Kevin Costner’s Past, Present and Future as Seen Through Numerology and Astrology

Share Button

Below details some information about Kevin Costner’s past, present, and future based on basic numerology and astrology.

We don’t have his birth time and birth place, so this is a general overview analysis. Also, we’ve never seen a sample of his handwriting.

Please keep in mind that, although we’ve enjoyed some of his films, we’re mostly unfamiliar with him and his life and that all the information below is derived only from his basic numerology and astrology charts.

A key purpose in Kevin’s life is to experience and deal with international recognition; he was fated for major stardom and fame, most likely to experience all the rewards and challenges that go along with it. He has a deep universal outlook, yet he excels through a pragmatic, hard working, fundamental approach. He also possesses tremendous emotional depth and strength; his temperament is primarily emotional (vs. physical, mental, or intuitive) with a lot of physical stamina behind it.

Before age 24 he was forced to cope with excessive feelings of isolation and limited (compared to his later years) romantic possibilities. After he reached age 25/1980, he started coming into more rewarding career timing, but it really didn’t begin in a big way until age 30. He went through his share of career struggles age 25 to 30, with ages 25 and 26 being an important, but tough transition.

By Age 32/1987 he was well on his way to destined far-reaching recognition. Age 34/1989 through age 42/1997 was when he was fated to experience tremendous fame and career success.

Between age 43/1998 and 52/2007 he is enjoying life more, having more fun, and attracting younger lovers. Some of his more important long-term time cycles dictate that he’ll always be attracting younger lovers after age 42, but the difference between the span of time between age 43 through 51, and after age 51 is that age 52/2007 and beyond his love life will include far more longevity and permanence.

He reportedly met his current fiancé around age 44/1999 and they were engaged in 2003. To be candid, this is one of those love connections that, despite appearances, won’t endure. Furthermore, it will eventually be a difficult separation for Kevin and it will also cost him in more than one way.

While Kevin was destined to acquire a lot of money throughout his time here on earth, another theme in his life is to learn to unconditionally let go of money and material things. Big money in, big money out.

2006 could have been especially emotionally demanding for Kevin, and we suspect that his current relationship has been fading fast since the start of 2007. Age 52/2007 is when he makes progress in getting over the breakup (even if it’s only emotional and not an actual physical separation). Kevin’s romantic commitments secured before age 52/2007, including his current marriage, won’t stand the test of time.

During age 52/2007, 53/2008, and 54/2009 it’s highly probable that he will meet one or more extremely compatible lovers and it’s from that point on (age 52) that he has much more stable love timing.

He’s very busy with work age 53/2008 to 58/2013, and then he must endure a period of career struggle age 66/2021 through 69/2024. His money acquisition looks excellent from 70 to 78, but there are excessive personal challenges to deal with in his 70s including a couple of isolated-feeling, faith-testing periods, and plenty of emotional trauma.

Exuding charm and compassion (remember, we’re only going on what we see in the charts), Kevin Costner is the type of person that ages gracefully and has better love prospects in his later years.

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston as Seen Through Numerology and Astrology

Share Button

The media won’t tell you what Brad and Jennifer’s marriage was really like because they don’t know.

We do know that their marriage didn’t “fail” just because it didn’t last forever.

We do know that since both of them are independently very wealthy and that money is not an issue, they were unlikely to stay trapped in a bad marriage due to financial limitations.

We do know that since both of them are attractive and very successful, they most likely had less fear than most people about being able to find new romantic partners after divorce, and therefore were more likely to “call it like it is” instead of pretending it to be a good marriage.

We do know that each of them have the right to date whomever they want after they split.

We do know that there is a saying in Hollywood that “Any press is good press.”

We do know that there is no such thing as a victim.

We do know that most relationships have time limits. Just because a couple is physically together, does not mean that their relationship didn’t end months, years, or even decades ago.

Keep in mind that you don’t know exactly when Brad and Jennifer finally decided to go their separate ways. However, looking into their basic numerology and astrology charts, we learn quite a bit about their relationship.

We are almost positive we have all of Brad’s birth data, But we’re not sure about Jennifer’s birth time. Therefore, we’ll do a general overview reading using mainly their full dates of birth.

Were both Jennifer and Brad destined for big-time fame? Yes.

Does Jennifer have many indications of higher than average love life challenges in her basic charts including plenty of romantic heartache and disappointment? Yes, absolutely. She (her higher-self, not her personality) has chosen to balance a lot of this type of karma carried over from past lives.

Does Brad also have his share of not-so-pleasant love relationship karma? Yes, absolutely.

Reportedly, Jennifer and Brad met and started dating in 1997. Does the approximate time (12 month window) they initiated their relationship suggest a long-term harmonious connection based on their basic charts? No, not at all.

Brad and Jennifer were married July 29th, 2000, which is about 1/6th of the way through a transition period for Brad including extremely challenging fear-about-the-future energy and an overall collapse of cherished ideals; anything but supportive of a solid, long-term marital foundation.

We suspect he knew he was making a mistake by going ahead with the marriage, but we also feel the event was going to happen no matter what. Fate is fate.

Based on our findings, 2003 was extremely emotionally trying for Jennifer and they both knew their marriage was finished in 2003.

Instead of viewing their relationship and consequent break-up as a negative, we choose to see it as a part of their personal destinies, including important lessons that their higher-selves desired to learn. Now they can both move ahead with their lives and address the other karma they are supposed to balance.

Brad and Jennifer’s relationship and marriage seemed like a fairytale in the beginning, especially if viewed at face value through all the special reports and magazine articles. Unfortunately, fairy-tales don’t exist in real life. Too many couples expect, even demand a dream relationship and learn the hard way that if it’s not meant to be, it will not be. Instead, the best approach, as we’ve said before, is to accept each relationship for what it’s meant to be for however long it’s meant to be.

Numerology & the Number 7 and Why it’s Often Not as Lucky as You Might Think

Share Button

If you were born on the 7th, unfortunately, it doesn’t mean you’re lucky. The number 7 on a numerology personality or cyclical timing level is most often associated with humiliation, fear, delays, anxiety, solitude, exhaustive self-examination, fall from grace, lowered physical vitality, illness, drinking/ drugging, ill-advised relationships, emotional blockage, repression, being misunderstood, attracting romantic partners that have drug and or alcohol problems, nervousness, and lack of recognition (feeling invisible).

Other difficulties and negatives related to the number 7 are as follows: lack of trust in others, isolation, aloofness, pessimism, elitism, sarcasm, lack of humor, pride, skepticism, paranoia, talent for mind games, cynicism, totally removed from the mainstream of life, depression, “brick wall-type” (meaning not personable), icy exterior, intolerance, and reticence.

However, as every number has a balanced or “high side,” 7 is strongly associated with “inner-world” pursuits, details, clairvoyance, telepathy, prophesy, inner growth, intuition, uncovering truth, wisdom, spiritual studies, original solutions, intelligence, someone who is outgoing and expressive when the conversation turns to deeper subjects but who avoids small talk, refinement, discernment, enjoyment of solitude (due in part because 7-types are often in communication with other dimensions whether they’re conscious of it or not), psychic/secret/intelligence work, “x-ray vision,” acute powers of perception, recognition for scientific or spiritual achievement, honor, cool detachment and reserve, refined beauty, brilliance, unsolicited gifts and rewards, mental and cerebral pursuits, logic through deep analysis, ability to successfully dissect complex issues, dignity, very subtle and quick mind, automatically “knowing” things without knowing how he/she knows, striving for excellence, spiritual initiation, thoroughness, and inquisitiveness.

It’s true that the energy associated with the number 7 is some of the most unpredictable energy (along with that relating to the number 9, and Master Numbers such as 11, 22, 33, etc.) and that it’s of a “different wavelength.” People with lots of 7 in their personality charts are frequently thought of as being from a different planet. The 7 represents other-worldly and other-dimensional energy. Think of people with a lot of 7 energy as how fish might view turtles that frequent both land and sea; unusual to say the least. Heavy 7-types are physically here, but often they’re preoccupied other things, like the whisperings in their ears from invisible beings.

As a timing aspect, depending upon in which position in the charts it is found, it’s more often than not symbolic of a rough period of time. This is especially true in regards to the romantic and emotional areas of life, and for those who direct the bulk of their energy and attention toward material interests instead of  faith, spirituality, personal growth, wisdom, and “inner world” pursuits.

Over 400 different personality and timing aspects comprise the various charts of a typical comprehensive numerology system. Patterns (i.e., multiple corroborating aspects) signify character, life events and circumstances, although single aspects also hold significance.

The Day of Birth number is, by itself, a very important timing and personality aspect. The 7 as a Day of Birth number is frequently rewarding for those in the following lines of work: science, spirituality, film, occult, teaching, metaphysical, advisory, examination, technical, refined art, forestry/nature preserve, over-seas travel, shipping, critical analysis, writing, research, philosophy, precision craftsmanship, analysis, invention, investigative, espionage, intelligence, secret work, and other highly specialized work

Handwriting Analysis: What a Handwriting Analyst Can Tell You About Your Lover

Share Button

A well-trained graphologist (handwriting analyst) can certainly identify personality strengths, challenges, and potential relationship problems, but he/she won’t tell you if you should marry or not. That decision is up to you.

Before committing to a life together (as with traditional marriage), two people would help themselves by also seriously considering who they really are (aside from all societal programming and conditioning), why they are here on Earth, and what it is that their higher-selves (souls) have chosen to experience. Graphology, meditation, and regression therapy are effective ways to know the who and comprehensive astrology and numerology open the door to the what and why.

It’s rare for modern-day couples to give much thought to themselves and their relationships before committing, legally or otherwise. It’s much more common to leap before looking in matters of the heart and we see this as “by design” so that we all put ourselves in the positions necessary to fulfill spiritual contracts, many of which include difficulties.

For those interested in and possibly fated for a more cautious approach, graphology (handwriting analysis) offers tremendous personality and relationship insight.

Comprehensive numerology and astrology are good for personality analysis, but our findings indicate that graphology offers a deeper look into subconscious personality.

A well-trained graphologist can indicate if a person is emotionally stable or volatile, honest or insincere, enthusiastic or depressed, in good health or unwell, intellectually sharp or slow-witted, artistic or analytical, sedentary or physically active, closed or open-minded, extroverted or introverted, tense or relaxed, immature or mature, and much more.

Some of the more important areas of interest a graphologist examines in relation to romantic compatibility are as follows: emotional maturity, integrity, honesty, sincerity, need for variety, level of interest in sex, communication skills (including listening skills), level of self-esteem, critical analysis/sense of discernment (effectiveness in identifying and understanding personality relationship issues), acquisitiveness (desire for money and material things), and financial extravagance/irresponsibility.

Since sex and money seem to be the root of many couple’s problems, most certified graphologists apply complex protocols to efficiently identify core issues. For example, financial issues are frequently linked with some of the following graphologically discernible personality traits: impulsiveness, lack of discipline, lack of control, extreme sensuousness, and distorted generosity.

Furthermore, graphologists consider the following traits to be some of the more destructive common red flags that challenge personal relationships: argumentativeness, domineering/controlling disposition, evasiveness, intolerance, vanity, withdrawal, reticence, drug and alcohol problems, fear of intimacy, denial, self-deception, and rationalization.

Note that graphology assesses conscious and subconscious character, so the graphologist is able to outline the real, prevailing personality; the one that shows up while under stress, not only the one displayed when on one’s best behavior.

A comprehensive handwriting analysis can indicate potential for future behavior, but in most cases, for instance, not that your mate is cheating right now. Still, it is possible to get a very good idea whether or not the subject is cheating if that person writes a reasonable sample (at least ¾ of a page) of
spontaneous handwriting, and writes specifically about his/her faithfulness/sincerity and his/her current relationship/partner. If he/she is in fact cheating, indications of integrity issues/insincerity would likely show up in the analysis.

When considering a long term commitment and/or marriage, it’s also important to acknowledge that permanence does not exist when it comes to relationships here on Earth. All bonds must dissolve at some point and fate guarantees (as can be identified and tracked through comprehensive numerology and astrology) whether a connection is to last only a day, endure a lifetime, or some period of time in between. Almost everyone wants an ideal match with which to spend the rest of his/her life. Knowing this while accepting that not all relationships are meant to be long-term can help minimize disappointment and heartache.

We would advise anyone to follow their heart, yet squarely face the truth that higher-self (soul) plans are frequently in contrast with ego-self (conscious personality) plans. Becoming aware of and aligning yourself with your true self and highest path pay deep dividends in the long run, although it’s not easy to give up many of those ego-self demands and expectations.

Our easy to use (even without a certified graphologist designation) Graphology Resource Keys and Graphology Trait-Based Guide offer tremendous personality and compatibility insight.

Spiritual Detox Follow-up

Share Button

The difference you feel after removing negative energy and, or entities is often proportionate to how much it/they were affecting you. Usually people feel an immediate difference after a clearing, accompanied by a deep feeling of peace.

The best way to verify that an entity is gone is to observe how you feel before and after the clearing. Also notice if any suspected, related symptoms weaken or disappear.

It’s important to note that there are different ways to release negative entities or negative energy. The methods we’ve outlined in prior articles have the best track record because entities are escorted to the Light by loved ones on the other side, not just forced out of the person’s body (as some priests do in exorcisms) for someone else to pick up.

It is possible for a soul or energy to attach to your soul before birth. There have been cases where the souls of people who died in a hospital joined babies before, during, or after birth. But there are no victims: Considering the belief that most key circumstances and events in people’s lives are fated, we feel that entity possession is a destined occurrence. Awareness of the phenomenon and the free will to clear negative energy and entities is also “part of the plan.”

Talking about or focusing too much on the released energy and, or entity can draw it back because you’re focusing on it. If you happen to think or speak of it, simply feel grateful that you are free of it and imagine protective white Light around you to shield yourself, affirming to yourself that it’s not welcome back.

Spiritual Detox – Symptoms of Spiritual Hitchhikers and Demons and How to Clear Your Aura

Share Button

Many people do need to cleanse their aura of negative energy, but some psychics try to capitalize on the fear surrounding the issue and charge outrageous fees. Too often, the unscrupulous psychics who attempt to charge such high rates don’t fully understand the issue of possession and how to successfully remove negative energy, let alone the basic principle of karma (what goes around comes around). These types of psychics are best avoided.

Negative energy can and does interfere with our lives. It consists of others’ thoughts and feelings, earth bound or lost souls, or on occasion, dark entities. Earth bound or lost souls are the souls of people who have died but, for various reasons, have not yet gone to “the Light.” Loved ones who have died, gone to the Light, and now watch over you do not fall into this category.

Symptoms of being influenced by negative energy or lost souls are feelings of being blocked, unexplainable or extreme anger, fears, sadness, depression, guilt, or anxiety, recurring dreams or nightmares, relationship problems, unexplainable physical symptoms, eating disorders, and the sudden onset of cravings for or addictions to alcohol, drugs, sex or smoking (especially if there are distinct personality changes while under the influence).

Other signs include negative emotional or physical reactions to the idea of cleaning your aura or spirit body (such as “part of you” wanting to do it and “part of you” not wanting to do it), reckless behavior, poor memory and concentration, hearing inner voices (especially with negative messages), feelings of being followed, feeling drained, sudden unexplainable physical problems, and recurring dreams or nightmares.

The most common ways of picking up such unwanted and uninvited energy is by weakening the energy field or aura with alcohol, drugs, extremely emotionally trying circumstances, or through sexual abuse, surgery, or illness. An almost guaranteed way of picking up “lost souls” (also known as spiritual hitchhikers) is by using drugs or drinking excessively and then walking through a hospital or cemetery. Unwanted, uninvited energy can also attach before birth, during birth, and during childhood.

Some ways to avoid picking up entities (especially important if you are more spiritually sensitive) include the following:

* Avoid drugs and excess alcohol.

* Avoid negative people.

* Mentally surround yourself with White Light whenever you think of it several times each day. Picture a bright light shining out from your solar plexus, surrounding, and protecting you whenever you think of it. Ask for assistance from God and/or guides of the Light.

* Mentally fill your home and/or office daily with White Light.

* Burn sage to help clear your energy field and residence. Upon hearing about the concept of entity possession or attachment, many people think of the movie The Exorcist. While the subject of possession was exaggerated in the movie for dramatic effect, entity possession or attachment can and does happen. Sometimes the symptoms of entity attachment are very subtle and go unnoticed, and sometimes a person can literally be taken over by one or more entities, sometimes dark, even from or before birth.

There are several books written about this subject, such as The Unquiet Dead, by Dr. Edith Fiore. In her book, Dr. Fiore explains that after people die, they usually go to “the Light,” as written about in many life after death books. Sometimes, however, souls don’t go to the Light for various reasons and instead remain earthbound. This is especially true in certain cases where someone dies angry, an addict of sex or any substance, or if they die a violent or sudden death. These souls resist going into the Light for various reasons and instead seek out and merge with someone in a physical body who can feed their addiction, has similar feelings of anger, depression, or other fears, or they may stay in close proximity to loved ones they knew while in a physical body. Often the intense feelings at the time of death are held onto and then felt by whomever the entity attaches to or merges with. Even though most entities don’t mean any harm they may still drain the energy of the host, causing tiredness or depression, and the host may easily mistake the entities’ thoughts and desires as his/her own.

Other books on the subject include SpiritReleasement Therapy by William J. Baldwin, D.D.S, Ph.D., RemarkableHealings by Shakuntala Modi, M.D., and Remote Depossession by Irene Hickman, D.O.

Some experts and therapists who help clients release entities believe that 85% or more of the population may have entities around them or within them that are interfering with their lives.

The subject of entity attachment may seem frightening, but there’s really nothing to fear. It is simply energy that needs to be firmly directed to the proper place.

15 Meditation Tips to Get More From Your Spiritual Discipline

Share Button

Meditation is one of the most important spiritual disciplines. The benefits of regular meditation are numerous, too many to list, yet peace of mind is one of the greatest.

Here are some of the meditation tips we recommend in our Psychic/Meditative State Script.

*Try meditating on an empty stomach or at a different time of day.

*Try it after a hot bath or shower.

*Try it after exercise.

*Try it after sex or instead of sex when in the mood.

*Try relaxing music. Experiment with different kinds to test which works best for you.

*Try no music.

*Try listening to our Let Go recording which utilizes brain-mind technology to effortlessly guide you into a meditative state.

*Try aromatherapy. Open a window when burning incense or candles indoors to vent any toxic fumes. Try rubbing a dab of pure scented oil on the back of your hands or on your neck. The scent will relax you and help you focus.

*Avoid all drugs. Even “just” marijuana “only once in a while” hinders intuition and clouds your mind for weeks afterwards.

*Try meditating with someone you love or with a group of friends. The combined energy will help you go deeper.

*You may be sensitive to something you’re eating or drinking. Pick a day and eat lightly, perhaps about half of what you usually do. Consume what you know will be easy to digest, such as lightly steamed vegetables. You should be able to focus more easily provided you feel lighter and more alert.

*Avoid sugar, including fruit sugar if you have sugar sensitivities.

*Watch the caffeine. Don’t go without it if you know you’ll have withdrawal symptoms, but don’t overdo it either.

*Certain supplements, herbs, and medications, especially if they affect your mood, may be disagreeing with your system and causing you to be scattered. Ask your doctor or health professional for alternative recommendations or if you can do without them for a while.

*Try deep breathing rapidly in and out through your mouth or nose for at least five minutes. Ten is better.

*Roll your closed eyes up to your third eye area, between and just above your eyes. Keep them focused there at a comfortable position without straining them. This position can automatically induce an altered state.

*Alternatively, with your eyes closed, try focusing your attention on your chest plate. If your attention starts to wander, begin counting at 1 and imagine each number appearing on your chest plate, as if you are painting them with an invisible paint brush.

*Close your eyes, breathe gently, and fantasize about your dreams and goals. What would your life be like if your dreams came true? These fantasies will help you become relaxed and may allow you to focus more. Patience and practice are important. Sooner or later something will click.

*Ask for help. If you keep asking God or your guides or angels of the Light how you can be more successful with meditation, you’ll eventually become aware of effective ways to go deeper and focus better. You’ll be a pro in no time.

*If you’re still having trouble perceiving anything, jump start the process by using your imagination. Tell yourself you’ll perceive the first image, thought, or feeling, in response to any of the questions or instructions in the script, on the count of three. Then count one, two, three and provide a picture or thought from your imagination or memory. Continue this process until other images that feel more related to the issue you are exploring start filtering into your mind.

*If you have tried everything and you still can’t seem gain any insight, there may be two other reasons: First, your expectations may be interfering. You may be expecting to see something when you might be more successful perceiving in a different way, such as sound or feeling. Try not to think during the process. Stay open and try visualizing white Light around you. Second, you may be blocked emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. Keep asking for help, continue practicing while utilizing the white light, and stay open for clues.

*It will also help you to realize that meditation is best approached as a long-term discipline, one that offers invaluable benefits for those willing to commit to it.

Psychic Prediction, Karma & Fate – You Can’t Rewrite the Karmic Play of Life After Incarnating

Share Button

You can react to your karma and fate, but you can’t delete it.

Also, fate and destiny are the same thing. Some creative, modern astrologers suggest otherwise, but fate and destined events and circumstances in people’s lives have always existed.

The good news is that you have free will to deal with it all and also to create as you see fit, as long as your desire is within your karmic blueprint.

How do you know what your fate is? As humans, we naturally set goals and take action in accordance with whatever feels the most “right.” For example, if you’re 5’3” tall, can’t jump, and you don’t like team sports, you are not going to try to become an NBA basketball player. Therefore, it’s most likely not your destiny.

There are no windows of opportunity that we are aware of, while incarnated, in regards to altering your destiny and karma. You can’t skip or add scenes and re-write the play of life while on “stage” acting it out. You (your soul) determines your karmic path – the “good” and the “bad”- before birth, and you (your personality) plays out that role after birth.

Why? Because your soul wants to grow and learn from specific lessons while incarnated. Just because your personality doesn’t like something that’s destined for you doesn’t mean you can pass over it.

We have witnessed, however, psychic guidance playing a role in helping to avoid danger, especially if a person is not meant to experience the event. For example, a psychic consultant tells a client to avoid a flying on a particular day, the client consequently changes her flight and therefore avoids a plane crash. From our perspective she was fated to take the psychic’s advice and avoid the flight, thus continue living.

Another example is how, in a spring 2001 predictive consultation, we recommended that a Manhattan entrepreneur client avoid opening a tentatively planned  new NYC restaurant in September 2001. Since he followed our advice and didn’t open the new place in September 2001, it appears as if, despite being fated for challenges in autumn 2001, he wasn’t destined for business failure involving significant financial loss.

We just happened to be part of the process by which he avoided disaster (9-11).

Also, no psychic is 100% accurate. Over the years, we’ve had a lot of readings with many different psychics, and a good number were very talented and accurate, but the majority were less than 65% accurate in predicting future events and indicating the precise timing of those circumstances. If you want a higher degree of accuracy, we suggest numerology and pre-modern astrology in conjunction with psychic insight.

Love Life Affirmations to Assist With Being Unhappily Single or Suffering in a Marriage

Share Button

Although you can’t cheat fate, affirmations are helpful in dealing with life’s challenges.

Single and hating it? Say the following until you feel and mean it, and then say it some more: “I’m single for a reason, so I’ll accept and be grateful for things as they are and make the most of my situation.”

The saying “a watched pot doesn’t boil” is relative to the idea of waiting for a good relationship partner. Sometimes it seems like you’ll never find someone, yet that’s the time to do other things in your life such as prepare for when you have a partner. Once you get to the point of enjoying being single, attracting someone doesn’t seem like such an impossibility.

However, We’ve found a strong link between how a person feels about finding a partner and their love life timing as seen through comprehensive numerology and astrology. For example, during the times that are most challenging as a single person, the times that a person most feels alone, for instance, patterns reflect the least likely time that he or she will attract a good partner. It appears that fate dictates much of life no matter what approach is taken, but you can make the most of your life within those boundaries.

Suffering in a marriage but don’t know if you should end it or not because you are afraid of hurting your spouse? You may be hurting your spouse (and yourself) more by staying in the marriage and preventing him or her from being with someone who is more compatible

In conjunction with the below affirmation, meditation will help you to be more centered and allow you to act for the highest good of everyone involved.

“I communicate openly, honestly, and with love and compassion.”

New Age Spirituality: Idealism vs. Realism

Share Button

We certainly appreciate the value of inspirational messages that are rooted in truth. However, at the present time, an over-abundance of spiritual misinformation is flooding the metaphysical market by those whom we call the New Age Cheerleaders.

They’re usually well-meaning, but denying the reality that adversity is an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, that it has a divine purpose, and instead  promoting false promises is a disservice to consumers. Ultimately, a lot of the excitement and hype only serves to increase book sales and seminar profits and can do more damage than good.

Throughout the past 20 plus years of being involved in the self-help, New Age, and metaphysical industry, we’ve seen it time and time again: participants of inspirational seminars and devotees of rosy passages in best-selling “spiritual” books grab hold of the false claims that the “experts” offer (“the perfect relationship and infinite abundance are right around the corner for you—it’s your birthright!”) and end up being disappointed after all the hype has faded. Too many “experts” claim, “…you can ‘create’ whatever you want and be whatever you want.” Based on our extensive research, we’ve found this to be false.

Further popular myths in the New Age movement include the following: “The era we are in is more ‘potent’ than ever. Therefore, we are more able, than ever before, to create what we want–we can have it all;” “We are moving from a time of ‘cause and effect’ to a time of ‘resonant causation,’ which means that we can now create whatever we want through the power of intent;” “It’s possible to dodge the karma you don’t feel like dealing with through the power of forgiveness;” “Astrology and numerology aren’t applicable to those who have increased their vibration through love and wisdom.”

Many of the Cheerleaders claim that fate doesn’t exist or that it is only applicable for select parts of life. In our opinion, they lack the right to deny the theory of destined life conditions until they first disprove the predictive sciences of numerology and astrology.

Hypothesis or theory can’t be proven, it can only be invalidated. Numerology and astrology have yet to be shown scientifically invalid. In order to accomplish this, two things are necessary: long-term, objective observation of the circumstances in the lives of many people and extensive personality and predictive work involving these ancient sciences.

Until then, the Cheerleaders are denying a more than 2000 year esoteric tradition (which has been wrongfully dishonored by the world’s organized religions–one of the greatest spiritual injustices in recorded history–and greatly distorted by the 17th/18th century Age of Reason/Rationalism) involving the prediction of life circumstances through numerology and astrology. In doing so and promoting their baseless promises of the power to “create” anything anyone wants and erase life challenges, they lead astray those seeking wisdom.

However trendy it is these days to reject the idea of predestination (events that are unavoidable), our research shows that fated circumstances (rewarding and challenging) are part of everyone’s life. Since 1992 we’ve scrutinized the numerology and astrology charts, and observed the representative circumstances (past and present) of thousands of people. Furthermore, whether a person believes in karma and fate or not, they are still bound by it, as we constantly witness.

Once you see, as we have, the constant repetition of numerological and astrological patterns entirely corresponding to circumstances in peoples’ lives, it is easy to stop rejecting the concept of fate.

Furthermore, though we are grateful for our guides and angels in spirit form and regularly work with Archangels, just because certain information feels good, is quoted by someone famous, or is “channeled” doesn’t mean it’s true for this dimension.

Additionally, the so-called divine messages of many popular metaphysical teachings too often get distorted through the human filters called the ego-self and conscious mind. The “I made millions/cured my disease/met the perfect mate; you can do it too!” messages beg for provisions such as, “…however, it may not be your karma and fate to accomplish what I did, so I can’t guarantee the same success I’ve had…”

We respectfully and compassionately would like to remind New Age inspirational authors and speakers that fate, dharma, and karma must be included in New Age communications (even if they are just indirectly alluded to). Otherwise, as we’ve seen, fictional inspirational communications can unfortunately send people down the primrose path of illusion and leave them utterly disappointed, not to mention further discredit the New Age movement.

Instead of misleading people into thinking they can erase their tough karma and create anything they want, we feel more emphasis should be placed on the following philosophy: much of life is karmic and fated, the “good” and the “bad,” there’s no avoiding what is meant to be, but there’s good news: you have free will to react the way you choose to your life’s predestined events and make the most of your time here on earth.

What exactly is the benefit of working with predictive numerology, astrology, and past life regression aside from constantly seeing fate in action? The benefits include self-knowledge, spiritual growth through awareness, wisdom, the ability to plan for the future, the understanding that order exists in the universe and that there are no victims, that life is void of randomness, and that there is meaning to everyone’s life.

In doing so, you’ll also find that the ancient mystics and Gnostics were right: Fate cannot be cheated, but it can be viewed in a way that makes life a heck of a lot easier.

Why do we repeat what we do about destiny and free will over and over? We feel these ideas are very valuable and that it’s our duty to share this sacred information and to expose New Age myths and misleading practices.

We want to share what we and multitudes of mystics throughout history have found as truth because with awareness comes clarity, and with clarity comes a more rewarding life.
