An Earthly Journey

…Discovering your path of original intention

    Ancient teachings tell us that we venture to Earth many times to evolve our soul in a ceaseless effort for spiritual perfection. Each time we undertake an earthly journey, we choose our experiences to provide opportunities for personal growth and advancement on our personal path to enlightenment. It is on Earth that we learn to manifest our heart’s desire into physical form. Each time we follow our beliefs and allow our preferences to guide our actions we come closer to creative perfection.

    Pythagoras, the father of mathematics, developed the science of Numerology in the 6th century BC. Numerology is in fact, the Science of Vibration. All things on the physical plane have a unique vibration just like all humans have unique fingerprints and no two snowflakes are the same. It is the same with each ‘thing’ in the physical realm. Each has a unique vibration according to its type.

    For example, a diamond and a ruby are both precious stones, but each has qualities and characteristics that make it unique according to the type of precious stone it is. A person would never mistake one for the other. Further, within each stone are facets that make it unique from each other stone of its type. It is the same with all things. Although they may appear the same, they are all different and each has a unique vibration.

    Numerology provides a method to determine a thing’s vibration. Of special interest to most of us, is our own personal vibration. For as we vibrate, so we attract. The law of attraction and the law of vibration are the same; "That which is like unto itself is drawn." Just as each stone or other thing has its vibration, we too, as human beings emanate a unique, personal vibration.

    The vibrations in your name and birth date blend to create a unique vibration that is distinctly you. The key to this vibration unlocks your personal power of attraction and provides you with the insights necessary to allow into your experience all that you desire. Your name defines your destiny. It is your purpose for this earthly journey and describes the qualities you came to experience and create in your daily life. Your birth date defines your path of life and indicates the nature of your natural talents and abilities. Your Life Path determines the nature of your experiences and these characteristics and qualities will reveal themselves in the people you meet, the places you go, and the activities in which you participate throughout your lifetime.

    Numerology deciphers the meaning of the letters in your names at birth and the nature of the path you will walk according to your date of birth. The characteristics of your life purpose, your desires and the foundation upon which you view your world are contained in your name at birth. Your date of birth reveals your natural talents and abilities, the nature of your life experiences, what you came to accomplish in the world, and the challenges you face on the road to success.

    You chose the nature of the lessons you wished to learn and the accomplishments you desired to achieve before you entered the Earth plane. You planned all the details of your adventure and stored them carefully in your birth name and the date you chose to begin your Earth experience. When you were still in spiritual form, you had a choice to remain as spirit or to return to the physical realm. You made the choice. The intent belongs solely to you, the individual.

    Now, imagine you are pure spirit, a divine spark of spiritual energy, not yet in physical form. You take thought and choose to enter the Earth plane. You know that by taking physical form you become the creator, able to manifest all your desires into physical reality, for that is the nature of the earth experience. However, before you depart from the spiritual realm, it is necessary to design a plan for your earthly experience.

    To start your journey, you decide on the conditions and situations you wish to experience. You carefully design an itinerary of activities and events you desire to accomplish so that you will enjoy a successful trip. Much like planning a vacation…you decide the best destination to obtain the experience you desire, the activities you wish to participate in, the things you need take with you to ensure a successful vacation and you make a reservation in your name for a specific date.

    It is the same when planning an earthly journey. You create an itinerary that contains all the details you planned for your earth experience.

    • You choose a destination that will provide the overall circumstances or conditions you wish to experience, including everything that will happen to you. This is much like choosing The Bahamas or Switzerland for your vacation destination because you desire to experience that environment.
    • You plan activities for the feeling of pleasure and joy you wish to experience. Similar to taking a ride on a Merry-Go-Round or climbing Mount Everest, for the feeling you would experience.
    • You determine the skills and abilities you will need to ensure you are prepared for any opportunity that may arise during your experience.
    • You select the date of departure, which determines the timing of the events you will experience.
    • You make a reservation in your name and all the arrangements are complete for your adventure.

    Now, imagine you have taken physical form. You have experienced your birthday and are now in the presence of your family and the environment in which you chose to grow. You begin your journey with a high vibration and clear intent of your life purpose. You begin to learn and grow and observe the world around you.

    Your first observations are of your family. Your parents, siblings, and those around you in your early years provide you with training so you may go out into the world and accomplish your desired intention for this journey. Each experience provides an opportunity to raise or lower your personal vibration, based on how you feel about the situation. The manner in which you respond to the situations you encounter, and how you perceive and interpret your family conditions and environment, reflect in your character vibration.

    Of the 4 billion bits of information we receive everyday, we are only aware of about 2,000 and those have to do with our environment, time, and our body. Those bits of information that rise to the surface of your consciousness indicate the nature of what you perceive and respond to in your individual world, the world of your thoughts.

    The observer of all that you experience as individual is your EGO, your personality. That aspect of yourself that filters what you notice in your day-to-day affairs. This filter at its most basic level compares that which you experience to that which you know, or what you have experienced in the past. This aspect of self determines what you choose to believe as true.

    Beliefs, or guiding principles, determine what we choose to think is true about our environment and ourselves. We look out into the world and observe what is taking place in our experience. Based on our beliefs we accept certain aspects of the experience as ‘true.’ Of those things we believe are ‘true,’ we then decide how we feel about them.

    The consonants in your name indicate the guiding principles you have acquired through experience, in this and previous lives, and are the foundation upon which you build your current expression. Your consonants are your guides for purposeful expression. They are your personal code of ethics upon which you perceive and respond to your current condition.

    Your preferences are those things that you desire to be aware of in your experience. For example, you may prefer to experience a life of adventure or one of pleasure. Each would make what you observe in your experience different. As the adventurer, you would have an eye for that which is new, different, and exciting. As the pleasure seeker, you would look for the joy and passion in each experience.

    Your specific preferences in how you desire to experience the world animate your guiding principles or founding beliefs and are the motivator for the actions that you take. Your preferences determine those things you like and do not like about the vast variety you perceive as you experience life.

    Personal preferences provide you with joy or disappointment, depending on whether or not your guiding principles are satisfied with what you are experiencing. The wide variety of contrast that exists in your world will offer you an experience to match the vibration of what you are doing, thinking, or speaking at any specific time. You can experience the same condition on different days and feel differently about it on each occasion.

    For example, a rainy day can bring joy or disappointment, depending on how your personal preferences are being met at the moment. You may feel grateful that the rain offers you the time to read your favorite book or you may feel disappointed because it ruined your picnic plans.

    The vowels in your name indicate your personal preferences in life. They indicate how you desire your experiences to unfold. When your experience satisfies your personal preferences, you feel good and naturally attract happiness and abundance into your experience. When you perceive that life is not unfolding in harmony with your personal preferences, you feel bad and attract experiences that make you feel fear, disappointment, and despair. In each instance, your emotions and feelings act as a guide from your higher self, your soul self, indicating that what you are doing, saying, or thinking is either on or off track from your true, life purpose.

    Your personal expression is a reflection of your core beliefs (consonants) and your personal preferences (vowels). The qualities associated to your expression number describe your ultimate level of consciousness for this Earth experience. Your expression, also known as your destiny number, determines the overall circumstances or conditions you experience in life, including everything that happens to you. Whatever you are thinking, doing, or saying is your current level of consciousness and therefore becomes your current reality. As you sow, so shall you reap.

    Your expression, or destiny, describes your life purpose, your reason for taking this earthly journey. Your destiny or purpose in life is to express the qualities associated to your expression number. These qualities describe the environment that best suits you for personal self-expression. Your environment provides you opportunities for new thought and creative ideas. You are best suited to live and work in an environment that provides the qualities associated to your destiny number. Your Life Path number describes the talents and skills needed for the job within that environment.

    You chose the nature of that which you desired to create in this earthly manifestation. You also chose the conditions in which you desired to express yourself. Your date of birth reflects the nature of the path you will walk and the talents you possess to accomplish your life purpose as defined by your destiny number.

    The date and time of your birth is the one aspect of this earthly journey you are not able to alter. The nature of the path you will walk will remain consistent throughout your life. You chose this aspect of your journey as a natural progression in your eternal quest for spiritual perfection.

    Your birth date contains within it the nature of the talents and abilities you require to achieve success in this life. They are your bag-of-tricks for surmounting any obstacle on the path to attaining your life purpose. You can achieve any goal through concentration, focus and using your natural talents. Remaining focused is the key to accomplishment. However, being human, you are easily distracted from that which you desire to accomplish.

    It is your challenge in life to be aware of these distractions and to stay focused on your life purpose. Your challenges may appear as people, thoughts, or actions that cause you to doubt what you are attempting to accomplish. Your date of birth indicates for every day, month, year, and throughout your life, the nature of that which you wish to accomplish, (your Pinnacles), and that which may obstruct your path (your Challenges), distracting you with incorrect thinking or action.

    Everyone at his or her core has the innate ability to differentiate between what feels good and what feels bad. At the heart of every individual lies his or her character vibration. Each thought, action or word that you express sends a vibration out into the universe, much like a sound wave. This personal vibration indicates how you respond to that which you experience and lies at the basis of your character.

    Your character vibration is comprised of your unique combination of birth name and birth date. This vibration is like your thumbprint, unique to you. No other person will perceive or respond to the same condition you experience with the unique perspective of character that you are. No other person can see conditions from your unique combination of consciousness and experience. You are uniquely you!

    This unique aspect of self, acts as your personal guide, always watching out for your greatest good, ensuring you stay on track to reaching your life purpose and all the greatness you have to offer those you meet along your path. Your character vibration represents your power of attraction in the universe. This vibration indicates the manner in which you respond to your experiences. Your response depends on how your experience meets your personal preferences while staying true to your guiding principles and beliefs.

    When you respond with a positive character vibration, you attract all that you desire. You are happy, joyous, and ever expanding. You attract happiness, joy, and new ideas offering ever more expansion.

    A negative character vibration attracts with equal power in opposition to all that you desire. You feel disappointed, angry and fearful. The Law of Attraction brings that which you feel most strongly, disappointment, unhappiness and more resentment about your condition.

    You can choose at any time, in any moment, regarding any condition whether to respond with a positive or negative vibration. Do you want to experience all the good life has to offer, or do you choose to pinch yourself off from life’s abundance? It makes no difference what you have thought about a condition in the past, you can be reborn at any moment in time and choose to perceive a new reality.

    Everything you planned in your itinerary for your chosen earthly adventure is carefully stored in the letters of your name and the numbers in your date of birth. Numerology, the science of vibration is the key that reveals the information contained in the itinerary you created for your earthly journey. You chose your current path of life to refine your soul and develop your spirit. You will journey to earth for many lifetimes until your quest for spiritual perfection is complete or until you feel you have done all you can to further humankind by taking physical form.

    The reason you return to Earth is to experience the pleasure and joy of learning to create from a point of altruistic love where the things you manifest are for the benefit of all humankind and not simply from self-centered desire. It is by taking active, conscious thought that you improve yourself and become a better person.

    Your name and date of birth provide the roadmap to the experiences you chose to increase your spiritual awareness and growth. You have chosen a unique path for a unique purpose. Walk your path with joy. Be ever watchful for opportunities to express your natural talents and abilities. Use your itinerary and follow the path to your dreams.
