You keep seeing 10:10. The pattern finds you. Digital clocks, receipts, timestamps, addresses. Not occasionally. Repeatedly. 1010 works differently than other repeating number patterns. Where 1111 amplifies a single energy (1+1+1+1, unity multiplied) and 1212 steps forward progressively (1-2-1-2, climbing), 1010 does something else. It oscillates. The pattern is 1-0-1-0. Presence, absence, presence, absence. On-off-on-off….

The root chakra, known in Sanskrit as Muladhara,…
