2014
A Universal 7 Year
(2+0+1+4 = 7)
The Truth Hidden and Revealed
Spiritual, Material Wisdom and Mystery
“Jericho’s walls fell on the seventh day after seven priests with seven ram’s horns marched around the city seven times.” (Joshua 6:7)
Seven is the number of the hidden, the veiled, the mysteries of life and speaks to that within us. In this quickening time of shifting consciousness, this year beckons us to journey within, to find the treasure of higher potential hidden there. We are thinking differently, interested in altogether different things this year, while finding ourselves losing interest in the same old normal ways of going about our lives. Like the Nine, Seven is also a cycle ending vibration, but unlike Nine, which resolves naturally at the end of the cycle, Seven ends unexpectedly, like a seven month birth, which is viable, but considered premature. The divulgence of Seven’s secrets and treasures is therefore mysterious and must be discerned, discovered and revealed with special, inner means. That which is not apparent must be sought after with intelligence and intuition. It must be craftily detected by sensing and feeling into with a calm and discerning mind. We will have to view life from a new angle. The sound of spiritual excellence and the perfection of life’s truth and beauty is nearly imperceptible in our noisy, clattering and endlessly busy world in every other year, but this year, the number Seven offers just such an opportunity.
2014 is the Seventh year in our current nine year cycle of creation, which began in 2008, our number One year of new beginnings (2+0+0+8 = 10, 1+0 =1). The Seventh year in every nine year cycle of creative development is a sabbatical time of rest and introspection, like Sunday, the seventh day, where the opportunity presents itself to think about and reflect upon the week’s experiences. However, the higher purpose in Seven is to dig down into unexplored dimensions of being for the purpose of discovery. On the whole, this is a thinking year and, as such, favors a thoughtful, more dignified manner. Negative, emotional reactions, therefore, will backfire in noticeably bigger ways. Seven is bent on revealing the truth of our intents and purposes to bring deeper wisdom and understanding about who and what we are. Luckily, Seven offers both spiritual and material avenues for the journey.
In the material aspect, Seven represents education, research and analysis. It is technical and scientific and seeks knowledge above all else. Seven appraises, evaluates and tests the worth of all activities on all planes of life. The mystical, intuitive side of Seven gives the ability to plumb the depths of reality in a constant quest to discover the hidden facts and is never satisfied until making connection with the sacred in all, linking the known with the unknown. Seven brings out in us shades of a relentless seeker of truth, who does not accept any idea, plan, information or even accepted fact at its surface value. Taking advantage this year of the opportunity to go within and take a good look individually, as well as collectively, enables us to see the larger truth of who we are as a society in unity consciousness, as well as where we fall short of that awareness.
The year will find us taking stock in our decisions and actions of the previous years to see if they hold up under scrutiny and we will be culling that which is not in alignment with our original intentions, as we refine and perfect existing conditions to better prepare for future actions. Seven will be directing our attention toward new ways of thinking and acting through the experiences we are meeting. So called “Whistleblowers” will gain new patriotic respect as truth tellers in the US in stark contrast to those who, under the self-serving guise of patriotism, seek to suppress the truth and undermine the quality of life for all citizens.
There will be new peaks in technological, educational, scientific and medical advancements, while past discoveries, laws and enactments will be re-assessed for true value and worth. In this year, we will intend to perfect what we have made since the start of our current nine year cycle. In 2008, our cycle beginning year, the US elected its first president of color and together we set the intention of Hope and Change for the entire cycle. At midpoint, 2012 brought uncertainty and awareness of what needed to be changed in us as individuals and, collectively, on political and social levels, in health care, gun control, immigration, etc.
2013 was a time of taking responsibility for making the changes, adjusting ourselves, accordingly, and building community. We’ve had a busy and tiring last couple of years. In fact, Hope and Change have been embattled since the beginning of this cycle, despite our good intentions.
2014 will be different in that it is a time of greater discernment and analysis that calls us now to look beneath the surface of what seems obvious, to find the deeper reality of what is and rest in it. There will be unusual breakthroughs in meditative practices, experiences and events revealing astonishing shifts in collective and individual consciousness. There will also be an upsurge in religious reform and spiritual interests with the discovery of new and advanced mental and intuitive abilities. There will be a marked increase in paranormal, metaphysical experiences, deeper research and discovery concerning the multidimensionality of humanity with increasing public revelations regarding contact with extraterrestrials.
We will be taking a closer look at all the systems governing our country and our world, especially in the areas of education, finances and banking, and advanced technologies. In fact, any concern in political or social arenas, where the truth has been clearly distorted for the benefit of the few and the detriment of the many, will be fair game for intense scrutiny.
In short, on the more mundane level, there will be unprecedented truth telling resulting from meticulous and determined research and investigation into certain material accomplishments and events in our more recent past, world wide, and most noticeably in this country. However, this level of scrutiny and revelation will inevitably arouse both positive responses and negative suspicions and reactions as the darker side of the number Seven will also have equal opportunity to manifest. The qualities of discretion, poise, silence, research, observation and truth telling inherent in Seven can be distorted in the extreme as deception, criticism, skepticism and detachment. These give rise to extreme secretiveness, disconnection, hiding, suppressing or distorting the truth, being cold, calculating and eccentric in views and actions, fearful, critical, cruel and unreasonable in nature. Important months to be aware of are April, July, September and October.
However, on higher consciousness levels, Seven produces spiritual/fractal masters in the forms of extraordinary students, teachers, scientists, inventors, builders, artists, healers and others who seek to bring the higher truth to light for the betterment of all. So, some will bury the truth but many others will dig to find what is real.
We can find agreement in the quote,
“Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars”
for in this Seventh year, we have come of age in this cycle and if we will but turn within, have faith in our ability to discern the truth, seek it out and act upon it, this will likely be a wholly satisfying and redeeming year for us all, even in the face of extreme adversity.
Remember, Seven is a lucky number, and it only awaits our recognition of the deeper truth of who and what we are at essence to bestow its gifts for enactment. Attachment to the past and letting go of our fear of change has been our greatest challenge in these times. We have always had the ability to discover the gift of knowing that what is going on inside is reflected in our outer environment and that we could therefore change most of what happens in the world, anytime, by merely acknowledging the truth of who and what we are inside of ourselves. Many chose or have been chosen to see, but too few have acted.
However, we are now in a chrysalis stage beyond time and, like the caterpillar in the cocoon, the Who we are is slowly dissolving into an unrecognizable liquid of What potential. The What we are is becoming a butterfly essence of conscious awareness that will none too soon pollinate the dimensions with its sweet nectar so that all can fly.
Wishing you the joy of numinous insights and wisdom gained in this new year of discovery,

P.S….A note regarding this Seven year on individual levels: Those whose personal year number is different in addition to this Seven universal year will meet the experiences of the Seven in combination according to their own frequencies. However, those whose personal year is the same as the universal this year will experience Seven’s energetic influence more directly.
