Musings:
When is the last time that you gave thanks for a particularly challenging
problem. How long has it been since you either mentally or verbally thanked a
very obnoxious person for being in your life. Can you appreciate someone who
steals from you or who talks bad about you behind your back?
The Bible admonishes us, "in everything give thanks" (I Thessalonians 5:18.)
Some would interpret this idea to mean that we should keep a thankful heart in
spite of the conditions of our lives. This interpretation certainly has merit.
But I think that there is a deeper meaning.
Each of us is connected at the subconscious level. Our inner selves contract
with the inner selves of those people who come into our lives. We have, at a
deep level, invited that cheat or abuser to play a role for us, because we had a
lesson to learn from that experience. When we have learned the lesson, we no
longer need that type of person around us, so we no longer send out a casting
call for that character. We continue to find someone to play that role as long
as it is required for our soul's completion.
Since these characters have consented to play the role that we required of them,
it is appropriate to thank them for being willing to provide for our growth.
This same idea holds true for circumstances. Financial lack, ill health and
disasters also play their role. We will stay in these circumstances as long as
the lesson of that circumstance is yet unlearned. We will release these negative
contracts as soon as we accept what they have to teach us, and not a minute
sooner.

A Bit of Philosophy
A period of prosperity is no more a matter of course than a crisis. It has its
beginning in some specific combination of circumstances. It takes its rise from
some traceable favorable disturbance of the course of business. In such a period
the potent fact which serves as incentive to the acceleration of business is a
rise in prices. This rise of prices presently becomes general as prosperity
progresses and becomes an habitual fact, but it takes its start from some
initial disturbance of prices. That is to say, prices rise first in some one
industry or line of industries.

Scribner's Sons, 1904.

Forbes Billionaires
Forbes's Magazine recently came out with its list of the wealthiest people, all
of them billionaires. Of course, Bill Gates was on top again by a considerable
margin, followed by Warren Buffet, with billions less.
Some of the prior year inclusions dropped out or were surpassed, such as Martha
Stewart.
This list is dynamic, but generally the same people maintain a place on the
list. If you follow the list for a period of years, you will find that the drop
outs often occur because of a scandal or a disaster of some type. Some of these
drop offs never recover their position because of legal entanglements or a total
erosion of their means. Others are right back up very quickly.
What makes the difference? It would appear to be a mind set and an understanding
of how to attract money. It is the intent to be wealthy coupled with knowledge.
Once a person has been at this level it is much easier to imagine being back at
that level. Someone who has never achieved these heights will not be able as
easily to visualize this degree of wealth.
Forbes gives us a golden opportunity to look at the numbers of the ultra
successful. What do the numbers of these people have in common? What
distinguishes them. In a prior article
we briefly analyzed Bill Gates numbers. You will find that on the surface the
numbers are not wildly different from many other charts. His success came from
how he used the energies available to him. Perhaps the element that would be
most striking to most people is that Bill Gates is not motivated by money.
For someone who has the time to dig out the birth names and birth dates of each
of the listees, certain patterns would emerge that might give us a picture of
success. In the early part of the 20th Century, Napoleon Hill for twenty years
studied the wealthiest business leaders. He gained access to interview these
people through Andrew Carnegie. The results of his study were written in a book
called "Think and Grow Rich." This book has had a tremendous impact. Just about
everyone who aspires to greater achievement has a copy of this book.
Napoleon Hill made his comparisons and analyses from interviews. Could we get a
more accurate picture from the Numbers? In order to find what the numbers can
teach us about high achievement, we need to approach the study with an open
mind, Like a scientist in the laboratory, when we begin the experiment, we don't
know what we will find. Preconceived notions will distort the findings and the
value of the study.
An example of a surprise is in the numbers of Mother Teresa. In one of my
classes we decided that we would like to know the numbers of a saint. We
expected to find saintly numbers; numbers that would show a lot of spiritual and
psychic interest and ability. Instead we found very earthbound energies. Her
numbers pointed more strongly to a prostitute than to a saint. Her earth plane
numbers were in keeping with her emphasis. She is not known for her scholarly
dissertations or her pious words. She was a doer. Her mission was to bring
improvement into the lives of people, often through taking audacious action.
The conclusion seems to be that much of our success in life is determined by
using the supporting energies to accomplish our purpose in life. Two people with
the same life path could each choose to go in an opposite direction, yet each
will find support in the numbers, and each will be on his or her appropriate
path. To decipher the likelihood of the choice you must consider the total
chart, not just the life path number.
