This post may be a little too new-agey or “out there” for most of you, in fact it’s even a little too new-age for me too. But I’ve been having some interesting coincidences in my life happen recently that I can’t ignore. They are related to the 11:11 phenomenon<\/a>. Before you write me off as someone who’s losing his mind, let me also say that I am not an overly spiritual person, nor am I into metaphysics or anything like that.<\/p>\n

According to Wikipedia:<\/p>\n

Numerologists believe that events linked to the time 11:11 appear more often than chance or coincidence. This belief is related to the concept of synchronicity. Other authors believe it is an auspicious sign, and others that it signals a spirit presence.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I have always heard of coincidences with numbers, and have had them happen before in the past, and quite honestly I always attributed them to confirmation bias<\/a>. But lately I have been having a LOT of weird 11:11 coincidences and it seems that it’s more than just coincidence, though I’m still not entirely sure.<\/p>\n

I had never heard of the concept of 11:11, but a few months back I read an article by Steve Pavlina<\/a>, and to be honest, I kind of laughed it off as a little kooky. Not that I don’t think there are “signs” or other things in our lives that can help us confirm our thoughts or feelings, but I’m still a bit skeptical of anything too radical or seemingly “out there”. Mind you, I read Steve’s article months<\/b> ago, so it’s not as is the topic was fresh in my mind. Which is part of what is nagging at me now, since I’m seeing all these coincidences, I think that maybe it could be more than confirmation bias. I don’t know about it being a bridge or a pathway to another reality or anything like that, but I’m starting to believe there just may be some message behind it. If nothing else, perhaps something my subconscious is trying to tell me.<\/p>\n

This started happening maybe a week or so ago, and I’ve had quite a few moments of 11:11 coincidences happening since then:<\/p>\n
