Numerology for Healing: Your Personal Numbers as the Key to a Healthier Life
In today’s high tech society, numbers are everywhere. For example, computers receive commands based on numerical patterns. If numbers are so powerful, why not use numerology to attain a healthy life?
Michael Brill has worked with numerology since 1985, offering his knowledge to schools, businesses, the government, the aerospace industry and NASA. Brill’s book Numerology for Healing: Your Personal Numbers as the Key to a Healthier Life offers a powerful system that he developed, combining numerology, psychology, and quantum physics with concepts of reincarnation and gematria, which is the substitution of a numeric value to a word or phrase according to the Hebrew alphabet.
Even if you are not a math lover, Brill’s numerology system is really easy to work with. By using your name and birthdate, you can discover the potential causes of your health conditions. This useful book contains details of more than 200 health conditions and their symptoms. Each ailment is organized alphabetically not just for convenience, but because Brill theorizes that there is a correlation between the letters that an ailment begins with and its cause. For example, in general, illnesses that start with the letter “A” like (acne or alcoholism) stem from issues with self-esteem. Brill advises readers to “explore the direct relationship between your personal numbers—especially numeric challenges—and the illnesses you have contracted, or created.”

The Great Digitization and the Quest to Know Everything
How many times a day do you search on the Internet rather than in a book in your quest for knowledge? There is no doubt that technology provides instantaneous answers to our questions in a fast paced world. But will there be room for books and libraries in our future, or will digitization render them obsolete?
The Great Digitization and the Quest to Know Everything, by Lucien X. Polastron, explores the good and the bad of our digitized world. Polastron has done extensive work on how fast information that is freely delivered to the public’s computer screens can certainly be appealing. At the same time, Polastron investigates the moral consequences of digitization. One of the main issues he discusses is the quality and authenticity of information. Digitized information can easily be altered and subsequently sent to thousands of people, and in so doing, the original author and the validity of the writing can be negatively impacted. Digitization makes information more reachable to the masses; however, Polastron points out that information is not knowledge.
Digitization is having an impact on every part of the world. Polastron’s work inspires human beings to realize how digitization is creating a revolution of information that is arguably more widespread than the one set off by Gutenberg’s printing press. It is up to us to create the future and protect the legitimacy of the information available at our fingertips.
