Sauwelios
I have just developed what I think is a highly innovative method of understanding the Tree of Life and name-numerology [by combining the two]. I will take myself as an example.
The Tree of Life is, of course, a blueprint of the human being: Geburah and Chesed are the arms, Netzach and Hod are the legs etc.
I will refer to the positions of the Sephiroth by Roman numbers in this post: for instance, Kether is I, Hod is VIII etc.
Well then. My full name at birth has the same numerology, or at least the same Personality-, Soul-, and Integrated Self-number as the word Kamikaze: 7, 7, and 5 respectively [a = 1, i = 9, another a, and e = 5 together makes 7; this is my Soul-number. 7 Personality-number + 7 Soul-number = 14 = 1 + 4 = 5 Integrated Self.]
I say the full birth-name makes up the Higher Self, the Supernal Triad. In my case, Kether is 5, Chokmah [II] is 7, and Binah [III] is also 7. The Chokmah-7 is my Soul-number, whereas the Binah-number's my Personality-number. The reason I identify the Soul with Chokmah is that it's on the Pillar of Mercy, the Pillar of Force. The Soul is the life-force which animates the Body, the life-form. Likewise, the Personality-number reflects how others see you and how you see yourself, that is to say your APPEARANCE, what is on the outside. Therefore I have identified the Personality-number with the Pillar of Severity, the Pillar of Form.
Well then. We now have attributed the Integrated Self, the Soul, and the Personality to Kether, Chokmah and Binah respectively. Now the Supernal Triad is mirrored in Daäth, and the mirror-image is found on the other side of the Abyss. But beneath the Abyss there is not one but TWO Triads; this is because with Knowledge [Daäth], there arises the idea of duality. This is reflected in the division of the Integrated Self, the full name at birth, into the Soul and Personality, the vowels and consonants respectively. This is, by the way, more evidence for my thesis: the vowels are fluid, like the Soul, like Force, and fill in the spaces left by the consonants, like a river between its banks. We can also compare the consonants to matter and the vowels to spirit.
Now Kether has its gravity-point in itself, whereas Chokmah has it in Tiphareth [6], and Binah has it in Yesod [9]. Let us fill this in on our Tree [it would be best if you made a sketch of this on a scrap of paper]. Kether 5, Chokmah 7, Binah 7, Tiphareth 7, and Yesod 7. You can also fill in Malkuth which is Kether, for 10 = 1 + 0 = 1. So Malkuth on our Tree, X, is 5. We have now filled in all of the middle Pillar [except Daäth, which indeed isn't a Sephira].
Let us look below the Abyss now, first at the third Triad [for reasons that should become clear to you]. Its "Kether", that is, Yesod [on the middle Pillar], is 7. Now I tell you that in my case [and this is my chart, remember: my name, my graph, my BODY we're systemising!], my Personality-number [and this is the Binah-7 in Yesod] is made up as follows: the name I write under, Sauwelios, is my image: my self-image and my image for others. It has everything to do with my Holy Guardian Angel, at which we shall arrive momentarily.
The numerology of "Sauwelios" is 1 + 6 = 7: its Personality- or consonant-number is 1, its Soul-number is 6, and the number of the Integrated Self is 7. This 7 is the same as the first 7 in 7 + 7 = 5. I bid you to make this "leap of faith" and just suppose that what I say is true. I do not have "Sauwelios" as a handle for nothing.
Well then. The number of my Personality is 7; but this is the Integrated Self of my Personality, my Integrated Personality if you like. It is really made up of an outside and an inside. The outside, the Personality-number of my Personality, is 1. The inside, the Soul of my Personality, is 6. Let us fill this in. We already had Yesod is 7; now we can fill in Hod [VIII] is 1, and Netzach [VII] is 6.
From this it follows that my Soul-number is also made up of a Soul- and Personality-number, and indeed, opposite to my Personality ["Sauwelios"]! For the sum of this 1 + 6 = 7 and my Soul-number must remain 5. This can only be the case if my Soul-number is also 7 [which it is], in the formula of 6 + 1 = 7. 1 + 6 = 7 PLUS 6 + 1 = 7 IS 7 + 7 = 5. So my Soul-number 7 = 6 + 1.
So we can fill in Geburah [V] is 6, Chesed [IV] is 1, and of course Tiphareth [VI] is 7. To recapitulate: I is 5, II is 7, III is 7, IV is 1, V is 6, VI is 7, VII is 6, VIII is 1, IX is 7 and X is 5.
