Merlin Christ Buddha & Synchronicity

Christ Buddha Merlin

I have been aware for a number of years that many statues of the buddha depict him/her in white and red robes, and was aware of the correspondence with the traditional image of Christ Jesus depicting "the Sacred Heart of Jesus" in which he wears white and red robes. So when creating a new "Merlin" myspace profile and choosing an image i was naturally drawn to the one depicting Merlin in white and red robes. I do not know the significance any ideas ?

Synchronicity

I first became aware of the concept of synchronicity when i was about 18 and read "the Illuminatus" by Robert Anton Wilson ,I later read the Celestine Prophesy by James Redfield.
I was actually awakened to synchronicity by the 23 enigma in my early 20's ;-) I remember an incident with my girlfriend of the time we had been experimenting with "the coital alignment technique" and experienced what i can only describe as telepathy , at the height of the passion we looked at our clock it was 2:30am then my girlfriend looked at the Spiral Tribe poster on the wall and exclaimed it's a 23,
There are lots of explanations of the enigma but one of the rarest is it relationship to an African deity (whose name i don't know) that represents the strength and positivity than can arise from war and conflict. Perhaps this is similar to the concept of "breaking apart" in the i ching or the numerolgical explantion of 23 as a completion of a cycle (those experts on the tarot may be able to enlighten us.)
