In numerology, each year is represented by a universal number, which comes from the sum of individual digits. This number defines the energy, which will mostly be present throughout the year and which will be the main theme of collective lessons.
2024 is a year of number 8 (2+0+2+4=8). Number 8 is a symbol of infinite sacred circles: sunset-sunrise, death-birth, cause-consequence... karma. This means that in 2024 dominant karmic energy will immerse people into living consequences of decisions they made in the past. It may bring a joyful and rewarding experience, or a very challenging one. Do not be afraid of this. Karma is neither reward nor punishment. It's a learning process to teach us how to live in harmony with the world. How to take responsibility for our choices and how to be accountable for our life.
2024 will also be a year of deep work on ego. Generally, ego is not bad. It's a natural mechanism which allows us to survive and feel individuality. However, very often our ego is unbalanced which leads to the states of suffer.
The vices of ego will be uncovered this year so that people may feel surges of pride, envy, arrogance, judgement, conceit, contempt. State of victim is also one of ego's manifestations. People will be put in situations where they will face different sides of their ego again and again until the lesson is learned. And the lesson here is to get rid of the illusion of separateness. There is no one higher or lower than us, more or less valuable. Each person has its unique value as a part of unity, which we truly are. The path to the consciousness of unity is a path of evolution.
Working with ego is a process of constant deep self-work, correction of consciousness, inner control.
Here are several advices on how to work with manifestations of ego:
- Daily analyse your emotions and reactions. The best way is to track them by writing down;
- Acknowledge situations, in which your ego manifested itself;
- Don't blame yourself for it;
- Define the real name of emotion you went through (for example, jealousy and envy can stand behind anger);
- Try to understand why you felt this emotion in certain situation. What trauma you may had had in the past, which caused distorted reaction of your ego?
- Immerse yourself into the root cause situation and send yourself love.
99% of all distorted ego reactions are caused by the lack of love. Give it to yourself. Get back to situations when you were hurt and give yourself love you missed.
Remember to continue this regularly so that you create a habit to "mind well" your reactions, emotions and thoughts.
I wish you go easily through all the learnings the year 2024 would bring and enjoy the very rewarding state of your new self.
With love,
Anna
