The Nineteenth Letter of the Alphabet. Matrix Frequency No. 19. (including matrix suggestions and my own musings) Deep meditative stillness and absorption in the One that is All, the Ground of Being, the Universal Presence. Realigns disease-patterns with Sacred-Source.
How this relates to “S” the 19th letter, will be discussed under “Letter-Number Table 1.” (1+9=10, 1+0=1)….to be found on a sub-menu under “Letter-Menu Table” on the Header Menu Bar – yet to be added.
The conventional American Dream “S:” being immersed in traditional society, paying taxes, not ‘making waves’ – ‘playing the game,’ following tradition, living up to Mom and Dad’s expectations, toeing the accepted line – expecting to succeed (make money, buy a house, marry and rear a brood, put down securities, enjoy a contented old age)!!
“S” can also be more unconventional: doing what they do for a living – no matter how “off the beaten track” it is - and earning a respected place in society for it. When that happens, you’ll often find “S” as a Focus/Challenge letter in the middle of the last name and the letters each side indicating what they’re trying to be publicly accepted for. My own name “Weston” makes a good example. Actually my “T” shares the center Focus/Challenge with “S” – unfolding me into a voice (sound) shaman, energy healer, intuitive empath, psychic (all possible expressions of letter “T”) and being challenged to put myself out in the public with it (the “S” energy).
At this moment in history, the previously solid social-ground of “S” has become a quickly disappearing mirage. Some socially minded and concerned “S’s” who’ve woken up to the superficial and vapid nature of the old paradigm are busy trying to build up the world’s crumbling facade.
Two Examples: (There are many more examples now in these much harder times of 2011.)
George Soros: billionaire American financier, philanthropist, prolific author and philosopher; dedicated his life to building and maintaining the structures of open societies worldwide; continued to pour billions into areas where social conditions indicated change.
Bernard Glassman: Zen monk; compassionate activist; social entrepreneur; founder of the successful Yonkers Greystone Bakery, plus other inner-city money earners and projects for AIDS and the homeless. Glassman and his New York Zen community fully immersed themselves in the social activities of 21st Century urban life. This localized and enormously fruitful endeavor then globalized into the Peacemaker Community, a multi-faith network that seeks to integrate spiritual practice with social action.
Although “S” represents conventional society and success, it also polarizes to anti-money and anti-mainstream society ambitions and life styles. Early in the last Century (1875-1965), Albert Schweitzer, brilliant musician, humanitarian and medical missionary turned his back on the world and created his own idealized community in the jungles of East Africa.
Those who want to maintain or patch-up the old life styles are usually at odds with those who want to change them radically or have a destructive elitist view, like the supremacist “Skin Heads.”
Notable amongst those “S’s” who influence, entertain, palliate and sometimes re-educate the community mind-set is Steven Spielberg, prolific director, screen writer and sometime co-producer of films, remembered from the 70′s by Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind; from the 80′s: Indiana Jones movies; E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial; Temple of the Sun, The Color Purple and the 90′s: Hook; Jurassic Park, Schindler’s List, Amistad…to mention only a few!
For most “S’s,” a life commitment to social involvement cannot embrace the vast philanthropy of a Soros, the spiritual vision of a Schweitzer, a Glassman, or the inadvertent (or intentional) mind-manipulation of media moguls like Spielberg – yours may be smaller, yet still important!
An old friend of mine James South, a nutritionist, designed special herbal and vitamin formulas for the health and welfare of humanity.
Whenever “S” begins or is in a name, there are money issues and challenges of basic survival, when these come into balance, you have the foundation for “S’s” real purpose – the betterment of society. Your personal part in that will depend on the letters following or surrounding your “S”…look up their meanings and find your place in the world.
On the personal, practical level, “S” challenges you to represent, or to bring credibility to something you embrace wholeheartedly, to support yourself successfully, be recognized by others for what you totally enjoy working at….and finally, there’s this sensuality issue! No matter how conventional an “S” person appears on the surface, there can lurk a unique set of underlying sensual needs below the facade of respectability; when “S” doubles or the name contains a multiple of “S’s,” the tendency is magnified. And yes – they can be great lovers!
Balanced “S:” being in the system – yet transforming the system; ability to move comfortably and non-judgmentally on all levels of society; business and money savvy; will always find something they love to do for a living – and then do it! Reminiscent of Malcolm S. Forbes, unabashed capitalist and founder of Forbes magazine, who was truly contented with his millions – he enjoyed lavishing them on himself and others and lacked the paranoia and guilt that’s usually associated with great riches.
Unbalanced “S:” the puritanical, “What will others think?” versus “To hell with what others think!!” – beating or breaking the system; social climbers; paranoid anti-social terrorists; money issues; irrational needs for respectability, success and money; business guile; rough-shodding over people for personal gain; scam artists, the “S” con-men/women. Kinky sensuality may turn into ecstatic masochism or sado-masochism especially when combined with letter “D” – the late Jean-Bedel Bokassa, ex-self-proclaimed Emperor of Bangui in the 70′s, considered one of Africa’s most bizarre and brutal despots and Saddam Hussein (three “S’s” and two “D’s”) with his reputation for ruthless, cold and calculated cruelty.
Weak “S:” difficulty finding or holding a job; feels the world owes them a living; drifters; resentful or jealous of others who have the good things of life; welshing off others; hopeless attitude to earning money; feel they don’t deserve to have recognition, money or financial support; fear of success; poverty consciousness…..“It doesn’t matter how hard I work – I never get ahead” or……“I’ll never get ahead!”
When “S” is in YOUR NAME: it’s how you will interact with money, success, society…and sometimes, sexuality.
