, of his own individual key, and he will require no further knowledge of music, for he will then be able to strike this chord at least once each day. If a person whose musical keynote is Major should be an individual who Is easily excited, however, it will be better for him to play the chord in the minor. ”

“ It would be quite within its law that the bearer should be firmly set in his opinions; should persist in carrying undertakings to the point of completion, and should not recognize the meaning of the word “defeat.” When out of harmony such a person would probably be subject to attacks of alternate mental depression and exhileration. The name number, 2 through 38 and 11, is one of extremely intense vibrations, an influence that would be seen in extremes of conditions, both mental and otherwise. In other words, intensity of nature controls such a person—if not good, he is evil. ”

“ It is in just this manner that, little by little, man has awakened to a deeper and truer appreciation of the nature of the laws that God has formulated for the government of human affairs, and there is no principle taught in the Science of Numbers that to any degree contradicts, or opposes any recognized manifestation of divine law. ”

“ As each and all of these letters are extremely powerful, the appearance of several inharmonious factors in a name is certain to bring discomforts and trials as the life is drawn under the influence of such disadvantageous Cycles. In fact, the influence of the Cycle in which the individual is now living, is the next fact to be considered in the reading of the name: after which we may pass by easy stages to the question of fortunate days and months, color vibration, musical harmony. ”

“ Accordingly, “J” must be true to the purity of his life motives, for any discord in this direction will result in serious mental, if not physical suffering.
K, or 20. A “K” resembles “B,” except that its vibrations are much stronger. In fact, it is a letter of extremes—extremes in mental conditions, extremes of fortune, extremes of health, extremes of spirituality. Intensity of nature almost invariably controls a “K.” It knows no twilight. It recognizes no half-hearted measures. If it is not happy, it is miserable. If it is not good, it is evil. ”

“ To do this, of course, it is absolutely necessary that we should always think of ourselves by our new name, and it is important that its reality should be maintained with all the force that it is possible for the mind to exert. As long as we require its influence we must think of it as a real name, just as we now think of the name that was bestowed upon us by our parents. ”

“ If we feel that we must continue to use the old name in business or social affairs, it is possible for us to do this, but only when we are more than ordinarily persistent in impressing the reality of the new name upon the mental organism. ”

“ Like “A,” “J” is a designer, an architect, a planner, but upon a higher plane. Still, to be successful, “J” must direct, not obey, and for this the number has been given more than a proportionate share of executive ability. A “J” also stands for change—new thoughts, new things. Thus, under a harmonious Cycle of “J” important business changes may be made without hesitation. A “J” is generally honest, just, and benevolent, but he requires that others shall conform to his own ideals of integrity and righteousness. ”

“ There are no possible heights of attainment to which it cannot reach; no depths of iniquity to which it cannot descend. As the result, one who comes under the control of this letter cannot afford to offend against any law—either the law of man or the law of God. He must think pure thoughts. He must be just and honest in all his dealings with men, for, though of strong will, the penalties that will be certain to follow any violation of the law of love cannot be evaded. When under free rein, “K” indicates versatility, and capability in many fields of endeavor. ”

“ Even when in harmony it is both beneficent and maleficent, although, under such favorable conditions, soul-racking regret and munificent atonement follow all exhibitions of maleficence. Although a good number when in concord, it is apt to become a most dangerous one in discord, as many of its attractive qualities are easily reversed. When in harmony an “E” will probably be a social and entertaining person, although inclined to be more fond of dress and worldly things, than of the spiritual life. ”

“ What these opinions may be depends largely upon the harmony of vibrations. If the strength of the letter predominates, they are likely to be strongly tinged with materialism, and yet, as 2 is inclined to be secretive and introspective, it is generally hard to detect its true feelings and sentiments. A 2 is apt to be very sensitive, and, like all who live introspectively, intuitional. Even when in harmony it is no uncommon thing to find a 2 possessing a melancholy turn of mind, and this tendency usually grows stronger in sympathy with the strength of discordant vibrations. ”

“ Those who have derived the greatest degree of benefit from the use of the musical keynotes insist that they must be used, or played, every day, and that, if this law is not obeyed, the penalty will be felt in the complete loss of their health-giving vibrations. ”

“ In so small a volume, however, it would be folly to attempt so pretentious a task, especially in view of the fact that, for all present purposes, it Is sufficient that we should realize that the Science of Numbers has been known and credited since very early in the world’s history, and that, having been cherished with most tender solicitude through the turmoil and storms of the centuries, it has come to us with the signs of truth and authenticity indelibly fixed by the stamp of years. ”
