Does it seem impossible to understand why others are Hso sure they are right when you know they are wrong? How can people be so opposite? That had me puzzled for years, and the only thing that ever helped me to understand these differences was the study of numerology. I have researched and pondered the subject for years because this science is deep and much can be understood only by meditation on symbols. As I researched I found answers to unusual phenomena that I had experienced and some I had heard about. I never expected to find an- swers to explain them, but I did; answers that are scientific and logical. I eventually found these answers only because I had begun having vivid dreams with numbers in them. I wondered what they meant. People began asking me if I knew what numbers meant. Why do they ask me? I wondered. Maybe I’m supposed to know. A friend gave me a quarterly list of events at the Philosophical Re- search Society in Los Angeles, and I saw there was going to be a seminar on numerology. I had to go. At that seminar I learned the basic meanings of numbers and how to analyze my own name. I was stunned. The vowels told me my innermost desires; the consonants, my personality. My whole birth name told me my talents and destiny, while my birth date told me what I’m supposed to do with those talents. This would have been invaluable information for me when I was deciding on a major in college. But what was most interesting was how true the information was. I set about analyzing the charts of my husband and children, and what I learned answered a lot of questions. I wished I had known these things about us years ago—we could have made some better decisions. What I learned was incredible. 13 The Secret Science of Numerology I read every book on numerology that was available and compared texts. They all agreed on the basic meanings of numbers and how they apply to the birth name and date. I studied every day. It was too interest- ing to stop. All these books were right on. I was lucky in the sense that I could further verify the accuracy of these books by doing charts for many people. In my professional life in the film industry, I worked with different people on different sets every day, and they were all eager to hear what their names had to say about them. All I did was tell them the positive and negative aspects of each num- ber according to the position in which it appeared in their charts. Some people told me that I must have been using psychic power. They said, “You know more about me than my family. You told me things about myself that nobody knows.” I missed on a point only a couple times, but when they said what it was, I could spot it immediately in another part of the chart. On those occasions I had neglected to scan the entire chart before making a statement.
