Numerology
Numerology is the divination of your path and personality by assigning a value to each letter in your name and totalling up the numbers. There are 3 main divisions of numeric systems; the Pythagorean, the Hebrew and the Hebraic. Each table has it's own benefit so it is up to the user to decide which is best suited to their needs. Also it is a fun way to get some understanding of self and of purpose. Click here to view the three different numeric system tables.
The resulting numbers are the Digital number, the Heart number and the Personality number. The Digital number is the essence of the person and the driving force behind their life but it must be balanced and examined under the numbers of the heart and personality. The Heart number is an indicator about the inner person as they wish themselves to be and can include secret aspirations. The Personality number is how the rest of the world views this person.
To obtain the Digital number add all of the values for all letters of the name together and reduce to a single number.
To obtain the Heart number add all of the vowel values together and reduce to a single number.
To obtain the Personality number add all of the consonant values together and reduce to a single number.

Soapstone
Christmas is fast approaching and we are seeing more and more that we are drifting further away from the meaning of Christmas. When did it become so important that whatever "Aunt Susie" or "Uncle John" gave to one they had give to all the others? How can you compare the love that someone holds for you in their heart to a dollar figure?
We have forgotten that Christmas is a time for family and community, and a time to share the bounty of the fall. It is a time to celebrate community in which we live, the family that supports us through the events of our lives and friends that come and go from our lives like the seasons. It is a time to watch the Earth take time to slumber and rest and for us to follow her example. Also, Christians will also celebrate the birth of Christ; however it isn't enough just to celebrate His birth, we have to reawaken what He taught, and it was taught by all the great masters not just by Christ. We are all interconnected, that we are all Divine children and that we need to stay connected with those who are important to us.
I ask that this year, you make a vow for yourself and your family to be more connected to your own God-centres, to our Divine Parents, to enjoy the simple abundance given to us each and every day. Make this your reality this Christmas so that it may follow you and give you support and so you know that you are never alone.
May the Father and Mother God keep you and bless you all this Christmas.
"I am beholding through the eyes of all. I am working through all hands. I am walking through all feet. The brown, white, olive, yellow, red, and black bodies are mine."
"I am thinking with the minds of all, I am dreaming through all dreams, I am feeling through all feelings. The flowers of joy blooming on all heart-tracts are mine."
"I am eternal laughter. My smiles are dancing through all faces. I am the waves of enthusiasm in all God-tuned hearts."
"I am the wind of wisdom that dries the sighs and sorrows of all humanity. I am the silent joy of life moving through all beings."
by Paramahansa Yogananda "Metaphysical Meditations"
"I will prepare for the coming of the Omnipresent baby Christ by cleaning the cradle of my consciousness, now rusty with selfishness, indifference, and sense attachments; and by polishing it with deep, daily, divine meditation, introspection and discrimination. I will re model the cradle with the dazzling soul qualities of brotherly love, humbleness, faith, desire for God-realization, will power, self-control, renunciation, and unselfishness, that I may fittingly celebrate the birth of the Divine Child."
