I have done alot of reading on numerology over the years. I have a few books on it. I also used to check out sunangel.com for info.
Glynis McCants has a great book "Glynis has your number"
She is a regular on with "James van Praagh"
Also a few written by "Dusty Bunker"
I am always adding up numbers to see if they correspond with my lifepath.
As for the other thing you mentioned i have never heard of it.
As the saying goes "you learn something new everyday"
Life is just an endless supply of truly wonderful information.
