Did you even read those? Abe Lincoln had an affair with Marilyn Monroe, and his middle name was Bay of Pigs? AND he was a seer of the future in which he saw a potential nuclear war with the future Soviet Union (though it was worded like the S.U. existed then, and so did nukes). Just to name some.
As well, I've said it before: The logic that people attempt when they say "its just coincidence" is flawed, especially when they say "coincidence or not?", like the above. How does that make a lick of sense? Coincidence is a simple description that two or more events or aspects coincide together in a certain way or ways. It really doesn't offer any further explanation. Yes, some of those are coincidences (and some are just hogwash as nukes didn't exist at the time of Lincoln and neither did Monroe), but might there be more to the alignment? Might there be a larger order?
Both presidents as well helped to bring more freedoms to oppressed peoples, significantly.
But pattern recognition did go amok and awry, there- up there. Into complete B.S., with some.
On topic still: I read something recently where scientists believed they might be able to come up with some algorithm or something that would be able to predict the future, based on the past. Perhaps they didn't think it would be so precise, but on the simple idea that scientists consider that there might be a greater pattern to things-- that a better understanding of our past might help us to better predict furture patterns, doesn't that give the idea of synchronicity and order more merit than that that people seem to hold it with, often?
I think if we were high enough to see/if we had enough true history, we might have a different understanding.

In my own history, those females (I'm male) that I considered marriage and that it was on the table with, their names strung together can form the word, "mask", as I found after them. Of course the purpose of life seems to be to continue life, and these were special because they were in that avenue (or what) to me.
Rick- you say all those other times that I don't make it out to be anything (that it is not 11:11 or 23), I simply don't pay mind to, but that I get excited when it does and try to make it something (you only see what your eyes want to see)... This doesn't work for me. Not so simply. These were the only times I had significant relationships, on this very human level. My experience. And when I found the pattern, I was looking for order, finding it seemingly every place, and it made sense to me. And I found that their first names had an average sum of 23 (where z=26, but add 2+6 to get 8, and add as 8, and sew on, as a common method of numerological calculation), this number that I had kept seeing, but not validated personally with such order like then, and the single one I asked to marry me had this sum as her name. This number that was the first number that I paid attention to of numbers as anything more than math stuff or the number of a jersey or counting (not that those aren't important to it)- that I began to see as significant (a feeling) before seeing why, really-- many years before building the memory I have of it. And, the one girl I did ask to marry me (said yes), she is where I began to see, and experience consciously what I call synchronicity. She was an awakening. At her. Like lock and key. Teeth in gears. She had my moms maiden name.
Mask made sense to me.
My first girlfriend in life was Kristin (fourth grade, lasted about two or three days). She and I, I much later in life found share a birthday. My mom went into labor at church, with me. I dated and became semi-close to one girl from that church-- Crystal. The first girl I got naked with was Christina, my next door neighbor growing up (around age 6-7). The first person to go down on me (earlier as I'm jumping around non linear) was Chris... and him me (2nd grade). The first show I watched that could be considered erotica/porn was Emmanuelle (another name used for Christ), and it may have been what I was watching prior to the first time I came. The first time I came with another person was with a girl named Elsa ("God's satisfaction"), in a church parking lot, and she married, years later, Roman. We were listening to track 23 of a Nine Inch Nails album- Nine Inch Nails commonly attached to the idea that the nails used on Christ were nine inches long (23 centimeters).
My first college roommate was a Black guy that preached "Christ", and wanted me to pray with him. It made me uncomfortable. He made me feel bad about smoking pot and things, or tried to. He had a girl pregnant- a girl he was with but then he had other girls stay the night and I think I walked in on him with two different ones in his bed in the first few weeks.
The first friend I made was Christopher Michael White (Mike). He was the first person to catch my eye-- I had an idea that he was a stoner/tripper. We tripped the first night we met, and soon, we decided to room together. I don't remember my first roommate's (Black guy, quarterback at my school, it was interesting, as my first intimate exposure with a Black guy) name.
There at school was when I met Alisha- the 23- the one with my mothers maiden name- the one I asked to marry me. And soon I developed a Christ complex, after that year at school. I had some kind of "awakening". But I really felt a connection. But I didn't know I had all the names of "Krist Cryst Christ" aligned- I hadn't reflected yet, like I have. And I didn't know the future, that I would find more resonance with (and that I will probably fail at describing) in that same image.
I could go on and mention how I met the next girl, and convoluted details... About how the first wedding I took her to was Christi Starr's and Nate Holmes's, and she completed the word, mask, by adding her name, and the first movie we saw together, our first time together (I brought it with me), was about a guy who has to wear a mask, and was really dreaming everything, and in stasis.
Bascally, these times were significant to me. Maybe they are all my eyes want to see, but that's still no explanation for it all, if that is to play it at all down insignificantly. These are all I have seen, and they align beautifully to me. There is more- a lot more, but its probably best I stop on that, for now.

Fences.
My final girlfriend Marilyn (still before the last girl I fell for, though never formed a like relationship, with that one), the last weekend we spent together (we lived hours apart and our time was on weekends mainly), the Friday before I went to see her then I was at work on a project building a fence at a military/homeland security/police training facility. A bee flew under my glove and stung me under my left wrist, and I had an allergic reaction, as I do, to bee venom (and as I've found, a lot of things, more than anyone I know). An allergic reaction of course is an immune response to things "other". My arm swelled up, and hand, and I I remember my heart feeling weak and bones hurting. I was to help her and her dad build a fence there at her house that Saturday. It had been planned for weeks. The first time I would do this outside of work. She let me sleep, because of my reaction. They had help. I woke up toward the end, advised some, where I felt it necessary, and tied the fence to the posts.
That night, we got into a fight, sparked by my perceived differences in races, mainly Black society and White at that moment in time, not trying to be overly general, or racist, but she took me as being racist (its sensitive to even approach), and made it into an argument that they- Blacks were somehow "more evolved" than Whites, saying so in the tone that they were "superior". We had problems communicating. I got pissed when it devolved like that, and said a racist remark, giving up. Immature.
Anyhow, we ended soon after, before I'd see her again. We ended at fences. Things meant to keep other things out. We ended at an argument of Black and White, and differences, and difficulty and tension with examples of difference.
Allergic reactions (bee venom). Masks. And I wear a metaphorical mask. Metaphorical masks. And literal, sometimes, now.
No matter what, I'm going to see symbolism in this. I'm going to appreciate alignment when I see it, as I've tried to lay down. I was an artist. I like certain art. Its the only life I have, and these points, and people, among many others, have been significant to me... unlike many others, which maybe I didn't see. But what I've seen, I like. I'm glad I was with MASK- I'm glad it happened that way (I'm not sure what I'd be without it), and it ended (somewhat) at fence, and an allergic reaction to a bee sting at a defense training place. But I don't quite get it (one reason I write about it).
