Nicole and I were married ten years ago today. What a journey it has and continues to be. My gratitude for her and us expands day by day.
All the way back on 2016 we tied the knot in Canada, with family present, and then in October of that year we flew to the UK to have a celebration there.
In the days and weeks leading up to our wedding, we had some surprise guests showing up at our house daily. There would be mornings when I would open the door to find a pair of peacocks perched on our fence just a few feet from the door — a great wake-up call on most mornings. They proceeded to drop their feathers off on our doorstep, so we had quite a collection forming by the day of our wedding. We took this as a gift for our wedding from the peacocks, and as the day approached, we shared a little bit about these peacocks with others.
What's interesting is that on the day of our wedding here in Canada, September 9th, it was at exactly the cusp of the 64th Gene Key, Line 6, and the 47th Gene Key, Line 1. Now, the bird of the 64th Gene Key, Line 6, is the peacock — and so I found that just a little too relevant, not to mention that Jupiter and the North Node were also hanging around that Gene Key at the time.
Fast forward four weeks later, and we were in the UK. We had our celebration at no place other than Bristol Zoo, surrounded by many kinds of animals — and I'm not just talking about family here.
What blew us away and surprised us, because we had no part in its conception, was the wedding cake. My extremely talented aunt created a cake full of creatures. Now, because we were doing it at the zoo, this was possibly the reason why — but the creatures she happened to fill it with have real Dream Arc connections for both myself and Nicole. For instance, we both have the 4th Gene Key in our profile, and the Life Key of the 4th Gene Key is the monkey — which you can see too on here. It was also not known to my aunt at that time (and maybe still isn't) that our nickname for each other is "Monkey."
So I look back ten years and reflect on this — having played a key role in bringing forth the Dream Arc over these last couple of years, and seeing that these Dream Arc seeds were planted way back in 2016. At that time, I had heard whispers of the dream art, but I didn't know of any firm connections between the creatures, and I definitely hadn't passed that on to my aunt for the making of any cake.
But to me, it just shows that those animals are all around us, supporting us. And as Steve Jobs once said, we can look back in time and see all the dots that were leading us to where we are now.
So as we step forward into these next ten years of our marriage, I can only wonder what there is to come. We've been through some real challenges together. We've grown together, and we're co-creating a life that we're very happy about. It continues to be evolving, even amidst the challenges of our world today.
So I am thankful for my wonderful wife, for the many years we've had together, and the many still to come.
This guidance from the Peacock is something I take deep into my life...
"Mine is the higher path. Noble and profound though suffering is, eventually it leads to its own transcendence. Your species is heading away from the path of suffering now. Are you ready to lead your people onto this new path? How far can you stretch the dream of your heart? Doubtless you will be resisted by many, and perhaps you too will even be persecuted. But these will be trifles to you – you who have embraced the path of illumination." - Peacock
And as we were wedded in the hour that it changed from 64.6 to 47.1, I am now considering the Sage Lines of both.
64.6 - Self Illumination - The retrieval of archaic memory and our resulting dissolution into the inner light.
47.1 - Inferno - Deliberate and predestined shadow work resulting in the birth of great inner light
Yeah, it has been a little bit of both :)
