:14

[happyrain]

My boss messaged me this morning, she was at the grocery store buying a ton of cheese for the kitchen. She thought she was going to surprise me by showing me just exactly how many cases of cheese she was buying. Instead, I was surprised by something else. She happened to be checking out at aisle 14. What else? I noticed this word on tattooed on the mans arm... "Fidelis"

I had to look it up,
It's a Latin word that means Faithful.

And all day today 14 has been prompting me. I look at the picture now and am noticing all the heart balloons too. When I first recognized 14 in the photo, and looked up the meaning of Fidelis...

The feeling was... "I'm exactly where I'm supposed to Be." Feeling Gods assurance, and a desire to live more in alignment with Faith in Gods guidance.

My Boss doesn't know of my connection to the number 14. It's also the number in her license plate.


I edited the photo to preserve the anonymity of the strangers.

Hello my brother,

I believe there's more to your picture, that it appears to be so. If you keep looking at it, small things start to pop up, like the "Yay!" and "Thanks a bunch" cards, or the "Big Savings" in the left of the boxes. They just happen to be there, at the right time!

It's not a signs hunt, trying to match them forcefully, but these ones just happen kind of to fall into place.

Regards,

Thanks Oscar... And, I do think 14 extends itself to a "school" of people. There may be a "class" and today was a special day, in a realm we may not yet understand...

:14 is still making its appearance in my life every day. I’ve been having trouble with my car recently. Ever since I installed my summer tires there had been some erratic behaviour in the steering system. At random times the steering wheel would try to turn on its own. It was starting to bother me since it’s a new car and I was having trouble with it already. When I left work today I noticed that the issue wasn’t happening anymore. I was feeling thankful and wondering how it got resolved. Then I looked at the time and it was 5:14.

As for the picture, did anyone notice the word “Source”?

That's amazing Jon. I know of a few other instances you've mentioned feeling 14. Shane used to experience 14 too. And a few of the ladies over at the GTC.

I can't find the word Source anywhere in that photo! This must have been a special message just for you~

But a fun little thing about "Source" in that photo... H-E-B is a chain. The first grocery store started in 1905 in Kerville, Texas by a Howard E Butt. Over time H-E-B adopted a slogan which is now used in their commercials...

"Here, everything's better"



As for 14 and Source... And the beautiful people who also experience the phenomenon...

These have been my thoughts lately. "Fishers of men." We are bonded in this manner, and at the same time unique where our differences are perfectly suited to help the individual wake up/deepen their experience and personal relationship with the Lord. All we do is Live God and then, God will sort out the rest. I think 14 is there to mark this progress. It's not about shaping what that looks like for others- but sharing in whatever manner we are able. Our UB study allowed me to continue learning of the Father and understand deeper aspects of Love and ones interaction with reality, which translates(hopefully) as conscious action in our environment. Seeking/Living God is Bringing our kin towards that same kingdom.

I found it!!!! (source)
"Here everything's better. " Could be said about meditation and talking things over with the "Source."

I'm glad to hear your new car has quit trying to drive itself, Jon. The Midwayers have helped us before with such things of life. Often it was when we were completely "bumfuzzeled" or didn't have the funds. I am ever so thankful for the overcare we receive.

This morning, when I looked at the photo again, the word "thanks" jumped out at me on one of the gift cards... sort of a message for me, perhaps, as "a thankful heart is a happy heart"...and I was praying for help to feel happy.

I remember years ago, a bunch of the regulars here read Autobiography of a Yogi and became interested in Kriya Yoga. Only one, Anne, really pursued it... I enjoyed hearing of her new spiritual discoveries, but became sad when this extremely deserving, practicing, lovely lady was denied initiation when she went to the center. In the book, Yogananda initiated people at train stations and on the spur of the moment, but Anne, who had worked so hard for that moment, was denied access. It sort of soured me, and I realized we don't really need intermediaries anymore unless we are more comfortable that way. With all that said, all those who have been initiated into Kria Yoga, I am excited and thrilled for you and pray for your life blessing, as I pray for all people on the eternal search for God knowing. You rock, and more power to you.

Chief Bzutu tells us we are all one through God. I think when all people in the world realize that, and stop focusing on our differences, we will finally see true peace on this crazy planet. I'm thinking it sort of goes back to sovereignty (paper 134 LOL) and all religious sovereignty belongs to God alone. Only the eternal God knows the ins and outs of such things as they really are, (so why are people fighting over them, (is it the ego coming between us?) as I am assuming the things of God are more complex than we can imagine in mortal form... but some day...we will discover the answers to questions we don't even know how to ask at this time... Here's to the journey!

I'm jabbering this morning... sorry

There can be many reasons why someone would not initiate another on a path, one including health concerns. There are, "kundalini" like experiences that are terrifying and painful. That being said, it doesn't matter what the people at the center do- or don't do with regards to Anne and her spiritual path. As you've correctly pointed out, it's all between God and the individual. Maybe God was saving Anne from something else, but we lack the foresight to know. In either case... I remember blue nova, and I miss her. She really believed in me when I was younger. She helped me a lot. She was very dear, and I remember one night feeling her like a ringing in my ear so strong- we acknowledged that we were in communion on a meditative level. She brought me to the spiritual portal, and though I do not participate over there anymore- it has helped shape me to who I am today. Even those displeasing moments at the portal, I am grateful for.

The Initiator- for me, happened on the dream level. This being is much like our midwayer friends. Or at least, I think so. I can't speak for the midwayers but I can say this being does not care to be recognized as any one form. This beings sole mission is to "point the seeker towards the sun(source)." I have called that being the peacock angel. But that is not the only name and identity ascribed to it. I don't think I am to follow Kryia Yoga to the extent that I am a devotee. And even though I have a deep connection to Sufism... Possibly a past life, or another life in a reality I do not understand... I am not Muslim and engaged in the ritualistic behavior. That has never stopped God form sharing his Love and mysteries with me. And I believe those who turned Anne away(at the time) have only made her stronger. Maybe that act in itself was a type of initiation... To initiate means to start something. Anne was already connected to God so clearly, and perhaps all of this only brought her closer to the vast reality Within.

I hope, if she's reading this, she knows how much we all appreciated her presence and miss her. If I could I would like to send Loving thoughts. So I am...

I love that everyone is getting different meanings from the photo. It's 9:14 AM as I was stuck in sending Love to Anne and thinking of everyones unique interpretations with the photo. Jon saw Source. Sandy saw Thanks. Oscar saw Yay and Big Savings!

How great is Gods Love? You're right Sandy. It *IS ALL Unique. But there is a common thread~ Love in all its forms.

I miss Anne too, and send love to our dear friend wherever she is...
