The Twelve Attributes of the Soul

"The Attributes of the Soul are real and knowable; In my soul I am free."

It should not surprise you that there is a rhythm to the creative flow throughout the universe. We see this rhythm in so many aspects of the physical world, cycles within cycles within cycles. The same rhythm is within the soul. Remember, the external world is a reflection of inner realities. From this perspective, we see qualities of expression and feelings that come from somewhere deep within. We have feelings of Beauty, Life, Truth, Harmony, and other qualities that seem to be absolute in their inner meanings. These qualities, which seem to have a universal application in all cultures, are from the soul. They are called the Attributes of the Soul.

As souls were created, there was a flow of energy that infused the soul with the characteristics of the Consciousness of Creation. With the thought of Love broadcast from the Source, creation began, and was carried forth on the energy wave of Light. Entities were created that would carry this energy into all of creation expressing the characteristics inherent within the seeds of their creation. These characteristics, or Attributes, were implanted in the core of every soul. They were formulated into a pattern that when recognized would assist in leading the soul on its return path to conscious union with all of Creation. The process of awakening begins as a soul becomes inwardly aware of the rhythm of the creative flow of the universe.

Through repeated experiences, a soul learns of the qualities or Attributes that are deeply buried in their inner consciousness. It is often through experiencing the opposite of a particular Attribute that the meaning of the Attribute is understood. Through stimulating discord in pursuit of personal gain, one learns the value of Harmony. Through creating illusions of comfort and holding on to images of assumed importance, one learns the true meaning of Reality. Through becoming attached to physical possessions and power structures of relationships, one eventually is exposed to Truth. One learns what it means "to be in the world but not of it" . It is only through experience that a soul awakens to its true character and nature and then begins the journey back to unity with the One Source.

The Attributes of the Soul are very real and knowable. They are in part hidden deep within the soul. A soul needs to have a sincere desire to embark on the spiritual path if it is to come into a clear understanding of the Attributes and their application. The Attributes are then revealed, from time to time, in the course of human interactions. The alert soul who has either consciously or unconsciously embarked on the path of inner discovery will become aware of a deeper sense of connection to eternal realities as it experiences certain Attributes. Through contemplation and meditation, a soul discovers its eternal Attributes as it comes into a state of alignment with the mind and body.

True understanding of the Attributes comes only through application. In every event, every relationship, every aspect of daily life, the opportunity exists to apply what you know. It is what you "do" , not what you think about, know, or intend to do, that counts. Everything in the universe has an energy pattern that can be seen and understood from various dimensions. Such energy patterns in the three-dimensional world have been measured and described by modern science. The soul is no different. Though composed of a finer substance than the three-dimensional world it experiences, the soul is part of a multi dimensional creative process. It has a character and nature, and consists of identifiable qualities or Attributes that create a certain energy pattern. This energy pattern has an external component reflected in the experiences of each lifetime, and an internal pattern that is absolute. The external energy pattern is a statement of a "soul's" understanding of its character and nature. The internal energy pattern is a statement of the rhythm of the universe as represented by the Attributes of the Soul that define the soul's true character and nature.

The Attributes of the Soul reflect an inner alignment with the creative nature and Oneness of the universe. One understands the Attributes by observing the correlation between the universality of the energy of numbers, and the soul qualities reflected in the various Attributes. Two is always two; Beauty is always Beauty. Six is always six; Truth is always Truth. There are twelve Attributes, each with a different vibratory essence. Each Attribute has a unique energy pattern that correlates with the root numbers of one through nine. In addition, there are the unified energies in the combinations of the root numbers found in 10, 11, and 12. A full and complete understanding of these attributes with total integration into all that a soul experiences leads to the capstone of Soul Awareness reflected in the number 13.

The Attributes of the Soul and the related numerical value are as follows:

Spirit - One (1) Intelligence - (7)
Beauty- Two (2) Image - Eight (8)
Might - Three (3) Reality - Nine (9)
Harmony - Four (4) Opulence - Ten (10)
Life - Five (5) Light - Eleven (11)
Truth - Six (6) Principle - Twelve (12)
Soul - Thirteen (13)  

The Eye of the Sacred Wind Foundation is dedicated to bringing the teaching of Soul Consciousness to those who are ready and prepared to make a commitment to walk the pathway of inner discovery. The teaching offered is the result of over twenty-five years of study and revelation, most recently through recorded daily messages from the Source, the Higher Self. The teaching is impersonal as it is based on the purity of soul revelation devoid of personality, ego, or human manipulation.

We are pleased to share with all who are on the pathway of awakening. Let us know how we can be of assistance.
