11:11 (Blog)

[Gregorz]

Interesting article, but one of the lines jumped out and demanded that I question it:

"The universe cannot show you anything which you’ve intentionally chosen to block from your reality."

Is that really true? I've seen many, many violations of it. And even in your own article, you said that 11:11 could 'infect' people who didn't want it to be part of their reality. Not to mention, there are many things we could potentially manifest (like "I'd like for everyone in the world to see the truth as it is") which could violate the rule. One was in your article: the flying man.

This is why I don't believe in an absolute subjective reality. The way I think of it, the more people that intend something, the stronger the effect. One person can't sit in a dark room alone and change the world into a place where people have superpowers by believing hard enough. Not that I've tried or anything

I just finished watching it! I'm in a lovely mood thanks to it. Although, it's that restless "lovely." It's really really weird that this(your) message was posted at 3:13 (my time.) a play on "13" has been my "11" for the last few days. I wonder what that means...

[kelly1111]

Hey! i just wanted to say....i signed up just a minute ago so i could post on the gratitute forum, i usually make my username end in 77 because 7 is my number. But today i decided i should make me username use 1111 and as i was signing up , the part where it asks for the 4th letter of the owner of the domain i thought WHO IS STEVE? then i looked at your blog and see that your most recent post was about 1111. That was a good sign for me today.

Do share more details, if you please.

My girlfriend is always telling me to make a wish when she sees 11:11 on the clock. I never noticed it on your web site, Steve. Of course, there are many things I don't notice when I'm not looking for them.

[Sam988]

I've been out for a while from these forums.. apparently i didn't miss anything but the decline on this blog.


First polyamory which i definitely didn't buy and now this 11:11, LOL.


I want some useful, practical articles again! NOW (yes i've been spoiled by the high quality articles that steve often writes, but which have been lacking lately)

[munish]

I just checked my alarm clock,which is not working since yesterday night . Time is stuck at 11.11 .

[Essence911]

This phenomena began happening to me over a year and a half ago and it continues to this day. I was invited to join this 'Secret Society' which ultimately put me on the path of a pursuit of truth, and let's just say that I've certainly entered into the 'Rabbit Hole.' To say the last year and a half has been an incredible experience would be an understatement.

It first started with me seeing the same digits on my laptop time, on the cable box, or in the car (1:11, 2:22, 3:33, 11:11 etc.). Then it started happening with such frequency that I began pointing it out to my friends, who understandably said it was mere coincidence... and not to mention, the more I pointed it out, the more they thought I was just looking for it and trying to get attention - which I wasn't...

I began to intuitively understand that it was the Universe's way of letting me know that I was/am on track. I began researching into more and more of the esoteric and my perception of reality began to change. Indeed, synchronicities began occurring more rapidly and I finally understood (well I'm still always trying to better understand) what it is I'm here to do and why I choose to 'reincarnate' here and now at this exact moment in Cosmic History.

I can't help it sometimes, I admit that I do occasionally get a kick out of appearing to be a 'weirdo' or a 'nut-job' to the average human... hahaha but to all you non-believers and skeptics, all I can tell you is that the Truth is stranger than fiction, and not to mention immensely beautiful. Do you think it is by random chance that you're reading my post right now? I assure you that it is not random! When it comes to your conscious-awareness that your current perception of reality may not necessarily be all that is... you too may begin to experience these synchronicities... and when you do, remember Steve's blog on 11:11 and what you're reading right now!

So... I'm a professional poker player and I was in Atlantic City to play some high stakes cash games with my very skeptical ("Darwin is King") friend and poker buddy about a year ago. On our way down from New York City (3 1/2 hr car drive) we got into a discussion of the possibility (probability) of alien existence. Of course he would not accept it because 'there is no solid proof,' apparently. I quoted Carl Sagan: "Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Absence" and yeah we went back and forth yada yada... Well... once we got to the hotel, I turned on CNN and sure enough it was their 'UFO files' - I got a kick out of that one, especially since this guy was one of my friends that thought the 11:11 phenomenon was just coincidence.

Well, I didn't make a believer out of him even though I've been telling him for some time that synchronicities have been occurring in my life in much succession as of late... Well, we both played, both made about $700 each and ended up leaving our respective tables at the same time (randomly I might add) and ended up next to each other in the cash-out line. We talked about how we did, what our killer hands were, how funny it was that we both made about the same amount and that it was weird that we both left at the same time etc... Well... we walked back to the car to drive back to the hotel... and as we both shut the doors and he turns on his engine... just like clockwork the 4:44 was glaring us in the face. We were both ecstatic... even this lifetime skeptic can no longer say that was all simply coincidence...! p.s. I DID NOT make ANY of this up.

Oh yeah, as a final note, I've been seeing a lot of 12:34, 2:34, 4:56 etc. - to me it signifies that I'm making progress... What do you think? Am I just as nutty as Steve?

[pyrhho]

I was reading the article. Got to the part about the 11:10 and 11:12. And I'm like, "What a crock, this is such rubbish. Steve's blog used to be so good, now it's gone downhill!" Looked up at the clock, and it was 11:11. go figure.

Hmm, this part made me think.. Thank you for your thoughts.

[Hagerup]

On the Dutch Facebook ('hyves'), I've found a community called 'Hyve for people who often spot double numbers when they look at the clock'. It has like 5000 members. An army of awakened people or did they smoke too much?

[Happybird]

Gaah! I've been pacing my room for like 15 minutes now, and I'm terribly annoyed with Steve. I almost considered stopping reading his blog, like, forever.

How dare he put such an irritating mindvirus in my head! I was just feeling quite comfy in my highly objective reality, and then this comes along. Bah!

11:11’s purpose is positive, although it may not seem that way when it first takes hold.

[...]

You can do your best to explain away the surging 11s any way you like. You can cage those experiences in a vault of hard logic. But once you’ve been infected, it’s only a matter of time before your old beliefs begin to crack.

I guess I now understand why this is accurate.. It's 10:37 on the clock here... Bah! The last time I checked it was 11 seconds past a minute. Bah! I hope you are happy now.

[gombosg]

I'm back!
So, first, I wrote a small dev-c++ program that adds digits.

This is what you get when you look at the clock (0:00 to 23:59):

0: 0.0694444%
1: 0.277778%
2: 0.694444%
3: 1.31944%
4: 2.15278%
5: 3.19444%
6: 4.30556%
7: 5.41667%
8: 6.45833%
9: 7.43056%
10: 8.19444%
11: 8.61111%
12: 8.68056%
13: 8.40278%
14: 7.77778%
15: 6.80556%
16: 5.69444%
17: 4.58333%
18: 3.54167%
19: 2.56944%
20: 1.73611%
21: 1.11111%
22: 0.625%
23: 0.277778%
24: 0.0694444%

Well... 11 has a high probability.

This is what happens when you look at a number from 10 to 9999999:

1: 6.00001e-005%
2: 0.00027%
3: 7.13924%
4: 10.4682%
5: 10.7361%
6: 10.6008%
7: 10.4297%
8: 10.2218%
9: 9.97536%
10: 9.6904%
11: 9.36889%
12: 3.97187%
13: 0.642961%
14: 0.375%
15: 0.510301%
16: 0.681451%
17: 0.889351%
18: 1.13575%
19: 1.42065%

(if the sum was greater than 19, the program added again!)
We can conclude that if the sum is between 10 and 19, there is a high chance of it being 11, and it will almost always be 10, 11 or 12.

This of course proves or explains nothing, I was simply curious, that's all.

Your article is very interesting about reality and all. Of course, I could have many objections, and you would say I was skeptical and I didn't have the correct belief

I know the chain of improbable but not impossible events create a certain experience, about which you just can't say it is by mere coincidence. After some time it is quite imaginable that it starts to crush your belief about reality.

I don't want to say anything about truth and reality, because the newest improvement in my personality, my thinking was that reality is subjective, it is made up by our minds.
Still, I "believe" (is this the right word?) that science exists, so we can create verifiable models about this world.

So I'm just going to ask questions.

-- first of all, isn't it possible to still question yourself? The idea of "selective thinking" is supported by the (well, proved by experiments) fact that uncosciously we process more data, more "input" than cosciously, and can even spot certain patterns we are not aware of.
-- I think you have experienced 11:11 for too long for the above to work.
You have made conclusions after experiencing this event you call "synchronicity".

-- Exactly what do you mean about experiencing reality as it is, going through the doorway, etc.?
-- The universe cannot show you anything which you’ve intentionally chosen to block from your reality. Here you claim that the universe has intelligence.
-- it would violate your freedom to choose your beliefs, and that’s a huge cosmic no-no. Here you refer to other rules about life and universe.
-- (your post here) The 11:11 doesn't happen for everyone, only for a very small percentage of people. For most people it's meaningless.

The above four quotes (okay, three...) indicate a closed belief system. You refer to certain rules that you think are true, explain them with your 11:11 experience and then exclude people who don't experience this.
I mean, I can show you many people who think that
-- there is one God who has intelligence
-- they experience God in various ways, they communicate with him
-- other people who don't believe (??) the same things just haven't found him or it is the Devil's work.

I don't say either of them is true, but there are similarities. And of course both belief systems are infalsifiable!
Experience is what makes them TRUE for you, for them, for anyone.

But then, which rules can you and I infer to by experience?

I think these are appropriate questions, and I would like to see if they are right (the questions, not the answers...).

I really resonate with what you experienced. Similar things started to happen to me since one and half year ago. I was trying to tell my wife about this, and she utterly disregarded what I said with cynical attitude.

Recently I started to experience more synchronicities, and felt it was much easier to manifest my intention. The things or people just showed up when I needed them, so plan went very smoothly according to my intention.

Nowadays digitals such as 12:34, 2:34, 4:56, 11:11 impress me less and less. Like Steve said, it is just one of gateways.

Yesterday I was on the road for almost 5 hours. The only time when I looked at the clock was 11:11.

I prefer to explain this phenomenon with quantum mechanism. Also I am not trying to look for validation from others anymore.

Ditto. Steve does mention in his article that 11:11 is only one doorway of many.

11:11 means absolutely nothing to me, nada, zip. But rainbows/light spectra, well, that's another story.... Not so much any more, but I used to see them in the most extraordinary and unlikely of circumstances that I KNEW it had to be more than just weird coincidences. It went on for too long and happened in such incredibly unlikely situations that I knew there was "something strange" going on.

There are probably as many kinds of signs as there are people, and what has meaning to one person may have no meaning at all to another.

[tells]

I was born on November 11 and have always appreciated 11:11. However, Steve, I think you might be going crazy. Looking at an outside "phenomenon", if you can call it that, for judging certain decisions is not the best way to live. Soon that's all you'll be looking for.

Sam, if you want something a little more tame like articles on how to organize your desk or increase your income and such, there are plenty of other websites to choose from. Try Google to find some. You can come back to this one in a few years if it still interests you... once your desk is clean, your wallet full, and all the "practical" parts of your life are under control.

You may not want to hear this, but it's clear that the reason you keep hanging around is that you really do value this stuff on some level -- you just aren't ready to accept that part of yourself yet. I suspect you'll be able to accept it consciously within the next 5 years though. But before that happens, you may need to work in earnest on all the practical stuff that you try to convince yourself is more important instead of using this site as a means of procrastinating. Give that pursuit a few good years if it matters so much to you.

Anyone who truly thinks this blog is declining will naturally stop reading it. But to continue reading it while claiming it's declining indicates a disconnect between what you say and what you really believe deep down.

You're running the same pattern I've seen in dozens of other people before. The question is whether or not you're able to see where this pattern is leading you. I suspect you have some idea but probably can't see the big picture yet.

Deep down, you know the "practical" stuff is a hollow distraction from what really matters, but it looks like you're struggling because you don't feel you have the strength to deal with the really important stuff yet, so you turn away from it to seek the comfort of the mundane. Rest assured, however, that you'll eventually be strong enough to deal with it. Turning your back on it isn't the answer though.

We can conclude that if the sum is between 10 and 19, there is a high chance of it being 11, and it will almost always be 10, 11 or 12.

the sum limit should be set to > 11. collapsing digits until less than or equal to 11. if the sum is 12-19 there is no "chance" of them hitting 11 - that is 12 becomes 3, 13 becomes 4, and none of them become 11.

what you are calculating is not a chance statistic. given a number range, you are calculating the percent distribution of the results. each number in the number range has an exact collapsed number.

Ah Steve you’ve clearly gone mad

Objective reality lol … is that subjective objective reality then? As its objectivity as experienced subjectively through a so called human nervous system lol.

Reminds me of the guy who believed he was dead and so wouldn’t move. So the belief enforcers… err I mean psychiatrists asked him if corpses bleed, to which he replied no.
So they sterilised a needle and pricked his finger which bled.
Well I’ll be darned he said, corpses do bleed! … of course not to mention the fact that the guy was holding coherent conversations even though he was a corpse in his own mind! ^^

What the thinker thinks the prover proves to borrow a phrase from a real dead guy, Robert A. Wilson, albeit he’s still alive in some peoples minds.

Have a great day today or not if you so choose 

There is no corpse guy. That whole story merely exists as an imagined memory in your mind, right along with everything else.

[AlexG]

Thanks for the article Steve.

Things have made more sense now since 2.5 years ago when me and my g/f started to notice 11:11. It still continues and now I am paying attention.

[Savage]

If your beliefs are more accurate than mine, you can reasonably expect superior results in the long run -- happiness, health, money, career, love, friends, etc.

If you think I'm crazy, then your results should easily put mine to shame. In fact, I should have a rather difficult time functioning on this planet.

Then again, the people who so vehemently claim their beliefs are more accurate than mine tend to be the same people who have a hard time just getting out of bed in the morning, thanking me for writing a 1000-word article explaining how to accomplish such a glorious feat.

Accuracy...hmm, Superior results...hmm, your results should put mine to shame lol.
I'm not in competition with you, or anyone else.
I'm living enjoying the process of experiencing being.
I consider happiness to be subjective also, and that money, 'career' and other pathways to the varied complexities of experiencing happiness is different for different people.


If you think I'm crazy...

Lol I dont really think your crazy in any negative sense of a label

Then again, the people who so vehemently claim their beliefs are more accurate than mine tend to be the same people who have a hard time just getting out of bed in the morning, thanking me for writing a 1000-word article explaining how to accomplish such a glorious feat.

...Well I cant say I've ever had people vehemently claim their beliefs are more accurate than mine, well unless you are now.

I haven't read all the posts but there are people who believe in all sorts of things that may have more of this than you, Steve. Some people get it through "practical" beliefs, and some get it through spiritual beliefs, and so on.

Or is that your point? That there isn't just one way?

Sure, there are many effective beliefs and many ineffective ones. You can generally tell by your results how well your current beliefs are serving you. The basic question is: Are you generally able to experience what you want from life, or do you have an extraordinarily difficult time with that?
