Karma debt number 16 (numerology)

[gauss576]

Does anyone have any insights / experience with numerology here?

I realized I have the so called karma debt number 16 in my birthday. Apparently in numerology there are 4 karmic debt numbers, 13, 14, 16, and 19.

Here is a description of this karmic debt number, from: https://www.worldnumerology.com/numerology-karmic-debt.html

The 16 Karmic Debt - wherever it shows up on the chart - means destruction of the old and birth of the new. The 16 is about the fall of the ego, and all that it has built for itself. It is a watershed, a cleansing. All that has been constructed, and all that serves to separate the person from the source of life is destroyed. Through the 16, reunion with the great spirit is accomplished.
This can be a painful process, because it usually comes after much ego inflation. This results in a struggle between the ego and the divine will. Life presents challenges to your grand plans, which can be resented and struggled against. It is a lost battle, and you will likely feel humbled in the face of the collapse that follows. This humility is the key to later success, however, because you will learn to follow the intimations of a higher reality. In the destruction of the old, a spiritual rebirth takes place with an entirely new awareness. This rebirth affects every area of your life. It is a life much the better for the fall.

Those with the 16 Karmic Debt must be careful of egotism. Very often, those with the 16 use their highly intuitive and refined intellect to look down upon others, and view the rest of the world as inferior. This causes acute alienation and loneliness. In addition, it invites retribution, for the egotist is humbled more harshly than any other.
When the 16 is in one of the core numbers, this process of destruction and rebirth is a continual cycle that actually serves to bring you into higher consciousness and closer union with the source of life.

The 16 Karmic Debt can be a path of progress and great spiritual growth if it is looked at properly. One develops great faith by placing one's life in the hands of God. Through such faith, gratitude and peace are firmly established.

I didn't used to believe any of this, but I realized this squared up my experiences in my life (I am about 28) ALMOST to the Tee. My life has been consistently plagued with a rise and fall type of pattern where I would work extremely hard but life would always put obstacles in the way so that I would always get humbled and could never satisfy my ego, whereas people around me not burdened with this karma debt number could easily achieve financial / monetary / love life success.

My question is, knowing that I have this karmic debt number, what then should I do? How should I live my life? What occupation should consider moving into? I don't want to go against the flow of the universe - that seems very futile. What should I be doing to ensure that I pay back this debt as fast as possible so perhaps the later half of my life (or next life) is no longer burdened by this and I can actually enjoy life?

Any insights into this condition would be helpful. Thanks.

I do not know if I believe in karmic debt numbers or anything like that, but I do believe that we have certain purposes and lessons in each lifetime. As someone who has completed an ego-destruction lifetime, I can agree that it is less than comfortable (although yours seems much milder at this point than mine was).

While I do not pretend to know the circumstances of your life, here are my suggestions: find a job that helps others (really helps others). This could be some sort of volunteer work or perhaps a job in the service or hospitality industries. Something that makes you feel fulfilled and gives you that warm feeling in your gut from doing others a service. And spend time loving and taking care of the people around you. Interpersonal relationships are one of the most important (if not the most important) part of being alive. Those are the ways I can think to live a less egotistical life, but I would say most people could profit from them.

I cannot guarantee that this will end your apparent bad luck spree, but it may help. It could be that you just have to bite the bullet in this life, so to speak, to secure better outcomes in future lives. I hope this is not the case.

Hi - I’ve spent quite a few years dealing with numerology; numerology is very general, as although it is overall quite accurate, it is more like skimming the surface.

I was born on the 16th in my most recent past life and I definitely had major ego issues, but they stemmed from an inferiority complex and abandonment issues, so the ego was there for defence; as this is personal to me it would obviously not be taken into account by general numerology. So it would have been difficult to redeem myself karmically back then without focussing on self-love (which I didn’t do; I chose not to or was unable to confront my deeper issues). I came into this life on the 19th, another karmic debt number, although I have had a lot of trials which have forced me to come face to face with my deeper issues and focus on self-love, I have also had a very blessed life so as Spirit Sword said above, I would not read too deeply into the numerology example you have found.

We all have ups and downs at different times, as we are all on this Earth to resolve our karmic burdens or missions; I have often found that when things are going well for me, someone I know is going through something extremely difficult and prolonged, and vice versa. I personally do not feel that having been born twice under karmic numbers has been the cause for hardships I have suffered, there is so much more to be taken into account. The day we were born is just the vibration of the Earth and Universe at that moment in time, and the vibration is always flexible/changeable as it is energy; it cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be changed - we all have the power to change it.

I have gone off using numerology seriously after realising its limitations, but it is still great to do for fun and in situations where only a general answer will suffice.

I hope something in this reply makes sense; I’ve experienced so much dealing with this that it’s hard to summarise it

Mind you, I am not saying this to delegitimize your experience, but to put it into perspective. First of all, you are young. Most people your age still do not have stable lives, and you are not really behind in this. Plus, everyone does have a bit of an ego, and this is undermined periodically.

In my lifetime of ego destruction, I went from the kid who cleans monastery floors to the conqueror of a nation. I was considered a military genius and popular aristocrat, also many close friends and several lovers. All this in my early twenties to mid twenties. From there, I was betrayed by my own family, dealt with constant assassination attempts, outlawry, losing most of the people I cared about, and more betrayal, before dying around age 29.

It could be worse. Do not psych yourself out based on expectations, or even patterns you notice emerging. If you expect bad things to happen, they generally will (and that is all you will be able to notice). Sometimes, there is nothing you can do, and you have grin and endure a sequence of unfortunate events. But if that is not your path, you could seriously hold yourself back by building your life around a superstition attached to the day you were born. Just try to live a good life and let the pieces fall where they may.

Hi gauss576, I am new here and just like others have said, I don't know all of the circumstances of your life. I don't really feel qualified to say anything regarding the number 16 or what it means, but it sounds like a good idea to focus less on seeing the number as a 'curse', and maybe look at it as an opportunity to grow and integrate acts of service and kindness into your life as has been said, so that you feel better as a person and others do too. This probably sounds all well and good coming from me, but it might be easier than you think.

What are you good at? What talents do you have? We all have them No matter what they are, there are probably ways in which you could put them to use for someone else's good. I love books, so I spent some time sorting and displaying them for a local charity. It was only a few hours a week, but they made some good money from it, and I had fun and met people I wouldn't otherwise have known - it was a win-win That's another important thing to note, I guess: nobody says you can't enjoy what you are doing, as making yourself sad doesn't sound like it's the aim. Just creating goodness.

It isn't directly related to past life details as such, but I am going through a situation with my twin flame where it's not enough to make changes in my life just to try and get my twin back. That won't work. The changes have to be made for and in myself, so that the growth happens properly and is not just the exchange of one thing for another because I wanted it. If that happened, I wouldn't learn anything and would actually be worse off personally. So I kind of understand the urgency you seem to be describing even though it is for a different event.

I don't believe life wants to punish us; rather, it would like us to come into balance and fulfil our purposes. This is why I said that you don't have to suffer in order to do good things, because that would also put things out of balance for you. There are lots of little articles online called things like, "X ways to help others in your everyday life", that might help you out. If you make it a way of life like has already been said, it transforms from the idea of 'paying' for something into you realising your potential

Wish you all the best and hope this helped even if only a little!
