11:11 symbolism or coincidence

The numerical sequence of the number 11:11 holds many theories in people's minds. Some people believe that the synchronicity of these numbers hold a more powerful and spiritual meaning, and others don’t believe this theory at all. There are many beliefs that people hold. They believe 11:11 to be an ultimate sign of a higher power that angels and guardians are trying to communicate with you through the use of numerology. You may even hear people say “make a wish” when the clock lands on 11:11 am or pm. In fact, some people believed that on November 11, 2011 at 11:11 on the 11th second, a spiritual portal was opened to our world. Those who believe in this say that when you start to see a pattern of these numbers in various places you should pay attention to your thoughts and your surroundings around you because this was said to be a sign that your spiritual guides are trying to communicate with you. One theory concluded that noticing 11:11 on a regular basis is the start of your spiritual journey. Some also believe that these numbers hold a more biblical meaning to it. For example, the words “Jesus Christ,” “God Almighty,” “Savior Jesus”, and others have 11 letters in it.

Although I am skeptic of many of these beliefs, this particular phenomenon has followed me and left a slight impact on me. In 2014, the number 11 popped up everything for me. It no longer happens now, but the frequent sightings of this number have followed me for about a year straight. No matter where I was I would always see the number 11. For example, many days when I would wake up in the morning and check my clock the phone would say 11:11, and then immediately turn to 11:12. Often, I would wake up in the middle of the night and check my phone only to notice that the time said 1:11 am. When I would drive behind cars and randomly stop to look at any given license plate around me, somewhere in the license plate would have the number 11 in it. After some time passed while working out on a treadmill I would check to see how much time I would have left, and in the split second that I did look the numbers said 11:11. Throughout the day when I would go to check the time, my phone would always say 11:11. The one time where this sequence did freak me out was the day I received a call at 11:11 from my father saying that my uncle has passed away. Maybe it was a coincidence, but for this to go on for such a long period of time and so frequently made me become a little less skeptic. However, the phenomenon is yours to evaluate.

  1. Wow that's crazy! Stories such as yours makes me believe in this phenomenon more than others! However, recent events that happened in my life makes me think that it all has to do with psychology. In highschool, my boyfriend passed away on May 13, and ever since then all I see are 5's and 13's put together. I wake up at 5:13 everyday. My paychecks come out to $513, I see the number on license plates as well. As much as I want to believe that this is a spiritual sign, I think that part of it relates to the availibity heuristic. To me, there's no other option then spiritual, so I WANT to believe it is that. What does everyone else think?

  2. When I was in middle school, my classmates and I all made a wish when the clock read all the same numbers. It was just a fun little thing we did to pass the long school day. I never knew it came from an interesting superstition like this. I did not believed the wish would come true, I just had fun fantasizing about what would happen if it did. I'm not going to say you can't believe in something you want to, but personally I don't believe numbers have significant meaning spiritually. I believe that when you see these numbers over and over again, it's because your brain is making a pattern with numbers that are important to you. The human brain is very good at picking up on patterns of all sorts, so it might just be that you are taking more note of when the clock when it reads a certain time or a licence plate with certain numbers in it.

  3. This is like me with the number 37! No matter what 37 follows me everywhere! My house number is 37, my phone number has 37 in it and just so much more. My grandma too has a thing where every time she looks at the clock it's 7:11! Very weird superstition. Everyone seems to have a number that follows them.

  4. I can relate to this with the number 3:33. I see it all the time. I lost count on how many times I've hit the power button on my phone to see what time it was and had 3:33 on the screen. This has been happening for years.

  5. I have read a lot about this in the past and I found that it typically is not some sign of higher power or precognition but more likely, it is a coincidence. I'll use time as an example. You check your phone or watch 50 times a day. You can only see 11:11 2 out of those 50 times. However, you remember seeing 11:11 because it has some "higher meaning". You still checked the time 48 other times and saw nothing of value or importance, you just remember the 11:11 and it sticks out in your memory.
