"Numbers are the highest degree of knowledge. They are knowledge itself." Plato

Jed and Auralee worked with numbers. Both studied mysterious secrets hidden beneath numerical rules. Numbers influence and control life. But the numbers weren't working. Auralee felt they created a psychological fiction that only sometimes helps to understand the world.

On 9/11, Auralee awoke at 911. The warning bells rang. Get the Emergency Response Team. At 11:11, she went to the clinic at 1111 Memory Lane. She thought of Remembrance Day, when many of the Allied Countries honour those who fought in both World Wars. Germans do not. They commemorate the loss of lives of the Fallen of the World War: the victims and those they grieve who had been involved in Nazi military aggression, on the national day of mourning, the Volkstrauertag.

Auralee was ready to settle the uncomfortable war she was having with numbers. She decided to try regression therapy. After little prompting Auralee revealed her concerns. "I see repeating numbers and predictable sequence patterns in banal places, like price tags, phone numbers, clocks, or license plates. I think a higher force is telling me something."

The therapist responded, "Synchronicity of numbers implies your conscious is aware of a higher intelligence. Many believe Angel numbers, made of triples or sequences, signal a divine or mystical correlation with the universe. Perhaps your subconscious organizes your awareness of time or certain numbers. Experience leads to associations. What do you associate with numbers?"

Without hesitation Auralee rattled, "One is a sign of new beginnings. Two represents balance, harmony, and alignment. Three, is the holy trinity, past, present and future, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, conscious, subconscious and superconscious. Four represents stability. Five, pivotal change. The Roman numeral V, is the symbol the primordial feminine, Venus. Fetal humans all begin with female genitalia, vulva and vagina. Six represents connectedness. Hexagons allow optimal packing and there are 6 planes of movement. Seven is a lucky number of completeness. Eight is the symbol of infinity. Nine represents completing a goal. Ten is the perfect number. Computers use the logical possibility of Boolean digits, zero and one. Sequences e.g. Fibonacci, Archimedes, logarithmic, and exponential, order the metaphysical realm."

The therapist said, “People often think of a number,word or person, and the next minute get a phone call, or hear the word. Nothing appears coincidental. However, this conclusion holds observer bias. We forget when things don’t happen like we think they should. In regression therapy, we go back to infancy, gestation or trace the lives of a soul currently implanted into the body. The Reincarnation hypothesis is not supported by evidence. It risks implanting false memories."

The clock read 4:11. The therapist said “Let us obtain information from your dreams. Three, two, one, sleep.”

Years later, mother told me about the regression experience. She spoke with the divine architect, known in all cultures. He revealed the time of my conception. When mom and dad were intimate, Mom said, "I felt that," at the predicted time, 12:34. They called me Algebra.
