Number ‘Synchronicity’

Can you believe it? I wrote this same post (that I just posted) back in December 2024 and did not follow through with it! A better post, too.

This is it….

“I love it when I check the time and see that it is 12.12 on the 21st. Always gave me a little tweak of emotional satisfaction to see the patterning. For a long time, for years, I thought that that was synchronicity at play.

A palindrome-like date is good too. The most recent one we had was 24 November 24, or 24/11/24

Mentioning that to a friend, he said it was just co incidence. “And it’s not even that,” he said. “I bet that kind of number confluence”— that is what he called it, I probably should google that for veracity—“happens so often you can’t call it co incidence.”

Of course, I set out to see what’s what and prove either me or him wrong.

I use a twelve hour clock.

12 x 60 = 720 minutes

Set them out in a table, 12 columns across the top left to right; 60 rows top to bottom. 720 cells.

Write in only the numerals where there was a definite pattern.”

Lol, from here on re read my latest on this topic.

Numbers and Synchronicity

Like many people, I enjoy the number play possible for example with such tools as digital clock times. What I’m realy talking about of course, is play with the numerals 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Usually I add or divide them.

Look at all these nines! If you add them all together you get 27, add those two and you get 9 again. If you add only two nines, you get 18 and if you then add 1 and 8 you get another 9. Nothing magic about it, just a pattern inherent in 9 and its processes.

A couple of years ago I went to the trouble of spreadsheeting every minute in twelve hour. 720 minutes, if you are interested. I found that a full third of these minutes have two numerals that are the same.

The above numeral combination is hardly chance, in other words. But even knowing that hasn’t changed my inclination to get excited over these tiny bits of co-incidence.

One of these days, I’ll record every single time I look at the time and see what I get. It feels like it’ll be 50%.

Do you have a relationship with co-incidences?
