debbyski says: "Making amends means that you accept what you did, and more importantly, you accept the effect it had on the other person." Right on. If only more people adhered to this philosophy, the world just might be a tad nicer. Good Post, Debs Hey Deb, Had to post as the 9th step of Alcoholics Anonymous says in part that one should make "direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others." In other words restitution! It's part of a spiritual awakening guaranteed in the 12th step. How this is to be done AA outlines in detail & this step(Actually all steps) should be worked with a sponsor (Some one who's been there, done that & had a spiritual awakening them self.) I also had to post as I'm a numerologist & I noted #s that said I should....1st it was 6:03 when you posted which totals 9....2nd there were 27 views at that moment...& third it was 5:31 PM which is another 9 when I decid... Wow, Thanks allenmarkowski! Being of service and doing the right thing is so very difficult to do sometimes, especially when one doesn't know how to make a wrong right. But I believe that love and compassion will always find a way. @allenmarkowski I have a quirk with numbers too. I can never do anything 6 times. 5 or 7 is okay, but 6?? *shudder* *LOL* Anyway! Being able to accept an apology can sometimes be as hard as giving one. I think in songs a lot and sometimes music, like quotes, can express what I would like to get across a lot quicker and more poetically, than I can do myself. During or after "arguments", here a few of the songs I have been known to have sent to unwitting "victims": Jennifer Love Hewitt - Can I Go Now? Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice. Pink - Don't Let Me Get Me Bryan Adams - Please Forgive Me Chicago - Hard For Me To Say I'm Sorry My favourite though, has got to be [url=... Hmmm... this sounds familiar! Good deal, Deb! Hey, allan....well met to another friend of Bill W! Also dabble in numerology...9 is the "magickal number of completion". In Tator, it is the number of the Hermit card, which represents guidance from outside of oneself (by whatever name one chooses to call that "otherness" @thisnamecantbetaken 2891514531522521255 /68/14/5 Your online name is a 5. In numerolgy numbers are in the end reduced to a single digit with the exception of master #s (11,22, etc) which carry additional insights. The 26 letters of the alphabet are reduced to single digits by their place in their respective alphabet. Here is the key for future reference. 1=AJS 2=BKT 3=CLU 4=DMV 5=ENW 6=FOX 7=GPY 8=HQZ 9=IR I've been a musician most of my life & have found that numerology, music & math are inextricably linked. For ex.-Hit an E tuning fork touch it to your guitar & the strings that are tuned to E will begin to vibrate to it(Resonance). In a way the vibrations we send out resonate with people... @Thorne Thanks for the comments(Esp.Tator=Tarot). Regarding my experience with gematria my answer is yes. I was an active Jehovah's Witness(Pioneer, Ministerial Servant & Elder) for over 35 years & did much Bible study. One of my in depth studies was about the uniqueness of the ancient Hebrew & eventually led to my acceptance & current interest in numerology. How many written languages can you think of where each letter is not just a letter in a word but represents a complete thought, can be interchanged/represent a number, has no punctuation or vowels, is written from left to right & every letter begins with the same glyph (Yod-Divine light/spark)? When sharing my passion about #s such a... So my username adds up to 35>8. A number I always associate with struggle. Being right before 9 it always seems to be that trial by fire for me. The point at which I'm trying to assimilate the things I'm learning and make the leap to practical application. In Tarot, this number is represented by the Strength card. showing strength knowing you can endure having a gallant spirit feeling an unshakable resolve taking heart despite setbacks having stamina being a rock being patient dealing calmly with frustration accepting others taking time maintaining composure refusing to get angry showing forbearance being compassionate giving others lo... achieving soft control persuading working with guiding indirectly being able to influence tempering force with benevolence demonstrating the strength of love This is the area in which I am most entrenched currently and in general. (esp. those in italics.) Dixie Chicks - Not Ready To Make Nice.TNCBT, I too, hear my feelings in song lyrics. When I first heard the chicks "not ready" (above) I thought it was all about relationship anger/hurt. (because, of course, I personalized it because it's all about me, dontcha know) Right now I'm feeling "Dreaming Tree" by Dave Matthews. Don't ask me why... the lyrics are not relevent, but the feelings are. allan, LOL@ "tator" I really should be a more careful typist. It shouldn't be that difficult- after all, I only use 2 fingers!! LOL Deb, I can attest to the fact that ammends are difficult to make and keep. In AA we say it's only an amends if it i... I'm so glad somebody else thinks in songs and numbers too! *feeling not so quite so crazy now* That besides, I had the most rotten day yesterday and it's theme song just had to be "The American and Florence - Nobody's side" from Chess. Today though, I've chosen to rise up and over it and my song of the day is not about MY troubles at all; "Outlandish - Look Into My Eyes". A song like that sort of puts things in perspective for me. Anyway! I know absolutely nothing about the meaning of numbers but the *analysis* was astonishing, it's fascinating and I'm not surprised Mr GWB is a number 6. Not surprised at all. *LOL* I am finally admitting that I had A LOT to do with the crumbing of my marriage. 10 long years later - better late than never??? I'm asking for your input regarding my "confession" - and whether or not to ask my former husband for amends. We email about once a year and are actually pretty decent to each other. I have been "stuck" for the last decade, and would love to hear your opinions/suggestions regarding coming clean. I had an affair and basically flushed my marriage down the poop chute. I have carried this shame and guilt for SO long. Do you think it would be helpful or hurtful to him to admit what I did to us. If your spouse was unfaithful, would you want to hear an apology a... Do you think it would be helpful or hurtful to him to admit what I did to us. If your spouse was unfaithful, would you want to hear an apology after all this time?YES! Apology is about taking responsiblity for one's own pas unfortunate actions. The truth will always set one free. You could start here: http://www.mercuryhouse.org/apologia.html Thanks Debby! Now if I send you his number, could you call him for me? Thanks! Don't want to get my hands dirty - lol. Just kidding of course. Thanks for your help! Just kidding of course.*LOL* Hi, DebbieDebbie 452295452295 54 9 The online name you've chosen reduces to a 9 & if you recheck my earlier postings above regarding this # & this link http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/092C9E34-85B2-45B8-9FE3-85E369F31952/ you'll learn alot about what that means. In a nut shell you'd be acting in harmony with your name & spirit of the year which would be judicious. I couldn't help but notice some other things when I first saw your posting I just didn't have time to respond as it was late but I did note these things at the time. You became a member 9-23-2007 a 5 day & one of change & progress. The time of membership was 7:57 & the 7 calls for refection on past events where ... comment which reduces 666/18/9 When I am wrong I will apologize. |
