What Are the Base Numbers and How Can We Use Them

Many have noted the fact that early astronomers had the knowledge of numbers as concepts, but few have considered the significance of the “base number”, which is the real recurring phenomenon. The term “base number” refers to the numbers 1 through 9 only. Each has a metaphysical meaning, a meaning that goes beyond physical manifestation to the creative forces of thought. Is it possible to really understand the base numbers?

The Power of Word and Intent

1) Note Genesis 1 – In the Genesis creation story, allegorical as it is, the words “God Said” are repeatedly used. The emphasis is on “said” instead of created, thought or did. Why? From the void comes everything. Space is not empty and useless. Without space there could be no stars planets, galaxies and universes. Space is more analogous to God than any thing.

Why put so much emphasis on the Universal Laws?

In many of my books I have referred to the Universal Laws as “The Basis of the Study”. This is because the Universal Laws are the basis of any study of Self. How can one identify these Laws to the point of making application to the 13 Universal Principles of Success unless we can internalize them, recognize them in our life experiences These principles are an application of the Universal Laws to a level we can relate to. I have come to understand these principles to be the basis of the First Field of Knowledge, which is awareness of Self.

Self-Transformation for Success

We can begin the process of breaking the bonds of mechanical thinking and transforming our lives into a labor of love. Along with being happier we can be greatly rewarded once we recognize that there are certain universal principles which underwrite even the physical laws of nature. It is only meaningful to us if we can identify and verify these Universal Laws in own life experiences. Only then are we in the position to say, “I’ve been there and done that.” Only then is the experience and the knowledge truly ours.

Self-realization – A Verifiable Process

We either make a conscious decision as to where to focus our time and energy or we simply follow a traditional path which causes no ripples of conce with family and friends. Some may be brave enough to strike out on their own as searchers but wander around from one religion to another over many years. Almost always they are asked to have faith in someone or in ideas they cannot verify. There can be no more important work than the process of Self-discovery because such knowledge defines us. This is literally the canvass upon which we paint our lives.

The Universal Principles of Success Defined

These success principles I write about, teach and help people identify and verify are actually the Universal Laws of Life. Each has many facets like the face of a well cut diamond. Where do they come from? Who instituted or caused these Laws to be in effect? How do we know they are the framework of our existence? I can point you in the direction of the answers. What I can tell you of my experiences might inspire you to look to your own experiences but my experiences will not verify the Universal Laws for you.

What is the Secret to Success?

What are the pitfalls, fallacies and misconceptions that have to be overcome? In other words, what is the secret to success? There are literally hundreds of books that purport to provide the secret to success, however, when you analyze these books you will find that they are in one way or another stressing three points. They may emphasize one over the other. They may present them in different order and provide various explanations, but in one way or another they are saying: 1) You must know what you want. 2) You must design a plan to get what you wantr

The Source of the Success Principles

The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles was featured recently in the book, The Secret, but was originally published in 1910. Wattles spent his early years considering the laws of success and studying the great philosophers of the world. It is interesting that Napoleon Hill did the same thing later in Think and Grow Rich but used as his source the great titans of industry in America, the emerging economic giant.

13 Universal Principles of Success

What are the 13 Universal Principles of Success? What are the benefits of identifying and verifying these Principles? You do not have to accept what anyone says about these principles because for them to be real for you they have to be drawn from your own life experiences. You can say, “I have been there and done that.” The benefits of such a process of coming into harmony with the Universal Laws are life changing. Here is what anyone can expect from this exercise: The Universal Law of Beingr

How the 13 Universal Principles of Success Relate to Each Other

The Universal Laws are literally aspects of the Creative Force some call God. The 13 Universal Principles are a series of applications of the Laws to what we can understand as the Creative Process. We can begin to understand a great deal about ourselves and the Creative Process when we identify and verify them in our own life experiences. However, they are not easy to put into words except in the most simplistic terms. The methodology used most frequently by the Masters was little stories or allegories. In the Christian New Testament they are called parables.

Is There a Preimmant Principle Among the 13 Universal Principles?

Among the 13 Universal Laws can we say that one is more important than the others? Can anyone one of the invariant principles exist without the other? Certainly, there are groups and teacher of imperfect understanding that proclaim one is more important that the other. They claim one is primary and he rest subserviant to this primary principle.

Work on Self

What is the beginning and end of our work on Self? What can the individual do to begin the work on Self and take advantage of the roadmap left by the Great Masters. How do we access this higher thought which has such transforming power? How do we begin the process of transcendence and benefit by the pure potentiality that comes from harmony and balance? These are all important questions for the individual who now understands the import of Revelation.

The Heart of the Ancient Teachings

A Practical Approach to the Universal Principles The Spiritual I.V.

In numerous essays, classes and books I address what I call the spiritual I.V., the necessity of identifying and verifying the Universal Principles in our life experiences. In other words, the stress is on the personal conscious recognition from your own experiences as opposed to blindly accepting tradition or faith in what someone else says their experience has been.
