1) Excerpt from "A Happy Mind Means a Happy Life"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(c) Kabalarian Writings

It is your thinking that constitutes your life; therefore let
your thinking and your life be happy regardless of
difficult material situations and conditions. There will
be fewer problems with a happy mind, for it is the
worrying mind that creates its own problem. What is a
problem to one is not to another. A person needs all
his or her mental energy through which to think; do
not expend it uselessly through worry, which is actually
a mild state of panic. Do what you can, and forget
what you cannot.

The greater the problem, the greater the need for
clear thinking. Do not spend your life in mental
darkness; learn to detach your mind from business
affairs as soon as possible; do not carry worries home
with you. Only so much mental time should be
allotted to your material affairs; do not allow them to
trespass into your personal life and your search for
happiness and wisdom. Learn to detach yourself
at will, and in time it will become a natural
phenomenon. Never allow your thoughts to disturb
you emotionally, for it is the disturbance of the
emotions that destroys the balance of the mind and
thinking. Think only intellectually and logically on
all problems. Do not try to find happiness in
business; it is a false concept.

Strive always for happy thoughts and develop a
universal perspective; i.e., think of life in the sense of
universality--of the greatest good for the good of
all; seek wisdom for service to others and as a
duty to your own inner source of Consciousness.
Keep your thoughts off self as much as possible,
for self is your worst enemy, demanding undue
attention and narrowing your perspective to a
destructive degree until you become your own
greatest obstacle. Strive for happiness through
right thinking, and your health and life will
reflect the beauty of your thoughts.

You create harmonious channels of constructive
effort by understanding your birthpath and the
experiences and associations necessary to its
attainment, and by locating an occupation
relative to it through education. Your vocation,
associations, and entire background will then be
conducive to contentment and happiness.

We would like to share two emails received from
our Internet newsletter subscribers Talia and
Devendran.

Talia comments on the article printed "Happiness in
Home Life is a State of Mind".

"The day I felt for the first time how fulfilling it is to
love and to give, I stopped needing so desperately
to be loved and to receive. It was the most
beautiful feeling I've ever had."

Devendran writes "Hello, just wanted to say your
philosophy is truly great. And I agree, mind is the
key. Heart will be there but mind is always there.
Thanks for the articles so far!!!"

2) Excerpt from "What's In Your Name"
    (c) Alfred J. Parker
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Michael

The name of Michael incorporates musical and
artistic appreciation as well as good executive
ability. It creates a person easy to get along with,
one who is diplomatic, tactful, and very
considerate. It is a stable and trustworthy
nature, very versatile and ambitious and capable
of accumulating the good things of life. You find
him in positions of authority; he is very quick-
minded and capable in every way, a good family
man and very honest and just. This is Michael.

The name of Mike is not as strong and positive an
influence. Any use of it would modify and alter
the personal characteristics.


3) Birthpaths (continued)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To calculate your birthpath, add the month, the day,
and year and reduce the number to a single digit between
one and nine.

December 12, 1975
12 + 12 + 1975 = 1999
1 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 28
2 + 8 = 10
1 + 0 = 1 birthpath

A person born December 12, 1975 is a 1 birthpath.
Calculate your own birthpath using the method above.

Whether one's birthpath expresses depends upon the
name given, for the name creates one's personality and
is the compelling force. The birthpath is the spiritual
potential to be fulfilled by the development of the mind
to a constructive plane of Spiritual Consciousness.
When one's mental qualities conflict with the birthpath
qualities, at times we may observe the not-so-constructive
qualities as well as the constructive qualities
outlined below.

1 birthpath or name quality
The 1 quality is recognized for its strength,
individuality, leadership ability, and positive
approach. At the same time, its weakness lies in
its tendency to be self-centred, positive to the point
of dominance, blunt, and selfish without
consideration for others. The 1 must learn to give
consideration to others rather than just to self.

2 birthpath or name quality
The quality of the 2 is to work with people. The 2
finds it easy to serve and be obliging. The
greatest weakness of the 2 is lack of
individuality, a lack of ability to take a stand on
truth and withstand the opposition. The 2 goes
along because the 2 dislikes issues and
arguments. If the 2 quality can appreciate
that right is right, if it learns to stick by truth,
then it always has the greatest strength or power
on its side. The 2 must guard against being
impractical and lazy.

3 birthpath or name quality
The 3 loves to give but sometimes the 3 is too
forgiving and lets indiscretions and trespasses go
by when the 3 should take a stand. The 3 must learn
to control speech habits because the weaknesses
of the 3 are sarcasm and being intolerant. If the 3
quality learns to control the power of the word,
the 3 develops a magnetic, generous, and
philosophical nature.

4 birthpath or name quality
The 4 quality represents a practical, intellectual
power--a steadfast, patient, analytical expression.
On the negative side it does lack an ability
to give in an inspirational way, becoming small-
minded, stubborn, and fussy over little things. The 4
seeks perfection and becomes discontent when it does
not find it. The 4 can learn to give in a practical
yet inspirational way. As it learns to give with more
flexibility, it will find a power of growth, activity, and
expression that will make life that much more
beautiful.

5 birthpath or name quality
The 5 quality is investigative and promotional.
Those with the 5 quality are quick thinkers and love
freedom. When the 5 is unhappy, it can become
impatient and intolerant and can strike out at others
with cruelty because it is quick to perceive the
weaknesses of others. The 5 quality tends to do
to excess the things it likes to do, but when the 5
loses interest, it is difficult to finish what the 5 has
started. Seldom does the 5 forget an injustice.
The 5 must learn to have a patient, tolerant, forgiving
attitude towards others so that this inner power is
not torn to shreds by severe critical
and caustic qualities of others and itself.

6 birthpath or name quality
The 6 quality is noted for its reliability and its deep
sense of responsibility for others. A supercilious
quality can be its downfall. Ego is one of the greatest
challenges because of the 6's superiority. The 6
quality must learn to give appreciation for the
individuality and intelligence of others. The 6 must
learn to control its bossy, self-opinionated qualities.
The 6 quality worries too much and must learn to
do what it can and forget what it cannot.


7 birthpath or name quality
The 7 quality represents the thinker--theoretical,
studious, reflective, and inspirational. When the 7
does not live up to its highest side, it can become
too lost in its own world and does not give easily to
others. Because of the 7's extreme sensitivity, the 7
is easily affected by tension and can become
very turbulent in its thinking experiencing morbid
and moody thoughts. The 7 quality must learn to
be happy and not so set in its ways.

8 birthpath or name quality
The 8 is the quality of poise and self-confidence
administering justice for all. On the other hand, it can
also be the quality of self-importance, dishonesty,
and being too miserly, domineering, and boastful. The
negative side of the 8 is to take, but it must learn to
give so that what comes back is the result of giving,
not of taking. Taking only creates a negative mental
concept of power and greed, thus the cycle of
giving and receiving is incomplete. The 8 must
learn to give of itself in order for the cycle to complete
the balance.

9 birthpath or name quality
The 9 is the quality of universal love and has a great
desire to serve humanity in some specialized field of
endeavour. On the other hand, the 9 can be too
possessive and smother others because of its intense
feelings. When the 9 is not expressing on a universal
level, it can be too temperamental and self-pitying.
The 9 is idealistic and visionary but must apply practical
rules to find happiness and success in life.

Editor's note:
There are strengths and weaknesses in all qualities.
To know the weaknesses and to control the weaknesses
allows the strengths to become stronger and influential
in directing one's life upon a constructive path of
happiness, peace, and success.
