Number Sequences From The Angels

by Doreen Virtue, PHD..

The angels do their best to get our attention and to communicate with us. In this way, they help us heal our own lives. However, we often discount the signs they give us, writing them off as mere coincidences or our imagination. The angels say: "We can't write our messages to you in the sky. You've got to pay attention and believe when you see any patterns forming in your life — especially in response to any questions or prayers you've posed.
When you hear the same song repeatedly or see the same number sequence, who do you think is behind this? Your angels, of course!"

Number Sequences

Your angels often communicate messages to you by showing you sequences of numbers. They do this in two ways. First, they subtly whisper in your ear so you'll look up in time to notice the clock's time or a phone number on a billboard. The angels hope you'll be aware that you're seeing this same number sequence repeatedly. For instance, you may frequently see the number sequence 111, and it seems every time you look at a clock the time reads 1:11 or 11:11.


The second way in which angels show you meaningful number sequences is by physically arranging for, say, a car to drive in front of you that has a specific license plate number they want you to see. Those who are aware of this phenomenon become adept at reading the meaning of various license plates. In this way, the angels will actually give you detailed messages. Here are the basic meanings of various number sequences. However, your own angels will tell you if your situation holds a different meaning for you. Ask your angels, "What are you trying to tell me?" and they'll happily give you additional information to help decode their numeric meanings.


111 - Monitor your thoughts carefully, and be sure to only think about what you want, not what you don't want. This sequence is a sign that there is a gate of opportunity opening up, and your thoughts are manifesting into form at record speeds. The 111 is like the bright light of a flash bulb. It means the universe has just taken a snapshot of your thoughts and is manifesting them into form. Are you pleased with what thoughts the universe has captured? If not, correct your thoughts (ask your angels to help you with this if you have difficulty controlling or monitoring your thoughts).


222 - Our newly planted ideas are beginning to grow into reality. Keep watering and nurturing them, and soon they will push through the soil so you can see evidence of your manifestation. In other words, don't quit five minutes before the miracle. Your manifestation is soon going to be evident to you, so keep up the good work! Keep holding positive thoughts, keep affirming, and continue visualizing.


333 - The Ascended Masters are near you, desiring you to know that you have their help, love, and companionship. Call upon the Ascended Masters often, especially when you see the number 3 patterns around you. Some of the more famous Ascended Masters include: Jesus, Moses, Mary, Quan Yin, and Yogananda.


444 - The angels are surrounding you now, reassuring you of their love and help. Don't worry because the angels' help is nearby.


555 - Buckle your seatbelts. A major life change is upon you. This change should not be viewed as being "positive" or "negative," since all change is but a natural part of life's flow. Perhaps this change is an answer to your prayers, so continue seeing and feeling yourself being at peace.


666 - Your thoughts are out of balance right now, focused too much on the material world. This number sequence asks you to balance your thoughts between heaven and earth. Like the famous "Sermon on the Mount," the angels ask you to focus on spirit and service, and know your material and emotional needs will automatically be met as a result.


777 - The angels applaud you…congratulations, you're on a roll! Keep up the good work and know your wish is coming true. This is an extremely positive sign and means you should also expect more miracles to occur.


888 - A phase of your life is about to end, and this is a sign to give you forewarning to prepare. This number sequence may mean you are winding up an emotional career, or relationship phase. It also means there is light at the end of the tunnel. In addition, it means, "The crops are ripe. Don't wait to pick and enjoy them." In other words, don't procrastinate making your move or enjoying fruits of your labor.


999 - Completion. This is the end of a big phase in your personal or global life. Also, it is a message to lightworkers involved in Earth healing and means, "Get to work because Mother Earth needs you right now.


000 - A reminder you are one with God, and to feel the presence of your Creator's love within you. Also, it is a sign that a situation has gone full circle.


Number Combinations

The angels will often give you a message that involves a combination of two or more numbers. Here are the basic meanings of triple-digit, two-number combinations. If your messages contain three or more numbers, blend the answers from the different number combinations. For instance, if you continually notice the sequence 312, use the meaning of the 3 and 1 number combination, plus the 1 and 2 combination.


Or, if you feel guided, add the numbers together. Keep adding the subsequent digits together until you have a single-digit number. Then, look at the meaning for that particular number from the previously outlined list of number sequences that contain identical numbers, (i.e. 111, 222, 333, etc.).

9's and 7's, such as 977 or 997 - Congratulations! You are shedding old parts of your life that no longer fit who you are. You are living a more authentic life that is in integrity with your highest view of yourself. This number sequence applauds your decisions to live honestly.


9's and 8's, such as 998 or 988 - Some significant phase in your life has come to an end, bringing with it other events that will also end in a domino effect.

This number sequence is a message that you are going through a chain of events, where many parts of your life are slowing and stopping. Worry not, though, because these changes are necessary for new sequences and circumstances to begin for you.


9's and 0's, such as 900 or 909 - This is a message from your Creator signifying that the part of your life that has just ended is Divinely guided. Nothing is ever truly lost. There is no death, and there are no accidents. Your recent life change, in which a significant part of your life has been halted or altered, is actually an answer to your prayer. God is letting you know that He is not taking anything away from you or "causing" your loss. Rather, your life plan or prayers called this life change to you, through your own God-given power. Be willing to forgive everyone involved so that you can be light and free as you enter into a beautiful new phase of life.


COMBINATIONS OF 0'S

0's and 1's, such as 001 or 010 - Powerful Divine guidance from God and the angels asks you to alter your thoughts. Perhaps you have been praying to be happier and healthier.

0's and 2's, such as 002 or 020 - God wants you to know that he has not forgotten or abandoned you. He loves you very, very much! In fact, God is orchestrating a wonderful new phase of your life. Talk to God often, and you'll feel this forthcoming miracle. God also reminds you of the importance of "Divine Timing." Sometimes, certain factors need to fall into place first before your desired outcome can be reached. As long as you hold onto your faith, there is nothing blocking you from attaining your desire.


0's and 3's, such as 003 or 300 - God and the ascended masters are trying to get your attention, most likely with respect to a matter related to your Divine purpose. Is there any guidance that you've been ignoring lately? If so, you may be feeling stuck right now. This number sequence is heaven's way of alerting you to the fact that you must to your part in the co-creation process. This means listening to and following your Divine guidance to take certain actions.

Know that God id within you and is your source for everything you need. Simply hold faith and gratitude, and be open to signs or new opportunities that will bring your material needs to you. "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all the rest will be added to you" is the heart of this number sequence's message.

Many people believe that angels are all around us. Part of their mission on Earth, they believe, is to occasionally help humans in times of danger, crisis or some other desperate need. If this is true, we can only wonder why these "guardian angels" seem to help certain people and not others, or lend their assistance only for particular events. Is there, perhaps, a greater plan they are helping to fulfill? The authors of the stories that follow would almost certainly answer "yes" to that question, since they firmly believe that have personally experienced the guiding hands of angels.

Slap on the Shoulder
I don't believe in ghosts, guardian angels or God. I have been an atheist all of my life, while respecting all religions and beliefs. Some years ago, however, I did have an experience that I couldn't explain - and left me wondering. I had been working in the United States and had returned to live in England after four years. During my time away, my father died of cancer and I made a brief trip home for the funeral. Apart from that once, this was my first time home since his death.

I arranged to take my nephews on a day out at a local amusement park and zoo. I picked them up, seeing that they were safely buckled up in the rear seat, together with my youngest daughter who was eight years old. My 12-year-old daughter was in the front with me as we set off on a short journey that I had made many times in the past. I had a sad feeling come over me during the journey, as I realized this route was also the one I took when visiting my father, and I felt I was grieving for him for the first time. The road we were on is a divided highway with two lanes in each direction and lots of blind curves that can be taken at speed. As was my custom, I was well over the speed limit, but enjoying a clear road and a fast car. Suddenly, I felt a violent slap on my shoulder. I slowed down as I turned to complain to the kids to stop fooling around. As I turned back, still slowing down, a truck came into view around the next bend. I stood on the brake and came to a halt inches from contact. The truck had jackknifed across the two lanes and, had I not slowed down, there would have been no way of avoiding a serious accident.

After my heart had stopped racing, I asked the kids which of them had smacked my shoulder. They all confirmed that, as they were buckled up, it wasn't possible to reach me, and that no one had moved at all. That evening I related all this to my sister, the mother of my nephews, and she pointed out that the incident occurred just where I would make the turn-off for my father's house, and that all his grandchildren were in the car with me. She really believes that he intervened that day and, for a while, I had some doubts and gave a lot of thought to it. I still can't explain it, and no longer try. But I swear that I can still feel the blow to my shoulder as though someone gave my a hard punch. The odd thing is, that the blow was to the front of my shoulder, not from behind, where the children were.

Steered to Safety
When my son was small, he was going to summer school. One afternoon, I drove my car to pick him up at the school. I was early so I stopped at a 7 Eleven to get a Big Gulp. It was too big for me to drink all at once and it was getting time for me to pick up my son, so I put it on the floor of the car. It fell over and I bent down to pick it up. I lost control of the car. There were cars parked all over that street, but my car went in between two of them and came to a standstill on a little hill in front of a townhouse. I believe there was a guardian angel watching over me that day and steering the car. Another time, I was in the hospital after a heart attack. My blood pressure was very high. I was given too much medication and my heart stopped. I passed out. I remember talking to someone just before I woke up, but I can't remember what was said.

Warm and Peaceful Aura
My experience with a guardian angel came six months after my husband died. I had bought some new mattresses from the furniture store, and they were being delivered. I bought the mattresses at a store some 30 miles from my home, so no one in that furniture store knew that I had just suffered a devastating loss. The delivery man came up to the door with the mattresses. He brought each one inside and put them beside the wall. I told him that I would put them on the bed later. My 11-year-old son was standing in the living room with me when the man was leaving. I made some small talk with the gentleman, but revealed nothing of my life, my loss or my sadness. As the delivery man opened the door to leave, he turned around and said, "Lady, I have to tell you something." He said that he hoped I would not think him weird or anything. He told me he saw an aura in my living room - an aura that was peaceful and warm and loving. He also said he felt as if there was a lot of love in my home. He went on to tell me that he has been able to see auras since he was in a terrible accident in his early 20s. He almost died. I had never before laid eyes on this man. He could not possibly have known my plight. My son and I just stared at him. I told him my husband died several months back. He was not surprised by that revelation. He just felt as if he needed to tell me about the love and peace he felt in my home. I thanked him for telling me. It really made my day. My son still smiles when I tell this story.

Saved from the Fire
On July 29, 2001, I had an experience that I know I had to have the help of a guardian angel. My husband is 77 years of age and he has the onset of Alzheimer's. I had a candle burning in the kitchen and I was in the bedroom folding up clothes that I had just washed. I heard my husband say, "I need help." I called to him and said, "What is wrong?" As I was calling to him, I was making my way to the kitchen. As I entered the kitchen door, I saw a huge flame coming from the drain board and I ran and grabbed some type of cloth and threw it into the sink. My husband got one and threw into the garbage can and I grabbed the can and poured water in it to stop the blaze. There was still one piece of cloth on the drain board burning. I grabbed it and threw it into the sink where the water was still running and I put out the fire. Neither my husband nor got burned and the only damage was a burn on the Formica about one half the size of a saucer. We had to have help from someone, and I just know it was a guardian angel because for some reason, my husband had put the kitchen towel over the candle and caused the fire. It took me a while to clean it up, but I was so thankful we were both alright. I do believe in guardian angels and I always feel secure knowing they are there.

Three Times Blessed
When I was 13, my cousin convinced me to play "dodge the cars" and when I tried it, I fell in front of one of the cars. When I opened my eyes, the front tire was about a half an inch from my face. The driver was in shock and kept saying, "How did the car stop in time?" The man who pulled him from the car testified that the car was in drive and his foot was on the gas pedal when he got to him. I believe my guardian angel stopped that car and let me hear what those men were saying so I would know how close I came to death.

Another incident occurred when my son was born. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck several times and we almost lost him during the birth process. When he was in the nursery, the nurse was charting on the 20-odd babies born that night, when she heard a voice say, "Look up." She did, but didn't see anything unusual, so she went back to charting. Then the voice said, "Look at the Beck baby." She walked over to my son and he had already started turning purple and was not breathing. She was able to get help to him in time to save his life, but she couldn't figure out who it was that told her to check on him, since she was alone at the nurse station at the time.

The third event was when my daughter was 16. She developed a severe throat infection complicated by mononucleosis, and nothing the doctor tried was helping. This went on for five and a half months until one day I had had enough and decided to lay hands on her and pray a prayer of faith for her healing. She joined me in the prayer, and while we were praying she looked up and saw a man kneeling beside me with one hand on my shoulder and the other stretched to heaven, praying with us. When she blinked her eyes, he was gone, and that night she started recovering. Thank you, Lord, that I still have both of my children.

The lady driving the car said that she had suddenly slowed down, but wasn't sure why.

Someone's Watching Over My Family
I have had several experiences with guardian angels. The first was when I was 16 years old. I totaled my 1972 Pinto at 10:00 p.m. on a lonely stretch of highway coming home from my aunt's house. I had been at the beach all day, and I guess I just fell asleep at the wheel. I still don't remember all of the accident. After crashing into a culvert in a six-foot-deep ditch, my car bounced back onto the side of the road just as if I had merely pulled over. I remember "waking up" and knowing that I had to get help. The next thing I remember is being in the middle of the road (I knew this because there was a double yellow line between my feet). I started to scream because I saw headlights coming down the road. Then someone grabbed me from behind. The person who grabbed me was an older man who lived off of the road a-ways and who had heard my crash. The car I saw coming was a state policeman (who knew my mom because she worked at the courthouse) and a town cop (boyfriend to one of my friends). They radioed for an ambulance, and just a few seconds later an ambulance from the next county stopped by. They were on their way home from another run and agreed to take me, even though they were not supposed to. I got to the hospital in less than 20 minutes after the accident. I had split my entire forehead across; my skull was exposed. I had a severe concussion and bruises all over my chest and abdomen due to the steering wheel. My sisters, who were in the car with me, suffered from minor cuts and bruises. None of us were wearing seat belts. If not for an angel watching over me that night, I would have bled to death out there on that country road. I thank God every day for his help.

Many years later (in February, 1996), my youngest son, then just over two years old, ran out into the road from behind an illegally parked car near a handicapped ramp. I was coming down the ramp with a double stroller containing my twins, and he slipped by me. Before I could get to him, I saw him run out and a car hit him. He is small for his age, so that put the point of contact with his head hitting the bumper of the car. I felt like everything was in slow motion at that moment, but I saw the back "X" of his overalls lift up. Instead of going under the car, he whipped around and fell away from the car. His face was bruised and scraped, and he suffered from a mild concussion, but he went home from the ER later on that night. The lady driving the car said that she had suddenly slowed down, but wasn't sure why. She was still a block away from her turnoff. I know that an angel kept him from being killed that day.

The next time I saw an angel in action was in the summer of 2000. I had left a store with all six of my kids and was walking to our van. I did not know that one of the twins, then three years old, had stayed on the sidewalk because she was angry with me. When I turned around, I saw her start to run across the parking lot to me at the same time that a Jeep came speeding by. I screamed. At that moment, it was as if she hit an invisible wall. Her hands went up and her head turned to the side as she stopped. She missed the Jeep by only inches. The driver of the Jeep did not even see her and had no knowledge that she was almost hit. I think my family's guardian angels have been working overtime, but I thank the Lord that they are watching over us all the time.

All of a sudden, I felt someone take the palms of their hands and place them against the center of my back. As soon as I had this realization I felt the hands PUSH ME INTO THE GARAGE! And out I went!

Shoved from Harm by Unseen Hands
My guardian angel has helped me several times in ways that saved my life. Here is one of those incidents: I was by myself at work, as usual. I had just arrived to do some work in the interior of an empty home in a nice neighborhood. The garage door was open and my vehicle was parked halfway in. The door to the laundry room was the entrance into the home from the garage. I heard a knock at the laundry room door and went to see who was there. No one should have been knocking, that is for sure! I opened the door and there stood a clean, polite man in a business suit. He asked if Arnie was there. I said, "No, Ernie is not home. He moved." I thought it was strange that this man did not know the renter's correct name. Something kept telling me to STEP INTO THE GARAGE. And yet I kept telling myself that I should not step into the garage with a stranger. I thought the doorway of this home would be safer. I continued to disobey the repeated inner voice to STEP INTO THE GARAGE! Then, all of a sudden, I felt someone take the palms of their hands and place them against the center of my back. As soon as I had this realization I felt the hands PUSH ME INTO THE GARAGE! And out I went! The "businessman" suddenly decided to leave. I talked to Ernie a few days later and he had no idea who the man was. My guardian angel knew. I believe the man came there to physically hurt me and he needed to get inside to do it. His plans were foiled once my angel pushed me into the garage and within the sight and sound of any neighbors who might see us. The garage door was open. The garage was also 90 percent empty, which would allow my voice to carry if I had to scream. And I have learned to "listen" to the still, small voice. My safety that day came by being out in the open in view of the general public, rather than behind the door of a vacant house!

"I Should Have Been Dead"
I was driving to work one morning. I had to take my wife's car because my truck was needed at her work to move some furniture. I had to stop by the lumber yard to order some doors, so I went to work via a different route than I normally would have. After I left the lumber yard, I was driving on this street and passed through one intersection, and when I got to the second one it was a red light, so I started to slow down. There were some cars already there waiting for the change of the light, but the center lane was open. I looked over my shoulder and changed lanes so I could be the first one in that lane. As I approached the intersection, the Beatles were on the radio singing "Good Day Sunshine," and I thought it was going to be a nice day. As I arrived at the intersection the light turned green, so I downshifted and started to drive through. No sooner had I entered the intersection than I felt this warm feeling come over me. I also seemed to see a bright light that was kind of fuzzy or hazy. I wasn't afraid though; I actually felt very peaceful. I also noticed a vibration in the car. From that point on, I don't remember anything until after the accident.

The people that I passed as I entered the accident explained to me that as I passed them, a girl in a car had run her red light coming from my right side and pushed me through the intersection until I hit the curb on the opposite side and then the car flipped up sideways into the light standard that was on the corner. The whole side of my car was smashed in and the roof was caved in where the pole hit it just behind my head. I never wear seat belts and I would surmise after having seen the car that I should have been dead. I only knew I had been in an accident after it was over and I could see that there was no glass left in the vehicle and the roof was compressed down to my shoulders. I was helped out through a window opening by one of the people I passed as I drove through the intersection. I was so moved by that experience that I began doing some research on angels, and today I am certain that these beings exist and there is a very thin curtain between our world and theirs. Do angels exist? You bet they do!

The Healing and the Stranger
My wife Elaine and I married young. I was just 18 and she 19. Those first few years were tumultuous, as we meshed into the comforts of each other and the relationship grew into a marriage. After being married for 15 years, we had reached that point of nonchalance, or maybe it was that point of growing in different directions, and caring more for oneself than the pair. Elaine turned to another and fell in love. It's funny how that will awake you to reality, one that turns your world upside down. However, I learned from my mistakes, and prayed to God that I be given another chance. Let's just say that God did answer those prayers, and we started new. It wasn't easy, but it became a good marriage again. Now, I am not a religious zealot, but I do believe in the Great Architect of the Universe and have had too many prayers answered not to have faith. With this said, I am going to jump ahead to the story I meant to tell.

ANGEL WATCH
By Catherine Lanigan



A provoking and uplifting collection of real-life miracles, Lanigan's latest book reveals how unexplained synchronicity brings positive changes into people's lives. Angel Watch provides validation for those wondering if they are walking on their intended path, and a sense that everyone is an integral part of an interconnected universe.

It started with a trip to the beauty shop where Elaine had been going to Tina for eight years. Tina noticed a patch of skin, where there should be hair, on the back of Elaine's neck. When she came home, she asked me to look at it. It was the size of a quarter and innocent enough - just a small patch of smooth skin. We decided to make an appointment with our doctor just the same, because it was a little inflamed. We thought nothing much more of it. A biopsy was taken and we were told to come back in a week for the results. A week later, the doctor took another biopsy, claiming the first one was too small and the results were inconclusive. So another week passed, and this time the doctor's office called and suggested we both be present to discuss the results. We went together, hand in hand, to the office to hear words that anyone fears. Cancer was diagnosed, and he was passing us on to a specialist. The form of cancer she was diagnosed with was Cutanous T-Cell Lymphoma.

We went home with shockwaves pounding our souls. I went on a hunt to find out all I could about this form of cancer. I spent hours searching the Internet for information, and what I found wasn't too promising. It is a rare incurable cancer, and treatments proved to be ineffective at best. I shared the troubling news with Elaine, and all the visions of the worst cascaded over us. We went to the specialist, and it turned out he was the only one in the area who worked with this particular disease. He explained the details, reviewed the biopsies, consulted a partner and took another biopsy, and so the trips to Spokane began weekly. We spent that time numb, shell shocked, with the rug of life being pulled out from under our feet. Elaine turned to me, I held her, and all I could do was turn to God and pray, for it was out of my power to do anything else. So pray I did, constantly, asking for help, asking for a blessing, and we continued to go to the doctor.

More biopsies were taken, weeks turned to months... until one night, in our kitchen, I felt the need to lay my hands on the spot on Elaine's neck that was affected as I prayed. My hands felt the power as it coursed up my arms and filled my body with indescribable electricity. I knew something had happened, and I had to rely on my faith that it was what I had prayed for. The next week another biopsy was taken, and another week of waiting. Now, I need to share with you that I was riding my bike to work daily. I was on the road at 5 a.m. to get to work by 6:30. The roads were always vacant, and it was a pleasant way to stay in shape. On this morning's ride, I had more than enough to shout about. You see, the last biopsy came back clean - no trace of cancer, and I knew that my prayers had been answered! Needless to say, the joy was being shouted from the soul as I rode that morning.

I was peddling along on this desolate road, lost in my own thoughts when I heard a "hello." That "hello" almost gave me a heart attack. I mean, I was alone on a bike, riding on a deserted highway. I turned my head to see a stranger riding next to me. There is no way for me to describe exactly what made him seem different; it was everything and nothing. He wore a helmet on top of a stocking cap, sweat pants, and had a short gray beard, and was riding a Huffy. I ride a hand-built custom bike, and I usually look down my nose at a Huffy, but at this moment all I could think of was that God would ride a Huffy, because he wouldn't care about prestige or anything else. It didn't matter what he rode at all. Strange thought to have at that moment, but it was there. He passed me, and for a while I was behind him. I thought his riding was effortless. He seemed to be peddling much easier than I, but there he was ahead of me. We started to climb a hill, with him in my lead, when the thought that I was now following God filled my mind, and I swear I saw a golden cross of flames on his windbreaker. As we climbed, I slowly caught up to him, closer and closer, until at the apex of the hill we were side by side. Now, if you knew my route, you would know I turn off on the dirt road there and cut off traversing a dangerous bridge before winding up on the highway and the last part of my commute. I was going to say, "It's time for me to take a different path," to him, even though we had only shared that first "hello," when I knew that wasn't the right thing to say. Instead, I just said, "See ya," and made my turn, leaving him to go on down the road.

As I traveled down the dirt, I was singing at the top of my lungs. There was no one to hear me, and think me the fool, my heart was overjoyed and over full, and singing was the only way to release it. (Not that anyone would find my singing pleasant to hear). I made my turns and rode my cutoff until I exited back to the road and started the last mile to the final turn to the office. I was riding along, lost again in the moments and thoughts, when I heard, "You beat me." The stranger on the Huffy was back along side me. It was then I decided to introduce myself and we exchanged names. His was Michael, and he told me he rode this ride every day. I kept it to myself that I had lived and rode this ride for a number of years, and I had never seen him. I just let it go with a smile, and told him it was my pleasure to meet him. Then it was time to turn off to the office parking lot and let him continue on his journey. I have never seen him again, but on investigating the name Michael, I did discover he is God's messenger, his Archangel, and to this day, I know who I rode with and how blessed I am.
