This will be a long one as I need to start at the beginning
In October of 2003 I had a dream which inspired me to change the use of my name. On the surface this dream made absolutely no sense, but when I finally figured out what it was telling me, it made so much sense, it blew my mind! Here is my dream:
I dreamt that I held the winning ticket to a "22 million dollar lottery". When I phoned the lottery place (in my dream) to declare myself the winner, a voice on the other end asked me what my name was. I told him, "Cindy" MacDonald. At the time, that was who I was. He said; "sorry, but that is the wrong name! At this point, I awoke.
I wasn't only confused when I woke up, I was pissed! Like, "whaddya mean I have the wrong name?! I'm holding the "winning ticket" in my hand, but you won't give me my winnings caus' you don't like my name??!!" Go figure!
It made no sense at all. I know that if you win a lottery in reality that they will ask for your name, but they don't hold it against you!
This was a direct communication from the universe. I knew there was some logic in it somewhere and I was going to find it. I pondered this dream for weeks trying to make some sense of it. I only discovered what it was telling me when I applied it to the divine art of numerology.
I was given the name "Lucinda" at birth, but I was known to my friends, family and acquaintances all of my life as "Cindy". Numerologically, it didn't matter which name I chose to use as my identity as both of the names "Lucinda MacDonald" and "Cindy MacDonald" hold the exact same number influence. The influence of the number "5".
My date of birth holds the influence to master number "11". By using these two different influences as my major guiding influence in life, I created the chaos, disorder, confusion and disillusionment that followed me throughout my life.
The only other alternative name within the name Lucinda that I could have used in life is "Lucy". I always knew that Lucy was there as an option, but I never used it because I never liked it. I was named after my grandmother who's name was "Lucinda", but she was known as "Lucy". To me, at my young, naive age, "Lucy" sounded so old ladyish so I never used it. I thought about that as I pondered my dream. For the first time in my life, I applied the name "Lucy MacDonald" to numerology. When I worked it out, I discovered that the name holds the influence to the master number "11". Exactly the same as my birthdate.
The birthdate influence is fixed and cannot be altered, but by changing the use of my name and establishing my life and identity around the name "Lucy MacDonald", I can unleash the power of the number 11 in my name, bringing it into harmony with the 11 of my birthdate. My "22" million dollar lottery! 22 being the sum of the two 11 vibrations.
My "winnings" in this case are the reward/benefits, either spiritual, material or both, that I have been given the opportunity to obtain "through that harmony"! priceless!
The name "Lucinda" is my winning ticket as it holds the second half of the 22 vibration, which, in numerology, is known as the soul's journey number.
Applying this concept to my dream, I have held that "winning combination" all of my life within the name Lucinda, but I couldn't "cash in" on it because I was using "Cindy" and not "Lucy". As the voice in my dream clearly stated; "Sorry, but that is the wrong name!"
I knew without a doubt in my mind, what I needed to do and so began the process of changing the use of my name to "Lucy". Long story I know, but I enjoy telling it.
