Hello Lin,

My apologies for the delayed reply and thank you for reaching out. Also, sorry to hear about your botched surgery on 11/11. My heart goes out to you on that one.

My back surgery did have its own complications, although it did enable me to get back on my feet after 5 months. Fortunately, and rather recently, I have been going through acupuncture therapy which has helped me a lot. You may consider this as an option for your own pain if you haven't already.

Anyhow, you are spot on with your "intuitive" suggestion. As s Pisces, I've always had a heightened sense of people's emotions. I had to learn how to detach without forgoing empathy for my fellow human beings.

Like most Pisces, I am an artist and independent filmmaker. It is during those times that I am in "creative mode", that 11's seem to be everywhere. I saw 3 of those on my digital clocks today alone. I don't believe in coincidence so have ruled that out completely.

Thank you again for sharing your own story and hope you have a full recovery from your pain. I can certainly relate.

Take care.

Sorry, I'm replying to my own post. I lost part of it since apparently I exceeded the word count. Remember, I'm a Newbie. 

I'll pick up here: Oh, it's 11:11 as I'm typing this, btw.

When I first joined the USAF, my first day of basic training was April 11. After serving a stint at Eglin AFB, I was assigned to the 11th Strategic Group in England.

I lost my mother a few years ago in November; the eleventh month of the year.

Last year, I had back surgery, on August 11th.

Understandably, a skeptic will say that if anyone looks hard enough in their life time, you'll see patterns anywhere. This is true since I didn't notice the pattern until I started looking. But I ask, what prompted me to look in the first place?

Once I noticed the very familiar pattern of 11's that keep popping up on my digital clocks, license plate numbers on the road, airport gates, cell phones, etc., I can't deny that this is more than just coincidence. Besides, I no longer believe in coincidences.

All I know is, I don't fear this phenomena since I understand that we human beings have a natural tendency to fear the unknown. Actually, I am more intrigued than anything else and like many of you, am looking for a deeper meaning.

I love reading your individual stories and can definitely relate. I hope we can all find the answer together.

Hello fellow "eleveners",

I just joined this group, and am pleased to find a place where I can share with others this apparently growing phenomena, without people thinking I'm crazy, or at least delusional. Not that anyone has outwardly expressed that, but you can almost see it in their eyes, hence, politely humoring me.

As a disclosure, I'm an independent filmaker and artist when I'm not working my day job, so it is understandable for anyone to conclude that I am susceptible to having a vivid imagination due to my creativity. Of course, I hope that by joining this community, that you allow me the benefit of the doubt.

I can't recall exactly when I started experiencing the very familiar, "I looked at the clock, and I keep seeing 11's. After all, patterns are hard to distinguish until it keeps happening repeatedly over a course of time.

Once I discovered it, I then took the time to find patterns through out my life and was amazed that 11 had been a huge part of my entire life. I never knew...

Ok, this one I admit is a stretch, but please go along with me. I was born on Feb. 21st. If you break down the individual digits of 21 you get, 2 -1. Eleven is comprised of "two ones". If you're still not convinced I don't blame you.

My first familiar address was growing up in the Bronx residing in a project building. We lived on the 11th floor.

My shoe size is an 11 wide. Well, actually 11 1/2 but who cares about that other number.
