The calendar year of 2010 shifts the psyche of humanity into a proactive rhythm of accomplishment and regeneration. We have just come through a catharsis of cleansing, completion, and clearing of all that cannot be maintained in the Aquarian Age. 2009 was the cosmic rotor-rooter of this process. With the initiative spirit of number 10 we now have the wind in our sails to move forward in new directions.
Ten represents enthusiasm, vigor, and a willingness to fight for what is right. Emotionally it is the dynamic of “All or Nothing!” so pacing yourself is important—you may feel overwhelmed by the increasing pressure of the times. You get to pick your own theme song this year, and you have two top choices: the Queen/David Bowie rock n’ roll duet “Under Pressure,” and the option to sing along with “Hero” by Mariah Carey. Ten is the archetype of the hero or warrior, so choose your battles wisely—some people will be in a fighting mood. Considering the overall number of the year can save the day. Three (2+0+1+0=3) represents creativity and nurturing, as well as an aspect of the thinking process called the “Positive Mind.” If there was a motto for the Positive Mind it would be, “There are no problems, only solutions.” Three is also social energy. Use your creativity in cooperation with others. We all need each other, and as Yogi Bhajan has said, referring to this transition period, “Don’t isolate and insulate yourself.”
There is a sense of emotional urgency to the flow of the year, and similar to a mountain river, which has a stretch of rapids, we will be tested in our ability to respond quickly and decisively to changing circumstances and events. There are times when working with others will be the only way to navigate through the rocks and divits. The spirit of “All hands on deck!” will prevail, so keep your navel point strong and you will have the balance, focus, and self-solidarity to come through with grace and excellence. Number 3 represents the navel point, and 11 minutes a day of Sat Kriya will sustain you like nothing else. When you are on track, there is a greater ability to read the field and maneuver accordingly, through your own sensory system.
In physiology, 10 represents the nervous system, and the interplay this year between the numbers 10 and 3 can be quite dramatic. Similar to the effect of a power surge on the electrical system of a house, our own nervous systems may be vulnerable to emotional surges, which can blow out our mental fuses. The effects of this are brain drain leading to potentially irrational behavior. In the science of Numerology, any number can manifest in the positive or negative polarity. When 3 goes negative it can show up as childlike emotional rage and lashing out. Directly or indirectly we are affected by this behavior on a local and a global level. In your personal life you must determine where your boundaries are so you don’t end up going down with the ship. As Yogi Bhajan once said, “You don’t follow destruction.”
Looking now to the bright and sparkling side of life, number 3 symbolizes food, creativity, and nurturing. In the children’s fable, Stone Soup, a weary traveler approaches a rural village that has been impoverished by wartime conditions. The traveler requests a night’s lodging and food, but the villagers are wary and fearful, conditioned by a sense of lack. The traveler then smiles and says, “Not to worry, I will feed you all!” and proceeds to build a fire and start a huge pot of water boiling. He then pulls out a rock from a silken pouch and adds it to the water, which invokes curiosity among the villagers who want to see what he’s up to. He invites all who stop by to join him for dinner, and suggests that the feast will be even grander if they might be so kind as to bring a cabbage, potato, or onion to add to the soup. Soon everyone joins in the festivities and before you know it, they are happily stirring the grand cauldron of soup and feeding the entire village.
Here we are now, in our house, in our village. Let’s step out and share our spiritual wealth and vision so we may dissolve the illusion of lack and regenerate the soul of humanity into the abundance of the Aquarian Age.
“When life is applied, life is supplied by God.” ~ Yogi Bhajan
