THE NUMBER 22
—[e]—22 indicates a master on the higher planes also, as does 11. The main difference being in degree, the 22 being the greater. The words Lord, Master and Mind, each have a value of 22.
—[f]—Like the 11 and the 12, we leave the number whole without reducing it, only when we are delineating a deep spiritual subject. In all ordinary cases and for worldly uses we reduce the number of the 22 to 4 by adding the 2 and the 2 of the 22.
POSITIONS OF THE 22
—[g]—22 as a Soul Path Number—This indicates a pathway of mastery in the highest degree, or the common desire to be wealthy and own property in a large way. When one's mind goes to property, rather than the spiritual; when you plainly feel, in your innermost heart, that wealth is more valuable than spiritual things, there is no reason for leaving the 22 as a sign of mastery. The 22 should be at once reduced to 4. Like the number 22 itself, its presence in your life is only assured by the USE you make of it. That high use is mastery of self and all your conditions.
—[h]—22 as a Personality Number—This shows that you can make your highest success only when your aim is on the high lines, that is, on spiritual subjects. This position of the 22 gives you the ability to make others want to put you in high places in anything spiritual. If you deserve the 22 you will soon prove it by the way you are asked to DO things, whether big or little. If you are a master deserving of the 22 you will be asked IF things can be done by the powers you will have brought to the questioner's attention. If you are NOT a master, deserving of the 22 you bear, you will be asked to DO things; you will be reproved for dreaminess and mooning about. Masters are always respected.
—[j]—22 as a Predominant Name Number—Will show an attraction for real masters in you. You will naturally attract the masters among the teachers without currying their favor. Oftentimes there will come into your life those who will speak of strange and peculiar things. Sometimes these will be things you partly understand, sometimes they will be things beyond you, but if you deserve the 22 in this position you will know the value of what you hear even when not quite able to decipher its depth.
—[k]—22 as a Destiny Number—Shows that your great objective in coming to this earth plane was to lead others to mastership. This may mean a lifetime of preparation for a few short years of work as in the case of the Lord (22) and Master (22) and Jesus (2). The world might even misjudge your work and its meaning, but the masters that you raise from the depths will know and the masters you serve on another plane while still here will also know.
