About The Book

Using numerology to reveal behavior patterns in order to work through them

• Shows how to find anyone’s personal challenges and greatest strengths

• Presents simple numeric exercises that use the first vowel and first consonant of a name and the birth month and day

• Reveals how this method of numerology can be applied by managers, educators, health professionals, sales people, and parents

Numbers and letters are the blueprints of our lives. By studying the patterns they create--whether it’s a name, an address, or a date--we can learn more about ourselves, others, and how to best interact with those around us.

Providing simple numeric exercises that use only the first vowel and first consonant of a person’s name and their birth month and day, Michael Brill shows how to identify anyone’s reactive and proactive behavior patterns--along with their underlying causes--to prevent and resolve interpersonal issues as well as recognize and change our own negative personal tendencies. Combining numerology with psychology, he explains the connection between the first name and behavior at work, the middle name and social-emotional patterns in relationships, and the last name and family dynamics. Illustrating how this information can be applied by managers, educators, health professionals, sales people, and parents, he reveals how to find anyone’s personal challenges and greatest strengths through their Achievement Number as well as how to use this number for a more accurate understanding of an individual’s behavior patterns. Offering extensive examples, interpretations, and exercises, he reveals how recognizing these facets of our behavior is the first step to working through our negative patterns and effecting personal transformation.

Excerpt

Chapter 4

Determining Name Challenges


The formulas given in this chapter will enable you to identify a person’s basic behavior patterns in any setting--professionally, socially, with family, and in relationships--in less than 60 seconds, knowing only their name!

Each part of an individual’s name pertains to different aspects of life.

The first name provides the basis for an instant analysis of general challenges faced by an individual or a business in their workday behavior patterns.

An individual’s middle name reveals information that will aid the understanding of emotional patterns.

The surname, or last name (the person’s name at birth, not a married name), can be used to understand birth family characteristics and dynamics. (However, in the case of adoption, the adopted surname should be used.)

Two different methods are presented here: the 1st Vowel/1st Consonant Challenge (V/CC) and an interpretation of the numeric equivalent of all the letters of a given name.

Deriving and Interpreting the Numbers of Full Names


The numeric energy of every letter in a name can be added together to provide insights about an individual. Names of businesses or corporations, groups, countries, or pets can also be analyzed.

Letter to Number Conversion
In order to convert a name to a number, you need to use the classical conversion chart shown below.

Letter to Number Conversion Chart
A = 1
B = 2
C = 3
D = 4
E = 5
F = 6
G = 7
H = 8
I = 9
J = 1
K = 2
L = 3
M = 4
N = 5
O = 6
P = 7
Q = 8
R = 9
S = 1
T = 2
U = 3
V = 4
W = 5
X = 6
Y = 7
Z = 8

The Math

When you add the numeric total of all the letters in a word or series of words, you will usually get a multidigit number. The numbers are always reduced to a single digit and written with both the single-digit and the double-digit number, as the individual numbers that make up a two- or three-digit number identify underlying energies.

Example

A first name of S A M U E L
1 + 1 + 4 + 3 + 5 + 3 = 17; 1 + 7 = 8; 17/8

If the first name is Samuel, the name total is 8; if you want to look a little deeper, look at the attributes for the 1 and 7 as well.

Once the numbers of a name have been determined, they can then be interpreted using the following lists of attributes. The single-digit total provides the basis for the fundamental interpretation; however, if you want to look a little deeper, look at the attributes for the numbers of the double-digit sum as well.
