What’s Really in a Word? ACHIEVEMENT
If you are a regular follower of our monthly Word Ponder, you’ll have innately grasped from April how accomplishment is truly an act of uniting in intuition, allowing you to enjoy the self-realization that also affirms you cannot attain it without the same during May. So now we wonder as we think about where to ponder next, perhaps you just might already be experiencing the realms of ACHIEVEMENT? Achievement is defined as: “something that somebody has succeeded in doing, usually with effort; the act or process of finishing something successfully.” We decided to ponder this word because the very question, what’s really in a word? will clarify that indeed, the energy within and surrounding achievement is always awaiting for you to recognize it, even in the smallest feats within our lives. By now, if you acknowledge when you are experiencing self-realization- you are more than likely already very tuned into what your soul is here to accomplish. As the wonders, mysteries and changes of everyday life come to you in your now, are you feeling any sense of achievement yet? Like accomplishment and self-realization, the desire to succeed while equally feeling good within our personal potentials are very basic human goals. How many times have we all been asked, “So what are you feeling good about that have you achieved up till now within your life?” Depending upon our answers, we find there may be a myriad of responses that present themselves- once again that may not be measured by the status quo definition of overwhelming success that comes with dollar signs attached to it. Equally, it is interesting to discover how Chaldean numerology and lexigrams view achievement. What does it take to enjoy a routine sense of achievement? It takes a rhythm that is attuned to a vibration. Every sound we utter contains an unseen channel of energy, and thus, when we speak our names and engage with the action of our words, there is an underlying current, this unseen force that connects that vibration into its own individual expression. When we examine the Name Expression of ACHIEVEMENT -which is the numerological energy that is always behind it through the values of the letters that compose it- we find it has, as numbers always will provide, the very key points to know what exactly to do within the action of it. One should not be surprised it is guided by the Chaldean’s understanding of the 44, which is one of the Master Numbers because it is composed by two 4’s in one compound number. Adding them together (4 + 4 = 8), we know the singular energy of the 8 is ruled by Saturn- who governs over our responsibility, stability and learning through our experiences. Looking back to accomplishment and self-realization, both carrying 2 vibrations that are guided by the Moon’s ebb and flow of emotion, we now switch from the intuitive side of life to the physical manifestation of what guides us from within through the wisdom of the 8. Within the 44’s Chaldean Karmic Mystery, which is the same meaning of the 26 and 35’s understanding of Partnerships, we find interesting concepts to consider: “This compound number vibrates, in a strange way, to a unique kind of power, based on compassion and unselfishness, with the ability to help others, but not always the Self. 44 is full of contradictions. It warns of dangers, disappointments, and failure, especially regarding the ambitions, brought about through bad advice, association with others, and unhappy partnerships of all kinds. Within the realms of the 44, the person or entity is counseled to avoid partnerships and pursue the career alone, not heeding even the well-intentioned advice of others, but follow only the personal hunches and intuition- although these should be carefully examined for flaws before acting on them. 44 people and entities should begin at once to stabilize the income, to save money and not behave in an extravagant manner or invest in other people’s ideas. Invest in your own future, be generous with others, especially those in need, but also build a solid foundation for the future for yourself.” ~Linda Goodman’s Star Signs Seemingly, there is “work” to be done in the energy of the 44, and as we find that singular 8’s guidance through Saturn here, again, we should not be that surprised. In the means of achievement, we can translate the ancient Chaldeans’ perceptions to our modern day world to find grace within our toiling actions and claiming of it. In order to have the power that comes with achievement, compassion and unselfishness is part of the process, and should never be placed in worthiness of the self in order to avoid the natural contradictions it can bring. When working with the material 8, as we take away the self and better comprehend our connection to all that is, our achievements can be all the more rewarding. One question we can always ask to keep in true alignment of achievement is: whom have I helped along the way to arrive at it, allowing them to remove their obstacles along the way? When we take the two singular 4’s, and look to the digits composing this master number vibration, we find two forces of Uranus guiding the inner workings of this master number. This innovative planet never ceases in the unexpected it can bring when we least anticipate it, which is the only means of how break-through and originality ever enters our lives. With the coupling of two 4 energies, we have two individual foundations asking to be respected and acknowledged, each providing a worth that allows the 8’s wisdom to come through in a channel that requests patience to be a part of it. Why, this master number is nothing short of “tricky” to truly understand, for to receive the natural gifts of it, one has to be mindful of knowing how to work with humanity at all times, another request that the 4 will always ask anyone guided by it to honor. As we engage in the riches of achievement, we honestly find it has nothing to do with the manifestation of material rewards for the self to indulge. While intuition and those personal hunches must be carefully listened to in order to invest in the future of the self, (ignoring that bad advice of society’s norm to “get rich” and trust in others that do not honor what having true wealth really means), it is through the compassionate acts that help others which will lead to the stability that achievement is poised to bring. Knowing what one has done in generosity -especially to those who may need it the most- reflects back the strength and solidarity that are the genuine roots of this more than powerful and masterful word. The mysteries of Lexigrams have more evidence to support the meaning within ACHIEVEMENT, and what it is simply able to do for any of us. By taking the anagrams we can derive from this word, and spiral them into poetic phrases, the Lexigram process brings one more piece of the puzzle to place into our mastery of life about what’s really hiding within it in truth. The reality that relates to how to best reap the rewards this word wishes for us all to assimilate into our human experiences, is as always, ready to be spelled out from the very letters that compose it.“Thought is fire; use its concentrated power to consume all obstacles to achievement.”- Paramahansa Yogonanda
