HO E VER realizes hi mself as an indi vid

from cradle to grave by seen and un
seen forc e s no doubt has pondered upon at
,
l e ast tw o vital questions —Why am I here ?

,
Wh y must I fill a place in life which appears

so crowded with mistakes I “
You know there must be a first cause for the

.
individuality you are expressing You k now.
you are a soul in a body walk ing the earth and

holding communication with lik e beings of l im
i ted memories .
w The Bible teaches us that at the end of the

seventh period Creation ceased If thi s be true
. ,
where have you been during this long dim p ast

between Creation s dawn and the present tim e ?
’
The place is of minor importance in comparison

with what you have been doing since G od sent
out your soul as a ray of the D ivin e holding ,
within its vibration the ideal of becoming a per

fe et character .
In the course of ages Christ c ame to show

us wh at a perfect character should be and every
,
conscious atom holds in latency the desire to

10 TH E P H I L OSO P H Y OF N U M BERS
become perfect To reach thi s stat e of p erf ec
.
tion it is necessary to battl e sturdi ly with the

earth currents and to go through e xperiences of
all ki nds , un til the man becomes a perfectly
rounded and dev eloped individual .
It is of li ttle importance what kind of bo di es

your sou l formed for itself when crossing the
d i ff erent s p ans of life for its d esire was a lways
,
to grow into a perfect who l e ; whi ch means a

perfect embodiment a perfect soul , and when
,
perfect, the Spirit acknowledg es i t as being one

with G o d .
Earth li fe may be li k ene d to a chil d who is

sent to a store for a loaf of bre ad, sugar and
fl our. H e comes back bringing the brea d but
havin g forgotten the flour and su g ar H e must .
return again an d again to some state unti l he

compl etes hi s who l e errand successfu lly .
Some souls are laggards an d ar e s l ow in

doin g the work th eir higher part chos e for them ,
when they were freed from earth s dust A t thi s

’
.
time they kn ew wi th the sure knowl e dge of the

Spirit A s the ideal within the soul is a lways
.
to grow into a p erfect character, the place was

chosen on the physical plane best suited to ad
v ance the sou l in the lessons most needed .
Wh en the indi v idual after coming to earth

, ,
yie l ds to the l ower earth currents and i s n ot

li vi ng at hi s hi ghest, a constant and perv adi ng
Y OU R FI RST B I RT H 11
feeling of unrest is ever present with hi m until ,
at last tu rning within he finds in his higher self

,
the true source of peace and happiness Wh en .
the higher self is recogni zed all the harmoni e s

emerge Thi s self holds all the secrets of the
.
p ast the present and the future Wh en we live

, .
as we will some time live when w e know the ,
physical and the spiritual law as one then w ill ,
w e cease to grope bli ndly for our path will be

,
illum ined from the light withi n .
When the conscious soul decides upon an

earth life wi th the eye of the Spirit it choo ses
,
that vibration in which to cross the span of lif e

whi ch holds the experiences it wishes to meet
and overcome The D ivi ne stores the stren gth
.
of its victories in its soul forces and these we ,
term strength of character or soul growth O nly .
those acts whi ch hav e in some way benefited

humanity will find a plac e in the vibration of
the soul for it will accept only the good and
,
tru e Thus a hum an life may appear to be a

.
failure and yet the soul wi ll crown it for the

growt h it has made .
Wh en a soul decid e s again to enter upo n

another work day of life in which to am end
some weakness of character it t ak es upon itself,
a mystical substance called the body with whi ch

to st r uggle with e arth s vi brations If in any

, ,
the chi l d who did not do hi s e rrand well he re ,
turns to his home having gained but li ttl e of

that which he came to seek ; not having made
strong vibrations nor gained stren gth of char
acter,
Unlik e the body the soul will not masquer

ade an d will express only the t r uth so that when ,
coming to this world it will be kn own by its own

vi bration which r e presents th e moral strength
it has earned in the past I t seeks parents and

.
is born und e r natural law holdi ng po sitions in,
life from which it wishes to learn some needed

lesson Upon some one point the parent and
.
child must vibrate tog e ther This must be true .
o r there would be no point of attraction between

th e m Th e chi ld s soul seek s the soul love of
.
’
the parent the soul of the parent see k s the soul

,
love of the child There may be an antagonism

.
u p on the physical plan e but the high e r self has

,
called them together .
The most important point for the child i s

the time it comes to earth A s it comes of its .
own accord it chooses the place it needs either

to gratify its am bition or to work in a limited
sphere .
Your soul or higher self chose the position

in life you are filling or should fill and there is ,
no vibration or number a soul can choo se that

X UUK I ‘
l KD l D LK l n
is not sufficient for true happiness Each vibra .
tion must be filled acceptably or you will retu r n

until you h ave successfully done your errand .
You sel e cted your time of birth when cer

tain constellations or planets were sending forth
their own colors so you s e lected your own colors
,
through which to make the j ourney of life and

were born in month day and year in whi ch the
,
color you desired was in the atmosphere The .
first obj ectiv e breath you drew was filled wi th

your own color and their force and thi s color ,
should surround you through life When all .
its secrets have been revealed to you it will ex

press itself i n vibr ation of name thus telli ng of ,
a j ourn e y made in the past a cycl e earned -

.
The child holds within its soul the k nowledge

of its past experienc e s and when a babe it has
almost the same strength of soul as a grown
man
Not until the Trinity of Body Soul and ,
Spirit are attuned to earth life can the b eing

fully reali ze what life holds Th e more per .
f ectly an e mbodiment is adjusted to the earth

vibration the more s uccessfully can it do the
,
work of i ts higher self .
When a name is to be given to a chi ld it

must vibrate to the exact soul growth attained .
The soul will not masquerade The intellect .

14 TH E P H I L OSO P H Y OF N U M BERS
mav desire to advance itself but not until a ,
growth is gained will the soul allow the state

ment to be made Thousands of names bear al
.
most the same vibration as a whole yet have ,
dif f erent forms such as John an d S arah both of ,
whi ch vi brate to 2 yet one denotes a man and

,
the other a woman and the vowels are different

,
So a child s soul arises at the appro ach of bap

’
ti sm and silently infl u en ces its parents and

guardians to a name expressing the vi bration of
the growth of its higher se lf This accounts for
.
the many changes of name even at the altar

r ail The nam e shows the past growth of the
.
indivi dual and by carefully studying the num

ber vibration you can catch glimpses of the -
struggles and victories of the past ages By .
studying the birth number vibration of present

life you can see what the in di vidual wi shes to
gain in this incarnation Wh en he succeeds
.
either consciously or unconsciously he will

change his n am e in some w ay to show the
strength of character gained in this li fe Some .
have come to work to win ; others to repair

weak points to do over work improperly done
,
in the past .
If we believed the soul had its beginn ing in

thi s present body we would have to be li ev e in
its end We are one with the D ivine hav e lived
