Thomas Alva Edison Invents Himself
(These articles highlighting men and women who have had high
achievement in business allow us to take a glimpse at the
underlying
energies and how they applied these numbers to their business
interests. I trust that the example is helpful to your own
application of the numbers. In some instances the path of the
business is directly reflected in the numbers. In other
instances we can see success in spite of counter-balancing
numbers.)

General Electric Corporation

Integrative Vision 22/4
With a 16/7 Expression we would expect Thomas Alva Edison to be
a seeker. He was a student of those things that he enjoyed
studying, but he could not fit into the discipline of school and
the assigned course of study. It was necessary that what he
studied that he learn it in depth. With a 14/5 personality, he
was extremely curious and learned from hands-on experience.
Added to these traits was the 11/2 birth day and soul urge,
which gave him an increased intuitive dimension. His legendary
persistence comes from the 40/4 integrative vision number.
We can see the patterns of his life in the numbers of the chart.
Although he was so absorbed by his work, home and family life
were also important to him. This is shown by his great love for
his wife. Her death was difficult for him, but the home
influence was so fulfilling (6 life path) that within a couple
years he again married.
His inventiveness was enhanced by his unique view of the world.
He could see solutions where others may not even see the
problem. His keen analytical mind took in data from observation
and from intuitive input and created something new. His master
level energy gave him remarkable insights. His willingness to
explore these impulses caused him to come up with a record
number of patents in a wide variety of fields. We all owe him a
great debt for the improved quality of our lives.
Throughout the course of his career he started and controlled a
number of different companies, but his lasting legacy is in the
General Electric Corporation. He was a major shareholder and the
guiding hand to bring it to its present greatness. The numbers
of this corporation suited him well. This compatibility again
shows the importance of matching numbers for a long term
commitment to a business. Too much conflict leads to early
burn-out.
This corporation rearranges the basic energies from Edison's
personal chart, but fits like a glove. Edison's 40/4
integrative vision number is replaced in the corporation with a
22/4 which is the master builder. The master level integrative
vision number requires that this business be dominant in its
field, that it be global in scope and that it provide a positive
gain to society. In spite of the ups and downs that any major
business will experience, this corporation has solid support in
the numbers for continued growth as long as it maintains a
strong research and development arm. (16/7 birthday and 16/7
personality). Honesty and integrity in its dealings are vital.
(13/4 soul urge and 22/4 integrative vision number)
Is it any wonder that Edison felt at home with this business and
propelled it to prominence?
