I see the number 56 also all the time, my birthday is dec 3 1956 and so I too will be 56 in Dec 2012. Which reduces to completion. I believe I have Karma ending on this date. I associated it as being a good thing. A message from my departed Mother, as it represents my birth year.

I also happen to gaze at the clock and see the time X:56... then I started to search for its meaning. I pray that this does not mean something at all. My faith is stronger than anything that controls outside our being.

Yes this number is driving me crazy, i always happent to look at the clock at X:56, my locker number is 56, my Boy scout troop is 156, what the heck dose the number mean. The only thing that kinda scares me is that 5+6=11, meaning chaos, and judgment!
