19/1 Our Karmic Rut

[link to creativenumerology.wordpress.com]

this is an excellent read, imo, even if you are not into numerology :)

a snippet:

"1 is the number of the individual, and the power of the mind. 9 is the number of the many, and the power of compassion.

1 is the number of beginnings. 9 is the number of endings.

1 is the first number – from which all other numbers are formed. 9 is the last number in the numerological spectrum and contains the energies of all the other numbers. (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 3+6 = 9).

Add 1 and 9, and we have 10 – the number of significant change, innovation and advanced solutions. 10 is also the number of our current decade – so the timing is right for this. And when we convert the 1 and the 0 into a single digit, we go back to 1 again, but this time around, our understanding of 1 has evolved. Notice that 1 is the number that all the other karmic numbers, (13/4, 14/5 and 16/7) have in common.

1 takes. 9 gives. The karmic energy of 19/1 is teaching us about the power of ‘give and take’ – compromise – individuals pulling together for the common good. And we are also seeing the deadlock that forms when the gap between ‘give and take’ is out of balance, in which case compromise simply cannot work. The ever increasing divide between the population and those who seek to control everything is being reflected around the world in the form of ‘budget’ negotiations, all of which are leaning in favor of the already ultra wealthy and powerful banks and corporations. There are no winners in this situation. 1 is the number of self-interest. 9 is the number of giving — and something really has to give before greed pushes the entire financial system over a self-made and unnecessary cliff.

1 is the number of progress, but we are at a point in the journey where we can progress no further until we gain the power from better understanding ourselves; from knowing who we are and why we are here. 9 takes us backwards – into the past – so that we can learn whatever we failed to learn from past experience.

Much of what we have to learn now is reflected in history, especially the 1800s (19th century), followed by the 1900s (20th century). History is repeating itself yet again. All that’s changed are the fashions and the technology. The brutality, the greed, the wars, the imbalance, and even some of the names are the same. In all that time, we have not progressed far at all.

19 is the holding pattern that contains everything we did not learn – and everything we need to know – in order to evolve into a new and more peaceful form of existence.

More and more people are letting down their guard and looking at life as it really is. The more we learn about ourselves, personally and collectively, the more aware we become of just how long and hard humanity has suffered over the course of time. Surely, by now, we have learned enough from our mistakes to want to transform this heartless patriarchal/industrial system into something that is based on love not profit. In the last decade, people have learned a lot about how this system works – which is the first step to releasing ourselves from it. 1 is the number of new beginnings. 9 is the number of letting go.

1 is the number of THE SELF, 9 is the number of ACCEPTANCE, and 19 offers major lessons in SELF-ACCEPTANCE. This means loving ourselves fully and unconditionally. It means recognizing our potential and finding ways to fulfill it within this physical lifetime, while respecting the rights of other individuals to do the same. Self acceptance is inner peace, which is the only means of there ever being peace on Earth.

Our inability to break through our limitations and actually reach that point is reflected in the number 19 – and manifests in the form of our own IGNORANCE – our tendency to IGNORE anything that could result in our having to feel emotions we do not like to feel. Our own ignorance does not want to get involved with anything that could upset, disturb or inconvenience us in some way.

Ignorance is not bliss. On the contrary, ignorance is lack of awareness. When we ignore reality, our denials keep this cruel and ugly system going, and we shrug it off as ‘human nature’. This hell on Earth in which people are reduced to mere ‘units of productivity’ is not the result of human nature. It is the result of human nature captured in denial. Don’t let anyone convince you that there is such a thing as ‘necessary evil’.

Denial is a numbing place. A dumbing experience. When we do look at reality and truly feel it and empathize, and react with our feelings, people tell us to keep everything ‘positive’. They say, ‘Don’t let it get to you. That’s just life.’ But, if we are awake and aware, it gets to us anyway. That’s conscious life!
