My father did not take vacations for many years, and now he said he was very tired.
Then I even burst into tears.
Daddy, what kind of fools you and mom were!
Igor took the boys to school and went to work, saying he would be late, since he had classes with third-year students and an autopsy…
Again I stumbled upon Taska's book. She gave it to me when she went by to St. Petersburg for a couple of days on her way to Amsterdam and Hanover.
The book was written by some great Australian numerologist.
Yeah!
David Phillips…
For three hours I was dealing with our numbers and arrows.
That's interesting!
I tried to calculate my control number:
04/23/1985 = 4 + 2 + 3 + 1+9 + 8 + 5 = 32!
It turned out to be the opposite of 23[7]…
Then: 3 + 2 = 5.
The control number is 5.
And if you add the numbers of our year of birth:
1 + 9 + 8 + 5 = 23!!!
(Again!)
Then I wrote out a description of people whose control number was 5:
«Most of these people have a hard time working on a fixed schedule. If they are still forced to do this, they always see this as the fault of their boss and, as a result, suffer from illnesses caused by stress. They should find work that would allow… becoming a freelance writer or artist…»
And this one is exactly about Taska:
«…Many of them have a strong craving for adventure and willingly go on trips…
Impressions from travels and past experiences, acquired with wisdom and awareness, may turn out to be the most valuable ways to achieve freedom and enlightenment…»
«…The main driving force in everything they do is love for people…»
How is that?
I don't know how, but this author knows exactly what he is writing about!
I tried to draw personality arrows…
Looks like a tic-tac-toe!)))
Phew!
Everything's all right here!
We've got at least two arrows:
ARROWS OF EMOTIONAL EQUILIBRIUM: 2-5-8
«… The balanced sensitivity of people with this Arrow helps them understand the needs and attitudes of others. This ability can be perfectly used in work related to counseling and treatment…»
ARROWS OF DECISION: 9-5-1
«…Decisiveness underlies all the actions of these people…
One of the most difficult lessons for such people is the acceptance of the fact that not all of the plans will be implemented…»
In your most surreal dreams
I rely on common ground…
I will hold it up while I'm here
In the morning I'll write it down…
As I build my ephemeral bridge,
I approach the appointed day…
My emotions are put into canvas,
Taking pain and migraine away…
You believe me… Although in fact
This is witchcraft, or sorcery…
You don't think about number six
crossing all of its mysteries…
I don't like number twenty three
I would rather prefer twenty nine…
So that, dropping the pearl flare free
shadows stop saying goodbye…
One thousand thousand in this city
is struggling desperately through
if you don't care about the crisis, —
honey is still that sweet to you…
I recognized you once I saw you
for twenty years the ghostly trace
of railway stations made for noone
has been outstretched in twisted race…
Dark circles under the lashes phrases and words in a fuss…
It just could not happen with us it could happen without us…

The Mirror Theory
The reference point has always been important to me.
When I first realized myself and thought about who I am, I began to analyze. Why events take place in such a sequence and lead precisely to such a definite ending?
After all, there are a lot of options to develop a particular life scheme. It all depends… On what kind of transport you got to work, whether the janitor stopped you to ask what time it was. It depends on everything. Moreover, there are moments that involve not only you in this scheme, but also capture other people.
This is the turning point.
Of course, you ignore them, trying not to notice. Not to notice that for someone you have become the center of the universe, at least temporarily. You can leave, change your name… But the feeling that you did not take your chance, got scared or confused will haunt you for the rest of your life. And then your internal monologues will begin like this: «If only I could then imagine…» or «God damn it, I even saw a sign!..»
Everyone calls her Taska. Of course, it's Eva's fault. She was the first to say «Taska» for some reason. And now Tatyana responds to this strange and ancient name. Personally, I like to call her Tanya, but she always shrugs so funny when she hears her name. For nine years, she hasn't gotten used to it…
Now I'm thinking about her again. I am sure that she recalls me too. We have a telepathic connection. When we call up, the phone is always busy. It's us, calling each other at the same time. We even agreed that if the line is busy, she drops her call and waits for mine. We are a perfect couple.

Number 23 is credited with magical features. According to numerologists. it often accompanies mystical events and the end of ordinary phenomena.
It is also associated with the number 5 (2 + 3), which in numerology symbolizes risk, lack of stability, unpredictability, desire to get away from routine. Famous number researchers include William Burroughs, Robert Anton Wilson and others.
Those interested in the number 23 try to celebrate its appearance in ordinary life.
They often analyze both historical events and the lives of prominent people, as well as everyday routines to provide evidence of the unusualness of this number. Moreover, if they do not find the number directly, they add up the numbers, or digits in the numbers using the numerological technique until they get 23, for example:
♦ The prime number 23 is formed by the first two prime numbers 2 and 3 in the row, that is, the first even and first odd numbers in the natural series.
♦ There are 23 letters in the Latin alphabet.
♦ Euclidean geometry is built on 23 axioms.
♦ The symbol of vanadium, the 23rd element of the periodic table is V (that is, Roman 5, in other words 2 + 3).
♦ The cycle of physical biorhythms of a person lasts 23 days. According to the tantriks, sexual cycle of men lasts the same.
♦ There are 23 joints in the human hand.
♦ A person has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
♦ In the spiral of genetic «instructions» of DNA, inexplicable «failures» – irregularities in the structure – appear every 23 angstroms.
♦ The full cycle of blood circulation, that is, the time during which the blood runs through the entire human body, is 23 seconds.
♦ The Great Patriotic War lasted exactly 1,418 days, which is: 1 + 4 + 1 + 8 = 14; 1 + 4 = 5; 5 = 2 + 3. Or 1 + 4 + 18 = 23, 14 + 1 + 8 = 23, 14 + 18 = 32, the opposite of 23.
♦ Titanic, the largest ship of its time recognized as unsinkable, with a displacement of 46 (2x23) thousand tons, sank due to a collision with an iceberg that occurred at 23:40 on April 14, 1912. (04/14/1912) 4 + 1+4+1+ 9 + 1 + 2 = 22. It was his first and last journey. 22 + 1 = 23. On board the ship there were 2207 passengers (2 + 2 + 7 = 11), of which only 705 (7 + 5 = 12) survived the disaster. 11 + 12 = 23.
♦ John Dillinger robbed 26 banks, but took the money only in 23 of them. He was shot dead at the Chicago Theater, located at 2323 Clark Street. Another crime star, Arthur Flengenheimer, better known as German Schulz, died on October 23, 1935. A year before his death, Schultz paid for the contract killing of a rival competitor Call named the Raging Dog, who was shot dead at the age of 23. On the day of Schulz's death, Crompierre, Harlem's king of criminals, was wounded and at the time of his arrest told the police a cryptic phrase: «It seems to be one of those coincidences.» Schultz's killer, Charlie Workman, served his sentence for 23 years, after which he was released on probation.
♦ Each 23rd coastal wave is twice the size of the average wave.
♦ The Earth's axis makes a full circle in about 23 thousand Earth years, and its inclination relative to the plane of rotation of the planet is slightly more than 23 degrees.
♦ Researchers of asteroids note that the minimum period of rotation of an asteroid around its own axis should be 2.3 hours – otherwise a small planet is simply torn apart.
♦ The fire at the recently flooded Mir-23 space station, from which the problems of the Russian spacecraft began, occurred on February 23, 1997. The fire destroyed 23 oxygen tanks. It wasn't better with Soviet space exploration: the first Soyuz spacecraft was launched on April 23, 1967, and on September 23 of the same year transferred the first photographs of the Earth to the International Space Station. The first orbital station was launched on April 23, 1971.
♦ For many years, the largest number of meetings between people and aliens were reported on April 23, and the number of «aliens» who sowed the spores of life on planet Earth, according to ufologists, was 23…
