Energy through numbers

So, this has been happening a long long long time, however I thought I would take some time out to reflect on this peculiar thing.  I keep seeing the number 22 along with a lot of association to the number 10.  For example, when unconsciously looking around I may see people reading a book and they're on chapter 22 or  a volume is set to 22 or the minutes are on 22.  That kind of thing.  I'm not sure where all of this started but I know that I have been aware for a long time that these numbers appear in many ways and forms.  I unconsciously didn't choose these numbers but surely they must have some significance (besides mathematics), especially as there is a lot of spiritual material out there on the meaning of them.  Although it can be argued that I can see and apply meaning to anything that my mind will focus on.  And maybe that I could be just seeking the number and disregarding others.  However, of all the numbers there is why does 22 often standout visually and verbally.  Anyway, I thought I'd investigate into this...

22

Apparently 22 has a lot of resonance to purpose in life and has a strong spiritual connection.  There's a lot of positive energy and vibration around intuition, effort and purposefulness that I am called to share with humanity.  It seems to revolve around making dreams into reality which involves being pragmatic, ambitious and focused.

Dua Lipa - "My lucky 22 that follows me everywhere 🖤"

There are many more...

10

This number appears to represent determination, independence, confidence, leadership and accomplishment - having everything one needs in order to be successful.  It's about seeing things through wholeheartedly rather than incomplete or unfinished tasks.  Having the inspiration, ideas, solutions, drive and will to succeed in anything that the mind is focused on.

Some known/recent sightings:

• My birth date
• The day, month and year of when I (narrowly) survived a single car incident (my car was wrote off as a result - mangled mess)
• Gabriella Cilmi's 'On A Mission' song was a source of motivation when I started my learning technology career - from the album Ten, released 22nd March 2010
• New house number where I moved to
• My book release day
• Seat number 10 for Kylie Minogue Golden Tour

And so on...

Once you start seeing it, you see it everywhere, and that's without trying or thinking about it.  Coincidence?  That's an individual thing - it's what you choose to believe in.  I feel there is a strong connection with these numbers but I can't explain further why.  Weirdly (without deciding to), I first began making notes on this blog post on the 10 April 2018.

Making sense of it

I can definitely see how these numbers have meaning to me given the descriptions.  I do feel a strong sense of energy, purpose and movement about me (possibly an odd thing to say).  Especially how I have developed myself personally (struggled in finding out who I was) and professionally (making something of myself), there's real evidence here for these.  But there has always been something in me that has put the 'voices' in my head to push myself further and move outside of my comfort zone.  I guess it explains why I have strong proactive energies that have enabled me to do some things that I might talk myself out of.  Plus, I am at an interesting part of my life right now having moved home, new job and generally being more wiser.

By no means am I right, or wrong on this matter.  But after searching on the meaning of these numbers there seems to be a lot of spiritual knowledge (and my own evidence) that these numbers definitely have significant meaning to me.  It seems I need to listen to myself more and truly apply the spiritual and empathetic gifts I have, as I know that I don't use them to their best potential.  I'm fully aware there's something meaningful happening behind the 'spiritual veil', I'm not sure when or how it will reveal itself, or maybe it has and I don't know it yet?  But it does feel like one of those things where all the stars are aligned.  Crazy beautiful stuff I'd say!  I need to devote some time to understand this further.  It is an interest but usually after work I'm mentally exhausted and some weekends can be hectic.  Or I could do with speaking to someone or something to show me the way, as a lot of guidance suggests it's a kind of awakening?

EDIT:

On a dark autumnal night in October 2021, I was pondering over this topic.  Still seeing 22 in many forms and occurrences and giving a smile or nod to them.  Though specifically I was thinking about the years:

• 2010 - mainly was about me taking lead of myself and my life.  it was such a revelation year and one that showed a lot of personal growth.  Not being a follower that I once was
• 2022 - leading into the next year, after the burst of interest in Movement Medicine. This is the start of something quite incredible in my life and my own spirituality and wonder if 22 is and was part of this awakening/redirecting all along?  Weeks prior to this pondering, I put my name on a waiting list to join a small tutored group in Movement Medicine for January 2022

I may well report back here as the years go on.

You can't take the Tarn...

I've been working at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) for a year now, while I feel settled in my role I feel somewhat less confident about my 'self' shall I say.  Much of this is down to how I feel I am perceived, especially from where I have come from a working class background and from Barnsley, South Yorkshire - an ex-mining town - and am currently living in one now.  Whilst this may sound negative, this is a 'humble ramble' of reflection on interactions I have experienced.  That said, I am treated with respect by my peers and they are absolute stars and have been very supportive of me, even some are originally from Yorkshire and have reassured me.  It's still good to get those "oh he's from Barnsley/Yorkshire...".

Some of this may come down to my transition from FE to HE which I have talked about previously.  I still feel like I am that kid that has just moved up from primary school to secondary school.  Remember those memories?  I remember them clearly.  You know, it's like trying to fit in with others and establish myself to people and groups of people, proving your worth etc.  But do I have to really?  Can I just be myself?  Is that enough?

When I first started at NTU, I was extremely nervous of working at a university but then there was the anxiety of how I will fit in.  My accent has been a core worry as many frown upon it.  In writing I feel I appear more clearly and the expectations are high but as soon as I open my mouth and Yorkshire comes out, the expectations oddly drop.  During my first week a new colleague said to me “your accent is music to my ears” (they had friends up in Sheffield) this helped me feel a bit more homely and comfortable around here.

I have reflected a lot recently on how I feel about this and I'm probably a bit sensitive to it.  I have narrowed down some things that I feel affect my confidence, especially when having conversations and interactions with colleagues:

• Accent/Yorkshire upbringing
• Status/ego of people
• Outweighed by others knowledge
• My own knowledge/contributing value

Broadly, these aspects affect me when speaking in some meetings and conversations I am involved in.  More so when I feel other people are more 'prestigious' than me.  I communicate effectively as my experience proves and can contribute to many things, but these aspects prevent me from being confident and make me feel inferior as a result.  I think all I need is a bit of bolstering and raising my self up from the depths of others opinions, perceptions and even my own.  Slightly relevant, I said in a recent reply on Twitter to a separate but interesting topic "To me, just be true and honest to yourself and explore others energies you can bounce off - mutual in that others need to see a reason to work with you. Which has its downsides of ego, status and joining in the rat race." "...it just reinforces all the discussions around who you express in person should be the same online. Or should we? It's always going to be a challenge between what you reveal and conceal, in different situations and with different people."

I was speaking to my friend about all of this on a walk recently.  How people at work react and express their body language to my accent.  Through my experience, I feel that many think Yorkshire (or Northern) folk are dumb, especially from Barnsley.  When I introduce myself and say I am from there, they go "Baaaarnsley".  What does that even mean?  I don't think I even say that (or do I? 🤔).  Over  the years and my job roles, my accent has been refined.  You can clearly tell I am from Yorkshire like, but after a few drinks, Barnsley comes out!  Many think Barnsley is an extremely dire place and we're all still trapped in this harsh miner community.  Yes it's present, due to it being founded upon that culture.  But like all places there are good and bad areas.  I think there are many Yorkshire people that have been brought up in this culture where dream jobs won't put food on the table (and you can't have too nicer things, or be too successful and break 'the mould').  Resulting in many feeling they have to constantly prove themselves.  I feel like that and have this strong motivation to show people what I am capable of, when there is no need to really.

I feel there is a lot of stigma still around in terms of Yorkshire folk being labelled as inferior.  I feel that when people see my profile and accomplishments and accolades in writing, then they meet me in person and hear my voice, I feel they are disappointed somewhat.  It's the expression on some peoples faces I pick up on.  Some people are all about status and hung up where you came from and where you was educated.  My online accounts still reflect that I live in Barnsley (since moved for work).  I'm proud of where I come from.

Seeing Jodie Whittaker play the new Doctor Who (which she totally nailed) gave me further encouragement to be more loud and proud that I'm Yorkshire, just like she is and doesn't shy away from it.  So if being Yorkshire offends you, then go irritate yourself!  🙂  Because like The Doctor said; "I know exactly who I am!"

At a training event recently on SCALE-UP (Student-Centred Active Learning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies), a lecturer shared their experience of facilitating an activity using TED Talks.  They basically showed their students some cultural myths TED Talks videos, such as how Africa was portrayed as a poor country etc and all the destitute imagery we were served through TV and marketing materials.  The videos went on to show the successes and the real beauty of the country and it's many areas.  It makes we want to do something similar - how can I turn negative perceptions of Yorkshire on its head.  Maybe I will come back to this at some point.  But yes Yorkshire does have a lot of success and celebrities who came from there.  I may even be talking utter nonsense - Yorkshire may not be viewed that negatively, I'm just emptying my thoughts.  Maybe I can be talking about Yorkshire successes a lot more and more so my own coming from my hometown...

I'm off for a cup of Yorkshire Tea (my workplace stocks it for us).  Because let's be honest, there's no better brew than a Yorkshire brew! ☕

EDIT: Sue Beckingham (Sheffield Hallam University) made an overwhelmingly nice comment to me on this:

Me - "After hearing a comment on this topic. Partner: "It really is a Yorkshire thing to want to prove yourself". Me: "Well many were brought up in this culture that dream jobs won't put food on the table". Reminded me of this blog post I wrote. https://danielscott86.blogspot.com/2018/10/you-cant-take-tarn.html"

Sue Beckingham - "We need to talk! 1. You are a brilliant educator and I among many others admire your work. 2. I empathise and want to assure you that many of us suffer silently from these feelings. 3. Thank you for being brave enough to share this."

May 2024 - I believe it was part of my life journey to leave my hometown and be where I am now.  To learn and grow how I have and share that widely with others.

Learning Technology: A Handbook for FE Teachers and Assessors

On 5 December 2024, it was announced that Critical Publishing Ltd was acquired by the Taylor & Francis Group, that includes imprints such as Routledge.  Therefore the publication is now owned and distributed by Routledge.

I wrote and project managed my acclaimed book 'Learning Technology: A Handbook for FE Teachers and Assessors', published on 10 September 2018.

📖 The book

When I started my career in learning technology, I had little understanding of how digital technology could be used in education.  Throughout my professional development and being proactive in my field, I understood a lot more about Information Learning Technology (ILT).  However, it wasn't made as easy as it could possibly be.  This may be the case for some people, hence writing this accessible book to help and guide them.  I would have appreciated a book like this when I first started my learning technology role.  It's in this spirit why I wanted to write a book like this.  Read more about the rationale behind my book's creation.

I'll take a moment to say I am really proud of this book.  Not only because of getting it out there, but coming from my educational background.  I saw a gap in the market for this kind of book - one that has not been published in this style before.  I enjoy making sense of complex learning situations and theories and being able to simplify them, not only for me but for others.  This is very much present in my book, it’s just as useful to me than it is to its readers – good for reminding me on stuff!  I believe what I have done is a extremely useful and valuable resource.  I'd like to think of this publication as a continuing body of work and I will hopefully have the opportunity expand and build on this edition as new knowledge and practices are experienced and learned.  As well as the continuing evolution of digital practices.

Many learning technology books are 'theory heavy' and are aimed at already confident and competent ILT users and the digitally capable.  Some people may not be where they are.  This publication is accessibly and practically what ILT and eLearning is and how to make the most of them in Further Education (FE) teaching practices.  It follows a known structure and one based on digital learning and teaching qualifications I used to teach.  Those who are looking for more theory/debate, innovative ideas or about the next big game-changing digital technology this will not be for you - there are many other books available for this.  This accessible book is ideal for those starting out using and have some awareness of ILT and making the most of available digital technology.  As well as exploring further potential of how it can enhance their role and their learners learning.  You may even be undertaking an Education and Training programme and you need further guidance in the application of ILT.  You'll notice that much essential teacher training material is in textual form, now learning technology is accessible in this medium.  Whilst the text is aimed at FE, all of it can be related to Higher Education (HE), it's all useful for building foundations for effective use of digital technology with any learners.

The book represents me as a pragmatic person - getting straight to the point in accessible, simplified and practical guidance.  It is a product and celebration of what I have experienced, learned and practised since starting my career journey in learning technology.  I share with you the main things that I feel are required to make the use of ILT successful and help you to learn more ways to be creative with it.  My book proudly sits alongside and complements many other learning technology and teaching books.  I hope your enjoy this book as much as I did putting it together.
