More number fun...

Okay, I've gotten some funkier prompts tonight: a couple of times of repeated numbers, 17:17 & 19:19, along with 1:10 feeling like a prompt already, too, with 11:11 and what not. For the past several days, I feel like as soon as I picked up again on the AC CD for meditation and had that dream, I've been getting lots of little nudges through my seeing lots of numbers. One of my past posts with my e-mail's numbers kind of confirms my feeling that other numbers are now being used to get my attention. I don't think there's any meaning to these numbers, and besides, though I've run into Doreen Virtue's definition of numbers, I've really stopped thinking about any connection to them whatsoever with my own experiences, unless since I've read her interpretations, the information is already ingrained into my consciousness and Celestial Beings would be using this anyway?

Anyway, this all makes me think a little bit, and I would like to know if there's others on the board that have been recently feeling like this, too.

I'm really wondering if I should be "hustling," so to speak, concerning my meditation practice and the reading of UB along with other spiritual works, or if I should be getting a move on with other things I've been wanting to do, or a combination of both. While I write and edit, they aren't my final choice and goals for careers. They're actually a couple of things I'd like to keep doing over time, whether it's professional or personal, especially since people keep telling me that I should really consider being an editor, since I seem to have a knack for it, according to their observations. I eventually want to become a dentist with a bakery, and to sign up for the military to see if I could be trained as a dentist with their financial help for dental school tuition, in exchange for time in service, within the next several years. We shall see, especially with how the husband feels about my plans. So, those sort of plans kind of make me think and I'm not very sure if that's what I am supposed to be considering right now.

I know there's been a few posts already about how to some of us, it seems like time is either accelerating or slowing down, depending on what we're doing. I'd like to add to that a little bit with my own feelings on this particular time period. I've personally feel like I have to hurry up on certain things before "the train leaves the station without me." And right now, it feels like I'm going to have to work double time. It's not the first time I've felt like this in my life so far, and I feel like I've got a very good capacity to catch up, work hard, and just keep at it as long as I need to be there, so this is not by any means something that would bother me. Sometimes I am even amused at the frequency that this kind of situation even occurs at.

What I do worry about is burning out, so I do hold myself back, and that's why I remind myself constantly, don't rush, all in good time. But, recently I'm feeling like these reminders to myself might not be good to apply at this point, since I feel like I've got to be in some kind of "catch up" mode.

All of these things are pretty much just brought up to the surface due to the frequency of the numbers now.

Thanks for reading, have a great night/day! :hithere

Good Morning {{{{{ T }}}}}!
I know there's been a few posts already about how to some of us, it seems like time is either accelerating or slowing down, depending on what we're doing. I'd like to add to that a little bit with my own feelings on this particular time period. I've personally feel like I have to hurry up on certain things before "the train leaves the station without me." And right now, it feels like I'm going to have to work double time.
I understand that feeling you describe...the need to hurry up...double time. I guess this is where it is important to meditate, but allow the meditation to let you know how fast and how hard you should drive yourself. I remember George's words..."Impatience is the enemy". I know for me (and we ARE ALL different.....) my impatience has, on more than one occasion, caused me the need to step back and wait...a sort of burn out. I think of the rabbit and the turtle :lol: ...slow and steady won the race. BUT, only you will know within your heart what approach is the right one for you. :love

LOVE!!!!
Sammy

You're right, Sammy. ((hug)) I'm glad for the reminder that the approach I need to take has to be personal to me. :love I just felt all off about it again, so maybe it's the anxieties playing up a different way? Whew...that's a lot of anxieties. :lol:

Love,

Hey there

I, too, feel like I have had similar thoughts and feelings to what you've described, T. To be particular, over the last six years since I've been at this board and looked into number prompts, and especially because I am prompted so many times a day every day, there are a lot of times where I've almost felt a sort of pressure to "catch up" as you mentioned and to "get going" on things like meditation.

Go figure, I just got 1:11 right now while typing this post, which brings me to my next point.

Ultimately, I think the only "pressure" that exists is the pressure we impose upon ourselves. Now of course, I'm not using that as an excuse as the truth is that I could be trying a lot harder to improve spiritual habits and routines. BUT, couldn't we all? That's not to be a downer, but the fact is; a lot of us exist within a busy society where the "go" time definitely exceeds the "stop" time, and not just physically but mentally and emotionally as well. T, you also mentioned something about how maybe you should be reading the UBook more; my personal suggestion is that you should never feel that way. I am not saying this to condescend anybody or be rude, but I've realized that it is no more good to feel that the Urantia Book is "required" than it is for any religionist to feel that taking time to read their respective "holy text" is REQUIRED to be faithful and spiritual. Yes, the Urantia Book does have a wealth of information and certainly patches spiritual loopholes within modern society in a way that traditional, over-translated, over-misinterpreted texts cannot. But it is not a necessity whatsoever. Even in regards to meditation; don't feel like you're "screwing up" or something if you haven't taken the time out for it that you'd like to.. mind you, it is great to discipline yourself and make a personal routine out of these spiritual endeavors, but it should never make you feel like you are "falling behind" or "doing something wrong".

Sandy usually reminds people of stuff like this and now I'll be the one to tell you; you are on the right track, you are on YOUR track. Nobody can tell you that you are doing it right or wrong, nobody can tell you that you are doing too much or not enough; except for you, only you can tell yourself that. The very fact that you are allowing so much spiritual thought and consideration into your daily consciousness is a HUGE step in the right direction.. and yes, a lot of us who become more spiritual tend to hold ourselves to higher, harder standards as to what constitutes living it out, but it has to be remembered that there are, sadly, a LOT of people who don't even really consider spirituality at all, and spend most of their thoughts on the most miniscule of material, temporal matters.

Lucky, you're right in a lot of ways regarding my post.

I think most of us have been programmed with some form of pressure, usually first from our parents/guardians and other blood-related family members, then our friends, and especially through teachers (grade-wise), since a place of education is where most of us spend our early part of life in the first place! I have the impression that for most of us, it is due to learning from exterior sources that we begin to know and apply pressure on ourselves, as well as becoming impacted by our own personalities' developments. Personally, I always had difficulty throughout the years "taking it easy on myself," and it is this programming of being hard on myself that I'm continually working on.

It's too true, from you and Sandy and countless others :loves - I need to remind myself that I am on my own personal path and I should remember it, and not feel pressure over this entire endeavor.

With what you said in regards to the UBook, I don't think you're condescending in any way at all, just putting it out there now. :) Personally speaking, I've barely read it by this moment in time, but I do like skipping around, so when I will get to read it, whenever that is, I probably won't go in complete order.

You reminded me just now, too, "It's the little things that count." Certainly little spiritual steps matter as much as a giant leap! :love

Stop And Smell The Roses
Mac Davis
(Davis/Severinsen)

Hey Mister
Where you going in such a hurry
Don't you think it's time you realized
There's a whole lot more to life than work and worry
The sweetest things in life are free
And there right before your eyes

You got to Stop and Smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings everyday
You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't Stop and Smell the roses along the way

Before you went to work this morning in the city
Did you spent some time with your family
Did you kiss your wife and tell her that she's pretty
Did you take your children to your breast and love them tenderly

You got to Stop and Smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings everyday
You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't Stop and Smell the roses along the way

Did you ever take a walk through the forest
Stop and dream a while among the trees
Well you can look up through the leaves right straight to heaven
You can almost hear the voice of God
In each any every breeze

You got to Stop and Smell the Roses
You've got to count your many blessings everyday
You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't Stop and Smell the Roses along the way

You got to Stop and Smell the roses
You've got to count your many blessings everyday
You're gonna find your way to heaven is a rough and rocky road
If you don't Stop and Smell the roses along the way
Love you guys! :loves
Sandy
