Numbers are ancient, meaningful, and powerful.
It was the Pythagoreans in the 6th century BC who were one of the
first groups to popularize the idea that numbers are not merely
mathematical symbols, but they actually carry spiritual
significance.
As Pythagoras was
once quoted to have said,
"Number is the ruler
of forms and ideas and the cause of gods and daemons."
Thanks to Pythagoras, we
have the system of numerology which ascribes different meanings to
numbers.
But numerology is only
one side of the coin:
numbers have been
given special meanings all throughout history, religion, and
cultural mythology.
From the far east to our
own western heritage, numbers have carried meaning for millennia.
Numbers and
Synchronicity
How many times have you seen repetitive numbers such as,
11:11, 777, 1010,
4444, 999 and so forth?
Seeing repetitive numbers
is a form of
synchronicity
- a phenomenon described by psychiatrist Carl Jung as,
"a meaningful
coincidence of two or more events where something other than the
probability of chance is involved."
In other words,
synchronicity is far more than serendipity which involves luck and
chance.
Synchronicity is birthed
from the realm of the unconscious and etheric realms. When we
experience synchronicity we are being sent signs and messages from
our unconscious mind and Higher Self.
For example,
Jung described a
situation of synchronicity where he came to notice a half man
half fish symbol. He was then served fish for lunch.
Someone joked about
making an "April fish" of another.
In the afternoon, one
of his patients showed him a picture of a fish.
In the evening
another person showed him an embroidery of sea monsters and
fishes.
The next morning his
next patient shared with him a dream she had about a fish.
Synchronicity can
actually be quite unnerving, especially when certain symbols - and
in this case, numbers - keep appearing.
If you are seeing the same number over and over again,
it's essential that you try to explore the symbolism such a number
contains for you.
The repetitive numbers,
symbols, and words that you keep hearing all have tremendous
importance about your life that you should pay keen attention to.
Numbers and
Symbolism
All throughout history numbers have come to mean different things to
different cultures.
However, overall, numbers
have been given similar meanings.
Take the number four, for example.
The Native Americans
believe that there are four winds and four directions.
Along a similar line,
the Ancient Greeks believed that there were four elements.
In Christianity, four
is the number of creation (i.e. on the fourth day of the week
God finished creating the material universe).
As we can see, four has a
very similar meaning across three completely different time periods
and cultures.
Just a note, though. I want to emphasize that while it's beneficial
to find out the general meaning of numbers, it is imperative that
you find out your personal meaning...
Synchronicity, symbolism,
and the meaning of numbers is all extremely personal,
so be wary of prescribing a meaning to your life that is not
actually correct or relevant.
It can be tempting to not put in any work and just go with what the
traditional meaning of the number is. Please don't do this. It's
much better to put in a little work and explore what the meaning of
numbers means for YOU primarily.
Here are a few ways to find out what each number means to you and
your context:
-
Write down every
word association you have with the number
For instance, if
you keep seeing the number 2 you might write,
"male and
female, relationships, yin and yang, duality, light and
dark, up and down, material and spiritual …"
-
What pops into
your mind?
After you see a
series of repetitive numbers you might immediately have a
thought or inkling about what the number means.
Don't ignore this
immediate interpretation! Write it down or record it. Often
the meanings we first ascribe to the numbers we see are the
truest because little mental effort is involved.
The more mental
effort, the more we start fabricating meanings.
-
What
interpretation triggers strong feelings within you?
Many people ask
me how to know whether their interpretation of a number is
correct. My answer is to pay attention to how triggering the
interpretation is.
For example, does
your analysis stir up feelings of excitement, awe, fear,
jubilation, or even just send tingles down your spine?
This is a good
sign that you've found the right explanation because your
body is reacting in such a heightened way. However, if the
interpretation you have feels cold, flat, or detached, it's
probably the wrong fit.
The Meaning of
Numbers
Below I'll share with you the general consensus that mythology,
religion, mysticism, and esotericism have about each number.
As I previously
mentioned, it's important that you find your own meanings,
but it does help to know what each number means.
Sometimes we really are
tuning into the traditional energy, magic, and meaning of each
number:
Number 0
Zero is representative of the primordial void, the womb, the
realm of potential.
Zero is a circle that
symbolizes totality:
that which
precedes life, the eternal force.
It is nothing and
everything, the beginning and the end. Zero is often symbolic of
Spirit or God, and hence of unity and wholeness.
Number 1
One symbolizes leadership, strength, and confidence.
Number one is like a
straight arrow which reflects willpower and precision. One is
also reflective of individuality, self-discovery, and
self-empowerment.
Unlike zero, which is
feminine and receptive, one has a masculine and willful energy.
Number 2
Two is the number of duality:
the split we
perceive in life between light and darkness, inside and
outside, yin and yang, masculine and feminine, good and bad,
life and death, mind and heart, and so on.
On one hand, two
symbolizes partnership, but on the other, it symbolizes conflict
and opposition.
When balanced, two is
a number of harmony, but when imbalanced, the number two can be
destructive.
Number 3
Three is typically seen as a particularly lucky and powerful
number.
Three represents the
divine principle that underlies life such as,
the mind, body,
and spirit; birth, life and death; beginning, middle and
end; past, present and future, and so forth.
Spiritual traditions
such as Wicca and Christianity symbolize the spiritual force as
a triune, for example,
the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as well
as the Maiden, Mother, and Crone.
Three is symbolic of
success, intuition, and good fortune.
Number 4
Four is a grounded and stable number that evokes a feeling of
calmness and solidity. Four is very much rooted in the physical
world and is about being present and in the "now."
For example, there
are,
four seasons,
four elements, and four corners of the earth.
Four is about
building a strong foundation and developing a down-to-earth
perspective.
Number 5
Five is a number of adventure and freedom.
Five is also a very
sensual number (five senses, five fingers and toes) and it's
about enjoying life, trying new experiences, and seeking out
pleasure.
This number is also
connected to experiencing life changes (such as marriage,
divorce, new jobs) and making important choices.
Number 6
Six represents a balance between the earthly and spiritual
realms.
Six is also connected
to,
intuition,
clairvoyance, and other extrasensory capacities (hence the
"sixth" sense)...
In numerology, six is
the number of the caretaker; the person who nurtures and
compassionately serves others.
Number 7
Seven is a magical number that is associated with synchronicity,
luck, and perfection:
seven chakras,
seven colors of the rainbow, seven days in the week, etc.
Seven is also seen as
a mystical number that is connected to spiritual awakening,
introspection, and the development of wisdom.
This number is
connected with the pursuit of Truth and the desire for a
deeper understanding of life.
Number 8
Eight is connected to abundance, prosperity, and financial
well-being.
Resourcefulness,
hard work, determination, and inner strength are all
qualities of eight.
Spiritually, eight is
seen as an equalizer or balancer (hence its shape) that unites
the conscious with the unconscious, and earthly with the
spiritual.
In other words, eight
is reflected in the proverb "you will reap what you sow."
Number 9
Nine is the number of fulfillment.
Wisdom,
self-examination, enlightenment, and higher consciousness
are all qualities associated with number nine.
Nine is also
connected to one's higher purpose and ultimate life mission;
this number encourages us to take a bird's eye view of our
lives.
Number 10
Ten represents completion:
the ending of a
cycle and the attainment of wholeness.
Ten is both masculine
and feminine and reflects the unity that is possible once we
integrate the fragmented pieces of our inner selves.
Number 11
Eleven is a powerful number that is often referred to as the
'spiritual messenger.'
This number carries
with it both positive and negative associations.
On one hand,
eleven can represent the need to make an urgent change
(hence the saying "the eleventh hour"), but on the other,
eleven is connected with one's destiny.
In other words,
seeing eleven can tell you a lot about your life path and what
paths you should or shouldn't walk.
Luna wrote
about number eleven more in-depth in
this 11 11 article.
Number 12
Twelve is the number of cosmic order.
For example,
there are twelve months in the year, twelve astrological
signs, twelve hours in a day, twelve personality archetypes,
etc.
According to
numerology, twelve is the number of creative and individualistic
self-expression.
Understanding the meaning of numbers gives you that extra layer of
insight when it comes to self-discovery and realization.
While the personal
meaning you assign to numbers might not always conform to the above
descriptions, I hope these explanations help to shed some insight.
Personally, noticing
repeating numbers and exploring their meanings has helped me
crystallize many important insights.
Many of these
insights helped to change the course of my life.
So paying attention
to the meaning of numbers and synchronicity is no small thing!
Sometimes you will
see a repetitive number like 1010 or 555
that helps to affirm a decision you've been wanting to make.
Pay attention, because
your Soul and
the Universe are often sending you these types of signs.

Do you Keep Seeing this Unusual and Powerful
Number? -

Numbers
are the Universal language
offered by the
deity to humans
as confirmation
of the truth.
St.
Augustine of
Hippo
(A.D. 354 - 430)
You have just glanced at the number again on the clock: 11:11 am.
A chill runs through
your spine.
Deep down you
intuitively sense that this number has some kind of great
importance... but you don't know what.
If you have been seeing
11 11 and other repetitive numbers such as 111, 222, 333, 444, 555,
1010, 1212, 777, and so forth, pay attention!
There is an important
reason why you're seeing these numbers more often: these numbers are
wake up calls from your Soul and the Universe.
The Secret
Meaning of Numbers
Numbers
have a way
of taking a man
by the hand
and leading him
down the path of
reason.
Pythagoras
It was the ancient Greek philosopher
Pythagoras who first
popularized the idea that all numbers have different vibrational
properties.
Since then, modern
science and mathematics have proven that the world conforms to
precise geometric mathematical principles. These principles govern
everything from gravity to the movements of animals and the habits
of humanity.
It was from Pythagoras' discoveries about the world that the ancient
system of
Numerology was developed.
Some scholars even
believe that Numerology pre-dates Pythagoras and derives from the
ancient mystical Hebrew Kabbalah which is thousands of years
old.
Numerology is a system of divination which assigns various numbers
unique meanings based on mathematical principles.
According to numerology,
everything can be calculated such as birth dates, names, and places
to uncover deeper hidden truths.
11 11 Meaning
According to numerology, the number 11 is a "master number" which
signifies,
intuition, insight,
and enlightenment...
When paired together, 11
11 is a clear message from the universe to become conscious and
aware.
Many people suggest
that seeing 11 11 signifies that your spirit guides are
attempting to contact you.
In my experience, 11
11 seems to be the number of
spiritual awakening, signifying
that,
In other words,
seeing 11 11 is a good sign...!
An energetic
doorway is being opened in which you will experience
spiritual growth.
11 11 meaning in summary:
You are on the right
path and you're being assisted by your Soul, spirit guides, and
the Universe to consciously grow and expand.
Pay attention, be aware,
and remember to
stay grounded in the present
moment.
You are going through a
spiritual awakening process and you're being asked to tune into the
love and synchronistic guidance that is always available to you.
Many profound changes
will begin to occur in your life.
Remember to stay open...!
11 11 Meaning
and Twin Flames
As we've just learned, 11 11 is a number connected to the spiritual
awakening process.
Sometimes, part of that
journey involves meeting your soul mate or twin flame
- that is, entering a spiritual partnership that is designed to help
you grow on every level.
If you have been looking
for love and keep seeing 11 11, this might signify that your twin
flame or soul mate is about to enter your life.
Be open, receptive, and
mindful of any signs or dreams that emerge during this time.
What Do I Do After
Seeing 11 11?
As you consciously expand, you will find yourself seeing numbers
such as 11 11 more and more.
These instances are known
as
synchronicity, because you are in
the divine flow of life. Personally, I would see 11 11 and other
repetitive numbers sometimes four or five times a day as I began to
experience a spiritual awakening.
All of these numbers
seemed to anchor me into the present moment and the truth I was
experiencing.
I would always feel more
grounded and lovingly guided during these periods, knowing that
there was "something happening" beyond the veil of physical reality.
In order to make the most of this energetic "doorway," you might
like to adopt a few practices:
-
11 11 meaning
and your life
Ask yourself, "What does 11 11 signify to me?"
In other words,
when you see this number, how do you feel or what thoughts
arise in your head? Your 11 11 meaning will often vary each
time you see it.
For example, one
moment it might mean "pay attention!" and on another day it
might mean "you are on the right path, keep going."
-
Stay open and
receptive
Be alert to new opportunities for growth. 11 11 often
signifies that a period of change is about to start
within you.
Remember that all
people, feelings, and situations that you come across are
chances to spiritually evolve.
-
Remain
grounded and present
Our tendency to live through the mind creates immense stress
and anxiety.
During this
awakening period, try to stay grounded in the present
moment. You might like to practice mindfulness, deep
breathing or meditation to help you stay centered.
The more present
you can be, the more you will be available for growth.
-
Show gratitude
Life responds positively to gratitude.
Even the simplest
act of giving thanks for what you have and the guidance
you're receiving, uplifts your spirit immediately.
Gratitude opens
the heart, and when your heart is open, it is ready to
expand.
Some cultures
like the Peruvian
Q'ero people, even create
gratitude offerings to the earth known as despachos.
Why not create one yourself?
-
Ask for
guidance when needed
All of us, no matter who we are or what period of life we're
in, need help.
If you need
advice or help, reach out to someone you trust. Speak with a
close friend, family member, spiritual guide or best of all,
your own Soul...
One of the
simplest but most effective ways to receive guidance, in my
experience, is saying a prayer. Address your prayer to
whomever or whatever you believe in, whether that be God,
Goddess, Allah, Krishna, Life or Spirit.
I prefer to
address my prayers to my Soul.
The number 1 itself signifies creation, leadership, and
manifestation, so 11 11 is a dynamic number full of great potential.
You may see this number on number plates, clocks, cash register
tills, receipts, and just about anywhere. So pay attention! (On a
strange sidenote, 11.11.11 was actually the date of
my union with Mateo.)
Guidance is always available for you if you're open to receiving it.
Seeing repetitive numbers
is just one of many synchronistic signs that show you're going in
the right direction...
