Spiritual Awakening: Ashes To Ashes!!!
As I picked up my DAD’S ashes yesterday (6/28/2018) from Alexander-Levitt and placed the box in the trunk of my car I realized that when GOD calls you home your entire life is reduced to ashes. This reminded me that we come into this world as dust and we leave this world as dust. I then began to realize that what is important is how you lived that dash. My DAD didn’t want a service or any pomp and circumstance. He simply wants his ashes spread at sea. His sunrise was on April 7, 1935 and his sunset was on June 7, 2018. As I looked at the numbers of his life I noticed many reoccurring numbers like 7 and 11 and 18 so I looked up their meaning and here is what I found.
Number 7: Which is the result of the sum of the other two numbers, finds a place between the two worlds, the world of life and the world of death. It refers to completeness and the aspect of things well done.
Number 11: According to numerology, the number 11 is a “master number” which signifies intuition, insight, and enlightenment. When paired together, 11 11 is a clear message from the universe to become conscious and aware.
Number 18: The number 18 means PERFORMANCE. It represents a basic structure of LIFE. The number 18 simply means LIFE. It consist of the BODY, SOUL, MIND and SPIRIT.
I took these numbers and saw how deeply rooted they were not only in my DAD’S Life but in my life as well. As I came to grips with the fact that the life of my DAD is now reduced to ashes I looked at how he is being remembered and the words I have heard a good friend, a caring and compassionate man, a giver, and a lover. I hope that I will be able to take his compassion and kindness that he leaves behind and use it to pay it forward so as to be of service and value to others.
My DAD may have left the physical world his spirit now dwells in the Kingdom Of GOD and he serves as an angel to watch over me and guide me as I continue on my quest to show the world that service to humanity is the best work of life. One day we will meet again but in the mean time I know I can call on his spirit to help me to evolve personally, professionally, and spiritually. Though the last 3 weeks have been tough and I will face more challenges I know that whatever GOD brings me to GOD will bring me through it. In walking with GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels I am able to take this loss and the challenges that it brings and find victories by moving forward in a positive direction toward my goals and dreams. It is hard to be in my condo at night understanding that DAD is not walking through those doors anymore but his spirit will always be there to watch over me and protect me.
As we live our dash we must understand that when it is all said and done we are just dust in the wind being utilized by GOD for a purpose. In finding our purpose and answering our calling we begin to become the change we want to see in the world by being our authentic selves and becoming action takers. It is when we decide to let go and let GOD that we are able to make a positive impact on the lives that we come in contact with. It is now time for us to look at our losses and take the lessons learned and create victories. MY DAD admired my work with The American Cancer Society and I will continue the tradition we started to collect our change at the end of the day and place it in a canister and when the canister was full to make a donation to The American Cancer Society.
I have used this song in the past and each time I hear it reminds me that each day is another opportunity to move forward on your spiritual path and to enhance the lives that you come in contact with by simply making compassion and kindness part of your daily practices because you may never pass that way again but while you are passing through you have a responsibility to leave the place you are passing through better than when you arrived. As you travel on your path remembering those who are now angles may you be filled with a sense of purpose and fulfillment as you journey toward enlightenment.
