=--d--=This leads to the question as to when the 11 should be reduced to its sum of 2 and when it should not be. When you are dealing with a very spiritual subject or person, in whom the 11 is evident by the full addition of name or birthdate or of a word, THEN you may leave the 11 and call it a master indication. =--e--=For example, the word Jesus has a value of 11 and should be left that way, that is, as 11. So with the words Lord Jesus Christ, together, make 11, as well as the words Creative Christ Consciousness, making 11. =--f--=In all these cases to get their value they may be left as 11. But to prove the position of the Christ as the Son of God, in the SECOND personality in the God Head, any of the above titles may then be reduced to their sum, which is 2. =--g--=Unless you know a person to be a master or very highly developed in a spiritual way, you are usually safe in reducing the 11 to 2, for that type of person has either attained the heights that make him or her very obviously a master, or else has reduced the splendid 11 to its digit 2, in his life and actions and is consequently a common or mediocre type, quite frequently. All indications point at least to a secondary position in life for a number 2 person, though they may possibly get to the position of chief attorney, chief adjuster, ambassador, or become a great minister for some special thing or some great country or people. This they would do by working upward through their obstacles and restrictions to the top of the SECOND place, the idealized number 2. The 11 disciples watched Jesus (11) ascend. His life had been SECOND in the minds of His generation, but after He ascended to become SECOND on the throne with the Father-Mother God (1) He became FIRST on earth. =--h--=Still you should keep in mind that all these things are INFLUENCES only, not fates, and that other numbers may be strong enough to offset the 2 in your case. =POSITIONS OF THE NUMBER 11= =(See also the Number 2, Lesson 2)= =--j--=In cases where you feel reasonably sure, from observation of the life and of your other numbers and indications of astral and other characteristics, that the person really IS living the life of the 11, a master life, then you may use the following definitions of positions to apply. Remember, that "by their fruits shall ye know them." (Matt. 7:16.) =--k--11 as a Soul Path Number--=This would indicate that you chose a path of deep idealism in the lines of religion and philosophy. You desire to conquer the body and its passions and may make the mistake of being too aesthetic. It will be well for you to avoid the total suppression of your nature as you may get a wrong impression that total suppression means a conquering, when it may mean a killing out of fine qualities in you. Let your MODERATION be known to all men, not too much nor too little. (Phil. 4:5.)
