questioning everything even the number 144

Why is it good to question everything and why people don't ask enough questions?

We have been trained ever since birth to not question our elders, police, doctors and so on. We are led to believe that these people are never dishonest. Why? because they have a title? Why should we have blind trust for someone we just met, because of a job title. Does the title Boss mean this person (your Boss) will never lie to you. Does the title teacher mean this person will never molest your child. There are so many things we take for granted in life, but the truth is we should never take anything for granted. I know this sounds cynical but blindly trusting someone because they have the title teacher or police officer is wrong. Sooner or later your going to run into someone who dose not live up to their title or worse.
I had a teacher that used to tell me that I asked too many questions. As I go on in life the one thing I am sure of is, "you can never ask too many questions." Not just about people either. I think that instead of blind trust, a temporary "this is what I know to be true for the moment" or "For now I will trust what I see," or "for now I will trust this person."
Our eyes and other senses can lie to us also. I have seen a desert mirage that looks like a lake and have eaten apples that taste like grapes. So when I say I see the number 44 or 144 I am not just questioning why but also how and where. I have noted that sense I have started recording when and where, the numbers have not been showing up with the same intensity. I suppose it would be a little bit like watching a pot boil, or it could be just in between events.
So that is it for today think good thoughts and have a great day.

Can we talk to God with out being carzy?

A thought occurred to me. Why can't we talk directly with the creator (God)?

I remember this same question being posed to a very wise man. The answer that was given was very interesting. The wise man asked "have you ever tried explain yourself to a cockroach ? You see it is all a matter of perspective.

Lets say I could see the future. Most would say I was crazy but if I could it would not be because of magic or some other mystical thing. let me give you an example ; 3 people standing on the street all three several blocks apart from one another . Each person is on the same plane of existence and cannot see what is about to happen to the other . But what if you took the man in the middle and placed him on top of a skyscraper . The man in the middle from his vantage point could quite easily see what was about to happen to the other two . The man in the middle might see a car driving out of control and about to hit the other two . But this would not make him a psychic or special in any way other than a higher vantage point from which to see how things were happening . so back to the first question, if God tried to talk to you would you listen much less understand what he had to say?

This is not to suggest anything other than I found it interesting. The ego sometimes likes to play with the mind. Not sure but I think Eckhart Tolle talks about how the ego does things like this in his new book "A new earth" Or maybe I should read something more down to earth for a while? P.S.saw the number 144 yesterday two times. To all my readers have a nice day.

It still amazes me that in this day and age people still can be blind as a door nail. You talk about seeing something odd such as the number 144 or 44 and your considered nuts or postal. If I told you i saw a man float in mid air would I get the same thing? If I told you it was someone doing street magic would I be crazy? If I told you I met someone who could taste spoken words, would you consider me crazy or would you just be ignorant? Do you trust everything you see, taste, hear, feel and smell ? If you do I feel sorry for you, as you are only seeing part of the real world. hELL did I just write hell or did I write 7734 upside down. The truth [if there is one] is in how you look at it. So the final question is do you view the world as full of spiteful evil people or do you think the world is full of helpful good people? It's your choice, it's your reality. P.S. Saw the number 44 a lot last week still not sure what to make of it, but as my wife would say "It's all good"

First let me say that no-one should take anything serious about this blog. It is a search for knowledge. Why we see what we see and if what we see is real and can be trusted? I watched a show last night it had a blind painter on it. His paintings were amazing and the question that was raised was do we see with our eyes or do we see with our mind? science has not answered that one yet.
I have not seen the number 44 a lot lately and so there is not much to report. I wonder if it could be like Synaesthesia? Were you taste color or words or see words as they are spoken?

If anyone wishes to email me please be patient as this is not an obsession and I don't always check my email everyday. I will try to respond to comments if I have time.
As for the number 44 or 144 there are times I don't see the number for a week or two and then I will see it several times in one day. And then I see it for several days. I try not to obsess about it as I do not want it to be a subconscious thing that I am looking for. I have decided to start keeping a log of these events in order to find out if it is random. There are a lot of skeptics out there, from religious to medical and scientific. One suggestion is that we see the number, then attach some importance to it and then subconsciously start looking for it. Which may have some validity as one day I saw it on my watch 8 different times. I don't normally look at my watch but people would ask me what time it was or I would look to see if it was break time. I wonder what the odds are for looking at your watch 8 times and each time seeing the number 44 and no other number.
I have had psychics try to tell me that it means something about a coming misfortune or that it was my lucky number but I don't give much credence to them. I am an artist at heart and I tend to notice things that most people don't even see. I have been reading books like "What the bleep do we know" and "a new earth" which may have something to do with it. I have started noticing more things than usual. I had one lady say that I was looking for attention or to be special. The thing of it is I have no need or want for attention much less thought of as a nut.
I just want to know why this number is showing up. Is it like the moth man prophecy or some message from space. Maybe one of NASA's messages got to an other world and this is the answer back.
At this point all I can suggest is that someone or something is trying to get our attention. I would not try to read into it something that is not there. For all we know it's our subconscious trying to play tricks on us. Don't let it get to you and don't get paranoid. So far nothing bad has happened and as a matter of fact my life has been better than normal. Take it one day at a time and eventually we will find and answer. (Note) I have tried to deliberately look for an other number such as 23 or 12 but it does not work the same. The numbers don't show up the same way?? if at all. If anyone has any ideas on how we can run a double blind test let me know. We may not know what this is but maybe we can eliminate some possibilities.

44 the awakening

There are times that I see this number often, as if to say wake up and pay attention. I have tried to work out all the possibilities but do not seem to be able to make the connection. 144 being a gross and used in the bible as a base unit of measurement. The 44 representing the four corners of the earth, but nothing has struck a cord. Is it possible I am not asking the right question? If I was an alien and wanted to send a message to earth how would I do it and what would I say? Or maybe if I were from the future and wanted to send a message to the past? Is it a message at all, maybe it is just part of a greater awakening and we need to just go with it and pay attention? I work in a warehouse all day long and see thousands of numbers, but very rarely do I see 144 or 44. I only seem to see the number 44 at home or away from work. I will pick a number to wait in line and it will be 144 or I will go shopping and at the check out I will have 44 items or the receipt will be 144. I have had days were the number will show up 10 or 15 times in an hour, I wonder what the odds are???

144 44 More to seeing these numbers than meets the eye .

I haven't paid much attention to my blog as of late. Then I noticed all the wonderful comments about the number 44 . In one sense it's nice to know that I'm not the only one . That I am not losing my mind. In another sense it is kind of scary to think how many people out there are seeing what we're seeing. How many people are out there, but who are too afraid to say anything.
I feel like I'm in the movie "Close encounters of a third kind" sculpting mash potatoes trying to figure out what the message means . At times the numbers show up with more frequency than at other times . The number 44 seems to be the dominant number with 144 showing up from time to time . I think at times it may be leading up to an event. Sastring maybe right about our 44th president, hope that it's not a bad omen as we will be electing this new president in the coming year.
I don't think that the number is a sign of bad things to come , as I have had good things happen after seeing the number 44. I think it's a little bit like a flashing warning light to let us know that something is about to happen that we should pay attention to, or that we are on the right path like a trail marker. In the new book "A New Earth " by Eckhart Tolle talks about a coming event, an evolution if you will of mankind . The last such leap took place when mankind became predominantly right handed and at the same time started developing new skills in making tools and in communication . Those that were left handed seem to have disappeared for some unknown reason. A mental evolution which mankind may still be undergoing.
Or the little green guys are sending messages into our heads to meet them somewhere ( LOL ). What is even more funny is the realization that this number did not just recently start showing up. In looking through my old records I found that the number has been showing up for years. In old report cards from when I was in grade school, to old addresses and phone numbers. It is possible that for one reason or another that we are simply looking for the number . As a result we see it more often and thus place some importance to this number 44 .
If there is a lot of people out there seeing this number then I would say that there may be a significant event coming.
