First, I would like to discuss the numeral 4, as it is the Lesson number. Numerology is something that interests a few and is disregarded by others. I personally think that it is easily understood and precise.

To begin, the fourth month of the year is April. Aries is the horoscope sign and considered the first symbol of the year. The Ram is depicted as the ruling animal. (4) Man is upright carrying the Divine principle, considered to be sacred, as is the number(7)seven.

(4)- Is composed of straight lines only - is the number of reason, tangible achievement and symbolizes the earth and human situation. Sets of four are seen in many arrangements...4 sides of man's nature, physical, mental, psychically and spiritually. Also the four elements - fire, earth, air and water...four beast in Ezekiel...Four horses depicted in revelations and the four "Fixed" signs of the Zodiac.

(7) - Indicates fallen man upheld by I AM, higher and lower selves - the perfect stage of spiritual completion and the beginning and ending of a cycle. Seven delivers victory, finish, perfection, recognition and withdrawal. Cancer is the ruling astrological sign of seven.

Adding the two numbers equals (11) eleven. Mastery on the physical. Since it is a double digit you add together and it equals (2) two. The semi-circle is above the horizon line, fallen man with the soul above him. It stands for the soul,the unconscious mind, the feminine "Moon", the law of duality...reflection, conflict, for nature in opposition to the Creator...also imagination, artistry, romance and to all qualities that are more mental than physical. Duality of manifestation...one becoming two...Spirit AND Matter. Also it is the 11th month - Scorpio, the scorpion.

This is where the "test of patience" begins...all qualities in the "eleventh hour" are more mental than physical. The manifestation of One becoming Two..Spirit and Matter combined. The artist thrives in this situation...a new subject might be more interesting than the present subject...I do not consider this procrastinating by any means...It is a time of transforming spirit to matter!!

The Eleventh Hour is upon me. As is "The check is in the mail". I have no control of the mail. I do have control of turning spirit to matter while waiting..I am a taurus, incidentally, a stubborn, bull in a china shop at times...however, I am turning my latest idea into a reality while I finish painting portrait. 1 hour past eleventh and the test of patience should put everything back into perspective!

Patience is also a virtue! I hope this helps some of you....I do know that God's plan cannot be changed. He has his reasons, and I will never question his authority.

Ps. I hope God enjoys this post as well!
