Life Cycles Introduction

One cannot discover new oceans until one
has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you
represents determinism; the way you play it is Free Will.
Jawaharial Nehru

 Human beings have always had difficulty embracing anything that is invisible to the eye. Yet, we know that our ability to see and understand extends far beyond the physical eyes alone. Vision is also possible through the eyes of one’s mind; that marvelous ability we have to imagine - to “image-in” - the possibilities. But what is it that impels us to create what we have imagined?

Our natural creative drive is a form of sight which can only be described as our sixth sense. It is a powerful dimension which has the potential to enhance and, therefore, improve our entire experience of life. The new millennium brings us into the age of intuition: a new cycle of time and space in which we are learning to function, create, and excel, through the free expression of our emotions.

We are all living deeply emotional lives these days. We have entered a long cycle of the evolutionary journey in which we must face the stark realities of ourselves and this world. We are learning how to feel and, in the process, we are realizing the extent of our unused potential to create the lives we want to live. Our sixth sense - emotion - is the human will which, by its very nature, must be free.

We have also become aware that all life operates in clearly defined cycles of time and space which can be calculated and measured by numbers. Far from being predestined, our cyclical nature represents a road-map out of the present “system” to which we are all enslaved; out of those circumstances we thought were unchangeable, and in to the openness of Free Will. The quality of our lives, therefore, is determined by the quality and strength of our desires - our feelings.

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious.
It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this
emotion is a stranger, he who can no longer pause to wonder
and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
Albert Einstein

There is nothing supernatural about the science of numerology. Numbers are natural elements; major effects of space and time that enable us to measure and understand our world, and beyond it. Numbers are the pulse of nature and her endless cycles.

The numbers used in mathematics can be extremely complex and are used to measure and explain the physical realities of life. The numbers used in numerology are remarkably simple and are used to measure and explain the invisible tides and forces that lay beneath the physical. We are living at a time when vast quantities of new information are opening up to us at all levels. Every field of knowledge is expanding into higher levels of understanding. The numbers with which we measure everything in this world are no exception.

Today, we are using numerology as a concise and accurate way of understanding and improving our lives, minds, feelings, bodies, relationships, and circumstances. We travel through life on a sea of numbers. Understanding their deeper meanings can bring order and perspective to what we often believe is our chaos.

Ultimately, a deeper understanding of the cycles through which all human beings travel, cannot help but bring lasting and meaningful change to the world itself. We are learning to be the masters of our complexity instead of its victims.

All men will benefit if we can invoke
the wonders of science instead of its terrors.
John F. Kennedy

Most importantly, we are learning that we still have so much more to learn. We are finding it easier to say “I don’t know” instead of believing that we must always have an answer. We are realizing that many of our so-called leaders and experts have, for decades, been leading us in the wrong direction with their extremism, manipulation, disinformation, and hunger for the control of this Earth. We are realizing that this purely economically based existence is shallow, hollow, and unacceptable as the foundation of human life.

People, everywhere, are seeking an alternative way to live. They are independently seeking the truth, sometimes in areas that were once considered the realms of crackpots, eccentrics, and idealists. But it wasn’t so long ago that the fields of psychology, physical fitness, and holistic medicine were thought of in this way. In fact, it wasn’t so long ago that we thought the world was flat. Perhaps the use of numbers to better understand ourselves is not such a far fetched idea after all. After twenty years of deep research, I believe that numbers represent the framework of humanity’s glorious creative potential.

God hath numbered thy
kingdom, and finished it.
The Book of Ezekiel

The roots of numerology can be found in the ancient civilizations of China, Egypt, Greece, Babylonia, Britain, Tibet, and others. Its principles have been embraced by scientists, philosophers, theologians, and mathematicians through the ages. The theories of Pythagoras, Plato, and even Einstein and Planke are numerologically based. They believed that all is arranged according to number.

If God created all, then numbers are a vital element of God’s creation. If we are ‘created in his image’, then our purpose as human beings must also be a creative one.

To every thing there is a season, and a
time to every purpose under the heaven.
Ecclesiastes

Today’s numerology has broken through its traditional boundaries to a level of knowledge that is quite astonishing. We are now able to define the higher purpose of numbers way beyond anything the ‘ancients’ could possibly have perceived. This is because only now, as we embrace a new cycle of time, can the average human mind comprehend metaphysical realities in practical terms. We are breaking through our self-imposed boundaries which have retarded the human learning process for so long.

Numerology is no longer part of the unknown. What we know about this science today has uncovered a vital link between the cycles of time and the emerging power of our feelings. It is important to understand, from the very beginning, that this is not a book about psychic prediction or fortune telling. It is not even about numerology. This book is about YOU, and this ever changing world in which you are making your own unique voyage of discovery.

Nor is this a technical book. It was written for those who do not necessarily want to learn a new science but simply wish to benefit from what it can do for them. Similarly, when they switch on a light, they may not wish to learn about the intricacies of electricity but simply want the advantage of the light it produces. We all need to shed light on our paths, and Life Cycles: your emotional journey to freedom and happiness will help you do just that.

So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains
And we never even know we have the key.
Jack Tempchin/The Eagles
“Already Gone”

By knowing the nature of the cycle you are in, at any given time, you will understand what is really happening in your life and how to deal with it effectively. Of course, the key is to look at your life more honestly; to think and feel more deeply so that you can see the whole picture and not just the issues you automatically perceive as problems.

You need to look at your entire reality: how your past led you to your present circumstances, and how the decisions you make now, in the present, will determine the quality of your future. Only when you recognize what you are doing wrong can you put things right. And when things are going well, you will not want to sabotage your situation by repeating the same old mistakes you have always made.

The road to Free Will can seem dark and confusing at times because every decision you make must be your own. Allow this book to illuminate your unique and special path so that you can understand what your reality and your potential actually are.

Life Cycles is designed to bring your life to its own natural pace. Sometimes, it will ask you to slow down, stop, or go back into your past. Sometimes you will be urged to speed up, move forward, assert yourself, and get things done. Living your life at the same speed as the cycle you are in brings you to that ideal pace and measure of awareness that enables you to sense your way through life, instead of relying on others to tell you how to live. Listen to and feel what each cycle has to say. Then, consciously apply this information to your circumstances in a way that feels right for you.

There are 9 yearly cycles, and 108 monthly cycles which run concurrently. Yes, it will take nine years to experience all of them. But, in the awesome process of creating your own destiny, 9 years is a small drop in the great ocean of time. As you build the confidence that comes with sensing your way through life, and as your goals materialize into reality, you will know that each goal is just a stepping stone to much greater goals such as freedom, creativity, longevity, peace, love, and understanding. The numbers are not our masters unless we allow them to be. We must master the numbers by constructively using the powers they offer.

We have cycles like the planets.
We come from these waves and cycles.
Why wouldn’t we?
David Duchovny

Each month brings a new energy, a new situation, a new point of view, and a new wave of understanding to gain. You may not always be able to relate to a particular cycle. At these times, you must assess your reality more objectively so that you can see what you are refusing to see, think what you are refusing to think, and feel what you are refusing to feel. This book will help you to do this.   It will also help you to manage the fear that facing one’s reality often produces. Why, you may ask, would you choose to face reality when reality is so hard to look at? Because, if you do not know what your reality is, you will never be able to change those parts of it that you do not like.

Life is NOT an illusion. But the slave-like way in which we live our lives, where only the material is accepted as real, is certainly an illusion - a horrible nightmare - from which we are now waking up! As we awaken, one by one, we realize not only how loathsome we have allowed our world to become, but also how wonderful it could become if we were courageous enough to end our denial of reality and see life as the multi-dimensional miracle that it is.

As you start to recognize the various cycles of your life, there may be aspects you want to ignore because you think they do not apply to you. These are probably the very same aspects you are ignoring and denying in your everyday life, the very issues and emotions which are causing, and have always caused, your biggest and most consistent problems. These are the challenges that are standing between you and the fulfillment of your dreams. These are the cause of your personal nightmare, whatever that may be. First you must admit that these aspects of yourself do indeed exist. Life Cycles will help you to face them, accept them, and heal them.

Most of the harm that occurs in this world comes from our fear of being powerful individuals. Others use this fear to exert their power over us. This is the barrier we put up against our own Free Will. Each month, you will have an opportunity to strengthen your natural powers by releasing yourself from a specific emotional or mental shackle.

Reading ahead of the cycle you are in can be helpful for visualizing, planning, and sensing the course of your journey. However, you cannot judge a particular cycle until you are in it. In fact, looking too far ahead can distract you from what needs to be seen immediately in the here and now. As you travel the monthly segments of your journey, return regularly to the initial description of the current year, as a reminder of its basic principles. If you are starting this book at any time other than the beginning of the year, do not discount the months that have passed. Each month contains a set of valuable insights which may still need to be felt.

Believe in yourself and your heart and find
out what makes you empowered. You have
to create your own destiny and not just sit
back and watch life pass you by.
Drew Barrymore

You cannot hope for a smooth ride through life when you are struggling against your cyclical tides. Going with the flow means flowing freely with your own individual energies, desires, and feelings. This can only be achieved by feeling and expressing every single feeling you have, fully and completely. Only then can you know what your deepest desires actually are.

This book is a personal blueprint, a road map of your natural energy cycles. It contains constructive guidance to whatever happens to you at any time in your life. It enables you to know what your own energy, your own magnetism, feels like. It holds the same importance as knowing where you are in any journey into unknown territory. And by reading about the cycles of the other people in your life, you can gain a much deeper understanding of your various relationships.

This voyage into your own reality will have some exhilarating moments. Not only will love be felt deeply, but different forms of love will make themselves known to you. You will also become astutely aware of those aspects which are preventing love, peace, happiness, and prosperity from entering your life.

When an inner situation is not made conscious
it appears outside as fate.
Carl G. Jung

 Of course, there is no book in the world that can help improve your life if you ignore the information given. The accuracy of this work cannot be judged by merely reading it. Its content cannot be assessed as accurate or inaccurate until it has been consciously applied to your circumstances. Problems begin, continue, or multiply when these insights are ignored. When we deny the existence of a problem, there can never be a solution.   If at first you cannot associate a particular cycle with your own circumstances or feelings, don't give up. It is a matter of recognizing what your circumstances and feelings actually are. All you need is the firm intent - the feeling of desire - to do so.

Life Cycles does not create the experience for you. It does open you up to experiences you are already having, but may be unable to understand or even acknowledge. And, as you feel and express the emotions that arise in each cycle, you will experience the physical, intellectual, and emotional sensations of human growth. You will experience your own magnificent evolution.

Life Cycles is divided into three parts:

WHO YOU ARE:

PART 1 - DESTINY NUMBERS. This explains the energy you were born with; the natural power that you take with you at all times, no matter where you happen to be in the cyclical journey. It does not represent your destiny itself, but the path on which you emerged at birth; the path which provides the experiences you need so that you can create the destiny of your choice. Your destiny number is the fundamental and guiding energy of your unique passage through life.

WHERE YOU ARE:

PART 2 - THE JOURNEY - takes you year by year, month by month through 108 cycles of your life. It explains the hidden forces behind your various circumstances and how to change or maintain course according to your personal needs and desires. When you have completed the nine yearly cycles, the journey does not end there. At that point, you start again from the beginning. But, instead of merely going around in circles and repeating the same old cycles of the past, you will be embarking on a new, evolved, and spiraling journey toward expanded freedom and happiness. You will find that Life Cycles is a book which has no end, and that your potential is as rich and limitless as you choose to make it.

HOW YOU ARE:

PART 3 - Life, Love, and Liberty in the New Millennium (THE HEALING POWER OF EMOTION): This section explains why your emotions are the next great frontier of human understanding, and are the driving force behind everything that happens to you. How you feel dictates all that you create and all that you destroy. Your ability to balance the expanding power of your emotions, in harmony with the expanding power of your mind, sets you free to create the life you want for yourself. This section also explains why peace on earth must be humanity’s primary focus in the new millennium, and why true peace begins within each individual. This information is not always understood immediately. Please read it gradually, slowly, and only when you feel drawn to it. Each time you read it, however, you will learn something new and your life will change - for ever. Have a wonderful journey, my fellow traveler.

There is no end.
There is no beginning.
There is only the infinite passion of life.
Frederico Fellini
