What exactly is 99 and what's "Finding 99" all about?? I'm glad you asked...
The concept stems from a philosophy that describes "all things good" as a mass of light - some call it as a deity, a god, whatever - it is just a mass of positive energy (all things good) that is represented as "light".
In our world, this light is shrouded by a thin veil or curtain, that only allows 1% of the light into our daily existence. That 1% is just enough to keep us (humanity) pacified.
There are times however, when we experience feelings of extreme pleasure. This is different for everyone, but could be as simple as getting a nice compliment, laying on a beach in the sun, reconnecting with an old friend. We have all had those moments. It consumes your existence, if even for a few seconds, and is possibly the pinnacle of truly living.
In those moments we are "poking" through the curtain and experiencing the other 99% of the light in all its essence. It fills our mind, body and soul with absolute beauty, warmth and overall blissfullness. This is a real and obtainable state of mind. It is "finding 99".
Imagine if we could live our entire lives in that state. Rather than poking through, we could connect a hose and just continue to draw upon the light, letting it consume us. What might it be like if everyone could do that all the time?
Here's to you finding your own 99. Peace.

Finding Ninety Nine lyrics
I feel so good today, I finally found a way
I poked out of the gray
It made me feel so sure, it made want some more
It made me feel alive, like touching ninety nine
I want you by my side, finding ninety nine
I want you by my side, we're finding ninety nine
Take me for a ride, take me to the light
Where I know nothings mine
Feel me for the warm, the calm before the storm
The curtain has been torn, we're touching ninety nine
I want you by my side, finding ninety nine
I want you by my side, we're finding ninety nine
And I feel so alive, ooh I love my life
Yeah I feel so alive, I love my life
I feel so good today, I finally found a way
I poked out of the gray
It made me feel so sure, it made want some more
It made me feel alive, like touching ninety nine
I want you by my side, finding ninety nine
I want you by my side, we're finding ninety nine
We're finding ninety nine
