The
Power of a
Name
©
Kabalarian Writings
The value of a name has
long been immortalized in prose, poetry, the Bible, and
religious ceremony. Everyone recognizes himself
according to his individual name. The importance
and the influence of a person's name has been the
subject of controversy for years with critics often
quoting, "A rose by any other name would smell as
sweet," as if roses were people with individual
qualities of intelligence. The question is, how does a
name influence a person's character?
Let us consider what a
name is. It is the grouping of several symbols which, when used, represent the
identification of a person or an object.
The one thing that
separates humankind from the animal kingdom is mind,
which has the ability to reason on a conscious
level. To think consciously, we must use language. This point is not
generally appreciated but it is vitally important.
It is impossible to think without language. What
allows language to serve in this manner? It is the
fact that language is symbolized in some definite way, in
a definite mathematical sequence, i.e., in the English
alphabet, "A" is always in the first position,
"B", in the second position, and so on.
Any alphabet is an alphabet because set symbols are
recognized by their sound in a definite
order--change the order and confusion results.
There is more than just
sound, shape, and position to the symbols of language. What is it
that language expresses? Is it not conscious intelligence? Is not intelligence a mental
power? Do we not learn through education, using
language, to develop intelligence, which is recognized as
mental growth and the individuality of the personal
mind.
The link between
conscious intelligence, human mind, language, and the mathematical
order of the symbols of language is the key to measuring human mind
and solving the major problem of mental discord and
imbalance.
A simple analogy is the
piano. Every string when struck emits specific
sound vibrations.
Each string is different according to a
mathematical law which gives the gradations in tones. Each note is a step in the scale, and using
these notes a musician can blend the sounds into harmony
or create a discord.
Similarly, names can
blend conscious forces to create mental harmony or
mental discord. Music is recognized as following a mathematical relationship in sound
energies. The individual notes, although important,
are not the music. Music is a sound energy that is expressed when activated by the keys. If the
keys are not used, there is no music. A melody can
be played on numerous instruments that express the same
musical intelligence via a different medium. In
the same way intelligence is universal and can be
expressed via the medium of many different
languages. The thought that, "The sky is
blue," can be conveyed in as many languages as exist. Yet the thought remains abstract until
expressed through language.
Therefore, conscious intelligence
is a universal power that is limited according to the
medium of expression. Languages with more
extensive alphabets allow a greater diversity in the
shades of meaning to be conveyed. Languages with
alphabets having only a few symbols lack the capacity to express
conscious intelligence as freely and easily as languages
with many
more symbols. Compare this with one piano with
three octaves of notes expressing a range of music to
another piano of ten or more octaves of notes.
What a difference!
In considering the
influence of a name, what is important is the power of
intelligence that expresses through the
symbols comprising the names. Similar to the gradations in
sound energies in the scale of music, there is a scale
in conscious power known as qualities of intelligence
that express as an invisible energy known as mental
power.
There are nine gradations
in the scale of conscious expression: concisely
they are: individuality, diplomacy, artistic
expression, technical detail, analytical research,
responsibility, philosophical depth of thought,
organization, and universal love and
understanding.
When the Principle is
understood, a name can be changed to alter the forces of
intelligence expressing through the person to
conform to a harmonious pattern and to assist changing the
person's nature to one of greater
balance and happiness. What's in a
name?--everything. What's in your name?--you.

True
Love
© Tonnae Hennigan
Beauty is in the eye of
the beholder. A day may be sunny and warm, the flowers
blooming, the birds singing, life growing and pulsating;
and yet, although they may be vaguely aware of it,
millions of people do not truly experience the beauty of
the day, and are not warmed and lifted by it. Each is so
involved in his own little world of worries, concerns,
and plans that the mind does not reach out to discover
what life is really all about.
We all know, from
experience, that a sunny disposition really creates a
sunny day, and all the beautiful things in our
day-to-day lives become very evident when we are happy
and generous in our attitude. It demonstrates the
creative power of our own minds and proves the
fundamental law in life of action and reaction.
The universal power
within every person represents his own special link to
beauty, love, and happiness. No one is denied the
opportunity; each individual has the same chance, is
given a potential to unfold, a link to the allness and
infinity of life.
What we must come to
realize is that all in life that we
desire--material success, loyal friends, depth of mind,
a purpose for living, and true love (in whatever
order)--all these things are rewards for our
efforts put forth and cannot be found by racing around
from experience to experience, by concentrating on
selfish desires and thinking only about "What I
want," or "Where I am going." It is like
that person who is so wrapped up in himself that he
fails to see the beauty of the day. We become so
involved in self and its never-ending demands that the
true beauties of life pass us by.
Everyone wants to be
loved, to feel needed and cared for. So often this
desire leads to hasty decisions in the search for
security and love. Such a beautiful quality as love must
first be created within the individual's mind; it must
become a part of one's day-to-day life through generous
thoughts of others, through kind and considerate
actions, and through constructive, clean living. The
main thing is not "Who loves me?" but "How
can I give my love to life?" As each person
learns how to give, not necessarily to people only, but
in service to life, he or she will find that love is a
constant companion, but (surprise, surprise!) it is not
tall, dark, handsome, or pretty. Personal
friendships and marriage are only expressions of the
power of love that a person has generated within his
life. Each individual must find his or her own true love
through learning how to give and express the highest,
most intelligent part of his being.
The most beautiful things
in life are still out there waiting to be discovered,
not through experiencing, but through thinking,
analyzing, and discovering. Most of us are living in a
cloudy day in the sense that there is so much more
beauty, depth, and love in life than we are even
remotely aware of, at present. Mind is our gateway.
Through constructive thoughts and actions, and through a
sincere and humble attitude we will learn to discover
all of the true beauties in life, to bend down and smell
the roses in the garden, and bask in the sunshine of
truth.

ROGER, OLIVER, LAWRENCE, FAIRBANKS, O'BRIEN,
MADELINE, MARCIA, BEATRICE, ALMA, SOPHIE, OLIVE, ANITA,
VALERIE, RODNEY, TANIA
These names contribute sensitive, idealistic
qualities to these people. They have
a deep desire to help others, to be of service, and to
add their part to peace and harmony in the world.
They make friends easily because of their kind, amiable,
and diplomatic qualities. Being intuitive and
quick-minded, they sense the feelings of others and give
them good advice. They could be drawn into social work
such as in helping children. One can
always appeal to them and receive a sympathetic
hearing. They must learn to retain confidences
because they have a tendency to want to share what they
know.
A flair for the dramatic, they are often interested
in acting, dancing, and in artistic and musical
undertakings. They are often emotional, high-strung, and
temperamental. The encouragement
and strength of others helps to build their
confidence, which wanes at times making it difficult to make decisions. They like to bounce ideas
off others. They love
deeply and can be easily and severely hurt by
misunderstandings. They have a temper but as soon
as they express unkindly they regret their comments and
want to make amends. They do not hold grudges
unless they have other qualities that contribute to an
inability to forgive. Sometimes they love too
deeply and suffer losses in the affections because of
their possessiveness. They live for love and affection
and for the security and companionship it
offers.
A tendency to daydream could spoil
their ability to concentrate and the initiative to get
down to practical work. Children with these names
need encouragement and help to get through their
studies, especially in the technical subjects. They
must be taught to handle issues and not just tell others
what they want to hear rather than the truth of the
situation. They will do anything to avoid
confrontations and to keep the peace! As handling
peer pressure is challenging for them, they
could be drawn into questionable situations. It is
difficult to say "no" and mean it. Being
impressionable, they are affected greatly by their
environment and associations. If they are not
handled properly, they become indifferent to the advice
of others.
These people cannot take pressure for too long
without reactions to their nervous systems
leading to nervous breakdowns. They need plenty of
rest and relaxation as their energies are easily
exhausted. Tensions bring out their temperamental
qualities.
A change of name would strengthen their confidence
and balance the over-sensitivity of their nervous
systems.

Questions?
Does a child have a
mind at birth?
A child at birth has no
mind; the mind is created when the child is named and
when specific conscious energies, coordinated and given
expression by the symbols in the name, stimulate the
brain cells to respond accordingly--and thus a mental
pattern develops. This pattern is recognized as
the personality and reflects the qualities of
intelligence expressed by the name.
Children identify
themselves
with their names. Thus we are our names, and our
names are who we are. One cannot brush the point aside
with, "A name is not important." Answer
this: Who are you? How can you identify
yourself as a mental power without using your
name? If you had no name, who would you be?
Isn't your name important to you? Intelligence, as
a universal power or invisible energy, is expressed
consciously only through language. Our names give us
our individual intelligent expression.
The body is
controlled by the mind and, when the mind expresses
discordant characteristics, the body reflects them as
illness. Medical science admits mental attitude
strongly affects the health of the body; for instance,
hypertension can cause ulcers, headaches, etc. The
questions are: What causes the hypertension in the
first place? Why does it affect different people
in different ways? A study of the Kabalarian
Philosophy will reveal the answers.
To
understand the spiritual law governing conscious
expression is to appreciate the power of intelligence
expressing through a name.

Plan
with Confidence
© Kabalarian writings
Time is the period of
existence in which we live from the cradle to the grave.
We dissect it into seconds,
minutes, hours, weeks, months, years, and ages.
Thus we are able to hear our earthly existence ticked
away by our watches, and every tick is a thing of the
past that can never be retrieved or redeemed.
Each person born into
time is governed by it from the first breath of life
until death. Within the period of time called
life, the changing minutes, hours, days, months, and
years bring changing conditions, thoughts,
opportunities, successes, and failures. Although
the world at large does not as yet fully realize it,
these fluctuating circumstances of life are not as
haphazard as they appear to be. There is a
definite, intelligent pattern to life, and a basic,
logical, consistent reason for everything. That pattern
is embodied within mathematics and the
Cyclic Law.

Quote of the Month
Learn to think
fearlessly; there is no subject too spiritual, no
subject that cannot stand the analysis of mind; spirit
depends upon the channel, mind, for reality. What is
more real than logic?
