This post was simply going to be a little tribute to AnaĆÆs Nin’s 111th Birthday. Brainpickings.org had posted a pretty picture with a quote and I was going to pop it here and share with you all.
But then I delved a little deeper and wondered why I am always drawn to the repetition and pattern of numbers. I always make a wish when the clock shows up as 11.11; it was partly the “111” of AnaĆÆs Nin’s birthday commemoration that got my attention.
So I googled 11.11 and was kind of spooked out by what I read. Here’s a sample from Yahoo Answers:
For many years the numbers 11:11 have been mysteriously appearing to people all over the world. Often appearing on digital clocks, the sightings of 11:11 tend to occur during times of heightened awareness, having a most powerful effect on the people involved. This causes a reactivation of our cellular memory banks. There’s a stirring deep inside, a hint of remembrance of something long forgotten.
The appearance of 11:11 is also a powerful confirmation that we are on the right track, aligned with our highest Truth. Throughout the years, I have personally encountered thousands of people all over the world who, have experienced repeated sightings of 11:11. They all want to know what is happening to them and why. What does the 11:11 signify?
11:11 is a pre-encoded trigger placed into our cellular memory banks prior to our descent into matter which, when activated, signifies that our time of completion is near. This refers to the completion of duality. When the 11:11 appears to you, it is your wake-up call. A direct channel opens up between you and the Invisible. When this happens, it is time to reflect on whatever you are doing for a moment and Look Larger. A transfer is in position. You can enter the Greater Reality if you wish pray or meditate and seed your future and also, you can be seeded by the Invisible. You can ask for help in some specific area of your life or simply listen quietly and receive a revelation.(written by dolly blaine)
And from 1111angels.net:
How often have you noticed the numbers 11:11, 12:12, 10:10, 22:22, 12:34, 2:22, 3:33, 4:44 or 5:55 popping up all over the place? These number sequences are not necessarily only time prompts. They can also be number sequences, like 333, 1111 etc. To your mind, is this a coincidence, or are they too frequent to be random? Perhaps you are puzzled or amused by this phenomenon? Possibly even a little bit nervous? The question everyone is asking is “What does 11:11 mean?” and “Is there a reason for this?” And there certainly is.
These 11:11 Wake-Up Calls on your digital clocks, mobile phones, VCRās and microwaves are the “trademark” prompts of a group of just 1,111 fun-loving Spirit Guardians, or Angels, and the 11:11 prompt is their way of using our innate ability for pattern recognition to let us know that they are here. Once they have your attention, they will use other digits, like 12:34, or 2:22 to remind you of their presence. Invisible to our eyes, they are very real.
All along I have been making a wish at 11.11 — check my Twitter feed — and hey, maybe I was on the right track. I just didn’t know a spirit or angel was around making it so. I’d like to think that my grandmother has something to do with this!
Anyway, here is the AnaĆÆs Nin picture from Brain Pickings I had intended to post before I became entranced with the above.
