There can be a lot of confusion around birth dates numerology compatibility. Is it psychic? Is it strictly mathematics? Is it related to astrological signs? Is it only something that psychic people can truly determine?

Some people may wonder how it connects with other types of subjective sciences such as astrology, psychic palm readings, tarot cards and similar alternative measures for defining the future.

The answer is that numerology is a little of all of these things. Birth dates numerology compatibility is another way of determining the likelihood of lifelong happiness between a couple as well as helping to identify character traits that can better predict appropriate love matches.

There are several components of numerology that utilize numbers to associate with certain letters or events. Birth dates numerology compatibility is unique in that for the most part, a person never really has any influence on their birth dates. In the realm of numerology birth dates are pre-determined by forces well beyond those on earth and is hence one of the purest forms of identifying character and compatibility.

What Is Numerology?
Numerology is the study of the symbolism of numbers. It is used to determine a person’s personality, strengths and talents, obstacles to be overcome, inner needs, emotional reactions and ways of dealing with others.

A Little History
The roots of numerology can be traced back some 10,000 years or more to Egypt and Babylonia. Pythagoras, who developed many of the basic theorems that form the foundation of modern mathematics (including the right triangle theorem taught in math classes today) is credited with formally organizing the field about 2600 years ago in ancient Greece.

At the turn of the twentieth century, an American woman, L. Dow Balliet, and several of her contemporaries published a few books and started the modern phase of numerology.

The field grew slowly through several decades. Now, in the last half of the century, increased research and publishing along with a marked resurgence of interest in numerology is taking place.

How Numerology Works
Everything in the universe vibrates at its own particular frequency. By finding the vibration rate of any object, you can establish the qualities and energies associated with it.

By applying the principles of numerology — and using only the name and birth date as the basic data — you can determine the major frequencies of different people. A numerological analysis of the calculated frequencies provides significant information on these people’s personalities and character.

The Basic Numerology Calculation
In the basic mathematical operation used in numerology, the numbers are reduced by simple addition. The number 15, for instance, is reduced by adding 1 + 5 to get 6. Similarly, the number 1974 can be reduced by adding 1 + 9 + 7 + 4 to get 21. The 21 can be further reduced by adding 2 + 1 to get 3.

In numerology, all numbers are reduced to the single digits 1 through 9 except the special master numbers 11 and 22. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 22 represent the major vibration rates associated with people’s characteristics.

Letters in individuals’ names are converted to numbers and then added together. These numbers, in turn, are also reduced. The letter A, for instance, is 1; the letter B is 2; the letter C is 3, and so forth. The following table shows the numbers assigned to all 26 letters in the English alphabet.

By applying simple mathematical formulas to the numbers representing a person’s name and birth date, a numerologist can derive four major core elements and some twenty or thirty modifiers.

A symbolic evaluation of these elements and modifiers provides a remarkably complete and accurate character analysis. (About half the information in the analysis, incidentally, comes from the birth date and half from the name.)

The Symbolism Of Numbers
The symbolic analysis of the single digits and master numbers is the essence of a numerological character analysis. Since so many numbers are present and modify each other, the analysis is, as you might expect, a considerably complex operation. When you understand the basic symbolism of the numbers outlined below, though, you’ll have a useful grasp which should make it easier for you to interpret the various parts of a numerology reading.

1: Independence, Individuality, Attainment; Leadership, Pioneering, Administrating.
This number brings strong leadership potential. As a person with this number develops this ability, they may be able to assume a significant position in the business or political world. One of the major lessons of this number is to learn the benefits of being independent.

A person with this number must first learn to stand comfortably on their own two feet without leaning on other people. After that, they can advance themselves by using their ability for organizing, leading and managing.

Some people spend much of their lives on the first part of the lesson. Others learn that part quickly and devote most of their lives to important leadership roles.

2: Cooperation, Closeness, Sensitivity; Balance and Harmony, Supportive.
People with this number have an innate sensitivity and an extreme awareness of their own and others’ feelings. Because they are so touched by the subtleties of everyone’s emotions, they can understand a great deal from a word, a gesture or even an unspoken thought.

One of the major lessons of this number is to learn to balance that sensitivity so it contributes to one’s well-being instead of tripping oneself up. Rather than becoming hurt or resentful because of their unusual sensitivity, one must learn to use their responsiveness for their own and others’ benefit.

Although their sensitivity may feel like a weakness, particularly in their younger years, it is, without question, one of their important strengths.

3: Expressing Self, Joy of Living; Enthusiasm, Optimism, Creativity, Sociability.
Individuals with this number have a special gift, the potential to experience great delight in the pleasures of life. They sometimes affirm this delight with exhilarating enthusiasm, sometimes savor it with intense but quiet pleasure.

One of their major lessons of this number is to learn to fully appreciate and express this wonderful joy in living.

Those with this number enjoy people and spend considerable time socializing, either with many friends in varied activities or in the company of a few intimates engaged in quiet diversions. They’re also apt to enjoy using their considerable creative ability.

4: System and Order, Service, Sense of Limitation; Managing, Working Hard, Practical, Down-to-Earth.
Those with this number have the potential to work long, hard and patiently. If there’s a job requiring a good deal of time, much difficult work and careful attention to detail, they can probably do it well.

One of the major lessons of this number is to learn the advantage of using system and order.

A person with this number may choose a line of work in which their systematic approach can be developed. They’re likely to be good at establishing new routines and maintaining existing ones.

They will also experience limitations and restrictions at times in their life. Rather then struggle against these, it is necessary to learn to live with them, to accept them and make a meaningful life, not in spite of the limitations, but because of the limitations.

5: Constructive Use of Freedom; Variety, Excitement, Progressive, Creative.
A person with this number displays considerable versatility — the ability to do almost anything they attempt with superior skill. This innate capacity allows them a boundless freedom most people can only dream about.

One of the major lessons of this number is to learn to use this freedom constructively.

Since these individuals have so many talents and so many opportunities for the use of those talents, they probably have to learn to focus their energies on a limited number of ventures rather than attempt to take advantage of all the possibilities.

6: Balance, Responsibility, Love; Supportive, Comforting, Serving, Helping.
People with this number demonstrate an innate ability to comfort, help and serve others less able than themselves. They devote much of their effort to other people.

One of the major lessons of this number is to learn the special satisfactions that come from the responsibilities one accepts. Since others will quickly recognize the caring ways of those with this number and turn to them for the help they can provide, they are apt to commit themselves to far more than their fair share.

Although their sense of responsibility is one of their important strengths, they may have to learn that they don’t have to be responsible for everything or everybody.

7: Analysis, Understanding, Introspective; Search for Truth, Spiritual Understanding.
Individuals with this number have a fine analytical mind and are capable of much in the way of learning. They usually have the potential to understand fundamental truths as well as the capacity to search for ultimate meanings.

They may involve themselves in complex technical, scientific or philosophical studies. One of your major lessons of this number is to use one’s abilities to learn the peace of mind which can only come from knowing oneself and accepting and expressing one’s deepest feelings.

8: Material Satisfaction, Accomplishment; Desire for Success, Power, Recognition.
This number brings strong business ability. As a person with this number develops their executive and administrative talents, they may want to run their own business or, at the least, play a significant role in some commercial venture.

One of the major lessons of this number is to learn the satisfactions of the material world and the power which comes with its mastery.

Those with this number may have to learn that the attainment of wealth or power is not an end in itself, but only a means to an end. The goal, quite simply, is the happiness and satisfaction which can be achieved along with the material freedom.

9: Selflessness, Humanitarianism; Giving Without Thought of Return, Compassionate.
People with this number have an innate love of their fellow man. They usually enjoy people as individuals and, at the same time, have a marked concern for humanity in general.

They may involve themselves in philanthropic or humanitarian activities.

One of the major lessons of this number is to learn to give of oneself as selflessly as possible, without thought of reward or return. As one can well imagine, this is a difficult lesson to put into practice. Much of a person’s effort may be spent in learning to balance their personal needs and ambitions, however large or small, against their inborn desire to contribute to those in need.

11: Illumination, Nervous Tension; Spiritual Channel and Teacher.
When those with this number use their spiritual awareness, they can intuitively perceive a great deal about the non-material world — and religious, psychic or metaphysical forces. They have the potential to act as a channel for these awareness’s.

They must learn to develop their ability to tune into these spiritual areas and then transmit their unique knowledge and increased perception of the deepest truths to others. This may prove to be one of the more important lessons that they learn.

22: Master Builder, Latent Power, Nervous Tension; Spiritual Understanding of Material World, High Ideals.
When those with this number use their spiritual awareness, they are likely to intuitively perceive a great deal about the non-material world — and religious, psychic or metaphysical forces.

They have the potential to apply these unique philosophical perceptions to the accomplishment of practical, down-to-earth undertakings.

They may be able to develop or manage sizable ventures, particularly ventures with significant humanitarian ends. Learning to use their non-material understandings for the benefit of the material world may prove to be one of the more important lessons in their life.

The two most important parts of a numerology reading are the Life Path and Expression which are described below. Using the above number descriptions, you can get a basic idea of what your numbers mean.

Life Path
The Life Path is the most important number in a numerology reading. If you could only use one number to describe a person, that number would, undoubtedly, be the Life Path.

The Life Path describes the major lessons to be learned in a person’s life. These lessons often determine the central focus of the life. The Life Path also clarifies the environment which is most conducive to learning the lessons involved and describes, as well, some of the major characteristics likely to be present in the individual’s makeup.

Most people have little trouble relating to their Life Path. Some people, though, for their own reasons, have little interest in pursuing that particular direction.

The Life Path is derived by calculating the sum of the month, day and year of birth, and reducing to a single digit or master number.

Expression
The Expression is another important number. It describes a person’s potential talents — the natural abilities as well as the related character traits. For most of us, these talents and skills are there at birth, although they are usually further developed as an individual grows and matures.

Very often — but not always — these particular abilities are of primary importance in a person’s work and career. Frequently, the talents described by the Expression form the central feature of an individual’s career.

The Expression is derived by calculating the sum of the number values of all the letters in the name — for example, the letters in the full name appearing on the birth certificate, and reducing to a single digit or master number.

Though this article is intended to cover the basics of numerology, there are many good books available if you would like to pursue this fascinating subject in more depth.

The western approach of numerology is entirely different from that of eastern approach, the Indians developed the science of numerology through intuition and the westerners developed it through knowledge.

This is probably a stupid question but I just want to make sure I’m on the right track. When I visualize do I visualize it in my mind or with my eyes like I’m physically looking at it. I’m just not sure which way I should be going here. Thanks.
……………………………………………………………….

When you visualize something, you don’t create a image visible with your physical eyes. You recall a mental image, but your eyes see a black screen (if your eyes are closed).

“He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still”

Psychics use various methodologies to bring out their psychic energy and describe it to others. One of these is called automatic writing. If you have psychic abilities, or are in the process of developing them, automatic writing is another way to get guidance from the higher planes.

Automatic writing requires you to completely surrender your ego to your spiritual guides. In effect, you are lending them your hand to write.

To achieve this, you need to be relaxed or in a trance-like state. It often happens easiest the first thing in the morning, before the stress of the day makes it’s way into your subconscious. Sit comfortably at a desk or writing table and use your own form of meditation to achieve this.

When you feel very relaxed, pick up a pen and place it gently to paper as if you intend to write. Many find it helpful to keep their eyes gently closed. Now imagine your higher self traveling down your arm and taking over your hand. Allow it to happen.

Visualize your higher self taking over your hand and writing its message for you. Assure your hand doesn’t lock by allowing it to scribble gently but without direction. Let the pen flow as it wants to. All the while, imagine your higher self is doing the writing.

The objective here is to let your subconscious take over your hand and write to you from the unconscious plane. When it happens you will feel your handwriting without your conscious direction.

This technique can be very exciting and insightful, but it takes a patient and receptive person to develop it. If you think you are that type, practice this for 25 to 30 minutes 3 times a week. The more you practice, the more likely you are to succeed.

It can’t be stressed enough how important patience is to success in automatic writing. Some of our foremost psychics practiced for years before feeling any significant tug at their hands. Then it takes even more patient practice to get good at it; to get more than just stray words, phrases or names written.

Some psychics have a natural talent for automatic writing and the words flow from them the instant they attempt it…sometimes, when they aren’t even trying! Messages and even long letters come through during automatic writing.

Automatic writing is not the same as inspirational writing, but it is related. In the latter, you attempt to guide the conversation with your higher self by asking it a specific question. You start the session by consciously writing down the question or need for counsel.

Then, after a short meditation for relaxation, imagine that your higher self is writing out the answer. It may feel awkward at first, but keep writing. Soon the answers flow and the more you write, the more inspired you become.

The solutions will just flow through your mind, down your arm, out of your pen and onto the paper.
Give automatic or inspirational writing a try. Great inspiration often comes through with these methods. Who knows what will inspire you?

Clairvoyance is a French word meaning clear vision. This word is used to describe the ability to gain information other than through normal channels most people use to get information. In most cases, it refers to the ability to see things that occurred in the past or in the future and to see things that may be happening now, away from the Clairvoyant’s actual physical presence.

While sometimes a clairvoyant may simply get a flash of something that is happening, has happened or is about to happen, more often than not they receive their vision while in a trance.

How Does Clairvoyance Work ~

Unlike in all those movies and televisions shows where you see clairvoyants at work, clairvoyance does not always allow the clairvoyant to get a complete picture of an event. In most cases they may get a flash of a vision accompanied by a feeling.

For example they may see a house number and have a sense of celebration or fear that accompanies the vision but may be unable to see exactly what is going on inside the house to know what generated that feeling. In other cases the vision can be a complete picture of something such as a young boy blowing out the candles on a birthday cake or a car rushing to a young girl playing in the street.

Although most people doubt their abilities and police are reluctant to admit the use of Clairvoyants to help solve some cases, there have been such instances where information gained by clairvoyance has helped to solve crimes. However, as one Clairvoyant pointed out a clairvoyant cannot control what information or how much they receive.

In most cases they see something and can describe it and what they see may make sense to the person they are relating the vision to while having no meaning for the reader themselves.

Often times a clairvoyant’s vision can reassure a family member of a victim of an accident or crime that the victim died without pain or fear. Other times, they may see a future event that if acted on can be prevented.

Clairvoyants have helped people in the normal course of their lives simply by seeing something that gives the person hope or reassures them that a decision they made will turn out well in the future. In other cases a clairvoyant has seen a negative outcome in advance and a person has been able to change their path and avert the negative outcome from occurring.

While not all people who claim to have clairvoyant ability actually do, those who do have a true gift can help a person make difficult decisions about their lives, give comfort to those who are grieving and help people find some relief from things that are troubling them.

Sometimes their gifts can help solve major issues in a person’s life such as picturing the man who robbed you or the house you will one day buy. Sometimes their gifts help solve minor problems such as where grandmother’s antique broach will turn up or where those car keys you have been searching for really are.



I am glad that you are here, reading this, rather than watching the news about terrorism. Your internal compass is true, seeking peace or inspiration rather than distress. This does more for the world’s peace and well being than watching the news does.

What is Remote Viewing?

This is a sort of mind traveling. It would more correctly have been called, Remote Sensing. The experience is much like dreaming.

At the time, it seems real and includes more than just the visual sense. As an explanation, one might say that it includes the universal ability to imagine.

It is a process of thought, and has nothing to do with eyesight. Some people think that they are not good at visualizing.

But, if you ever day dream, or if you can picture what you had for breakfast, then you can do it. There is no special training necessary for this.

You learn to unlearn what your early teachers worked so hard to teach you. You knew how to day dream in class, and your teachers would tap your desk or the chalk board to bring your attention back to what they were talking about. Remote viewing takes you in the opposite direction.

Remote Viewing is a perceptual shift from your external reality to an internal stimuli that you didn’t previously pay attention to.

You will simply shift concentration from your external world to your internal world. In this, it is far easier than meditating where you attempt to clear your mind.

Boring tasks were sometimes used for the training of Remote Viewing specialists. This would tire out the conscious mind and make the thinking of the unconscious more easily available.

This distraction of the conscious mind is also sometimes used by the Silva Method and hypnosis. It is not an induced stage of altered consciousness.

This part of the mind can also be sought directly using hypnosis or meditation which allows the viewer to access it without the dual thinking. It does allow the viewer to pay attention to the subconscious mind which operates outside the bounds of time and space.

How do we Know that this is not Just Imagination, but Viewing?

The subconscious is easily available when an individual is operating in the Theta brainwave pattern.

The subconscious is always connected to the Universal Mind or Source/Divinity/One through the higher mind, just as the subconscious is always connected to your egoic conscious mind.

The knowledge is always there. One hour before the first plane struck the World Trade Center on September 11th, 2001, there was a great blip that showed on monitoring devices of the earth’s magnetism. It showed all around the earth because humans were picking up the stress or intention of the perpetrators.

We are all connected to each other, especially to those we know, but to all beings on this planet. When in Theta, a simple concentration on one’s thoughts after asking a question, will trigger a search of the Universal Mind, and an answer because all knowledge is there. This is the state one is in when dreaming.

This is the primary state of young children.

Trusting in the realities exposed when in Theta allows conscious remote viewing. All that is necessary is the removal of excessive rationalization by the egoic brain.

Remote Viewing has been used by many governments. It was used in the first Iraq war to find the locations of the Scud missiles.

More recently, one American SEAL, a special ops soldier in Iraq was using it to find danger on the road ahead. You can imagine how useful this would be.

He was able to choose safe routes for their missions and other groups would go out and find the IUD’s or snipers that they avoided.

He became so good at it that he learned to view the enemy and their intentions even before they placed the roadside bombs, or IUD’s. He is developing a training to teach soldiers how to do this during their basic training.

When will power and imagination are in conflict, imagination always wins. Take your mind to Theta; imagine yourself being successful in remote viewing, and it will become part of your reality.

Why spend money on a production line built scrying mirror, when you can make your own. You can make it to your own design – really make it your own. You could also give them away as gifts.

Here is how to do it:

Picture Frame – First you need to visit some second hand stores or garage sales to find yourself an old picture frame. It is best if it is dark in color as shiny frames have a tendency to reflect.. Whilst the condition of the frame is not so important you should ensure that the glass is in a very good condition. Check that it is clear and unscratched.

You do not want one too small or to large as you may want to carry it around with you at some point. It should be of a comfortable size to hold and carry. A frame of approximately 12″ diameter is a good size.

Paint – You need to buy a spray can of high gloss black paint. Check that it is suitable for use with glass as some of them are not. Remove the glass gently and give it a good clean with glass cleaner. Allow it to dry for a few hours and make sure that you handle the glass by the edges.

Creating your mirror – Lay out some old newspaper and gently place your clean glass on top. Again making sure not to touch the glass itself – only handling it by the edge. Spray the glass using a light gentle backward and forward motion until the glass is completely covered.

Make sure you do not let the paint run and if you are painting it outside (you should only use spray paints in a well ventilated area) then choose a day that is dry and not windy. You do not want any debris landing on your mirror! If possible try to completely cover the glass in the first coat – if you use more coats it can make flaws in the mirror itself. Leave it to dry for a good few hours until it is completely dry.

The frame – Whilst the glass is drying you can utilize your time by repairing, painting or decorating the original frame to your own design. When your glass is totally dry then reposition it in the frame. You now have a perfect scrying mirror – which is every bit as good as a purchased one and costs just a fraction of the price.

Next I shall write on, Scrying Techniques For Beginners…

The art and practice of Scrying is unique in form but very concrete concerning the desired result. What is meant by that is there are many methods that are all aiming at achieving the same thing. It is often referred to as “seeing with the mind.”

While scrying is often clumped together in terms of being categorized alongside Divination, Tarot Cards, Witchcraft, Magic, and things like that. It is different that its not an attempt to see the future, but interpret the now.

Scrying is adjusting consciousness to amplify your perception to see more of reality. The here and now. It is concerned with seeing beyond ordinary senses, and to see what ordinary physical senses cannot detect. There are a variety of techniques, actually too many to name here. This will cover the more common methods and those that are well known by most people.

It is important to mention that the art and practice of scrying can and should be a creative process. So take these suggestions and incorporate what feels right for you regarding how you achieve results. It should be tailored to you specifically, with the only requirement being results. What works for you works for you.

Scrying too is an old word for the practice of crystal-gazing or using some similar means to obtain clairvoyance used in Witchcraft. It is akin to the word “descry” which originally meant to reveal, as well as to discover by seeing.

Scrying is a more general term than crystal-gazing, because it embraces all forms of developing clairvoyance by gazing at or into some object. Witches use this in conjunction with their spells and rituals.

The object used in scrying is called a “speculum.” Throughout the ages, a great many different objects have been used for this purpose. The transparent crystal globe, with the use of which most people are familiar, is only one of a great variety of such specula.

The practice of scrying is common to witches of all ages and countries. Like magick in general, it is as old as man himself; and it is still as popular with contemporary witches as it was long ago.

There are many different modes and methods of scrying for beginners to choose from.

The focal point or scrying tool is usually an object with a shiny reflective surface such as a mirror, crystal, crystal ball, or a bowl of liquid. There are many different scrying techniques. It is even possible to use the sky for scrying.

The traditional and most popular method, and the best for method of scrying for beginners, involves using a reflective surface, usually a scrying mirror, in a dimly lit room. A scrying mirror is a special mirror that is made by painting one side of a glass pane black.

Usually, scrying mirrors are consecrated or imbued with psychic energy so as to help facilitate the proper energies for visions. Scrying mirrors are also usually surrounded by a decorative frame that is inscribed with relevant mystical symbols or images.

An important thing to keep in mind is that, just like any other divining instrument, the scrying mirror is merely a tool or rather a focal point for your own energy and ability. Using a scrying tool such as a mirror is a good way to develop and strengthen your psychic abilities.

The scrying mirror itself is of far less significance than the state of mind of the person scrying. If you have any negative emotions such as fear that have been left unchecked, then the visions that you have will readily reflect these.

One of the most important things about scrying for beginners to realize is that they are actually looking at their own energy that is being reflected back to them. This is true regardless of which scrying techniques that you are using.

It doesn’t even matter if you are using a reflective surface or not. When you are scrying properly, you are looking into a deeper part of yourself. You are viewing your own energy. Indeed, this is actually true of any psychic ability.

Because you receive psychic information through your own energy, it is immensely important that you make sure that energy is calm, positive, still, and pure. At the very core of psychic development, the most crucial and vital step is acknowledging and releasing all of the wasted energy that is perpetuated by the ego and the left brain.

By practicing and achieving meditative states on a daily basis you can find your own still point and awaken to the inner source that exists within you. Once you achieve this you can then apply any scrying techniques you choose with complete confidence.

Meditation and finding your inner calm along with releasing negative emotions not only helps with the information received through different scrying techniques. It also helps you to more accurately interpret the images or information that you receive while scrying.

This is vitally important because how you react emotionally to what you receive while scrying, dramatically affects the scrying session.

Negative emotions and reactions can impact the formation and stream of information that you are getting while practicing your various scrying techniques.

The act of scrying as well as any other form of psychic ability involves an interaction of energy on multiples levels including the emotional one. How you initially react to what you perceive greatly impacts the process and determines the outcome of the experience.

Scrying for beginners, as well as advanced psychics, can be a powerful and transforming experience. Regardless of which scrying techniques that you may choose, scrying is an excellent way to awaken yourself to other types of psychic ability.

Practicing scrying and daily meditation can help you to realize your psychic potential to a much greater degree.

If you apply these scrying techniques and suggestions properly you will certainly be well on your way to divining the future. And who knows? You might even become then next Nostradamus.

About using black mirror…

A black mirror is used in the same way that a crystal ball is used.

It’s purpose it to enable you to use your astral eyes to see images on it’s surface without the distraction of light refraction (in the case of a crystal) or reflections (in the case of a regular mirror).

It is also a very good way to see sprites if you are open enough.

1. What Is The Will?

The will is a fundamental attribute of the spirit; it is an aspect of the universal Fire element. As a quality, the will expresses itself only in the content or goal of the wish.

Most of us simply make an effort and wish to attain something, but we do not possess the right power to make that wish manifest. That is why we continue to wish. The power of the will is the quantity through which we achieve, produce, carry out and maintain what we aim for and what we wish for.

2. What Is Belief?

Belief is a quality. In general, its foundation is a particular belief, whether in the existence of God or of something else. The quantity of a manifested belief is a power that expresses itself in an absolute and unshakable conviction that what we believe in will positively become a reality.

Belief as a power is a complement; it is the organ that bears the impulsive part of the will. The manifested belief is the highest aspect of the Akasha principle.

2. Aspects Of The Intellect And Intelligence, Memory And Discernment.

The Ability To Recognize And Differentiate.

Intellect or intelligence is a fundamental attribute of the eternal spirit. It is an aspect of the universal Air element on the mental plane. Intelligence or intellect can be measured and is therefore quantitative. Through it we understand, recognize, differentiate, judge and remember everything. The quality of the intellect, intelligence, is the substance (content) which the intellect works on.

Generally, it has its physical seat in the chest, where the Air element is located and where it is at work. In accordance with Indian philosophy, the seat of the intellect, together with the will, is in the head, between the eyebrows, in the astral body.

Memory is an aspect of the intellect. Its quality is the substance (thoughts, events, pictures, impressions, perceptions etc.) which it draws from its reserves.

4. What Are Feelings, Life And Love?

Feelings, life and love are all aspects of the universal Water element as a fundamental attribute of the eternal spirit on the mental plane. Feeling is a quality that expresses itself in pleasant, unpleasant, ugly, pure and many other feelings. Its quantity, for example, is the aggregate of normal feelings which are controlled by the will, or passionate, uncontrolled, quick or very weak, hardly perceptible feelings.

It expresses itself on all planes depending on the content and the power of the effect. Life is the result of the work of the elements in the tetrapolar magnet on all planes.

The qualitative life reflects in a human being through polarized radiation of the elementary attributes. For the astral plane, Qualitative life expresses itself in the temporary (i.e. in a particular length of time)

a. in time and space on the material plane,
b. in space on the astral plane, and
c. in eternity, without time and space, on the mental plane.

Life expresses itself in any type of activity or movement that can be measured. Love is a universal law. In order to be recognized by His created beings, God divided Himself on His highest level of love into a plus and a minus.

This means that He divided everything created into something active and passive, positive and negative, through which an absolute, unalterable lawfulness came into existence. Love is quantity, because it can be measured. Through love we express our positive relationship for everything we like and love.

True love must be controlled by the will. Passions can originate from an uncontrolled love, which means passionate love, for example sexual love, which originates from a fiery sensual love, or an abnormal love of wealth, of animals, parents, children, husband or wife.

But it can also be the uncontrolled love for God Himself, as for instance among the mystics. Love controlled by the will protects us from any overwrought state, and we express our love, of whatever kind it might be, in a form that corresponds to our power and perception of what the object of our love deserves.

It is of course a foregone conclusion that we love our Creator above all. That is the highest, purest and mightiest love. The quality of love as an attribute expresses itself in its rays, in its polarity and in its various kinds.

5. What Is The Instinct Of Self-Preservation?

The instinct of self-preservation is the lowest aspect of the Akasha principle. It exists on every plane in accordance with circumstances and causes. Its power or quantity is that much greater the more the life of a human being is threatened, as for example in the case of fatal diseases, serious accidents, war and so on.

The value of the quality of the instinct of self-preservation lies in the wish to live as long as possible on the material plane. We may assign this instinct for self-preservation to the active attributes and powers whenever the person concerned applies it for noble purposes and to the negative attributes and powers whenever a person wants to prolong his life simply for egotistical reasons.

6. What Are Self-Consciousness And The “I” Consciousness?

Self-consciousness is a state in which we become conscious of who we are. This consciousness signifies that we identify ourselves in the mental sphere with the highest divine idea, with the eternal spirit that exists within us.

The “I” consciousness is a fundamental attribute of the spirit on the mental plane as an aspect of the universal Earth element. It is also a mirror of our active attributes. In the thought, its qualitative part appears to us as active.

The “I” consciousness contains all the fundamental attributes of the spirit, the Fire, Air and Water elements which are the will, intellect and feelings, love and life. It is effective in the entire body and as an energy; it is the quantitative part of the consciousness and is also contained in the blood. The consciousness of the cerebrum is located on the mental plane, in the mental body.

Besides sensations relating directly to the physical body, it is possible to sense a more subtle set of sensations relating to the etheric body. These sensations refer to vitality and health.

The etheric body is often encountered in the practice of pranayama, the control of breath. Concentrate for example on your hand. Imagine that with each breath you are breathing vitality directly into your hand.

As you practice you may be able to sense increased warmth, a feeling of gradually building pressure, different kinds of intensity of energy, and so forth.

Some of these sensations relate to the dilation of the blood vessels with increased warmth as the blood moves closer to the surface of the skin.

But there is again something more subtle occurring. In martial arts, it is quite common to learn how to move this vitality, chi, or ki to different parts of the body to enhance health and physical performance.

But vitality also has the four elements within it. Sometimes in martial arts, the practitioner focuses on weight and being grounded—the earth element. Sometimes the emphasis is on being light, being able to move quickly as if weightless.

Other times one focuses on fire and a rapid, forceful expansion of energy outward.
Perhaps the most difficult to imitate or teach in the martial arts is the element of water. The founder of Aikido was a great master of the water element but his personal style was nearly impossible to teach.

In some traditions of chi kung, the student learns to imitate a cloud or to flow like water through movements that are circling, spiraling, and curling with gentleness and grace, almost like moving slowly under water.

We can pursue the difference between the physical and etheric energies and sensations by imagining that the body is empty inside and filled with cool water. If you were immersed in an actual pool of water, you could imagine that the inside of your body has the same water that is surrounding it on the outside.

Etheric water is far more refined than physical water. It is the watery, fluid, or flowing aspect of vitality.

I focus on the vitality in my etheric body.

Again, I imagine my body is empty inside and that my awareness is only of vitality in its flowing, fluid aspect. What occurs is that I feel extremely relaxed. There is a sense of letting go and just being calm and at ease.

When I do this I am often reminded of floating in a tide pool next to the ocean that has a high salt content.

The body floats higher in the water almost as if the entire body is being supported, the tension dissolves, and there is total release.
