      What man is at ease in his Inn?
      Get out.
      Wide is the world and cold.
      Get out.
      Thou hast become an in-itiate.
      Get out.
      But thou canst not get out by the way thou camest in. 
      The way out is THE WAY.
      Get out.
      For OUT is Love and Wisdom and Power.
      Get OUT.
      If thou hast T already, first get UT.
      Then get O.
      And so at last get OUT.

==== 23 Frequency Enigma ====


'
=== Alphabet ===
  * Latin Alphabet  
    * E is the fifth letter of the alphabet, and also the most commonly used in the English language. W is the 23rd letter of the alphabet. Half of W is V, which is the roman numeral for 5. Once again, therefore, the inherent connection between 5 and 23 is proven. Relent ye skeptics!
    * The letter W
        * W is the 23 letter of this alphabet. The symbol for that letter is two points down and three points up.
        * It is the only letter in the English language to be renounced polysyllabically. Note also that it is a double(2)-u and thati t has three(3) syllables.
        * It is also the shape a woman's legs form while copulating in the missionary position. W is also the first letter in the names of many important historic figures (Washington or Weishaupt for example).
    * There are 23 letters in the Latin alphabet
  * Hebrew  
    * The 4th character of the hebrew alphetbet has a numerical value of 6
    * the pronunciation of this character (vav) (pronuonced v-o-u) is pronounced very similarly to the letter www therefore our www is (23letter) (23letter) (23letter) is like 666 in hebrew however in hebrew language this is 6+6+6 so it is 18. 23-5 =18 thus fitting in with the law of fives also (number of the beast connects to 23 and 5 and even the world wide web neat huh 


=== Astronomy ===
  * Asteroid researchers measuring the rotation periods of asteroids reported that none were found with periods of less than 2.3 hours. A rotation period of less than 2.3 hours would cause them to be torn apart. I dunno, physics.
  * The axis of the planet Earth is 2.3 degrees. As it is above, so below.
  * March 23, 1997: The comet Hale Bopp was at her closest point to Earth, 123 million miles.

  * Male Sex Cycle: 23 days in the male sex cycle (according to Tantrists 
  * 69 (23*3) is one of the many loved sexual positions of humans. The Zodiac sign for Cancer looks like a sideways 69. Cancers are born between June 21 and July 21 and 21+2 (the number of characters in 69)=23
  * The number of joints in the human arm is 23.
  * The human biorhythm cycle is generally 23 days. One measures a circle beginning anywhere.
  * It takes 23 seconds for blood to circulate through the human body.

  * 63 years, the average lifespan of a human being on the planet Earth, is roughly 23,000 days.
 

=== Brands and Signs ===
  * Rolling Rock beer labels have a mysteriously marketed "33" (2 3's) on the back of every bottle. Sure they have an innocent story about the number of letters and blah blah, but what's the real Masonic meaning behind all this?
  * There are 23 buildings on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington.
  * Nissan is a brand of Japanese cars. In Japanese, "ni" is 2, and "san" is 3. (Although '23' is 'nijuusan' 
  * Pepsi  
    * Calories: 150 = one 5 Carbohydrates: 41 = 5 As % Daily Value: 14% = 5 Sugars: 41g = 5 1 Can: 12Fl (355 mL) = two 5s, 1, 3, &amp; 2: 1(3+5) = 5, = three 5's. The Pepsi sigil is a corruption of the Holy Chao... also directly to the left of the ingredients you'll find a bold "K" = Kallisti?
    * The advertisement Security Camera, in which a Coke worker tries to take a Pepsi in a convenience store and knocks down the shelf, displays the time in the upper right hand corner as 6:23.

  * There are 23 chapters of the Cult Awareness Network.
  * Church of the Process: Famed church, espoused by Skinny Puppy and Psychic TV, which regards 23 as a special number of great significance.
  * Church of Zypgx: 7.32 is the Holy Number of the First Church of Zypgx, which gives all of its members a number between 7.32 and 8. (7 being the number of luck, 32 being 23 backwards and 8 being approximately the symbol for infinity. 3.1415 is of course, the mathematical enigma which is pi. Multiply these two numbers and you get almost exactly 23. The followers of the First Church of Zypgx also believe that when pi is found to the last decimal place, the number of their Savior times exact pi will be precisely 23. And you thought the Heaven's Gate people were a bit kooky?
  * Level of ONE: The newest front society of the Illuminated, the 23rd level of the ONE is reported to be the last level attainable (achieving departure from Earth). Remind you of something else?
  * Knights Templar  
    * October 13 (10+13=23) is the month and day that the Knight Templars were arrested in France... hence Friday the 13th being considered a day of bad luck. Amazing how it all starts to fit together, isn't it?
    * The Templars had only 23 Grandmasters. Jacques de Molay was the 23rd and last of the Templar Grandmasters. "Jacques de Molay, thou art unhinged!"
 
  
      
=== Dates ===
  * 1723 A.D. The year that Adam Weishaupt (cf your nearest American one dollar bill) revived the Illuminati. The 23 is 2+3=5, going to the Law of Fives. The 17 is also interesting, as 1+7=8, 2 to the 3rd power = 8. Eight is also the number of letters in the Kallisti, Hail Eris!
  * On January 23, 1968 the USS Pueblo was hijacked off of North Korea. The crew was held exactly 11 months until December 23, 1968 when they were released after being beaten by soviets to give back an intercepted USSR message stating plans to start a nuclear war with Red China.
  * Adolf Hitler organized the National Socialist Congress on January 23. On November 23 he tried to take over.
  * April 19th, As in 4-19... 4 + 19 = 23. April 19 is the date the Battle of Lexington, Waco, and the Oklahoma City Bombing... (4+19=23). You connect the dots!
  * Shakespeare was born on April 23, 1564 and died on April 23, 1616.
  * The day Tim Leary died, June 1, 1996  provides 6+1+1+9+9+6=32
  * June 15th, 1904 (19 + 04 = 23) The date the ship "General Slocum" catches fire and over a thousand die.
  * June 16th, 1904 (19 + 04 = 23) The day James Joyce uses in Ulysses, who mentions the General Slocum disaster the day before repeatedly within this book.
  * July 23  
    * Sumerian and Egyptian New Years.
    * 1996 "Mysterious Eyes" of comet Hale-Bopp first sighted.
    * More reported UFO sightings on this day than any other day of the year.
  * August 23  
    * 1305. The day William Wallace, whose life is fictionalized in the movie Braveheart, was executed for treason to the crown by leading a Scottish revolt. Interestingly, this was the pre-cursor to the underground Knights Templar refugees' involvement with Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn. Now it's starting to make sense, isn't it?
    * 1970. Birth date of River Phoenix, actor. Died of drug overdose, "You call him Dr. Bones, doll!"
    * 1995. David Gottel, a member of Skinny Puppy, died. Huh.
  * September 23  
    * Rosicrucian (AMORC): Annual Outdoor Fete is held on September 23, when the sun enters the sign of Libra.
    * The Fall Equinox.
    * Yom Kippur.

    * 1956. The day the Hungarian revolution began against the Russians (Not to be confused with many previous Hungarian revolutions).
    * 4004 BCE. Supposed date of God's creation of the world. Thus the 6th Millennium is truly this year. Pa-arrrrrrrrrr-ty!
  * November 22, 1963 The day Kennedy was shot.
  * November 24, 1963 The day Oswald was allegedly shot.
  * December 23  
    * 1805. Birth date of Joseph Smith, founder of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or as the better marketed name, Mormons).
    * 1913. Passage of the Federal Reserve Act by 3 members of Congress, 2 of which were stockholders of the parent firms of the Federal Reserve Bank.
    * 2012. The date the Mayans believed the world will end. Hence why they were really obsessed with time and it's observance. A huge cycle ends in the Mayan calendar. 
    [[Terence McKenna]] thinks the Eschaton will Immanetize. Other theories suggest the ice caps, having become wobbly from the gravitational pull exerted by the alignment of FIVE planets directly opposing the earth on 5-5-2005, will cause the crust of the earth to slip over the soggy innards, causing the ice caps to melt, and new ones to form. Of course, this will cause massive flooding, earthquakes, and general mayhem. All because the earth is slightly tilted, averaging about 23.5 degrees! (Refer to Graham Hancock's Fingerprints of the Gods for more background on this phenomenon. It ties in the Egyptians and other ancient civilizations, Atlantis, Osiris, star-charts, geological evidence, and hard physical evidence of the remnants of a lost, technologically superior pre-historic race.)
    * 679. The date that Dagobert II, a Merovingian King was murdered. Speculation, derived from the research of the highly controversial book entitled Holy Blood, Holy Grail, leads one to conclude this assassination was performed in connivance with the Catholic Church. The church leaders, unhappy with Dagobert's apparent policy of religious tolerance in his kingdom, located in the south of France, allegedly got him out of the way to best serve their own interests. A predecessor of Dagobert, Clovis, had an alliance with the Catholic church, so it is possible that church leaders saw Dagobert's actions as a betrayal of what was considered a long standing policy of pro-Catholic reforms.

  * Burrough's 23 Enigma. In the early '60's in Tangiers, William Burroughs knew a certain "Captain Clark" who ran a ferry from Tangiers to Spain. One day, Clark said to Burroughs that he'd been running the ferry 23 years without an accident. That very day the ferry sank, killing Clark and everyone aboard. In the evening, Burroughs was thinking about this when he turned on the radio. The first newscast headlined the crash of an airline plane on the New York-Miami route.

  * The axis of the Earth (which currently points vaguely at Polaris) describes a circle in the heavens (switching off 'pole stars' and sometimes going without) over a period of 23,000 years. Precision, as this motion is called, also accounts for talk of our entering the Age of Aquarius (we entered the age of Pisces around the era of the birth of the historical Jesus).

    * The trump cards, or the Major Arcana of the Tarot represent a cycle, or wheel. The cards are 22 in number, "beginning" with the fool and "ending" with the universe. But, as the standard musical scale of western music is an octave (seven notes (ABCDEFG) with the first repeated as the last (ABCDEFGA) to represent the progressive cycle of the musical scale), the 22 trumps, when arranged with the fool at the "beginning and end", actually form a cycle of 23.
    * There is no 23rd card in the Major Arcana.
    * 2 is the number of balance, 3 is the number of synergy and 5 is the number of strife in the Tarot deck. Presumably, therefore, if things always changed, or if things never changed we would be all right, but when both happen, we experience troubling times.
  * Two (2) and Three (3) are next to each other in our numbering system. (e.g. 1,2,3... )
  * In the Qabalistic Tree of Life the 23rd path is associated with the Hanged Man Tarot Card. Aleister Crowley also states that this card represents the concept that the only way OUT is WITHIN!
  * The I Ching Hexagram 23 means "Break Apart". Telegrapher's use 23 as the code for "break the line".
  * Supposedly there are 2,300 stones comprising the Great Pyramid.
 

==== Ufo ====
  * 23 Annunaki, the number of the original advance team of "aliens" who aided in the seeding of life on this planet.
  * Area 51: Secret aircraft! UFOs! Groom Lake! Gift Shops! 23+23+(2+3)=51.
  * Regarding UFOs, the myth-inspiring Hangar 18 is yet another alien parts store. (23-5=18
