A new era of thought in science and metaphysics subscribes to the idea that all numbers carry significant messages to humankind.  Indeed, many innovative thinkers believe we can narrow down the existence of all life to a numerical binary code (meaning, life can be explained in ones and zeros).

This article speaks to a more personal level of number messages.  Many of us are experiencing an interesting numerical phenomenon.  We are seeing specific numbers consistently appearing in our daily lives.  These same numbers keep popping up so frequently, it's uncanny, eerie and sometimes drives us a little nutty.

So what does it mean when the same numbers keep surfacing in our awareness?  Many believe there is a message indwelling these reoccurring number sequences.  If this is the case, how do we decrypt number message? 

Here are some ideas:

Breaking Numbers Down for Meaning:
If you keep seeing the same number sequence, you can reduce the group of numbers to a single numeral and derive your message that way.  For example, if you are consistently seeing the number 8254, reduce it like so: 8+2+5+3=19 . Now reduce 18 like so: 1+8=9.  Once you have reduced your sequence of numbers to a single digit, you can research the meaning of this single digit from various sources.   Michele Knight has a fantastic list of individual number meanings here.

Seeing Number Meaning in Sections:
If you see a number series separated, we can treat this message like reading a sentence with the separation interpreted as a space or a comma.  For example, if you keep seeing your number sequence like 3:20 or £3.20 or 03/20 these separation might lead you to learn the meaning of number 11 and number 30 separately and then combine the two message together for a unified message.  Using this technique we will have two individual messages and we can put them together as we join sentences to get a whole meaning.

Reading Numbers Individually and Making a Narrative:
Another way to find messages in a series of numbers recurring in your life is to look at each number meaning individually and begin putting these meanings together to create a story.  For example, if you continually see the number 3812, look up the number meanings  for each of these individually.  In this example, we could play with the meanings to derive a narrative that goes like this: "you are experiencing creativity (3) that comes most easily when you allow it to flow in natural rhythms and cycles of time (8). This experience is a new beginning for you (1) and will lead to new directions, balance and/or partnerships (2)."

These are just a few ideas about how to interpret number message from a sequence of numbers that consistently pop up for you.

Above all, manipulate these number sequences in ways that feel right to you.  What I mean by this is, play with your recurring numbers.  Mix them up, read them individually or together, draw them, dance or drum in rhythmical-time with your number sequences, look at them visually to derive meaning.  Numbers are infinitely generous in their potential and wisdom.  It just takes an open mind, and a willingness to learn from their presence to crack their code!
