Return bottles

So while playing around with the numbers of of four equilibrium bottles that I had selected, I noticed that three of them reduced to the number 9. Out of curiosity, I looked up bottle 9 - but didn't feel any special connection with it...and on some level, felt a little put off by the colours. Then I noticed that the write up indicated that the "return" bottle of bottle 9 is 87...a bottle which I am extremely attracted too and would love to use at some point. However, I don't understand what a "return bottle" is...could you please explain what it's significance is? Can I only use it if I put myself through using that (ugly) bottle 9??

You should always rather use the bottles you are attracted to - you don't have to use the 9 before the 87. You can think of the return bottles being the other side of the coin of the bottles 0 through to 21 - almost like the head and tail of a coin that is part of the same energetic message in this case.

The 0 - 21 are considered the outward journey bottles, and the 22 and 79-99 are the return journey bottles that relate to them. The outward bottles tell a story of an 'innocent' heading out blissfully unaware into life (or opportunity) and accumulating lessons and wisdom along the way, becoming more conscious in the progress of the journey. The return journey bottles address similar pathways, but with the gift of some insights that lead one toward mastering the challenges life presents.

I think it's important to consider that this occurs on very many levels of what I think of as a spiral of life. One may be highly accomplished at certain levels but naive or unaware at others, thus the outward and return journeys can be simultaneous or running parallel to one another, and sometime we need to visit what seems to be the same challenge a few times in order to master the skill and integrate the experience.

By working with the colours you are attracted to, you may find that you start seeing things differently, and at some point you may become attracted to the ones that appear repulsive to you now. It is sometimes quite a surprise when that happens!
