Hello, my life path number has made absolutely no sense to me. I am the furthest thing from Executive path there ever has been. Unless I'm misunderstanding Executive, even when I've created things that could be monetized or elevate me to positions of mastery or authority, I want nothing to do with that. I avoid it at all costs. Because I want to stir people's souls and light a lamp in their hearts, not dig into their pocketbooks or lord over their lives.

I was a breech birth though, born at 2:55 a.m. I have long wondered if I would have been born on the 16th rather than 17th if there hadn't been birth complications, because Faith Seeker fits me perfectly. Does that ever happen? I would imagine being a Faith Seeker soul made to wear the skins of, or exist within the trappings of, the Executive would result in one having a rather awkward, fragmented, unhappy life.

The Executive is a person who takes authority over their own life, not a person who enslaves other people monetarily. I like they way you have confidently created meaning in your life and determined what actually has value and what doesn't.

A common misconception about the numbers, and anything at all really, is the polarized belief that there are good numbers and bad numbers. There is, instead, a positive and negative end to each spectrum. Another misconception, also born out of our dualistic thinking, is that if you're one thing, you must not be another. For example, a person might be a 3 life path and think that being the communicator means they aren't on a spiritual path like the 7 (hint: we're all on a spiritual path, that's kind of the point to all this.)

As I stated in this post - "By the time you reach the end of this, you might have preferred songs that are not associated with your number. There are a lot of things I could say about that, but I’ll leave you with this:

I am a humble 5 Life Path, and yet each one of these resonated with me. We all have something to teach one another, and most of all, we all have something specific to overcome. This is why I always frame these paths as lessons. Yes, there will be personality traits and fun observations for each, but most of all they show us our focus- what we came to teach others, or to master."

Thank you so much for your reply! I've definitely misunderstood Executive then. Although my relationship with taking authority over my life has been shaky at best, a sort of knee-jerk taking back power grab but in ways that were impulsive and self-destructive. In between those times, I allowed my parents to make major life decisions for me (divorce, pregnancy termination), even though I desperately didn't want to let them be in charge. I didn't think I had the power to stand my ground. So I'll learn more about Executive. This could be a major part of my journey I've not understood or mostly overlooked. It's also helpful to be reminded about those misconceptions. Thank you for your insights!

Hi Kerry Jane, just FYI I am a 9 life path. Thank you for all your insights. God's blessings to you.

I'm also an Aquarian 5 of course. And I do love Lana del Rey! I'd say Summertime Sadness is my favourite track of hers.

I like your eclectic song choices. There are simply too many to choose from. My song choices also depend entirely on what mood I'm in, and go through distinct phases. What you said about the 5 does resonate of course, so I guess it's a question of which form of escapism I'd choose, or which form that would take.

I'm a massive shoegaze fan, so I will simply have to think of an appropriate Slowdive track. Golden Hair is my favourite (or Catch the Breeze live version), both of which you can escape into the music and lose yourself.

So I reckon that counts...

I have many favorites of hers, but Born To Die is probably my ultimate favorite. I listened to that song a lot when I was conceptualizing Metanoia.

Thank you for complimenting my selection. I agree. I am the same way - and I think everyone does to some extent.

I tend to alternate between all of them, because I get bored of the escapes! It helps because this way I don’t have an addictive personality, but it is probably not so great to get bored so easily of things so often. It has given me a broad range of interests and perhaps I’m spread thin, idk.

I also love shoegaze. That’s a common genre that Spotify generates playlists for me with. I will check those out.

Now here's a nice little fateful occurrence for you - earlier today I had to go to our local supermarket (forgive me for that one), and Born to Die was playing in the store!

How on earth they thought that song would make people buy more stuff I don't know. Although I was in the wine aisle at the time...

I love this! I’d imagine public radio and playlists would be better in Europe than here so I believe it πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ. Here we are bombarded with awful generic pop 24/7. Also a really fun coincidence πŸ₯°.

Oh, the life path is a digital root? Here's a trick others can use when calculating it then, you can skip the 9s to make the calculation easier, as the addition of a 9 never changes the digital root. I double checked with my own, which is a 1. I'll take the 1 section of this post as a compliment (not in a space where I can listen to the music at the moment)

Yes! That’s one of the interesting aspects of the number 9, why I call it spooky because you can simply cross all the 9’s out and get the same result. It’s good to know what the total is with the 9s, however, as that total can also provide some insight (depending on the numerologist). In that case, so glad to be working on the 1 life path ☺️

10/9/1956=1+9+7+5=2+2=4 The Teacher. You are right in with this one.a 68 year old retired ordained minister. But that was an exercise I need to get back to in the morning

Fantastic. I love it. It’s nice to meet you here Andrea. Don’t work too hard πŸ˜‰

The 4 life path in my work of fiction takes place in a civilization navigating their own budding theology. Although the main character is not the figurehead for their religion, he does navigate the dark underbelly of it and ends up teaching the village something that helps them navigate their community and faith.

So perfect ❀️

7’s are my favorite! That is numerology in a nutshell- pattern recognition. Eventually you come to realize there’s something utterly vast and incomprehensible going on. Trying to put the pieces together over time is fun though, it satisfies the investigator in me (another 5 trait). As Evelyn suggested, a level of detachment is advisable.

Also, go for it!

Yeah - continuous pattern recognition, constantly seeing the interconnectedness of everything and noticing the relevance and the signposts, and the personal messages in particular, in everything throughout every day can get too much. One would end up not necessarily a paranoid mess, because paranoid isn't the right word, but certainly unable to function amongst normal human beings. Because the whole thing comes down to focus and conscious awareness, I would prefer or propose a compromise, namely be content to just find one or two relevant fateful messages each day, or designate say an hour a day for the messages. By taking control in that way, they gravitate towards you, rather than you being at their mercy.
