Destiny, co~incidence&#8230;where do these messages come from?&#8221; &#8220;The number 44 seems to follow me around&#8221;, she said.<br \/>\nI have one such number too, It is the time on the clock which says 11.11.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nSo am I looking for it ? Does my subconscious mind ring an alarm bell each time it should be 11.11 and I happen to look at a clock. But for that one would have to assume that all clocks work in synch. Very few that I look around at actually do.<br \/>\nWhat is the significance, and why shoud there be one ? Of course as I look for a number consciously I am going to far more aware of it and will start to see patterns in it even if it is random.  Like 44.<br \/>\nBut it is interesting to see if it is not random. Is this is our subconscious mind drawing us to this number once we have set the whole thing in motion ? Or does it go deeper, that the &#8216;event&#8217; of the number has a much greater significance to our lives.  So we set off in search of that significance.  I would say, though, Cinda, that the search itself may become compulsive and you may destroy that which you were searching for.<br \/>\nThere is a difference in the acceptance of a pattern, and the need to find the proof of it. Once you are looking for the proof, as even predicted ny Quantum Physics, you are altering the very subtle existence and perception of the pattern (of 44, in your case). In that case 44 does exist because you search for it.<br \/>\nWe as a society are loosing our connection with the mythic sense of our lives. In doing so we ask our logical brains to test what our consciousness percieves. Most of what are consciousness percieves has little desire other than perception. When our mind gets into the act, it looks for analysis and action.<br \/>\nSo, Cinda, 44 is probably not the only coincidence that dominates your life. Just the one out of trillions that you are aware of.  Is there is a reason for you to be aware of it ?  Is your sunconscious telling you something so you may act upon it ?  Wait, without looking for it.  Trust your subconscious.  Your life is a matrix of coincidences, of potential coincidences. In fact many scientist have now strarted to believe that there are no coincidences in life. Not that everything is preordained, but that every potential event is set up proir to our acting upon it.<br \/>\nShekhar<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cinda wrote : &#8220;The number of the new school? 44.
