Eleven? You Betcha.

If I ever go to a casino, I'm betting on number 11. I thought last night that I knew the reason I've been seeing the number. I thought that with that answer the number would stop. I'm still seeing 11. This morning, I got out of the shower. Normally I'm out by 6:15am to 6:17am. When I stepped out of the shower this morning and looked at the clock, it was 6:11. I get to work, look at the clock, it's 7:11. And that's not all, I see 11 on the dashboard of the car, I see 11 on timestamps, 11 on emails, 11 on newsgroup postings, numbers that are divisible by 11, basically, the number continues to haunt me. I thought the universe would stop showing me the number once I got the message. Either I don't have the right message or I'm going to be haunted by 11 for the rest of my life.

Last night I figured it out, thanks to the help of my spiritual friend, buddy, confidante, whatever you want to call him, I'd even call him spiritual advisor, although he'd prefer to say I figured it out all on my own. The number 11 looks like two people standing side-by-side. If those two people are holding hands, they are connected. It is a symbol of unity. It doesn't just apply to couples, it applies to everyone, to nations, to races, to ages, to old people, children, men and women. The answer is unity. Do not stand divided. Metaphorically speaking, hold hands. One and one make two which makes one when the gap is bridged.
