Your Rational Thought Number and
your Planes of Expression.
Often ignored by numerologists, I consider this an important aspect of the chart.
Your Rational Thought number reveals what can probably best be described as your way of
thinking.
Are you a practical, methodical thinker, or a dreamer? Do you frequently allow your imagination
to color your perception? Are you unconventional and original in the face of a practical
problem, or do you stick to proven methods?
This is the kind of information that is available from your Rational Thought number.
How to find your Rational Thought number.
Your Rational Thought number is found by adding the sum of the value of all the letters
in your first name to your day of birth. For example, let's assume that Thomas was born
the twenty-fifth day of the month.
The name Thomas adds to 22 (a Master Number)
He was born the 25th. Thomas Rational Thought number is 22 + 25 = 47, which reduces to
11.
Each of us experiences life on four different levels: with our physical body; our mental
faculty; our emotional make-up; and our intuition. Each of these areas has a specific
means of perceiving information. The physical body is capable of touch, taste, pleasure,
and pain. It provides us with a sense of the physical world. The mental body, like the
emotional and intuitive natures, perceives the invisible worlds. Our minds deal with the
world of thought.
The heart, of course, is preoccupied exclusively with the world of emotion. Our feelings
teach us many things about ourselves and about others. Finally, we have the capacity for
direct contact with the higher realms by way of intuition. Intuitive insight comes in
a flash. It is not rational -- that is the world of the Mental Plane -- but comes as if
it were placed at the doorstep our minds. Intuition, therefore, bypasses all efforts save
that of perception.
These four faculties exist in all of us. But each of us depends more on one or two of
them for the bulk of our knowledge. Some of us are possessed by our senses, while others
live almost exclusively in their hearts, or in their minds. Numerology indicates how we
as individuals function on each plane.
The letters of the alphabet are divided into four categories: Physical, Mental, Emotional,
and Intuitive.
The proportion of each category in your name gives a good indication of which
Planes of Expression are strongest in you, and which ones are weaker.
The sum (reduced to a single digit or Master number) of the numbers found on each
plane reveals how you deal with your experiences on that plane. These Planes
of Expression can greatly help you to understand your talents and abilities.
In addition, the letters of the alphabet are also considered to be either creative, vacillating
(wavering), or grounded (practical).
NOTE: Some numerologists base their calculations of the Planes of Expression on the number
values of the letters. This is incorrect. Letters have their own archetypal personalities
and, when calculating the Planes of Expression, should be considered on their own merit.
For example, the E, the N, and the W all have the value of 5. However, the letters E and
W are both considered physical letters. While the N is seen as a mental letter.
The chart below shows the status of he letters in the alphabet according to these categories:
| |
Creative |
Vacillating |
Grounded |
Physical |
E |
W |
D M |
Mental |
A |
H J N P |
G L |
Emotional |
I O R Z |
B S T X |
|
Intuitive |
K |
F Q U Y |
C V |
Food for thought:
Notice that not a single letter in the alphabet is both grounded and emotional.
All vowels are creative with the exception of the U, which is vacillating.
The Planes of Expression chart is one of the more complex systems in numerology; however,
a good understanding of the Planes of Expression rewards you with considerable insight.
