Your rewards come when you learn that service is your duty. You must help, inspire, and counsel others. You could lose if you demand power, possessions, and personal love, because your way of life requires that you remain impersonal. You seek perfection in yourself and others. You become disappointed and have a hard time understanding when others do not reach the perfection that you expect in them.

You have psychic abilities. Personal ambitions could be your downfall because your success comes through your knowledge, inspiration, revelation, and leadership to humankind. Your example of living inspires others, so make it the truth that has been revealed to you. You could be an artist, scientist, teacher, writer, reformer, healer, psychologist, peacemaker, or be employed in any line that helps and inspires others. Guard against these negative vibrations: conceit, dishonesty, selfishness, aimlessness, unkindness, indifference, and unconcern.
The Master Number 11 is the vibration for only a handful of people. When it feels right you will know that this is your number. Never force an 11. If this vibration feels incorrect for your life, refer to the number 2. This is not a reflection upon anyone with an 11/2 Path of Life. Master Numbers should never be forced. You need to know that there is an alternative for you.
22 ~ Universal is the key word on this path. This is a Master Number and must give service on a large scale. This is the number of the master builder, architect, engineer, or anyone involved in large ventures that benefit groups of people or the world. Your interest lies in large cooperatives, world affairs, or international concerns. You do everything in a big way. Your best work is before or for the public. You can assume leadership, manage, and direct. You are not a follower. You may be a college or university professor, a teacher, a statesman, or other public benefactor. Your views should be universal, not personal, as you must contribute to the general welfare of humankind. Guard against these negative vibrations: nerves, excess, laziness, self-promotion, get-rich-quick schemes, mental turmoil, boastfulness, indifference.
This Master Number also has an alternative. If the 22 is too hard to live up to, look to the 4 Path of Life. Never force a number to add up to the Master Numbers. If they are not there, they do not belong there.
