I have been experiencing synchronicity daily or almost daily for about 7 years now. It all started with the transformation of consciousness at the climax of my depression (which also cured it), when I was overwhelmed with synchronicity. The synchronicity usually involves numbers 22, 23, 33 and 43, sometimes 11 as well.
But these numbers were a part of my life even before this, I just didn’t see anything special in them then. For example, my home postal number is 43 (just as my shoe number). The pub I most frequently visit is in the same street, on number 23 (the pub used to be called Enigma but I think it’s new name is Enigma 23 or just 23). My son was born on 2003.11.23, etc. Here’s an example of the synchronicity I encounter:
On the evening of 2023.03.11 I was watching a documentary (Collapse, based on J. Diamond’s book). At some point during the movie I look at the microwave clock for some reason (not a conscious decision), the clock was showing “23:22“, I look back at the TV and now it’s showing a bunch of signs in a row with number 23 on them (it looked like a train station).
The movie ends and the length of the movie shown at the bottom [of the media player] catches my eye. It was 1:33:33. I close the player and I’m in Windows Explorer which is set up to show the details by default so it shows the modification date of files along with the name, type and size. It shows 2010.11.23 3:33 for the modification timestamp of the movie filename.
Note that it appears the movie file was modified on my son’s birthday (as noted, he was born 2003.11.23). Later I check where in the movie the scene with the number 23 occurs – it’s exactly 4 minutes and 33 seconds before the end.
