Personality Created by Our Names versus Our Inner Nature
Although the Kabalarian Philosophy recognizes that our names create our personality, it also teaches that we can use the Mathematical Principle to measure our inner nature or our purpose in life through the month, day, and year of our birth. What is the relationship between this inner purpose and the mental traits created by our names and understood as our personality?
The month, day, and year represent a mathematical measurement of time when we took our first breath and activated our connection to life. As long as we keep breathing, we maintain that connection to life. When we apply the Mathematical Principle to the calendar measurement of our birth, we discover the mathematical qualities that are intrinsically linked to us throughout our life. These mathematical qualities represent a conscious potential to develop during our lifetime. We call this measurement the birthpath.
Each of the units of measurement, month, day, and year, have their specific influence but the total of all three reduced to a single digit represent a path in life we should consciously develop. Unfortunately, most people remain unaware of this inner potential. For those of you who have received the free Name and Birth Date Report, you have already read a summary of your birthpath. (For those of you who have not received this report, there is a link to the order form at the conclusion of this article.)
Mind is not seeded into the newborn. The mind is created by the names the parents have chosen and given to the baby. We can think of names as that part of the language that we have identified with an individual. Over time, as the baby develops, names play a significant role in shaping his or her personality.
And so, we have two distinct measurements: the inner purpose or birthpath created by the calendar measurement of the birth and the outer nature or personality created by the names. What is the relationship? We say the birthpath inclines, but the names compel the actions of one’s life. The names can be translated into mathematical name formulas which will describe both the mental qualities that the person is tuned to and the mental qualities through which they express, irrespective of their birthpath.
To understand how the names can restrict the expression of one’s inner purpose, we have to discuss the mathematical nature of names. Names can be mathematically in harmony or mathematically out of harmony with the birthpath. Names can create very intelligent minds but express internal disharmony. What we call an unbalanced name has nothing to do with the term of being mentally unbalanced, which is a deranged state of mind, but it does mean that an unbalanced name is restricted mathematically and cannot properly express the full conscious potential of one’s purpose.
For example, the name of Peter creates a very independent mind, where they can be positive in their opinion, determined and persevering in their efforts. Although there are many fine qualities in this name, we would consider it an unbalanced name. The weaknesses of this name are that Peter lacks tact, prone to being argumentative, sarcastic, candid, and blunt. They lack verbal expression, especially in handling delicate matters. They tend to be self-centred and selfish. This name will create health problems in the head, such as poor eyesight, sinus troubles, headaches, loss of hair, poor teeth, or ear and throat troubles.
If their inner nature or birthpath, as measured by their birthdate, is to understand the heart and mind of others so as to create harmony and cooperation, we can see how the compelling qualities of the name override the inclination of the birthpath to create harmony and peace, to minimize conflicts. As mentioned earlier, the name is the compelling force, creating the quality of one’s mind. The birthpath only inclines, being an inner potential that is to be developed consciously.
What names will allow the inner nature proper development? Balanced names are names that are intrinsically balanced and will allow the birthpath a natural expression. Of course, because most people are unaware of this Principle, unbalanced names are the norm in society today. In many cultures in the past, the importance of the naming ceremony indicated that this wisdom may have been better understood.
We can think of the birthpath as a universal quality of Consciousness that is seeded within us. It is something that must be cultivated into a constructive power through an understanding of principles of mind. To apply these principles, a balanced name can be an important first step. However, becoming more aware of the laws of mental evolution as taught in the Kabalarian Philosophy will give you greater insight into this important topic.
