Do You Keep Seeing Repeating Numbers? Here’s What It Means..

 

Has this ever happened to you? You’re zipping around, living your life and for some reason your eyes happen to look at the clock at 11:11, 1:11, 4:44 or some other similar sequence to this?  For most of us this may go on for days, weeks, and maybe even months until we begin to wonder why we keep seeing these same numbers.  Others may not see repetitive or consecutive numbers but will see the same number, or the same word over and over and over until it just seems silly that it’s happening.

The guides explained this phenomenon about two years ago when my dad and I started doing weekly channeling sessions for the book we published called “Answers – Heaven Speaks”.  I asked them why so many people see things like this and explained that I had heard TONS of theories but wanted to hear from them if any of those ideas were real or just superstition.  I thought their answer was pretty cool!

Researchers Find 1,820 Species In Just One Threatened Area of Peruvian Amazon

‘You can’t argue for the protection of an area without knowing what is there.’

If you lived in a remote part of the Peruvian jungle, under normal circumstances you might have found it a little unnerving to witness 25 Field Museum scientists lugging huge cases of equipment into your backyard, but this time it’s for a very good cause.

This remote part of the world is inhabited by nine indigenous tribes and a lot of unmolested wilderness due to the fact that it’s only accessible by helicopter. Regardless of that, it’s now under threat due to illegal mining and logging, as well as a newly proposed road. The people who live there would obviously prefer that doesn’t happen. That’s where these Field Scientists come in.

Over the last 17 years the museum’s rapid inventory program, like the one in Peru, has helped governments establish 18 new protected areas in South America totaling 26.5 million acres.

“You can’t argue for the protection of an area without knowing what is there,” says Corine Vriesendorp, Director of The Field Museum’s rapid inventory program.

The field team scientists spent more than 17 days using drones and hidden cameras to conduct a quick inventory of whatever flora and fauna they could find in the area. They set up 14 camera traps and used a drone for birds-eye footage of the rainforest.

“No scientists have ever explored this area, let alone document it with cameras and drones,” notes Jon Markel, The Field Museum’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) specialist. “These images are the first time this remote wilderness and the species that call it home are being recorded for science.”

The biodiversity they documented is absolutely incredible! They recorded 1,820 plant, fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, and mammal species, including 19 previously unknown species. The cameras revealed ocelots, giant armadillos, currassows, giant anteaters, tapirs, peccaries, and pacas among many other creatures.

“We discovered an intact forest inhabited by indigenous people for centuries and teeming with wildlife,” says Vriesendorp. “We want it to survive and thrive long after our cameras are gone.”

Morse Code Messages Have Been Discovered in the Dunes of Mars

You’ve probably heard about Morse code, the secret way to communicate using dots and dashes. It’s always being used in spy and action flicks by one person to relay a message that they don’t want to be readily obvious. Sometimes it’s used because that’s the only way they can communicate at the time.

It turns out that NASA has discovered a series of Morse code-like dunes that consist of dots and dashes on Mars. While scientists have noticed patterns similar to these in the dunes before, this dune field is unique in that it sits just south of Mars’ north pole, creating a much clearer image than ever seen before.

If you were hoping that aliens had a part in this, you’re going to be disappointed. These dunes formed simply because of natural causes, specifically, the wind. Continue reading

This Man Rescued 1,000 Dogs From Being Killed at the Yulin Meat Festival

Sometimes the customs and norms of a particular culture can be appalling to others who do not share the same beliefs or views. What might seem right in one culture is often taboo or frowned upon in others.

So, it might shock you to hear that over in China there is a week-long event every year dedicated to eating dog meat. Known as the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, the event flies in the faces of every person who has ever loved or cherished a canine companion.

It is estimated that every year about 10 to 20 million dogs will be killed for their meat. Many are sharing articles similar to this one to promote awareness of the subject, some are even infiltrating the festival so they can save dogs before they are butchered. Continue reading

Indigenous Leaders Share The Prophecy Of The Condor And The Eagle

Chief Phil Lane Jr. and other Indigenous leaders explain to us the meaning of the Condor and Eagle prophecy, and the anticipated reunion of the two entities.

The Eagle and the Condor is an ancient prophecy that speaks volumes about where we came from, where we are now, and where we’re going. Essentially, all of human society splits into two paths- the path of the Eagle, and that of the Condor. The Eagle represents the North; masculine energy and focus of the mind. The path of the Condor is represented by the South; feminine energy and the softness of the heart.

According to the prophecy, the 1490s marked a significant event that would ignite a 500 year period of suffering and conflict. During this time, the people of the Eagle would gain enough power and force to almost completely eliminate the people of the Condor.

Look around…you can see this has happened and is continuing to happen today; the past 500 years show example after example of Native peoples being killed and oppressed.

The prophecy continues by saying that the next 500-year period, which began in the 1990s, would be a time of divine connection between the Eagle and the Condor. Or rather, that there would be the potential for these two to fly together and ring in a new age of consciousness for all mankind.

The following video is a clip from the film Shift of the AgesIt features indigenous leaders from North, South, and Central America who talk about the prophecy of the Condor and the Eagle- but they do more than just talk about it. They bring it to life. You can feel the fire of the Eagle, and the gentle caress of the Condor, and you experience the past 500 years in the blink of an eye.

The prophecy is telling us that the time for a shift is now. We have the potential; we know how to make this a better world for everyone. So, let’s do it. I’m ready to fly- are you?
