The Number 9
The Ninth Body is the Subtle Body; it gives a person the ability to be subtle. It is represented by Guru Teg Bahadur and the quality of Calmness. It is easy for a 9 to tune into what is really happening.
The negative aspect of the number 9 would be to be super-gullible - the inability
to be subtle. This block can make a person innocently naive.
KARMA OF 9
A person with a Karma of 9 is not subtle in his external relationships. In business
and emotional relationships he will be very crude; he lacks gentleness and the
beautiful flow that a 9 can have. When the 9 is working one can be as graceful
as the swan. This person might see the negative sides of situations but he will
blur them out; he is innocently naive. If the 9 is working, this person will
see the problem and he will work it out on a subtle level so that the relationship
becomes very smooth. Instead of confronting somebody very directly this person
will let you know that he knows, and offer graceful ways to correct the problem.
Let’s say you know somebody who has no interest in Kundalini Yoga and
he has a 9 in his Karma position. If you ask him, “What do you do for
a living?” most likely he will answer, “Well, I had fifty-seven
jobs...” He can’t stick with anything because his problem is that
his Subtle Body is not working.
This particular person’s frustation in life comes from getting a new job
every 3 months, and the reason why he gets sick is because he can’t keep
a job.
His cure would be to do something over and over again. If he has a hobby he
really likes he should really dive into it. It doesn’t have to be a yogic
technique, but if he practices a yogic technique, great! If not, he can still
work through his karma by just totally diving in. Tell him, “You have
to work on your hobby every day for half an hour.” It will do wonders
for him. It’s incredible! That discipline of working on his hobby will
give him mastery. When he gets mastery he will not go from job to job to job.
I have a 9 for my Karma and this meant that the Virgo in me had to be a master;
I had to take something and master it. You will find that Virgos can be very
one-pointed about doing things, about being very articulate, and about just
getting systems down. The act of mastery gives you the ability to know the subtle
things about your art, your craft, or whatever it is that you are doing.
Michaelangelo was a master. What made him a master was that he lived and breathed
his art. Whatever you do, live it, breathe it and become a master at it. A master
understands the subtlety of the art that he is doing.
SOUL OF 9
In his own relationsbip with himself and his Soul, this person is very hard
on himself; he doesn’t give himself the consciousness to stick to things.
He will not want to master; his misery comes from everything being a mystery;
whereas, his joy comes from mastering things. He will stick with something for
a short period of time but once he will learn to stay with things and have that
mastery, he will become very subtle. This is the artist. This person may be
very crude and hard om himself, but once he does a process to get this particular
body in harmony he will be gentle with himself and give himself a little more
space and time to be the master at any particular thing. The prime example is
Guru Teg Bahadur meditating for 26 years before he became Guru. This number
gives one the ability to be totally at ease, and gives one complete knowledge
and mastery of any situation. It is like the lotus flower on the water, it just
rides along and doesn’t fight the waves.
In the birthday 9/9/1954 one has a Soul which is a 9 and a Gift which is also
a 9. What this means is that God gave him as a gift his Soul. These people are
usually very in tune on a very deep level with their own being, so it is not
the Soul they need to work om, but it may be the Path Number that they need
to work on. You can give them any meditation, and if they do it for 1000 days
it will automatically work on the Subtle Body.
GIFT OF 9
This person can master situations very quickly. He is very accurate about what
goes on around him.
A birthday in the year 1954 has a Gift Number of 9. This person’s gift
is that he is master. Whatever he tries to do, he’ll understand the subtlety
of it very quickly.
DESTINY OF 9
People will see this person as being very masterful. He learns systems and learns
things very quickly.
PATH OF 9
What this person has to manifest in terms of his Path is that he has to be very
masterful and has to exhibit total calmness in whatever it is that he does.
This brings about the subtlety of things. He never gets excited about anything;
not that he is dull, but he can process information in such a way that it soothes
people. By doing a meditation for 1000 days this person will gain the ability
to express his own spirituality with subtlety and calmness.
