Numbers and Symbols
A reader wrote:
"A while back, you had some interesting information about
people frequently seeing numbers repeated. What about
those of us who always see consecutive numbers or series?
Any time I look at a clock, the numbers are in order -
12:34, 4:56, 6:54, or some kind of series - 2:46, 8:42,
that type of thing. I've gotten to the point where I look
at it as if it were a 24 hour clock instead of a 12 hour,
and, lo and behold, a series is once again visible, such
as 23:45, or not quite in order but still there, like
21:43. This happens in other circumstances as well, like
on street names, weighing fruit at the grocery store, the
numbers on a counter, etc.
Is there something that could explain this? I've tried
searching online for any information, but everything I've
come across only talks about the individual numbers 0 - 12
and duplicates such as 22, 33, and so on.
Thank you for having such a great column."

Hi Kitcats:
Many people believe that when we experience synchronicities
in our lives, be that a pattern of numbers, a special song
coming on the radio at a certain time, or something special
that gets our attention, these are messages from our spirit
guides, our angels, or the Universe (God).
Whether these signs are arranged and staged for us by a
divine force, or whether they are nudges from our own
Higher Selves telling us to 'look now', they certainly
arouse great curiosity once we have noted them, and they
are well worth delving into.
Personally, I take great delight in magickal 'coincidences'
because each time such an observation or event gains our
attention, it is a sign that we are part of something much
greater than we can comprehend.

With seeing number sequences or patterns, I sometimes put
on my skeptic's hat and wonder if it is really true that
I am seeing a particular number, i.e. 11:11 (a common
pattern) more often than I am seeing other random numbers,
or if this number simply jumps out when I do see it, and
therefore I feel it is appearing more often. Either way
though, it doesn't really matter, because each time we
turn our awareness to mystical matters and reflection on
our spiritual beings, it is another step in our journey
to self-discovery.
I feel that there are four ways in which we can look at
the metaphysical symbolism of numbers (and similar rules
apply to dream symbols): esoteric meanings (as defined by
any metaphysical 'authority'), personal meanings, cultural
meanings or universal meanings.
Both symbols and numbers can be metaphors for events, ideas
and concepts and from ancient cave art to the Microsoft
logo, symbols have always been a basis for communication.
Numbers, too, give shape and form to our lives. From being
representations for our most basic units of measure, to
more complex numerical systems such as our calendars, and
to expressing the most complex geometry, astronomy and so
on, we all first agree on what each number represents and
then we explore the possibilities of numerical relation-
ships. Beyond basic algebra, mathematics and geometry,
mankind has been fascinated with numerology since the
ancient Babylonians, the Pythagoreans, the early Christian
mystics, Gnostics and Kabbalists. The East Indians, Chinese
and Egyptians of thousands of years ago also explored the
esoteric symbolism and relationship of numbers.
Pythagoras taught that because the universe is composed
of mathematical patterns, all things can be expressed in
numbers to correspond with universal vibrations. From
music to words, everything we know has a numerical
expression and by relating numbers to any of these things,
we can tune in to the mysteries of existence. Today, there
are many researchers who use numbers, sound and vibrations
in attempts to decode messages that may be hidden in the
intricate patterns of crop circles.
Symbols of all kinds are thought to be engrained into our
subconscious minds, connecting all of humanity, and as
such, the meanings of such symbols, whether they be
pictograms or numbers, are part of the collective
unconscious and represent age old archetypes. We widely
accept for instance, that water is a symbol of the
emotional world, and that air is a symbol for thought
and the intellect. Much research is being done into whether
knowledge of these symbols and archetypes are physically
hardwired into our DNA.

Drum Frenzy - Roll Up Drum Set
------------------------------------------------------------
We have cultural symbols we have acquired throughout
history. Most of us in the west identify the Swastika with
Nazism, a pictogram of a fish with Christianity, and a red
octagon shape with a directive to stop. And of course, in
recent times, one of the most gripping symbols we all
relate to in a numeric code form, is 9/11. The list of
symbols we rely on in our daily lives, without even being
aware of it, is truly astounding.
Personal symbols are, obviously, unique to the individual.
Then we have the accepted but evolving interpretations of
metaphysicians or practitioners of the mystic arts, and
students of New Age Thought, who through the passage of
time create and compile 'meanings' lists, some of which
differ according to the interpreter and again, the
particular field of reference. There are lists and
reference materials for everything from aura colours,
tea leaf patterns, dream symbols, tarot symbology, orb
colours, astronumerology, and so on.
With so many different aspects of meaning, a number 4,
for example, will have a 'dictionary' meaning, just like
seeing an acorn in your tea leaves means money coming
your way and dreaming of dogs denotes friendship and
loyalty. At the same time, these same symbols can be
looked at for archetypal, cultural and personal meanings.
To a Chinese person, seeing the number 4 is a highly
unlucky omen, as the number 4 sounds like the word for
'death'. To another person, a 4 may be fortunate because
it is his date of birth, an acorn may be significant
because he is allergic to them and therefore the message
in the tea cup is not one of monies coming in but a
warning of something that will irritate him. This same
person may have just lost a dog recently so a dream of
a dog may be a message from his departed pet. This is
why, while dream dictionaries, number meaning charts,
and other reference materials can be very helpful sources
of information for decoding mystical messages, we must
also look at our 'personal encyclopedias' when we explore
these messages.
Seeing a sequence like you describe that doesn't fit a
recognizable pattern, is a little bit harder to decode
than a repeated digit or a pictorial image. What I would
do is journal each time you see a specific pattern through-
out the course of a few days or weeks, depending on how
often you are seeing the numbers. After having written
down several combinations, try adding up the digits until
you get a single digit. For instance, if you are seeing
1,2,3,4, add up the digits, 1+2+3+4 = 10. Then refer the
meaning of the number 10, and also the number 1, as that
is the last possible reduction you can achieve, by adding
the 1 + 0. 456 would be 4+5+6 = 15 = 6.
The other thing to be aware of is when the sequence is in
ascending order or descending order. Seeing an ascending
order of numbers can be taken as an indication that your
thoughts/current spiritual outlook is in a growth-oriented,
positive direction. Descending numbers could mean the
opposite, that your thoughts are non-productive or negative
at the time, and you might want to adjust your train of
thought or even a behaviour pattern.
Perhaps you see a string of numbers, with one digit
missing, such as 1,2,4,5. It could be that the qualities
of number 3 are missing from your life. (If anyone needs
a copy of the number meanings list I printed several
weeks ago, you may drop me a line and I will send you a
copy by email).
For anyone seeing nonsequential or repeating random
numbers on a regular basis, try adding them up to get a
single digit and look up the meaning of that number. If
your numbers still don't make sense, you might just have
to put it down to a little cosmic joke. And, if all else
fails, you might want to just list your numbers and use
them the next time you play the lottery:>)

An Angel Visit
I just wanted to tell you about a time when I was growing
up when I was awakened by a very strong pulsating light,
emitting a full range of colors, mostly yellows and whites.
It was in the shape of a ball, I'd say about 3 or four
feet in diameter, and it appeared right in the center of
my bedroom. Naturally I was startled, but even though
it may sound frightening, I felt a sense of calm.
Nonetheless, could not sleep a wink the rest of the night.
It was about 3 am.
At 5 am I heard the phone ringing, and shortly afterwards
the telltale cracking of my father's knees ascending the
stairs. He entered my room to find me perfectly awake. As
he started to tell me that a friend was killed in an auto
accident, I stopped him and said, "I know, at 3:00." My
dad looked at me with those non-believing eyes, always
doubting my strange "knowledge" of the unusual, turned
and walked out.
I later learned that the immensely bright light is an angel
who was watching over the friend and myself. He was with me
when he was called to assist Jim and show him the way to
his new home. I have never looked at "death" the same way
since.

Apport Experiences
My girlfriend and I had a couple of apport experiences.
We were living in an apartment where we would hear keys
jingle every few days, and lights turn on by themselves.
The front door would be opened quite often when we would
arrive home, the chain would still be intact so it would
have had to be opened from the inside, and no one had
keys to the place (even the landlord). I had taken four
panes of glass from the light fixture outside and washed
them. I propped them up on a towel on the kitchen counter
to dry and we left to go run errands. We returned home a
couple of hours later to find two of the panes of glass
gone. Those panes of glass never did return. We also
smelled something burning one time and found the furnace
was running in the middle of summer. The thermostat was
set to the off position and there was heat blowing out
of the vents all over the apartment. After calling the
landlord, he sent the maintenance man right over. He
told us that yes the furnace was running but sure could
not figure out why because the pilot light was not even
lit. Nothing BAD ever happened in that apartment, just
strange things. The weekend we moved out after being there
for a few years, we had our moving truck locked and parked
in the front yard. We were sleeping on the living room
floor with our two cats to finish the move the next
morning. My roommate woke up in the middle of the night
and looked out the front bedroom window to check the truck
and saw something out of the corner of her eye. (Now keep
in mind, we had scrubbed that place from head to toe,
walls, carpets, cabinets, closets and all.) It was dark
in the room but that little something caught her eye
knowing there was nothing there. She walked over, and
sitting perfectly right in the corner of the room on the
floor was a little blue velvet box. It had a ring inside
of it. Like a big engagement ring. We looked at it as a
going away gift from our playful friend whom unseen lived
with us for such a long time. I still have that ring and
have thought often of having it appraised. It fits my ring
finger on my left hand perfectly. I wear it sometimes
still to this day.
Thanks for the opportunity to tell my story.
