The numbers in your chart indicate a body and its capacities, also point to the fact you are using them as an asset or experiencing its negative side. As you get more familiar with the bodies you'll come up with your own interpretations of the numbers in the positions. Karma, soul and path numbers are often experiencing as challenges. which means that until you get into a conscious relationship with that body you probably will be demonstrating its negative aspects. Gift and destiny numbers generally manifest in a positive way, but we also need to develop those bodies to become even strongers assets. For instance if you have a gift you need first accept it, then use this your natural talent and strengthened in order to serve you. Havng the same numbers in the gift or destiny position as you have in on of the more challenges postions(i.e. karma soul path) may mean that you are struggling or being lazy ing your natural talents, and that your life is pushing you to consciously acsses them. Use your own intuition to interpret this kind of combinations. SOUL- needs to be accessed by becoming cozy with your own inner guidance. KARMA-needs to be neutralized by Dharma, by engaging in a pratice the harmonizes both your internal and external world. "When there's Dharma, there's no karma". YB GIFT-needs to be accepted and strengthened trough engaging in a concious practice. DESTINY-is waht you have developed trough many life times and how other people see you. In order to manifes your destiny in full, you need to develop a strong concious relationshp whit that body. PATH-is how you use all your fulfilled potential in order to serve others on the path to conciousness. IMPORTANT TO : You can live in the positive side of any body. Your chart is only a starting place, any cahllenges indicated in it are places to begin developing more consciousness. Turn any gift to a wonderfull asset, you have within your self the capability to fully manifest all the gifts of all ten bodies and to use them with flexiblity and joy.
Following I invite you to tune in for this week into the meaning of the first tree bodies, read on, get info from your books or other resources (always as taught by YB), and more important post your comments, questions, conclusions, thoughts, this may help you to clarify or may make you more consciuos of its meanings and also may help others to see from diferent points of view..in a nutshell please participate so we can develop slowly but surely a group study together, thanks!! ps. you may be anxious to get into your numers of you chart, and its of course fine, since it is one of the main goals of this study, but consider this way we'll be able to tune in to the realm of the numbers, and also later you can interpret others chart which is the other important goal of this study.
The Number 1 The first Spiritual Body is the Soul: it is represented by Guru Nanak and Guru Nanak represented Humility. The negative aspect of the number 1 is non-creativity. A person with a 1 in a negative position will have zero creativity. This is the most negative aspect of the number 1. He will be completely head-dominant. KARMA OF 1 A person who has a 1 in the Karma position normally relates to other people from the head. In order to be happy in the external realm, this person has to come from his heart, and the people that he deals with have to feel that he is coming from the heart; this is crucial for him if he wants to have harmony in his external world. Any particular technique that will work on harmonizing the 1 will also allow a person who has a 1 in the Karma position to feel in harmony with all his external dealings. SOUL OF 1 A person with a 1 in the Soul position is the kind of person who in his internal relationship with himself will create a circular argument with his subconscious and get stuck there. His tendency will be to deal with his internal stress from his head. This is frustating to him because his logic will carry him to a dead end and he will not be able to get out of that stress. If these people do a meditation or some sort of practice that will give them control of the first spiritual body then they will find that their logic will be conquered; they will begin to come from their heart and they will know what is right even if it doesn’t make logical sense. Their internal peace will come into harmony because they will be able to come from their hearts. GIFT OF 1
A person with a Gift of 1, like someone born in 1901, will have the ability to come from his heart as long as he is on a spiritual path. One’s Gift works when a person makes a committment to follow some spiritual path. The number 1 represents “creativity”, so creativity is the real key. A person who has a 1 as a Gift will be super-creative. DESTINY OF 1 In of Destiny a 1 means that this person has been very creative in many lifetimes before. If a person is on a spiritual path he will appear very creative to people who observe him from the outside. PATH OF 1 A person with a Path of 1 has to be very creative in order to feel really deeply fulfilled and to feel like he did his mission for God on this earth. Guru Nanak was in this position, his Destiny represents this number 1 - he created Sikh Dharma. A person who has a 1 in his Path would be in this same situation - his spirituality would be expressed through this creativity of God. --------------------------------------------------------------The Number 2 The key phrase for the number 2 is “Longing to Belong.” In order to make this number harmonize you have to connect with your spiritual teacher. This body is represented by Guru Angad - Obedience. For years I was in torment because I couldn’t connect with Yogi Bhajan. Finally, after 8 years of being in the Dharma I wrote him a letter, “Dear Sir: Help!” He wrote me back a letter and said, “My dear son, you and I will always be one in our hearts.” For a 2 that’s the ultimate bliss. That’s the way that I got the 2. My problem with being a 2 was that once I got attached you could not get rid of me. I would attach myself, but it would take me a while. When I was young I became attached very quickly and it was pretty devastating. Two’s learn right away that they can easily get hurt when they want to connect only on the physical level. For me the key was to connect with Yogi Bhajan; I connected on the spiritual level. When you connect on the spiritual level you can’t be hurt because it is your Godly relationship. Connecting on the spiritual level has nothing to do with your emotions and commotions. It is your real self that you must connect with on that spiritual level. The negative aspect of the number 2 is that this person will form negative associations or
he will be unable to calculate the danger in any situation. KARMA OF 2 In the birthday of february 13th, 1954, the formula gives a 4 as Soul number, a 2 as Karma Number, a 9 as gift and a 10 as destiny: In order for this person to be in tune with his Karma (2), to make sure that his external world is going right- his Negative Mind has to work. Karmically, this person would be very susceptible to try to connect with everyone. He would try to connect no matter what. He needs the company of quality people (The Company of the Holy) in order to be of quality himself. If his Negative Mind works he can calculate the danger in any relationship and he would make sure that the relationship would be beneficial to his Soul. When he is stressed out he might not be able to be neutral about the situation that he is in. In order to be in tune with his Soul, which is the number 4, it is important for this person to master the Neutral Mind so that whenever he is forced into a stressful situation his yogic mind will automatically calculate the correct action; this is called intuition. In a business sense, this person does business to make a friend, to make a connection, or to form a close tie with somebody. This person may make a deal where he would lose money in order to gain a friend. Thus, in a negative sense, this person is easily taken advantage of in business dealings as well as emotional relationships. SOUL OF 2 The key for a person with a 2 in the Soul position is to process his longing to the point of neutrality. This person asks himself, “What can I learn from this relationship or this situation?” If this number is working for the person, the first thing he re is that he is connected to God, then he makes a neutral evaluation of the situation to see if there is anything that could affect his soul in a negative way. He makes a roap through meditational processes and connects with his spiritual teacher. Connecting to his spiritual teacher he is connected to God, therefore, his connection to people is not that important. Protecting oneself is basically what this number is about, protecting one’s own spirituality and one’s own soul. GIFT OF 2 This person has the ability to connect to anyone and to make everyone feel relaxed. A Gift of 2 means one has the ability to calculate the danger in any situation and this is valuable when one has to make a very accurate evaluation of the danger. DESTINY OF 2 If a person with a Destiny of 2 has made the choice to be spiritual, people will look at this person as being an easy person to talk to, an easy person to connect with, someone who has a level head about relationships, a friend.
PATH OF 2 The number 2 is represented by Guru Arnad. He represents the perfect student and superobedience. He was the one who walked miles to the river to bring water to the guru - total dedication, total connectedness to the Infinity of the Guru. A person with a Path of 2 has to show this deep connection to Infinity. I look at it in of devotion, how a person should enact devotion towards Infinity. A number here teaches devotion. -----------------------------------------------------The Number 3 The Third Spiritual Body is the Positive Mind. It is represented by Guru Amar Das Equality. A 3 is flexible and mischievous. He gets pulled down by negativity and needs a positive sense of humor. The negative aspect of the number 3 is that this person will not able to see the good in situations. KARMA OF 3 The Karma for this person is to be positive in of his external relationships. In a business situation you will see that this person cannot make it because everything about the business world is negative. After a little bit of stress he can’t handle the relationship because his mind won’t focus on the positive; his mind is always focusing on the negative aspects. He is stuck in the Negative Mind. To harmonize his Karma he needs to do a meditation, a yoga set or some practice, for 1000 days to hope to see a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. He needs to see the harmony and the goodness in his work situation; then his mind will focus on the positive aspect of the relationship. SOUL OF 3 This position is the internal process of how one deals with himself. Let’s say he has an argument with somebody; after he works through it he will say:‘You know, all this is happening because I am such a creep, I am just no good. . .“. In other words, this person’s own internal process will be to negate himself - a sort of an inferiority complex - not being able to see himself clearly in a positive light. This person has to see himself as a Soul, as being part of God, instead of seeing himself as a sinner and as part of the Devil. GIFT OF 3
This person will always have a positive thing to say. Evervbody else can be negative but he will listen to them and it will not be a problem. He will say, “But have you ever looked at it from this point of view...". This is his Gift. He always has a cheery attitude about things. DESTINY OF 3 People will see somebody who has a Destiny of 3 as a cheerful person, as somebody who always has a positive input. Let’s say that I am a businessman and I want to hire a salesman. I might be able to look at this persons numbers and say, “He appears to be pretty happy but he has 3 as his Destiny.” I would say to him, “I’d like to observe you for a week”. In reality I may observe that this person really does have a very cheerful, positive outlook and I will feel that this will be beneficial to me as the employer. PATH OF 3 Three is Equality; this was the great quality of Guru Amar Das. In order to see Guru Amar Das, first you had to sit in langar and eat, even if you were the king. He realized that all people were equal; he created free kitchens; he wanted to make sure that everyone was taken care of. A person who has this quality will want to see equality in all situations, he wants to take care of everyone and is concerned about everyone. SOUL AND GIFT OF 3 If the Soul Number is a 3 and the Gift is a 3, it means that this person has the ability to know his Soul; it means that he has the ability to connect to his Soul when he wants to. His Gift is mastery of the 3rd Body and in order to connect with his Soul he has to master the 3rd Body, but it has already been given to him as a Gift, so he doesn’t have to. Having a 3 both as Soul and as Gift means that this person has the ability to connect to his Soul already. It means that as a child he was able to connect with his Soul readily. There are a lot of people in 3H0 that are like that. If your Gift is the same number as your Soul, it means that you have been given as a Gift, mastery of that particular body which allows you to communicate with your Soul freely. It is like a freeway - once you connect with that freeway and make that map, you can always go back and forth. If you are given that as a gift, it means that you have the ability to travel back and forth between your earthly and spiritual consciousness very easily, however, sometimes it can make you lazy... next wekk we'll tune in to numbers 4, 5 and 6 Dearest one, it was Guru Amar Das (3.Guru) who was very old, when getting guru-ship. He was the water bearer for Guru Angad! Guru Angad was very devote to Guru Nanak and developed the scripture and the letters for gurmukhi! Guru Amar Das was the home keeper for all who were homeless and rised up free kitchens and lungar for all, who needed it --- Beant
You wrote it by Path of 2: "The number 2 is represented by Guru Arnad. He represents the perfect student and super-obedience. He was the one who walked miles to the river to bring water to the guru - total dedication, total connectedness to the Infinity of the Guru." HE was NOT the one, who run miles after miles with the full water bottles for Guru Nanak, it was done by Guru Amar Das for HIS Guru, which was Guru Angad! --- This is a mistake in the text of the book, which has to be corrected! Love and peace - I am a 9 with Path number! Beant NUMBER 4 The Fourth Body is the Neutral Mind. It is represented by Guru Ram Das - Service. KARMA OF 4 In the negative sense, this person has the inability to be neutral; he has an opinion or a comment about everything. He is the most opinionated person in the world; he loves to argue whether he’s right or wrong, or whether it has been proven right or wrong; it doesn’t matter to him, he just has to comment on everything. By doing a practice or a meditation this person can hope to accomplish neutrality. He will gain the ability to listen and to make a neutral decision about the process he is involved in. A 4 in a positive sense is a listener and a source of blessings. SOUL OF 4 This person is very indecisive. He will say, “Well, I don’t know; I’m not sure; let me think about it..." He is never able to make a decision because he can’ t come to that point of neutrality. If he has the positive quality of this number he will be very decisive; he will be able to very quickly analyze himself. He may know himself so quickly that he will know the accurate answer immediately. He can listen to his own inner voice and he is totally sure; he is a yogi in of his Soul. GIFT OF 4 A Gift of 4 means that this person has a Yogic Mind. This person is neutral, humble, and loves to be serviceful. DESTINY OF 4 People will see this person as being neutral. People come to this person for advise. PATH OF 4 This number represents Service. This person has to become very serviceful oriented. Guru Ram Das has given the exarnple of building the Temple over and over and over again, seven times. This is what this person must strive for - humility and servicefulness.
If this person does his meditation or sings Guru Ram Das’ shabads for 1000 days, he will be in tune with what it takes to express his own divinity. The Number 5 The 5th Body is the Physical Body and physical things are pretty easy for someone with a 5 in his numbers. It is easy for a person with a 5 to push himself physically. He has a strong body and has the ability to sacrifice. Use what you have to overcome your weaknesses. The Fifth Body is represented by Guru Arjun. It represents the Physical Body but it is also the Teacher number. Guru Arjun had so much physical control that he sat on the hot plate and chanted Wahe Guru. That was his example. Guru Arjun represents Selfsacrifice. The negative aspect of the number 5 is that these people have a lot of problems with their physical body. They can’t control their physicial environment at all - it is hard for them to do exercises and it is hard for them to keep control of their weight. They love to eat and they can become lazy. They prefer comfort over sacrifice. They are scared to death to teach. NUMBER 5 A 5 is half God and half Man (half balance). KARMA OF 5 The negative aspect of the Fifth Spiritual Body in the Karma position is manifested in somebody who is self-indulgent and extremely overweight. In a business situation this person is seen as being self-interested and self-motivated. After mastery of this body this person will be able to make sacrifices and will have the willpower to make certain things happen in his relationships. SOUL OF 5 The key word here is Balance. A person with this body out of tune cannot reach a balance in his internal processes. Rather than going to Solstice he stays home in his nice, cozy house because he can’t make that sacrifice for his own spiritual growth. He can’t push himself out in front of a class to teach about God because he hasn’t reached that comfortable place within himself. The block to finding his own Soul is that he doesn’t have the ability to sit down and do a meditation for 1000 days. He doesn’t have the ability to do an exercise set to get rid of his obesity or whatever health problem he may
be having. His self-indulgence takes him down the path of self-distruction; whereas a person who goes through a clearing process for 1000 days and gets in charge of the Fifth Spiritual Body will have the ability to sacrifice his own comfort so he can be less angry. GIFT OF 5 The number 5 is my Gift: The ability to teach. It has always been easy for me to teach. As soon as I was in 3HO I was teaching. Teaching has never been a problem for me; it is like eating breakfast - there is no hassle to it, in fact, it is quite enjoyable and a very pleasurable experience. I have always enjoyed helping others learn. To discipline my physical body has never been hard either. DESTINY OF 5 This person will be seen as the personification of God which is what Guru Arjun represented. He will be seen as someone who can make self-sacrifices. PATH OF 5 This person must become a teacher by example. This is what Guru Arjun represented teaching by example. People need to see that this person lives his example and that he is the personification of what he teaches. By doing a particular discipline for l000 day's this person can tune himself to the fact that he has to live what he is teaching. In the present lifetime this person must teach to feel divine. The Number 6 The Arc Line is the Sixth Spiritual Body and the Sixth Guru was the master of the Arc Line. His actions, his life, his entire purpose, was to teach us about the Arc Line. Guru Hargobind stands for Justice. A person with a 6 will love to meditate. A “Person at Prayer” is someone who really likes to meditate. It should be easy for someone in 3H0 to meditate, so a person with a 6 will benefit from meditation. Other people have other talents - it may be counseling, it may be physical yoga sets, it may be music. The number 6 represents the Are Line, and the strength of this body will depend on whether the person has a 6 as his Soul Number or his Gift Number. It depends on how much he has worked on himself and it depends on his ability to meditate. It is going to depend on the person - if he is doing nothing spiritual the 6 may not work at all, then the Arc Line will be his biggest block. But if he worked on himself for 1000 days developing himself with meditation, his Are Line will be his biggest asset.
The Are Line gives you your intuitive ability. The negative aspect of the number 6 is that this person will be non-intuitive, he will talk without thinking and will have a hard time in situations where he has to concentrate. KARMA OF 6 The person who doesn’t have control of the Sixth Body in the Karma position will not have the power of the word in his business and personal relationships. He will say something but he won’t be able to live up to that because he doesn’t have the power of the word. He will not be constant for consistent. What a person can hope to gain through mastering this position will be the ability to be consistent, to follow through, to meet his commitments, to be one-pointed and very concentrated. SOUL OF 6 If a person’s Soul number is 6, then when he is onder stress his key is to keep his center. What is the center? It is the Soul, the sense of “self”, it is “who” one is. When one is under stress one should have his Are Line working for him. If one is under stress and his Are Line doesn’t work, this block will not allow him to tune in into the deeper levels of himself. If this person’s Arc Line doesn’t work, the information that he interprets will be contradictory; he is always in a state of confusion about what is going on. Doing a meditation or a process for 1000 days will give him the ability to be very confident and be sure that he knows exactly what is going on. GIFT OF 6 This person is totally one-pointed about everything that he does. DESTINY OF 6 The number 6 is “Person at Prayer.” It is the Arc Line. I have a 6 as my Destiny Number and for some reason my Arc Line has always worked; I always loved to meditate. I used the 5 and the 6 as my talents to work on the other bodies. In other words, meditation seemed to be the most natural way for me to work through my Karma, Soul and Path. Other people will see a person with a Destiny of 6 as being one-pointed and very prayerful. PATH OF 6 The negative aspect of this position is that this person will not want to be a “person at prayer” ; he won’ t even consider it. People don’t usually consider their Path until they have found their Soul. This person’ s divine expression as a human being is to be a channel that people relate to as a person at prayer - a holy person, a representative of God - very prayerful, very
meditative, very concentrated doing whatever it is that he does. As an example, let’s say this person is a lawyer. People need to see him having total control in a courtroom situation - he is never thrown off by anything that comes along in court; he always maintains a prayerful, calm, and confident poise. NUMBER 7 The Seventh Body is the Aura. The number 7 is what gives the person the ability to uplift, what makes a person feel at peace. It is Mercy. The number 7 has tremendous qualities. The number 7 will want to be up-front; he will do this because he wants to elevate people. A 7 may be a singer (singing can open people’s heart), he can heal with his voice, or he might want to sing just because he enjoys watching people be lifted. He will have a strong self-identity in all situations. The negative aspect of the number 7 is that this person will hide out in his shell - he will just stay in his house a whole lot and he won’t like to come out. He lives in his shell; he has the ability to grow in that shell and not go out. His house goes with him, he wants to be totally protected. A 7 can be easily swayed by other people and unfamiliar surroundings. Seven’s who work through this block feel at home everywhere. KARMA OF 7 This person is overwhelmed by everything in the external world. He will walk into an office with a speech all ready but will be unable to speak at all. There is so much input coming through his aura that it totally confuses his mind. What this person can hope to gain by doing something about it, is to be able to walk into any situation and feel totally confident; no matter how much negativity is present in his surroundings, he will uplift that situation because his aura is so strong that the negative input will not be able to penetrate his aura. SOUL OF 7 When this person processes internal information he does not have the ability to uplift himself; he can’t get his spirit moving. He can’t uplift his own internal processes so that life would seem good or exciting. Working through this block will give this person instant ability to uplift his own soul and to connect to his soul in of allowing that expression of the flowing spirit. When he sits to meditate he will be able to easily channel the constant flow of uplifting soul energy. GIFT OF 7 This person is always able to uplift situations. He can walk into any situation and bring spirit into it. This person is the “life of the party.” He can generate good energy easily.
DESTINY OF 7 People will see a person with a Destiny of 7 as a very uplifting, elevating type of person. PATH OF 7 This person has to learn to be merciful, like Guru Har Rai. He has to learn to uplift all of humanity, always give inspiration and make people feel hope where there is no hope. This person can look at a situation and see all the pain involved, and he will be able to bring the other person out of that situation. By meditating this person will tune himself into this mercy. The birthday February l3th, 1954 has a Path Number of 7 (1+3+2+1+9+5+4=7). In order for a person with this birthday to be fulfilled, he must uplift himself and others. He must uplift humanity. His position in life is that in order to feel his most divine self he must uplift. That is what he has to do. Many people who are into singing have a lot of 7energy. Many people who are out front in the Dharma have a lot of 7’s. We have some people who have three or four 7’s. Sat Kirpal Singh has three 7’s; Premka has three 7’s. A person with a 7 is one who is out front a lot, whose presence is real powerful. The number 7 is a very powerful number. These people have a real strong presence; they don’ t lose the sense of who they are. That is because outside influences don’ t throw them off. Their aura is strong enough that they don't get thrown off. The Number 8 The Eight Body is the Pranic Body, it represents Guru Har Krishan’s quality of Purity. The number 8 also stands for healing. My Path Number is 8 and I am a Chiropractor. Healing has always been the thing that I loved most, and it is the thing that gives me the most joy in life. It is written in my astrology chart. Everything in my chart says “Heal, heal, heal, heal,” everything. I f you master 8 you also master 2, 3, and 4 (“When you master pranayama you will have control of your mind"). Music can bring automatic mastery of the 8th Body because music takes tremendous control of prana. Singing will give you tremendous control of your Pranic Body. The person with an 8 will want to see others really jazzed up in terrns of energy. An 8 looks to food for energy and tries to get energy from gross forms rather than from subtle sources. The negative aspect of the number 8 is being tired all the time. This is the one thing that
doctors have missed: Tiredness does not come from the adrenal glands. That is the biggest mistake in the medical field. Tiredness comes from your Pranic Body not working. The Pranic Body is your diaphragm. When you open up the diaphragm (which is the main exercise you give to somebody who has adrenal problems), when you get the diaphragm flexed out, the Pranic Body starts working and there is no more tiredness. Tiredness has nothing to do with adrenals. The energy to the adrenals comes from the Pranic Body. KARMA OF 8 You will see a lot of fear in this person. No matter what he gets into, there is never enough energy to do it. He does not have the infinite vision to see that he can do better. The positive aspect of the number 8 in this position is that once he harrnonizes the eighth body, he will able to look at a very finite situation and project outwards. He will be able to see the steps that he has to take to make it from where he is to where he wants to be. By having mastery of the Pranic Body he will able to follow through with his plan and make it to his goal. Mastery of this body gives one that ability to have the energy to control the prana to do that which one needs to do and also to gain the vision to be able to see a more infinite picture of what it is that one is involved in. This person is the “long-range planner.” SOUL OF 8 The main blockage that this person has in processing his own internal states is fear. It is said, “Spiritual people should be happy,” but this person will say, “Oh... I can’t be happy because....” He will always find some excuse which is fear-oriented. This fear will keep him from being able to see happiness and joy in his life. The positive aspect of this number, once he works on this body, is that he will be totally fearless to deal with anything that comes his way. Once he tunes in to his soul he will see the expansiveness of his relationship with God. He will see that he is God, that he is Infinite; he will be in the ecstasy of the joy of seeing the infinity of God, the Wahe Guru. GIFT OF 8 This person will be fearless. This person is sought after when one wants to expand a business - get an 8 in your team and ask him, “Where can we go from here?” This person can plan ahead and help you get ahead. DESTINY OF 8 The basic viewpoint of this person is that he is fearless and he has the ability to carry through when everybody else fails by the wayside.He has the ability to latch unto some project and take it all the way to its maximum. PATH OF 8
Guru Har Krishan had so much joy and comion for his town that he gave up his life so that all else could live; this is an incredible example of Purity to follow. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Number 9 The Ninth Body is the Subtle Body; it gives a person the ability to be subtle. It is represented by Guru Teg Bahadur and the quality of Calmness. It is easy for a 9 to tune into what is really happening. The negative aspect of the number 9 would be to be super-gullible - the inability to be subtle. This block can make a person innocently naive. KARMA OF 9 A person with a Karma of 9 is not subtle in his external relationships. In business and emotional relationships he will be very crude; he lacks gentleness and the beautiful flow that a 9 can have. When the 9 is working one can be as graceful as the swan. This person might see the negative sides of situations but he will blur them out; he is innocently naive. If the 9 is working, this person will see the problem and he will work it out on a subtle level so that the relationship becomes very smooth. Instead of confronting somebody very directly this person will let you know that he knows, and offer graceful ways to correct the problem. Let’s say you know somebody who has no interest in Kundalini Yoga and he has a 9 in his Karma position. If you ask him, “What do you do for a living?” most likely he will answer, “Well, I had fifty-seven jobs...” He can’t stick with anything because his problem is that his Subtle Body is not working. This particular person’s frustation in life comes from getting a new job every 3 months, and the reason why he gets sick is because he can’t keep a job. His cure would be to do something over and over again. If he has a hobby he really likes he should really dive into it. It doesn’t have to be a yogic technique, but if he practices a yogic technique, great! If not, he can still work through his karma by just totally diving in. Tell him, “You have to work on your hobby every day for half an hour.” It will do wonders for him. It’s incredible! That discipline of working on his hobby will give him mastery. When he gets mastery he will not go from job to job to job. I have a 9 for my Karma and this meant that the Virgo in me had to be a master; I had to take something and master it. You will find that Virgos can be very one-pointed about doing things, about being very articulate, and about just getting systems down. The act of mastery gives you the ability to know the subtle things about your art, your craft, or whatever it is that you are doing.
Michaelangelo was a master. What made him a master was that he lived and breathed his art. Whatever you do, live it, breathe it and become a master at it. A master understands the subtlety of the art that he is doing. SOUL OF 9 In his own relationsbip with himself and his Soul, this person is very hard on himself; he doesn’t give himself the consciousness to stick to things. He will not want to master; his misery comes from everything being a mystery; whereas, his joy comes from mastering things. He will stick with something for a short period of time but once he will learn to stay with things and have that mastery, he will become very subtle. This is the artist. This person may be very crude and hard om himself, but once he does a process to get this particular body in harmony he will be gentle with himself and give himself a little more space and time to be the master at any particular thing. The prime example is Guru Teg Bahadur meditating for 26 years before he became Guru. This number gives one the ability to be totally at ease, and gives one complete knowledge and mastery of any situation. It is like the lotus flower on the water, it just rides along and doesn’t fight the waves. In the birthday 9/9/1954 one has a Soul which is a 9 and a Gift which is also a 9. What this means is that God gave him as a gift his Soul. These people are usually very in tune on a very deep level with their own being, so it is not the Soul they need to work om, but it may be the Path Number that they need to work on. You can give them any meditation, and if they do it for 1000 days it will automatically work on the Subtle Body. GIFT OF 9 This person can master situations very quickly. He is very accurate about what goes on around him. A birthday in the year 1954 has a Gift Number of 9. This person’s gift is that he is master. Whatever he tries to do, he’ll understand the subtlety of it very quickly. DESTINY OF 9 People will see this person as being very masterful. He learns systems and learns things very quickly. PATH OF 9 What this person has to manifest in of his Path is that he has to be very masterful and has to exhibit total calmness in whatever it is that he does. This brings about the subtlety of things. He never gets excited about anything; not that he is dull, but he can process information in such a way that it soothes people. By doing a meditation for 1000 days this person will gain the ability to express his own spirituality with subtlety and calmness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Number 10 Every number is reduced to a one digit number except the numbers 10 and 11. The Tenth Body is the Radiant Body. The Royal Courage of Guru Gobind Singh is the divine expression of this body. People who have the number 10 working for them walk into a room and everybody notices them. People who have no radiance and no spark look like death warmed over they have a 10 that doesn’t work. The perfect definition of a 10 that’s not working is “banana spine”. People with a 10 should keep their hair long, do the Archer Pose, and drink cucumber juice. KARMA OF 10 This person will be “All or Nothing,” and usually he will be very “banana spine” in his relationships and business dealings. The positive aspect of this position is manifested as radiance in his involvements, both business and emotional. He will put 150% effort into his work. SOUL OF 10 This person’ s attitude is, “I can’t do it; I don’t have the energy; Oh, God, I’m just not able to...” The world for this person is “nothing”; he can never make things happen. What a person can hope to get out of a meditation is the attitude of, “I’m going to give it my 150%,” no matter what it is that he will do. If he is going to meditate, he will sit down and do it with 150% of his energy. GIFT OF 10 If you own a company and you want something to happen, ask a person with a 10 as a Gift to get involved and he will make things happen, quicker than anybody else. He does his work with such zest that the project itself will manifest radiance. Whatever this person applies himself to becomes radiant. DESTINY OF 10 This person is seen as being very radiant and as doing everything with a lot of zest and energy.
PATH OF 10 Royal Courage is the perfect definition of what this person has to manifest in his lifetime. In the birthday 9/9/l954 the numbers are: Soul number=9, Karma number =9, Gift number =9, Destiny number =10 and the Path number=10 A Destiny (Century) number of 10 means that this person worked on his Radiant Body many times in his past lifetimes. With a Path Number of 10 the key is to do a meditation like “Gobinde Mukande Udare Apare Hariang Kariang Nirname Akame,” the mantra that Guru Gobind Singh gave us. If he meditates on this mantra for 1000 days, it will not only take care of his Soul, but it will also take care of his Path. In a 1000-day period, it can turn that being totally around. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Number 11 Every number is reduced to a one digit number except the numbers 10 and 11. If you have an 11 in any position, do not change it. Thus, whenever you have an 11 in your numerology, it does not turn into a 2. For example, let’s take December the l3th - the 12 of the month would change into 3 and the 13 would change into a 4, but with October the 11th, nor the 10 does not change neither the 11, leave it as an 11. The number 11 represents the Siri Guru Granth, the “Entirety,” the “Perfection of the Being.” The numbers for somebody with a birthday on November 11, 1947, are 11, 11, 11. This rneans that this person has to have a very intense relationship with the Guru. When you bow before the Siri Guru Granth your Arc Line merges with the Arc Line of the Guru’s feet and your 10 bodies automatically work perfectly; that is why the most important discipline, the most valuable discipline for a Yoga student is to go before the Guru and bow, because it automatically makes the 10 bodies work. People who have 11 in key numbers must spend a lot of time with the Guru - serving the Guru, Parkash, whathever - they have to put a lot into the Guru. It is amazing how many people have 11’s. I know one lady that has 3 11’s, and she is a holy terror. Now she is finally responding to that and it totally switched her. She has an 11 in the Gift position, but she has been resisting that gift. She didn’t accept gifts very easily. The number 11 is a Scorpio (in Astrology). A negative 11 would be really down into the Scorpio consciousness. There are 3 aspects of Scorpio: the Scorpion, the Eagle, and the Phoenix. The Siri Guru Granth is like the Phoenix - that pure light, this is the positive aspect. The negative of this number is the real scorpion projective consciousness. A
person with an 11 in a negative position can forget his infinity and be ruled by Maya. KARMA OF 11 A Karma of 11 means that the Karma is set. An 11 in this position represents mastery of the physical realm. In a negative sense, this person has no mastery of the physical realm; he is always worried about money and about his physical looks - he wants the prettiest cars and he is always concerned about how others see hirn. In a positive sense this person is elegant, royal and divine, and he knows it, so he wears the best clothes and he drives the nicest car, but not because of what others might think of him, but because he has the highest opinion of himself. SOUL OF 11 This person will have a huge conflict because he wants to be the complete master of himself and he can’t see at all how he can do it. The only way he can become a master is to surrender to the Guru. Once he surrenders to the Guru (and I recommend raading from the Guru for 1000 days) he will allow God to run his life and he will know that God is really the Master. Then he becomes the representative of God and he becomes master of the physical universe; therefore money doesn’t bug him and nothing bothers him. GIFT OF 11 A person with a Gift of 11 is able to express the energy of any one of the spiritual bodies whenever he needs to. DESTINY OF 11 The number 11 is called “Unchangeable Destiny.” It is written: There is no change - your destiny is written, it has been written and will never change. This person is looked at as someone who constantly reminds people of God, through his dress, through his projection, or in any other way he will remind other people of Infinity. PATH OF 11 This person must become the Siri Guru. He must become a constant reminder of God to other people. The way he can do this is by bringing other people to the Feet of the Guru the Siri Guru Granth. Whenever he is having a conversation he can always take that person and expand that person’s consciousness through that interchange; he can expand other people to Infinity. People walk away from this person feeling very elevated and very conscious.
THE KARMA POSITION
Karma is external disharmony, it is representative of your weak points and challenges which you must overcome. you will experience the negative, disharmoniuous aspects of that body. Karma push you to you own spiritual path, your Dharma. "Where there's Dharma, there's not Karma." YB "Once you have engaged in a spiritual discipline, that discipline begins to harmonize your internal state and your external world so that you no longer have external disharmony, karma." What is Shakti Pad and Sahej Pad? guruchande says --after you have practiced your Dharma for a while, you come to the trasition stage, Sahkti PAD, WHERE YOU EXPERIENCE A STRUGLE BETWEEN YOUR INNER VOICE AND YOUR ENTRENCHED KARMIC PATTERNS. This ussually also manifes as distrust of your spiritual teacher, who is the external reflection of your inner voice. You'll know you've made it trough Shakti Pad when you have accepted the guidance of you own inner voice as a way of life. Then you'll begin experiencing your life as a flow of divinity, which is the stage of Sahej Pad." Steps Along The Path----------- by Yogi Bhajan I’d like to paint before you the picture of Spiritual Infinity. A person starts having weird trips and weird combinations, feels pressures from this world and starts running toward the spirit. Somebody uses himself as the introducer. So first you meet an introducer who introduces you to the path. Then when you come to the path, it is not the person but it is the discipline which is told to you. It is called Saram Pad. Saram Pad is when you are introduced to the path and Karam Pad is the sadhana which you are to do on that path. Then within four to seven years, you enter Shakti Pad, time when you confront nobody else but your own ego, and it is the last chance in 8.4 million lifetimes wherein you escape the aavaagavan, the cycle of birth and death. This is called Shakti Pad. Between Shakti Pad and Sahej Pad, there is no rope, there is no link, it is a leap. Either you leap forward in faith or you fall down to the base and crash. And when from Shakti Pad you enter Sahej Pad, you become Attal (that which is Infinite and doesn’t change.) That’s it. Then there is no He, She or It, is is “Heshit.” It is not a big deal when you realize it. Then you mentally have a permanent link with your teacher. How do I know it? When I meditate, all those teachers who have a mental link with me, appear just like a panorama show. So long as a person’s link appears on my rosary, I never consider him gone. When he stops appearing on that link of my rosary, he may tell me I am a great Yogi, I never consider that he is with me. When Sahej Pad comes, it automatically will take you to Sat Pad or what we call Sach Khand a state of consciousness of Truth here and hereafter. You will be saved, your generations will be saved.* Now knowing that technology, people started practicing it. These worldly difficulties,
jealousy, greed, and all those things, were with you. They are with you, and they can only leave you when you have that mental capacity to create a link. It is the link of the mind which a person creates with his teacher that creates the grace. You project from your heart, you project the link. It is just as when you want to scale a castle wall, you take a rope which has a hook on one end and you throw it up. It catches and then you climb and jump over–no problem. Commitment is the highest virtue, it must be practiced in the highest discipline. That is why Kundalini Yoga demands commitment. You do this hanky-panky. You think you can get away with this, you can get away with that. It is your obnoxiousness, I am not party to it. I know that without pressure, carbon can never become a diamond. If you think you cannot stand the pressure, then you do not know whether you are a human being, because the human body, the sympathetic, parasympathetic and action nervous systems have been made to withstand extreme pressure to crystallize the consciousness. …There are two technologies, short technologies and long technologies. Kundalini Yoga is the shortest technology between the unconscious and the Supreme Conscious. It is a Yoga of Awareness. Hatha Yoga means where sun and moon energies meet into oneness. The totality of all yogas is one Yoga–Kundalini Yoga, the Yoga of Awareness, the Yoga of Consciousness. It is specific. This Yoga is for those who want to do a specific and special course in consciousness and awareness. It demands a commitment. In Raag Raamkalee, Guru Gobind Singh talks to his own mind. He gives you the antar of the patantar. Antar means nucleus and patantar means projection. Now how can anybody teach yoga if he is not a yogi? Guru Gobind Singh teaches yoga to his mind. Yoga enables you to get rid of sicknesses. It is a medical process of consciousness. Technology does help us. Without it nobody becomes an expert. …Shakti Pad eats up people because there is one gap which can only be conquered by a leap of faith. Shakti Pad is the era of consciousness in which you confront the ego and the ego confronts you in a million ways, but if you take faith and the mental link of your teacher, you can lean through it, you can penetrate through it, you can it.** Excerpts from KWTC, August 23, 1978 *In other lectures, the Siri Singh Sahib has defined Saram Pad as the step where you come under the protection of the Teacher, Karam Pad as the doing of the practices and Shakti Pad is the experience of such personal ego–power–the ego forms alliance with the intellect to convince the person he or she no longer needs the discipline nor the devotion (one forgets to be humble!) Sahej literally means wisdom–and Sat, of course means truth–the unqualified, unchanging divine reality. **An additional help in crossing safely and successfully through Shakti Pad is the
chanting of the mantra, “Ardas Bhaee Amar Das Guru, Amar Das Guru Ardas Bhaee, Ram Das Guru Ram Das Guru, Ram Das Guru, Sachee Sahee.”
Mastering the Ten Bodies "About ten years ago I first began to tune into my own numerlogy. I saw that I had a karma 9, which means that I have to achieve mastery in order for my life to be harmonious, but I didn't yet know what that really meant. The one day I went a class where Yogi Bhajan was talking about how to make changes in your life. He said,' forty days of a meditation begins to break the old habit. Ninety days put the habit into your subconcious.' I was begining to wonder what mastery meant when he continued, ' One hundred and twenty days locks a new habit into the subconcious so that it an automatic pattern from that point forward.' Then YB looked right at me and said, ' After 1,000 days you will be a master.' Well, that's all I need to hear. I knew right then that I was to do a meditation for 1,000 days.... Yogic technologies What do you have to do to master something? You have to do it over and over again, until you go trough the highs and the lows and the boredom of it, until you get into the very essence of it.(see blog posted by Tej Preet).... ...you can do a specific technology for 40, 90, 120, or 1,000 days, that's even more powerful. Your intention, you prayer, your projection, and this technology together constitute a very powerful formula for transformation." Please share your comments below
The Soul Position
Your soul number is what connects you to your Soul. that part within that gives you a sense of peace and balance. To experience your soul you should let the heart be the ruler instead of the head. The soul number indicates where may be your weakness to connect with you soul, so you need to strengthen this weak link and master it so it can help you. I have a 7 soul number. it means I need to develop my auric body in order for this body help me to connect with my soul. By mastering this body (the one corresponds to your soul number) it always will serve you under difficults situations by connecting with you soul, so you'll be able to act from a place of inner trust. I find the following lecture very helpful to understand the procces we all have engaged on awakening our Soul, the kundalini energy, to experience our souls in its full dimension. Awakening the Soul I HAVE RECOGNIZED, WITH THE BLESSING OF MY MASTER , that it is possible to be healthy, to be happy, and to be holy while living in this society. But you must have energy so that your dead computer may live and on the signal to you, and may compute all that you want to do in this society. We call this energy, in the old science, kundalini, which has been blocked in muladhara, the lowest of all chakras, or lotuses. These are imaginary things. Huge books have been written on them. These books misled me, too, for many years. Still, I learned about them, and about the chakras (or circles, as we call them in English). These books have put us in so many circles that we do not come out of it, and we reach nowhere. Yet, there is a way we can set our computer to be in direct with Him, the Biggest Computer, and all things must then work automatically. That cannot work until the kundalini, the spiritual nerve, breaks through the blockage at the muladhara, travels up, and reaches the stage that you may have Superconsciousness in Consciousness. You must generate the pressure of the prana and mix it with the apana. Thus, when the two together, you generate heat in the pranic center. With this heat of the prana, you put a pressure or charge on the kundalini, the soul nerve, which is coiled in three and a half circles on muladhara. (Kundal means “the curl of the hair of the beloved.” It does not mean snake or serpent.) This will awaken it so that it may pierce through the imaginary chakras and ultimately through jalandhara bandh—the Neck Lock—the final blockage in the spine before the energy reaches the head. YOGA—ING THE TWO ENERGIES Let me define a few . Prana is the life force of the atom. Apana is elimination, or the eliminating force. These are two forces in us—positive and negative—which are governed by ida and pingala—left and right. When we these two energies under the
power and science of Kundalini Yoga, we mix the prana with the apana and, under that pressure, bring the kundalini up. When it es through the central nerve, or sushmuna, it reaches the higher chakras or lotuses, and thus one can know his total surroundings and he is a blessed being. After one inhales the prana deep down to the navel center, and pulls the apana with the Root Lock up to the Navel Center, prana and apana mix there. This is known as the Nabhi Chakra at the fourth vertebra. Heat is felt during the kundalini awakening, and that heat is the filament of the sushmuna, or central spinal channel, being lit by the ing of prana and apana. Below the Nabhi Chakra, the energy leaves the navel and goes to the lower chakra at the rectum, and then it rises. This is called the reserve channel. Then there are six more chakras through which the kundalini must rise— and it will happen all at once. Once you have raised it, that’s it. The hardest job is to keep it up, to keep the channels clean and clear. THE THREE GATEWAYS The pathway of energy from the rectum to the vocal cord is known as the Silver Cord. From the neck to the top of the head is the age1. From the Third Eye to the pineal gland is the Golden Cord. To make the energy rise in these cords and age, you must apply hydraulic locks. You must put a pressure. You know how we take the oil out of the ground, by putting a pressure so that the oil will come out? Like that, your spine the mind from is a staircase of energy. First, mulbandh brings apana to the navel, or fourth vertebra, the central seat of the kundalini. Second, the diaphragm lock takes it to the neck. Third, the Neck Lock takes it up the rest of the way. The pineal gland, or seat of the soul, does not work when the Tenth Gate at the top of the head is sealed. But when the pineal secretes as the kundalini heat is released, your pituitary acts as a radar, keeping the mind from negativity. KUNDALINI: THE NERVE OF THE SOUL Kundalini is known as the nerve of the soul. This is to be awakened; your soul is to be awakened. When the soul gets awakened, what else can remain? In the practical reality, these chakras are imaginary and nothing else. This kundalini is just a kundalini and nothing else. It is not very important. These pranas and apanas are just there. Everything is set in us. We lack nothing. We use these simply to make the process clear so that we can get on with it. It is very simple. After getting myself into the darkness for years, I found that if I would have known on the first day that it was so easy, I could have saved myself a lot of hassle. When I found out that the kundalini really can come up like this, I was astonished. It was a surprise to me. That’s it. That is the greatest truth. Truth is bitter, I know. So I cannot speak all the truth. But I speak indirectly and directly about the truth, because I cannot speak anything beyond truth...continue reading
