Soul Number Summary
The Soul Number provides us with information about the qualities of an individual's mind
. This includes their desires, capabilities, possibilities and limitations.
The Soul Number is our
plane of mindand highlights theindividualityof the person.
The Appearance Number, sometimes referred to as the Outer Self, is not of any real significance. The Appearance Number is simply someone appears to others.
The Expression Number provides us with information on how someone expresses their Soul
. Someone, as an example, with a 1–6–7 birthpath (or name), will be quite creative but have difficulty explaining their ideas except in written words. The 7 is how they express their 1 soul.
Carefully study this information as ultimately it helps you understand your SELF
. Yantra Yoga, is after all, primarily a self–study.
No number is better or worse than another. Each has its own pros and cons. What is important, however, is that the first name have the same vibration as the birthpath so the positive qualities shine brightest.
Saint John: Chapter 1.
God is the Word, and the Word is God. It is therefore said that the intelligence of theGodmanifests through language.
