Wow. So you really liked this paragraph so much you decided to copy/paste it and create a whole new thread about it. I find that fascinating since your average Joe is not going to comprehend any of it. Not because the idea is so difficult. It's because of your jargon filled language. The concept isn't hard to understand at all.

It is wrong though, as I described in the thread you copied that from.

I'm telling you there is absolutely no mystery here people. It's not mysticism. It's not magic. It not even some high minded quantum effect. It's just plain old simple human psychology. It's GROUPTHINK combined with confirmation bias. It is completely easy to explain and to understand without resorting to overthinking. You ALL are overthinking this whole thing.

It begins with the desire to be special. You hear about people repeatedly noticing 11:11. They say they see it several times every week. They can't explain it. They say that when they look at the clock and see 11:11 they don't know why they looked at the clock at that time. They just had this urge to find out what time it was (even while they ignore the fact that wanting to look at a clock is by definition a spontaneous desire.) Then they discuss in wonder about the meaning behind it all and conclude that their constant reminder about the time makes them special. You want to be a part of this special crowd too, and before you can say synchronicity you find yourself checking the time at 11:11 all the time.

How to explain it??? Are you somehow synchronized with some cosmic mystical source guiding your light as it penetrates the essence of your chakra? Hardly. It's actually quite simple to explain. It's your subconscious mind. It happens to be a superior time keeper. Its responsible for a lot of biological functions that are dependent upon excellent timing so it stands to reason that it knows when 11:11 is. When it becomes aware of your desire to know that it's 11:11, if you happen to be near one of the clocks it knows about and you are in a ready state, say driving, or in an elevator, or walking down the street, it will simply alert your conscious mind to wonder about the time. Then you get this inescapable urge to check your watch.

Bam! You are a member of the 11:11 club. Aren't you special? No. Not really.

I know you don't want to accept it. After all, you want to be special. You want the explanation to be something more interesting than the mundane one I gave. But sometimes you have to put your wishes and preconceived ideas aside and accept occam's razor. This really IS the most plausable explanation.

Doubt me? Then try to find other number sequences like pi or Phi (I am in love with the golden ratio BTW). What if you heard that 1:23 is a magical time of the day? I guarantee that you would start to check the time at 1:23 a lot. But people already do make note of seeing all sorts of times: 2:22, 3:33, 4:44, 5:55, 3:14. These really are best explained psychologically. That's all there is to it.

Can we please put this to bed?

BTW Timothy,
Care to answer my reply in the other thread where you originally posted this?
