My encounter with the meaning of the number 444
In Japan, the number "4" represents "death".
In japanese, "4" is pronounced "shi" and as the sound "shi" resembles a Chinese character ("kanji" in japanese) "死" , this number has been considered to have bad karma.
Just like in north american culture we don't have level 13 on buildings, well, in Japan we don't have level 4 and level 9 in buildings for such superstitious reasons.
( 9 is pronounced "kyu", aka "ku", and the sound resembles a kanji "苦", meaning "suffering")
Thanks to a very special book I have encountered, this number 4 has now a completely different meaning.
Here's the story...
About 4 years ago when my oldest was 7 years old and my lil' one just 2, my husband left to work abroad to Los Angeles for an entire year.
Being a strong, open-minded and positive girl as I am, I could not have been more supportive and encouraged the fact that he had this great opportunity to work in the heart of one of the amazing cities for the film industry. I sent him off with pride, happiness and with the mindset simple positivity.
Back at home, I was busy.
Busy being a mom, a self-employed artist who have just started back in the industry.... my everyday was filled with things to do. I missed my husband terribly, but I didn't have time to dwell on that emotion on my day to day basis. I actually felt bad for him, for not having his kids around. I felt lucky to have them keeping me going.
About 3-4 months into this journey, I was starting to feel overwhelmed by the responsibilities of keeping everything "good". I truly felt what a single parent goes through without any break from all the chores and workload.
I was starting to feel...worried and scared.
This is when I started to notice the number 444.
At first my thought was..."great! death, death death!"
What the hell does that mean???
Then when I was least expecting it, it would appear at very odd places....and many times in the day...
- Johnson and Johnson's babywash is 444ml (did you know!?)
- license plate on the car in front of mine while driving
- wake up unexpectedly at 4:44am
- glance at the clock in the afternoon and happens to be 4:44pm
- purchase items at a store and the bill is $4.44
After a good few days of this, I was FREAKING OUT!!!
Heart started to palpitate
Getting cold sweat
Panting...
clearly, you can imagine, I was not happy!
After telling this story to my mum, she insisted we go to our angel store on Rachel East called "Ange Neige".
As I entered the store, not sure what to look for, I felt guided to move towards my right where the books and cards were displayed...
And I almost fainted!!!
Out there amongst many large books, was this lil' tiny book...so small and yet it was the only book that stood out for me...
Angel Numbers 101
The Meaning of 111, 123, 444
and other number sequences
I froze
Again, heart palpitation, cold sweat and all...I was scared and yet excited to finally get the answer I was looking for!
I mean, it's from an angel store, it can't be bad...right?!
I dashed to the cash register, panting, and immediately paid for the book all while telling the store owner my story, in a nutshell.
"Well, go ahead then! Read it!", says the owner to me.
I rushed to the page.
My fingers trembling.
It read...
444
There are angels - they're everywhere around you!
You are completely loved, supported, and guided by
many heavenly beings, and you have
nothing to fear!
SAY WHAAAAAA!?!?!?!?!
Smiling from ear to ear, I could not believe what I was reading!
All that tension, the fear, the aches and pain in my heart, overwhelms, everything just lifted off of my shoulder and felt a sudden sense of relief...
I was protected.
With this guidance and knowledge, I went through the year with the absence of my husband without any fear or worry. Every time I felt such things, the number appeared out of nowhere, letting me know that I had nothing to worry.
And now, surprisingly...
Since he's been back, the number 444 no longer appears in front of me.
It will appear once in a blue moon, when I am in a state of "worry" or "fear" wether for work, when my kids are sick etc.
Knowing that the angels and spiritual beings are out there protecting me and reassuring me, I feel safe.
Many may not understand or comprehend that there are beings out there that no naked eye can see or feel...
However, I truly believe it does exist. I cannot explain why...it was something I had in me since little and something I never felt the need to question.
This world is a very special place, and I believe there is so much to grasp and comprehend.
A lil' spiritual side of me that I am starting to reveal :)
It is only meant for sharing, in hopes to reach out, attract those with similar senses, and to give a smile to those who wants to learn more :)
