What Is the Meaning of This Experience?

A personal story in the experience: I Had a Strange Experience

On my recent trip, I was visiting a town called Keimoes in the Northern Cape of South Africa. This particular day (30th of June) I have noticed a church in this small town. It was an old missionary church (Roman Catholic) and it looks if it was not in use any more. I stopped there and suddenly noticed the time on the tower of the church. The time on that clock was 13 minutes past one in the afternoon. It was strange to me because I was wondering if that that old clock of the church is still working. I looked at my time on my wristwatch which also displayed the time 13:13. I felt a little strange with it but stayed there for another ten minutes. After ten minutes the time on the church was still thirteen minutes past one. I looked at my wrist watch but the time 13:23. I realized that the clock of the church is not working anymore.

Was this just a coincidence that I stopped at this old church at thirteen minutes past one or does it tells me something else? Strange indeed.

I am sure I originally read this on Experience Project and kept a copy of it.
The number sequence of 1313 indicate a cosmic Yes! - these thoughts are on your path.
I dont know if that makes any sense to you, but I found the number sequences interesting. Such as the times you wake up in the night and see the digital clock and its frequently the same time. It's supposed to mean something. The website is http://www.spiritual-path.com/numerology.htm

That is a bizarre, creepy experience. I wouldn't know what to make of it. I'm not into numerology or anything like that. Personally, I think only you are capable of knowing what it means.

I might interpret it as meaning that you're right where you need to be, when you need to be. In other words, the person you are and whoever you're becoming is (or rather, was) right on tract. But then again, that definition might not make any sense at all...

I believe it means the Universe says Yes. In other words you are on the right track or travelling along the correct path in life. Some people often refer to the Universe where religious people might refer to God. You were probably in the right place at the right time.

This is why I love Synchronicity, I had just made the above comment, when I came across by accident seconds later, (I always have two or more browsers open at the same time and strangely I had lost my Experience Project page and when I opened it up again there was the story by DancesWithDolphins about numerology). I read it and she is talking about numerology and describes the sequences of numbers. She also refers to the very same web site that I mentioned in my first comment to you. Life is strange isn't it, but that is why I believe that there are no such things as coincidences, things are just meant to be. I also believe that we need to open our eyes and take note as there are so many clues to put us on the right path, the right answer is usually there for us.

Thank you Andrette. I have one more comment, this site is really worth reading. http://www.crystalinks.com/synchronicity.html

I also found this part to be so true, "Not all synchronicities are positive. Do be careful. Sometimes they create major learning lessons."
