The man was pretty agitated on the line. "I'm so confused I'm afraid to even walk out my front door!" Yep, and here it comes for me. Steam. If there is anything that truly burns me up, it's when I hear about numerologists (and others) telling people that any number is a "bad" number or that a number is "bad" for them. And this poor man had been given a full negative dose of mis-conceptions and mis-perceptions of numerology and its function in his life.

My karmic numerology approach is different from the way a majority of numerologists look at numbers. But if there is anything that I can give the world right now, it would be to dispel the nasty myth that any vibration can be "bad" for you, or for anyone else.

Like many, I get all kinds of questions about numbers: social security numbers, phone numbers, clock numbers, driver's license numbers, apartment and house numbers, and the list goes on. "I'm starting to worry that this apartment is bad for me!" "If I get this kind of car, will it be more likely to cause me problems?" "My work phone number is this - does that mean I won't be able to advance?" "My married name is this - does this mean this marriage is wrong for me?" "Help! I don't want to make a wrong decision!" Yes, there have been many questions, and yet many of them come from a negative point of view. I don't know where these ideas of "bad" numbers got started, but I'm here to tell ya that they are wrong. Blessedly wrong.

Each number, 1-9, carries a unique vibration. It takes all nine numbers to help complete a whole. In fact Pythagoras stated that all was complete in 10 (a full cycle). Each number is perfect within itself, carrying out its specific "mission" so to speak. Without every number though, there is no complete picture - there is no whole. It takes the whole for the Universe to function. The balance is in the whole.

Numbers themselves do not contain negative, evil, or dark energy. Numbers simply each contain unique energy connected to the Divine. It is how we react to these energies and vibrations that can be negative or positive. Not the energy of the numbers themselves. And it doesn't matter what number combinations you put together. No number or vibration is ever "bad" for another. But they do each have their own separate "path."

Every number contains/provides a type of energetic talent, gift or tool, however you view it. You can use these tools in purity and gain positive results. Or you can abuse the energies and gain negative results. You can flow with your vibrations and experience fulfillment and joy or you can resist them and break.

As there are two sides to a coin, there are negative and positive reactions or tendencies (these would be *yours*) associated with each type of energy or vibration. A very good analogy is to say that the way we react to every number reflects our gifts and our traps. A yin and yang, or combination of which, to choose from. If you choose to see negative reactions to numbers, you will manifest exactly that and fall into your traps. But it's not the numbers that are being negative. Numbers simply are the Divine Energy they are. We tend to react to specific energies in typical patterns, which of ourselves, can be negative or positive. And we have the power to choose to react outside the typical pattern as well. But it is WE who have that power. We can equally choose to recognize an energy for the purity and gift that it is, and flow with it. An orange tree does not typically produce apples. However, even if you do prefer apples, you may find an attribute of oranges that works to your advantage and blesses you.

Having a particular number is NOT going to endanger you, harm you or "curse" you in any way. Though your own thoughts and reactions can. The numbers you have are your gifts. And all numbers together provide a balance. You probably wouldn't really desire to avoid any particular numbers. The fact is, understanding the true nature of numbers around you can actually be used to your advantage. Just understand what the purpose of that number is, without trying to make it into something else. Three is not meant to be seven. It has its own perfect purpose to fulfill. If you want to manifest more three energy in your life, and you live in a seven house, just understand that the house is not likely to support lots of three energy real well. Why? Because seven is not the same as three. You might get happier results if you manifest more three energy somewhere else, or make the decision to move to a different house. If so, does this mean that the house could be "bad" for you? No. It just may not fulfill the purpose or need you have in mind. If you don't really care though, then recognize the gift of the energy present and use it to your advantage. The fact that the house contains seven energy and you desire three energy does not make the house "wrong" for you. It simply is what it is. Then you make the choice to either use that energy to your advantage, or not.

As it ties in with your own personal numbers, sometimes it feels easier to people to live in a town or home that shares the same vibrations as they do. It's also helpful to align such vibrations with energy and goals.

However, it can be just as advantageous to live somewhere that contains different energies from your own. Numerologically, we generally strive to become more balanced and aligned with the numerological whole in the karmic long run. Not too heavy in one type of energy or another. However, many people are not "there" yet. They prefer to stick with their comfort zones. Unfortunately, they may not realize that an overabundance of a particular type of energy, even if comfortable, may not actually make things "easier" and can be exhausting work too. Does that make it wrong? No. Again, peacefully recognize your power of choice at work. The responsibility lies with you, not the numbers. Their vibrations are simply there to serve you. It's your job to use that energy to create and balance your life.

Essentially, this is much of the conversation the man on the phone and I had. Happily, by the end of the call, not only did he seem relieved about his safety, but he also gained a more holistic and balanced understanding of the special vibrations he carries. The very vibrations which he had been led to believe were actually "bad" for him.

As you can see, it really is all perspective. So the next time you are wondering about your numbers and whether they're right for you, why not instead identify what energies are working around you and analyze how you can be aligned with them and use them to your own advantage? Even if just simply to understand.
