—[y]—12 as a Soul Path Number—Shows that you chose the pathway of expression through dominion, that you can be the leader in art or drama or literature. In any of these you can be the head of a great new movement, causing schools to spring up all over the country. It is a steep grade to climb, but the 12 indicates that you can climb it if you will persist.

—[z]—12 as a Personality Number—Shows that you will make your attainments in life largely by showing your authority in the question that may be before you. This, of course, you can only do after you have attained to real knowledge in that line. But this tendency of the 12 here is to make you inclined to assume authority, to "bluff it through" in some cases. Watch this. It is really easier to KNOW and BE the thing you profess and will not take any more time than the making of excuses as to why you do not know.

—[a]—12 as a Predominant Name Number—Here you will attract those around you who will be authorities in their line. With this 12 as a Predominant Name Number you need never be much encumbered with the companionship of the mediocre or lowly. You can ride with the best and be acquainted with the big public characters, for you will naturally attract that kind. Be prepared for this by having studied deeply along the lines of the authorities you are to meet. When you know in advance what great person you are going to meet, if his line is in line with your own great ambition, then read up heavily IN ADVANCE, then LISTEN to him. YOU can learn faster from him by having studied to listen TO him.

—[b]—12 as a Destiny Number—This shows that you will be a great success as the national head of some movement, more particularly an art movement, or, in some cases a political movement. Again much study is required, not only to attain the coveted post, but to keep ahead of those who would deprive you of it. This number often seems to be accompanied by jealousy and envy on the part of others. These cannot be effective if you keep your eye ONLY on the distant goal of success. Jealousy and envy can only defeat you if YOU stop to regard them, or to resent them.

—[c]—12 as a Public Appearance Number—This shows you can best reach the public for your great work through some use of the voice, possibly public speaking. While this 12 gives you dominion over many, it also makes you very likely to scatter your forces, by reason of the 12 having a value of 3, when reduced to its digit. 3 is the diffusive effect, the scattering of forces and energies, possibly through stopping to argue with jealous or envious opposition.

—[d]—Warning—Have one big objective and stay with it. Do not be inclined to show off too much. Keep your energies for your big job, your main appeal to your public. Do not allow personalities or flattery to get inside of your mind. Keep yourself clean and fine. Believe in yourself and your work, be enthusiastic but not boastful. Put all your energies into the thing you are doing at all times and you will come out ahead. But plan well and thoroughly and for years ahead what you want to be doing.

Application of the Seven Principles to the Spirit Plane

—[e]—THE SPIRIT PLANE is peculiar, in that very few of the Seven Principles have any application to it. Even where we can detect some little application, it is but dim to us. It is for the most part "beyond the veil." The SPIRIT PLANE is that "mystery which the angels have desired to look into." (1 Pet. 1: 12.)

—[f]—FORCE, the First Principle, cannot be applied in any way to the SPIRIT PLANE, for FORCE is the First Emanation of SPIRIT. Since GOD is SPIRIT (John 4:24) it follows that He is the Forceless center of all FORCE. FORCE being His First Expression, His Word creates. HE does not NEED FORCE, even as an attribute. Nor does He need any other attribute that we could name for Him.
