The Power of a Name

The name of Keith creates a very aggressive and independent nature, one with big ambitions, giving you original, progressive, large-scale ideas, salesmanship and promotional ability as well as the excellent business judgment which enables you to gain the financial accumulation to which
you feel entitled.

You have a versatile, restless nature, and could do any job well, although you would not like to do menial tasks. You are seldom satisfied and are always seeking something new. However, you do not know the meaning of relaxation, for when supposedly resting, your mind is forever active, planning out some new project or seeking new ways to improve your present enterprise.

You could organize the work of others, though in your impatience to see the job done efficiently, you would likely step right in and do it yourself. Your intense, restless nature can bring on tension which affects the solar plexus and digestion, or the generative organs.

The value of a name has long been immortalized in prose, poetry, and religious ceremony. Everyone recognizes himself or herself by name.

The question is: how does a name influence a person's character?

Let us consider what a name is. It is the grouping of several letters of an alphabet, or other symbols, which represent the identification of a
person or an object.

The one thing which separates human beings from the animal kingdom is human mind, which has the ability to reason on a conscious level. To
think consciously, one must use language. This point is not generally appreciated but it is vitally important. It is impossible to think without
language. What allows language to serve in this manner? In the case of languages which have alphabets, letters are placed in a definite
sequence in the alphabet, i.e., in the English alphabet, "A" is always in the first position, "B" in the second position, and so on. Any alphabet is
an alphabet because symbols are recognized by their form or sound in a definite order--change the order and confusion results.

There is more than just sound and alphabetical symbols to language. What is it that language expresses? Is it not intelligence? Is not intelligence
a mental power? Do we not learn through education--using language--to develop intelligence, which is recognized as mental growth and the
individuality of the personal mind?

The link between human intelligence, mind, language, and the order of the letters in the alphabet is the key to measuring human mind and
solving the major problem of mental discord and imbalance.

A simple analogy is the piano. When a note is played, pressing the key activates a string to cause sound vibrations. Each string is tuned to
correspond to a note in the musical scale. Each note is a step in the scale, and using these notes a musician can blend the sounds to create
harmony or discord. Similarly, names blend conscious forces to create mental harmony or mental discord. The individual keys, although
important, are not the music. Music is expressed when the keys activate the strings. If the keys are not used, there is no music. A melody can be
played on numerous instruments which express the same musical composition by different means. In the same way, intelligence is universal and can be expressed by many different languages. The thought that the sky is blue can be conveyed in as many languages as exist. Yet the thought
remains abstract until expressed through language.

Therefore, intelligence is a universal power which is limited according to the medium of expression or alphabet. More extensive alphabets allow
a greater variety in the shades of meaning to be conveyed. Alphabets with only a few symbols lack the capacity to express intelligence as freely
and easily as alphabets with many more symbols. Compare this with one piano with three octaves of notes expressing a range of music, to
another piano of ten or more octaves of notes. What a difference!

In considering the influence of a name, what is important is the power of intelligence which expresses through the alphabetical symbols
comprising the name. Similar to the gradations in sound energies in the scale of music, there is a scale of conscious energy known as qualities
of intelligence, which express as invisible energies known as mental power. There are nine gradations in the scale of conscious expression.
Concisely, they are: individuality, diplomacy, artistic expression, technical detail, analytical research, responsibility, philosophical depth of
thought, organization, and universal love and understanding.

The Mathematical Principle of nine is a spiritual law which can be found, although hidden in symbology, in all ancient spiritual writings and
concepts. When the Principle is understood, a name can be changed to alter the qualities of intelligence expressing through the individual to
change one's nature to a state of greater balance and happiness.

A child at birth has no mind; the mind is created when the child is named and when specific conscious energies, coordinated and given
expression by the symbols in the name, stimulate the brain cells to respond accordingly--and thus a mental pattern develops. This pattern is
recognized as the personality and reflects the qualities of intelligence expressed by the name.

Children learn to associate their names with themselves and identify themselves by name. Thus we are our names. One cannot brush the point
aside with, "A name is not important." Answer this: Who are you? How can you identify yourself as a mental power without using your name? If
you had no name who would you be? Is your name not important to you? Intelligence, as a universal power, is expressed consciously only
through language, and your name gives you your individual intelligent expression.

The body is controlled by the mind and, when the mind expresses discordant characteristics, the body reflects them as illness. Medical science admits mental attitude strongly affects the health of the body; for instance, hypertension can cause ulcers, headaches, etc. The questions are: What causes the hypertension in the first place? Why does it affect different people in different ways? A study of the Kabalarian Philosophy will
reveal the answers to these questions.

To understand the spiritual law governing conscious expression is to appreciate the power of intelligence expressing through a name. For those
who seek mental clarity, peace of mind, and a balanced, happy life, which is a reflection of a balanced mind, the answer is to look further into the
Kabalarian Principle. Thus, the answer to the question, "What's in a name?" is, "Everything". The answer to the question, "What's in your name?"
is, "You". The value of a name has long been immortalized in prose, poetry, the Bible, and religious ceremony. Everyone recognizes him self or
herself according to an individual name.

The importance and the influence of a person's name has been the subject of controversy for years, with critics often quoting, "A rose by any
other name would smell as sweet," as if roses were people with individual qualities of intelligence. Such a reply does not help logically to answer
the question "What's in a name?" A good name has been linked with a good character reputation, associating the individual identified by his
name and his personal nature: "Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing: But he who filches from me my good name, robs me
of that which enriches him, and makes me poor indeed." (Othello, III, iii, 157-161). The question is, how does a name influence a person's
character?

Let us consider what a name is. It is the grouping of several letters of an alphabet which represent the identification of a person or an object.

The one thing which separates man from the animal kingdom is his mind, which has the ability to reason on a conscious level. To think
consciously, man must use an alphabet of some nature. This point is not generally appreciated but it is vitally important. It is impossible for man
to think without language. Language must be important! What allows language to serve in this manner? It is the fact that language is symbolized
by letters placed in definite mathematical sequence, i.e. in the English alphabet. "A" is always in the first position, "B" in the second position,
and so on. Any alphabet is an alphabet because set symbols are recognized by their form or sound in a definite order--change the order and
confusion results.

There is more than just sound, shape, and position to language. What is it that language expresses? Is it not intelligence? Is not intelligence a
mental power? Do we not learn through education--using language--to develop intelligence, which is recognized as mental growth and the
individuality of the personal mind?

The link between intelligence, human mind, language, and the mathematical order of the alphabet is the key to measuring human mind and solving the major problem of mental discord and imbalance.

A simple analogy is the piano. Every key when activated strikes a string under specific tension to cause sound vibrations. Each string is different
and is relative to a mathematical law which gives the graduations in tones. Each note is a step in the scale,and using these notes a musician
can blend the sounds into harmony or create a discord. Similarly, names blend conscious forces to create mental harmony or mental discord.
Music is recognized as following a scientific law of mathematical relationship in sound energies. The individual keys, although important, are not the music. Music is a sound energy which is expressed when activated by the key. If the keys are not used, there is no music. A melody can be
played on numerous instruments which express the same musical intelligence via a different medium. In the same way, intelligence is universal
and can be expressed via the medium of many different languages. The thought that "The sky is blue," can be conveyed in as many languages
as exist. Yet the thought remains abstract until expressed through language.

Therefore, intelligence is a universal power which is limited according to the medium of expression or alphabet. More extensive alphabets allow
a greater variety in the shades of meaning to be conveyed. Alphabets with only a few symbols lack the capacity to express intelligence as freely
and easily as alphabets with many more symbols. Compare one piano with three octaves of notes expressing a range of music, to another piano of ten or more octaves of notes. What a difference!
