Angel numbers are recurring numerical sequences that are meant to divinely guide us along our human journeys. They often appear as synchronicities and signs that we are meant to gain energetic insights from. These numbers begin to appear when you start to "wake up." This read will describe how angel numbers function and reveal interpretations of some of the most common sequences.

Besides counting my money, Numerology was my first introduction to numbers, and I became very intrigued. It is the branch of knowledge that deals with the supernatural significance of numbers. Just like looking up your astrological natal chart, you can look up your numerology to map out things such as your life path number, as well as to foretell certain milestones during different intervals of your life.

Just as I began to be open to the significance of numbers, I started to see my first angel numbers. 11:11 mysteriously showed up whenever I would look up at my clock, on buses, on television, on someone's clothing, on posters, everywhere. Whenever I would cross the pedestrian crosswalk, my eyes always met the number 11 during the countdown. This numerical phenomenon felt eerie because every time I would see the number, I would feel a ripple crawl up my spine or arms. It was a new experience that I had never felt before.

Along with seeing the number 11:11, I begin to have scattered thoughts, and found myself sitting in more moments of silence than usual. It truly was as if I was trying to figure something out, while simultaneously thinking about a bunch of nothing.

Soon, new numbers begin to appear in my reality. I saw 444's and 222's popping up all over the place. I started to realize that the numbers were trying to tell me something, but I was too afraid to ask anyone else if they had been experiencing the same things.

Something within my spirit told me that this was not just a coincidence and that my intuition was picking up on a deeper meaning. It wasn't until I reconnected with my estranged sister, that I learned that I was "waking up." We had not seen or spoken to each other for almost a year, and were brought together by a family crisis. I revealed to her what I was experiencing, and she knew exactly what I was speaking of because she had gone through the same thing.

Seeing the number 11:11 is the first sign that you are undergoing the process of Ascension, which, in short, is the journey of spiritual awakening. Through Ascension, you open your eyes to your own divine sovereignty with the realization that your physical body is just a vessel for infinite consciousness. It involves unplugging from "The Matrix," which is a structure of illusion that disconnects you from universal oneness and traps you in an existence of three-dimensional duality.

How It Works

Numbers are as natural as anything else on the Earth, both physically and biologically. Numerical patterns can be found in everything from plants, to the sequence of our human DNA. Consider the "Golden Ratio" or the "Fibonacci Code."

The Fibonacci code is a term in mathematics that is characterized by the fact that every number after the first two numbers in the sequence is the sum of the previous two.What happens with this specific numeric sequence when drawn out in a scale or diagram, is that it begins to spiral.

This spiral appears in the smallest and largest objects in nature, anywhere from flowers to whole galaxies. It is a way for information to flow in a very efficient manner. When you look at the mandala, a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism that represents the universe, or a circular disk or spiral shape, you will notice how numerical coding creates patterns that are visible to the human eye.

Numbers are found at the core of everything. Numbers govern the universe. from nature, to energy movement, to sound, colors, and sacred geometry - numbers are a binary universal language of their own.

No matter what race, gender, tongue, or creed, numbers speak to all of us. This is why numbers are used as indicators of rising consciousness and why numbers are one of the first signs or synchronicities you notice when you are waking up to your higher self.

When the universe relays messages to us during the beginning stages of Ascension we consciously become aware of the vibrational language and nature of numbers. They are nicknamed "angel" because these messages seem to come from above, but in reality these numbers are simply understood by your higher consciousness.
