Pen To Paper

Go away with me

I go away all the time

In my mind at least

My body won't follow

At least I can get lost in my mind

Writing, expressing, exploring and such

Keeping a log, with each new page neatly creased

It's dark and it's solemn, it's lonely and cold

Pen put to paper, it's daring a bold

It's a secret, kind of, what goes on in my head

It's personal, not to be written or said

I can't keep in it, I need to express

Eject from my mind, all this crap in excess

The worry and fret, and fighting the fear

Anxiety and guilt, feeling tho I'm not even here

To write in rhyme to me is soothing

But so FUCKING cliche

Tho making it easier for me to vent

Fuck it, I don't care what you say

23, 23, 23, & YES 23

Here are a few of the things that I have found out about the number 23:



•Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.

•The pattern of DNA shows irregular connections at every 23rd section.

•Humans have 23 vertebra running down the main part of their spines.

•Blood circulates the body on average every 23 seconds.

•The average head of human hair can support 23 tons of weight.

•Measure the circumference of your head in inches and see what you get!

•The golden section, an ancient progression of whole numbers represented by the series 2,3,5,8 etc. is repeated again and again in Nature.

•Biological symmetry also mirrors the importance of the number five [i.e. five main bits spread out like a starfish, arms, legs, head etc., then five fingers, etc.].

•Five (2+3), is an immensely significant number in all ancient and some modern rites and rituals. Take the pentagram and modern [post-Crowley and Chaos] magick.

•The male and female sexual cycles run on different scales. Male cycle: 23 days. Female cycle 28 days [lunar month]. You blokes out there may not know about your sexual cycle but if you were a Tantrist doing your sex magic on a regular basis then you would!

•The I-Ching, practised by Taoist scholars since one thousand BC, uses coins (of which tails value 2 and heads value 3) to create a process of divination that views past, future and present as a whole. Central to the philosophy is the realisation that current reflection and meditation will effect the course of events. The I-Ching provides no set predictions but shows a possible course on one fractal arm of the future.The 23rd hexagram of the I-Ching signifies Chaos, Disintegration. It's a timely reminder that if you create order and take it too far you set the store for it to implode and wipe out what you have been working for, sound familiar? Thus 23 has a strong theme of rejection of modern materialistic values..

•The 23rd crops up around all of the Solstice and Equinox dates, again creating a stronger link between us humans and the Universal forces of nature that act upon us. You can reject and ignore these forces as much as you want but the seasons still affect you more than you can possibly imagine. Now this is something that I WAS aware of and the Solstices have always been a intriguing time for me as they mark the coming and going of the seasons and form a strong link to our ancestors. For them of course these times were of tremendous cosmic and spiritual significance [is there any need to mention Stonehenge?].

•December 23, 2012 is the day the classic Mayans said the world would end.

•The human biorhythm cycle is 23 days long.

•The Harmonic Convergence occurs every 23,000 years.

•Geosynchronous orbit occurs at 23,000 miles above Earth's surface.

Now, up until now I had been thinking somewhat along the lines of this.... "Ok these 23s keep coming round the corner when I least expect them. The one about the 23 pairs of Chromosomes is a good one but maybe the other ones are just reflections of that?"


Then as they all started to add up I thought... "Naahh, there's something spooky going on!"


One of the thoughts that entered my mind [on one of those rare occasions] was that the number 23 was pretty arbitrary, not just in that it could be any number that cropped up, for I am pretty sure that 23 exceeded all percentage tests that you could devise for it. The reason that I think that it was arbitrary is that 23 along with all other numbers is a human creation. After all we made up the number system dividing everything into these bizarre units that have no real scientific explanation.

Einstein once said;  "God doesn't play dice with the Universe". This was a very frim opinion that he held. But I say how the fuck do you know you dead fucker?!?! So It is my firm opinion that no-one should hold firm opinions."



23s for me reminds me to trigger the skeptic mechanism. You shouldn't believe anything you read 'cause for all the convincing references and "proofs", at the end of the day we know Jack Shit. I knoqw JACK SHIT!

BUT BEING THE HYPOCRITE THAT I AM, I STILL FIND 23 IN AND ON EVERYTHING.

Now that I have infected you, see if you don't see 23 at least once a day.



You may argue that you could pick any random number and have the same affect, but I have personally found this to be untrue.



Well OK the end for now.

B + R + O + S + I + A =64
2 + 18+15+19+ 9 + 1 = 64

64/2=32

32 IS 23 TRANSPOSED........
