THE BOOK OF NUMBER

I worked through the original course, and it changed my life. There is nothing I can recommend more highly than this book.

An Extraordinary Insight into an Ancient Truth

Exploring the Power of Number to Open the Heart

Understanding the Currents that Flow Beneath our consciousness

Ancient Cultures knew that the “invisible” world of Spirit was alive and part of our everyday existence. By tapping into this energy, a person could understand and know the Will of the Gods. Numerology was practiced as a way to reconnect a person with their natural path.

Michael Wallace (Raven) had been interested in arcane arts and ancient history since he was a child. At age 2 he vividly recalls how every day he would sit at a puddle he had made in the backyard of his family home, and gaze into the water. There he would travel out and away, and visit teachers who would speak to him about science, history and the nature of man.

When in boarding school, Michael saw an Aboriginal student burning some eucalyptus leaves in a back corner of the 50 acre school he went to. He watched, and inwardly knew this child was doing what he did as a child. So when the boy, a rare full blood aboriginal sent to the school on a scholarship, had finished, he asked where he had travelled. The child was surprised that a white boy would know this, and he said “I went home to see my parents.”

Then the child told him some of the things that had happened in the deep bush (outback) where he had been raised, including how elders had healed him of a broken leg overnight by “singing” him. Though from completely different backgrounds, Michael realised that here was a kindred spirit, and that others experienced some of the invisible realities that he did.

At 14, when other children were reading comics, he was reading the Vedas and Siddhartha. Where other kids were listening to rock and roll, Michael was teaching himself how to play bluegrass. He was never one to run with the pack. By 17 he had already experienced the reality of alternative lives on inner planes, and was able to consciously “dream walk”. That is, he was aware and awake in his experience, and able to direct his dreams.

During this period, he met many teachers, and discovered the ancient path of the Orphic Mysteries that was the cradle for Pythagoras and the Golden Age of Greece. During this period, he met, and remains good friends with to this day, one of the master musicians of the present age  in Sydney, Australia. Gerry Bull introduced him to the concept of Music as Number, and gave him his first book on Numerology. (Marc Grunner)

It was leading a duck to water. Michael studied and practised this new science for a number of years, and was amazed at how accurate it was. But it had simply been another interest until at age 21 he sat in a cafe’ with some friends, doing their numbers. At this point, a very arrogant German pushed in and said “Do you people really believe this BS?”

On impulse, Michael invited him to sit down and he would do his numbers. Name and Date of Birth was all he needed. The fellow laughed, saying “I have had FOUR names since I was born, and I am still only 22” So Michael took the four names, and one by one went through them. He described the likely time of each name change, and the likely effect that the man would have experienced as a result.

Apparently the reading went on for four hours, and by the time he had finished the cafe’ where they sat was full of people, listening. The entire time the German youth sat there stoney-faced, not saying a word. Finally Michael finished, and looked up to ask how he did.

At that point, the cynicism fell away, and the German youth started shaking. “I cannot believe this. I cannot see how anyone could have known every piece of my life in such complete detail. Even the dates when my name was changed. It is simply not possible. It is NOT POSSIBLE. HOW did you do this? What is this trick?”

Spontaneous applause rang out from the watchers, and Michael simply said, “You gave me all this information. I simply read your numbers. It is like a book I read from, a Book of Number that tells me the story of you.” What he didn’t say was how surprised he was that his simple adding up of what each combination meant worked out to be so accurate. The real convert to Numerology that day was himself!

From this point, Michael made it a point to read everything he could on the subject, but apart from Marc Grunner and Robyn Stein (both Australians) almost everything he read was not core to the Pythagorean Tradition. Plus there were enormous gaps, specifically in the principle of Trines and how three numbers combined to form specific patterns. Just like Music, where a chord is created from three notes, Michael saw how in a Number Chart recurring patterns of three created the “road map” into which a reading was cast.

Speaking to an very old Rosicrucian Master, and showing him what he did, the old man said “Who gave you this information?” Michael simply said he worked out, and that it seemed logical. Then the old man pulled out an 17th century book, written in Latin, and in this book were the very patterns and combinations of Number he had been using. They were attributed as coming from the School of Crotona, where Pythagoras had taught. Michael cannot remember the title of the book, nor did he understand the Latin, but the patterns were perfectly clear. It was the first major, external reference to what he internally knew to be correct.

Many years and thousands of charts later, Michael came back to Australia after travelling the world. Here something curious occurred. For months as he moved through the deserts of North America, a talisman of a single Raven had followed him. Finally he met a Hopi Elder, and asked him what this meant. “A storm is coming.” The old man said.

True to form, a storm arrived out of the blue that night, but Michael knew the true change was happening within. He realised he had to write down what he knew, and arriving back in Australia he started writing the correspondence course “The Magic of Number”. This is why he took the pen name of Raven for authoring the course. At this point, magic started to happen. A long lost temple to Pythagoras was discovered in Rome, one preserved exactly as it had been in the 5th century. On the walls were all the patterns and symbols he had been working with, and which he saw in the old Latin book.

Michael wrote over three million words. Then he realised this was way too much for any reader, so it was culled it back to a 12 month course which had three sections: The Client Psychology, the actual area of study for that month, and interpretations for the Aspects that came from this area of study. In all, a million words. The course ran for quite a few years, and was considered by far the best course in Numerology available in the world.

But while there had been interest in publishing from various sources, the general requirement was for a product that was much easier to digest. The point of the course was to create practitioners of an Ancient Art, not to create entertainment. It was not the right time to release a diluted version for public consumption. While still making the course available over the web, Michael moved on to other areas of Pythagorean teaching, specifically healing with music (As determined by the number combinations in a person’s chart) and divination with dice.

Finally, some 40 years after he started this journey, Michael had recompiled the Magic of Numbers into a digestible, easy to follow format. It is much simplified, though still very detailed, and now available to people who simply have an interest in the subject.

The Book of Number is a truly remarkable publication. It is a text book to study, a history book that will fascinate, and also a course that, should you choose to follow the path, will lead a person into a useful and productive career.

The Client Psychology and the Interpretations has been separated into individual books. The Book of Number shows you how to find Numerical Aspects in a person’s name and date of birth. The Book of Interpretations gives explanations of what these mean. The Client Psychology gives insight into the motivations and forces at work inside a person, and is necessary reading if you would become a practitioner.
