Clusters of Number Synchros: #23

Posted on September 16, 2022 by Trish and Rob

 

In 7 Secrets of Synchronicity, the 5th secret is Clusters: Synchronicity manifests itself in clusters of numbers, names, objects, words, symbols.

Quite often, people who see the same numbers, like 11:11, over and over feel they’re being stalked by the numbers, hunted, pursued. That’s how writer William Burroughs felt after numerous synchronicities with the number 23.

In Tangiers in the early 1960s, the author of Naked Lunch knew a Captain Clark who ran a ferry from Tangiers to Spain. Clark boasted that he’d been running the ferry for twenty-three years without an accident and on the same day of the boast, the ferry sank, killing Clark and everyone on board. That same evening Burroughs was mulling over this tragedy and happened to turn on the radio. He heard about the crash of a New York-Miami airplane piloted by a Captain Clark. The flight number was 23.

The synchronicity shocked Burroughs and he began compiling a list of coincidences involving the number 23. In 1965, his friend and fellow author Robert Anton Wilson also started compiling a list about the number. One of the personal oddities Burroughs found concerned his daughters, who were born August 23 and February 23. In 1977, he wrote about this weirdness for the Fortean Times. It appeared in issue 23.

Now let’s take a look at literature. Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564 and died on April 23, 1616. His first folio was published in 1623,

Hollywood also has its share of 23s. Take the X Files production company, Ten-Thirteen. The numbers 10 and 13 add up to 23. The show’s creator, Chris Carter, was born on 10/13. In one and the number 1013 appeared on the side of the silo. In another episode, Muldur went to the apartment of. Recently deceased man and the number 23 was on the door.
Remember the TV show Lost? It built on layers of synchronicity and there were many oddities that involved 23:

Oceanic Flight 815 – 8+15=23

The flight departed from gate 23

Jack’s seat on the plane was 23 A

Hurley stayed in a Sydney hotel on floor 23

The reward for turning Kate in was $23,000

Even if the repetition of 23 was intentional, it was the sort of weirdness that would have interested Burroughs and Wilson. They saw 23 as a death number. Maybe they were right. The twenty-third psalm is a popular reading at funerals. Burroughs discovered that the bootlegger Dutch Schultz had Vincent “Mad Dog” Coll assassinated on 23rd Street in New York when Coll was 23 years old. Schultz himself was assassinated on October 23. Wilson dug deeper and discovered that the man convicted of shooting Schultz served 23 years before being paroled. Wilson noted that in the telegraphers’ code, 23 means means “bust” or “break the line.” Hexagram 23 in The I Ching is called Splitting Apart.
And all these examples are just starters.

If you experience synchronicity clusters with the number 23, it doesn’t mean you’re going to die, that you’re cursed or anything else of that nature. But it could indicate that you’re going through a major transformative period in your life and that there’s a path ahead that you haven’t recognized yet.

P.S. A few hours after I’d written this post and put it on the dashboard, our daughter Megan texted. She’s traveling in Colorado  and said they’d stopped for gas in a town that had just 23 residents. I asked her how she knew that and she said their server had told her. So it looks as if this #23 is gearing up to become a cluster. Stay  tuned!

Predictions by Kids in 1983

Posted on September 14, 2022 by Trish and Rob

 

In 1983, I was teaching Spanish to middle schoolers at a private school that was part of Nova University in Fort Lauderdale. Spanish wasn’t their favorite subject, so I told my 8th graders that if they studied Spanish four days a week, then every Friday we would study “anomalies” and do psychic experiments. They loved it!

On March 14, 1983, I asked them to write down their predictions for 25 years in the future – i.e., for 2008. It had to include a prediction about themselves. Rob ran across a folder today with all their predictions inside.

There are a number of precognitions in these predictions:  school at home with  TV so you and the teacher can see each other; phones with TVs so you can see the person you’re talking to; we’ll be closer to the truth about UFOs. You’ll also spot the stuff that hasn’t happened yet.

Deirdre Silverstein

Telephones will have TVs so you can see the person you’re talking to. Sounds like smart phones, right? Back in 1983, the development of the iPhone wouldn’t happen until 2007.

We will have cities in the clouds.

Rocket ships will be used just like cars for transportation.

I will have a family and dogs and cats and horses. Live in New York. I will be a famous model.

Donna Lipworth

There will be robots

School at your own home. Your teacher’s face is brought to your house by satellite onto a huge TV screen. Sounds like the magic of Zoom.

Living on other planets

Money will scream for help when it’s being robbed from you

I’ll be a translator at the U.N.

Gary Fein

Space travel is common

Television phones – this sounds like smart phones

Cure for cancer and other diseases

Limitless energy

Communicating with animals

My profession will be an assassin to kill groups like the Mafia etc.

Mark Weinberg

TV phones

A push button world

A nuclear holocaust ending with destruction of earth as we know it

End of democracy – Gulp. Looks like we may be headed there

Astral travel

I’ll be a scientist or doctor.

Debbie Weitz

No cars. Everyone will be using planes and jets

Telephones will have screens so you can see who you’re talking to

Children won’t know how to do basic skills because computers will do them

Fashion and the way of thinking will be back the same way as the 1950s. Given the agenda of the republican party and the supreme court, this one is eerie

I think I will be a pediatrician.

Jack Regtman

Space stations

Better school system

More comfortable furniture – This one made me laugh!

Understanding of anomalies in the U.S.

I think I will be an architect or a lawyer.

Neal Falk

We will have trouble with other countries that’s so severe we’ll be under constant pressure

We’ll have the answers about whether there are really UFOs

Inflation will be high

Psychics will be used often in the future

The economy will be bad. There will be more people with no money.

Neal didn’t make a prediction about what he would be doing

Marla Pomeranz

Cars that run on any other substance than gas

Houses will be run only by solar energy

We’ll have in every one a screen the children can turn on and see a teacher. They will go to school last home.

We’ll have learned a lot about people from outer space

I will be a successful attorney and mother and wife.

Lisa Jakubowicz

Families travel to outer space

Cancer will be cured in 24 hours

No more cars

Food can be turned into little pills

More children will go to college.

I  will be a doctor and a housewife.

Rachel Rubin

Telephones- seeing people as you talk to them

Commercials where you can reach into the TV and try a product -i.e., Hershey bar. Reach out, grab it, & eat it.

Shopping at home

School stay at home

Rachel didn’t make a prediction about what she would be doinng

A meaningful coincidence pays off

Posted on September 11, 2022 by Trish and Rob

Here’s a fascinating synchro story from Bernard Beitman’s new book, Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen. We are interviewing Bernard about his book this week on The Mystical Underground podcast.

Nathan Stein had wanted to be a doctor but the Great Depression forced him to give up his dream. He pinned his hopes on his grand- son Kevin who decided at a very early age to go to medical school. But Nathan died when Kevin was nine. As a senior at Penn State University, Kevin was confronted with enormous tuition costs. His parents, both real estate agents, stepped up their efforts to bring in more business. One day his father, Sherman, noticed an ad by people planning to sell their house on their own. Although he rarely contacted private sellers,

he felt an uncontrollable urge to make an appointment with them. After two appointment changes, Sherman met with the seller. With the address in hand, he had a strange feeling. As he walked up to the front door, he realized that this was his father-in-law’s old house! As Sherman was telling the sellers about this coincidence, the door- bell rang. It was the mailman with a registered letter for Nathan Stein who had died fourteen years earlier. Sherman signed for it. The letter was from a bank about Nathan Stein’s dormant account. The account contained the exact amount Kevin needed to go to medical school. In this story, the mind included the intentions of four people—the pre- med student, his parents, and his deceased grandfather.

The Queen’s Synchro

Posted on September 9, 2022 by Trish and Rob

Here’s an interesting news item related to the queen’s death. We would call this a global synchronicity since its related to an event that enters the consciousness of millions of people.

As crowds gathered in rain-swept London Thursday evening due to the news that Queen Elizabeth II was gravely ill, the clouds suddenly parted, revealing a double rainbow above Buckingham Palace.

Approximately 20 minutes after the appearance of the rainbow, the palace issued a statement at 6;30 p.m. local time announcing that Elizabeth had passed away at Balmoral Castle, her retreat in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

There was also a cloud spotted with an uncanny resemblance to the queen wearing her hat. You can see it here.

Astrological Archetypes

Posted on September 8, 2022 by Trish and Rob

 

Aries: I’m the Star Trek motto, going where no one else has gone before. Cross me and I’ll mow you down. I don’t give a shit.

Taurus: I cultivate and civilize what Aries discovers. I’ve also got some secrets that no one will uncover.  I’m vying with Scorpio for the most stubborn sign. Give me a plot of land and I’ll bring you food, sustenance.

Gemini: I collect information and then disseminate it, far and wide. I’m the messenger who takes what Aries discovers and what Taurus cultivates, and hand it off to Cancer. Ha. But hey, I also seduce you with my words and my stories.

Cancer: Ha? Bro, you need therapy, honest introspection. I embrace Aries, Taurus, even you, Gemini. Let me help you. I am MOM. I am TRUST.  I am NURTURING LOVE

Leo: Seriously? This is a real conversation? C’mon, you guys. Let’s go party with Sadge. Let me lead you. Let me show you how.

Virgo: Details, folks, details. How does  the mosaic fit together? How do all these intricate pieces create a whole? Why do I feel like I’m out here on a limb by myself? Huh?

Libra:  Banging my gavel, listen up. Each of you has a piece of the cosmic puzzle, okay? Now, can we all be friends? Please? Can we go find something to do that we all love?

Scorpio: OMG. They’re all missing the point, the absolute bottom line. It’s mythological, you idiots. Profound. Wake up! We’re trapped in the matrix. Who’s leading us out of this weirdness?

Sagittarius: I’ve got tickets to a vision quest on the island of Mykonos in Greece. Give me mushrooms and let’s  go find the truth. All of you are my friends  until you prove to be otherwise and then, oh yeah, dudes, bye-bye.

Capricorn:  I’m scaling mountains one painful step at a time and you guys want to trip  in Greece? Why? Convince me that I should go.  Explain it. Lay out your case. How does this enhance my resume?

Aquarius: Cappy, c’mon,  You have ambition but lack vision. You have goals but don’t understand your personal quest. Your endurance is unsurpassed but…where’s your passion? Me, I’m into the family of man. Give me your visionaries…

Pisces:  C’mon, you guys. All of you. Let’s go dance with the collective. Let’s be visionaries and optimists. Let’s go find a woods or an ocean and meditate and dream  and visualize what we desire. A planet united.

From 2017

Posted on September 6, 2022 by Trish and Rob

 

We first published this synchro on August 8, 2017. It was weird then, but after 4 years of trump that ended in an insurrection and the current January 6 investigation, it strikes me as particularly strange and precognitive.
+++
Global synchros may be more common than we realize, and often underscore the idea that the universe actually has a sense of humor! This one involves a series of books written by Ingersoll Lockwood in the late 1800s: Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground Journey.
It’s about a wealthy kid, Baron, who lives in Castle Trump. His adventures start with a man named Don, the “Master of all Masters, who convinces him to travel to Russia, where the discovery of a portal enables him to travel to other lands.

Newsweek wrote about the coincidences in the books and noted that with Ingersoll’s final book in the series, The Last President, “the link to Trump are once again abundantly clear. The president’s hometown of New York City is fearing the collapse of the republic in this book, also titled 1900, immediately following the transition of presidential power. Some Americans begin forming a resistance, protesting what was seen as a corrupt and unethical election process.”

What’s especially interesting about this synchro is how it has taken off among internet conspiracy theorists. They believe the portal to other worlds in the books supports a theory that the Trump family has had access to time travel for many years ― through the president’s uncle, engineer John Trump. Apparently John Trump had access to the papers of Nikola Tesla, who was researching time travel, and this knowledge enabled Trump to win the 2016 presidential election.
+++

In retrospect, I find that last paragraph sounds like the QAnon people who gathered in Dealey Plaza in Dallas, in November 2021. They believed JFK and his son would rise from the dead and the son  would run as trump’s VP in 2024. Here’s Rolling Stone’s story on that nutty belief.

The Mystical Underground: Preston Dennett And Dolly Safran: Orion’s Belt

Posted on September 4, 2022 by Trish and Rob

A new episode of The Mystical Underground is live! “Preston Dennett And Dolly Safran: Orion’s Belt”:

Join Trish and Rob for a conversation with…

Preston Dennett first began investigating UFOs in 1986 after learning that his family friends and co-workers had encounters. Since then, he has interviewed hundreds of people and investigated a wide variety of cases. He has written 29 books and more than 100 articles about UFOs and the paranormal. He is a frequent guest on radio and TV and speaks to audiences across the United States.
His latest book is SYMMETRY: A True UFO Adventure. It features the incredible story of UFO/alien contact by a woman named Dolly Safran.

And we’re pleased that Dolly is here with us today too…

Dolly Safran has worked as a limo driver, assistant manager at Wendy’s, a zookeeper, a bus driver, a security guard, a nurse, and more. She has also worked for the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Department of Defense.

Dolly has had life-long experiences with extraterrestrials that began around the age of two, and they are ongoing. She has an astonishing story that she told Preston about her varied experiences among the Grays. What makes Dolly’s story particularly interesting is that she has had total recall of her experiences since age 14 and even remembers the earlier ones that were blocked. Besides that, while many abductees have fearful experiences, Dolly considers the Grays more like family than frightful aliens and doesn’t consider herself an abductee.

The Age of Adeline…and more

Posted on September 1, 2022 by Trish and Rob

We recently watched the 2015 movie, The Age of Adaline, that Trish and I had somehow missed and, strangely enough, it evoked a couple of synchronicities for me.

In the movie, Adaline Bowman (Blake Lively) at age 29 has an accident that results in the miraculously condition in which she no longer ages. Over the decades, she never lets anyone get too close to her because of her condition and moves frequently to keep her secret and avoid becoming a human guinea pig.

However, a chance encounter with a charismatic philanthropist named Ellis Jones (Michiel Huisman) reawakens Adaline’s long-suppressed passion for life and romance. But it turns out that Adaline also had a serious affair 40 years earlier with Ellis’s father (Harrison Ford). A big coincidence that movie viewers have to swallow, but at that point, well over half of the movie, we were hooked and happy to go along for the ride.

Two particular scenes in the movie caught my attention. Both take place in San Francisco where most of the movie is set. In one, Ellis takes Adaline (who now goes by Jenny) to the San Francisco underground where about 40 ships are buried underneath the Embarcadero and Financial Districts, which used to be the city’s original shoreline. Most of the vessels are remnants of the Gold Rush, left behind by men who arrived in the San Francisco Bay, many from China, and abandoned their ships. The city was built on top of them.

In the other scene, Adaline takes Ellis to an old abandoned warehouse in the city that in the 1930s was a huge movie theater. The owner created an accurate night sky using bioluminescence which becomes visible when all the house lights are out. Now decades later, Adaline, who remembers the theater well, shows Ellis the night sky which is still visible on the domed ceiling.

Both those scenes – the San Francisco underground ships and an indoor planetarium – are also featured in Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, the last novel I wrote for LucasFilm. The novel, which was never published for stupid publishing house reasons, was based on the storyline for the sixth version of the Indiana Jones computer game. I didn’t create either of the scenes, just enhanced them, and they were written about five years before the Adaline movie came out.

So, of course, the last piece of the synchronicity is that Harrison Ford plays a role in the movie. So, for me, seeing those remindful scenes was kind of stunning. Meanwhile, as I’m writing this, the final episode of the audio version of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings will be coming out in a few days.

One other ships under San Francisco…

Happy BIrthday, Megan!!

Posted on August 31, 2022 by Trish and Rob

 

So, 33 years ago, at 8:10 PM, our daughter Megan came into the world and changed our lives forever.

I remember looking into her vivid blue eyes and wondering what her passions would be, what she had come in to experience in this life.  I promised her that we would do whatever we could to support those passions.

Around 1:30 on the morning of September 1, a nurse from the nursery brought Megan in for a feeding.  I was still exhausted after more than 30 hours of labor and after the nurse had picked her up again, my head sank into the pillow.

But suddenly, I heard someone call my name. I sat up and glanced around the room. I was in a ward with 4 other women and they were all asleep. The door  to the room was shut. I plopped my head down, determined to get some sleep. Then it happened again, someone calling my name. This time I realized it was an internal voice so  opened myself to it and said, “Okay, whatever this is, show me.”

I had the distinct impression of a blond woman of about 40, 45, who said her name was Megan. She asked for information- about when and where she was born, what Rob & I were writing at the time, where we were living, about the specifics of our lives and the world. In her time, she said, climate change had resulted in destroyed records and land.

In 1989, the phrase climate change wasn’t common.

I’m not sure how long this exchange lasted but it was so real that when it ended, I committed it to memory. The next day when Rob returned to take us both home, I told him about it.

In 33 years, I’ve learned that she wears born with more talent than either Rob or I. She’s a terrific artist (which she majored in),has finished her first novel, and is lot more of a dare devil than I am. She’s kind, intuitive, fun to be with and she’s a Democrat!

Happy birthday, Megger! Love you bigger than Google!
