One of the bottom lies perpetrated by New Age gurus is that Pythagoras is chargeable for what we telephony 'Numerology'. Nothing could be further from the evidence and, no business how oodles books take a firm stand on the contrary, location simply is no exact authentication to utilize the allege. The predominance of this guess genuinely highlights the stark deficit of real, bookish investigation and the friendliness nature of texts published for the 'metaphysical' open market. At best, this stab to intertwine the be taught of Numerology to an ancient rootage is a despairing grip at belief. At worst, it's out-and-out creed.
I have locomote decussate a amount of sources who objurgate common religious belief, markedly the Judeo-Christian group. These authors, so called, often prickle to a reputed removal of humanities grounds to long pillow their claims. As if humanities information genuinely had more than a few bearing upon a business of faith! Yet, near is, more oft than not, a lack of historical documentation in item to their own placement. I even cognize of a Numerologist who claims to have publication everything Pythagoras has graphical. The reality that naught holographic by Pythagoras, if in attendance of all time was anything longhand by Pythagoras, survives seems not to hassle the magazine columnist. The leading object for such indigent prize is a deficiency of concrete research. Most 'new age' writers simply mention new popular renditions of their subject matter and perpetuate the mythology they encompass. A 2d pretext may be that whichever general public consciousness that Numerology lacks believability short an past and inexplicable past.
However, the actual past of Numerology begins in the 20th time period. Most prominently next to L. Dow Balliett. In her religious writing she does say that she was moved by Pythagoras, or to some extent by what we cognise of his dogma. But this is a far cry from the claims self made today. Other writers perpetual the direction of qualities investigating done amount such as as Julia Seton, Florence Campbell, Juno Jordan, Matthew Goodwin, and lots others. This mental object continues present.
