The Shared Experience: 11:11

Gradual change goes largely unnoticed. That’s why we are shocked when we attend our class reunions and see that our friends have gotten older while we haven’t changed since the senior prom. We grow accustomed to the face we see in the mirror each day, but if we compare our yearbook photo to the image in the mirror, we would, of course, realize that we are no longer the same fresh-faced youth, either.

If you are experiencing the elevens, one way to test this theory of gradual transformation for yourself is to keep a journal. The content can be anything that seems relevant to you at the moment – your spiritual insights, philosophy, or even your thoughts on the 11:11 phenomenon. Do not re-read your journal entries more than once a year. I predict that when you compare your recorded self from today to the ‘you’ you will be a year from now, the difference will astound you.

Why 11:11?

The number 1 represents beginnings, transformations, and new opportunities. In short, 1 brings change. Those few who find the presence of 11:11 frightening may be keying in on the concept of change, which is often uncomfortable and fear-inducing. Those who experience a burst of excitement and anticipation when confronted with 11:11 are likely feeling the energy of hope, which accompanies new adventures.

But is it really a number? Might the 1111 be the closest approximation we have to a symbol or a code? In short, could 11:11 be speaking to us in a language either unknown to humans or long forgotten?

Ongoing

The slow, rolling changes in consciousness that occur as a result of activation will continue until the process of transformation is complete. As we incorporate new cultural concepts, we move ever closer to a paradigm shift that will shape the character of the new era.

Meanwhile we can spend our time wisely by getting closely acquainted with our own evolving selves. Through meditation, centering prayer, or soul study, we can acknowledge and welcome the updates to our collective psyche. Through our actions and our words, we can share the benefit of any wisdom we gain. And through patience and honesty, we will eventually understand the role we are to play in the future.
