When my sister started seeing a combination of numbers on her digital clock, mainly 11:11 and 1:11, with increasing frequency, she was in distress not knowing what it all meant. It was the mid-eighties, and no one around us thought that there was any particular meaning to it. When I happened to notice this too, occasionally, I thought it was because she had pointed it out to me. Years went by without me thinking about it anymore, then I started seeing it again, on my own. At that time, people from all over the world were experiencing the same synchronicity, it did not feel like an isolated occurrence anymore. A Google search on 11 11 phenomenon, 11:11, or 11 11 meaning, will show countless sites mentioning this, and people talking about it in forums. This occurrence is too widespread to be just a simple coincidence, and chances are that it has also happened to you.
Why is this happening on a global scale to so many people? What does 11:11, or the number 11 in general mean?
It is interesting to note that the Great Alignment of December 21, 2012 Winter Solstice – and the end of the Mayan Long Count cycle – will happen at exactly 11:11 a.m. Universal Time (you can check your corresponding local time here). Also, the date 12.21.2012 = 11.
The 11:11 phenomenon – as it is now called – seems to trigger encoded memories and it acts as a wake up call. While the sequence of 1 is the most specific, there is talk also about other combination of numbers or double digits, such as 2:22, 3:33 and so on, 10:10, 12:34, 12:12. etc.
The appearance of 11:11 is seen by many as an activation sequence. When we happen to notice it, there is a moment of opportunity to remember who we truly are. It is the bridge between duality and Oneness, triggering a remembrance at the cellular level that we are One. Eleven is the higher octave of the number two, where duality is transcended on a higher level of consciousness. We move from perceiving two (2/separation/Self and Others), to seeing All as aspects of the One (11/unity/Self and Other-Selves).
The article 11:11 Digital Time Code has interesting insights about this phenomenon and the significance of the number eleven, stating that this sequence triggers the activation of our DNA and the evolution of consciousness, where 11 represents spiraling twin strands of human DNA moving into higher frequency of consciousness.
Physical reality is a consciousness program created by digital codes. Numbers, numeric codes, define our existence. Human DNA, our genetic memory, is encoded to be triggered by digital codes at specific times and frequencies. Those codes awaken the mind to the change and evolution of consciousness. 11:11 is one of those codes, meaning activation of DNA.
It is to be noted that the infamous 9/11 attack has a high occurrence of the number 11. Why would that be, if the 11:11 phenomenon is a positive one of raising consciousness? I believe that the message is to choose Love over Fear no matter what, to realize that we are playing a Cosmic Game that in this density is offering us a choice of polarity between positive and negative. No matter how “real” it all seems, we must remember that physical reality as we know it is deconstructing, and that we are about to perceive the physical world in a completely new way. What is such a tragic event and loss of life triggering within us? Do we choose peace over war and destruction, and unity over separation and hatred?
Some say that this is the moment when our thoughts take shape and we manifest quicker. Another theory is that these occurrences are ways for Spirit Guardians, or Angels, to get in touch with us and who are ready to assist whoever will ask for their help. I share the view expressed in the article on 2012 Rising that this interpretation is not of great interest to most 2012 researchers. I believe that such a global mass phenomenon, as the 11:11 occurrence has become, is related to the Shift and the Awakening of mankind.
The article touches some very intriguing points regarding the connection between the 11:11 phenomenon and 2012, keeping also in mind the Mayan symbol for number 11, and on the Sun’s behavior effecting Earth’s biosphere:
The reason why the Sun becomes important in the 11:11 subject is not simply the solstice point in our calendar. It also happens to be that the sun’s magnetic field operates a cycle of polarity reversals averaging 11.11 years in length. The next peak of this cycle happens to be in the year 2012 and has been predicted by some astrophysicists to likely be a very active maximum. Some posit possibly the most active since the end of the last ice-age.
The intriguing possibility is that the Sun – as a conscious entity – is “speaking to us through the very devices that display its movement through the divisions of the day”, letting the Beings living within the Sun’s magnetosphere know of the coming solar majestic event, which will effect everyone on the Planet.
Another most fascinating interpretation regarding the Galactic Alignment is in the article THE DIGITAL SIGNIFICANCE of the WINTER SOLSTICE of 2012. Based on the idea that that our holographic reality is an intelligently created “simulation” – which the author Peter A. Gersten calls a “Cosmic Computer Program (CCP)” – there is a particular point in time and space of the 36 years alignment cycle, when a very unusual event occurs. The 2012 winter solstice is the only one in recorded history to happen at 11:11 U.T.
Most synchronistic is the fact that both 2012 and 11:11 are numerical metaphors for the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next. Could 21122012 be cosmic shareware with 11:11 the cosmic equivalent of “exe”?
11:11 also has another symbolic meaning – one involving a “cosmic portal.” I doubt that it is just an insignificant coincidence that during the aforementioned galactic alignment the Maya believed that a portal would materialize within the dark rift at the center of our galaxy.
Seeing 11:11 is a message to activate the light and awaken from this illusory reality, a reminder of a global event that will move human consciousness from third into fourth density (which could very well be the “exe”, on autorun after a cosmic download). A portal into a higher density will be opened.
11:11 – It’s time to wake up and get ready for the Shift. The time of Awakening. Are you ready?






















Hi Palma. Very exciting post. When I see the 11:11 on
the clock face I Remember that The Creator has never
been separate from Me/Us. We are All evolving Ultimately
to greater Awareness as to who We really are. These are
especially exciting Times!

Hi Marty – That’s really a good thing to remember, and it is the underlying message of the 11:11 phenomenon. The veil of separation will be lifted. Exciting times indeed!
Haha wow Palma, i was reading this to see what i thought about the 11:11 thing, admitedly skeptical… but i looked at the clock and right about when i finished reading it was 11:11.
I’m starting to notice some meta-sychnronicities in this world.
Hi Zach – There is a special feeling when that happens! I noticed that the more I consciously want to see it, the more it eludes me. The moment I go with the flow, there it is – 11:11. Last night I pushed a button on the remote control by mistake, and it displayed the time on the TV screen. Guess what time it was…
Hmmm… wonder why this doesn’t happen with 12:57? Oh yeah… Because you’re not gonna remember every time you see 12:57, as it is an unusual number. Every single time you see 11:11, you’re gonna realize it, and it’s going to SEEM like you see it more frequently than anything else, when in reality you are seeing it at the exact same frequency as any other number. The reason you think it occurs more is because it’s easy to recognize. And of course once you are aware of it, you will notice it every time. Come on, you guys can’t seriously be this gullible and stupid… I mean seriously! Use some common sense! You could make the argument, well why don’t we notice it with 5:55 or 4:44 and so on? Well 11:11 is even more unique because it is the only 4 digit time that is all the same number. You can take ANY NUMBER and make endless connections with so many things around you, so long as you’re trying. I’ll see you guys December 13, 2012, and nothing will be out of the ordinary.
Hi Scott – I appreciate your thoughts about it. 12:57 would do just fine if it seen repeatedly enough to make you stop and think. Some online forum discussions are not just about 11:11, but other patterns as well (12:34, 5:55, etc.). The reason why 11:11 is more popular, is because it seems to be a global phenomenon (while the other patterns are an individual phenomenon). 11 is also a master number with a special numerological significance, and of course it has a connection with the winter solstice of 2012, happening at 11:11 a.m. UT.
I agree with you that generally when you are aware of something, you’ll notice it more. The question is, why is this particular pattern seen globally by so many people? Why has this phenomenon taken a planetary scale? Many of them not even knowing about 2012, and getting to know about it after noticing the pattern?
On December 13 we are still in this timeline, according to the Timewave Zero theory. You meant December 22? I always tell my skeptical friends that I will leave my cell phone on…
If I have to choose between expecting that everything will be the same for ages to come, with the same dreadful wars and level of planetary suffering, or envision a quantum leap – anticipated since ancient times – that will catapult humanity into a higher level of being, I choose the latter.
Hi Palma. Let me relate this experience that happened in the wee hours of December 11 for whatever it’s worth.
The day was dark and gloomy to begin with, and the night was cold and the wind was actually whistling. Still I felt a particular joyful energy and Oneness within myself. I can only describe it as magical. I chatted with my Girlfriend who lives an hour away, early in the evening. She has been telling me that she has been waking up at 3:33 am from time to time in the last few months. She does not actively pursue metaphysical information and could be considered a “layman” in matters of the 11:11 phenomenon. The last thing I said to her was,”Maybe I’ll visit you in your dreams tonight”, which she took as comedy. She is a Positive person of angelic proportions.
In the early morning my phone rang and woke me out of a very deep sleep. My girlfriend was calling and she was frantic. She had also called her son as well who is away at school and wanted to know if everybody was okay. I told I was okay and asked her why she was worried. She told me that she had awaken out of a deep sleep at 3:33 am. Only this time an electronic device had activated and her computer had come to life out of sleep at the same time.
I told her not to worry. The Infinite has only loving messages and signs for us. After she called I fell back to sleep in a few minutes with a smile. I was happy for her. The “Lords of Karma” are sublime expressions of the Creator’s Love.
Hi Marty – What a great story! I am sure that with your wise guidance, your girlfriend will read between the lines and get her message from the Universe. Her subconscious mind knows this already, it just need to be brought forth into her conscious awareness. The 333 sequence represents Trinity, the union with the divine essence. She is not alone in this, looking online it seems that many people are getting this message. Try to google “Significance of 333″!
Here is an interpretation from the site Spiritual-Path.com
I believe that while the 11:11 global phenomenon is the wake up call for the Shift specifically, the other sequences are targeted messages that will lead eventually to the awareness of the Shift. And isn’t it lovely that while she got her 3:33 call, this happened on the 11th, which signified for you that all is well!
Thanks Palma. I did tell her that she just got a “!” lol
Any thoughts on ear tone rings? They last between 2 – 20 secs and can be in either ear. Mostly in my right ear. I have tried to think about what is happening around me when they appear but as yet can’t link them to anything.
Hi Bob – You are not alone, experiencing the ear tone rings. I have seen them discussed in forums as well. I hear them too, during the day like a ring tone, but at night also like a sudden sound which is hard to describe (almost like a metallic clap with a voice sound Ah! – they vary). For some reason, I associate the louder sounds with DNA and electrical rewiring of the body. The other ones may be subtler frequencies that we are now able to hear. Some say that they are an ascension symptom.
It is a widespread phenomenon, due to rising energy fields, and very distinct from the “tinnitus” medical condition. Here are some people discussing it, but you can find a lot more online:
ringing in my ears
What is that high pitch ringing in my ears?
Oriented signal tones
Hope this helps!
“Believe nothing merely because you’ve been told it. But whatever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all – that doctrine believe & cling to, and take it as your guide.” – Buddha.
And if we were all still on clockface time 11.11 would mean jack shit. I think encouraging people to think something AMAZING’s gonna happen in 2012, like ‘magic’ is not ‘conducive to the good, the benefit and the welfare of all’. I’m with Scott; we’ll all wake up Dec 22 with the SOS [same old shit]; chopping wood, hauling water, whatever. These amazing Mayans used to sacrifice human slaves to appease the gods [more likely the masses] you know.
The excerpt: “The appearance of 11:11 is seen by many as an activation sequence. When we happen to notice it, there is a moment of opportunity to remember who we truly are” is about the only worthwhile thing to take out of this article. My god, I thought the dark ages, black cats, & superstitions were gone, way behind us.
Hi Marc, I am glad that at least one sentence of the article was worth reading! I am aware that there are divergent views on the 2012 phenomenon, so disagreement is part of the game. Personally, I don’t see the anticipation of a Shift in consciousness as superstition. If this anticipation happened worldwide on a very large scale, the shift would take place regardless of “ancient prophecies”, just by the power of our thoughts. Consciousness influences matter. It is not me saying so, but the science of quantum physics. By anticipating the SOS, this is what we perpetuate. Humanity longs for a change.
If we end up waking up to the SOS, so be it. But at least I will know that I have done my part in helping to bring this change about. And the kind of change that many of us seekers anticipate, is along the lines of what the Buddha said. That is, kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, and the welfare of all.
It is up to each one of us individually, to choose where we want to focus our consciousness. SOS, or peace and the evolution of mankind?
Hello, I fully endorse your observation, but the time of 11:11 was a 1 year ago, may now be the frequency changed and I see a pair of 19:19, 7:17, 21:21.
