Day 2021 – Day 2026
Throughout my life, I have seen repeating numbers and knew it was supposed to mean something, according to New Age texts. I just never really gave it much thought. Several weeks ago, I started seeing repeating numbers every time I looked at the clock. It started with the number 11:11 and I saw that over and over again and ignored it. So, I started seeing other strange combinations like 3:33 or 5:55. I saw 5:55 an awful lot and dismissed it as simply being an indication that maybe it was time to leave the office for the day. I also saw 8:18 an awful lot. That is the time that I was born, so I dismissed it as selective attention. When I started seeing 23:23, I started getting annoyed.
There is a lot of new age spiritual mumbo jumbo out there as to what number series mean. I don’t buy into that. But, there are ancient systems of numerology where number series have meaning. I am not versed in them. Some people say 11:11 is a twin flame number – I don’t know what that is or if it is a real thing. If I’m going down the mumbo jumbo route, I’m more inclined to believe that 11:11 is an invitation to a spiritual gateway. Even that sounds hippy dippy to me. But, what I can say is that I am grateful for feeling annoyed by the constant series of repeating numbers filling my life, if only for one reason – it has made me pay very careful attention.
This morning I awoke at 4:44. Okay. I’m paying attention.
About two weeks ago I was lamenting to someone that I have never had the benefit of a mentor, even though I really feel that I could use one. I have this particular situation where I feel really lost. I can see that I am doing work that others are doing and I want to network with my colleagues but I am stymied. I don’t know what to say to them. I’m not sure what the value proposition is. And I’m frustrated. I need a mentor.
As soon as I expressed that feeling, I got an email of an offer for some discounted mentoring from someone who knows what they’re talking about. Now, it is not someone involved in that circle of colleagues but it is someone who can help me figure out how to use the tools at my disposal to put myself out there. I’m grateful for that email and I’m looking forward to our session that will happen, tomorrow.
I feel like the energy of the world is changing and this is happening very quickly, now.
I’m also grateful for what appears to be a heightened sense of intuition and connection to certain people. I probably can’t explain this but there are people in my life with whom I am feeling vibrationally connected in a very intense way. There are even some people that I only know on the internet with whom I am feeling strangely in-tune. With my increased intuition and intense connection, I am experiencing a lot of profound and intense love. I sometimes wonder if I’m not a bit weird or if I have a brain tumour. Intuition is something that nobody really teaches us to understand, in modern times. I am grateful, in this, that I have a spiritual group to whom I can bring my weirdness.
The world is in a very tumultuous place right now with the news filled with stories of a worldwide pandemic, panic buying, stock market plunges and G7 rapid action to stem off a worldwide recession. I remember my yoga guru Swami Satchidananda used to say that we are all like oranges. When we get squeezed, we will see what is truly inside of us.
What is inside of us? Fear and darkness? Or, love and light?
