 § Can be used for any language in the world (as far
as it has an alphabet).
§ Makes sense: the sequence of letters in the
alphabet isn’t random, it was formed historically.

Pythagorean § Alphabet is a vibrational matrix, or pattern, of a

Numerology particular language and culture, at a certain stage
of their development.
§ This approach can be traced back to the 2nd
century AD (it was then called ”Pythagorean
calculus”).

 § Proposes a correspondence between the English
alphabet and “the ancient Chaldean and Hebrew
alphabet”.
§ Chaldeans were Semitic people, so it’s likely that
their alphabet came to us as the Hebrew alphabet.

Chaldean § Hebrew alphabet has only 22 letters, while

English has 26.
Numerology § Number 9 isn’t used because it’s sacred.
§ Proponents of Chaldean Numerology claim that
the numerical correspondences of the letters they
use reflect the true vibrations of the
corresponding sounds.
I am very far from arguing that one of the approaches to
numerology is right and the other is wrong, or even that
one of them is more correct. Numerology studies very
complex phenomena, like human lives, and these
phenomena, in my opinion, are akin to a hologram. You
can look at the hologram from different angles, and as a
result read different information from it. For this reason, I
avoid limited, black and white judgments when it comes
to the methods and approaches of numerology. There are
many different numerologies in the world, and each of
them has its merits.
 § Sounds of some letters are very different, how can they
represent the same vibration?

§ C in “cat” and “brace”.

My Doubts § T and H are pronounced differently when they are next

to each other than when they are on their own.

§ English isn’t a phonetic language.“Leicester”,“though”,

“through”.
