Hi Steve I've been following your site for a while and always find something interesting to read
Just wanting to comment on your 11:11 post.
I think it is important to also mention that some people think the phenomenon of 11:11 is simply "confirmation bias". This is where you see things because you're looking for them. "11:11" is easy to see and remember. Once you start looking you see it everywhere and it becomes self reinforcing.
But you don't see it everywhere because there is something special about it. You see it everywhere because you ignore or discard anything that doesn't fit. For example, say you had an important meeting, and your partner was exactly 8 minutes late. Would that be important? What if they were exactly 11 minutes late? Suddenly that is important. Why not the 8 minutes late also? This is the problem with not having a criteria of what can be included and counted as "important and relevant to the 11:11 phenomenon".
However it would be just as easy to see / find the number "12" everywhere. You just have to look for it. (or 18, or 23232 or any other series of numbers).
If you start to follow this pattern, I think you'll see what I mean. How about you do a test and start to look for "12" everywhere. I'm sure you'll start to find it. eg "Steve Pavlina" is 12 letters long
. Try it for a few weeks see what happens.
Hope this adds some insights for you. You can read more about it here:
