Dearest Jeff:
Before I respond to your question, I feel a very strong need to re-mind you that each and every being has a unique connection to The Divine and is communicated to in whatever ways that best suit their growth and development at the time a message is given. I am as connected as you are, but how we both understand our connection may be different. It’s really about intimacy; and there is no greater authority on your connection to God than you!
Whatever the numbers 911, 1111, or 333 etc. mean to you, know that the exact same numeric sequence (s) can mean something completely different to another. Also know, that whatever meaning you assign to a symbol can change from one moment to the next as another, more significant meaning, takes it’s place.
That being said, there is something else that came up for me while reading your letter that I would like to respond to and that is the issue of "doubt".
Doubt is an energetic distortion mechanism. When we get a message from the non-physical that we don’t understand, and there is NEVER a message given that we don’t understand, and we go into doubt mode, it’s kind of like getting clarity from the heavens and then giving back some garbage in return. God sends messages to us, and rather than acknowledging that we’ve been spoken to, we reply by saying " huh or what"?
The lesson here is be mindful of how you respond to The Divine. A doubt response will slow you down incredibly! It will delay you from reaching where you are meant to go.
Next time you’re given a message that you’re not clear on consciously, rather than go into doubt and spend time worrying about whether or not you are getting it, develop the ability to say " Okay, I know I’m being spoken to. I don’t know what it means but when I need to know the answer will be there". And, Jeff, you take that position or attitude because you know deep inside that so long as you have your connection to God THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT! Any other thought that comes into your mind that is contradictory to that belief, you recognize and say "No thank you".
You don’t align yourself to thoughts of worry. You align yourself to faith! And the more you do that, the stronger and clearer you will get!
Feeling doubt is normal. Do it over and over again and it becomes a habit. Repeating a habit becomes a pattern. Patterns are hard to break. And yet, to get to know God to the best of your ability, you need to be free of patterns as best as possible. Because God did not create those, you did. Your job is to recognize and neutralize them so that as soon as you get instruction from the heavens, you act on it without hesitation or delay. That’s why you’re here.
Take care, Jeff. And if there is anything else I can do to escort you on your journey, please let me know.
Joseph
