—[g]—Unless you know a person to be a master or very highly developed in a spiritual way, you are usually safe in reducing the 11 to 2, for that type of person has either attained the heights that make him or her very obviously a master, or else has reduced the splendid 11 to its digit 2, in his life and actions and is consequently a common or mediocre type, quite frequently. All indications point at least to a secondary position in life for a number 2 person, though they may possibly get to the position of chief attorney, chief adjuster, ambassador, or become a great minister for some special thing or some great country or people. This they would do by working upward through their obstacles and restrictions to the top of the SECOND place, the idealized number 2. The 11 disciples watched Jesus (11) ascend. His life had been SECOND in the minds of His generation, but after He ascended to become SECOND on the throne with the Father-Mother God (1) He became FIRST on earth.
—h—Still you should keep in mind that all these things are INFLUENCES only, not fates, and that other numbers may be strong enough to offset the 2 in your case.
POSITIONS OF THE NUMBER 11
(See also the Number 2, Lesson 2)
—[j]—In cases where you feel reasonably sure, from observation of the life and of your other numbers and indications of astral and other characteristics, that the person really IS living the life of the 11, a master life, then you may use the following definitions of positions to apply. Remember, that "by their fruits shall ye know them." (Matt. 7:16.)
—[k]—11 as a Soul Path Number—This would indicate that you chose a path of deep idealism in the lines of religion and philosophy. You desire to conquer the body and its passions and may make the mistake of being too aesthetic. It will be well for you to avoid the total suppression of your nature as you may get a wrong impression that total suppression means a conquering, when it may mean a killing out of fine qualities in you. Let your MODERATION be known to all men, not too much nor too little. (Phil. 4:5.)
—[l]—11 as a Personality Number—Here we see that you will need to do whatever your Soul has mapped out, in a masterly way. Nothing short of the finished way of going about your life work will ever please you. See to it that you do each task thoroughly, even when it is a small one. If you would have the bigger work your mastery deserves, do the little work so well it will fade out of the picture. Remember that when the 11 is reduced it makes a 2, who easily becomes the idle dreamer, the sychophant. While 11 has a high vibration and indicates the master mind, the 2 can be either high or low in its vibrations, can be either a master or a slave.
—[m]—11 as a Predominant Name Number—Here the 11 means that you are likely to attract to yourself those who are masters in their line. It shows that it will be easy for you to attract very spiritual people around you; that you will readily understand the depth of their wisdom and be able in a fine way to imitate it. You also make an excellent head for a campaign of lectures, being very useful in assembling the public for the finer type of spiritual teacher and lecturer.
