The Numerology of 8/8/08
Decoding the meaning behind the math by Hans Decoz

The number 8 has always played a special -- if misunderstood -- role in the art and science of Numerology. Numerologists and Numerology enthusiasts often view 8 as the lucky number of money and power, but in truth, the 8 is better known as the "great balancer" -- it represents the belief that you reap what you sow.

Changing Your Name for More 8s
Countless people have considered a name change to add more 8s to their Numerology chart, but this is a waste of time -- you're more likely to lose wealth than to attract it that way. Numerology doesn't trump the natural cause-and-effect of the universe, so no one can gain undeserved riches simply by playing with numbers.

Balance and Consequences
8 represents balance; it's the number that brings reward to some and takes away from others. In shape and energy, 8 symbolizes the idea that all actions have consequences, and it strikes a balance not only in your financial health, but in matters of love and success throughout your life.

8s In the Date
That said, let's look to August 8, 2008 (or 8/8/08) to see what can be gleaned by such a promising date. It's important to remember that the true 8/8/08 happened two thousand years ago, and the date we are looking at breaks down to the numbers 1, 9 and 8 -- the universal year, month and day cycles, respectively. It's interesting to also note the "hidden numbers" -- the 16/7 Pinnacle, which is a Karmic Debt Number, as well as what we call the "zero challenge."

In this date, the balancing power of 8 is dominant.
We can expect shocking and unexpected events, but they will be corrective -- this includes big surprises on the global and national stage. These "8" occurrences tend to bring relief and justice. Still, the hidden 16/7 karmic number is worrying, as it brings with it a self-destructive energy, although this often promotes growth. And the zero challenge calls for solidarity, so we must combine our strengths to ensure survival.

Yes, 8/8/08 is heavy.
Luckily, it effects lasting, positive change. I have always considered Numerology to be a bit like detective work with layers and layers of clues to sort through. Given what we know of August 8, I have no doubt it will be a memorable day with danger and darkness coming from an unexpected direction. But there will also be a powerful, selfless response from the world community.

8/8/08 on a Personal Level
On a personal level, you will probably not experience any major shake-ups as your personal cycles are about a thousand times more important than the universal cycles. Think of it this way: heavy rainstorms might be life-altering to a whole area or town, but for you, they simply determine whether you get wet or not. That is to say, this numerological forecast may not effect you personally at all, unless your personal Numerology cycles are likewise promising.

"WALKS IN PEACE"

Aloha/Hola!

This is my first post on WALKS in PEACE blogg. One of my shamanic totem animals is the White Dove or Paloma. In many cultures the white dove is a symbol of Peace. It is also associated with Goddess energy. Hence the name of this blogg: WALKS in PEACE. I hope you enjoy what I have to share.

I believe Peace is a feeling we are IN or fall out off. This feeling needs nurturing and practice. But more about that later.

I WANT TO SHARE
Thru this blogg It is my intention to share how I experience and perceive what is going on around us. I love to write, travel and take photographs. I am ready to share my thoughts
with the following "credentials" backing me up: 25 years of meditating; travelling across the world; studying most of world religions; practicing shamanism and being actively involved for seven years with kundalini (earth energy) raising groups and lastly, because I am "called" to do it.

WE ARE EARTH'S CARETAKERS
Walks in Peace blogg is for people of all faiths, cultures, and sexual orientation. I consider myself a practicing "universalist" as I believe all spiritual traditions have beauty and core truths that are common to all beings. I believe in the law of ONE. There are many manifestations of the same "spirit or force" within us and around us. All are sacred. Regardless of the way you worship, what is really important is that we all need to protect our freedom to worship. It is also important that our planet-home needs our help.

This blogg is for people who are seeking to reinforce a life centered around the certainty that we are caretakers of EARTH. It is also a medium to reinforce the truth that we are indeed in the middle of a huge evolutionary leap. I am a walking "Antenna" receiving the daily earth S.O.S.!!! If you feel the same way, we have no choice but to seek for new ways of living and BEING.

COME OUT OF THE SPIRITUAL CLOSET!
Maintaining an optimistic outlook at this point in time is not the easiest thign to accomplish as a solitary Rainbow Warrior. Seeking support from each other is KEY more than ever. We are being called to come together and JOIN forces by building communities that include people from all walks of life. Dont you feel the urge to come together? In fact, these communities are already in place all over the world...they are waiting for YOU. Perhaps YOU already have your own; If so, REACH OUT and SHARE with others. It is THAT TIME. Maybe you have the seed to form a new community or share a unique way or technology that will help us all.

LIVING YOUR PURPOUSE NOW!
We all have different talents and are all masters in more than one manner. Perhaps you are already aware of some of your unique talents. I am told there will be many more to be developed! Our main "job" as self realized beings is to be concious stewards of mother earth and our own evolution. Whatever it is you are here to do to help us along is GREAT! If you have already found your way of living your purpouse I congratulate you! Please share your thoughts! Teach others how to find theirs!!

ABOUT THOSE PESKY LIFE CHANGES
How many of us have had HUGE life changes in very recent times? How many people do you know have lost their jobs, have had major "existential break downs"? The disaster list keeps growing: 911, Rwanda, Katrina, Tsunami, the countless other hurricanes, quakes and bizarre weather fluctuations....have certainly caught everyone's attention ....but don't let these distractions distract you......

THE MAYANS, HOPI, INCAS, NOSTRADAMUS.....
Why are these changes happening? Is this "just" about Global Warming? NOT. All cultures have detailed information such as the Mayans pointing at this very point in time as a the great doorway of change. The Inca people call it "Pachacuti = Time of change". There are also many prophesies such as the Arizona Hopi people; even Nostradamus wrote his share. Let's not forget the most common doom and gloom book version: The apocalypsis. Most of these sources appear to be very negative, but and equal number are also very uplifting and CHOICE ....

ABOUT THE YEAR 2012 DRAMA!
By now, I am sure you must have heard about 2012?
There are tons of info ABOUT 2012 on Goggle search or youtube. BUT, warning! you will quickly notice there are two types of information:

1. The Doom and Gloom scenario. SOOO boring....how many more movies about NYC destruction can hollywood produce? dont believe this bull...

2. A more uplifting scenario: 2012 ( 2013 is more significant to me) as a doorway to a peaceful new millenium; A new way of existence (VERY exciting!!!!!)

That said, I am not a denialist; Our world is not doing great and IT IS coming apart. The not so "good old ways" are being exposed. They are crumbling and how.....

We can all duel in the negative, WE humans love DRAMA. However, arent we sick of it? Don't you think is time to make a change?

FOCUS ON BUILDING PEACEFUL LIVES-WORLD
As our travelling home approaches the center of the galaxy, The old and not so good ways of doing things must be exposed. Why? So WE can build a new society and political systems that honor the preservation of nature, unity and peaceful co-habitation.

We are the system busters team!! The "shake up" is necessary so we can come up with BETTER solutions on how to live WITH mother earth. We are been weaned out of a life of dis-connection from Mama earth and into a life of Connection and full of PEACE. KEEP THIS IN FOCUS.

THE STORY OF STUFF
For a better understanding of how the damm is leaking, I love the www.storyofstuff.com. It's an awesome short film made by Activist blogger Annie Leonard who exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues directly related to our consumption patterns. Our society DONT WORK NO'MO' how it used to, but big $$$ forces keep forcing this obsolete way of life on us. There are MANY resources to end poverty, pollution, and etc in this world. What we lack is the political will and $$$ muscle to achieve it. More on that on later writtings.

WALK IN PEACE
How do we keep coping with all the re-direction and changes in our lives? How do we contribute to the well being of our mother earth and oursleves? How do we help our families keep their cool? Most likely you may already have ways of coping; I share with you what keeps me Walking in Peace (I try!):

We can change our life by changing the way we feel and react.
PeAcE starts within ourselves.

1.VISUALIZE wellness for you and your loved ones. First we take care of ourselves and then our families. Give THANKS for what you have. Remember: Exercise, Yoga, meditation and good nutrition enhance our state of being.

2. BREATH-We all know full well the benefits of CONCIOUS BREATH but we forget!: Take ONE breath and feel THAT! Good right? remember wellness, remeber peace.....take a few more deep breaths.....then a few more...5-20 mins....perhaps a few times a day? Feel this peaceful feeling and return to it when you are no longer IN it.

3. Walk in Peace-When meeting a challenging situation like someone who is angry. BREATH IN and OUT. No prayers needed, just B-R-E-A-T-H and step INTO PEACE.

I hope you find my sharing useful in some way. Please let me know what you think.

WAlK in PEACE,
Pablo Colon, DPM
