12/12/12... A timely message and call for action

Today's date is 12/12/12...  will you make it special?  Will you heed its call?

In numerology, today's number is calculated as:

1+2+1+2+2+0+1+2 = 11

The number 11 is a master number.  It doubles the energy of the 1, and when reduced (1+1), it embodies the energy of the 2.  But what does this mean?

Most numerologists agree that number 11 is a very spiritual number, doubling the energies of creativity and confidence.  In his book "The Life You Were Born To Live", Dan Millman explains that this creative energy can be channeled into classical arts, such as music, dancing, painting, etc., or into healing, business, gardening, problem solving, design, raising children...  What is necessary for the full expression of this energy is the willingness to try something new, to develop a new sense of confidence and risk taking the road less travelled.

Because the number 11 also embodies the energy of the number 2, it also speaks of balance.  In this case, it is of balance between the laws of Nature (or divine laws), and the laws of man.  It is about harmony and balance.  It is about taking what is the best from what we've learned so far in our spiritual development, and truly apply it to our daily lives.  It is about not having two separate philosophies, but integrating them as one; meaning that we must make peace with our duality.  I'm sure you have observed, as I have, people who act very piously in Church and won't even look at you once out the doors, or people who pray very loudly yet commit acts of atrocity against fellow human beings, the animals or the planet.  I'm reminded also of the story of Jesus and the Pharisees...  this duality is not new and we've been experiencing it as a human race for thousands of years.  There is a universal call for integrity and for 'fessing up and living our divine nature everywhere, everyday.

In the Tarot's Major Arcana, the card 11 belongs to Justice.  It is about doing the right thing.  Justice is about balancing all interests, looking for the deeper truth and setting things right.  It is about transcending the ego and looking from the eyes of our Higher Selves for a solution that is for the highest good of all.  Justice talks of the universal principles of balance and inner realignment.  There is no attack, there is no defending; only the search for Higher Truth and Wisdom, beyond veils of illusion, delusion and deception.  The dust will fly as ego traps are uncovered and dismantled, but keep faith and hope for the ultimate outcome is peace.  What is important here is to allow for this peace to transform our lives.

In the Major Arcana still, the 1 is the number of the Magician, while the 2 belongs to the High Priestess.  The Magician invites us to use all resources available to us in this moment to create our vision.  It's about transcending ego and unifying all energies to create our path to self-actualization and self-realization in our life's journey. The High Priestess balances logic and emotion with intuition.  She is a vessel of transformation and holds the faith and confidence in truths yet unseen.  She is a portal to our deeper, collective unconscious and will hold the energy, or the spiritual space, for us to explore without fear.

A long time ago in High School, I had researched a paper on the divine feminine, and the place of women in Church.  One of the priests I interviewed talked of the Holy Trinity and its mysteries and theorized that our history is divided in eras of 2,000 years.  The first 2,000 years were of the Old Testament and getting to know God the Father while the next 2,000 were of the New Testament and getting to know God through Jesus; about learning how to incarnate divine essence within ourselves as Jesus taught us to do.  The following 2,000 years - the era we are entering - is about the Holy Spirit and God the Mother.  The feminine energies of divine law will become more apparent to us.  That was one of the most fascinating interviews I ever had, expanding my teenage consciousness beyond what I had learned thus far and nourishing my thoughts and spiritual development since.

In her book Angel Numbers, Doreen Virtue says of 11: "Stay positive! Your thoughts are materializing rapidly, so you want to ensure positive outcomes by focusing only on the good within yourself, others and the situation." 

And so, have faith.  An increased number of people are feeling anxiety and panic attacks; there is a lot of energy, pre-conceptions and mentality being shifted in a personal and global sense.  The world is changing on so many levels.  Stay strong, and know that good will prevail.  Shifts are always unsettling, but call upon the energy of the Magician and like him, use your resources to create better for you and the planet.  Call upon the energy of the High Priestess so the path to your inner light can be revealed to you.  Call upon the Holy Trinity, and Mother Mary especially, so you can feel divine love and know that no matter what your external circumstances are, you are truly and deeply loved as a child of God.  Choose the goodness in your heart, focus on positive outcomes, and true justice will prevail.

A new era of consciousness is being ushered in.  How will you respond?  Will you resist or allow?  How will you support law-makers, decision-makers, visionaries, parents, teachers and artists?  How will you increase Love and Light to help transcend corporate egos?  In this 12.12.12, there is a call for action; we are not mere spectators.  The Magician, the High Priestess, the Holy Spirit, Jesus and Mother Mary are doers.  They listen to their spiritual guidance, to their inner truth, and bring it forth into the world.  We are called to do the same.  You are called.  Will you come?
