Guest guest Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 Sat Nam, Paul, Just to clarify: You wouldn't get a spiritual name based on numbers from a website. You would get your personal numerology from that, but your spiritual name is based on more than that, & is given to you by a person. The wonderful thing about receiving a spiritual name in many traditions is that it's not based on a relationship, in the way you are meaning it, because it doesn't need to be. Each of us chooses to incarnate in a particular time & place, & each of us who asks for a spiritual name takes that action at a specific time. All of the astrological & numerological data associated with those moments can be " read " , interpreted, analyzed, weighed, intuitively processed, etc. by someone skilled in the art to produce an accurate picture of the destiny a person incarnated to fulfull. That is the kind of relationship that exists in spiritual name-giving. We write our own script, & we birth ourselves to act it out, but often by the time we wake up on the earth plane we've forgotten what it was we came here to do. A master simply " sees " what we've already written & helps us to remember. It doesn't need to be dependent on building a one-to-one relationship over time. I find it reassuring that the process is based on objective information & not on a personal relationship, which may cloud the other person's ability to see me as I am & speak the truth to me. Master astrologers say, " I read the chart, not the person. " The data is there for understanding whether there is a " relationship " between the client & astrologer or not. It is a similar aproach with spiritual names. I agree that we need to live out our spirituality in our relationships, otherwise we could be just playing games or fooling ourselves; but I don't think that is what's happening here.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2009 Report Posted February 7, 2009 I'm pretty sure that Yogi Bhajan didn't need to use Astrology of any sorts to give a Spiritual Name.. he KNEW who everybody was, even BEFORE asking for a Spiritual name.. However.. I do believe that Astrology has it's significance in our destiny.. humbly dev Quote
