Why Sunday, you ask? Well, it’s all about numerology, or the use of numbers to interpret a person’s character or to divine the future. Sunday, or 9/9/2007, is a special day in that when you add up each of the components, you get 9-9-9, which creates a powerful and rare universal vibe or frequency that will allow humanity to make a quantum leap, said the event’s sponsor, Coral, a “multifaceted healer, psychic and analyzer,” who uses the energies of the universe to take away one’s pain and reach into their soul.
“I want the festival to be not just fun and pleasurable,” Coral, who speaks only Hebrew, said through an interpreter Wednesday. “I want it to be a big step for all spiritual people who are concerned about the violence in the world and one’s own internal struggles.”
The festival, which will take place on and around the pier from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., is free to the public and will feature over 60 booths offering psychic and healing treatments, as well as demonstrations on laughter yoga, Chakra breathing, and spiritual belly dancing.
According to numerology, each number holds an immense amount of energy, potential, character, influence and opportunity. Each number has its own beat, its own vibe, which responds differently to the other numbers, Coral said.
Each number creates a special numerical draw. These numbers’ internal frequencies are the ones that affect all life forms and create the behavioral pattern of stimulation and response.
The number 9 is so important because it offers a heightened spirituality. The wholeness of number 9 can be seen everywhere in nature. There are 9 planets that circle the sun. An average human being inhales and exhales 18 times a minute (18 divided by 2 equals 9). The heart beats on average 4,320 times an hour (2 plus 3 plus 4 equals 9). In a circle there are 360 degrees (3 plus 6 equals 9) and the first four digits of the mathematical constant known as “pi” are 3.141 (3 plus 1 plus 4 plus 1 equals 9).
Coral says the number 9 also has the shape of a fetus and after 9 months of pregnancy, a baby is born and enters a new phase of their spiritual journey.
“In the numerical combination of 999, each one of the 9’s creates a special pattern of stimulation and response with the other, and the three of them together create a powerful and eternal energy frequency, a vibe that will allow humanity to open a completely new and different circle, which will last 9 years as well,” Coral said.
“This powerful and strong frequency will create a total and complete change in human consciousness: Even those who are “asleep” and “unaware” will wake up to a new frequency — meaning a wider and much more developed collective consciousness.”
The Santa Monica Pier is the perfect location for the event because of its close proximity to the ocean, which will have a cleansing effect on all those who participate, helping them to wash away their pain and bad thoughts, Coral said.
“It is very important to cleanse ourselves and our soul from the unwanted pains of life,” Coral said. “If we don’t, we are blocking ourselves.”
