The “show-off;” joy & laughter; trying to please; mental manipulator; the dedicated highly trained artist (musician, dancer, painter) – including those truly inspired.
The Ninth Letter of the Alphabet. Energy Frequency No. 9. (including matrix suggestions and my own musings) A powerful spiritual cleanser and a latent aspect of our Inter-dimensional nature called “discernment of spirits,” mostly lost or suppressed in the West – but still practiced and valued by indigenous cultures. (How this relates to “I” the 9th Letter is now discussed in full under Letter-Number Table 9. Take a look!)
(Not every “I” person interested in the arts has the talent or desire to become a practicing artist, but none-the-less are patrons and supporters of their field(s) of interest. They often become spokes-people and draw public attention to important artistic issues that would otherwise be overlooked.)
The mystical side of “I” makes it possible to ‘vanish’ into the creative act – incorporating “The Zen of doing while not doing.” Totally absorbed in their work, the ego ceases from “doing” and the sense of self fades into effortless-being. If a musician, they no longer “play” their instrument, the instrument plays them; the line between performer and performance melts away – they become the music! If a dancer, they dissolve into the choreography and the dance dances itself. If a painter, the painting paints itself – they merely facilitate the process and watch (with delight), the unfolding canvas!
The same can be said for certain writers who have penetrated the superconscious mind.
Remarkable case in point: I once knew a brilliant scholar (her first name contained two “I’s”) who wrote her academic papers in “Higher-Mind-mode.” First she did all her research, read the literature and took notes – then when she was ready to actually compose the paper or dissertation, she saw – as though on a screen in her head, everything she had already studied (along with her notes) laid out in the perfect order for presenting the material; then without further conscious thought or effort, she would sit down and write out the final, perfect draft!
Another example of working through higher Mind came from Tamegoro Ikii (three “I’s”), an ace Tokyo police Investigator, who enjoyed celebrity status for his deductive abilities.
When polarized, It is the fear to display their talent. Stage fright is an example. Brilliant singer, actress and director of films Barbra Streisand (letter “I” middle Focus/Challenge in last name) has had to battle this debility.
For many “I” artists the opposite is true: performing acts like food, it nourishes them and their audience – they only feel truly alive when “strutting their stuff!” For instance, totally without stage-jitters, young Latin singing star Enrique Iglesias loves to perform. His first name has an “I” Focus in the very middle – and two “I’s” in his last name.
Note: In Finland many personal names contain doubled “I’s” and above all other peoples, the Finns take great national pride in creating and performing music and dance.
Physically, it can bring respiratory challenges; also, many “I” people have researched and worked with breath and the Life Force; such as pioneer therapist Wilhelm Reich (two “I’s” including a middle Focus in the last name), and with one “I,” modern ‘breath-master,’ Gay Hendricks.
Letter “I” also lends itself to the mystical because it connects us (via the breath) to the life-force and Spirit.
Balanced “I:” positively mesmeric and charismatic; loves life, gives out encouragement, joy, laughter; inspires others to their highest good through sharing their own talents.
Unbalanced “I’s:” very manipulative, calculated, mentally controlling; obsessed with what others might think of them; an almost compulsive need to be liked; always trying to say “the right thing;” terrified of showing themselves in a poor light.
Weak “I’s:” play the buffoon (the habitual “show-off”), hogging center stage no matter where, desperately grabbing attention; always hoping for praise. Certain “I” performers (known for their emotional insecurity) become addicted to applause; they react to the audience’s mood and suffer painful devastation when it’s cool or critical; they display a childish need for attention; when children, they raged and pouted if they didn’t get noticed on demand. Other “I’s” alienate everyone with mocking put-downs and destructive displays; have frequent tantrums – regardless of their age!!
On a psychic level, certain “I” people are born with what is known as “Discernment of Spirits” – you could say that they see inter-dimensionally and particularly the spirits of the earth-bound-dead (who really need our assistance). This means the “I’s” born with ‘Discernment” have the ability to release those unhappy ‘ghosts’ and send them through to where they can receive assistance on the ‘other-side.’ More information can be given in a Blog Post on this subject if requested by enough people, also others without “I’s” in their names develop Discernment of Spirits later in life.
Finally: positive “l’s” can both broadcast energy individually, or to and entire room full of people through their 3rd. eyes; manipulative and negative “I’s” – can drain the energy of others through their 3rd eye.
When “I” is in YOUR NAME: it’s how you draw attention to yourself and your creative abilities and how you present your creative gifts and interests to the world.
