His name is Brian and, like many of us, he is seeking answers about his life. One recent Monday afternoon, he called Alison Baughman, of Akron, via her Internet radio show "Visible By Numbers" and asked for help.He told her his birthday is April 10, 1975. She did a few calculations and told him that he has had a difficult childhood, but that it has taught him compassion and empathy.Baughman indicated to Brian that he gives unconditional love to people who aren't always pleasant to him; that he is a humanitarian looking out for the interests of others, sometimes to his own disadvantage."Does that make sense to you Brian?" she asked him.He replied: "Yes, yes, totally."She also told him good things are in store for him in the coming years, including recognition and financial reward.He thanked her; and, judging from his tone of voice, he seemed relieved. Baughman's live show airs at 8 p.m. Mondays over BBS radio, at www.bbsradio.com, and attracts callers from all over the country. The Web radio station bills itself as the "No. 1 Worldwide Internet Talk Radio Network on the Planet."Using callers' names and/or dates of birth (both for a comprehensive reading), Baughman says she describes their character traits and their challenges, gives them spiritual advice and predicts what is in their futures. The type of numerology she uses, often referred to as Western numerology, was founded upon the teachings of Pythagoras, a 5th-century Greek mathematician, philosopher and mystic."It's a road map, so to speak," Baughman said in an interview earlier this spring at her home.The numerologist uses basic math to reduce numbers to one digit. Letters in names are given a number based where they are placed in the alphabet. The real work, however, is in the interpretation, a skill that Baughman said takes years to hone. But simply put, each number has a meaning. As an example, people in the 3, 6 or 9 categories tend to be very inspirational, creative and emotional, she said.
