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 shown 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 thanks to 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 you are on the right path and your actions are aligned with your Soul’s purpose. 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.
11 11 and the Spiritual Awakening Journey
Seeing repetitive numbers like 1111 is a form of synchronicity (or a meaningful coincidence) – it can be thought of as a wake-up call; a cry from your deeper Self to pay attention and be present.
In this way, we can see 11 11 as something of a meditation bell: you are being asked to tune into the present moment and the love/guidance that is always available to you. You are being asked to engage more deeply in the mystery and wonder of existence, understanding that there is an Intelligence much greater than yours at play.
Seeing 11 11, or any repetitive number for that matter is, therefore, an intrinsic part of the spiritual awakening process.
Not only does it instill a sense of curiosity and awe within us, but it makes us pause, stop, and question. Momentarily, we exit the asleep and trancelike (or samsaric) mode of living and access a more mindful way of being.
Therefore, if you keep seeing 11 11, you are probably undergoing a spiritual awakening process.
Other signs that you are “waking up” include seeing other spiritual signs and omens (like repeated dreams and animal encounters), experiencing heightened intuition, struggling with a Dark Night of the Soul, craving more solitude, feeling dissatisfied with life, and more. You can read more of these signs – and find out whether you’re having this experience or not – in our spiritual awakening article.
11 11 and Sacred Relationships
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 (or conscious/sacred relationship) 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 your consciousness expands, you’ll find yourself seeing numbers such as 11 11 more and more often. 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 seeing his unusual and powerful number, you might like to adopt a few practices:
1. 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.” You might also like to try journaling about your observations to take these reflections deeper.
2. 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. Ask yourself, “What new opportunities or doorways are being opened to me?“
3. 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, meditation, or other grounding practices to help you stay centered. The more present you can be, the more you will be available for growth. When you don’t stay grounded, you might miss the message that is being offered to you.
4. 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. Being grateful opens the heart, and when your heart is open, it is ready to expand. As a result, gratitude helps you to more deeply integrate the messages and lessons of 11 11.
5. 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. Seeing 11 11 is often a sign that you need to reach out for support and connection.
6. Learn about the meaning of numbers
As you’ve learned in this article, synchronicity is like a meditation bell that momentarily awakens your mind, bringing it into the present moment. Seeing repetitive and synchronistic numbers like 1111, 2222, 3333, etc. is an intriguing part of the spiritual awakening process that can offer you a sense of hope, awe, humility, and guidance. By learning about the meaning of numbers, you will feel more connected to Existence and supported by the Divine – this is particularly important if you’re going through an existential crisis where you feel lost in life.

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 an interesting side note, 11.11.11 was actually the date of my union with Mateo – and we both run this website.)
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. It’s also a sign that you’re waking up or experiencing a spiritual awakening.
Now that you’ve discovered the unique and sacred meaning of this number, I hope that you’ll be able to use this awareness to deepen your spiritual path.
Have you seen repetitive numbers like 11 11 recently? I’d love to know what they meant to you. In what ways are they special to you on your spiritual awakening journey?
I have been noticing in the past month or so 1111 all over and when least expecting to see it. Like picking up the phone to check the time, looking at a clock in public, looking at the car clock it’s just happening beyond what I would call coincidence. It happens when I’m not even thinking about it, but when I see it I pause and it rushes to me that this keeps happening. I have been trying to figure out what it means. I have seen other synchronicities like 2222 and 555 but 111 or 1111 have been most frequent and seem to be picking up. I would like to talk to someone who has more insight about this and maybe get a better understanding of what it means in my particular situation. I am going through some serious transitions soon with work and school and have for a long time battles with I guess what you could call a sort of dark night of the soul and feeling dissatisfied with my life and lack of meaningful relationships and a craving to reconnect to spirit. Is this part of that? I need some positive change and hope that what I am doing is right because I feel very alone and unsure of my path all the time.
I have seen 11:11 for years. I flew from NC to CA a few weeks ago for holistic healing and am seeing it everywhere including pages of books I have stopped reading on. My question is how common is this for someone to see 11:11? Thanks!
You need to find a good church
I was born at 1:11 am and have always been the “different” one in my family. I also have the marks of a healer on my hand (the 4 or 5 lines below the pinky finger) as well as others. However, I’m feeling lost in life, as if I need to be doing something and am called to do something but I can’t find my way. I know I’m meant to help others and do in my current career, but I feel like there is something bigger calling me….I just don’t know what or how to get there. I feel like my birth time is significant somehow. Can you possibly help me connect the dots to find out?
Thanks for sharing Sara. There are many approaches to finding your calling. Have you tried journaling? That has always been the first step for me.
I’ve noticed synchronicity for years, and it happens in bursts for me. In a single day, I’ll see 11:11, 12:34, 13:13, 3:33, 11:11, then wake in the middle of the night, and It’ll be 1:11 again. I’m never sure what the meaning or the message is, but i’ll make sure that I acknowledge receiving it. It’s my own way of trying to keep those lines of communication open.
Acknowledging that you’ve “got the message” is a great idea, Steve. Thank you for sharing <3
That is very useful. I’ve been seeing not only 11:11 but many sequential numbers for last few months. Recently.started taking screenshot whenever i see one, and now i have an albumnfull of such screenshots. Most common are 11:11, 22:22, 23:32, 11:22…or repititions like 18:18, 14:14, 19:19, etc. I hope it manifests into something. I’ve been seeking spiritual growth for years now.
GRACIAS

My daughter was born a little less than a month early on 1/11/20. She was airflighted and had serious complications which was an incredibly traumatic experience for my husband and I. I feel this experience has reconnected me to something greater than myself and I have been noticing 11:11 on my stove clock daily. My first thought is that it’s my aunt Becky telling me that everything is going to be okay. My second thought is that there is something extraordinary about my daughter and I am being alerted to it.
I think seeing these numbers is all about yourself and you spiritual awakening… Not about anybody past or present in your life.
Listen…. Meditate… Be in present… Be in yourself… Signs are leading to awakening.
i have been getting the 11.11 hits since 2009 , virtually daily and often twice a day … some examples of what an 11.11 hit is … sending a text to someone close and on pressing send its 11.11 , getting in the car to go tell someone of spirit and the 11.11 occurences and …. its 11.11 when you get in the car … going to bed and as you lie down and pull the sheets over you … its 11.11 ….. Time and Time again in many ways … its 11.11.
I have been in his realm funny enough now for 11 years , i am at peace with it , it warms me. Since 2009 true spirit also somehow found its way into my being , born out of hope .. hope for all .. and in the 3 years that followed what seemed to be a mass of spiritual training … i peacfully can conclude that the only true essence of 11.11 and spirit is Peace and Content , helping others find peace and content , starting with the well being of your loved ones and close ones and folk you encounter on the way … to ease their troubled minds and help them gently find peace and content in their own souls
such things to me the essence of spirit , that gently moves and sways you .. id say that if you are seeing the 11.11 regularly you are of good, draw faith in yourself and cast your mind and awarenesses to all around you to help them find peace and content
I have full Faith in 11.11. I do not know what it is but i do know it is
HI … all you good people of the world that are also within this realm
I also experienced an existential crisis in 2009 and had awakening #1. I have seen 11:11 very frequently since then, along with other synchronicities. Some literally scare the crap out of me because they seem like my predictions coming true.
Anyway, I’m now going through round 2 and hope to get through this with “2020” vision, ya know? It seems like a global shift in perception is taking place. As life gets more difficult I am actually noticing more selflessness in people all around. It’s bizzare, but hey… so is life, existence and consciousness altogether. I suppose we grow and we’re guided, even through the difficulties.
It’s been like couple months and for some reason without even thinking about it I take a glance at the clock and it’s precisely 11:11. I don’t know what it means but I feel that I’m in a rollercoaster of feelings and emotions. When I see this number I can’t help asking for what I pray for everyday. Please help me understand what this means…
I have been seeing this number quite repeatedly (Many times 2 or 3 days back to back, sometimes twice a week or month) but this 11.11 is keep on popping out in my eyes and that too accidentally for 90% of time.
Personally, I always try to be pragmatic and logical in all my thoughts. I always believe in purpose of each of everything that happen or occur, this purpose is sometimes understandable or sometime beyond the scope of understanding.
Initially for few years, it didn’t go into my notice and I didn’t try to find the reason behind these accidental occurrences. I believe in the concept of body clock and I thought each time when it clocks 11.11, my body insist me to check the time. But this was not the case all time. Many times it happens people ask me for time and its 11.11 , sometimes I get message at 11.11 and my screen shines, 2-3 times my mobile suddenly dropped from my desk or bed and my when I check the mobile for damage or not its 11.11, Today I was typing a mail to my boss by keeping the my mobile in front of my keyboard and suddenly my elbow touched my mobile screen and it was 11.11 am in the morning.
I started finding out the reasons for this on google and surprisingly I found many contents written on internet about this mysterious 11.11. While reading, I found your blog writing about the mystery of 1111.
I just want to say thank you to you for writing this blog and making it feel like someone else is also noticing the same.
It was nice connecting to you. We can connect on Facebook at my id Hemang Ajmera from India or drop me email at ajmerahemang2013@gmail.com
Take Care & Have a great time

I have been seeing 11, 111, or 1111 since 2011. I can’t say for certain but what resonates with me is Deuteromony 1:11 or the promise of the 1,000 fold blessing. “May the Lord, the God of your Ancestors multiply you a thousand times more and bless you as He promised.” How beautiful is that?
