What’s in a Name? Cain & Abel, Hansel & Gretel & Frequencies for November 2013

Empowering Numerology ~  Michele Avanti CAP

What’s in a Name?

Now that we have learned about the nine basic frequencies, we can begin to explore the world around us. 

How are man’s words linked to the frequencies? Do names give power? It’s not so much that a name gives power, as it is, that the frequency that is activated by a name is some type of power.

Let’s start where most people in Western Civilization claim it all started with Cain and Abel.

Cain = C (3) + a (1) + i (9) + n (5) = 18 = 9. 

Abel = A (1) + b (2) + e (5) + l (3) = 11

*Cain & Abel by Lorenzo Ghiberti

The Nine is considered a perfect number in many ways and I call this frequency ‘The Bridge between Heaven and Earth’. 

The Eleven is beyond the realm of the Nine because it a Master Number, and only a higher master number could compete with it. 

In this story, Cain (9) kills his brother Abel (11). At a basic level one would say this story instructs us not to allow jealousy and hatred to drive us to murder. But these stories are meant to give a lot more than such a basic and obvious directive. Through awareness of the numeric frequencies, we see the Nine threatened by the power of the Eleven’s mastery in the physical world. Thus the story tells us, when we allow fear to over-ride our intuition, we kill our power to master creation.

The use of the names Cain and Abel is not an accident. The understanding of the frequency of numbers was well known in ancient times and all of the Old Testament and some of the New Testament was written within a frequency code. As a matter of history, scribes were taught the codes or frequencies of numbers and used certain sequences to empower their work.

What I find most fascinating is that this ancient power in its perfection converts to present language. This to me reiterates the incredible logic and infinite power of creation.

Take the story of Hansel and Gretel and the Witch.

**Hansel & Gretel by Theodor Hosemann

Hansel = 8 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 5 + 3 = 5

Gretel = 7 + 9 + 5+ 2 + 5 + 3 = 31 = 4  

Witch = 5 + 9 + 3 + 8 = 25 = 7

Hansel’s Five frequency is the inquisitive mind, the one who looks at details and is always seeking knowledge. 

Gretel’s Four frequency knows how to take control, it is actually a masculine number that naturally takes control in situations. 

The Witch’s Seven frequency takes risks but it’s greatest challenge is emotional entrapment. Too often individuals with this frequency will get stuck feeling sorry for themselves.

The Witch is also ‘blind’, which brings in another frequency for her: B (2) + l (3) + i (9) +n (5) + d (4) = 5. This tells us that her blindness is a method of learning for her.

As the story goes, Hansel uses pebbles to make a trail so they will find their way back home. This works the first time. But the second time he uses bread-crumbs because his stepmother has locked the children in the house and he cannot get the pebbles he needs. So his Five frequency is actively thinking and paying attention to the details. At the witch’s house, he is locked in an iron cage to be fattened up for the witch’s meal, but each time the blind witch pokes him to see how fat he is, Hansel lets her touch an old bone instead. So again we see his attention to detail. The witch instead of caging Gretel, takes the risk of using her as a slave, and when the witch finally decides to eat them both, she attempts to push Gretel into the oven. Gretel, the Four takes charge and pushes the Witch in, instead. All the frequencies are intact. Does this story tell us anything through the frequencies?

Five uses brains and details, Seven’s personal emotional entrapment does not allow the individual to go beyond entrapping others to feed their needs, and Four engages to empower the individual through patience, clear thought and action. Thus the story tells us we can use our minds to create a trail of details, and they may leave us locked away from what we want. If we engage in self-pity we will imprison our minds and lose sight of the details. But if we choose to empower ourselves through patient self-control, we will take action and burn the emotions that trap us, freeing our minds to learn new lessons in the future.

November 2013 & It’s Frequencies

November is: N (5) + o (6) + v (4) + e (5) + m (4) + b (2) + e (5) + r (9) = 40 = 4

2013: 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6

Total: 4 + 6 = 10 = 1 

November’s frequency of Four is the higher octave of September’s Four. September’s Four frequency followed the earth and we were asked to examine our physical connection with the four directions and how we manifest through our bodies. November’s Four takes us through to the emotional level and asks us to go beyond the physical and examine how we emotionally create our worlds. Are we empowering ourselves through an intimate creative connection with life? Or are we crying out, refusing to see our own shortcomings, afraid of what we will see and thus we project it onto others with pain and blame. This month’s frequency asks us to intimately look in the mirror and acknowledge, accept and love the flaws. To trust that we are perfect in ways we do not understand and begin to heal the deep emotional wounds that keep us from the creative power that intimate trust allows.

This is a key time to look at the roots of who you are and prune off the parts that keep you from being the best you can be. Taking time now to do this will empower and prepare you for a new beginning in four months. It takes great courage to look in the mirror. Use this month’s frequency to clear out the deep emotional entanglements that keep you from creating the universe you desire.  Chanting, “Leem Om” will be helpful because Leem (water) will stir the emotions to the surface and Om (Air) will filter them clear so you can understand and know your next step.

By adding 2013’s six frequency to this month’s Four we activate One. This adds strength to speak out and state what needs to be said to heal the emotional wounds. Now it is our turn to tell the universe exactly what we will no longer do and what we now want to do. Speaking, to the universe may be done by speaking to people in your world. It is time to say what you have hidden to the people who stand in your way, who have helped you, or you have shunned or harmed.

* Cain & Abel plate from The Gates Of Paradise created by artist Lorenzo Ghiberti. He was born Lorenzo di Bartolo in Pelago, Italy 1378 and died in Florence, Italy in 1455.

**Hasel & Gretel, original black & white illustration by German Artist, Theodor Hosemann. (1807-1875)

The Number Nine ~ Frequencies for October 2013

Empowering Numerology

The Number Nine

Over the last eight months we have looked at numbers one through eight and discovered how they sequentially expand. This month we come to the last and most complex number of all, Nine. Where the number Eight moved in a wave of precise balance back onto itself infinitely, the number Nine bridges the experience of balance to a higher power.  This is why I call Nine the bridge between heaven and earth.

Let us examine the many images of Nine to give the mind easy access to its complexity.

 First, imagine a barbell. The bar connects two squares, which each are composed of four lines. Thus we have nine lines working together. Seeing it in a horizontal position we may think it will take perfect balance and strength to lift. This is true in a spiritual sense. To achieve the nine frequency, one must take the balance of the eight to a whole new level. We must remain balanced and strong in the knowledge of who we are, in order to carry the frequency of Nine.

Now turn the barbell upright in your mind and the bar becomes a conduit, moving frequency or consciousness from the top bell down to the lower one. Just to hold this barbell upright takes the issue of balance and strength to whole new level. In order to do this well, we must become the bar. The bar is, a perfect symbol for the individual who carries the Nine frequency.

Let’s look at another very familiar symbol, the equilateral triangle. This is a triangle with exactly three equal sides. View the triangle flat on the ground and extend a line from each corner bringing them together at the top, now we see a three sided pyramid with all equal sides and equal base. At this point we have gone from the Three frequency of the base to the Six frequency of the pyramid, fully visible above the ground.

Now draw three more lines below the surface and bring them together at this new bottom point, which creates a perfect reflection of the above ground pyramid. We created these two pyramids using nine lines and thus have entered the Nine frequency. Nine’s frequency is more than what is seen, it resonates in the reflection of everything and immediately moves us from what we perceive as real into what is real. It awakens our senses to the knowledge that there is more beyond the physical perception. Whenever we see a reflection and contemplate on it, we enter the frequency of Nine.

If we back away from the image of the reflecting pyramids and look at the image as a whole, we see the shape of a diamond. The diamond is what we are becoming as we expand our consciousness. In the physical body, we are inside a carbon-based vehicle. Under great pressure carbon becomes a diamond. The Nine frequencies in its highest enriched state vibrate as the diamond. Those who carry this frequency are challenging themselves in this lifetime to attain the balance and strength to be the bridge between heaven and earth. This bridge in its greatest form is a diamond crystal, which is the secret portal or stargate that ancient peoples used at the capstone of their pyramids. The vibration of a crystal energy within the confines of the Nine vibration opens doorways to travel between worlds.

When you view the ancient pyramids, you often see four sided structures, with a four sided base, which equals the Eight frequency, what brings these to the Nine is the activation of the diamond capstone that draws in a pillar of light, much like the bar in the barbell described above. This pillar of light is a reminder of the pranic tube that can be activated in every human being. It is the opening of the crown chakra, that soft spot at the top of the head of a child. When we love and welcome our Divine self and align our bodies in balance with Mother Earth from which these bodies are created, we open the Crown Chakra, the human stargate and thus the pranic tube fills with light and we become the Nine energy - actively participating as a bridge between heaven and earth.

To master the Nine, one should practice filling the pranic tube with light each day, and allowing the information of the universe to flow through us. By doing this we receive answers to questions we have asked, and frequently to questions that others we will encounter have asked. This is why those who are Nine’s in this life give answers easily, humbly and before being asked. Nines will naturally open to Source and bridge. They need time away from the crowd and they do not like being in a group of more than three. They are humble and seldom require any of the fashionable material toys. They focus on the small things and know joy and contentment in deeper ways than the other numbers. Nines are always a gift to the world in some way because they do function as bridge between worlds.

October 2013 & It’s Frequencies

October is: O (6) + c (3) + t (2) + o (6) + b (2) + e (5) + r (9) = 33 the master number of 3

2013: 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6

Total: 33 + 6 = 39 = 3 

October’s frequency of Thirty-Three is a powerful energy. It is the master energy of Mother Earth, a nurturing, family energy that is concerned with the feminine, the creative powers of our planet and how humans can assist in this creation. This is the month where we celebrate the harvest in the Northern Hemisphere and where they celebrate the new birth of life in the Southern Hemisphere. To gain the greatest value in this month, choose to nurture life around you, if you don’t recycle, start. Consider the earth in new ways. Plan to take walks in nature, perhaps help out with some clean up action in your neighborhood, or if you can participate in the harvest, do so actively thanking Mother Earth for all she produces for us.

Take time this month to honor the temple you have, though it came through your biological mother, it is part of Mother Earth and when you nurture your body, you are honoring the Earth Mother.   

By adding 2013’s six frequency to this month’s Thirty Three we activate Three, which simply reiterates all that has been stated above. It is a time to choose to reunite family, to ignite our awareness to the family of all life that is around us. These bodies are part of Mother Earth, not just the human body but all the bodies on this planet, four-legged, finned, winged, as well as all vegetation, trees and mountains. We live on the skin of our great Mother. October 2013 asks us to remember our part in this creation, to unite with all life and to choose to master this creative process.

Empowering Numerology - The Number Eight & September 2013 Frequencies

We have looked at each number as it evolved through to number Seven. Now let us look at the number Eight - this is a number of beauty, balance and eternal or infinite movement.

The number Eight itself, is a beautiful curved dance of symmetry, balanced top and bottom. This graceful figure is seen in a racetrack, a challenging dressage movement, and in the ancient timekeeper, the hourglass. All of these things contain parts of the beauty and challenges of Eight’s frequencies. On the racetrack, the car speeds in a circular pattern only to cross over and shift in the other direction. This requires sharp intellect, fast response and perfect balance. In the act of the figure eight in dressage, the speed is replaced with precise rhythm, also requiring perfect balance, and sharp intellect on the part of horse and rider to make flying lead changes as they cross the center point. The hourglass is a symbol of balance, and it shows the sequence in time through a path of beauty as the sand slowly and precisely measures an hour. All of these elements are part of the frequency of Eight…beauty, rhythm, balance, speed of thought, sharp intellect, and even the balance of time.

Balance in Eights frequency is active within every level; physical, emotional, mental and subconscious. Additionally it includes karma. Karmic balance is seen physically in the court and prison system. The ancient scales of justice form a figure eight. Egypt’s guardian of the underworld, Anubis, checked the karmic scales by weighing one’s heart against the feather of Maat, the goddess who at the point of creation is known to change chaos to harmony and balance.

Thus an individual Eight may create harmony and beauty in different ways. It may be through the arts or diplomacy, by initiating balance through the courts; or they may be brought into balance required to pay for karmic deeds from this or some past life.

The letters of the word Eight, reduce to the single digit Four, which is the stable frequency of the four cornerstones of creation: physical, emotional, mental and subconscious, and the four elements: earth, fire, water and air. Eight is the higher octave of Four taking all that Four signifies and erasing the challenges that form in each ninety degree corner. In the Eight, all of Creation comes together seamlessly moving in balanced, infinite creative motion. The frequency of Eight contains the symmetry of Creation. It is the number of celestial music, the music of our solar system.

People who carry the Eight frequency through their date of birth or name, have a deep awareness and need for balance. They are the artists, musicians, decorators, designers, mediators, diplomats, judges and jailers. They see the world, people and all life through a balancing filter. Eights frequency creates a need to fill the world with beauty. Even if an Eight is poor, they will find a way to create beauty in their environment, for to live without it kills their passion and is a kind of death to an Eight.

Their need for peace and harmony is often the root of their challenges. An Eight will forfeit their own needs and desires in order to make their home or workplace more harmonious. This may include taking on more work or more projects to help everyone else out, or to keep others from complaining. Eventually their energy is drained, they become overwhelmed and lose their state of balance, their own inner peace. These periods are called, “The dark night of soul.” They are times of feeling lost and unsure what to do.

Now the Eight feels frustrated and desperately requires balance. The greatest help an Eight can get is through mother earth. Connect with her in the grass, sand, snow, creek, or ocean. Ask her to drain the emotions from you. Then breathe deeply and allow the air to clear your mind. Now take the time to review your own needs and erect the boundaries you need to rebalance.

Unfortunately when most Eights are out of balance, they turn to others for insight. This may work, but since the responsibility of learning is placed on the individual, the advice of others usually creates strife within the Eight. They fight with themselves and this leads to even more unbalance. 

Because the Eight is outgoing, a good listener and aware of others needs; to achieve mastery, they must practice listening to their own hearts and fulfilling their own needs. Eights need to learn to say, “No.” and set boundaries to maintain balance. 

September 2013 & It’s Frequencies

September is: S (1) + e (5) + p (7) + t (2) + e (5) + m (4) + b (2) + e (5) + r (9) = 31 = 4

2013: 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6

Total: 4 + 6 = 10 = 1 

September’s frequency of Four is earthy and health oriented. It asks us to look at the four cornerstones we have built in our lives. Are we comfortable with our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual achievements?

Do we feel in control of our lives? Are we healthy, physically fit, emotionally happy, mentally acute and spiritually aware? If any area is lacking, September’s frequency will help us set new goals and begin to establish habits that will lead to fulfillment when the Four revisits us in its steamy watery frequency in November.   

By adding 2013’s six frequency to this month’s Four, we activate One, which gives us the singular focus of power to manifest the goals we set and the choices we make under the Four. Use September’s frequencies to your greatest benefit. Determine where you are not satisfied with your life and tell the universe you are ready to take control. Then create the plan you need to achieve your goal and know that when November arrives, you will be well on your way to the healthy, happy, abundant life you desire.

Empowering Numerology ~ The Number Seven & August 2013 Frequencies

Once we have understood the frequency of Six with all its choices, we are ready for the dynamic frequency of seven, the number of change.

Seven takes man beyond his egocentric self and helps him see himself as part of the solar system and universe. Before the frequency of seven entered man’s consciousness, he was completely self-absorbed. He lived in a state that may have fluctuated with intuitive glimpses of Spirit and the Divine but as he came to the frequency of six, all that was considered possible suddenly expanded and through the many choices that became available, the frequency of seven beckoned him to take a chance, leap, and risk everything for the fast thrill of a whole new world.

Seven is the number of the original stellar bodies that man studied right up until the 19th century…the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. These seven luminaries and planets moved through the night sky and when they made certain geometric patterns, astronomers and astrologers noted major changes on earth, in nations and people.

The seventh celestial body is Saturn, which takes approximately twenty-eight years to orbit the Sun. Saturn is known as the disciplinarian, judge, authority figure, structure builder and government. At the moment when an individual takes their first breath, Saturn along with all the other planets and luminaries leaves a geometric pattern on the individual’s DNA. As the individual grows through life, Saturn in the sky will activate this birth pattern approximately every seven years creating major changes. These changes may be breakups because the foundation was not built properly, or may be a consolidation or graduation due to a job well done.

The old saying about the, ‘Seven year itch’, which activates breakups in relationships, is due to the movement of Saturn on a couple’s wedding chart (the moment a couple says, “I do,” a wedding chart is born.)

Seven’s shape is the most dramatic of any number. Like a great cliff from which one might leap, this number motivates. I call people who carry seven’s frequency, Risk Taker, Motivator, Change Maker and Gambler. It is no surprise that gambler’s call seven a lucky number.

But even as this frequency activates change, and those whose lives are tied to it would be unhappy in a monotonous life style; so too, change can be their Achilles heel.

When circumstances beyond the seven person’s control, remove someone or something from their lives, sevens find it emotionally painful and may take a long time to let go, forgive and be grateful. They will fall into a state of self-pity and can wallow there for seven years. The very best way to get them up and active again is to tempt them with a new adventure.

Seven is an optimistic number and a fast moving energy. Those who carry this energy drive faster than the rest of us and take far more chances in life. 

To achieve mastery with seven, we must discover joy in change, let go of emotional attachments that are beyond our control and take risks not by racing off the cliff, but by setting a foundation before we leap, thus we leave the cliff in a comfortable glider thrilling to the freedom of flight and filling ourselves with fresh air and broad new ideas. 

August 2013 & It’s Frequencies

August is: A (1) + u (3) + g (7) + u (3) + s (1) + t (2) = 17 = 8

2013: 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6

Total: 8 + 6 = 14 = 5 

The word August not only reduces to the number eight, but it is also the eighth month.

Eight’s frequency signals a need for balance, it is the number of the artist and the creative. Just as the number swirls beautifully, curving back into itself, so too does its frequency activate beautiful compositions in music, art, poetry, and all creative works. Being a number of balance it is also the number of justice, or karmic balance, so though it appears non-threatening, when it is active if the individual has not lived by the laws of karma, it will call for a karmic rebalancing. The great scales of justice are a symbol for the number eight.

Thus this month is a time to review all areas of your life and re-balance as necessary; not with a harsh attitude but rather with a song, a dance, and in rhythm to your heart. It is a time when creative energy flows and people find they must separate from certain experiences, choices, habits, things or people in order to come into harmony with themselves again.

When we add 2013’s six frequency to this month’s eight and create the additional frequency of five, we have a mix that requires us to consciously learn to choose balance or suffer the repercussions of karmic trials. So I highly recommend you welcome eight, six and five into your home and heart this month. Let them teach you to sing, paint, and dance into balance. Take time to review what you learn from them each week and this will give you a new outlook and a more balanced creative flow. If you have any unresolved legal issues, it is best to tackle them consciously this month and bring all parts of your life into balance.

Mercury Stations Direct in Cancer / Full Moon in Aquarius July 20 - Sept 5, 2013

Today at 11:22 am PT / 2:22 pm ET, Mercury will station direct at 13:22 Cancer, this may have activated some incredible dreams for anyone with their Mercury, Moon or 4th house cusp in mid Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces. It may also bring emotions and childhood memories to the surface, as well as a call from home.

As we leave this Mercury Retrograde period, we will also be entering a Full Moon period on Monday in Aquarius.

Full Moons are always times of completion, fulfillment and endings. The Aquarius Full Moon was considered by ancients the most fulfilling. Probably because this is the time when the Sun has its greatest power, in its own sign of Leo. Consider what you set in motion last Winter under the New Moon in Aquarius (back between Feb 9 -24th) and look for its rewards during the next two weeks.

Additionally it is time to connect with friends, have long conversations and allow ideas to flow in new unconventional ways. If you wanted to try something different, something that edges on the unusual, this is a great time fulfill that desire.

Aquarius is also the sign of the soapbox, the voice of revolution and change, so if you are an air or fire sign (Air: Aquarius, Libra, Gemini; Fire: Leo, Sagittarius, Aries) you may find yourself more vocal and taking action on something you only thought about before now. If you are an earth or water sign (Earth: Virgo, Capricorn, Taurus; Water: Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer) then you may feel stressed or challenged by ideas and words of friends that may seem radical to you.

On the world scene this Aquarian Full Moon under the shadow of Mercury stationing Direct, will bring a crescendo of family & national voices longing for justice, and equality. We are already seeing this in the Trayvon Martin movement and the issues of 'Stand Your Ground' laws. But it will not only be here in the US that we will see actions, marches, demonstrations and vocal revolution, but around the world.

The fascinating thing about this year, is we will see two Full Moons in Aquarius with the New Moon in Leo packed between them. Wow, this is truly a sign of change and revolution. With a New Moon in Leo, whole new kinds of leadership come to the aid of those working toward change. This new leadership will likely be from cultural creatives, children and entertainers, and may include leaders of nations.

So as we watch the international scene, you can expect a kind of cyclic wave between now and September 5th. It begins with movements, voices, demonstrations which are mostly unique in that they will be cooperating groups. Then as the cycle moves forward into Leo, watch for new leadership and action. Unfortunately it may include some difficult activities as well since at times the Leo energy can be ego oriented and irresponsible. But then as that period closes and the final Full Moon in Aquarius is back on August 20, there will be a renewal and we may actually see outcomes that surprise us.

As the New Moon in Virgo starts September 5th, these new beginnings may take a practical turn, being discussed in legislature or find a way to be engineered into our world.

July 3013 - Numerology - The Number Six & The Mark of The Beast

Empowering Numerology

The Number Six

Last month we examined the number five, which links us beyond the physical to Source. This month we go beyond viewing Source and it’s power of creation to the number six, which asks us to activate our awareness of the choices we make as part of the power of the creative force.

The number six is the midpoint between three and nine. Three represents the creative power of the masculine and feminine either in alignment with Source or completely focused on the physical. It is either powerfully creating for good or manifesting out of fear. The nine is a number of great wisdom and completion. 

This midpoint focuses on choices. Six is a happy vibration and it will test one to choose from the heart, which is the wisdom of six.

Six has both symmetry and confusion like pool balls perfectly racked then scattered by a focused cue ball, creating numerous choices to win the game. Six is the first number with so many options that the mind wrestles with them. This is the test, and of course the opportunity to rise to the next level.

The interesting number of 666, (a master number), is called by some people, “The Mark of the Beast.” It carries the vibration of the three energized six times, the frequency of choices that has multiplied six times, therefore temptation to choose poorly is increased, and also reduces to the number nine, which concludes with mastering choices.

The association of 666 was created through religious paths, relating this number of ‘The Beast” to the devil,  evil, etc. To understand the basis of this entity, we need to realize that in the density of the physical form, there will be many temptations. “The Beast”, (evil), is simply lack of awareness or consciousness in making a choice for the good of the whole, which is how the Divine self always chooses. Making choices cloaked with lusty overtones, which create new frequencies in our bodies, minds and emotional levels, feed on greed in all its varying forms.

To fully understand six and six, six, six; here is a mundane example. A diabetic person knows eating sugary foods is not wise. At dinner ice cream is offered for dessert. Though this is not what the body wants, they give in to their emotional and mental desires and eat the ice cream. It seems a simple choice but it is not the choice that the Divine Self would make.

In our higher bodies we view the universe and all its contents as a continuum, a whole. We see it in terms of frequency and will always choose to accelerate the frequencies, not lower them. But in the human consciousness, we ignore this and the needs of the trillions of sentient beings that make up our physical bodies (our personal universe), and allow the lust of emotional and mental desire to run rampant.  

When we ignore what the heart knows, and act on desire we fulfill the saying; “The devil made me do it.” Thus, we can understand the mark of the beast is simply many choices that cause us to succumb to our desires and cause pain to ourselves or others.

When we achieve mastery through this frequency we will no longer be swayed by temptations.

Another fact regarding the number 666, is that in the periodic table it signifies the element of carbon; the basis of our physical bodies. When placed under great pressure for centuries carbon is transformed to a diamond. This is completely in alignment with soul’s journey in the physical world. It often takes hundreds of lifetimes to learn to choose wisely in every arena of physical life. When we do achieve this, we are no longer the 666 but are transformed to its reduction, the 9 in its highest form.

On a personal level, the number six, through birth date or name, indicates a life filled with choices designed to help achieve mastery. I call the sixes, the social butterflies. They are great networkers, love talking and interfacing with others, laugh easily and are usually gracious, fun-loving people. Their challenge is to choose from the heart rather than through peer, family, cultural pressure or fear. Like the butterfly, they transform in life and are both colorful and flighty. Because choices are their path, making commitments is their challenge. So this frequency requires some kind of sanctuary in any committed relationship…it may simply be a room of their own.

2013 is a six year, so all these issues will be apparent this year. To fulfill the highest level of six, one can practice viewing all life as a continuum and making conscious choices each day. A simple technique; begin the day by consciously saying, “Today all I do, say or think, is for the good of the whole.” Then, in the evening, review the choices you made. Writing them down prepares you for the next day. Over time you will transform. The benefits are peace at every level. To be at peace with all life is what it means to be a diamond.

July 2013 & It’s Frequencies

July is: J (1) + u (3) + l (3) + y (7) = 14 = 5

2013: 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6

Total: 5 + 6 = 11 

Like June, July carries the frequency of 5, the number of knowledge. But, unlike June, July is a feminine water five. So, in this month we have the vast knowledge of Mother Earth graciously nurturing us.

July’s five frequency, is perfect for connecting with family, nurturing, learning or sharing with everyone we call family.

Additionally, it is a good time to extend the family connection to the wisdom and medicine of all life forms because the watery five energy, opens the channels for us to communicate and understand all forms of life. Now, is the time to listen to your animal friends, because July’s frequency will help you understand them.

When we add 2013 to the frequency equation, we will be faced with choices regarding our care for the Earth, its creatures and it may also be our biological mother or other females or female issues. Remember, choose from your heart center, not your mind or emotions. Choose for the good of the whole and begin   achieving the mastery inherent in July 2013…that of 11. Eleven is the feminine mastery of manifestation; the doorway to other worlds through dreams and visions. Thus, July’s nurturing nature extends to great naptimes, meditations with nature and, an awakened awareness of when your body is on automatic and you are off in other worlds. Enjoy this month, it offers so much at every level and a great opportunity to accelerate humanity’s frequencies and awareness.

June 2013 - Empowering Numerology - The Number 5

Last month we examined earth’s own physical number, the number four. This month we move to a whole new level with the Number Five. Where Four connected the four elements of: Fire, Earth, Air and Water; the number Five adds Spirit, the force of eternal creation. 

In its most basic shape, Five looks much like a house, or a container with a pitched roof. In other words it is a container that holds what comes in from above. This house-like shape represents the heavens pouring life force into the four elements. The number Five is the fifth element, Spirit. The earth (number 4) is the box at the bottom, and at the highest point, the number Five pours Spirit into the earth. This energy or frequency activates the creation of all forms of life.

The human form is a pinnacle of Five. It is fully represented in the number Five by a human with arms and legs out-stretched, the top of the head being the pinnacle or fifth point. Humans are the pinnacles because only the human form has the ability to control and dominate, for good or evil, all other forms on the planet.

When a human child is born, the top of the head, which we call the crown chakra is the entrance point of the life energy, or soul. This point remains soft till most children are between five and seven years old, for during these early years, the individuated consciousness that is taking on a personality in the physical form, is still traveling between worlds. This is the rooftop of the human form, also known as the entrance of the pranic tube. Through this part of the body, the fifth element, Spirit continues to activate and inform the consciousness of the new personality or human form. After the age of seven, a person must consciously choose to open this doorway to receive the input of the higher self, spiritual self or Spirit.

With the Five frequency pouring into the crown chakra of humans, there is an enormous responsibility to carry the information of Creator into the physical world of Creation. Five is the number of Knowledge. Inherent in this number is the ability to achieve wisdom, though most will be stuck in the material worlds, or the emotional and mental worlds and thus miss the opportunity to experience the three hundred sixty degree viewpoint of Spirit.

When we are in harmony with Five, we are open to hear the voice of creation, imagination, and inspiration. Some may call it intuition. When we are out of sync with five, we feel lost, not knowing which way to go, and we fall into the path of worry. Worry ignores the present and focuses on the past or the future, too often dragging past issues into the future.

If we wish to activate Five in our lives, we must first live in the present. Dismiss the issues of the past, bless them, be grateful to them and let them go. Then instead of obsessing with outcomes and the details of how to manifest; sit still and allow Spirit to flow into our consciousness. Fully visualize the crown chakra open with light, fill with love and gratitude for all life, then rest in it. The information will arrive. Perhaps not in the exact moment but when we least expect it. That ‘Aha!’ moment happens and we see clearly the next step. A sense of peace will envelop anyone who opens, to allow Spirit to live in his or her house, which we call a human form. 

June 2013 & It’s Frequencies

June is J (1) + u (3) + n (5) + e (5) = 14, which reduces to 5

2013 is 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6

Total 5 + 6 = 11, which is a Master Number, so we will not reduce it any further.

June carries the frequency of the number five, the number of knowledge. Junes’ ‘Five’ is neither feminine nor masculine but rather it oscillates between the two, and it’s element is ‘Air’. June’s Five activates socializing, communicating knowledge and networking without distinction to gender. Here the five speaks to community, as in, “It takes a village to raise a child.”  When we connect with others, without allowing society’s issues of ethnicity, culture, creed, politics, caste, clothing or lifestyle, to get in the way, we utilize the frequency of June. By connecting transparently with others, we release the reservoir of knowledge that we often forget we have. We discover our own wisdom, while gaining knowledge, compassion and understanding with others.  

Use June’s frequency to speak from your heart without concern for how others may criticize you. Allow yourself to flow into the world. The salutation, “Namaste!” resonates to five.  This greeting means, “I bless the Divine in you!” It acknowledges that we are connected to the source of creation and that we each carry this great light, though some choose not to allow it to shine. When we approach all life, not just the human form with the thought, ‘Namaste!’ we align with five and activate our ability to accept the wisdom of creation from every source, from plant and tree, to animal and man.

The full numerology of June 2013 asks us to make a conscious choice (6) to master our ability to manifest our dreams (11), by opening to our own source of wisdom by sharing with others from our hearts without prejudice (5).

Considering the frequencies of June 2013, whose numbers are 5, 6, 11, this month asks us to stay in the present moment and dream here and now, knowing full well our dream is cradled by others till it becomes physical. It asks us to connect with others without prejudice so that we can assist others through our speech, in manifesting their dreams. Doing this will bring amazing rewards from speeding up your own manifestation process to discovering the depth of your own wisdom.

May 2013 - Empowering Numerology - The Number 4

This month we will look at the number four, which is the first fully physical number. Through four, we become grounded on this earth. It signifies physical Creation, the power of the four directions and the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air and Water. These sustain all life and remind us of how our planet came to be.

Earth began as a renegade fiery rock charging through this solar system.  Eventually it reached a place in space where the inertia of its movement and the magnetics of the Sun, as well as other planets in our solar system, caused it to settle into an orbit; the comfortable spot it has held for millennium in the eco-system of this solar system. While the rock cooled, it developed a balanced spin and a steady orbit, and waters that may have been trapped inside or frozen in deep pockets rose to the surface. They formed oceans, ice caps, rivers, lakes and springs. Water filled a large portion of the surface of the now developing planet, while changes of hot and cold, due to the spin and the stretch of the orbit created seasonal and regional climates; thus the planet developed an atmosphere. This created the perfect environment for many life forms.

Contained in the number four is the history of earth. In single strokes, four creates a square, the foundation of a building, a protective perimeter, a controlled space; the symbol for the basis of grounded growth.

The four corners of the space symbolize the four cornerstones of creation and in each individual’s life they are represented in several ways:

• The personal line of creation: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual parts of who we are.
• The integrating line of creation: the self, the pairing or mating relationship, the progeny and the genetic/dynastic ancestry.
• The tribal line of creation: the individual personality, the family circle, the tribal service/career and the tribal outreach - warrior or diplomat

Additionally in complex nations like ours, where ethnicities and religions are mixed the tribal line breaks into two other parts;

• The national/patriotic line of creation - identical to the tribal except it, aligns with the government, not ethnic culture.
• The religious line of creation - identical to the tribal except this aligns with religious beliefs which may be global as in Christian or Hindu, etc; or more specific as in Lutheran verses Catholic. 

This information helps us explore where we focus and how we ground. Taking time to consider each area will reveal where we are out of balance. By understanding the areas in our lines of creation, we begin to understand the number four. Bringing issues into balance, we take control of our lives, and thus create personal peace.

When we are in harmony with four. we are in total control of our lives. When out of sync with four, we discover an area where we’re telling others what to do and how to do it. We’re taking away someone else’s power of choice, taking on a karmic burden and losing control of our lives.

Being the foundation of creation for the human form, and its stability; four asks that we anchor the four elements within ourselves: fire (passion and creativity), with water (emotions, dreams, and sensitivity), with air (thoughts, words and judgments), and earth (actions, and physical health).

When each area is in balance, we have peace and happiness in our lives.

Here is a simple chant to help bring the number four into balance: “El Ka Leem Om.”  Repeat in rounds of four. These are the Sanskrit words for Earth, Fire, Water and Air. By chanting them we call in the Divine Intelligence of each element to bring peace and balance.

May 2013 & It’s Frequencies

May is M (4) + a (1) + y (7) = 12, which reduces to 3

2013 is 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6

Total 3 + 6 = 9

May carries the frequency of the number three, the number of nurturing. Three is feminine water. It signals the union or separation of two, which results in a third part. Being an act of creation from the two, this third part must be nurtured to grow. May’s energy of Taurian earth, takes the three from watery emotion to practical action. So in May, three is about nurturing the physical body in practical ways. When we satiate the body, we nurture our emotions and mental activity flattens into a peaceful zone.

Nurturing the body can be done with food, and physical pleasures of all kinds: massage, swimming, dance, etc. May emphasizes dancing with nature. We may do a Hawaiian hula, playfully celebrate with the May pole, or waltz in the woods. Whatever dance we choose will align us with the four elements and they will ground and balance us with love, compassion, mental clarity and inspired passion. 

The full numerology of May 2013 asks us to make a conscious choice (6) to nurture ourselves and the earth (3), and to fulfill our choices completely (9).

Nine is the perfect number; it encompasses three, threes. While nurturing yourself, you will discover your dreams, and when you nurture your dreams, you will complete both yourself and your dreams. This is the perfect act of completion, which is part of the number nine.

Considering the frequencies of May 2013, whose numbers are 3, 6, 9, this month asks us to choose to complete our self-nurturing dreams. It asks us to ask ourselves, “What would I love to do, that I have said, ‘Someday’…” May 2013 contains the energy to ground our…“Someday dreams”… now.

Fear, anxiety, panic, Reactions from ancient belief systems

www.blogtalkradio.com/iamthelight/2013/04/11/fear

Last Dec 21, 2012, a new frequency flowed into our solar system. It filters through our energy fields and many people are uncomfortable with it, while others find it pushing them to change their lives.

To flow with this new frequency we need to release old belief systems, which are buried deep our subconscious. They are patterns developed through religions and tribal/ethnic cultures. 

These beliefs gave us community, but did not share truth. They taught us to fear, anger, hate, fight and flee without logic, divinity or love. 

Last night on my new podcast, which we do each Wednesday night at 7pm PT / 10pm ET on blogtalkradio.com/Iamthelight I addressed some of the issues of fear, offering deeper understanding, insights and techniques to help free you. 

Here is the podcast for you to enjoy

Mercury Retrograde, Full Moon, Saturn, Pluto = Busting Belief Systems

Saturday, February 23rd, Mercury stationed Retrograde at 19:52 Pisces, while on Monday, February 25th we entered a 7:24 Virgo Full Moon cycle. 

As you may have heard me mention before, this cycle will be filled with news, so much will happen that you will have to take extra time to learn about it and may not hear all of it for months. 

But let's look at what it means to the individual. 

Though anyone over 20 has experienced a Mercury Retrograde in Pisces before, this one is potent and unique because of where our solar system is in the galactic center, the frequencies that have been released back on December 21, and the fact that Saturn and Pluto are working with Mercury to transform old belief systems that have imprisoned the collective consciousness for the last 26,000 years. 

Additionally during this two week moon cycle we will experience the struggle of self-criticism, external criticism and all the issues of perfection and imperfection that hold us from being whole and happy. This is a period where every form of self-sabotage will rear it's head. 

Rising from the depths of ancient lifetimes through one's psyche, there may be irrational feelings of anger. To put your finger on why you are angry may be a little bit difficult because it has to do with patterns embedded in your consciousness through belief systems that were designed to control us and sabotage our understanding of our own power. 

So let those feelings rise and release them. 

If you know EFT, use it, if you are familiar with Tom Kenyon's work read his latest Hathors report and use the meditation and sound frequencies that they offer through him. 

At this time, all humanity is on a journey of significant change and this period is one direct wave. 

Lightbearers need to stay grounded because as all the controlling belief systems are uprooted, many will not be able to handle a completely new way of viewing who we are. A view that is based on truth rather than man's reaction to the physicality and his need to control it.

Empower Yourself with Numerology

Have you ever wondered if numbers have power? Do they have meaning? Can numerology empower you in life? 

Numbers are used everywhere. You can’t go through a single day without engaging with numbers. “How much does this cost?” “What was the phone number?” “Did you get that address right?” “What is your zip code?” “Please put in your pin number.” “Can I get your zip code?” “That show is on channel 231.”

Basic numerology addresses the birth date and the name that appears on a birth certificate. But is that all there is?
Every bit of Creation is connected, not coincidentally,  but logically and numbers are a key to all of it.  All numbers have a frequency, much like the notes on a musical scale. When we speak or think, we activate frequencies and each has a numeric basis or counterpart.

So what does it mean and how can this knowledge help us in our journey for joy, health, love and prosperity?

Let’s start with the most basic number: One, 1, or I. It is a single note, clear frequency, a directive of energy. It reflects what the Ancients called, The Pole*, and for which the Pole Star was named. This ancient energy calls in Primordial Creation, God/Spirit, Direction, Support and the Act of Manifestation.

It is not a unifying number but an individuating one. It is interesting when we realize that One begins all creation and it is about, I, the letter whose numerical counterpart is the number, Nine, which is the completion of all things.

So in this first number, we become aware of a basic principle of creation, it all begins with One and it is the One who will complete the act. 


This number informs us that we are the creators of our universe, we begin it and we complete it, but we must also realize that it is a great expansive circle that once we complete, we begin again on a higher frequency. Understanding this allows you to realize that nothing is flat in creation, but all things spiral and are seen as flat when we look up or down, from the center, which is where each of us stand in our worlds of creation.

Let us come back to the mundane and look at how we can use the number one in daily life.  When we focus our lives through the filter of One, we consciously engage the universe to manifest what we want.

So how do we use this ‘One’ filter? First step is to be aware, that is what we opened in the previous paragraphs. Secondly, we must focus this energy through words, song, meditation, prayer, writing and thought.

Sankrit writing of the word, OM

The key word of power, which represents the Sacred Element of Air, calling in the wisdom of the Ancients, is ‘OM.’ O=6, M=4, together they create 10, which reduced to one digit becomes the number, 1.**  See note below on how to reduce numbers in numerology.

When we focus on the word, OM, sing it, write it, and add to it the images or words of what we desire, we send a clear, focused message to Spirit.

This frequency can be taken to an even higher octave, by going to a word that is the Master Number*** of one, a word that equals 11, ‘HU.’ (Pronounced like ‘hue.’)

Modern Numerology's Alpha Numeric Chart

This chart allows you to quickly access the number related to any letter. Thus you can identify what numbers are active through a name, or address.



When looking at the chart, the letters listed below each number will activate that frequency and you can add them together to find the power of a word. For example, the name, Art. Look at the column with number one at the top. There you will find A, thus A=1, R is located in the 9 column, so R=9, and T is located in the 2 column, so T=2. Thus for Art we would add, 1+9+2=12, which when reduced = 3.

I welcome any questions about the meaning of a name, and will be addressing names in this new monthly column later in the year.

FEBRUARY 2013

Hidden Frequencies From Our Collective Consciousness

This period in the Gregorian Calendar, which has been adopted by the Western Collective Consciousness is called February 2013, or Feb. 2013, it carries a numerological frequency unlike any other time in our lives.

Here is how the numerology adds up.  February, 6+5+2+9+3+1+9+7=42, which reduces to 6. This number is also the key number for the entire year of 2013, six, which makes 2013 a year of choices, networking, and gives a more optimistic attitude.

When we add February’s 6 to 2013’s, 6, we have 12, which equals 3, the number of nurturing, family, re-uniting, working together through challenges. So the current frequency is aligned with working through challenges, new children, those who divide and naturally, how we will make choices during this time is key.

This is not the only frequency for the month, additionally, we call February, Feb, which adds up to: 13 and thus the number, 4. These frequencies tell us it is time to transform and take control instead of controlling others, or giving away control.  The four regains all the corners of the universe, it activates all centers and swiftly frees or directs.

Using all of February’s frequencies to achieve the best possible outcome, this is what is indicated: 

·       Be aware of the choices you make this month (2013 will ask this each month.)
·       Make choices to nurture others as family. Allow the love of the Earth to flow through your heart center as you approach life this month.
·       This energy will help you reclaim your power and stop controlling others. Share what you know, but remember that it is not wise to force your knowledge on anyone. It is a period to remember to honor and respect the choices others make for their lives, even if you think you know better. This is the answer to empowerment under the number four. Examine the choices you are making in each cornerstone of your life, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Focus your choices on nurturing and self-empowerment, and you will fulfill numerology’s frequency for February 2013.

*The ancients believed there was a pole that held up the heavens, and that information was sent back and forth to heaven through this mighty pole.

**In numerology, all numbers are added together and then reduced to a single digit, unless after adding them together the result is a number with double digits, such as: 11, 22, 33, 44, etc. These remain intact and are called Master Numbers.

***Master numbers are all numbers that consist of replicating digits, such as 11, 22, 111, 222, 444,444, etc. Master numbers activate the originating frequency to a higher octave and thus empower the individual exponentially.

Cross Species Friendships - An Elephant & A Dog

Here is yet another example of how the Divine Innocents (what people call, animals) are teaching us to love each other. Best friends between unusual species causes humans to take notice, and re-consider what is possible. 

This amazing film shares a story of loving friendship between an elephant named Tarra, and a dog named, Bella. It should open any heart; and cause the mind to question why we can't find common ground with other human beings.

Perhaps it is that we have lost sight of what is important and have created too many distractions through mental gymnastics, which we use to answer questions like, "Why am I here?"

We invented religions that instead of unifying us, divide us.

We have created moral grounds through ideas, and forgotten common sense.

We have set in motion a vehicle of exchange, in money or precious metals, which gives power to the few, while the most valuable vehicle of exchange, which is love, is overlooked completely.

No other species has done this. They overlook all shortcomings, except in issues of hunger.

But even hunger may not be grounds for fighting. Here is a video of a cat sharing milk with a rat.

And another amazing study* shows one rat faced with a choice of either freeing another rat or opening a capsule with food and eating it. This rat takes no time deciding. He frees his fellow rat first, then opens the food capsule. But then he again surprises us by eating exactly half of the food, and allowing his friend to eat the rest. 

Every experience that these Divine Innocents share, whether by what appears to be co-incidence or through a scientific study, expands human consciousness. 

Each surprising act of animal kindness we experience is a great gift, it expands our consciousness and also shows us we are changing. Today, there are more people then ever before who realize that Love is the only 'Valuable." 

Our desire to serve is in our Divine Nature and many are realizing this. Many are driven by their Divine passion and thus creating change across our collective consciousness. As more people shift their viewpoint to choose to do everything as an act of love, more people will begin to shake free of the mental games, which demand dollars instead of the expression of love, and we will move into a new world.

Enjoy this film and allow your heart to open to the possibilities that previously you thought impossible.

What do you love? Are you doing what you love? If not, ask yourself why. If your only answer is money, re-examine your choices. If you make money so your children will go to college, then what you are doing is an act of love. But alas, if you are not happy with it, you need to re-examine what changes you can make to insure you enjoy the work you do.

Recently a friend told me that she wanted to make a change in the way she makes money. I felt guided to suggest a job as a receptionist and she immediately said, “But I cannot type.” I said, “But you can learn.” This is an example of the blocks we place in our minds that create a personal prison. Best to take a moment to examine what keeps you from your joy and begin to dissolve those blocks.

When we are joyful, we do not see the differences of politics, creed, ethnicity or lifestyle, because joy is love. Consider these things as you watch this exceptional film.


PS:
This film was shot on November 8, 2010 by CBS Evening News. A little less than a year later on November 4, 2011, CBS reported that dear sweet Bella had died. It is thought she was killed by coyotes. But Tarra carried Bella's body over a mile back to the sanctuary center. Bella's body was free of blood but Tarra's trunk had blood on it. Tarra has been grieving over the loss of her friend and the other elephants have brought her food to make her feel better. The Elephant Sanctuary has set up a Bella Memorial Fund to help strays like Bella and to support the elephants as well as some of the fund supports other humane societies. Here is the link: http://www.elephants.com/Bella/Bella.php  or you can donate by buying a little something to remind you of Bella & Tarra in their gift shop at this link: http://www.elephants.com/tarra/TarraBella_Shop.php
