'I Am One With The World'

Finally today after nearly three weeks of travelling, my 'World Ring' arrived in the mail, having journeyed all the way from sunny Perth. I am enraptured with the concept of this ring. It has been designed to provide a channel to connect people with people and loop each individual together through experiences and sharing. Each ring infuses the perceptive, balancing and healing energies of the ancient fine metal of silver with the powerful master number 11 to remind its wearer to have a conscious awareness of life and their journey through it. It is suggested that each wearer of a ring, who will have been given the next consecutive number, will participate in the initiative of sharing 11 experiences had whilst wearing the ring. 

I purchased the ring only three days before leaving Perth on my one way adventure; however it had to be specially made and then delivered. I had been to breakfast with my wonderful and stunning friend Lynn and we were strolling the streets of North and East Perth, both discussing the mutual constant urge to add to our respective ring collections. Lynn took me into an intriguing store along Perth's Beaufort Street - Behind the Monkey (www.behindthemonkey.com) - and being a quiet Monday we had the opportunity to chat with the owner, a spiritual and stylish woman named Elaine who mentioned the concept of The World Ring to us. The next number happened to be 22, which coincidentally holds a great deal of personal significance to Lynn, a fellow wanderlust global nomad who is also exceptionally good at spending money. We both decided then and there that we must each have a ring, and it would be something the two of us could use to remember both one another and the remarkable world that we live in. The number assigned to me was number 23, and it came with the following written passage describing the importance of the number:

"The number 23 when reduced holds the power of the single number of 5. As such it will take you on an energetic, adventurous and daring journey. This beautifully unpredictable number is always I. Motion and in needs of change. It is a number that can take risks and will adjust to change with versatility, adaptability and tolerance. This is not a conventional number. It is a prime number and the only prime number that consists of two consecutive prime numbers - a true individual! 

With the aligned energies also of the number 2 - sensitive, peacemaking and patient and of the creative, imaginative artistic number 3 the number 23 ring will want to experience everything in life!

There is also a curious and somewhat superstitious enigma to the number 23 - and that "all things happen in fives, or are divisible by or are multiples of five, or are somehow directly or indirectly appropriate to five - as is The Law of Fives." The 23 Enigma is regarded as part of this law - that is most events are directly connected to the number 23. 

This is a number of personal freedom, artistic creativity and one that seeks companionship."
