January 2011 (4) Meanings and Universal Law #1

In numerology this coming year 2011 resolves to the number 4 when each of the numbers in it are added together. The number four has long been considered a sacred number of the Pythagoreans representing completion, solidity, stability and equilibrium.

Often referred to as the most primitive of numbers 4 is a “safe” number. It is a feminine number.

Many cultures have four-numbered names for God—Allh (Arabian, Adad (Assyrian), Amun (Egyptian), Itga (Tartar, and Esar (Turkish).

Universally the meaning of the number 4 is the world, the Earth, the Establishment, the number of foundation and solid matter. The points of the compass, the seasons, the elements (earth, air, fire and water), the winds. There are four aspects of the self: physical body, astral body, soul and spirit. There are four functions: sensation, feeling, logical thought and intuition. Four physical senses: hearing, taste, feeling, smell. Four aspects of matter: mineral, gaseous, animal and vegetable.

This “Four” year is one of building, organizing, being efficient, industrious and extremely practical. It is a year of being more “down-to-earth”, more respectable. It indicates a time to slow down and take life more seriously.

During this year I will be taking each of the twelve Universal Laws and talking about them a bit. We’ve heard a lot about the Law of Abundance from movies like the Secret. It is easy to forget there are many other Universal Laws which have been pondered and meditated on for centuries.

The first of these twelve Universal laws is the Law of Divine Oneness - This law is based on the belief that everything is connected and that everything we believe, think, say and do affects everyone and everything in the universe.

Many people have believed throughout time in the oneness of all things and more and more I’ve heard and read the works of others who have come to ponder the oneness of all in this life.

If we are all connected and everything we believe, think, say and do affects everyone and everything in the universe why are some of us trying so hard to find the differences instead of the similarities among people. Why do we find it so hard to celebrate our unity and so very easy to spend billions of dollars and millions of lives making war on one another for what—the bounty of the earth? In the name of God? Domination, control and power.

“He drew a circle to keep me out,

A thing of scorn, and a thing to flout.

But love and I had the wit to win:

We drew a circle that took him in.”

—Edwin Markham

I so love this sentiment. If God is then God is everything — and what does that leave out? No thing. So rather than wrestling with others by thought, word or deed, we can pay attention to what we think about all day long. That is what we become, so if I want more chaos and anger in my life I need to pay attention to what I’m thinking about and if my thinking is chaotic and angry, I can stop! Turn around and change my mind. Put my attention on what my intentions are and look up, tune my thoughts to things that give me courage, neutrality, willingness, acceptance, reason, love, joy, peace and enlightenment.

Sounds like a heavy load to change my thinking to. These words are from the Map of Consciousness from “Power vs. Force” by Sir David R. Hawkins, MD, PhD. http://www.veritaspub.com/ . They resonate at frequencies higher than 100 Hertz and send the harmonies of their word name out and out to cover all of us — our other-selves.

Peace,
