October 28 thru November 6, 2012
Ricardo and I returned to Phoenix, Arizona on Sunday, October 28, 2012. During our drive, Ricardo revealed to me that my Personality Number in numerology was the number 4, which offered the following meaning:
People with four as their Personality Number are ideal citizens. They are honest, industrious, responsible, conservative, and want to help the community. No matter what task they want to complete, they will achieve their goal. Such people don’t like conflicts and surprises and try to avoid them. Usually, they fulfill themselves as great builders. People with Personality Number 4 built a significant number of good communities. Such people are practical, hard-working, and conscientious. The frills of life don’t attract them. They are often described as well-organized, disciplined, and capable. Their pleasures are pretty quiet, as they enjoy nature, home, family, and well-done work. Personalities of Number 4 are frugal, conservative, cautious and “square,” as their no-nonsense directness make other people believe them. Such personalities also make an impression of someone who is dependable, honest, reliable and robust character. Advice for persons with number 4 is to avoid taking life too seriously, be more spontaneous, and develop a sense of playfulness and fun.
The following week, I noticed a tremendous change in my relationship with Ricardo. I attributed our newfound connection to our visit to Joshua Tree National Park and the Salton Sea after completing the “Freedom” and “Water” invocations. I knew that these two meditations had, without a shadow of a doubt, something to do with healing our friendship.
On Monday, October 29, I received a text from my friends at Hopi informing me that they had received all of the photographs I had mailed a couple of weeks earlier. They also informed me that they had killed two elk on their most recent hunt; however, there was no mention of me joining them on their next quest. A part of me was very relieved because I genuinely wasn’t interested in participating in one of their hunts. I was very much interested in learning some of the rituals associated with hunting but not interested in the hunt itself.
On Sunday, November 4, Ricardo departed for Alameda, California, to begin his new job, which started the following day. I remained in Phoenix, on the 33rd Parallel, to focus on finishing my journey. I planned to complete my journey during November and then join Ricardo in Alameda at the end of the month.
After seeing Ricardo off at the airport, I returned home to determine the dates and locations of the last ten meditations needed to complete my 72 Days of Angels adventure. By the end of the day, I had figured out exactly what I wanted to do with the last ten meditations.
Here’s a clue:
The Tree of Life comprises ten spheres, with an 11th invisible sphere – Daath. 22 paths connect them. 22 is also an essential number within the framework of Rennes-le-Château, where it is traditionally seen as a “code” that refers to Mary Magdalene – whose feast day is July 22. (Coincidentally, my birthday) In Rennes-le-Château, the number 22 instead seems to be more logically linked with the Kabbalah: there are twenty-two steps in the Tour Magdala and twice eleven steps on the path that leads up to the Belvedere. In short, Saunière linked 22 with “ascending stairways” – climbing up the Tree of Life?
My next task, however, was to determine the exact dates on which I would perform my final meditations. I planned to perform the last meditation on the 112°03′ Latitude 33°21’40.32″ Longitude, which complimented my relationship with my numbers 1, 2, and 3 and the 33rd Parallel.
On the evening of November 6, 2012, I prepared for the Day 63 of my journey.
