The Lights of Christ

Back in my early 20’s I had an interesting experience that I want to share.
I was living at home, and my car at the time was a white Buick. One night while sleeping I had a strange dream. In the dream a phone rang and I answered it. A woman’s voice said, “I have just seen the lights of Christ!” And I’m like, “Huh? Er, I think you have the wrong number.” I hung up in the dream but she called back and said, “I have just seen the lights of Christ!” Insistent little bugger. I said back, “Um, maybe you meant to call someone else. I have no idea what you’re talking about.” She said, “No, I called the right person.” And hung up.
Next thing I know, I’m waking up to hear my real phone ringing. That got my adrenaline pumping. The clock read 1:37. I picked it up and my dad picked up the line in his room. A man said, “Hello, this is your security patrol. We were cruising around your house a few minutes ago and everything was fine, but then we made another pass and we noticed the lights on your Buick parked out front are on. You might want to come out and turn those off.” Weird. So my dad said, “It’s your car, you go turn them off.” I pleaded with him to do it because I didn’t want to go outside in the dark (total scaredy cat) but he insisted.
I put on my slippers and a robe, grabbed my keys, and headed outside. The security patrol waved to me and took off. I couldn’t figure out how the headlights of my car went on all by themselves. But I slipped into the locked vehicle and turned them off (the high beams were even on!). I locked the door and went back to sleep.
The next morning I got in my car and turned it on. Whoa! Every single electronic thing in the car had been turned on! The windshield wipers started going, the radio was turned up to its loudest level, and the air-conditioning knob was turned to full blast. Scared me half to death. I sat in the car trying to figure out how on earth this had happened. I still don’t know to this day.
Lights of Christ indeed…

Erin, your blog is one of the few that I enjoy reading every one article of it. Thanks for the great work!

Ah, the kids!

Or may be a thief?????????
July 22nd, 2006 at 6:16 am
I didn’t have kids at that age.
I don’t think it was a thief. Why would someone break into my car and not steal it?
My dad and I were the only ones with keys. And in order to get into this car there was a really funky mechanism for opening the door that even Triple A said was a problem to open with their tools.
Just a big old mystery.

I think you had one article where you mentioned 3 of your clocks stopped at 1:37? I was wondering if there’s any significance to that number?
Can’t wait to hear more of your stories, Erin!

Jenny, yes! You noticed! 1:37 and 9:41 are significant times in my “world.” I’m not really sure why those times are significant for me, but throughout my teen years, those were the two “magic minutes” where stuff happened for me. If anyone out there has an idea on why, I’d love to hear it.

Hi Erin,
My son has very strange electrical things happen with him. It’s gotten better as he’s gotten older, but for a long time, he couldn’t keep a watch. They would run backward, a hand or two would drop off, they would go two minutes forward then three back, and other strange things. Other strange electrical things happen with him too, but they were the strongest during the times he had a very close relationship with his first girlfriend, who was most likely an Indigo Child. She could see auras, fairies, communicated with spirits, and so on.
It sounds like you had a visitor…maybe someone (or thing?) is trying to tell you something and had no other way to get your attention. I remember that, in your post about the “haunted house” you said that there are now limited ways to measure the presence of spirits, didn’t you say by detecting energy? All of these things that were turned on in your car are run by electricity (energy). Maybe the mere presence of a high-energy visitor could trigger these instruments. Or maybe it was just done intentionally to get your attention. Well, it’s at least food for thought.
I have a good friend who puts a lot of trust in numerology. So far, it’s been acurate and very good for her, but she has a good practitioner–here’s a link with some basic information (you have to scroll down a lot): http://www.answers.com/numerology
Apologies if you already know about all this.
With love,
Joanna

Is it possible, with something like this, to ask your current spirit guides what happened? Same with the times 1:37 and 9:41 being significant times in your life. The guides seem to know the answers to so many things, I was just wondering if you asked them about these.
On a side note, 4:21 is a biggie for me. Weird.

Hate to be cynical but sounds to me like a story about the poor quality of GM products.

Seems to me that God is calling you. God uses these little miracles to draw us closer to Him. God bless you.

1:37 is your recurring number? Weird. Mine is 11:37, and also 12:34 and 11:11. Wonder what the 11:37 and the 1:37 mean? One thing I associate the 37 with is that’s my son’s birthday, March 7th.
August 9th, 2006 at 2:46 am
Laura, you have quite a number of digits there and if you now allow some freedom in combining them, I would think it isn’t that hard to come up with a birthday of a person close to you. That’s not to say those are not indeed “special numbers” for you - they could very well be - I’d just like to point out the “addiction” of the human mind to any kind of patterns (ever seen the movie “A Beautiful Mind”?). It can see patterns in almost _everything_, sometimes by heavily filtering what it sees of the world in regards of what could be proof or disproof of a certain pattern. For example: When I started with driving school, I would suddenly notice driving schools everywhere, that I had never been aware of before. Interesting, huh?
Erins occurences of 1:37 are pretty impressive though. I guess there were not a bunch of other times where clocks stopped and car lights were turned on at other times, so there really seems to be some kind of connection here. What 1:37 could mean? Obvious: 1 3 7 are the first three prime numbers .. er.. except that 1 is not a prime number and 2 and 5 are missing.. ah well, you see the pattern, right? Hehe, just fooling around
Excellent blog Erin! Keep up the good work.

You could of had a bugged up electrical system in that case. In my car, occassionally your hear this tick tock sound that goes on for some indefinate time. And if you leave the car off you notice that the lights for spedometer and such turn on and off with the same timing as the ticking. But if the car is explictily turned on, then the tick tock doesn’t effect the lighting system at all. It’s one of those wierd, harmless bugs that would be too much of a needle in a haystack to fix.

The “significant times” mentioned above, 1:37 and 9:41, rang a few bells for me.
The number 137 is associated with the fine structure constant.
Excerpts:

The number 137 is also associated with ancient Mysticism.

Unfortunately, the excerpts did not appear in my previous posting. Here they are in a different format:
The fine-structure constant is said to be the “coupling constant” or measure of the strength of the electromagnetic force that governs how electrically charged elementary particles (e.g., electron, muon) and light (photons) interact. Some say it represents the probability that an electron will emit or absorb a photon.
It’s one of the greatest damn mysteries of physics: a magic number that comes to us with no understanding by man. You might say the “hand of God” wrote that number, and “we don’t know how He pushed his pencil.” [R.P. Feynman]
Debbie said “Qabalah” is correctly spelt with a “Q,” (rather than with a “K”) and is a Hebrew word meaning “to receive” (i.e. knowledge). Greek Gematria gives the word the number 137. (spelt backwards - HLBQ - H=5, L=30, B=2, Q=100). The Hebrew word for “wheel” also adds to 137.
The best explanation of the mystery ever given to Victor Weisskopf, another leading theorist from that time, was provided by Gershom Scholem, one of the most eminent scholars of Jewish mysticism. When Scholem met Weisskopf, he asked about the prominent unsolved problems in physics. Weisskopf said, “Well, there’s this number, 137….” And Scholem’s eyes lit up! He said, “Did you know that one hundred thirty-seven is the number associated with the Cabala?”

In my dream-coincidence quest, I have sometimes found that significant numbers seem to be encoded in some special way. One method is to turn the times into minutes or seconds.
Figuring for 1:37 and 9:41 -
1 x 60 + 37 = 97 minutes
9 x 60 + 41 = 581 minutes
A significant number is revealed by subtracting the smaller from the larger:
581 - 97 = 484
Other ways to derive 484 include:
484 = 22 squared
484 = (11 + 11) squared
Ten times this number, 4840, is one acre in square yards
http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=acre
One fourth of 484 is, of course, 121, which is 11 x 11. This seems to be related to the 11:11 coincidences that are so often reported. See:

When I made the minutes calculations above, the key number, 484, stood out for me, because I ran across it last year in a way that seemed quite significant.
Excerpt:
The 7 July 2005 Terrorist Attacks in London
[skip]
“Coincidentally,” I wrote an e-mail to Michael on 5 July 2005, in which I mentioned the number 484, in reference to the Hundred Acres formation. It turns out that the terrorist attacks in London on 7 July 2005 happened 484 (inclusive) days after the attacks in Madrid on 3-11-2004.
After the Madrid attacks it was reported that the days between (non-inclusive) those attacks and the 11 September 2001 attacks came to a “coincidental” 911 days.
[skip]
If one “reduces” the year 2005 to 7, then we have a 7-7-7. That has yet another coincidental connection to crop circles and the 9-11 attacks. Up to 11 September 2001, 777 NYC firemen were killed in the line of duty. On that day, 343 were killed, which is 7 x 7 x 7. See:
http://www.greatdreams.com/Events/9_11_01/Amertrag.htm
[End of excerpt]
http://www.greatdreams.com/crop/2005ccs/2005ccs4.htm
The number 484 is also said to be associated with the Great Pyramid at Giza:
Excerpt:
Modern scientific investigations have shown, with the exception of the comparatively small space occupied by the passages and chambers, the Great Pyramid is a solid mass of stone blocks having a square base and four tapering sides that rise 454 and a half feet to a small platform on top. Its original designed height is 484 feet, equal to a modern 48 story skyscraper.

Hi Erin,
I was just reading this post and all of the replies and I study numerology a bit myself and wanted to offer a little something to the community and you about another possible significance to the time 1:37 and 9:41 time factor.
In numerology the way that we would identify these numbers is like this:
1+3+7=11 then:
9+4+1=14 then:
1+1=2 then:
1+4=5 then:
5+2= 7
So the magic number in this case for you would be 7. Perfectly enough the number seven is the number of the Universe It is the three of the heavens (soul) combined with the four (body) of the earth; being the first number containing both the spiritual and the temporal. Seven represents the virginity of the Great Mother - feminine archetype - She who creates.
Seven happens to be my lucky number and one of my name numbers
It is a number that comes up often for clairvoyant people as well.

Hello Erin & everbody,
I’m fasinated by all these numbers, myself i must experience at least twice a day some of the following numbers: 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55 as well as and most frequently the numbers 1:11 and 11:11 & 11:17… and 888 on a liscence plate once… I have no clue as to the meaning or significance of these occurances. Maybe some one has some ideas they’d like to share…?
I also quite frequently will have certain experiences that are a little on the strange side (to many and to much information to post here). one example was just before the 9-11 attacks i kept having a reoccuring thought something about stopping the world for a day. this thought wasn’t generated by me it was a different kind of thought. Then the attacks happened and Then later i would see news or documentaries titled “the day the world stopped”.
So far my favorite experience was, I was sitting here at the computer and got off into a really different state of wondering if i should persue a project involving CD’s, this went on for maybe 15-20 minutes. It was like being in some sort of focused zone, upon exiting this “state of mind” i had to use the bathroom, the bathroom is by my front door in my Apt. out of the corner of my eye i notice something shoved under the door (it’s like 3:00 in the morning) to my suprise and much confusion it’s a CD (it’s not playable as it is all scratched up, with no case) Titled: Guns and roses “use your illusion”… I’m still scratching my head…
I also had a lucid dream that the message was quite clear “sort of” the people in my dream stated “you have very special gifts, KEEP DREAMING” but the dream had to do with telekenisis (moving objects with your mind). As soon as i started asking questions on how… I woke up… ;c(
These kinds of thing happens ALOT, when i’m paying attention.
I do have they very distinct feeling someone or something is trying to communicate with me. The purpose I do know know yet…
Well thanks for listening, I hope you find your truths that you seek.
To Erin and Steve… I love your work!!!
