Title: 27
Post by: Mr. Peabody on November 05, 2019, 02:28:31 pm
For a long while I have been 'marking time'. (definition (https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Marking+Time)). Exhilaration has come mostly through myself, and I have been withdrawing from the human world. In THE ILLUMINATUS it reads, "If 27 is the end, 23 is the beginning..." In the last year, 27 has shown itself to me with frequency. It signals a zenith. I relish the day - yet look to night. To sleep. To Dream.


PS: a couple months ago I watched Knowing (2009). Suggested by Netflix I don't know why. I don't watch disaster/armageddon/psychic/etc movies. The description was minimal, and it starred Nick Cage, but the idea I was curious about. Still, I had been putting it off for a couple months. One night I felt I was ready - yet was DIS-interested in the characters, and almost bailed until the scene where he is figuring out some of the number sequences equal dates. Hmmm. I said out loud, "No numbers for me (in focus) yet!"....one, two, bam: 270.
The other attached images are of other encounters - and pbj's closing of the last game play thread ((::p).  (I recently stopped the first folder, begun last year, at 2327 items when I noticed it had that number.....)

pbj had no clue...what he was getting himself....into.


good bye

look for something hard enough, you will surely find it.

44 for me.

I see it everywhere.

It doesn't help that in Cantonese (and chinese superstition), the number 4 is synonymous with 'death'.  Put two 4's together and you got Double Death.

I feel like this is could be a premise for a Final Destination sequel.

There was a Jim Carrey movie about this a few years ago. It was terrible.

The way our brains are wired we all have a natural tendency to search for patterns even when there are none.   It explains this, why we see shapes in clouds, Jesus in tortillas, ect.  The frustrating thing is, even knowing this we can't turn it off.  The solution is to play more video games.... it's the solution to most of life's problems.  ;)

Not to freak you out, but every time I see a numbered list of at least 30 things, 27 shows up.

Every. Single. Time.   :o

Now if they were higher than me I would be concerned :)

I'm fascinated by the number 3 so here is a Maths question

3 cubed + 3 x 3 - 3 squared x 3 + 3 x 3 - 3 + 3 + 3/3 - 3/3 +3x3/3 + 3x3 - 3x3/3

I don't know about numbers, but i've had an awful lot of street lights go out as I approach them in my car.
every paranormal wack-a-do agree's a demon is following you when that happens.

I assume cheap ballasts but just in case, should I take a priest to the power wash so he can bless the water before I wash it?

Damn, that's a Demon following , There I was thinking that lights going on and off was something trying to communicate using morse code,  Definitely take a priest to the power wash. And garlic, lots of garlic.

so last night on the way home there were 3 cars in front of me and all 3 drove under two street lights that were out.
As soon as I approached each one, the damn thing started flickering and didn't stop until I was past them by 100ft.

Could be my car?
I know the engine cuts out for a second or two EVERY time I drive by a construction worker welding on the street.
It is an all stock 1998 pontiac.
