This one goes to 11:11

A couple days ago my better half pointed at the clock on the stove and said "I always seem to look at the clock when it's 11:11." We talked for a minute about numbers that appear repeatedly in life and how it can reach the point of strangeness, and that was that. Today I discovered the "Beyond Reality Radio Show" which is a paranormal show hosted by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson of TAPS fame. The episode I listened to they were interviewing Uri Geller, and someone called in to to ask his opinion on the "1111" phenomenon.

A phenomenon was news to me... There is actually a fair amount of material on this out there and I am surprised I haven't seen any of it before. Geller has an article on his site about it which you can check out. He seems to focus simply on the number 11, more than anything, and takes ample opportunity to make points about September 11th that seem completely out of place. He does include a few numerology equations as well, some of which seem to have more relevance than others, but this part of the article I found somewhat interesting...

"If you multiply 1111 by 1111 you get 1234321, representing a pyramid, and number 11 is a sacred number of the pyramid with the proportions of the great pyramid being of the ratio 7:11. Eleven is also a number harmonious with Pi. Therefore, it seems that number eleven is of central importance in understanding the mathematical infrastructure of the universe." - Uri Geller

His is certainly not the only interpretation though, there are those that link it to the Mayan Calendar and the prophetic speculation linked to 2012. It is at 11:11 Universal or Greenwich Mean Time depending on the report that the calendar ceases on 12/21/12. Here's a sensationalistic video to illustrate that point of view.



There are also those that associate it with a portal between "duality and oneness" as a pathway to a different level of consciousness and evolutionary path. Other's point to it as a meditation path and a time of day for collective prayer, which is explained in this interview...



Still others associate it with passages from the bible, like Revelations 11:11.

"And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them." - Revelations 11:11

I've also seen comparisons drawn to Daniel 11:11 and this video illustrates that portion of the Bible with lots of gory effects and rotten corpses...

"And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand. " Daniel 11:11



So there is a mess of information out there related to 11:11, but no definitive explanation or even real common ground has been found to explain the prevalence the number seems to have in so many peoples lives.
