The Spiritual Meaning of Numbers, Part 1
June 17th, 2008Numbers are an integral part of our lives. We use numbers to specify quantity and measurements, and to perform a wide variety of calculations. Social security numbers identify people, and phone numbers allow us to contact each other. Items we purchase are distinguished by serial and model numbers. Some people believe numbers have other meanings as well, such as “lucky” number seven, and the bad luck associated with the number 13.
One source of information for determining the spiritual meaning of numbers is numerology, which is an esoteric art that studies the power and meaning of numbers and how they relate to people and objects. The Bible and organized religions give us other perspectives on the spiritual meaning of numbers, based on the teachings of the particular religion.
The spiritual meaning of numbers has to do with energetic vibration. All things, including numbers, have particular vibrational frequencies within the Universal or Divine force, and this is what gives numbers their spiritual power.
The Universe sometimes sends us messages by bringing particular numbers into our awareness on a recurring basis. As with any type of symbolism, interpretation of the meaning of these messages is largely up to the person receiving the message, and there are different theories as to the correct spiritual meaning of numbers. Following are some of the more common meanings attributed to numbers. When interpreting the spiritual meaning of numbers for yourself, use the meanings that resonate for you.
Number One: The Sun

- New beginnings and purity

Because the Number One has to do with creation, one of the messages it has for you is to be careful to manage your thoughts so that you are consciously manifesting the reality you want. It may also indicate that it’s time for a new venture.
