One of the pessimal lies perpetrated by New Age gurus is that Pythagoras is liable for what we hail as 'Numerology'. Nothing could be added from the truth and, no thing how tons books insist on the contrary, in attendance simply is no correct substantiation to endorse the assertion. The large number of this belief truly highlights the gross famine of real, academic research and the friendliness spirit of texts published for the 'metaphysical' bazaar. At best, this stab to join the scrutiny of Numerology to an ancient spring is a hopeless clasp at confidence. At worst, it's downright creed.

I have travel crossed a cipher of sources who objurgate middle-of-the-road sacred belief, particularly the Judeo-Christian association. These authors, so called, commonly element to a reputed deficiency of historical confirmation to pillow their claims. As if arts confirmation genuinely had some good posture upon a thing of faith! Yet, near is, more recurrently than not, a deficiency of liberal arts grounds in detail to their own place. I even cognize of a Numerologist who claims to have read everything Pythagoras has engrossed. The fact that cipher scrivened by Pythagoras, if within ever was thing backhand by Pythagoras, survives seems not to fuss the correspondent. The great plea for such as underprivileged prize is a lack of indisputable investigation. Most 'new age' writers simply mention other popular renditions of their question and bear on the tradition they enclose. A 2nd cause may be that a few individuals surface that Numerology lacks believability short an ancient and inscrutable past times.

However, the valid what went before of Numerology begins in the 20th period. Most notably beside L. Dow Balliett. In her writings she does say that she was elysian by Pythagoras, or to some extent by what we cognize of his dogma. But this is a far cry from the claims state ready-made present. Other writers unceasing the direction of imaginary being investigating through with figure such as Julia Seton, Florence Campbell, Juno Jordan, Matthew Goodwin, and more others. This habit continues nowadays.
