Over the last year or two, I can't tell you how many times I have looked at a digital clock at exactly 11:19.... am or pm, makes no difference. I notice this repetition because it is my birthday... November 19. I also once lived in an apartment building whose street address was 1119. Not one to write such things off as coincidence, I really began wondering what the significance of this number could be for me... other than that I get to eat cake.
So, I decided to consult my cards. The question that I originally composed in my mind was, "What is the significance of the number 1119 in my life?" but I remembered that the way you word the question can make all the difference, and I didn't necessarily want to limit myself to this lifetime, so before I drew the card, I rephrased the question... "What is the significance of the number 1119 for me?" Keep it general. The card I drew? "Remembering."
Hmmmm. I wondered if my hunch about it having something to do with a past life could be right, and now, I was getting excited, because I'm going to have a chance to find out soon. You see, my friend Lolita, and I, are planning a trip to the Canary Islands this year to visit a man she knows who is a highly intuitive psychic who does dream interpretation and past life regressions. She's done a lot of work with him in the past, and in one of her sessions, she became convinced that she and I had a past life together in Thailand. So, we want to find out more about that.
And here's the amazing thing about that. Immediately before I asked the cards about the number 1119, I had asked them this question: "What will Lolita and I accomplish when we go to the Canaries to meet El Sabio?" The answer? "Remembering."
Now mind you, I had completely shuffled the cards between the two questions. I mean thoroughly. But this isn't the first time something like this has happened with these cards. When they have a message for me, they just won't shut up about it until I finally accept what they have to say and shut up myself.
So, that of course, leads me to believe that the number 1119 is somehow related to the past life that I had with Lolita. But what? Could it be a year? What happened in the year 1119? I got on the computer and checked both AD and BC. Well, a lot of interesting things happened in 1119 AD, but the one that really caught my eye was that it was the year that the Knights Templar were founded. Of course, everyone who does a past life regression wants to end up having been someone famous, so I didn't put a whole lot of stock in that. I figured I'd just find out when Lolita and I got to the Canaries.
That was a while back. Then, today, I was clicking on a link that someone put in a comment on one of my posts, and that link led to another and another... you know how it goes. Up came an article about the Knights Templar, and it turns out that, on Friday, October 13, in the year 1307, the leadership of the Knights Templar were arrested by King Phillip IV of France, tortured until they confessed to heresy, and eventually burned at the stake.
Why is that significant? I'm glad you asked. I grew up in a house whose street address was 1307. My older sister was born on Friday the 13th, and her daughter and my father were both born on the 7th. And, my last flatmate used the digits 1307, in combinations that varied from time to time, as the password for her computer.
So, I'm thinking, the Knights Templar are going to turn out to be important for me in some way. What do you think? (I already know what mobil is going to say... har har).
