Changing Your Name
Let's face it! It is a big step to change your name. What would your parents, your siblings, your friends, and your business associates think? Your name is your connection to your family, (even more than you may realize for the energy surrounding your last name influences the characteristics of every family member in one way or another). It would be wonderful to think that every family member would agree to take a new last name because of your interest. However, that may not happen! Despite the fact that the Kabalarian Philosophy has had 80 years of experience helping people change their lives through name changes, it is relatively a new concept for people in Western cultures. You will find remnants of knowledge of the importance of name and birth date taught in the distant past in some Eastern cultures. Although numerology has been around for a long time, most of us do not take it too seriously.
Do you keep the peace and remain at variance with yourself or take the step of balancing your name? Is it unrealistic for you to consider changing your name? Would it cause upheaval in your marriage situation or with your family? Since the 1930s, thousands of people have changed their names through the expertise of the Kabalarian Philosophy. So take heart, you are not alone. Initially, you may encounter some challenges in getting others to call you by your new name, but once the decision is made, it will become easier. Expect the unexpected from others and above all, keep your sense of humour! Remember too, that name change cannot be forced on anyone even close family members. It is a personal decision. The Name Specialists of the Kabalarian Philosophy are very sensitive to the family dynamics.
We strive to work with you and your family to choose names or, if possible, to balance the names you have. Sometimes only minor changes may be necessary and those minor changes will make a world of difference to the success you and your family will achieve in life.
Questions You Have Asked
1. I identify with my name. Would the transition be too challenging?
There is a transition period. You have been called and have responded to a certain name for many years. There is a short period of time where you are getting used to using your new name and being called by that name. It may take up to six weeks, but soon you will respond favourably to your new name. You will be forging a "better" you by using a balanced name consistently. Be patient with others as they make the transition of using your new name. You are getting used to a new energy, a new vibration that will change your life.
A balanced name will enhance your thinking giving you greater individuality, a better understanding of others, and improved self-expression. Also it will increase your patience level, and add versatility, stability, reliability, and greater depth and objectivity to your mind, and--most of all--a greater love of life as you link your thinking to your purpose in life. A balanced name adds new dimensions to your life by expanding the creative processes of your thinking. Persevere through those early days and the new you will be happy you did.
2. Would it be too difficult professionally for me to make a name change?
Many people have balanced their names through the Kabalarian Philosophy-university professors, lawyers, certified accountants, engineers, architects, actors, writers, business owners-men and women from virtually every walk of life. Announcing your change of name can be a means of reaching out to your clients, your family, and friends. Take advantage of the opportunity. Hand out new business cards or change of name cards, or write a song about your new name (just kidding)! Don't let people forget you. It won't be long before your professional name is your balanced name.
It does take effort to make a name change, but the rewards are real. Only you face the challenges and opportunities of your life. If you live your life with a balanced name, you will have the power of a name that will assist you to find greater happiness and many more opportunities to enhance your professional life and increase the success you achieve.
3. Would a name change cause upheaval in my marriage, in my family relations, or in my work place?
A name change does not have to cause upheaval. It may trigger a level of challenge, particularly with family, because it represents change. If you present your new concepts with understanding and consideration of others' opinions, without responding in a negative way, you will bring the best response you can hope for from those close to you. You are not forcing anyone else to follow your path. It is something you want to test for yourself. It does not change the love you have for your spouse, children, and other family members. It does not change your integrity in the work place. You want a progressive life and you want to make the constructive changes to make it happen. Changing your name with business associates, family, and friends is a step toward this goal. Each can be handled with patience, intelligence, and good humour. It won't be along before others will see the changes. It has been our experience that parents particularly are going to be very observant.
One person expressed the following, "When I changed my name, even though my parents accepted the change grudgingly at first, they became much more intrigued as they saw me change for the better over time." Assure your family that a name change does not have to affect your relationship with them. No doubt there are some parents who will not accept your name change. At this point, you have to make a choice and do what is best for you. You do not have to convince others of the benefit of your new name. You can simply say that the step you are taking is a personal choice. If they are curious and want to know more, you can refer them to the kabalarians.com website.

4. Do I need to know more before making a name change to a Balanced Name?
For some people the conclusive proof of their Name Report is enough for them to go ahead and make a name change. For others more knowledge will create confidence that a name change is the right decision. We encourage you to take the study program, Life Analysis Training, to develop a complete knowledge of the principle of balanced name. With greater understanding of the principles of mind and the importance of a balanced name you will have enough information to make an informed decision. You will know: " What is destiny? It is the sum total of your intelligence. It is your path in life, your experiences, and all the result of your mind which creates your desires, emotions, thoughts, and actions. " What is mind? It is the key to progress. You will learn the principle of correlating the forces of intelligence into the energies of mind. " The relationship between language and mathematics. From the principle of mathematics and language, you can create a symphony in music; so do you create a symphony of human intelligence through the same principle. You cannot use the powerful forces of language without setting in motion powerful forces of intellect that becomes you and your life. In the same way, if we do not have knowledge of the principles of music, we cannot create a harmonious symphony.
5. "A name is a name". Can't you make it work for you if you really want to?
Your names reveal your experiences, it defines your weaknesses both physically and mentally, it interprets your whole nature, and reveals your position in life and the measure of your success. Most of us complain that we do not live to our full potential. There is always more we can do to improve our lives, but the fact remains that the name shapes who we are and what we attract. 90% of people recently surveyed stated that their Name Reports were "Accurate" to "Extremely Accurate". Why? Your names and birth date reveal your personality and the conditions of your life. Why is it that some people work so hard and never get ahead, while others seem to attract amazing opportunities with so little effort? There are reasons for this dichotomy that need to be understood and changed.
6. With a balanced name, will I forget who I am and lose the positive qualities of my current names?
Memories are not affected by your new name choice. A change of name does not erase the past! You lived the past; it is a part of you. We tend to remember some memories and forget others. Some people have painful and unhappy memories. A balanced name will help those people to view past memories with greater objectivity. You will become a more constructive person with a balanced name. So many people tell us how impressed they were with the constructive changes that they experienced as they looked back over the first twelve months of using a balanced name and how they now perceive their lives-past, present, and future. They did not lose their memories. They improved their lives!
A balanced name creates mental strengths that add to your current positive qualities and abilities and will help to remove barriers that have been holding back your progress. A balanced name adds positive qualities in harmony with your purpose in life, which is measured from your date of birth. Like grafting a beautiful rose stem on to a robust rootstock to produce a better rose, the new name brings greater harmony and poise to your life. The mental qualities that diminish are the weaknesses that are inherent in your current names. If your names create lack of confidence, you will grow past this weakness as you become more confident by using your balanced name. If your present names create discontent, you will lose this weakness and become happier. If your names create an over-emotional nature, you will move past this weakness as you gain greater stability and self-discipline. You become happier, healthier, and more successful.
