Ye baat aayi kahan se

Yahan do alag cheezein aapas me mila di jati hain. Akshron ko ank dena vakai purana hai: Wikipedia ka numerology lekh kehta hai ki gematria 'dates back to antiquity', aur Aristotle ne likha tha ki Pythagorean parampara isopsephy karti thi. Lekin aaj wali angrezi-alphabet wali vyavastha, jisme har ank ke saath vyaktitva ke arth jude hain, purani nahi hai. Mrs L. Dow Balliett (1 March 1847 - 11 December 1929) ko 'the founder of the modern style of numerology' kaha jata hai; unki kitabein 1904 se 1917 tak aayin, aur ek aur textbook unki mrityu ke baad 1930 me chhapi. 1904 wali kitab ka naam hi tha 'a System of Numbers as Taught by Pythagoras' - jabki Pythagoras ne khud kuch likha hi nahi. Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy kehta hai ki 'the evidence suggests that Pythagoras did not write any books', ki unki mrityu ke baad do sau saal tak kisi source ne unki kisi rachna ka hawala nahi diya, aur jo ank-sambandhi darshan baad me unke naam pe chadha, wo asal me Plato ki Academy ka tha. Sabse vistrit bache hue vivaran lagbhag 800 saal baad ke hain. Khud shabd 'numerology' angrezi me lagbhag 1907 se pehle darj nahi hai. Master numbers ke baare me imaandaar sthiti ye hai: neeche di gayi sources me inka koi zikr hi nahi hai - na Wikipedia ke numerology lekh me, na Pythagoras entry me, aur koi prachin granth inhe darj nahi karta. 33 ko teesra master ank maanna sirf adhunik lokpriya numerology me milta hai; ye sabse pehle kisne aur kab kiya, iska praman is soochi ki kisi source me nahi hai. Do dave jo pehle yahan likhe the - ki Balliett ke school me sirf 11 aur 22 bina tode rakhe jate the, aur ki Juno Jordan ke 'California Institute of Numerical Research' ne charts standardise kiye - verify nahi ho paye, isliye hata diye gaye. Jordan ke baare me jo praman se kaha ja sakta hai wo kam hai: 'Dr. Juno Jordan' Juno Belle Kapp ka kalam-naam tha, jo New Thought ki vakta thin aur numerology par lokpriya kitabein likhti thin.

Two different things get run together here. Assigning numeric values to letters is genuinely old: the Wikipedia survey of numerology notes that gematria 'dates back to antiquity' and that Aristotle recorded the Pythagorean tradition practising isopsephy. The modern English-alphabet system, with personality meanings attached to each number, is not old. Mrs L. Dow Balliett (1 March 1847 - 11 December 1929) is described as the founder of the modern style of numerology; her books ran from 1904 to 1917, with a further textbook published posthumously in 1930. She sold the 1904 volume as 'a System of Numbers as Taught by Pythagoras', but Pythagoras left no writings: the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy states that 'the evidence suggests that Pythagoras did not write any books', that no source in the first two hundred years after his death quotes a work by him, and that the number metaphysics later credited to him belongs to Plato's Academy rather than to Pythagoras himself. The most detailed surviving accounts date from roughly 800 years after his death. The word 'numerology' itself was not recorded in English before about 1907. On master numbers the honest position is that the sources cited here do not document them at all: neither the Wikipedia numerology survey nor the Pythagoras entry mentions 11, 22 or 33 as a category, and no ancient text is known to. Treating 33 as a third, 'Master Teacher' number appears only in modern popular numerology; exactly who introduced it, and when, is not established by any source on this list. Two claims previously made here - that Balliett's own school kept only 11 and 22 unreduced, and that Juno Jordan's California Institute of Numerical Research standardised the charts - could not be verified and have been removed. What can be said of Jordan is smaller: 'Dr. Juno Jordan' was the pen name of Juno Belle Kapp, a New Thought speaker who wrote popular books on numerology.
