Someone I know was talking about looking at the clock at 11:11, and mentioned something about making a wish. Is there some supposed power or meaning behind seeing 11:11 often? I ask this because at least once a week (usually more) I look at the clock and it's either 11:11 or 1:11. Any thoughts? Sorry if this isn't in the right forum.

Oh hun... No one will probably ever figure this out. I see 11:11 all the time. I have looked online to see what it meant.
Some sites say its your spirit guide telling you "HELLO, Im here, pay attention"
and others say it is when we are attuned with our self.. But for gawd sakes.. how many times a day must be attuned with our selfs? I see 11:11 at least 2-3 times daily and I am not checking what time it is when I see it. no.gif

I always see it too and everyone is always saying "Make a wish and it will come true!" But its just one of those things that people do you know like when people look at the clock and yell "420!!!" grin2.gif

4:20 That is priceless. laugh.gif

I always look at the clock, and if it's 7:11 I think of the gas station laugh.gif

Just to let everyone know, I hope you don't mind, but - 11:11:11 is actually a WW2 time that was significant. Can you guess what happened then?
~TheArtOfContact~
Maybe the Stalingrad guy can answer that one. It was November 11th, at 11 a.m., 11 minutes, 11 seconds.
moomooman
this happens to me all the time but at 4:20 and i get all excited. but unfortunatly at the time being, i cant do nothing.

That was when the armistice was signed at the end of WWI, wasn't it?

Yeah November 11

I had that some time ago but It just dissapeared I think it was coincidence specially because I look at the clock many times a day.

Thank you StalingradK, I thought maybe you would get it. I live in Mass too by the way, and grew up in a military family. I was born on April 7th, the day the U.S. declared war on Germany. I am also German, so all kinds of numerlogical things come up with me, I ended up studying numerology for a while.

Anyway, good call.
StalingradK
GO MASSACHUSETTS! grin2.gif , and Germany declared war on the US, the US was accually the only country that Germany offically declared war on, Germany didn't even have to, and they knew they couldn't take on America... Well everyone but Hitler, but Hitler wanted to show the world Germany was supreme and could take on anyone, they could have just said screw you Japan, it's your fault you atatcked the United States, but nope :/.

Which wars did your family fight in? I'd be intrested to know original.gif

Only more recently...probly from reading this post. But I must say this, 11:11 isnt the sam eeverywere or even in the same place. Clocks dont record time arccuretly and there are many time zones.

Funny that I see 11:11 as well and I thought I was alone lol. Yep on the ll day of the 11 month at 11:11 we have one minute of silence. I do wonder whats up with seeing 11:11 all the time, it's starting to irritate me this has been going on for a year. blink.gif

What wars I don't know, not exactly. My grandfather (deceased) worked in a factory for machines ( WW2 war machines ). My mother ( his daughter ) works for the veterans (V.A.)as a head nurse, was also in the army reserve once. My father was a firefighter for an airfield (now retired ). My uncle on my mothers side was a national gaurdsman (retired). Her sister works for the D.O.D. My stepfather was a national gaurdsman ( retired/divorced ). So I was interested mainly in the numbers/u.f.o./military intel/ psychic relationship for the last 12 years. I work for a vietnam veteran part time,whom has a father( WW2 navy) at the same hospital my mother works at. I also have a part time job with a retired navy man.

Quite alot of connections I know, it sounds weird.

There is a Tool song about the number 11 on the A side of Aenima.

Okay then, what does 1234 mean.
At least 5 times a week, when I look at the clock, it reads 12:34.
Meanings?

Seriously people, don't get so obsessed over time, it's just a mental thing and it corresponds with your biological clock, or mental clock w/e you wanna call it.

Hiya
The way it happends is weird eg: Your shopping comes to $11:11, then you get a parcel that you had been expecting from Ebay....you notice it cost the person who sent it to you......$11.11 in postage, or maybe you notice the postal stamp at the time THEY posted it 4 days ago was 11:11am.....thats how it happends and if it happends to you, its obsessive. LOTS of people see it.

I hope you see it only 2 times a day at most... If you see it more, either you have to many clocks, you're checking what time it is too much, or your clock is broken.

oh god! we should talk about this! for the last month i have constantly seen 9:11~ good to know i'm not alone! i see it on the microwave, in the car, on my pc, alarm clocks, and i am not checking the time when i see it. like if i sleep and wake up it's 9:11, what does this mean? i never noticed it before at all and it's more than coincidence.

11:11 is just a New Age cultish movement of a bunch of new agers who "synchonized" their meditations all over the world at the same time during the time 11:11. It's basically a fad to get more followers of the belief.

And as I have said a thousand times before, our brain works by seeing patterns in the world around us. You see hundereds of numbers all day long. If you see the same one twice in a row, immediately you have a 2 digit pattern. You mind stores patterns differently than it stores random bits of info. Thus, you tend to remember all the times you see "911" more than the times you see random numbers.

Interestingly enough, you'll never hear of anyone seeing 911 everywhere before sept 11th happened. This fully supports the phenomena I have explained.

Open up any psychology text and flip to the section which discusses patterns, and you'll get alot more information on this subject. it truely explains it all.

Heheheh......that's just what my ex husband said when he tried to take my kids off me :-)
Luckily for me, the judge was much more open minded:-)

I have never participated in a 11:11 meditation, you are talking about Solara, who's understanding of 11:11 I have never resonated to. Your understanding of this phenomenea is limited, if you really wish to understand it a bit more see http://www.11-11.streamlinetrial.co.uk/index.php
understanding though is probably best gained through experience.

Lots of different people see 11:11 and not just through the time, see my previous post. Carl Jung had a better understanding of synchronicity than anyone, read some of his writings on synchronicity

I think you misunderstand what Jung is actually saying about the human mind and synchonicity. Have you ever studied him outright? or do you only go by quote and quips of his teachings provided by websites? If my understanding is so limited, then how about you enlighten me?

Oh I'm always willing to hear. But I'm not easily convinced. I'll listen to your case. I'll listen to every bit of it. But you have to present it first.

So, that's "you're" website? So, uh, where is the part about 11:11 on it? The search feature didn't work.
muddyfrog
Well I have to say insight. that your example does not prove what you wanted it to. What they are saying is the number has meaning... I'm guesing they are saying the number is a message or a sign. (right?) And 9/11 only had meaning after it happened. So that is the only time that they could get a sign (mabey to remember the day if we are talking about 9/11?)

I'm not saying that is what I think though. I just didn't like that example. As it can be used for both sides original.gif
I know what you mean about patterns.
Everyone go out and look for 12:34. You'll notice it more and more.
What does 12:34 mean???

Ok firstly, my fault wrong webpage, the webpage that we have on 11:11 is limited at the moment and is mostly run by John my husband but feel free to check it out.
My 11:11 Webpage

Firstly I have no "case" to speak of original.gif or a need to "convince" you of anything. What I can do is talk about why I feel 11:11 is more than just random silliness to me and others. Having said that though, it is hard to explain just WHY 11:11 feels significant to us, why do people who see it devote webpages, songs, poetry, record companies, wedding dates etc....to this number, the short answer is I don't know. Mostly we're all still scratching our heads, wondering what this THING is. This is the element of where I guess you have to see it, to really understand. Like ghosts, if you see one but the guy next to you doesn't, you are not having the same experience and he will be unable to relate to yours....and I understand that and why you would think that 11:11 is nothing significant, to the person who saw the ghost though......nothings changed, ghost was still there, they are still freaked out grin2.gif

Firstly I don't proclaim to know "what" it is and my only advice I offer to anyone who contact me (and lots of people do) is to run away from anyone who tells you THIS IS what it is, no one knows. They too only have their understanding of it.
How do you make a case for meaningful coincidences. I guess it's a bit like UFO encounters or abductions. I've never had one, yet people who have been abducted feel a great need to connect to each other and share and understand what happend to them. I guess there is no way of proving that either.

To be quite honest I don't know what else to say. I was going to write about all the 11:11 things that happend to me and keep happening to me, the many and varied ways it presents itself but I guess suffice to say that those of us who do see it, feel it is a phenomenea and I must say now to me, an old friend. I will state that I have never had anything bad happen to me via 11:11 and I love how some people make a wish when they see it. Im not sure how that got started but I think it's great original.gif

Probably not what you were looking for, but I do thank you for taking the time to ask and read.

My 11:11 Webpage


Ah, yes, this site was informative. Looks like the site isn't quite done yet though. But a good site none the less.

Now, I can't say for sure, but the first half of the article posted at http://www.anomalousreality.com/ar/1111/ga_mag.html sounds like an almost exact copy and paste of what I read on the main 11:11 website five years ago. It throws up alot of speculation and rhetoric, which do everything to support the fact that 11:11 os a mysterious number, and nothing to explain why this may be. Now, as I'm sure you can see, this does happen to be a tactic of expanding on any myth, even if that myth may one day become truth.

And as far as the numerology in this page: http://www.anomalousreality.com/ar/1111/wtc11.html

Really, that sort of thing can be manipulated how one wants. For example, lets try it with the number 4.

First, here is what is posted on the site to serve as a comparisan:
* Date of the attack: 9/11 = 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.
* Trade Towers resembled ‘Eleven’.
* The World Trade Center was sold 11 weeks before the attack.
* 110 (11) floors two each trade tower
* AA (American Airlines) is numerically 11
* American Airlines Flight 11, carrying 81 passengers and 11
* September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
* After September 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year.
* Twin Towers - standing side by side, looks like the number 11.
* The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11.
* State of New York - The 11th State added to the Union.
* New York was the 11th state to endorse the Constitution.
* New York City - 11 Letters.
* The Pentagon - 11 Letters
* Afghanistan - 11 Letters.
* Flight 11 - 81 on board - 8 + 1 = 9
* Flight 175 - 65 on board - 6 + 5 = 11
* Flight 93 - 63 on board - 6 + 3 = 9

Now, here is my revamping of said numerology with the number 4:

Date of the attack: 9/11: 11 - 9 = 2. 2 is a multiple of four. There are two 1's in 911. 2 x 2 = 4.

The trade towers were both 4 sided buildings.

(oh, also, your fact that the WTC was sold 11 weeks before it was destroyed is just plain wrong. The World Trade Center was sold to Vornado Realty Trust in February, seven months prior to the attacks for 3.25 billion dollars. 7 months is 28 weeks. Get your facts right on your web page please.)

Each building had 110 floors. (1+1+1+1=4)

The words "american airlines" have 16 letters in them. 4 x 4 is 16.

The towers side by side look like the roman numeral 2, which is a multiple of 4.

The first plane to hit the tower was flight 11. 1+1=2. 2 is a multiple of 4.



There are just a few. I'm sure I could provide hundereds if I wanted to.

But why does that site have a blatantly false piece of information on it I wonder? Did you just get it from a wrong source? Or did you put it in there to support your website's 11:11 theoru, hoping no one would check on the facts?

What I can do is talk about why I feel 11:11 is more than just random silliness to me and others. Having said that though, it is hard to explain just WHY 11:11 feels significant to us, why do people who see it devote webpages, songs, poetry, record companies, wedding dates etc....to this number, the short answer is I don't know.

Why do people who see the movie StarWars devote webpages, songs, poetry, record companies, and weddings to it? Because it's a following. If people like something, they will follow it. Even if it is just a single number.


Mostly we're all still scratching our heads, wondering what this THING is.

Maybe your looking in the wrong direction. Maybe 11:11 is just a number, and the whole thing is an experiment in social engineering or a type of mind control. Maybe it's a mountain made out of a mole hill. Or maybe not.

This is the element of where I guess you have to see it, to really understand.


See what, exactly.


Like ghosts, if you see one but the guy next to you doesn't, you are not having the same experience and he will be unable to relate to yours....and I understand that and why you would think that 11:11 is nothing significant, to the person who saw the ghost though......nothings changed, ghost was still there, they are still freaked out

I understand what you mean. But still, something that is signifficant to me isn't nessecarily significant to the world it's self in any way. I really think you should do some study into how the human brain functions by recognizing patterns.


Firstly I don't proclaim to know "what" it is and my only advice I offer to anyone who contact me (and lots of people do) is to run away from anyone who tells you THIS IS what it is, no one knows. They too only have their understanding of it.

You ever see the movie "I ♥ Huckabees"?


To be quite honest I don't know what else to say. I was going to write about all the 11:11 things that happend to me and keep happening to me, the many and varied ways it presents itself but I guess suffice to say that those of us who do see it, feel it is a phenomenea and I must say now to me, an old friend. I will state that I have never had anything bad happen to me via 11:11 and I love how some people make a wish when they see it. Im not sure how that got started but I think it's great

Have you had any post secondary education, or studied psychology at all? You really, really need to have an understanding of how the brain recognizes patterns. It might very well be the ket to explaining why this number has become special to you. Just a thought.

Anyways, I'm not trying to shoot naybody down here. I'm just trying to offer a helping hand with a bit of logic and experience every once and awhile. An interesting post, and an interesting website, for sure. I'm sure we'll talk more soon.

I will bring that to John's attention and he can check it out.

Yes and Yes, more than you realise, my son is autistic and I have been very involved in psychology and trying to understand this area for a long time.

Though I'd have to say, the more education you have, the more you just believe what you are taught. An original thing at University is a frightening thing to the establishment. The smartest people in the world are the least "educated" IMO
