After completing the story of A Fool’s Journey, I decided I wanted to write an appendix for the book, which would contain short descriptions of all of the cards of the Tarot. I was also guided to write about numerology as it related to the Tarot and the story. [For those that have read the book, you know what I am speaking of.]
Within the appendix, there is this section on numerology:
ZERO VERSUS ONE AND TWO – THE CREATION OF DUALITY
In many ways, Zero exists outside of numerology. That is because you can never arrive at zero from any other number. Zero represents the absolute where nothing is separate, no beginning and no end. Once you move to the One, you must also create the Two because in having an observer, you have the observed. The One and the Two represent duality, the relative realm as opposed to the absolute.
In actuality, all numbers, words, symbols, signs, religions, and philosophies are dualistic (rather than absolute) because they represent pieces and parts of the whole. The absolute is beyond description, really.
Yet, symbols are valuable in helping us to understand our place since we are finding ourselves immersed in duality quite regularly. So let me attempt to recreate some divine guidance that came out of the Akashic Records this week.
I was doing a reading for a dear friend. Before opening the records, I felt that they were going to use the symbols 1 and 2, partly because these numbers kept popping up on my trip and a part of me was curious about them.
So the Record Keepers spoke of manifestation and indeed used the symbols of 1 and 2. Now, in thinking back on the reading, one could say that any manifestation that occurs is like the moving from the 1 to the 2. For example, 1 represents the individual, each of us. 2 represents something outside of ourselves, a person, experience, or thing that we desire. The manifestation journey is the path from the 1 to the 2.
[By the way, I have to share with you that triple digits are very active in my awareness as I type word 333 at 2:22 pm!]
Okay, so here we are a lonely 1 contemplating a 2 that we so deeply desire. Maybe that 2 is another 1 that we wish to have a relationship with. Maybe that 2 is the idea of relationship and the other 1 is not here yet. Maybe that 2 is our body, a job, a house, a car, a feeling of wellbeing, ease or health. The point is, think of the 2 as anything that you desire that you think/feel/perceive is not yet here in your now experience.
So they then kept reminding me that in order to manifest the 2, you have to embrace the power of the 1. What does that mean? Well, if 2 also represents duality, then 1 represents unity. On some level (beyond our awareness) we exist outside of time and space and are forever united with Source and thus connected to All That Is. That means that in some perspective, we already have what we desire, even in all of the colorful details that we can imagine.
Yet, as an individual 1, we sit here not feeling or seeing that specific aspect of All That Is that we desire. We don’t see our partner sitting before us. We don’t have the money. We can’t see our body the way we want it to be. We don’t feel what we want to feel.
But as long as we keep looking at the 2 with eyes that tell us that it is apart from us, we will not be able to get to it. We can’t say to another that they hold our happiness, and then find our happiness. We can’t believe something is lost and find it. We can’t feel powerless and find our power. So how do we get out of this mess?
One message is to contemplate all of the various aspects of 1 until we find the one that is missing. Let’s say we (the 1) are in a relationship and are still sure that we can only be happy if our partner (the 2) changes in a particular way. Every aspect of our relationship and our partner is the 2 relative to us. Anything we wish to be different in our relationship or partner cannot happen through our will to change it/them because while we are focus solely on the 2, we are missing the 1.
What is it in us that makes us think we need something outside of ourselves to be complete, happy, or ecstatic? Think about the feeling of ecstasy. Is it not a feeling that bubbles up from within? Why then does anything outside of ourselves matter?
Replace ecstasy with any other feeling you can think of and answer that same question. Does it matter whether someone is there or not to feel love, loved, happy, joyous, strong, healthy, wealthy, etc.? When you are in love, are you not still in love when the object of your affection is absent from your sight? Being in love is exactly that, it is a state of being where you surround yourself with the energy of love. Nothing is happening. Nothing physical need be present.
Keep desiring all aspects of 2 that you want; that is why we are here. We ARE here to create and experience every nuance of 2 that we choose, yet we must forever return to the 1 in order to meet it.
And notice that every 2 contains 1. In fact, every number from 1 to infinity contains 1. You cannot escape 1 except through zero. Zero is the only number missing 1. The absolute is the only place where individuation is non-existent.
1 is not in the zero, yet zero is in everything.
Think about this: when you’ve reached your wits end and yell out to the universe, “I cannot live another second without this thing that I desire,” what do you think happens? Well, you live another second without that thing you desire. And that is the universe’s way of telling you that you are beyond all limitation. Every limit you place on yourself is just that, a limitation YOU place on your SELF. It is not real. You can claim to the universe as much as you like that you are powerless to go on one more moment without something, and you will defy your own limitation right then and there.
At the end of the reading, the Record Keepers said to me in complete clarity,
“We are not here to tell you your future. We are not the creators of your future.”Wow – what a powerful statement. If only I create my own future, why on earth would I ever ask another (physical or non-physical) what it will be. No matter how much they see, I am the creator. They can see absolute doom lying right in the road ahead of me, but I have the power to step left, right or turn around right now.
So I ask you, what is in YOUR future? Are you going to settle for anything less than what you want? Draw up into yourself as much intention as you can muster. Feel your desire burn within you. Know YOU are the creator. Yes YOU are the creator. All of the absolute is expressing itself through your little body. You are a tiny little 1 in the middle of billions of others, yet all of the power of the absolute is streaming through every atom, every cell and for every fraction of time that you experience. Do you think that if you state with absolute certainty what would be that it wouldn’t be?
There is all the time in the world for you to find your power, but there is no reason to wait. Look at whatever challenge stands before you and laugh. Nothing outside of you is more powerful than you are, for you are the creator of it all. Go ahead, I dare you to tell the universe that you cannot live one more moment without a solution, and then watch, the universe will prove you wrong. You don’t need anything. You want it. Go ahead and create it. But just know that as long as you give the 2 more power than the 1, you will not succeed.
Go inside and rage with intention. Tell yourself how much you want what you want and stop letting anyone else’s thoughts about it come into your own mind. Send your power in – not out. If you push on your imagined walls, they grow stronger. Don’t push on them, walk right through them!
Be the 1!
