Spirit Messages In Your Everyday Life
Many years ago, while studying with spiritual author and teacher, Doreen Virtue, I was introduced to the topic of repeat numbers, hidden messages, and symbolic patterns. You don’t have to be a psychic to notice the subtle signs being shown to you every day, or to notice that the Angels and Spirit are sending you messages.
When we are having a bad day, or worrying about something, those are the times it seems we most need a sign from above, or a comforting message from Spirit. According to many metaphysicians and spiritual teachers, Spirit and our Angels communicate with us many different ways, but one of the easiest ways to get our attention is through number sequences.
One day, driving home from the office, I came up to a stop light where I was behind a car that looked identical to my dad’s when he was alive. As I inched my way closer, I saw the license plate on the car had the number sequence 444 on it. It had been a difficult day at work for me, but I knew as soon as I saw that car, with those numbers on the plate, that I was getting a message from Spirit. It was my dad and my Angels letting me know they were with me and sending support.
According to Doreen Virtue, 444 often foretells someone getting their wish, or is a numeric message that you have 444 Angels with you at that time. You may see these repeated numbers on the clock, street signs, license plates, phone numbers, home addresses, or any random place where you may not be expecting it.
Signs Your Angel Is Near
Each of us has a guardian angel… a spiritual being whose purpose it is to watch over us and guide us through life. But since our angels are (usually) invisible, and can come and go in a split second, how do we know when they are near?
Specific patterns are usually the most telltale sign. Do you keep seeing numeric patterns repeated, on license plates or billboards, for example? Are the same songs always playing in whatever public place you go to? Your angel is probably sending you a message. What does it mean to you? If you do not understand the message, try and determine the meaning through Numerology, getting an angel reading, or meditation.
Angels also have a way of communication with our subconscious, specifically through the world of dreams. Most, if not all of us have had at least one series of vivid, repeating dreams. This is also the work of the Divine, and holds meaning. Since dreams are not easily remembered, try keeping a dream journal, or learning techniques of lucid dreaming and dream recall.
The counterpart to subconscious dreams are clairvoyant visions, which we may experience while awake or in a meditative state. They are usually very vivid and real, and are often an urgent message from an angel, so it’s important to take note whenever they occur.
Entering The Lions Gate
We are fast approaching the metaphysically significant date of 8/8 this month – a day that is known as The Lions Gate. This is an excellent time to take a look a look at what meaningful events have occurred in your life over the last year, as well as any wounds that may have been triggered for us.
The Lions Gate is a time of alignment of the Earth, the star Sirius, and the galactic center. As Sirius rises in the sky, Orion’s Belt directly aligns with the Pyramid of Giza. The alignment is called Lions Gate, because it occurs when the Sun is in the astrological sign of Leo.
Sirius is known as our ‘Spiritual Sun.’ We are constantly bathed in the cosmic rays generated by the Sirius system, which includes Sirius A, the larger star, and its binary twin, the dwarf star, known as Sirius B.
The ancient Egyptians celebrated the New Year at this time of Sirius’s heliacal rise, or first appearance on the Eastern horizon just before sunrise. This was also the time of year when the Nile River would flood, bringing life and fertility to the fields. It is interesting to note that the ancient Egyptians somehow knew of the existence of the dwarf star, Sirius B, despite the fact that it is not visible to the naked eye.
Around July 6, Sirius is conjunct to our Sun, starting a phase of its closest proximity to our solar system, and there is upswing in the cosmic rays which infuse us with photon light energy, light codes and divine wisdom. These cosmic rays, with all its spiritual information and activations, are automatically received by all life on Earth, as well as the planet herself.
Hidden In The Letters Of Your Name
The ancient art of Numerology is possibly one of the most validly pertinent and relevant psycho-analytic tools available today. The other esoteric method would be Astrology. It, too can used, holistically, as an investigative detecting rod, to unravel certain latent gifts locked within a person’s psyche.
Using Numerology, as a beginning barometer and incisive indicator, while eliciting a psychological search for meaning and clarification in the personality, in an otherwise perplexing, confusing motivating structure, one may find a treasure house of unexplored truths, which not only educate, enlighten, but also entertain.
Hidden in the letters of your name, a pertinent, applicable impetus can be exposed and consumed, as a viable method for study and consideration of merit. If you are ready, at this precise juncture in your life, to delve further into the intricate meanings possibly associated with the various grouping of letters which, in fact, form your name, along with the specific vibration attached, you may be surprised to learn who really is the person who is called by your name.
When you stand at a precarious crossroads, for whatever reason, begin the awesome unconscious probing of your inner nature, a mystifying, yet esoterically scientific approach is often helpful and appropriate. In the study of Numerology, specific wave vibrations are attached or attributed to each letter. But, more importantly, the cosmic reality interwoven in the unique blending of the individual letters comprise a specific destiny, not yet disclosed at the conscious level. What I mean exactly is: how the chosen letters are strung together, comprise certain chemical constitutions of sorts, not unlike the various essential molecular elements which make up, let’s say a chair. A far-fetched proposition, I realize, but not altogether, unlikely.
An Accelerated Path
Many people come to me after years, sometimes decades, of trying everything else: Astrology, Numerology, Genetics, Past Life Regression, therapy, and so on. Years of being understood, validated, affirmed, and being told narratives regarding why they are the way they are, did not bring them all the answers.
There is worth in all of the above practices, both in Psychology and Spirituality, or Metaphysics. However, growth requires challenge, and we are now in a ‘feel good’ culture, where if anyone gets upset, there is the potential of backlash, or even a lawsuit.
In the 1960s there was an amazing education role play called Brown Eyes, developed by an elementary school teacher. You can look up the video online, as well as the reunion footage years later with the kids, who are now adults. The game created a scenario in which children, and later also adults, were able to experience the profound effects of discrimination, prejudice and racism.
However, teachers were eventually sued for doing this role play in class, because of the emotional upset caused by the experience. Of course, the role play was not upsetting to the minority children who experienced the discrimination and prejudice all the time in their daily lives.
Nine Lemons In A Bowl
You will always find a bowl filled with exactly nine lemons in the center of my kitchen island. It is a labor of love keeping that bowl filled to this exact number, but the happiness which fills my soul with just a quick glance at them, makes all the effort worthwhile – because I know they are doing so much for me physically, mentally and emotionally.
So, why lemons and why exactly nine? In Feng Shui, lemons are believed to help clear away bad karma and their bright yellow color is a symbol of optimism and happiness. Also, in Feng Shui, the number nine is considered to be the luckiest, as it represents wealth, accomplishment, and attaining personal goals. Why would I not want to welcome these wonderful attributes into my home with such a gift from nature?
I love the pop of color those nine lemons bring to my home and they have actually become a permanent part of the decor. Of course, it does help that I happen to have a large lemon tree in my backyard. From December to April lemons are available in abundance here in Arizona!
Lemons are also a great source of nutrition. They are a natural antioxidant and great source of Vitamin C. Lemons helps to detoxify the body and clear away negative energies, to bring balance to your health and your soul. They also create a positive, uplifting environment.
2019 – Year Of The Hanged Man And The Empress
In Tarot, 2019 is the year of the Hanged Man: key card 12 (2+0+1+9=12) – letting go. It is also the year of the universal archetype of the Empress: key card 3 (1+2=3) – love with abundance.
Usually only one card is highlighted for a Tarot year, but I feel it’s important, if possible, to also reduce the year number to a single digit, to have the energy of both archetypes and vibrations. Also, in Numerology, the we are in a 3 year, which encompasses everything the Empress embodies.
Furthermore, this year’s numbers, 1, 2 and 3, is a message to live life more simply and to choose only the things that bring us love and beauty.
First, let’s look at how we can deepen our understanding of The Hanged Man’s energy to assist us in this New Year. His message is one of letting go, release, looking at things from a new perspective, a pause or sacrifice. In our lives we can look at what we need to release that may be holding us back in relationships, career, health, or our spiritual growth.
