I realized even if only one or two people get my first book, that's good enough, because it helps me judge not the quantity of customers, but the quality. Something I should have learned a long time ago, when I first sold my music in Bandcamp. Doesn't matter if you're a starving artist or an entertainer drowning in money, as long as some people love your work, that's what mattered. I used to believe that before slight greed and insecurity took over me. Not to mention my pension for getting involved in so much drama as well as my baggage, clouding my mind, body and soul from my personal truth.
That said, regarding my book, that was my intention, have at least one person read it and whether they like it or not, that's fine. But if they did like it, they'd tell their circles why they like it and either they'd be interested in reading or tell that person that they and to an extent the author (me) is full of shit. Strangely enough when I wanted to do non-fiction that was the kind of reaction good or bad. One of the few times I would accept criticism without defense because that would be how I reacted if someone else gave me that book 12 years ago. One of the few times a negative moment would make me genuinely laugh.
Anywho. Because I managed to get at least 2 people interested in reading, it's enough to expand on it. I have many ideas for my next book on the subject, but they are more or less a few mental cliff notes. For example I wanted to do further expansion on certain rules. Not just experience, but mainly to dive further into it. For those interested in the rules for context click here. But essentially the rules are rule 5 and 6. #5, Truth is Stranger stranger than fiction. #6, Incorporate your superstitions. Now it's a bit awkward to spoil my own work sometimes, but spoiler alert.
Regarding 5, part of why I originally started CIEIR in the first place, was so that I could find the truth in fictional mediums. Whether it was something small as tech similar to Star Trek (Communicators being the pioneer for Cell Phones) or trying to see if possible certain people existed in real life under different names. So I wanted to dive deeper into the world of fiction and list off all the times they either proved things true or predicted the future. So I may dedicate a chapter or even a book for each rule if I have to for those who like further reading. Including these rules.
Regarding Rule 6, as a joke in the book I made up a superstition based on my own personal life. Has no bearing towards family or friends or even my own superstition. However I also listed some of the known superstitions, just to get people interested in talking about their own or if they had similar. That and recently I've been noticing signs from even older superstitions. Specifically Angel numbers.
Now I find the concept of Angel Numbers as well as Angels is interesting, but for a while I never quite understood the full meaning of them. Despite the Christian name for them, they are well rooted in other religions, including but not limited to Wicca. As the Wiccans often sometimes invoke the Archangels at all four corners to better invoke the magic in their rituals. In fact, the concept of Angels alone is rather interesting as some would depict them as humanoid beings that bring light and love to those that prayed for them, others try to do a take that is considered biblically accurate. But the one thing that amazes me more than these depictions is that, right down to certain numbers, if feels maybe we been watched in some way or another. Be it by actual divinities or by people whom firmly believe so strongly in them, that right down to the numbers, they'd place them all over all aspects of their life. That only those that believe in it or believe in similar concepts would be able to decode. It's even routed in science because certain numbers mean a lot and be it by coincidence or the divine, end up factoring into various equations and other number related shit that could very well affect your life, whether you're aware or not. Even the very digital clock on your phones, often shows even if they happen to be times on your schedule, they happen to be the right numbers you need to see at the right time to boot. For those that don't remember, back when we relied on Hand Clocks, the clock represents how the world turns. Our planet turns at least 1000 miles per hour. If one were to be able to stand at the right spot for at least 8 hours, morning to night. You'd be able to see the sun rise and set. If you look at it properly, without risking burning your eyes, you'd also notice that it reacts the same way as an hour hand to a clock. With the sun directly over your head signifying High Noon. So 8 x 1000 equals 8000 miles for a third of the day. Whereas in the full day, it's 24 000 miles every 24 hours. With the minute hand and second hand helping you calculate the minutes and seconds it takes for us to spin all the way around. After realizing this myself, the angel numbers on my own clock, started to make more sense to me.
To give a glimpse of my personal and spiritual life, I used to see recurring numbers on a clock. You probably seen these numbers before and either dismissed them as coincidence or if you do believe it's like a sense that depending on the numbers, it could mean something good or something bad. In my case these are the following numbers I see on my clocks or others:
- 11:11
- 12:34
- 9:11......not that 9/11, but you never know. Considering people think Nostradamus predicted that one.
But to sum it up. They're the most prominent of many Angel Numbers. 1111 meaning you're on the right path. 1234 meaning the universe is aligned with your thoughts and intentions. 911 meaning that your thoughts, actions and decisions. Which as fucked as it sounds explained a whole lot why those guys crashed those towers and the Pentagon. They thought they were serving a higher purpose, but basically interpreted their own messages the wrong way. They picked that date, because they were certain that something was on their side, when in actuality, all it did was prompt the world to take action against them. Showing who's side whatever's up there if anything is.
Anywho, since I was able to figure out the meanings of the numbers, in various aspects of my life, I started seeing more numbers whenever I look at the clock. Many numbers saying I'm going the right direction and since they've worked pretty well so far, I think I'll keep following them.
But that's just one idea for the next book/s.
The others I want to delve into the more pseudo-religions and how fictional fandom could equate to religion. Such as Superfans like the Trekkies and the Warsies. As well as delve into the Anti-Religions, including but not limited to Satanism, mainly to study and see what their worth is and if they're worth putting into the book.
That said, comment below, if you ever seen strange numbers that resonated with your life one way or another. They could be on a clock, a receipt or even two or more random numbers popping up on TV or even the buildings in public. For they could mean a lot of things.

Well I been looking up Angel Numbers lately. So I looked into this one. https://www.astrology.com/numerology/angel-numbers/65-meaning This site tells all the meanings of the numbers from life, to love, to career, to spiritual journey all that jazz.
But there are many sites. The main thing is a lot and at the very least all the known numbers in the world are Angel Numbers. Even obsessive numbers like 23 or lucky numbers like 12 and 13 are Angel Numbers. The main point is that they are numbers that resonate with one's life and one's beliefs.
