Preface

Dear Reader, in this book you will find a useful tool forself-discovery. Numerology is an ancient and time-honored process by which much about your self may beuncovered.

Numerology may be employed for many diversepurposes. Here, it is used as a means for an individual tobecome more closely identified with his/her Soul Self andthereby grow into being an instrument for Soul Purpose.

SOUL HISTORY

Souls are eternal. They are rays of the Divine, or what some callSupreme Consciousness, or what others call God.

Souls, having emerged from the Divine, are pure expressions of theDivine. God, being Omniscient [all knowing, which is to say,Supreme Consciousness], Omnipresent [everywhere, which is tosay, in every atom, every molecule, every aspect of the manifestworld and the spirit worlds], Omnipotent, [all powerful, which is to

say the only support of all that is], so too are these qualities inherentat the core of every Soul.

Souls, however, emerge from and become individuations of the

Divine. And, as such, they move around and get involved in variousactivities, one among which is involvement with the manifested,earth plane of existence.

It is here, in the physical world, to which Souls have been attracted,where they lose their identification with the Divine. Here, Soulstend to become ego-bound. They become immersed in earthlypreoccupations, develop desires that spellbind their consciousness,that propel them into ever deeper emotional, psychologicalinvolvements with themselves and with other incarnated Souls,until, finally, they totally forget their Divine origin.

Ultimately, at some point in the eternal journey of the Soul, therecomes anawakening. Soul desires to return to its origin, to uncoverits true core Self. It is then that Soul comes into the physical realmwith a purpose of healing itself from the many scars and woundsand desires and obsessions that have developed over the eons offascination with life on earth. Soulmust needs now come to earthand heal itself, to grow back into its original wholeness so it canreturn to its Divine origin and merge once again with God.

This, then, is the Divine Drama.

Young Souls abound on the earth plane. These are not interested infinding God. Indeed, they are fully intent on total involvement withthe material life. They are the ones who hunger after the things ofthis world.

Old Souls are those among us on earth who hunger for God.

Their sense of purpose converges on healing, repairing,

purifying. Souls such as these, involve themselves in spiritual

practices, as a means of doing the work. They study

themselves to see what needs to be perfected.Only when we identify with Soul Purpose do we find ourselves

living a harmonious, joyous life.

Regardless of our external circumstances, whether we are financiallywell off or not, whether we enjoy a prestigious position in the worldor something less, whether we are in a good relationship with our

fellows or not -- regardless of these outward signs -- unless we areliving in accordance with our Souls desires and working toward

our Souls fulfillment, we will never really truly feel connected withour true potential.

I encourage you to read this book many times. Learn to make yourown numerology chart step by step. Dwell on each segment,studying your growing chart, meditating upon its significance untilintuitive insight blossoms and you then become increasingly awareof your Soul essence and its purpose for this life sojourn youordinarily call your life.

Deepen your practice by making charts for your friends and family.Eventually, in a fairly short time, you will become an expert reader.Your psychic faculty will blossom.

Thank you for purchasing this book, my humble contribution toour evolutionary process. It is an honor for me to be of service inthis manner.

Introduction

A Quick Overview

VIBRATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OF NUMBERS:

1.) Relates to the ego self, the individuality aspect, the

will, and willingness to explore.

2.) Relates to the dual nature and analytical aspect of

self, and/or qualities of balance and harmonyleading to inner peace.

3.) Relates to creative, expressive, imaginative, physical,verbal and artistic actions.

4.) Relates to foundational aspects [like four legs of table]stability, self-discipline, orderliness.

5.) Relates to action, versatility, courage to move forward,

energetic equation.

6.) Relates to caring, compassionate qualities, service, self-responsibility.

7.) Relates to wisdom, detachment, intellect, occultsciences, metaphysical activity, scientific activity,

spirituality.

8.) Relates to authority, power, executive ability,leadership.


7/47

7.

9.) Relates to altruism, tolerance, compassionate,humanitarian action, high spiritual development,

mystical union with Self.

Numerology, as here used, addresses issues of soulpurpose [soul desire], personality traits that serve the soulurge [or, ones personality traits may be in opposition tosoul desires, thus causing friction and struggle in the life.],

destiny of the entitys present incarnation, the lifeexpression in the later years of the sojourn [end goal], andthe energy expression which is determined by the date ofbirth, together with traits of temperament [how oneinteracts with the world], and finally challenges facedduring early years, and achievements [pinnacles] made inthe mature years.

Soul desire numbers are derived from examining thevowels of a given name.

Personality expression is derived from examining theconsonants.

Destiny experience looks at the combined numbers ofvowels and consonants.

End goal of life is derived from the Destiny number andthe Birth number.

Missing numbers [so-called Karmic numbers] addresswhat needs to be integrated into the life expression, eitherin current life sojourn, or the next, or sometime.

When adding up the numbers, all digits are combineduntil a single number remains.

Note: while 10 reduces to 1, the indication, when 10occurs, corresponds to the idea of Alpha/Omega, the endof one cycle and the beginning of another.

Final Note: there are three master numbers:11 = Self-Mastery22 = Master Teacher

1st Lesson:

Introduction to Self-UnderstandingTHE NATURE OF OUR ESSENCE

Quantum physics tells us that matter is in actuality adenser form of energy. Thus, what reveals itself to usthrough our senses as solid, is in actuality a frequency

vibration. The body-mind-soul organism, whom we knowas ourselves, expresses in the physical world through aunique frequency vibration. Each one of us has a personalsignature, as it were, which constitutes the essence of ourbeing.

Becoming more aware of our unique expression, offers us

the opportunity of aligning ourselves more harmoniouslywith that expression, thus bringing our true-life purposeinto focus.

We are all aware, to a lesser or greater degree, of howliving in this world is a learning process by which wegradually gain wisdom and understanding. The "School of

Hard Knocks" eventually knocks sense into our growthcurve.

Sooner or later, through hardship and struggle, the lifeforces compel us to get on track with our reason for beinghere. Sooner or later, we learn our most productive way oaccomplishing what we came here to do.

There are tools available, however, that we can make useof, which will guide us to awareness (clarity of purpose)

ith less stress, fewer "wrong turns." Numerology is one


10/47

10

such tool.

HOW IT WORKS

Pythagoras, the mystical mathematician, refined and builtupon earlier understandings regarding the quality of

vibration inherent in the nine numbers we ordinarily usesimply for counting things.

Each number, one through nine, carries a vibration that

has a certain meaning relating to the nature of theuniverse, and the nature of being in terms of the humanexpression. The sequence of the numbers follows aprogression akin to growth, i.e. the development of anindividual.

One [1] relates to the energy of outward expressing

personality, the beginning of a developing consciousness,the ego-self.

Two [2] relates to the energy of duality, of analyticalthinking; and as well to the balancing energy of analysisand synthesis, in other words, harmony.

Three [3] relates to the energy of creative activity, notjust solely artistic activity such as painting or writing orsome other art form, but also in the field of creativeinteraction with life in general and with individuals andgroups.

Four [4] relates to the energy of stability, like the four

legs of a table, thus providing a stable platform for furtheractions.

Five [5] relates to the energy of action, of active


11/47

11.

participation in whatever mode of movement towardsones fulfillment.

Six [6] relates to the energy of compassion, of the caringand empathetic feelings one may be capable of expressingtowards others as well as toward self.

Seven [7] relates to the energy of spirituality, of spiritual,scientific and intellectual investigation. Here the level of

ones consciousness has moved well beyond ordinarypersonality concerns and takes up an interest in personalspiritual development.

Eight [8] relates to the energy of leadership. On themundane level, this energy may be expressed in variousexternal forms of leadership, such as the head of a group,

organization, company or governmental body. On theinner mode, this energy may be seen as providing theindividual with self-mastery leadership on the path to Self-Realization and Oneness.

Nine [9] relates to the mystical energy that expresses asholeness. This energy expresses the creative force of the

number 3 in a magnified manner as 3 x 3, like a HolyTrinity as it were. In its outward form, it reveals anindividual that could be seen as a great humanitarian, abringer of wisdom to a group as well as to ones self.

All these number/energies can be seen as carrying cosmicpower into the manifest world. Each of us comes into the

orld on the wave of one of these energy/numbers. Theday we are born represents a particular moment in cosmicterms, a particular and precise placement of the individualand our planet in the energetic field of manifestation. And


12/47

12

thus, as in the science of Astrology, the individual has anenergy signature, so to speak. And this energy signaturerepresents the predominate manner in which an individual

ill be expressing during the life of the person.

This energy number is ascertained from ones birth date.The numbers that speak of the date of your birth, can bereduced to a single digit by adding the units until onenumber remains. This remaining, single number becomesthe birth number, the energy of expression for the life o

the individual.

Example: May 9, 1932 (my Birth date) reduced to a singledigit can be viewed first as: 5-9-1932, which becomes 5-9-15, then becomes 5-9-6, which resolves to 20, and then 2.

The Birth Number, then, is 2.

However, added another way, 5+9+1+9+3+2, the sumequals 11, which may or may not be reduced to 2.

The number 2 relates to ideas and understandings oharmony or duality, balance or disunity. Whereas thehigher vibration of 11 relates to a point of consciousnessdescribed as self-mastery.

A person with the birth energy of 2 will be expressingher/his creative style, mainly through addressing issues odualism [analytical thinking] and balance [intuitive,unifying thinking] seeking approaches to life exigenciesthrough a combination of the two, working always towardharmony, although possibly never achieving same.

Such an individual would tend be predominatelyintellectually oriented, and perhaps reveal a scholarlyinclination, and would certainly tend to exhibit a skeptical


13/47

13.

nature.

Other factors go into the mix, factors of personality andof soul desires, and more - of which more will be said insubsequent lessons.

Should the person decide to work within this kind ofenergy field [2] in a more conscious way, that person

ould be then expressing the 11 energy, thus striving

toward mastery of self, particularly through mentalactivity.

Two other higher vibration numbers are 22. The number22 refers to those beings destined to be great teachers omastery.

Since there are only nine numbers out of which weexpress our birth-given creative energy, one might assumethere are only nine human types running around on theplanet. But this is not the case; for it is in our names

here we find clues to our personality structures and oursoul purposes.

The art and science of numerology makes use of theletters in our names to pin point the subtleties of ourindividual vibration frequencies. Each letter of thealphabet is assigned a corresponding vibration number asfollows:


14/47

14

PLEASE NOTE When assigning numbers to the lettersin a name, if that person named is a special ending to thename, such as John Doe Jr. or John Doe III, then the full

spelling of the generational ending is to be applied. JohnDoe Junior, or John Doe Third.

By converting the letters to numbers, we can begin tobuild a picture of an individual's mind-body-spirit profile.

At this point, the Doubting Thomas in you might be

questioning how ones name can provide so-called cosmicinformation [that is information coming from the CosmicMind of All Knowing] regarding an individuals mind-body-spirit profile.

Whereas ones time of birth may seem less arbitrary, andthus understandable as something fated or destined, ones

name, usually given by parents, seems to be rathersomewhat arbitrary, or at least under the direct influenceof the parents rather than a formulation having comefrom some higher source, such as ones Soul.

Numerology responds to this kind of questioning inarious ways.

1. In most cases, parents generally consider it quite aserious matter when it comes to giving their childits name. They ponder deeply, listen to innerpromptings, their dreams. They will consult otherfamily members. Even when there is a desire toname the coming child after an older or deceased

family member, the parents take intoconsideration many subtle thoughts and feelings.Even if the name giving comes out of somespontaneous inclination, such as naming the child


15/47

15.

after a favorite singer or movie star, or even apresident of the country, or famous historical

figure, such promptings, when looked into deeply,usually indicate an amount of intuitive activityhappening within the psyche of the parent orparents. Therefore, it can be said that the namegiving activity strives to impart in the new life asense of its role in life or of its destiny.

2. In esoteric terms, it is said that the souls of theparents and the soul of the newborn, along withguides and teachers, have already formulated theirlife plans in the in-between stage, or lifedimension of their soul existences. Thus thechilds name along with the energy patterns thename represents has already been establishedbefore any of the souls involved have entered

their physical existences.3.And finally, one must consider the fact that a

name, when spoken, carries an energy vibration inits most subtle form. And this sound imparts asubtle, intuitively understood message. The child,from infancy on, hears this vibratory messageconstantly. The parents murmur the name over

and over. Eventually that energy pattern becomesimprinted into the childs sub-conscious mind.

The parents have chosen the name as aconsequence of deep intuitive urgings, no matterhow superficial or flippant that choice may seemon the surface of things. The soul of the child hasalready made agreements with the souls of theparents, along with the help of spirit guides andteachers. The child is prepared to receive thesubtle vibratory message that comes across when


16/47

16

hearing its name spoken.

And thus, the sub-conscious mind of the individual from

childhood on is developing a hidden sense of the cosmicmessage for its Life Purpose, its Lifes Goals - thereasons for its coming into the physical plane to expressand learn and grow in a certain and precise way for thebenefit of its Souls Growth and Healing.

In Lesson 2, we shall look at how the name of an

individual reveals the Plan.

Lesson:

Soul Purpose

EMBEDDED IN THE VOWELS: OUR SOULPURPOSE

THE NAME

At birth, our parents bestow upon us the magic of ourname, which carries the vibratory frequency out of which

we will express throughout our current life sojourn.

Although the process may seem arbitrary, in truth, the

effort made by those involved - parents, grandparents, andother interested relatives and friends - is a quite seriousmatter. Our parents, particularly, seek inspiration from

various levels of soul searching in order to 'come uponjust the 'right' name for the soul newly entering this planeof existence.

Down through the ages, it has always been considered themost important beginning of an individual's life. Thename...what to name the newborn. The name carriespower. The name reflects karma. The name spells thefuture.

Thus we see, many factors are involved in the naming othe new child. And even the soul that is about to comeinto the physical has played a role in this naming process.

Yes, all during the pregnancy, a subtle communication


18/47

18

takes place between future mother and future child.

Dreams and premonitions, quiet meditations,

introspective reflections - these are the vehicles ofcommunion between the two.

Names have external meanings, their significanceconnected to namesakes, historical figures, biblical orscriptural figures, family and tribal ancestors. There arespecial dictionaries that provide meanings to this aspect o

names.

Names contain, as well, internal or esoteric meaning. Thisis the realm of numerology, the vibratory aspect, which isembedded in the vowels and consonants.

THE VOWELS

As for the vowels, these sounds seem to float forth intothe world on the wave of breath. They come from adeeper level of the being, consisting more of spiritualquality, feeling and emotion giving shape to theexpression, which is of the soul.

Examining the vowels in ones name, then, may discoverones soul purpose. Refer to our first lesson fordetermining the number affiliation for the various vowels.

You will see that the letter A carries the vibrationalfrequency of the number 1; E carries 5; I carries 9; Ocarries 6; and U carries 3. In some instances, Y may beconsidered a vowel, but not in all cases. Subtleties such as

this will be treated in later articles. In any case, when Y isused as a vowel, it carries the frequency of 7.


19/47

19.

HOW TO INTERPRET THE NAME

Let us examine the name of an historical figure to arrive ata feeling for how the vowels may reveal soul purpose.We'll refer to Abraham Lincoln.

The first name, which was given by the parents, reachesback into biblical times for its exoteric significance. Inscriptural history, there was an Abraham, regarded almost

as an Adam, in other words, an early, perhaps the earliestfather of a long lineage.

And indeed, the inner meaning of the name reflects this'beginning' quality. Notice, all the vowels are A's. Three1's! The number 1, being the first number, already has

ithin it the idea of 'beginnings'. Number 1 also relates to

the concept of self and selfhood. The 'I' - and in this case,the Soul Self. These same numbers can express consonantenergy and are then interpreted differently.

In the second name, the family name, we find two vowels,a 9 and a 6. The number 6 relates to the concept of caring,of compassion. It is the vibratory frequency of the heart.

Whereas the number 9 relates to the concept ohumanitarian expression, indeed although an extension othe heart expression, a more universal, larger scaleprojection is involved. 9 energy also reflects a high level ospiritual attainment, a completion of spiritual work withselfhood, being as it is the last number of the series onethrough nine. 9 is the culmination of the mystical three

times three.

Now that we have a notion regarding the inner content othe name, that is, the quality of the individual numbers, we


20/47

20

can add them together to determine the final numberwhich speaks more directly of the soul purpose.

We have the components. Now we examine theconstellation. So, add the numbers together and reduce toa single digit and the result, not too surprising, comes to 9.

Abraham Lincoln's soul purpose for his historical lifefocused on the humanitarian expression. That he isconsidered as having been a great benefactor to mankind,

would indicate that he fulfilled the goals of his Soul Self.

At this point it would be worthwhile to begin making yourown chart. Write down on a separate piece of paper yourbirth date, then reduce the numbers to a single digit.Beneath that write down your name and then determine

what the vowel numbers are. Keep in mind the vowel

numbers for each of your names, then the sum of thesenumbers. The individual names will indicate subtle aspectsof the total number energy.

Now, set your worksheet aside for later computations aswe move on to the issue of consonants.

CONSONANTS

Consonants relate more to external expression, the egoand personality dynamic. The consonant sound burstsforth into the world from our lips with an energy thatreflects this dynamic that carries with it an intellectualquality. Lesson three will address the consonant equation.


21/47

21.

3rd Lesson:

Personality Profile

CONSONANTS INFLUENCE HOW PERSONALITYEXPRESSES

In the last lesson, we saw how vowels provide insight into thenature of a Soul's urging for a particular expression in a given life.

We see that the Soul, as an outpouring of Divine Source, entersinto involvement with the realm of matter, becomes identified asan entity separated from Source, undergoes numerous life sojourns,

acquiring fascinations, wounds of sadness, pain and sorrow, darkhabits - until, at last, desire for liberation, desire to return 'home'becomes the paramount need. Thus, each Soul, with its goal turnedtoward Source, now enters physical expression for purposes ofgrowth and healing. The fact that you are now reading this material,indicates that the Soul who you are has begun the return journeyto its Source.

Psychology speaks of the human being as developing distinctpersonality traits, each one of us a unique being, the developingprocess subject to numerous subtle, sometimes not so subtle,influences from parents, extended family and society in general, as

ell as our own mental promptings. And generally, there is whatmight be considered the social personality, the mask a person

generates with which to interface with his world, wishing to appearto others in a certain way, attempting thus to keep more private theactual personality traits that define the behaviors.


22/47

22

These traits, however, are not solely the consequence of externalforces. We come into the world with certain tendencies, preciseinclinations that determine how we accept (take in) and respond to

external stimuli.

Numerological study provides insight to these 'inborn' qualities. Welook to the consonants for this purpose. The Soul has lived manylife times encountering experiences that have affected it in bothpositive and negative ways. The positive aspects are carried overinto the new physical sojourn and can be regarded as talents. How

often does one encounter individuals who display an extraordinarytalent in a particular field of expression? Where does such an abilitycome from, one asks?

As for the negative experiences of a previous life or lives that haveaffected the Soul, one might say, the Soul has become injured orsomehow impaired and thus has developed certain personality

aspects, inborn qualities, that may need to undergo alterations so asto render the Soul capable of beginning its healing process and itsjourney back to Source. Such has been referred to as Karma inother traditions.

Again, let us take the name Abraham Lincoln for an example ofhow consonants reveal the Soul endowed personality tendency.

Four consonants are embedded in the first name: B(2); R(9); H(8);M(4). And five consonants in the second name: two L's(3); two N's(5) and one C(3).

Thus, the numbers are for Abraham: 2,9,8,4, which combine to 5.

The numbers for Lincoln are 3,3,3,5,5, which combine to 1.

These numbers comprise the different 'strands' that collectively


23/47

23.

become braided into a single number, in this case, the number 6.

Number 6, then, becomes the predominant 'theme' of thepersonality substratum. In other words, we are talking about thepersonality profile which will interface with the world andconsequently undergo subtle modifications - which will then beexperienced by others as 'Mr. Abraham Lincoln,' 'PresidentLincoln,' 'good ole Abe,' etc.

The elements that comprise Abe Lincoln's 6 may be different fromthose of another's name. Not all 6's are alike!

Examining the several numbers, we see that 2 relates to issues ofduality and/or balance (harmony). The 9 (as we saw in the previouslesson) is the 'humanitarian' number. The 8 relates to issues ofleadership. The 4, stability. The 3 is the number of creative

expression. And 5, the action number.

Summing up, we can say that Abraham Lincoln's personality profile[sub-stratum tendency] reveals a strong creative approach to lifesituations and its problems, a positive willingness for implementingaction, a definite disposition toward balance and stability,leadership qualities, and an inclination toward a humane manner of

problem solving.

And all these 'embedded' numbers add up to the 'braided' number,6 - which is the number of compassion. And considering that hisSoul urge number was 9, we can easily observe how a personality 6can be very useful.

Knowing what we do of Lincoln's role in history and the extent ofhis achievements, we can see that his numerology profile ratheraccurately portrays his life course. We can say that his Soul


24/47

24

endowed potentiality succeeded in its purpose.

4th Lesson:

The Life DestinySoul Purpose (vowels) combined with Personality Profile

(consonants) offer insight into the Life Destiny of theindividual. The life Destiny Number is also known as theIntegrated Number. Unless the ego-self, embedded withinthe inherent traits of personality, finds itself willing to

fulfill the soul urge, an integration of the two numbersfails, and the life's destiny may be thwarted.

Those who have strong ego orientations that clash withtheir inner, soul desires, often regard their lives as difficult,full of struggle, with inner conflict spilling out into their

orld. Their personality traits are at odds with their inner

urgings, and they fail to clearly 'hear' the inner voice.

In such cases, looking at oneself through the lens ofnumerology can benefit one's understanding and further asmoother development toward harmony with self and

with environment.

In the case of Abraham Lincoln, we see that the SoulPurpose Number, 9, is well supported by the PersonalityNumber, 6, which, when combined, results in 15, thenreduced to a single digit of 6. Thus, the soul'shumanitarian urge, 9, and its vehicle for compassionateexpression in the life sojourn, 6, are well suited for eachother, and the Life's Destiny, 6, is fulfilled.

Had Lincoln's Soul Purpose Number been 8, for example,the combination of 8 and 6 may have easily produced aconflicted life. The energy of 8 strives to fulfill leadership


26/47

26

goals. The 8, then, could have easily over-ridden thepersonality trait of 6, particularly since an 8 figures in thename Abraham from the letter 'H'.

And since the 8 and 6 combine to make a Life DestinyNumber of 14, reduced to 5, which is the action number,Lincoln's role in history might have been decidedlydifferent. As Commander-In-Chief of the Union Forces,he often by necessity was required to resort to some ratherdraconian methods in dealing with the war situation.

With the Life Destiny Number, 5, the impetus towardaction, in support of fulfilling the soul purpose, 8, oleadership, this 8 and 6 combination could have readilycaused Lincoln to over-ride his otherwise compassionatenature, and he could easily have drifted into dictatorialoutpourings.

But, in fact, Lincoln's Soul Purpose was not 8. It was 9,and thus, in his Second Inaugural Address, he wascompletely within character when he urged "malice towardnone...charity for all" in the coming peace.

In part four, we will see how other number factors give

shape to the overall plan for a particular life sojourn.

We will observe the nature of the Challenges, derived bythe numbers in the birth date, how they come to the life inthe early years, how they mold the character of thatunfolding life.

And in the Pinnacles, likewise derived from the birth datenumbers, we will see hat the successes are that will comein the mature years, should all go well.


27/47

27.

We will see in the Planes of Temperament, derived fromthe quantitative analysis of the letters in a subject's name,

the mental, perceptual (intuitive), emotional and sense(data gathering) tools that can aide or can inhibit (whennot brought into consideration) an individual's career onour planet's three-dimensional field of action.


28/47

28

5th Lesson:

ChallengesTHE CHALLENGES ARE DERIVED FROM THEBIRTH DATE.

In the case of challenges, the numbers are subtracted:month minus day (higher number from lower), day minus

year, then these products are subtracted one from theother, and finally the month minus the year, diagramed ina descending pyramid.

Using Lincoln's birth date, it should look like this:

February 12, 1809 = 2 - 3 - 9 [each segment reduced to asingle digit]

The 1st Challenge is 1

The 2nd Challenge is 6


29/47

29.

The 3rd Challenge is 5

The 4th

Challenge is 7

Note: Always subtract the lower number from the higher.

The CHALLENGES come, generally, in the earlysegments of the person's life. In the example we are using,Lincoln's first challenge would have come during his first

twelve years. His second challenge would have emergedand been dealt with, successfully or unsuccessfully, bytime he was in his early twenties. The third challenge

ould occupy him during his early thirties. And finally thefourth challenge would come in the early forties.

These age designations are understood to be approximate.

Generally, the Challenges usually occupy the first twenty-five years of a persons life, more or less. One must applythe intuitive faculty when judging at what ages theChallenges will be addressed.

In the case of Lincoln, my intuitive sense tells me that hismaturation pace was somewhat slower than in a more

ordinary life.

These Challenges point to the character traits an individualmust grapple with in order to grow into a maturity thatsatisfies the soul's purpose for the life sojourn.

When dealt with in a positive, successful manner, the

person's life flourishes. If the individual fails in harnessingthe energies these Challenges represent, that person's lifetends toward excessive struggle and possibly hardship.


30/47

30

Lincoln's early Challenge, 1, focuses on developing astrong self identity, a sharp understanding of hiscapacities, a willingness to learn early to stand on his own

two feet. Self-reliance and forthrightness are the positiveresults of meeting the challenge successfully and thusstrengthening the will.

Had his Challenge been 2, for instance, a differentdynamic would have been in force. His early development

ould have focused on coming to grips with a tendency

toward vacillation and ambiguity over issues resultingfrom an excessive dualistic outlook. The ability tomaintain a balanced view, a harmonious and harmonizingattitude, would have been the Challenge to accomplish.

Lincoln's second Challenge seems quite in keeping withthe developmental process his character faced. Possibly a

tendency to generate too strong a self-possessivenessmight have led to something like an overweening pride, anarrogance needing amelioration from too strong a 1energy might have occurred had there not been the 6Challenge to deal with.

Thus the Challenge of 6, the number pointing to energies

relating to compassion, idealism, a feeling-connection withoneself so as to be able to empathize with others. This is adifficult challenge to harness, for one's sympathetictendency might easily descend into overloaded sensitivityand sentimentalism.

We can see how the energy of the 1 and that of the 6 can

be brought into a balanced relationship the more so whenone is not faced with having to grapple with questions ofthe 2 energy, which Lincoln never had to deal with.Evidently, there was an innate character trait, a strong 2


31/47

31.

ability, well developed perhaps from a previous lifesojourn that aided him in the process of harmonizing the

energies represented by the 1 and the 6.

The third Challenge, in Lincoln's case 5, points to atendency toward inertia. The 5 is the number of action, omeeting the world with aggressiveness and determination.

This, evidently, was an issue for Lincoln, somethingperhaps hidden from public view, or even a trait of which

his family and close associates may not have been aware.A private struggle perhaps, that, met with that 1determination already developed in his earlier life,evidently served him in dealing with the action Challengeof the 5. He was able to successfully spring into action.

Thus we can see, how the young Lincoln honed his

character, readying himself for his life role on the world'sstage.

His final Challenge 7, points to an inner developmentalactivity. The energy of 7 relates to the spiritual side ofone's existence. That one may have intellectual doubtsregarding the nature of the spirit-being whom we really

are, is nothing new in human history. For someindividuals, this spiritual issue is relatively mild, or evennon-existent. For others, it can be a burning question.

The Challenge of 7, then, deals with one's need toquestion the nature and validity of the spiritual aspects ofone's life. It may be a question regarding the importance

of religion in the person's life. On the other hand, it maybe a deeper issue, a doubtfulness regarding one's mysticalleanings, or perhaps a questioning of the inner, psychicexperiences. Or a sensitivity to the question of one's soul's

destiny.

We can see how this challenge for Lincoln must have been

central to his external situation, where early in his publiccareer, he made decisions and took on an unequivocalstand regarding the institution of slavery, to mention butone among many moral issues.

From 1 to 6 to 5 to 7, is an interesting progression toanalyze. We can readily observe how each challenge

impinges and effects the next, until a growing patternappears that offers a picture of the development of aperson's character.

In the next lesson, we shall look at the fruits of thesecharacter accomplishments, this labor of self-development. We shall examine the Pinnacles.

6th Lesson:

Pinnacles

We have seen how the Challenges come to an individual

early in the life, providing the catalysts necessary for theformation of character.

Now, we shall examine how the Pinnacles in theindividual's chart reveal what triumphs will have been, orhave already been attained.

These peak accomplishments arrive in the latter years ofthe person's life. They are clear reflections of the effortsmade on behalf of soul purposes, pointing as well to theEnd Goal of the life sojourn, of which we will speak in alater lesson.

Like the Challenge numbers, the Pinnacle numbers are

derived from the Birth date numbers. But instead of beingsubtracted, the numbers are added.

1st Pinnacle: month and day are combined. 2nd Pinnacle:day and year are combined. 3rd Pinnacle: the products ofthese two additions are combined. 4th Pinnacle: monthand year are combined.

Another feature regarding Pinnacles, relates to theapproximate year they occur in the person's life. The 1stPinnacle comes at age 36 minus the Birth date number. In


34/47

34

Lincoln's case, Birth date number 5, the 1st Pinnacleould come at age 31, each successive Pinnacle occurrin

about nine years later.

And now to examine Lincoln's Pinnacles.

Birth Date: February 12, 1809 >> 2 - 3 - 9 [each segmentreduced to a single digit]

1st Pinnacle, age 31: 5 * 2nd Pinnacle, age 40: 3

3rd Pinnacle, age 49: 8 * 4th Pinnacle, age 58: 11

To calculate the age when the 1st Pinnacle occurs, add to

age 26 the number of the persons Birth Date number. InLincolns case, his Birth Date number is 5, whichindicates that his 1st Pinnacle occurs at age 31. Forsucceeding Pinnacles, add 9 to the previous Pinnacle age.

Thus, his 2nd Pinnacle occurs at age 40, and so on.

Interesting that Lincoln's first Pinnacle would be a 5, the

number of action, in this context, action that results inlevels of success, in accomplishing goals.

Studying his early life, there is no real indication that


35/47

35.

Lincoln had no settled direction for himself. But rightalong the period bracketing this 5th Pinnacle year, roughly

between 1836 and 1842, the pattern of his life took ondefinite shape, and he succeeded in manyaccomplishments.

Becoming a lawyer, getting elected to State office, winningthe hand of his wife, after a courtship that at timesseemed to be going nowhere causing the young Lincoln

to go into a state of depression.

The second Pinnacle, 3, points to accomplishment of acreative sort, which by age 40 (1849), was revealing of hispolitical acumen. He had already served two years in theHouse of Representatives, and was beginning to develophis never faltering approach to the issue of slavery. That

these were times needing politicians with statesman-shipqualities, goes without saying. The creative principle, asopposed to a pragmatic attitude, is what seemed to shapeLincoln's political career.

The third Pinnacle, 8 - the number of leadership, pointsto the obvious accomplishment to which Lincoln

attained. His almost super-human ability to lead thenation at one of it's most perilous times, in not the mostperilous, need not be long dwelled upon. To me, it isremarkable that this Pinnacle can be observed as havingbeen pre-established from the time of his birth,

Finally, the fourth Pinnacle, 11. This is a master number.

There are three such numbers in this system. 11, 22. The11 relates to issues of self-mastery. 22's play the importantrole in life of being the "master teachers."


36/47

36

Lincoln obviously proved his 11 qualities, although hisuntimely death occurred about two years prior to theactual date of the Pinnacle. And it is this fact that causes

me to wonder and imagine what greater accomplishmentsin the area of mastery over self might have been revealedby this most remarkable human being.

In the next lesson we shall focus more precisely on thisquestion when we examine the End Goal number, whichis derived from the combination of the Birth Date

number with the Life Destiny number.


37/47

37.

7th Lesson:

Karmic Past End Goals

With this lesson, the basics of numerology will becompleted. Here, we deal with issues related to one's

Karmic Past and its influence on the present life.

We talk about the End Goals, the final guiding light inthe life sojourn, which serves as a kind of beacon toward

hich our matured energies aim.

And, lastly, the Planes of Temperament, the faculties one

is endowed with, which constitute the basic tools oneuses for discerning the environment, and which aid in thefulfillment of the life's purpose.

The Karmic numbers are those that do not appear in thesubjects name. There may be only one Karmic number.

There may be several. These Karmic numbers represent

the energies that the Soul entity has to date not deal with,that it is say, has thus far in the current cycles of lives asarious personalities has failed to integrate into the

totality of its essence. The Soul, coming into a lifesojourn usually is intent on working the missing numberor numbers into some level of integration so as tocomplete a cycle of lives in the pathway to full Soul

Awakening.

Again, using Abraham Lincolns chart as an example, wesee that there is one missing [Karmic] number, #7. This


38/47

38

is the number of spirituality, idealism, inwardness andmetaphysical interest.

Interesting to note that in Lincoln's chart, the number 7does not show itself, neither in the letters of his name[thus the Karmic number] nor in the configurations thatappear as Soul Purpose, Personality Profile, Challenges orPinnacles, or End Goal.

Such a situation would indicate, Lincoln failed to address

the Karmic issue.

And yet, that his Soul Purpose number was 9, thehumanitarian number, which is also a mystical number[3X3]; and that his End Goal number was 11, the samenumber as his final Pinnacle, which is also a powerfulmystical number, being the number of Self-Mastery--all

these factors would suggest that Lincoln, indeed, in someinternal, quiet way, brought into his life experience anappreciation of his spiritual qualities.

Lincoln appears to have lived almost entirely anexternalized life, being a politician, a benefactor to hisfellow man, fully engaged in the world of action, the

physical side of life.

Had his life force number [Birth Date Number] been 7rather than 5 [the action number], his life expressionmight have been that of a clergyman or a contemplative,or a metaphysician: a Merlin type.

Nowhere does 7 seem to play much of a role in his life.However, there is one indication that it did.

When we look at his Integrated [Destiny] Number, 6 [the


39/47

39.

number of compassion], we see embedded in the 6, thenumber 8 [leadership, coming from Abraham] and the

number 7 [spirituality, coming from Lincoln].

Lincoln's End Goal number, 11, and his last Pinnaclenumber, also 11, point to a future state when he wouldhave been enjoying his twilight years, had he not been cutoff by assassination, exploring and refining this mysticalside of his existence.

The question remains open, however. This is a mystery,the answer to which we will never know, for his life wascut off long before he might have naturally concluded hislife.

Planes of Temperament

The final numerological feature to examine: the Planes ofTemperament.

Here we find in the system coming out of the letters of aname, a similarity to other systems and psychologicalprofiles, such as the Meiers-Briggs test and the Jungian

formulation of personality types.

In numerology, the temperaments are divided into fourtypes or qualities: mental, physical, emotional andintuitive. Each quality is characterized by certainnumbers.

The mental quality is formed out of numbers 1 and 8.The physical, numbers 4 and 5. The emotional, numbers2,3 and 6. And, finally, the intuitive, numbers 7 and 9.


40/47

40

Each individual makes use of these four qualities indifferent ways, depending upon the frequency of thesenumbers in a given name.

With Lincoln, we see that the letters in his name,converted into numbers, reveal his mental frequency tobe 4. His physical frequency, 3. His emotional frequency5. And his intuitive frequency, 2.

These Planes of Temperament numbers do not refer to

capacity in terms of abilities, measured on some kind ofscale, such as an IQ test.

The Planes of Temperament numbers relate to themanner and style in which an individual receives externalinformation: how one relates to the outside world.

When faced with a situation, we use our capacities togauge and understand what it is we are confronted by.And it is our Planes of Temperaments that determinehow we take in and process the information we accept[what and how we perceive].

Thus we see that Lincoln's tendency was to first have an

emotional response to his external experience. Then heould take that first 'hit' and determine what his mentalattitude, his intellectual perspective, would have to sayabout the matter. Next, he would re-check hisimpressions with the aid of his physical capacity, which isto say his senses.

The way he would experience life, would go somethinglike this: He'd first feel a reaction. Then he'd examine thisreaction with his intellect. Then test his reaction with hissenses [primary data gathering apparatus]. And finally, his


41/47

41.

intuitive understanding of the situation would be broughtinto the mix, he would determine whether his inner sense

of the rightness of things agreed with his more outwardoriented realizations.

That his Planes of Temperament numbers are fairly closetogether, no extremes such as a mental 8 and anemotional 2, for example, wherein the individual wouldbe more like a cold fish, always intellectualizing, never

very much in touch with the emotions, Lincoln appearsto have been fairly well balanced and thus well suited forthe role he played in our nation's history.

We can safely state that altogether, Abraham Lincoln'snumerology chart matches and describes quite elegantlythe manner of his life course.

Lesson:Using Your Chart for Growth

Now that you have learned how to construct yourNumerology Chart, the real work, and fun, begins.

Some individuals refer to their Numerology Charts forexternal purposes. They may be bent upon getting apicture of what their future might have in store for them.Or, they may desire to know what professions they arebest suited for.

Some folks like to verify through a "reading" of their

charts, how well they deal with relationship issues. Othersmight wonder why their relationships fail, or why theythemselves seem to miss out in finding the "right"significant other.

To be sure, these and many other reasons for studyingone's chart are quite valid. I've known individuals to use

Numerology for divination purposes regarding theirbusiness dealings, political objectives, gambling schemes,even what kind of clothing to wear.

And it is possible to derive somewhat sufficient answersto such questions.

But for myself, I use Numerology for Spiritual Growthpurposes. In the previous lessons, the spiritual emphasishas been the main focus.


43/47

43.

To reach into the core of ourselves, where our Soul Self isto be found, requires turning our attention away from

external matters, and going within. It is the meditativeprocess. One can use one's Numerology Chart as a kind omap for the inward journey to Self.

The chart can serve as a kind of platform from which toobserve oneself. An approach that leads one to a level oconsciousness called "witnessing" by some, "detachment"

by others.

My personal approach is to take one aspect of my chart ata time and dwell on its meaning for me. I do this from analtered state of consciousness. This state of mind is not soesoteric as it may sound. One simply gets into a meditativemood, relaxing the body and focusing the mind inward, or

away from external influences.

This simple shift of awareness allows one to contemplatea particular feature of one's chart with the kind ofdetachment, or non-involvement, or objectivity [however

ay one wishes to put it] that stimulates one's creativeimagination to intuit new levels of meaning about oneself.

This is a technique similar to the Jungian concept.

Try studying your chart in this manner and discover whatthoughts surface for you that are new to you concerningyourself.

We all know ourselves quite well. We travel through our

interior landscape innumerous times every day. But, alas,we usually take the same pathways over and over. Wejourney through all the very familiar neighborhoods of ourinner world, our memories, our notions - all so familiar.


44/47

44

One's Numerology Chart can serve as a kind ofintervention tool. Using it as an elevated platform, so tospeak, from which to view one's life, as in "witnessing"

oneself, opens the way to discovering your mythologicaland cosmic role in the scheme of things.


45/47

9th Lesson:

Your Cosmic-Mythological Role

Eventually, one comes to the realization that the life oneis living has deeper significance than what appears by

merely looking on the surface.

One grows up, learns a way of making a living, getsmarried, has children, becomes involved in civic andsocial activities, in other words, plays a role, becomes afeature on the canvas of life.

And somehow, in all of that, patterns can be discerned,patterns that seem to have a deeper, or a larger meaning -a meaning beyond what is revealed through observing,simply, the deeds, the roles, the accomplishments aparticular person has exhibited; beyond what is generallyunderstood as a person's character, personality,and traits.

There is an essence to the life expression thatseems to point to a whole other level ofmeaning or significance. A meaning that seemsto be from another dimension of existence, aplace normally hidden from our senses.

This is the dimension I call the mythological arena ofone's life. We live on this planet. We live in the physical

orld. But also, simultaneously, we live in a cosmic worldin which exist other dimensions, such as the astral and the


46/47

46

causal world. Dimensions inhabited by spirit brings,incarnate and disincarnate.

For we are spirit beings as well as human beings. We areSouls manifesting ourselves into the physical dimensionof existence. And at this level of our existence we haveother roles to play in addition to those, which we take onin the three-dimensional expression. Besides performingas mother, father, teacher, fireman, etc. in this worldly life,

e are playing an additional role that is operative both in

the totality of existence, the other realms, as well as thisrealm.

Through studying our numerology charts with this largerperspective in mind, we can discern our mythological role,and thus come to realize how we bring that aspect ofourselves into the physical expression, perhaps thereby

discovering more subtle reasons for what we do.

Some of us can see that we have roles that can bedescribed with titles such as 'care giver' or 'messenger' or'soul doctor' - sometimes an individual is 'seen' as an'angel in disguise'.

Meditate upon your chart with these ideas in mind andsee how you have been 'living' this aspect of your lifeexpression alongside the more mundane actions you havebeen engaged in. See how the work you do, and/or themanner in which you relate to others, reflects this 'hidden'side of your nature. With more insight to this level ofyour being, you provide yourself with a greater sense of

your 'purpose' and thus an enhancement of the gifts youbring to the world. Your deepest self, you as Soul needingto express and learn, grow and become whole may thenfully blossom.
