Why, exactly, am I here? What is my purpose in this life? What kinds of lessons do I need to learn? And who am I?
If such questions sometimes flash through your mind, (and I'm sure they do), you'll be pleased to learn about the Lifepath number, which can provide you with many useful and suggestive answers.
From a numerological standpoint, your Lifepath number is calculated by adding the month, day and year of your birth. Even though you might have the same Lifepath number as your best buddy, your lifepaths will differ from each other. Why is this? Because the differences in the month, day and year of your birth generate crucially important influences that make of your life path a one-of-a-kind, historically unique whole that has never occurred before and will never be seen again.
In numerology, the Lifepath number is regarded as your guardian for life that tells you
In other words, the Lifepath number is a 'helper' number that not only tells you exactly what your goal consists of but also gives you valuable insights into how you can achieve it! Do you believe in reincarnation or an afterlife? They may well exist, but your Lifepath number focuses on THIS life - YOUR LIFE NOW! And all things considered, your life now is a pretty amazing phenomenon - don't you think?
As you read about your LIFEPATH, remember that the word "lifepath" is more than just a word - you could say it's your whole life in a lexical nutshell, for your life is indeed a path, in all senses of the word: Webster's defines it as "a trodden way," "a track specially constructed for a particular use" and "a way of life, conduct or thought." Think of it, trodden - already traveled - because it's ordained by your numerology; specially constructed for your particular use, your particular, individual path that is unlike any other; and the whole comprising the way you live, act, think - and feel. In other words, it's yours alone and uniquely, but you're not alone on it! - not at all! Others have been there before you, are with you on it now, in the sense that you share a common last name with all the members of your family (as well as your ancestors) and that there are others walking this earth now, not family members or relatives, whose numerological makeup practically guarantees successful compatibility with you, and only you.
Your Lifepath is also there for you to take advantage of, to strive to remain on, and above all to revel and delight in. Most importantly, the path itself guides you, providing you stay on it and read the signs - and the signs, as I mentioned to you before, are such a vital part of every Lifepath. The signs begin with your reaction to this text, and at the same time the signs, as they manifest themselves on your life path give you - through the ancient science of numerology - your first clear indication as to what they really say. They've always been there, but encrypted, and you needed (as does everyone) the numerological "code" in order to understand them.
Your Lifepath, is also a potential (where you have yet to go), a now-ness (where you are now, what philosophers call "immanence"), and a distance covered (where you've already been). Once you realize and ACCEPT that your path consists of all these elements, your purpose for being here will become miraculously clearer and a lot of the uncertainty you feel - even if it's only intermittent or in the background - will dissipate. And I promise you, you'll never again feel like a square peg in a round hole, because you'll have become the beneficiary of the supreme advantage that numerological knowledge of your Lifepath bequeaths to you: you'll read the signs on your path accurately, and those signs will, like a good roadmap, tell you exactly where you are, where you've been, where you're going, and where you need to go.
Unfortunately, the latter two - where you've been and where you're going - don't always form a seamless whole, and perhaps if you'd had been exposed to numerological knowledge as a child no gaps would have developed in your "holistic" path, and your existence would be that much easier now. But life is an imperfectly organized affair full of gaps and stumbles, and you have in fact been missing this knowledge all along. What a difference it makes in your life when you know how to read the numerological signs, when you've been given a key that is basic to your very being and that stems from the most elemental facts about you - your name and birthdate.
