| The "23 Enigma" is the Discordian belief that all | | | | those out, only the one that is significant gets |
| events are connected to the number 23, given | | | | recognized. I also do this with 1:38 daily. 138 has |
| enough ingenuity on the part of the interpreter. | | | | become such a thing with me and my wife that she |
| The idea behind this is to get you to think. Have you | | | | wats the number tattooed and is always saying, |
| ever bought a new car, and then suddenly realized | | | | "Play the lotto!". |
| that every other car on the road seems to be just | | | | What this means is something bigger though. There is |
| like yours!? Or found out about a new band, and then | | | | information, concepts, theories, etc., that when we |
| realize that they are everywhere, you can't escape | | | | hear them, we overlook them, or just nod our head |
| the song!? | | | | in a zombie-like fashion. But had we just learned that |
| That's idea behind 23. There is no real meaning, | | | | concept, it would stand out as a strange coincidence |
| obviously, it's a random number. But what it | | | | that we are hearing it again. The simple fact is that |
| represents is something huge. | | | | we now understand it, it's not the first time we had |
| We take in information from all around us every day, | | | | access to the information, it's the first time that it |
| but what we don't realize is that a lot of this | | | | wasn't filtered out! |
| information seems to be edited out if it means | | | | Based on this, I bet you recognize the number 23 |
| nothing to us. Everyone has tunnel vision. Within our | | | | the next time it is in your visual range. But more than |
| world some things are of great importance to us, | | | | that, experiment… look up something on Wikipedia, |
| some less, and some things we don't know about. | | | | read all about it. Then follow up by finding more |
| The things that we don't know about are ALL | | | | information on another site. Now that you have |

| The cars on the road are the same cars that were | | | | friend, a radio DJ, someone behind you in line... |
| there the day before; you just had no reason to | | | | someone will be talking about the thing you just |
| notice them. That song has played in the same room | | | | learned about. |

| centered on Halloween and 1031. So now I notice | | | | realize that it's impossible to even comprehend the |
| 1031 everywhere, I tend to look at the clock at | | | | amount of the information that you have edited out |
| exactly 10:31 regularly. I might have looked at the | | | | in a lifetime. "Reality Tunnel" truly does seem to be a |
