A memory of that day is embedded in our memory banks, and the moment you see the time nine-eleven on your watch, a clock, a screensaver, or a scoreboard-that day is recounted. A timeline of events is created by us internally, as to what was transpiring to us that day, in September.
Try it. Say the time 9:11.....nine-eleven. It works every single time.
There are 365 days in a year-that is 365 times we will see 9:11 in the morning.
