it’s true, especially 723, my birthday, i see it everywhere. I’ll change the channel and it is either variables of 7, 2, 3, or my name! i am so used to it, happens bout 3 – 5 times a day. Its been happening for about 10 years. i used to write down, but it happens so frequently, it was a pain in the ass. Most people don’t believe me,( except people of the like) so i don’t mention is anymore.. it just confirms the fact that I am meant to be where I am. I think Jung called it “synchronicity”. if you are aware to it, it will be revealed.

On behalf of everyone I would like to say that something very deeeep and important has been awaken not taken away. I have a question for people? would you build the tallest most innovative building without designing a fail safe foundation! It needs to be able to withstand winds, terrorism and social contradiction. A building is just a metal structure so you cant relate it to the importance of something so vital as the mixing of the right opinionated energy waves on our planet. Being where I am is not where i will be. I know everyone always wondered what was really going on with MJ’s number ! The real question for you is can you read a book without grail when your blind! Maybe you can undertsand it buy making a duplicate of the book with grail but then your just not looking at it with your own eyes. your understaning the book a different way and not the way it was meant to be. Now imagine if ony a coulpe of people only could truely interpet that book because they had different emotional interests then anyone eles and they were the only 2 not blind. Remeber we are here because of our creator. Now we don’t understand what are creator is because of certain unexplainable reasons. I have hope and faith that the creator wanted something to happen to change the world. There is a reason why everything has happened the way it has. Sometimes when you see a patch of flowers you see the most blossomed flower but then you see that one flower that you just know when it blossoms it will be the undeniable the number 1 most beautiful one in every possible way.

Hello my name is David i saw the movie 23 when it came out and it is one of my favorite movies, but when i saw it i did’nt know there was a 23 enigma. Now I am very fascinated with the number 23. I have found out many 23 related events on my own and I am only 15.

The last letter of the Greek Alphabet is Omega
OM is the combined sound of all existence, the sound of the universe.
Eg in greek means: for example
A is the first letter- the begining
perhaps Omega is not the end it is simply a new beginning.
After a thousand years (if indeed time has any real meaning in the of universal time) of peace and harmony as predicted there will simply be a new begining….perhaps

I have been expereincing this 23 phenomena for twelve years, since November 7th 1997 to be exact. Until last night I did not know there was a ’23 Enigma’ theory.
The synchronicities during the past twelve years have been profound. Everyone who knows me knows that the number 23 shows up in my life all the time. While I agree that we attract and percieve through our thoughts, words and actions, I also beleive that the universe is communicating with us, using everything within and arround us, because the universe ( Insert whatever word you choose to refer the oness; God, Allah, Jesus, Mohamed, Krishna, The Unified Field, Bhudda, Shiva, ect, here) is all there is.
These synchronicities tend to bring our attention into the NOW, which is where enlightenment exists.
You are absolutley right that any number or word or phrase ect. can become that for you.
I am looking at the Tv right now and Rosetta Stone has a comercial 800 251-6923 advertising learning another language-hmmmm- we are learning another language, the language of the universe, synchronicity, realising that everyhting is connected-now, I just happened to look up at this moment!
Now, when the movie “The Number 23′ came out in February 2003 I of course went to see it. In the movie a young girl is muredered on her 23rd birthday. Carrey’s character visits the girls grave. Her birthdate is February 10th. That is my birthday…..
I could go on and on……
Now having looked at the list of synchronistic 23′s posted on the net there seems to be one that is not listed that was a part of my first expereince of this number when it came into my life on November 7th 1997. PSI is the 23rd letter in the Greek alpabet. The Collins English concise dictionary defines PSI as all harmonious sounds combined. There are 24 letters in the Greek alpahabet. The first letter is Alpha and the last letter is Omega. Alpha/Omega. My only prior reference to Alpha and OMega was the beginning and the end from the book of revelations. The 23 letter PSI is the next to to last.
It is phrophesied in all religions and cultures that we are about to enter and new age, a new era, a new eon, the age of aquarius, the Native American Indians call it the next dream, Bhuddists the next yuga, Christians The Second Coming, whatever term you choose to label/describe this period. One thing they all agree on is that after a period of radical rapid change/cleansing/purification in our MINDS, BODIES & SPIRITS, which will then be reflected in the external world around us, there will be peace and HARMONY, for a period, age, eon ect.
Just looked up again and saw message running at bottom of picture on HLN ’23 college presidents earn $1 million’
hmmmm….
In Numerology 2 represents earth, 3 represents heaven. Are we in the process of bring heaven on earth? This is the time we come into balance. The old systems are breaking down and causing confusion/chaos. Of course confusin/chaos in just another form of order and order is born out of chaos.
This is simply a preparation for the new systems to come into place. 23 is just one of many poweful synchronistic tools the force of creation is using to help us all wake up and help us let go of our addiction to the external world, the past and the future and come back to our senses, come back to our selves and live in the now, I guess that’s why they cal it the present!

You overlook another dynamic at play here. The books of Burroughs and more importantly Robert Anton Wilson that popularized the 23 Enigma were widely read by authors and screenwriters. As a consequence, writers have been consciously selecting the number 23 to be included in books, movies, tv shows, advertisements, etc. over the decades since their books were published. So another factor in why we see so many “23′s” is that – at least in popular culture – there really are a lot more “23′s”.

So what started as a exercise in apophenia, is now a reality and a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Sorry I was consumed by smartassness in my last comment. There are patterns everywhere and it’s amazing how they readily they emerge once you’ve identified a few instances. Looking at the world this way reveals new connections and allegories.

I am nervous about contagion though. Not long ago I developed the maddening habit of reading the words on every sign backwards to see what nonsense word it made. It took me over a year to stop; it was addictive and scary.

I know, I’m neurotic. But at least I’m harmless. Here’s what a friend of mine had to say on Facebook:

“I went to a class on Jewish civil law in Aspen last week. The Rabbi in charge of the class mentioned that if 23 judges were to all have the same result of guilty than the man was set free. I asked the unrelated question “why the number 23?”. He didn’t know.”
