   What is the meaning of life? This is a question often ask by many but never more than in relation to September 11, 2001, when the most shocking contemporary event in the lives of not only Americans but people from all over the world, actualized. Nine-Eleven is a day in which a ripple of emotion passed through every man, woman, and child around the globe, regardless of race or nationality. There was a surge of energy, masked in some areas, which eventually resulted in the culmination of events that lead up to May 1, 2011.

     Osama Bin Laden is the most hated man in recent American history. George Walker Bush and Barack Hussein Obama, as well as every other American in the country knew who he was—an “evil man” in every sense of the word. “Evil” spelled backwards is “Live” and to live in America means love of life, enthusiasm, energy, and self-expression. And, we can’t forget freedom. We have the choice to live and experience or live and be suppressed, but never the less, we have a choice. Bin Laden was totally opposed to everything we as Americans live and breathe every day.

     Our sensitivity to the infamous date of 9 / 11 and the ensuing paranoia will linger long past the actual capture of Osama Bin Laden, and the demise of his followers. For a long time we will be wondering if Bin Landens are walking around everywhere in plain site, living in our neighborhoods, teaching our children, and operating in emergency rooms? A thought, we certainly put to the test, with more than a few false arrests due to paranoid speculation. But is that who we really are—suspicious, doubtful and paranoid? That may be who we have become right now, but do we want to own that paranoia forever?

     The Higher Power and the number eleven (11) will forever be ingrained in everyone’s mind around the globe for generations to come, because it changed the way we collectively viewed our existence and relationship to one another. No longer were we Americans under one nation under God. We turned into a nation infiltrated, segregated, and dare I say “paranoid and afraid of everything.” We became paranoid about everyone and everything including our neighbors. Were they our enemy or our ally? Paranoia materialized in the form of hoarding, especially with commodities such as oil, and fuel prices soared worldwide.

     Numerically, America’s Life Path is 23 / 5 which stands for man, drive, and experience. Life, and the ability to choose and think for ourselves is what makes us different from most people who don’t have the same freedoms we as American’s take for granted. Our freedoms are truly a privilege which has been bestowed upon us by a Higher Power, whether we believe in one or not. I know it can be hard to believe in a Higher Power especially following such heinous acts as 9 / 11.

Nevertheless, there is a Higher Power at work in relation to the numerology of the specific dates when the War on Terrorism started 9 / 11 / 01 and ended on 5 / 1 / 11. But, did the War on Terrorism really end on 5 / 1 / 11? Or did we simply have a transmutation of energy into a new form and the birth of new terror monger?

     Now let’s get down to what these numbers all mean. Eleven (11) is a Universal Day. This master number is at the heart of the understanding of human nature that sparks illuminations. Enlightening one to a greater understanding of being human and what we are becoming, evolving to, and expressing.

     Everything is energy and man’s laws are created to govern the people while universal laws are known to govern nature. All will eventually pay their debts. So what was 9 / 11 all about? What was it meant to do? Make us aware of our enemies? Or how far we have evolved since the days of the outhouse? Have we changed at all? Are we really that different?

     It just so happens that the eleventh card in the Tarot card deck is Justice.  So does that mean what we witnessed on 9 / 11 was justice for transgressions of the United States in some capacity? Then when the United States finally found Justice for the al-Qaeda bombings of the Twin Towers on 9 / 11, the date was 5 / 1, a one (1) day. This was a mighty wake-up call from the results of seeds that had been planted in the collective. I would say this is indeed an interesting combination of numbers.

     The occurrences of 9 / 11 created a 16 / 7 Personal Day for the United States. The sixteenth card in the Tarot card deck is the Tower which reveals chaos, devastation and forced change that brings enlightment. When a 16 / 7 day occurs some hard event will happen. Is God’s Plan irony or synchronicity? The date was a shock for the people of planet Earth. Especially for those of us who live in the United States. Up until then we were thought of as invincible. Although terrorism started many years earlier, it took 9 / 11 to illuminate our strengths and weaknesses. The number eleven showed our fragile underbelly and how human we really are.

     Life is change, continual growth and rebirth. To be stuck or held down only builds pressures within the collective. Some of the air must be allowed to escape the balloon or the balloon will pop. Is that what the eleven (11) Master Number birthday of this event with a 16 / 7 Personal Day for the United States is meant to impart?

     Next we have to consider what just happened on 5 / 1 / 11 with the capture and killing of the master mind of terror Osama Bin Laden. Here we have a one (1) day—a day of new beginnings, life, the start of new cycles and planting seeds. Rejoicing was heard all over the world—even from those living among his ranks. Rejoicing for the calculated strategic elimination of a viral element that destroyed life as we knew it, and for what it means for the future of the world.

     A one (1) day is for planting, creating new patterns, growth and birth. Does this event mean life is going to change, shift, and allow the economy to let up? Are we going to see a rise in growth, available jobs, and a lowering of fuel costs? Does it mean the world finally has the upper hand on terrorism, and those who have reined terror down on us are going to fade into the distance and become a moot point?  

     For the United States it was a 12 / 3 personal day, which means more growth, although this growth is born from sacrifice. Sacrifice is never easy, nor is its value fully understood when it occurs. Who are we? What are we becoming? Did we celebrate because a mass murderer was executed or because of the possible end to conflict around the world? Or has the United States grown as a result of all the change we have been forced to go through in the last 10 years?

     Does the one (1) in 5 / 1 set into motion a new way of life, attitude, and belief systems? Or did it just prove the arrogant and direct point, as the one (1) can so often do, that we always get our man? Is the experience of the one (1) and the 12 / 3 a precursor to what should be expected or just an illuminating event designed to show us flaws and imperfections, and how we need to re-orient ourselves? One thing is for sure, humanity did come together for a moment, bridging the gap of race, class, sexual, and religious orientation. But how long will it last?

     There are so many places and disciplines that yield information—Astrology, Tarot, Numerology. It is what we do with this information that can empower us or force us to live in denial. Uniquely, now you know a little about the cosmic forces of this tide. How has it affected you? Did you learn something? Think about the way you live your life? Think about the way others, on the other side of the world, live their lives? If you did, then the process of human evolutionary change is underway.
