The Numerology of Years

How to Succeed in a 3 Year

Lecture based Questions:

1. What are the hallmarks of a 3 year?

Roller coaster-like emotional moments and dramatic events usually make up a 3 year. It and other odd-numbered years challenge your complacency. Expect the unexpected and be glad that you will learn a lot about flexibility, adaptation, and alertness.

2. Which behaviors should we attempt to avoid during this year?

Indulgence will be caught with its pants down. Avoidance will be exposed. Bad habits will obstruct you. Manipulating others will alienate you. In other words, it’s a good year to keep your fingers and toes inside the compartment and hold on to the safety bar for the duration of the ride.

3. Which behaviors should we encourage in ourselves this year?

Outward focus instead of self-absorption is the key to success this year. Be prepared to learn a lot about yourself and about the world. You might be required to change addresses or jobs or out of your comfort zone. These are all good things, although they can be stressful to the body. So, take extra care with rest and nourishment.

4. Is there more than one approach to success for this year? Who stands to win greatest rewards?

The greatest rewards are spiritual. If you play the game right, you will feel wiser and more capable than you did last year. On a material level, the entrepreneurs who traffic in buying and selling businesses at key financial moments will profit by their expert transactions.

5. Are 3 years intended to teach us a specific skill or quality?

Patience, confidence, endurance, perception, adaptability, empathy, and discernment are a few of the virtues and skills you might learn this year, because the events in your life will be uncertain and often challenging.

6. Exercise: Surrendering the Paradigm

What we desire, what others desire for us, what our families have imposed upon us, what our society has burdened us with are all feeding into the gigantic crystallized thought form of your self-image and your present circumstance. When the thought form becomes larger and more powerful than your personal energy, you become slave to the paradigm and victim to the world as you perceive it.

One may remove oneself from the physical location of family and society, but most of the paradigm remains with the individual as a karmic challenge.

The most effective and permanent method of change and improvement over one’s quality of life is to release the thought form from all ties with self and to change the elements of expectation. What we expect is what we receive in the most basic level of energy. When we open the opportunity for Divine Interpolation, then events intrude in our lives that give rise to improved states of consciousness and lifestyle.

1) Heap up all the energies of your present life (the energy you spend to maintain it, the energy you use to resist it, the energy you exert to push it into a desired direction) into a mountain of incense. Ignite it with a blue flame of deep blue in the center and brighter blue in the outer area.

2) As the incense burns away into ascending smoke, say the following:

•Let my existence now express the intention of my soul.

•Let my days and nights now fulfill the Divine Pattern of the Perfected Life.

•Let my thoughts, words, and deeds now and always channel the Divine Energy of Harmony and Order.

•Beyond my understanding, beyond my imagination, beyond my experience, Divine Blessing now pours into my life with such magnitude that the physical world is changed utterly into a much better place for everyone and everything.

•Through Grace and Divine Order, let the word now be fulfilled.

3) All the incense has burned away.

A light shines before you, and with increasing clarity you see that it is an intricate form of golden beauty and power. This is the Divine Design of your life. Reach out your hand and take it. Claim it.

The Divine Design melts into your hands and infuses itself into your body. Feel the changes taking place within you at a cellular level. This is the Divine Destiny of your being.

7. Draw or describe one of your helpers.

Try this: ask for a helper to come forward and commune with you right now, and then write down your impressions.

A Thrill Ride to Remember

The Law of Structure

The greatest asset for this year is your already developed inner structure and discipline. You may further cultivate this strength in small and facile ways, such as a short physical exercise in the morning (if nothing else, a gluteal exercise routine will increase the base chakra), saying Grace before eating a morsel of food, balancing your checking account each month, creating a tiny shrine somewhere in your home, chanting, or reading a sentence or two each day from an inspiring source. Each time you are consistent in your efforts, you lay a solid brick in building your personal mansion. Large bricks are not necessary at this point in your construction.

Why is inner discipline so important during the events of a 3 year? The answer applies to one of the basic laws of the universe. We call it the Law of Structure. Form always is present in any life or situation. It is part of the force that binds materials together. It holds chaos at bay; it prevents complete entropy in the cosmos.

The framework of your life is also ever-present. It exists with or without your knowledge, consent, or design. There are two types of energies within this phylum—patterns that emerge from within the nature of a person and boundaries that are imposed upon the person from karmic and universal forces.

The amount of structural energy is constant whether it comes from you or from outside. You choose where the lattice of power is applied in your life. The older the Soul, the greater is the substance of configuration. So you see, you either wield the power or it wields you. It’s your decision.

There are two reasons why we approach this expression of nature in small ways. The Seventh and Fifth Rays are better acquainted with the benefits of this route. Everyone must perfect the skill of it sooner or later.

First, these minute efforts of consistent behavior are low in energy expenditure. They do not require gargantuan crusades of will power. They do not need long planning phases. They only call for a short repetition of action on a daily basis. This seemingly insignificant set of behaviors amasses a collective potency that is profound and impressive. It affects events in your life that do not seem to be related. It liberates you from external impositions of rigid schedules and emergencies. It transforms your preferences and your movements.

Second, the path of small accumulations is a universal path of accomplishment. It teaches many lessons of advanced character and self-knowledge. It increases confidence in one’s ability. It creates a vortex of creative energy for opportunity, supply, and peacefulness. One must trod the path to understand all the hidden benefits of this way, and one must go this way in order to achieve perfection. The daily choices of the small victory become second nature to the Adept.

Expansive Awareness

Foresight and insight will help you to weather the storms of change and extreme events. You have a little experience under your belt; you can see trouble brewing ahead. Your Guardian Angel is urging you to take steps to prevent it or to avoid it. Listen to the still, small voice and prepare for what is coming. If you choose to ignore her, you can only regret your inertia. The world is not a place for resting from or dodging progress. You cannot hide from the zeitgeist. Be the captain of your fate rather than the oars-slave.

The formula is simple. At the first sign of disharmony, take action. The word proactive was very popular a few years ago, and this is what pertains to it. Your choice of action can range from inner to outer effort. You may choose to daily affirm the success of a teetering business. You may investigate your possibilities for the next phase in your life. You may prepare to move to a different home or job. Whatever your choice, always dedicate your deed to Divine Will to insure that you are in harmony with the Divine Plan of your life.

“Clarification constantly takes place in my mind and leads me to the answers. Any problem is divinely outmatched in my triumphant life.” (Joseph Murphy)

Adaptability

Shake off any complacency or expectation that may hold you. Think of yourself as resilient and flexible—like a spiritual acrobat able to leap over trip wires and somersault over barriers. The challenge of this year is a test of agility and progressive intention.

Keep Your Head Down

The lathe shaves off anything that sticks out. A great deal of time and energy might be wasted if you pursue recognition this year. Not only would you be disappointed, but you would be hounded and persecuted should you stand in the limelight. Do not directly strive for the temptations of fame or fortune—allow them to knock on your door. Practice the art of invisibility. Do not talk about yourself or encourage people to praise you. The nail that sticks up will be hammered down.

This year exercises the Law of Equilibrium. The high are humbled and the lowly are raised up. Keep your dynamics even and level and you will avoid the energy that flattens.

Decrease and Increase

Decrease that which does not enhance your life so that you may attract that which will. There is a set amount of abundance in your life at your level of personal power. You may control where this abundance is active by ridding yourself of that which is cumbersome. Other blessings will automatically flow to you as a result of the vacuum. You can control what the blessings are through prayer and affirmation. This is a continual life work, but this year the results can be dramatic.
