In this 1 Year, April is a 5 month.

2+0+1+7=1+0=1.

April = 4.

1 + 4 = 5.

Week 15 runs from April 9 to 15. It has been a breathtaking week so far – because both 1 and 5 represent fast-moving action and fundamental change. The 4 energy of April corrects inaccuracy, and works hard to get to the truth. 4 operates through fact, detail, and precision. Of course, we will have to wait and see what all this is leading to. But in true 1/4/5 fashion, something significant seems to be unfolding here.

This is likely to include the American aircraft carrier, guided-missile destroyers, and other vessels, which are headed to the Korean Peninsula – at a time when the numbers 1 and 5 have tremendous significance to North Korea itself.

Not only is a large-scale military parade scheduled in Pyongyang for Saturday, April 15, to celebrate the 105th birthday of the late Kim Il Sung, the founder of the Kim Dynasty, April 15 is also the 105th day of the year. Kim Jong Un, according to American records, was born on 8 January, 1984, which places him right now in a 1 Year – 5 month.

1 + 5 = 6, and Kim Jong Un is preparing for his 6th Nuclear test.

ADDED APRIL 18: It now turns out that the aforementioned American war vessels were not headed for the Korean peninsula after all. It was either a lie – or great incompetence – bringing further question to the Trump administrations credibility. Given out by the American government as news, does this not constitute ‘fake news’?

Also, on Saturday April 15th, which is traditionally ‘Tax Day’ in the USA, protest marches are planned in Washington DC, and multiple cities and towns across the country, to demand the release of Donald Trump’s tax information, which would show where his true interests lie. Are these two events, in very different parts of the world, connected? With RUSSIA still very much in the picture – and possibly connected to the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom as well, again we will have to wait and see.

Numbers tend to cluster, visibly, around important events or potentials. And the numeric patterns forming this year are extremely complex because they occur in TRANSITIONAL energy – a gap that exists between one cycle and the next. This one is super-complicated because the 10/1 energy of 2017 is connected to the 10/1 energy of the decade – and the other cycles involved are a thousand years long.

This gap , or vacuum, forces us to confront the past – the 1000s – so we can finally learn what 1 has to teach, and then move into the 2000s without destroying ourselves – and the planet. We are seriously hampered by those who are trying to drag us BACK to a time when they felt most comfortable. FEAR OF CHANGE, and losing ‘position’ in the ‘race’, is so immense that it is dripping down on the world as terror.

The closer we get to the year 2020, the more intense life is likely to get. Therefore, because 2 is a slow and detail-filled energy, we have to slow ourselves down, individually, to the pace of 2 – the pace at which the details come into focus, instead of being just a blur because we are RACING past them. It does seem that 2020 is indeed going to be a year of vision and decision.

“everybody moving so fast – makes you feel like you’re already part of the past..” ~Ray LaMontagne, “Airwaves.”

2 is a gentle slow-moving energy, but if you try to push against it or speed it up, it pushes back hard and slows you down even more! 2 is the number of PATIENCE and TIMING.

1 is the number of THE SELF and a principle lesson of 1 is that we must BE ourselves, rather than what we are told we should be. We are human BE-ings. A principle lesson of this 1 Year is how to BE the unique beings we are in a world full of other unique beings.

2 is the number of COOPERATION and PEACE. 2 exposes hypocrisy like no other number, and reveals what’s going on under the surface and behind the scenes. Not only do we see it, we also feel and sense it. 2 is the number of sensitivity, intuition, and inner knowing.

2 represents the group – which is made up of individuals. 2 also holds the feminine desire for equality – not domination. The Black Lives Matter movement grew out of this dual focus and its impact has created a turning point in our understanding of racial matters, by exposing our systemic racism – not only in the USA, but everywhere.

It is so important to remember that the human ‘race’ is not our species. We are HUMANITY. We are DIVERSITY. The human ‘race’ is a system that is based on unfair competition, and “winning” at any cost. That was the way of the 1000s. The way of the 2000s is unity and cooperation – and the principle lesson here is that we are all in this together. WE ARE 1 .

 This one-two combination is helping us to recognize the extent of our diversity (potential), and the fact that human beings exist in SO MANY different forms. The old system keeps us boxed in to its categories (judgments) which keeps us at war with ourselves and each other. This 1-2 combination will eventually bring an end to this futile RACE to be #1, but meanwhile, the shaky balance continues to shift in all directions – and there is chaos.

What’s happening at this point in the journey goes way beyond party politics. This is survival – and NOT just survival of the ‘fittest’ (the richest). It is survival of all human beings – and all forms of life.

“If you don’t become the ocean, you’ll get seasick everyday.” ~ Leonard Cohen

We are being pushed and pulled in all directions, but in these ongoing jolts and stretches of uncertainty, humanity is evolving, emotionally and intellectually. We are feeling everything more deeply every day, and the vibrations coming from our feelings open our minds and release us from denial.

Notice that denial is highly visible now IN 2017. It is everywhere. As we recognize our own denials and stop denying, reality falls into view and the truth reveals itself. We see that many people in positions of power are demented and very sick individuals. The insanity of the old system has pushed its way to the top, and the inmates really are running the asylum. How power is used depends very much on whose hands it is in!

This week, the fiasco of White House Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, suggesting (during Passover) that “not even Hitler used chemical weapons”, shows the astounding ineptitude and ignorance of those in power. Spicer was reminded that over 6 million Jews and other groups, who were classified ‘subhuman’ by the nazi system, were gassed in Hitler’s concentration camps, which Spicer referred to as “Holocaust Centers”. In January, a White House Statement issued on Holocaust Remembrance day, omitted all reference to Jews. While nationalism has been a mainstay of the Trump campaign and presidency, it must be remembered that the very word ‘nationalist’ gave birth to the word “nazi”.

The heart-breaking images of Syrian children choking to death had a horrifying global impact. And yet, an estimated 274,000 Syrian civilians were killed before the images of the babies emerged. We all saw the images of Aleppo and the plight of the refugees as they were forced from their homes by the violence of our oil wars and literally made to roam the Earth – on foot – or at sea – looking for a safe place to exist. Where was the concern for Syria’s children then?

When we see people being abused, such as the airline passenger who was dragged from his paid-for seat because United Airlines wanted to dead-head some crew, most people could emphasize with what that poor man was going through, but at a time when it is imperative for us to learn about emotions in general, what about those inflicting the violence and indignity on him. What were THEY feeling? What do bullies feel when making others suffer? They feel POWERFUL … rendering the victim helpless with physical restraint, terrified of what might happen to them as every vestige of their Will, and their dignity, is taken away from them. Bullies inflict the weight of their “might” or “authority” on others because that is the only way they can FEEL powerful. The world is full of these weak, frightened, self-loathing individuals. The fear of failure involved here needs to be recognized and healed, because that is what lays the foundation for authoritarianism and dictatorship. All fascist regimes rely heavily on bullies in positions of authority.

The injustices, wars and atrocities going on in the world are the manifestation of the battles going on inside us, between our masculine minds and feminine feelings. Peace requires cooperation and forgiveness – and after a thousand years of constant conflict, it will not be an easy task. For as long as ‘winning’ is our objective rather than fairness, forgiveness, cooperation, and peace, these inner and outer wars can never end.

The chemistry of 1 and 5 acts as a catalyst, and the 10 energy of 2017 (and the 10 decade) adds SPEED, FOCUS, ORIGINALITY, and NEW POTENTIALS to the equation. This is a pivotal moment in the human journey – or at least, the beginning of a measurable evolutional movement which continues all the way through May – which is the 5th month of this 1 year.

The mind is a powerful thing, but when masculine mind and feminine emotion cooperate, we develop a balanced appreciation for who we are, what we are capable of, and why we are on Earth at this particular time. And we see this potential in others, too – without insecurity or jealousy, and with acceptance, not defensiveness. Feminine energy is our emotional energy, which exists in men and women alike. Feminine 2 does not seek to dominate. Rather, 2 supplies the balance and stability currently missing from life on Earth.

When mind and emotion work together in partnership with the physical body, we are whole. Or at least, we are more whole than we have ever been. Who knows what our potential then becomes.

The prominence of 1 and 5 is occurring within the 3 energy of the 21st century. In order to successfully transition from the 1000s to the 2000s we must learn about 3, since 3 is the product of 1 and 2.

3 is the number of EXPRESSION – and we must be aware of the effort being made to subdue all forms of expression that go against the old system. 3 is the number of the child, and the potential for some kind of rebirth, possibly of the human heart, (compassion). Meanwhile, images of suffering children are constantly showing on the world stage, to open our hearts to the plight of others.

Part of the art of brinkmanship is to keep people’s emotions jangled and frayed, so that any form of respite would be welcome. One of the main lessons of the 1000s is that war is not the answer. And more war is simply that – more war – the same old thing that we’ve always had. Peace cannot result from force.

George W. Bush famously said: “There’s an old saying in Tennessee. I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee.. (pause) fool me once, shame on… shame on you. (pause) fool me can’t get fooled again.”

Well, we must not – get fooled again. This is not real and meaningful change. Nationalism (nazi-ism) is not something that “rises”. It is something that we descend into – whenever the self-designated ‘ruling class’ feels threatened. The oil industry is the mainstay of the old system but its relevance is fading in the course of time. Clean, sustainable, renewable energy pours down on us – freely – from the sky, in the form of sun, wind, and rain, and is emerging as the obvious replacement. Bring back coal mining? Why?

Remember the days and years after 9/11 when it was deemed ‘unpatriotic’ to protest a “war president”. After the deadly debacle that the occupation of Iraq turned out to be, and still is, hopefully we have learned how easy it is to demand the allegiance of the people through deceptive words, images, and the staging of evidence.

“War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it.” George Orwell

In 2010 while he was the CEO of Exxon, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that he acknowledged the fact that humans were affecting the climate to some degree, but the extent of it was unclear. “Therefore, what can you do about it?” He also said, “The world is going to have to continue using fossil fuels, whether they like it or not.”

THE SHOW MUST GO ON

3 is the number of drama. 3 is also the number of people and population. People have a BIG appetite for drama. We love to be entertained. And the entertainment industry knows how to trigger particular emotions. 3 is the number of the arts – both creative and destructive. Art reflects reality. But what are now called “reality shows” are false realities.

‘Reality shows’ are staged and scripted and designed to keep the audience engaged, eager, and distracted. Entertainment is BIG business. But we are at a stage in the journey here in 2017 at which we must regain our connection to the real world because we all have a part to play in creating what we desire life to be.

We have to be aware of the manufactured chaos, melodrama, and riveting cliffhangers. We have to be ultra-careful that we are not being drawn in to false story-lines. We have reached a new level of uncertainty, and we have to find our courage, weigh-up what we learn, and believe in our ability to feel, sense, and intuit our way through this rough ride into the future.

As humanity continues to evolve as a species, we will continued to be pulled back by the fear of change. No one wants to feel fear, but until we accept fear for the natural emotion it is, we will attract fearful situations which force us to face our fears. Fear is NOT the opposite of love. Hate is the opposite of love – and hate is NOT a natural emotion. Hate is a sick emotion – an ill feeling – which desperately needs to heal. And it is here in the interim – the mean time – that we have the opportunity for enormous inner healing. Fear is rising in the world, and we have to find a way to express it honestly rather than hold it in, transfer it onto others, or deny it altogether. Fear denied is the basis of terror.

 3 is the number of EXPRESSION. This is our power. We move forward by expressing what we feel – by being honest with ourselves. Emotion is our honesty – which is why this dishonest system programs us to subdue any feelings which do not serve the system. It is vital that we better understand the 3 energy of the 21st century because its 100-year span is playing an essential role here on Earth.

It is here and now, in this 10/1 year and this 10/1 decade that we must make these observations because the 3 energy is being used to deceive – on a global scale. It always was used in this way, but along with all the creative aspects of 3, its ability to conceal and deflect also reached a new level.

3 represents the enormous power of communication: words, images, appearances, creativity, beauty and the beast, sentimentality, attraction and repulsion, gossip, hearsay, ART in all its forms, artfulness, illusion, game-playing, drama, the stage, and how things are staged and presented.

3 is all about THE SHOW. And right now, life is being presented as a “reality show”. Communication must take place in a way that informs rather than confuses. Facts must be explained in whole sentences and paragraphs.

Finally, the following people, countries, and even one currency, are all in the 3 Year in 2017. Their 3 monthly and weekly forecasts have been very interesting just lately:

BASHAR AL~ASSAD

As we move through the 10th WEEK of this 10 YEAR in this 10 DECADE, the pace of our journey will accelerate. 1 represents forward movement, altered states, change, and speed. 10 brings us back to 1 (1+0=1), with the advantage of major lessons learned – and we have all learned a lot in recent months.

Although this ‘speeding up’ will be obvious in what is taking place in the outer world, 10 10 10 also brings inner movement as our masculine minds and feminine emotions reach new levels of cooperation within the biological body. This week’s energy cannot help but change the way we think and feel – each of us in our own unique way. 1 is the number of the individual, and represents our uniqueness.

The system has always been able to control the population by manipulating our thoughts and feelings. That is the principle tactic of the “war for hearts and minds” (which is actually a war against hearts and minds). With our basic senses under control, we cannot make sense of complex matters, or empathize with others who are suffering. But this tactic no longer has the same effect because the vibrations of this chaotic shift from the 1000s to the 2000s are unblocking our consciousness and expanding our awareness.

However, coming out of denial can produce shock, anger, grief, and fear. Being awake can be quite a nightmare! The multi-layered nature of the details, and the speed at which they are coming at us, can be overwhelming – which is why so many people feel drained and exhausted right now. 2 = DEPTH, DETAIL, and CONNECTING it all together.

Denial is a self-justifying barrier that stands between consciousness and reality. As the openness of the 2000s continues to bring the walls of denial down, we see just how great the role denial has played in keeping this cruel unbalanced system in place. We are likely to see all kinds of denials of reality this week, at every level – including the denials we all hold within ourselves. Everything starts within – and the turmoil in the outer world is a reflection of our inner turmoil.

You cannot fully accept yourself and deny certain parts of yourself at the same time. For instance, how can you love yourself unconditionally without accepting, loving, and taking responsibility for your own feelings? How can you love yourself unconditionally if you hate the way you look? Or the way you behave? This energy pinpoints parts of you which you believe are imperfect so you can develop more self-acceptance, and love yourself more fully. This means loving yourself as you are. This can only be done by you. And this week is an ideal time to gain a deeper understanding of self-denial.

Our dilemma is that 1 is the energy we are evolving from, (the ways of the 1000s), and our waning resistance to change is almost as powerful as our increasing resistance to oppression. But, thankfully, as we move further into the 2000s, we are undergoing a natural transition in which the Will of humanity is rising to free itself, and move forward into present time.

1 is the first number – the number of leadership. We are experiencing the consequences of allowing ourselves to be ‘led’ by dangerous power-hungry individuals, instead of learning how to lead our own individual lives. The old political system – with its narrow range of left and right – cannot possibly represent the full spectrum of humanity in all our diversity. Bringing down a heartless, corrupt, and incompetent system is certainly desirable, but replacing it with a more extreme version of itself is not change – it is self-delusion, and the insanity of repetition.

The majority is made up of minorities… and the whole notion of racial, sexual, and genetic superiority is fading into the absurd… especially as the incompetence and ignorance of those who espouse such hatred becomes increasingly apparent. We are ALL citizens of the world.

10 is coming to life this week – showing us new steps – new possibilities – and making us aware of how ordinary people can do, and aspire to do, extraordinary things. It makes us aware of how ordinary people can live as they want to live, rather than be told how they are supposed to be living, by people who are unqualified to make such assessments. This week’s burst of triple-10 energy gives us an opportunity to move beyond previous programming and step more confidently into our lives, despite the chaos going on around us.

“We had too many people who wanted to save the world. We lost sight of the fact that our primary purpose is to create value for our shareholders.” ~Former BP CEO, Tony Hayward

With the focus so strongly on the SELF this week, nothing is more needed than the authentic confidence that comes from believing in our ability to handle whatever life brings. We cannot reach this state through mere ‘selfishness’. If we are here on this planet at this particular time in the journey, then we came here to be part of the change from 1 to 2; from imbalance to peace. Of course, it is just as likely that other souls came here to prevent such a shift.

People (and animals) are suffering beyond belief, as some continue to profit from the destruction of this abundant planet and refuse to share her resources. We often forget that the basis of feminine energy on Earth is Mother Nature herself. She IS the material world. There is nothing we have that did not come from HER.

Everything affects everything. It is all connected. 1 is the nucleus of all the other numbers, and we are in the process of a nuclear reaction that is occurring on the inside – at the emotional magnetic level. The effect this is having on the electrical outer world appears to be chaotic when in fact it is our only hope of healing our damaged planet and everything on it. We actually need to be experiencing this chaos – because it was the only thing that woke us up – so entrenched was the conditioning that the system imposed on us.

March is the 3rd month. And the 3 energy is very strong right now. 3 is the number of communication, creativity, the arts, ‘the stage’, and how things are staged. 3 is the number of illusion, magic, and the setting of moods and scenes. March is the 3rd month of this 1 year, all of which connects to the creative 3 energy of the 21st century. (2+1=3). New levels will be reached here, too: new highs and, unfortunately, new lows.

QUADRUPLE 10:  Both Monday, March 6, and Friday, March 10 are 10 10 10 10 days in the world (40), which also connects us to the 4 energy produced by March in the 1 Year (3+1=4). 4 represents matters of identity, limitation, work, how things work, logic, problems and how to solve them, order, system, determination, and breakthrough.

Tuesday, March 7 is an 11/2 day in the world which will provide more light and transparency. It is also the 66th day of the year. 66 is a master number, and is the most balanced form of creative 3 (6+6=1+2=3).

This week is the ideal time to DO what you’ve been putting off. If you are presented with an obstacle of some kind, accept what cannot be done and BEGIN something else. Only you can know what this means. For instance, someone may see this as an opportunity to change course and do something different and specific. Another person may see this as an opportunity to finally take a break from a situation that was draining his or her energy.

No matter what happens, this is a highly creative and innovative time for us all. Not just in matters of art and entertainment, but in terms of starting to create a new existence for ourselves. New life is emerging out of the chaos. And precious new lives are entering the world every moment of every day. People are discovering new solutions and ideas which nurture instead of destroy, and love instead of hate. 10 is the energy that enables us to evolve from one stage to another. 10 enables real and measurable progress. And the closer we get to 2020, the more 10 has to teach us.

10 is a fast-paced evolutionary step. Remember that 1 is the energy we are evolving from – and that we evolve at the same rate that we learn what 1 has to teach. This week, 10 puts us on the fast track as far as this learning is concerned.

Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.   ~Gandhi

 As the old system fights so ruthlessly to retain power, we are moving through a level of uncertainty and danger which most of us have never faced before. This emotional pressure is forcing us to FEEL our feelings on a much deeper level. As a result, the WILL of humanity is rising up – in the form of open expression and a new level of determination to be free.

It is the fascist mindset that has imprisoned the Will to the extent that most people do not know what the Will is and how essential it is to life itself. The WILL is the part of us that the system extracts in order to keep itself running. The Will is feminine energy – magnetism – emotion.

Resistance to oppression requires us to use our full emotional range – without forcing or denying any feeling – but just responding HONESTLY to our experiences. The Will IS our honesty – our realness – and our barometer as to what is good and what is not. Week 10 brings THE FREEING OF THE WILL to a new level, too.

Some people are so afraid of being hurt or harmed that they deny this fear, and replace it with a form of ‘hardness’ which prevents the Will from moving and freeing itself. But we are at a new level now. It’s OK to soften this stance, accept what happened to you as part of the road you have traveled, let go of the pain of the past, forgive, and allow personal HEALING to occur.

The frenetic pace of events often leaves us feeling drained and hopeless. While these are indeed honest feelings, resistance can be strengthened by noticing and expressing our lighter feelings, too. If we allow the heaviness to bring us down completely, we may never be able to get up again. So remember to breathe, to eat, rest, play, laugh, and love. Resist by keeping the loving and happy aspects of life ALIVE! Resist by appreciating all that is good in life – and there is so much good out there as we continue to evolve.

Feminine 2 is Masculine 1’s natural partner – but the war against the feminine is at the root of why humanity is the only species on Earth that is at war with itself. This is where the atrocity of racism BEGINS. 1 is the number of beginnings and root cause.

1 is the seed, the start, the individual, “I AM”, self-awareness, ego, and self-acceptance. 1 is the electrical masculine energy within us all. 1 is our connection to consciousness (“I think, therefore I AM”), and we are now at a point in the journey where we must evolve beyond mere self-consciousness into the perpetually healing current of SELF ACCEPTANCE and genuine SPONTANEITY. This week’s multiple 10 vibrations provide a large-scale opportunity to reach new levels of self acceptance (and throughout this 10/1 Year in this 10/1 Decade).

We do have to remember though, that this includes new lows as well as new heights. We can expect new levels of manipulation and control. Don’t let it suck you in. Resist. The emotional/mental tug-of-war going on within us requires us to make a firm decision about the direction we desire our lives to take. 1 represents both speed and change – and the emergence of new possibilities. The old system is dying. To go back into it is to die with it. This is not how life is supposed to be, and we cannot ‘normalize’ it if we are to find our way through it.

“We are the ONES we have been waiting for”. ~Unknown

ONE is the number of SELF. The individual. As the 1 energy of the 1000s evolves further into the 2000s, we are learning about the power of unity when practiced from the ever-expanding position of love, rather than the limited and shrinking position of selfishness, greed, hate, and the inability to feel satisfaction. We have been conditioned to deny whatever we don’t want to face, but this programming is unraveling as we evolve in the course of time. We are starting to learn as we go. We are starting to BE who we really are inside. The true SELF is emerging. There is so much truth in Gandhi’s words: “We must BE the change we want to see in the world”.

There is so much wisdom from the past which we must hold onto. There are many aspects of the past that must be preserved as the system continues to destroy itself. Here’s another timely observation, this time from Albert Schweitzer:

“I am life that wills to live, in the midst of life that wills to live”.

…all of my old articles (from 2007) are available here

2017 is a 10/1 Year in a 10/1 Decade. There are only 9 basic numbers. Every number beyond 9 is a variation of the original 9. Therefore, the natural function of 10 is to bring us to the ‘NEXT LEVEL’, where we start again, but with the advantage of what we learned along the way. (2+0+1+7=10=1).

1 is the starting point. 1 is the ‘seed’, the individual, the SELF. It teaches that we must love ourselves in order to know the depth at which we can love others. Self love is self respect. This year, we are learning about the power of our own uniqueness, individuality, and honest feelings. This is true of any 1 Year, but the DOUBLE-10 energy of 2017 cannot help but have profound evolutionary effects. Self acceptance is the inner peace that brings peace to the outer world.

Learning from previous experience is a central part of the 10 vibration. Now, in 2017, 10 is strengthening humanity’s resolve to resist the grip of fascism that is trying to take root throughout the world. This is not change. This is resistance to change. And so, there are two very different types of resistance going on at the same time, creating an inevitable tug-of-war between the past and present – to determine the future.

10 brings us to the ‘NEXT STEP’ in a tired old system that allows a few power-hungry individuals to decide the fate of all life. 1 is the number of SELF and COMPETITION. 2017 will bring all this into the clear light of day.

The election of Donald Trump reflects the extreme aspects of the 1 energy which pertain to EGO. He is unaccustomed to being challenged and does not know how to handle the emotions that arise when he is confronted or disappointed. His ego is overinflated one minute and extremely fragile the next. His tendency to fight off his feelings is reflected in his inability to let go of perceived ‘slights’ and just move on. His misogynistic, racist, and revengeful behavior has been well documented over the decades. As president, his first executive orders included attacks on science (knowledge), human rights, women’s rights, and multi-pronged attacks on the ultimate feminine source – Mother Earth. In 2017, we realize that this is not ‘politics as usual’. It is a matter of survival.

However, it is important to understand that what is happening now had to happen! Life in the OUTER world is a reflection of our INNER reality, as individuals (1), and collectively (2). The ‘awakening’ of humanity has been a slow process because the system controls the Will of the people by controlling our emotions. In the sensitive vibrations of the 2000s, the Will is rising anyway, and controlling the Will of the people is not as easy as it used to be.

And then, along came 2016 – a very unpopular year. And yet, for many it was the best year ever in terms of growing, expanding one’s awareness, and becoming whole. Its spiraling 9 energy certainly ravaged our feelings. But those strong emotional vibrations forced open our reluctant minds and revealed a more accurate picture – and we see things more clearly now.

2 is the number of unity, but this can work both ways. We can unify as individuals and work together to accelerate the healing of the human Will – or we can allow guilt and fear to justify unity with those who oppress us. When active and resourceful 1 combines with sensitive and transparent 2, we become more aware of tactics, methods, and choices. The 1/2 combination provides the ability to trust your own senses, connect dots, let the denial go, and see the bigger picture.

Self expression is our primary resource. Our ability (and need) to communicate propels us forward in life. If we are made to “shut up”, we would have no incentive to create, invent, explore, enjoy, or love – and our lives would become shallow and meaningless. Words MATTER. Communication in all its forms is the realm of the magical number 3 – which is the result of 1 and 2 combined.

The presentation of lies to erase the truth is brain-washing – or tactical denial. We are all holding various realities in denial. We don’t know we’re doing it because denial takes our memory. Denial denies it is denial. And because we learn from history and from past mistakes (and successes), obscuring our memory and normalizing an abnormal situation ensures that we do not evolve. The transparency of 2 is breaking down the WALLS of denial. Knowledge is power.

On January 21st, 2017, the uprising of women in pink hats, all across the world, and men who supported them, was a massive reflection of what is happening WITHIN the human species. That was a 5 day in the world – the number of freedom, sex, conception, the physical body, spontaneity, excitement, adventure, variety, the unusual, and living life to the full. Feminine energy IS the Will – and the surge of PINK that occurred on that stunning 5 day was the WILL of the people – rising to free itself.

We are in the 2000s, and feminine 2 is the number of unity, equality, justice, cooperation, patience, detail, diplomacy, caring, teamwork, BALANCE, and peace. These are the only conditions in which stability and peace have a chance to form.

Feminine 2, by nature, does not want to control life. Feminine energy is the bringer of life and, above all, wants life to SURVIVE. Right now, the survival instinct that exists in both women and men (the 1st chakra) is very much alive as we FEEL and SENSE the gravity of the situation.

We are having to hold ourselves together in a level of vibrational turbulence that we have never experienced before. 1 reflects our precious individuality, and 2 reflects the need for cooperation among individuals. 1 is the number of electricity and the mind. 2 is the number of magnetism and the emotions. So we can expect quite a few electric shocks and magnetic tugs as 2017 unfolds.

As we move from the old greed-driven masculine 1000s to the uncharted feminine territory of the 2000s, we are evolving into openness, honesty, and free will. But the determination of the old system to hold on to power and privilege has never been more fierce and heartless. We cannot evolve from 1 to 2 without severely damaging ourselves, or perhaps even destroying ourselves, unless we learn what 1 has to teach. Its lessons are profound, and here we are – learning them – in this 10/1 Year within this 10/1 decade. This 10/10 energy is preparing us for ongoing change and rapid evolution – as we get closer to the year 2020. (10+10=20).

1 and 0 represent the binary code and the basis of computerization. While matters of the internet and Net Neutrality have been major issues for many years, we will reach new levels of concern in 2017. After all, today’s technology has been most instrumental in exposing the greed and cold-heartedness that is causing the great imbalance that is toppling the system.

Free Will depends on free expression. But the twisting of language, the falsifying of facts (lying), and the manipulation of feelings, create the confusion and mental exhaustion that enable dictators to take control. Our emotions are under constant attack, which is why we MUST learn more about their true power and purpose. Don’t go numb. Stay awake and aware.

1 is the first number – the nucleus of all the other numbers. Therefore, matters of nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and nuclear waste, are cause for great concern in the current global atmosphere, especially when 1 is doubled and the number 11 comes into play. Just as 10+10=20, 1+1=2.

1 is the number of independence and leadership. But the patriarchal system makes us dependent on others to lead us, instead of learning how to lead our own lives. This leaves us vulnerable to authoritarians who have a knack for convincing people that only “they” know what is best for us and that we are simply incapable of leading ourselves. This old dogma cannot hold in the openness of 2.

These are very karmic times, which is to say that outer reality, and the way you are viewing it, offers specific experiences and lessons which can bring you to your next step. Karma is the wheel of unlearned lessons. Experience is our teacher.

One of the gifts that came from the emotional chaos of 2016 was COURAGE. As a result, here in 2017, what is waking in this “1 Year of the Individual” – is HUMANITY’S HEART – 1 heart at a time. It’s going to take a while..

Calendar week 50 runs from December 9th to 15th. It is a 5 Week in the world. This week’s unpredictable 5 3 9 combination acts as a catalyst for a major change of direction. The abruptness of unforeseen events can throw us off-guard or give a false appearance, so this is no time to ignore what’s happening in our world. Awareness of reality is our greatest safety net.

This is a 5 WEEK: the sudden, unexpected, unusual, and diverse.

3 MONTH: appearance, performance, and all forms of communication.

9 YEAR: the end of an era – drama – deep emotions – increased awareness.

After the grinding of gears we experienced in the last 10 weeks when all the Week Numbers began with restrictive 4, we now have three weeks ahead of us in which the Week Numbers begin with 5 – the number of freedom, movement, sudden development, gender and sex, physical presence, diversity, and anything that is ‘different’. Impulsive moves can create havoc, so we need to think carefully before rushing forward.

5 brings change, and a big change occurred on Friday, December 9, the very first day of Week 50, when the CIA announced that it has growing evidence (along with 16 other US intelligence agencies), that Russia interfered with the U.S. presidential election, in favor of Donald Trump. How this plays out in the days and weeks ahead, is impossible to guess – and this level of uncertainty is a 5 characteristic – on a major scale. This affects not only the United States, but many other democracies around the world which Russia may want to influence.

Because 5 sits at the very center of the numeric spectrum, events can shift without warning in any direction, which is why CHOICE is such a major aspect. The question “where do we go from here?” looms large. Knowing what our options are is vital.

The choices being made at the government level affect our lives deeply – and we really do need to better understand the intent behind them.

Not only are we learning from previous experience, but also from new experience in present time. There is nothing ‘normal’ about current conditions. 5 exposes our habits, addictions, and programmed beliefs, and breaks down deceptive structures and walls where truth is hidden. 5 often gives us an erratic, fast-moving, and chaotic dose of reality. Things can happen very quickly in the 5 energy – here today – gone tomorrow.

Caution is needed in our personal lives, and in the world at large, because 3, 5 and 9 are accident-prone vibrations, especially when our attention is distracted and scattered.

When 5 and 9 combine, the karmic 14 energy is formed, and the potential for mistakes and mis-steps increases. 1 = forward movement while 4 = restriction, and we can easily get ‘lost’ when we are unfocused or indifferent to what is happening around us. On the other hand, when we learn from mistakes instead of repeating them, karmic 14/5 can deliver fast and meaningful progress.

5 is where EVERYTHING MEETS – and there are bound to be clashes. However, when we take things slowly enough to observe the obvious details, and deeply enough to unearth the hidden details, one opportunity leads to another.

When 3 and 5 combine, the resulting 8 energy enables inner desire to manifest on the physical plane. This is the vibration of conception and pregnancy. The 3/5 combination can bring new life into a situation – or into the world. This is a time of waiting and expectancy – and while this can indicate much joy and excitement – there is also much fear about a re-birth of fascism.

8 is the number of power on the material plane – and the great battle for power (which has always existed at the top of the class system) has lost any semblance of ‘trickling down’ on the masses. The fall-out from the great fight at the top is gushing down now and affecting everyone. There is an old African saying “When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers”. And the ‘grass’ is suffering terribly – the people – the animals – and all of the natural world. Remember that the consequence of power depends on whose hands it is in.

As Donald Trump continues to put together a government of bankers, generals, oil men, and hardliners, who clearly oppose the purpose of their assigned departments, we must ask why Russia put so much effort into helping him, and why he is choosing these particular people, many of whom are deeply involved in Russian commerce. And as feminine energy (free will) rises, the more it is likely to be attacked. The anti-woman makeup of Trump’s appointees is quite chilling. 3 key choices have been accused of sexual or physical abuse against women, as has Trump himself.

Many who profited the most from the old system of the male-driven 1000s either do not realize that the system is collapsing under the weight of its own unfairness and top-heaviness, or they do realize it, and are having a last ditch attempt to revive those ‘good old days’. But time moves forward regardless. The balance-seeking energy of the feminine 2000s will eventually render this battle over, and put it in its proper place, in the past. Meanwhile, fascism must be vehemently resisted.

Once we accept the reality of a situation, 5 can help reduce our fears through its gift of resourcefulness, and its ‘can-do’ sense of adventure. 5 teaches us how to find our way forward when we cannot tell which way forward is. 5 can help us sort through and weigh up the FACTS and ensure that the mistakes of history are not repeated. Notice the effort to obscure the meaning of the words ‘fact’ and ‘truth’, and manipulate people into believing the ridiculous notion that “facts don’t matter.” This has always been a tactic of this dishonest system, but now it is more blatant.

A much bigger picture is forming which goes way beyond party politics, and focuses on nation against nation, and the alliances between nations and corporations that are now forming. Gigantic corporate mergers are in the works which will evoke corporate dominance – and disempower the population. The proposed merger between ATT and Time Warner could destroy any privacy we currently have, but that is not the only issue. It could also make it impossible for millions of people to access the internet at all, simply by making their services unaffordable. After all, it is the internet that is currently providing the transparency through which we are able to gain awareness of how the system works.

Fascism is the most heartless extreme which always tightens its grip when capitalism is on the downswing. Fear of loss then sends the deadly disease of GREED into overdrive, and ‘austerity measures’ are put into play. This robs the population of fundamental needs -basic human rights – so that the ‘weakest’ cannot survive at all.

Fascism must be resisted with all our might (and we have more power than we seem to realize), but it is not just a matter of protesting, marching, suing, and whatever other means are available. If fascism does take hold, open resistance will have to go underground. That situation does not yet exist – but this is not ‘politics as usual’. It is an attempt to totally control all the people, and all of life, indefinitely.

December is a DOUBLE 3 MONTH. The first 3 comes from the month itself (1+2=3), and the second 3 is the result of adding 2016 to it. (3+2+0+1+6=1+2=3). 3 represents people and population, happiness, sunshine, friends, joy, and the lighter side of life. The reverse side of 3 = misery, gloom, hopelessness, enemies, bitterness, and the depths of despair.

3 is also the number of OPTIMISM, which is a powerful force when mixed with realism. Humanity has so much to discover and look forward to, but we have to create it ourselves. 3 is the number of CREATIVITY. We have to ‘BE the change we want’. And that is something we must keep in our hearts, no matter how things unfold in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead.

3 is the number of COMMUNICATION – but the deceptive word-play and outright lies with which we are currently dealing is bringing confusion to a new level. How do we wade through this muck? Remember that everything starts within. Know who you are. Know how you feel. Know what is truly in your heart. BE that person. Care about others. And be prepared to learn and evolve as you go. Have faith in yourself. Have faith in life.

What we are going through now cannot be avoided in the course of our evolution. We can never go back to how things were. If we learn from both our mistakes and successes, what is good will stay and what is not will fall away. We can only go forward. The drag we are feeling is the result of trying to hold on to the past and move forward at the same time. We can only let go of the past by learning what it has to teach.

This is calendar Week 49. What an exhausting year 2016 has been – with 4 more weeks to go!  In this spiraling 9 Year of drama and trauma – and this wobbling Leap Year of insecurity and disbelief – our emotions have been so deeply unconscious that we had to be shocked into seeing the reality of our world, our lives, our leaders, and our selves. But denial is hard to escape from because denial’s nature is to deny its own existence. Denial of reality is life’s real ‘darkness’, and has always been our biggest barrier to evolvement.

At a time in the human journey when we are evolving emotionally, our feelings are ferociously under attack, which is why so many people feel drained and exhausted. We are being spun. At the same time, fascism, which deviously feeds off the genuine concerns of citizens, continues to rise, everywhere. One of the most important lessons we can learn in week 49 is that people are not easily controlled when they are aware of the methods used to control them.

4 is the number of FACT and DETAIL, and here we are in the final week of a 10-week cycle in which all the week numbers began with 4 – the number of order, system, restriction, obstruction, delay, hard work, dedication, our sense of identity, and breakthrough.

4 has taught us a lot about the 4th Estate – otherwise known as the press. Journalism acquired this title because their principle role is to report the truth and help keep governments and corporations honest – and should be looked upon (unofficially) as the 4th branch of government. That is how essential the press is meant to be. But of course, this requires dedication to the truth – which cannot coexist with concerns about “ratings”, being the ‘first’ to report, or a journalist’s personal ‘image”.

Week 49 is a karmic 13/4 week which holds important lessons about carelessness when attention to detail is essential – about insisting on doing things “your way” – and about identifying yourself by the work you do, or the persona you reflect, rather than the person you are.

4 seeks out the illogical and incorrect and replaces it with practicality and accuracy. This energy thrives on detail, formula, routine, organization, and the recognition of patterns. However, if learning is not the intention, 4 can also bulldoze its way over anything that crosses its path in order to prove itself right – and superior.

Week 49 brings plenty of obstruction, but also the means and determination to break through barriers. Don’t be distracted by trivial or irrelevant matters. This is an opportunity to escape from denial and move with more ease into the light of reality, even if we do not like what we see there. We cannot change what we refuse to look at.

4 means getting organized and constructing a firm foundation from which to work. Solid information sources and organization are essential to maintaining freedom in the months and years ahead, despite any obstructions and distractions that are thrown in our path.

4 is the number of practicality, maturity, determination, effort, and the kind of enthusiasm that can only be maintained by realism – and approaching goals with both firmness and flexibility. 4 can make us very stubborn at times, but the 9 energy of 2016 can help us LET GO of the need to be ‘right’ all the time and actually learn something new. 4 is the number of common sense and logic.

Situations may arise in which the number 13 is brought forward in relevant ways, such as the 13th Amendment, which was ratified 151 years ago on December 6, (a 9 day in the world) and which corresponds directly to the surge of white supremacy which has arisen in the USA – and throughout the world). The whole question of RACE is reaching a critical stage – as the cracks in this dying system reveal the horrific imbalance that exists between human beings.

We are not the human ‘RACE’.  The human race is a system, not a species.

We are humanity – humankind – and we have not even begun to understand our purpose and potential because the system depends on our not knowing it. In this system we are simply units of work.

But we are not here in creation to provide labor to some industry or other. We are here to create – not destroy. What’s happening now threatens to subdue the creative pulse with a destructive one – which is self destruction. No imagination. No resourcefulness. Small mindedness. Closed mindedness. Minds focused so narrowly on greed or hate that the mind shrinks and mindlessness sets in.

4 represents the FACTS OF THE MATTER. But this term is all too often used to communicate opinion. A surge of ant-intellectualism is sweeping through the world and is being communicated very noticeably. 3 is the number of COMMUNICATION, and December is a DOUBLE 3 MONTH (1+2=3+9=1+2=3).

Anti-intellectualism – part of the dumbing-down process – reached new levels this week when Trump spokesperson, Scottie Nell Hughes, communicated to Diane Rehm of NPR that there is “no such thing as facts any more”.

No such thing as knowledge? No difference between fact and opinion? Between fact and fiction? She went on to cast doubt on the existence of truth itself – and implied that we cannot actually ‘know’ anything for sure.

COMMUNICATION is transmission. It is how we think and learn – and it is under attack by the remnants of an old unsustainable way of life which runs on fear, greed, and hate.

In a month when communication is the principle theme, it is important to know that this age-old tactic of extreme nihilism has always been used in nazi and fascist propaganda. Skepticism at this dangerous level is the denial of any objective basis for truth, and renders communication almost impossible. 3 is perhaps the most magical number. It is the number of happiness, after all. But it can also be the shallowest. Shallowness is lack of depth, curiosity, feeling, intellect, effort.

Part of 3’s magic is the power of OPTIMISM, which is another word for HOPE. That is what carries through bad times. Without it, we sink into the depths of despair. HOPE is the last thing to go! So hold on to it. It is the belief that we can learn how to change what needs to change, and that we have it in us to turn things around.

This karmic 13/4 Week began on the 337th day of this Leap year (3+3+7=13/4), so here is another double vibration. KARMA is the learning of what we most need to know in order to move forward. Karma teaches the laws of cause-and-effect. If you do “this” – this will happen. If you do “that” – that will happen … and these are deeply karmic times.

The 13/4 vibration of Week 49 can help us gain more understanding of the role we have played in allowing certain things to happen by ignoring the ‘how’ and ‘why’. We don’t go deeply enough into the facts. But the path we are on right now is unfamiliar and potentially perilous. We don’t know where it’s leading – so we need to focus, look beneath mere surface appearances, and pay attention to the details.

Mass communication is a way of getting inside everyone’s head at the same time. This is why the proposed merger between the communications giants AT&T and Time Warner is such an important issue. If it goes through, it would give them the unprecedented power to control everything we hear, see, and do, online.

One of the emotions so many people are feeling at this time (but may not have identified as such) is the fear of being trapped with no way out. We all experience this in our own way because we are individuals, and our circumstances and backgrounds are different. Understandably, we avoid this fear at all costs, because it feels SO bad. So we compromise. We make decisions that we believe will ensure we never have to feel this feeling – and we end up feeling it anyway because that is what denied emotions do. Fear is not the problem. Being unable to face our fears is the problem – and the more we refuse to face our fears, the more we attract conditions that force us to do so. No one wants to live in fear. That would be like living in constant hell. Therefore, we must learn how to properly process this natural emotion, the purpose of which is to keep us safe.

Talking of communication and learning experiences, President Elect Trump made a serious error this week by communicating with the president of Taiwan, apparently with no knowledge of the treaty between the United States and China. Another aspect of nihilism is the rejection of established laws and institutions – which may sound attractive to some. But in a world which so desperately needs diplomacy, not provocation, this is extremely reckless. This is how wars are started. We are in the 2000s, and 2 is the number of peace through diplomacy.

And talking of treaties, Monday, December 5 marks the eviction deadline for the embattled but determined water protectors at Standing Rock, North Dakota. Since April, they have been protesting the planned pipeline of oil company, Dakota Access, across Native American land and waterways. Just one oil spill would contaminate the water supply and decimate sacred religious and spiritual sites. 2,000 American veterans are expected to arrive in North Dakota by Monday to protect and stand with them.

The emphasis on LAND and WATER is extremely important here, not only because we need water to survive as a species, but also because emotion is FLUID and is symbolized by water. Emotion is feminine energy, emotion is under attack, and you can’t get more feminine than Mother Nature – the giver of both land and water.

UPDATE Dec 4: The Obama Administration will not grant the necessary permit for the Dakota Access Pipeline. This most favorable result, after months of deeply emotional protest and great hardship, reflects the human WILL (the feminine principle) at work. Most especially the will of the people right there on the ground, but also the will of millions of people in the US and around the world who supported them. Of course, this is probably not the end of the story. That pipeline has to go somewhere…

Note too, that the independent and foreign press covered this major event in great detail, while the US mainstream media it gave minimal attention.

The entire world is at the mercy of people who do not understand the true value of the ecosystem because they measure value in terms of currency, and overlook the greater reality. They control all the food, water, air, seed, and soil. The point here is that knowledge is power, and they lack knowledge. They will eventually fail.

This week, one of the world’s greatest scientific minds, Stephen Hawking, wrote an article about Brexit – and the election of Donald Trump. Here is an excerpt:

“…we are at the most dangerous moment in the development of humanity. We now have the technology to destroy the planet on which we live, but have not yet developed the ability to escape it. Perhaps in a few hundred years, we will have established human colonies amid the stars, but right now we only have one planet, and we need to work together to protect it.

To do that, we need to break down, not build up, barriers within and between nations. If we are to stand a chance of doing that, the world’s leaders need to acknowledge that they have failed and are failing the many.

With resources increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few, we are going to have to learn to share far more than at present.”

ALARM continues to ring out frantically as Donald Trump prepares to make his mark on the world. It is increasingly clear that the heartlessness of fascism is upon us again, and that this time around, our capacity for war and destruction is greater than it’s ever been.

So many different issues are in jeopardy, including our fragile environment, existing peace agreements, basic human rights, the rounding up of 3 million people for deportation, women’s rights, and the ‘normalization’ of white supremacy groups such as the KKK.

Even the most optimistic people sense that the future does not look hopeful. However, as this terrifying reality continues to sink in, humanity is experiencing a powerful emotional response – and this is a healthy thing.

Everywhere we look, the Will of the many is controlled by the few. Oppression and cruelty have reached such lows around the world that humanity’s WILL has been shaken to the point where it is starting to realize – finally – it must RESIST its own destruction.

Your Will is the part of you that FEELS. It is the part of you that instinctively resists any efforts to harm you and yours. Your instincts, senses, and urges, are part of the Will’s profound structure. The survival instinct is on full alert. Resistance starts within – with the power of your feelings.

If you do not know how to identify your WILL, you are likely to feel it very strongly now. Week 47 is an 11 Week in this 11th Month of this 9 Year, and whenever 9 and 11 combine, there is always an emphasis on the Will.

There is something else going on in this week’s 11 11 and 9 11 mixture, that may help us understand what is happening on a larger scale. 11 represents ILLUMINATION and INSPIRATION – and as we move towards the end of this 9 year of endings, the lights of reality are more switched-on than ever. The 2 energy of the 2000s represents TRANSPARENCY and OPENNESS.

In this light, we can see people as they really are. And we can be seen for who WE are too. People are being themselves. Even when people are putting on an act, the act can be seen. And it’s happening to everyone.

The fact that Trump chose Breitbart’s Steve Bannon as his Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor, is frightening, but what he said in an interview at Trump Tower this week with Hollywood Reporter, showed a side of him that he could not help but show. He was being himself. Bannon said: “Darkness is good. Dick Cheney, Darth Vader, Satan. That’s power. It only helps us when they get it wrong. When they’re blind to who we are and what we’re doing.”

In the transparency of 2, we can see people as they are – and what they are doing – almost like a cartoon ‘lightning-strike’ which, for a brief moment, reveals the person’s true identity. But this is not a matter of judging others. It’s a matter of clarity and being more aware. Besides, we are more able to see the good in people too, and grasp the fact that NO ONE is “perfect”.

We cannot move forward – evolve – until the WILL of the people MOVES to save itself, and resists this latest fascist force with every ounce of its power. WILL POWER. However, we can only do that by understanding the true nature of the Will, and educating ourselves with (instead of distracting ourselves from) the DETAILS of what we are dealing with in the outer world.

It is important to understand that will-power is not our ability to “think positively” or ‘will’ things into being with the power of our minds. Will-power is our ability to feel – honestly – and will things into being with the power of our desire. But we have been conditioned to believe that desire is somehow ‘wrong’. This really depends on whether the desire has any love in it. But desire in itself is vibration, movement, feeling, life.

This week’s 11 11 energy gives us the master number 22. (2+2=4)

Week 47 adds up to the karmic number 13. (1+3=4)

So we have 4 that is derived from the Master Number 22, and 4 that is derived from the Karmic Number 13 – in the 7th week of a 10 week cycle in which all the Week numbers begin with 4.

That’s a lot of 4 energy – the number of order and system, success through hard work, attention to detail, restriction, obstruction, identifying problems, seeking solutions, dedication, effort, and breakthrough.

Naturally, the feeling that anything could happen at any moment will continue for a long time to come. And things will happen – we know this. Alternating sensations of apprehension and enthusiasm are common in this energy, and are often experienced simultaneously. 2016 continues to be a time of shock and surprise because it is a 9 Year – the number of conclusion and deep emotions. 9 is the number of tolerance – which denotes how much pressure we are able to endure. Tolerance is therefore an important form of resistance.

We are meant to be feeling on this level, at this precise time because we are developing our emotional power and our ability to feel and sense our way through difficult and unusual situations. And each of us has an ability to assist, protect, facilitate, and raise awareness in others. Week 47 brings an influx of insight and information which can help us find effective ways to resist the current threats.

In the process, we are gaining a deeper understanding of guilt so that we can release ourselves from it. The system runs on guilt, blame, and shame – all of which are forms of judgment. Remember that guilt is NOT an emotion. Guilt slows evolution down because it stops emotion (feminine energy) from expressing itself as it needs to. Expression is what propels us forward. This is why FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION must be protected with all our might.

Guilt prevents the ever-expanding openness that Free Will is meant to be. Don’t mistake guilt for love.  Guilt judges harshly and seeks punishment. Love simply loves and seeks healing.

We are all evolving into something we have yet to become, but because we are afraid of our own potential – afraid of our own power – we tend to resist this change, consciously and subconsciously. This helps us justify our desire to run back to times when we felt more sure of ourselves. It is often tempting to retreat and  go backwards rather than actually change.

We will evolve anyway because we are moving through TIME, which is the numeric framework on which all movement occurs. Time is a far more vital and multi-dimensional force than most people realize. In the course of time, we are learning the difference between what needs to be feared because it can do great harm, and what does not need to be feared because it has no basis for alarm.

“A ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.” ~John A. Shedd, “Salt from My Attic”, 1928.

Fear will always hold us back if we do not understand its power and purpose in the vast emotional range. So we have to find the courage to FACE our fears: to move through them, and learn as we go, instead of pushing them into denial and opting for what appears to be the “safest” (but often weakest) way out.

The more we deny fear when it arises, the more we attract situations that will force us to face our fears. We are not meant to be “fearless”. As evolving beings, we are meant to learn how to process fear in a way that provides intelligence, not paralysis. What we are experiencing now is providing valuable lessons in this regard.

Week 46 began on Friday, 11 11 2016, and because 2016 is a 9 Year, the 11 11 phenomenon will be with us for the entire month. (See link at end of page to my short piece on 11 11 2016).

Week 47 (next week) begins on November 18th which is an 11 day – in an 11 week – in this 11th month. This gives us 11 11 11 – and the master number 33. It will be interesting to see what happens in the established financial and corporate world throughout November, and particularly on November 18 – (and November 21, which also holds triple-11 energy). But that’s next week — back to the present…..

Week 46 is a “10/1” week (new beginnings), and as this 9 year of endings merges with the 10/1 energy of the decade, and the incoming 10/1 energy of 2017, we find ourselves at the beginning of an enormous unpredictable turning point – personally, nationally, and  globally.

This week’s 10 10 10 energy brings forward #30 – which represents the power of COMMUNICATION, the stage, the airways and internet, the arts, entertainment, illusions, and outer appearances. 3 provides the platform to get the message across. Our perception of what is being communicated is extremely important now.

3 is also the number of HAPPINESS and OPTIMISM, and this is a good time to recognize and appreciate what you already have. Be aware of how you yourself are communicating and try not to get caught up in gossip and rumor. 3 also encourages you to check the facts instead of taking what you are told for granted.

Thursday, November 17, 2016 (11+8+9=28=10=1) adds another component of 10, and we have 10 10 10 10 = 40. This reminds us that we are currently traveling a 10-week cycle in which all the Week Numbers begin with 4 – the number of both restriction and breakthrough, effort and laziness, order and chaos, detail and vagueness, and our very sense of identity as individuals, nations, and cultures. 4 helps us to ORGANIZE, and inspires the qualities of dedication, staying power, and efficiency.

10 is such a powerful number as we continue to evolve from the 1000s to the 2000s. The 10 energy takes us to NEW LEVELS, and there is no doubt that a new level of urgency prevails since the election of Donald Trump. This very visible descent into fascism must not be trivialized and “normalized”. Its foundations have been laid – it IS happening – and we do have to accept that fact. Already, the new American administration is being embraced by fascist organizations in Europe and around the world.

Fascism is also a form of terror, which is why so many people are terrified of what may lay ahead. Denying that you are afraid will weaken you because you will have to block out large areas of reality from your consciousness. Accepting that your various fears exist, and being determined to move through them anyway will strengthen you and also help you to keep yourself safe. That is how we will evolve emotionally. Emotion is feminine energy, which, first and foremost, is what is under attack here.

“I pray he surrounds himself with decent people.”  ~Richard Branson

As I write this, the Trump administration just announced that he will immediately undo the Dodd-Frank financial regulations which were put in place after the 2008 banking crisis and signed into law by President Obama. With a Republican Congress cheering him on, there is little to stop him succeeding with this. The last time the republicans held all branches of government was in 1928 – followed the very next year by the Wall Street Crash of 1929 – and then the Great Depression which lasted for 10 years.

The Crash of ’29 occurred on October 29, 1929. This was in Week 44 (the most balanced form of 8), the number of finance, incorporation, and power in the material world)… it is also the presidential number of Barack Obama.

29 adds up to 11 – and there are two 29s in this date. This 11 11 event affected the whole world, and was instrumental in the rise of fascism in Germany. As foreign investors withdrew their interests there, millions were thrown out of work, and several major banks collapsed. Hitler was able to use the despair of the people to gain support for the nazi (nationalist) party by promising to repeal various laws, boost the economy, and provide more jobs. The rise of nationalism led to World War 2 (nation against nation), at a time when Germany was already under much criticism for its treatment of prisoners-of-war from World War 1. At the same time, the crash in the USA enabled the Fascist Party, founded by Benito Mussolini, to tighten its grip on Italy.

The crash of ’29 actually began on October 24, 1929 (1+6+3) which was a 10/1 day in the world. This is a piece of history we can truly learn from in this 10/1 week and 10/1 decade. It is not enough to look at what is happening today and think that we are informed. Many Americans have no idea what fascism actually is because they have never experienced it. Furthermore, the meaning of the word “fascist” has been devalued over the years as people increasingly used it to describe anyone with opposing political views.

Fascism is not mere political ideology. Fascism, nationalism, authoritarianism, nazi-ism, call it what you will, is total control of the people by government, which itself is controlled by the interests of the few, not the many, and is always headed by a bully, dictator, ‘strongman’. We are experiencing the ‘winner-takes-all’ corporatization of government, cloaked by vague promises of “freedom” and “wonderful times ahead”, along with a flood of conspiracy theories to keep the population emotionally ‘charged’ against opposition – it is “divide and conquer” in the extreme.

“We must stand up defiantly to any dark or divisive acts, and look out for the most vulnerable among us.” ~George Takei

The old system is cracking down hard on the human WILL which is made of emotional energy – the feminine principles of life – which all men and women possess, just as all men and women possess masculine energy – spirit – light. But when light does not have any love in it, the world has a crisis on its hands.

This is why 11 is such an important number. The number of illumination. The two 1’s hold the potential of connection, acceptance, and peace. They also hold the potential of two opposing sides constantly resisting each other. A closer look at 11 reveals what is in the space between those two 1s – the gap that divides humanity and pits 1 against 1, individual against individual, past against future, right against left – IMPASSE.

The space reserved for middle ground is filled instead with the suppressed suffering of generations – and indifference to that suffering, all of which is here again in the PRESENT. The concept of the ‘master race’ – white supremacy – has raised its ugly head once more. Eventually peace is restored because the alternative is self-destruction. But war never ends. There are no winners. It will happen again and again – until we learn to do things differently.

We cannot know exactly how this will play itself out, or what interventions may occur, if any. As the old ways of the fast-paced electrical masculine 1000s race against the slowness of the magnetic feminine 2000s, it is impossible to keep up with it all. But it is that very slowness in 2 which gives us the depth of vision needed to start building new foundations that are not merely repeats of the past but are based on love and equality, rather than hate, and the abuse of power.

If you are angry, express your anger outwardly. Don’t hold onto it and let it morph into rage. But do remember that your emotions are not weapons. There is no reason to hurt yourself or anyone else in the process of emotional healing. Your feelings are your Will, and are your best means of understanding your reality – in-depth – and not merely at the surface level.

Because the situation is so urgent, we have to find a way to process our emotions as fully as possible – and plan for the future at the same time. In fact, our feminine feelings and our masculine minds MUST work together now in order to be effective. THAT is what it means to be whole. THAT is the potential we are so afraid of.

It is not enough to say, “ok go ahead and grieve but be quick about it”. That will not help to bring new ideas into the mind but, rather perpetuate the old mindset which brought us to this massive turning point. We cannot ‘come together’ to accept fascism. We have to ‘come together’ within ourselves first – the coming together of mind and emotion. Inner connection. Self acceptance.

To do this, we must understand more of how the feminine emotions work within the biological body, and how the masculine mind opposes emotion because it only wants to think – and not have its thoughts interrupted by feelings. But without the input that the feelings offer, the mind cannot learn anything new and cannot come up with anything original (repeated history).

Fascism will be resisted. It always is. But knowing the true nature of what we are up against is paramount. We can learn a lot from people who have resisted this energy in other countries, but because times have changed, we also have to learn as we go. We must give ourselves the time and space to STUDY the situation more fully if we are to approach it ‘differently’ and effectively.

We are still in the 9 Year of 2016 – which takes the shape of a spiral. Just like being on a spiral staircase, we cannot see what is around the corner. The election of Donald Trump caught the world by surprise and the shockwaves are vibrating strongly. However, this is also triggering 2’s evolutionary qualities of intuition and receptiveness, and a desire for new and deeper understanding.

We move ever-forward in the course of time, and we cannot allow ourselves to be pulled back to a time that no longer exists. But we do need to give ourselves time and space in which to think and feel for ourselves. November is a 2 month (11+9=2+0=2) – the number of patience, cooperation, detail, slowness, perception, kindness, nurture, sense, sensitivity, the senses, intuition, and behind the scenes activity.

We can change outer realities all we want, but if nothing moves inside, the old situation will keep coming back. “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”

That’s what all this 10 energy is about – real and meaningful change – innovation – originality – the next level – NEW beginnings.

It all begins within.

Ring the bells that still can ring,  forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in. ~Leonard Cohen. September 21, 1934 – November 10, 2016

11 11 in 2016 adds up to 31 (11+11+9), and 31 adds up to 4.

We are also in a 10 week cycle in which all the Week Numbers begin with 4. And a man who was born on the 4 Destiny Path has just become President Elect of the United States.

This is scaring a lot of people throughout the world – as it should. There is no doubt that difficult times lay ahead. 4 is restrictive energy which can hold us back and box us in until its lessons are learned. The natural emotions of fear and frustration arise as a result. There is a very serious tone to this vibration.

4 is the number of system, work, how things work, and all things work-related, including jobs and the ‘cost of living’. 4 thrives on effort, determination, precision, and efficiency. 4 also signifies the vital INNER work which will bring peace into this world. Until our masculine minds make peace with our feminine feelings, outer repression will only grow. Everything starts within and generates outwardly. 4 is also the number of breakthrough.

4’s karmic vibration, 13, is associated with overwork, carelessness with essential details, laziness, and ill-preparedness, which we often mistake for being “unlucky”. There are major lessons for us all to learn from karmic 13. And because 11 ILLUMINATES and INSPIRES, it helps us to focus on – or at least search for – what we most need to see and understand.

11+11 gives us 4’s Master vibration, 22. The 22/4 vibration focuses on the conditions in which large groups of people live, and in the right hands, 22 brings measurable improvement – to the many rather than the few. In the wrong hands, however, 22/4 brings chaos to the many, (and the few as well).

We need to look at this date in its entirety because the information it contains does change each year. Without this understanding, we can slip through the cracks of this ‘road of opportunity’ without truly understanding what the opportunity was. 11 11 2016 is ‘big picture’ energy, and provides essential context and depth – if we open ourselves to it.

Awareness is our greatest safety net.
