11.11.11 Meaning and Thoughts

Wednesday, November 9th, 2011




It’s coming up, 11-11-11, and I’ve gotten requests for reflection on this numerologically significant day.  I pull from a myriad of resources while exploring symbolic potential of a number, and investigating 11-11-11 meaning has offered rabbit trails of possibilities.  So, thanks for all the requests, and here are some ideas about what this number meaning might imply for upcoming developments.

Congruency:  Sometimes when I’m meditating with numbers, I’m coached to view them visually rather than as numbers.  When this happens, I’m struck with the conveyance of perfection and balance.  In this light, 11-11-11, might be a message to give thanks for that which is working perfectly in our lives.  This perspective also talks about things “lining up” – this could mean things are lining up in our lives in ways that influence what we’ve been focused on in our lives.  This visual approach to number-interpretation also bears a message of balance.  This upcoming date might be the perfect opportunity to achieve more balance by lining up our own thoughts and environment – putting things in order.

Yang: Ones are yang energy, so there’s no denying a very male, assertive, expressive energy in this number combo.  When we’re contemplating 11-11-11 in the context of archetypal gender, the number one vibrates with an motivated, ambitious energy.  Historically, male/yang energy is also very protective too.   Ones are governed by the Sun (also male in most cultural views, not all), which is a symbol of vitality, energy, health and generosity.  These are some symbolic ideas to keep in mind while contemplating the upcoming potential of 11-11-11.  Oh, and for those of us who know there can be no yang force without yin…I thought of that too.  I was first concerned about the lack of yin energy in 11-11-11, but the feminine is there.  She is either implied (hyphens), or female energy can be found in the groupings of three (three sets of 11).  Yin energy to this number combo will be strongly supportive in matters of creativity. [More on Yin Yang symbolism here.]

Numbers: Reduced, 11-11-11 meaning boils into the number six, which is ruled by Venus - so we’re talking about harmony, also balance.  Venus (Aphrodite), as we all know, is a love-goddess.  There’s an undeniable love-energy associated with this number combo…both in the six vibration and the three vibration (three sets of 11).  In my meditations, I have felt very distinct love-goddess energy connected with this number/day, but it’s been kind of a domestic love, not so much a amorous feeling.  Meaning, this day may offer the opportunity to be swept off your feet with the simple joys life offers.  Through tenderness and a renewed outlook, many of us will have a chance to fall in love all over again – but in a unique sort of way. [More on number meanings and symbolism here.]

Creativity:  As mentioned, there are three groupings of 11′s, and this speaks to me of intense creativity.  Backed by yang energy, we’re talking about ‘in your face’ creativity…really powerful and expansive.  Do you have creative goals, projects, desires you need to tend to?  11-11-11 will be great energy to see those creative visions into reality.

Change & Choice: Anytime I see number 11, I’m compelled to see a doorway – a doorway of choice.  Eleven’s signify a clear choice to be made (1+1=2).  Visually, the 11 looks like two pillars one could walk through and between.  Sometimes I use the appearance of 11 in my life as a way to find that “in between” space…the space of total balance in which no choice is required (which is really a choice in itself).  In meditation, I see myself moving through the “zero” (no choice) implied between the two one’s of a binary code.  Try it some time.  Trippy, fun, clarifying.  My point here is…for some of us, 11-11-11 will be a major portal – a moment in time we can walk through with the promise of change and choice on the other end. [More on 11 as gateway here.]

Tarot: Because I see 11-11-11 more visually sometimes than as a number, it’s natural for me to see one’s as rods (or wands) in the Tarot.  So, I revisited the six of rods in the Tarot. [More on six if rods symbolism here.]  (You could also research the Justice card, 11 of the Major Arcana for more insight into 11 energy).

The Tarot as delivery system of wisdom asks us these questions in relation to 11-11-11 energy:

  • Can I maturely handle public acclaim and success?
  • Now that I’ve reached a zenith, what’s my next step?
  • Am I recognizing partnerships that have facilitated my success?
  • Positive recognition from others is great, but am I still letting my inner voice take the lead in my decisions?
  • What is my guiding force?
  • Am I prepared for the responsibility this public success and exposure implies?

And lest we forget the 20 energy (2011), which tends to speak to us about choice (2). For me, this date (and the times associated with it) talks about making some clear choices and being surrendered (0) to the results.  Surrendered?  Yeah, zero has a very zen vibe, it asks us to release to the moment…to be okay with the void.

As with all my writings, these are just my own musings.  I would highly encourage personal reflection and contemplation on this subject – especially if the date and number combo feel important to you.  The following are some potentially helpful links for your research into 11-11-11 meaning and implication:

Seeds as a Symbol of Consciousness

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010


Seeds - A Symbol of Consciousness?

Seeds - A Symbol of Consciousness?

Last night, in the dreamtime, symbolic seeds were sown into the meaty furrows of my brain.  Their manifested identities known only to my deeper consciousness.  It was a fabulous sensation.  The grey matter of my mind seemed willing, pliable and moistly awaiting the first touch of root to mental-membrane.  

A good dream. An oracle of potential growth.  A sign of depositing new ideas into old rows with the hope and promise of a bumper crop of…of what?  Creativity?  Productivity? New kinds of nourishment?  Food for a hungry mind?  New neuro-network patterns?

Who knows.  Dream-walking advances at a far different pace than common ambulation.  That means, I’ll have to walk calmly between multiple time-lines to see the cycles of growth these dream seeds represent. 

But in the meantime, while I’m weeding, feeding and cerebrating over these dream seeds, I thought I’d sow a few symbolic thoughts on seeds as a symbol of consciousness.

Traditional symbolic meaning of seeds include:

  • Potential
  • Trust
  • Hope
  • Nourishment
  • Sacred
  • Earthiness
  • Initiation
  • Reproduction
  • Cycles
  • Time
  • Provision

Several years ago, while dining with a colleague, he asked: “What’s the symbol for consciousness?” 

In response, I pulled out a pen and drew a single dot on a paper cocktail napkin. 

“That’s it?” He asked.

“Yep, that’s it.” I said, “The dot represents a single point of awareness.  It is, essentially, a seed.  It is the point of pure potential.  This present moment of focused consciousness gives no clue as to which side of the polarity it leans.  There is no gender, no higher or lower, no light or dark.  It simply is.”

My colleague protested: “But isn’t consciousness expansive?  Pervasive?  Everywhere at all times?  This dot, or seed suggests limitation, and that’s not how I see consciousness.”

I loved this observation, and after pausing a moment to let his implications sink in, I responded:

 ”Yes, I agree with your model of consciousness.  However, I chose this dot to represent a seed as a symbol of consciousness because it is the point of initiation.  Awareness must be initiated.  And the concept of initiation is inherent to the ancient symbolism of seeds.  So, it’s the idea of initiation…specifically, initiating the potential that is powerfully packed in a small unit (a dot, a seed) that I’m emphasizing here.”

I was reminded of this conversation when I woke from my seed dream. 

Those crazy brain seeds!  That tiny dot drawn on a cocktail napkin.  A single unit of initial potential!   

These images made me want to become that dot…to become a seed and

  • Auger a sense of stillness in the midst of daily bustling.   
  • Be as a seed is: Patient, Potent, Packed with potential.
  • Be silent, rest in a damp darkness, suspended.
  • To “just know,” and own remarkable wisdom without the necessity to prove it.
  • Submerge in resolute assurance that transition, growth and ascension is inevitable.

Just thoughts.  Thanks for growing along with me..

15 Fascinating Facts about Your Dreams

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

15 Dream Facts from the MRI Technician School

15 Dream Facts from the MRI Technician School

The following is an excerpt from the MRI Technician School Blog.  Great stuff.  Read the full article here.

  • Late-night snacks can cause nightmares: Nightmares in adults are much less common than in children, but there are some factors that can trigger scary dreams. Besides stress, medications and depression, late night munchies can interfere with your body’s metabolism. Eating late will make your brain feel like it needs to stay active for your body, which can lead to crazy dreams if you fall asleep instead of use up your energy.
  • Dreams occur all the time, not just during REM sleep: Doctors and scientists used to believe that dreams could only occur when people were in their deepest cycles of sleep, or REM sleep. In fact, dreams can occur at any time, though dreams you have during NREM sleep are usually less intense and less vivid. The National Sleep Research Project proposes that “it’s possible there may not be a single moment of our sleep when we are actually dreamless.”
  • Day dreams are real: The psychology department at UC Santa Cruz explains that our bodies and brains don’t necessarily require actual sleep to dream. As long as certain forces are in effect and the environment is right — when we tune out external stimuli but our brains are still active, for example — we have the potential to dream.
  • Smells affect your dreams: A 2008 German study found that positive and negative smells affect dreams: positive smells result in positive dreams while negative or unpleasant smells result in bad dreams.
  • Blind people don’t “see” in their dreams: For people who can see, it can be hard to imagine dreaming without lifelike imagery. But blind people dream, too, though not in the same way. According to The Accidental Mind, people who were born blind or who became blind at a very young age generally experience dreams according to their other senses.

    Crow Dreams and Pearls of Patience

    Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
    Crow Dream Interpretations

    Crow Dream Interpretations


    For many nights now, a behemoth Crow cackles in my consciousness. She comes dressed in her classic black, iridescent robes.  A daughter of Nyx, dark as soot – her presence equally clingy within my inhaling mind.

    Always in moments like these I wonder about the concept of dreaming within dreams, which prompts me to consider reality – and this all leads to a chain-reaction of odd musings that hurl me off-track from my focus.

    And what is my focus?

    Oh, yeah – right…the dream…

    Did you know Crows are mother figures to the Hopitu-Shinumu Indians?  Uh huh.  The Crow is one among the Hopi’s legion of Kachinas.  It descends in the Winter, spitting out seeds like a Tommy Gun run amok – rapid fire and with widespread dissemination being more important than technical aim.  Those seeds represent the promise of the future – the continuation of the tribe.

    This makes sense.  In the span of one month, two mother-figures in my life have left this physical life.  Good for them.  But, not-so-good for those of us left behind dealing with the sucking black holes of our separation-issues.

    Since these so-called “deaths” of important mother-figures in my life, the Onyx Crow keeps cawing in my dreams, and her symbolism keeps shifting, twisting, morphing.  That’s typical.  It’s the Crow way to be elusive.  She makes us work for meaning.  We must earn the epiphanies.  In this way, our understanding of her presence becomes substantial – galvanized in our psyche.  The lessons learned from the Crow are solid, permanent.

    She is shrill and course in her speech.  Her voice pierces like a big-tooth saw heaving through stainless steel, rendering an unearthy sound – metallic, jagged, like reverberating insanity.  Of course, it’s an attention-grabbing technique.  I’ve been numb.  -Nothing like an  other-world “rebel yell” to get one’s attention.

    It works.  I become lucid within the dream, the spectral body sits up bolt-straight.

    Now that she has my attention, the Crow stills her ripping cackles and shits a pearl in my left hand.  Yes, you read that right.

    I borrow hope from the Hopi, interpreting this Crow as a Mother come to rattle my attention until the numb-fluffs are shaken off.

    This interpretive approach is underscored by the presence of that white-bright lustery pearl.  In Chinese symbology, pearls are very yin.  They are associated with water, the moon and feminine themes.  I like how pearls are born from an oceanic womb – dark as night, just like my Mother Crow.

    I also appreciate how pearls are wrought into existence via  a defense mechanism.  Pearls are formed as a response to an irritant or parasitic invasion upon the mollusk.

    This makes sense in context of my recent mental states.  Tons of intruders in the form of rogue emotions/memories/mental frenzies have invaded my space as a result of these recent “deaths.”

    I keep my interpretations of this dream rather loose, because I know my Obsidian Compatriot – that crazy Mother Crow will tweak my perception again.  She is every inch a task-master in spiritual learning.  I also know her pearl-pooping symbolism will morph in meaning too.

    A prime point to be taken away from this post is this: Sometimes a dream interpretation is far from succinct.  Pat answers simply will not apply to certain dreams/experiences.

    There are times when waking and dreaming life coalesce in a weird crockpot, and the symbolic flavors must stew over time before any real sense can be made of any of it.

    That’s a tough pill to swallow for some of us.   In this instant-download-push-button-get-it-now world, the concept of waiting for a big picture to formulate does not sit well.  But wait we must.  Sometimes that’s the only option: Patience in the process, and faith in knowing illumination will come when it’s damn good and ready (and of course, when we are ready to receive).

    Muladhara and Poppy Dreams

    Friday, January 29th, 2010

    Muladhara and Poppy Dreams

    Muladhara and Poppy Dreams



    Last night found me wedged in the womb of a sepal belonging to a poppy on the precipice of bloom.  With no option but to wait until her petals opened in a radiantly red unfolding – I made myself at home.

    Slowflaky pollen clung to my eyelashes and sticky sweetness hung in my nostrils.  My skin was as paper, mimicking the delicately veined and whisper-thin poppy petals.    Cocooned in this petal-pod, there lived safety and security mixed with a sense of anticipation for the expansive moment of unveiling bloom.

    And Muladhara was written all over the dream.  Muladhara is the root chakra, the home-base campfire resting at the bottom rung of the 7-chakra ladder. 

    Its color is red. Not just any red, but a staggering, shockingly vibrant red.  Chakra colors speak volumes about the function and potential of each energy center.   While suspended in that poppy pod dream, the color red was positively electric.  Crimson is a fitting shade for the Muladhara because the symbolism is aflame with vitality. 

    Some common symbolic attributes of the root chakra include:

    • Life
    • Energy
    • Passion
    • Instinct
    • Security
    • Survival
    • Thriving
    • Provision
    • Attraction
    • Physicality
    • Conception
    • Foundation
    • Reproduction

    All the chakras resemble lotus blossoms, which ties in beautifully with the poppy of my dream.  This sprouts themes of blossoming, birthing, unfolding and opening out in energetic expressions.

    Poppies are also sacred to Morpheus, the Greek god of dreams (I discuss this further here).

    So how do all these dreamy bits add up to cohesive meaning?

    I have a few ideas, and by sharing them, perhaps these messages might apply to your life experience too:

    • What instincts are tucked deep within you?
    • If beliefs were a reproductive system, what kind of seeds are you planting?
    • If your potential were a seed pod, what could you do to encourage blossoming?
    • If progress in life depended upon the condition of your soil (environment), how can you nourish & fertilize?
    • If life responded to pheromones (your attitudes/behaviors), what kind of fragrances are you currently emitting?

    Just air-borne thoughts that may take seed in your contemplative growth.

    Other petals for plucking….

    Keeping a Symbolic Soul Clue Journal

    Monday, January 11th, 2010

    Awareness of Symbolic Soul Clues

    Awareness of Symbolic Soul Clues



    What draws your attention?  What tugs at the shirt tales of your awareness?  What sparkles within your cosmic eyes that utterly consumes your sight?

    I ask because, tracking down that which pulls at the yarn-balls of awareness creates  fascinating tapestries of inner-knowing.

    Taking note of what grabs our attention is a compelling way to unearth specialized self-awareness.  Why?  Because we are, first and foremost, perceptive beings.  Second, our levels of perception are multi-dimensional. 

    What do I mean by that? I am saying our perceptions are forever plugged into the cosmic networks of endless supply – endless energy – endless wonder.

    When I was a kid, I fancied that I was made of millions of eyes and as I looked out into the world – each eye saw something different – each eye recorded the data in unique ways too.

    As I got older, I took that concept to new levels.  I started a little notebook and recorded everything that really zapped my awareness in inspiring ways.  Each time something caught my attention, I recorded it in my notebook – a “Soul Clue Journal” of sorts.  I reasoned these things are clues on the trail to tracking down the authentic creatrix within.

    Revolutionary results were born, just by taking notes of the oddly energizing baubles that caught my attention.

    Keeping a “Symbolic Soul Clue” journal can be pivotal in the process of personal discovery and unveiling phenomenal intricacies of the soul.  

    Here are a some insights I had while following where my attention was drawn through daily life:

    • Gaining uncommon ways of learning more about the inner-workings of the variable selves.
    • Learning that some perceptions are non-local, non-linear, wholly unconventional – these perceptions are of cosmic origin.
    • Discovering more about personal advantages, creative impulses, assets.
    • Tapping into an endless data-bank of finely tailored inspiration.

    Within us there are multitudes of untapped geodes just aching to be cracked open wide and spill out glittery wisdom to our waiting awareness.

    Keeping a Symbolic Soul Clue journal is one way to crack those crystalline views.

    Start a notebook of your own today.  Then come back here and tell me what your perceptions are speaking about your soul, your spirit, your energy.  Tell me how broader intelligence prompts you in innovative ways.  Tell me how your soul clues are leading you to demystify the nagging peculiarities in your life experience.

    Have fun :)

    Deserts of Misconception

    Wednesday, December 30th, 2009


    Deserts of Misconception

    Deserts of Misconception

    Last night, I was a dust-encrusted cowboy riding my horse in the desert. 

    My tongue was a dry stone.  My eyes were gritty pits.  Every inch of me made friction noises because my skin was sand paper. 
     
    And I was riding, slowly, aimlessly, exhausted…everything a blur.
     
    And the desert winds blew a question in my sand-stuft ears.  And although muffled, the question was no less demanding.
     
    The inquiry penetrated my granular coma.  The question made me slip off my saddle. 

    But instead of landing in a dry heap upon the blistering desert sands, I splashed in cool, calm Waters – transported – transformed – revived – renewed – refreshed.
     
    Isn’t that a great dream? 

    The desert was amazing.  Even in its killing power, it was an incredible place to be.  And my horse was equisite (I thought – in my “lucid” mind – I wonder if I can go back to the desert for a moment and bring my horse back to this Oasis!).

    You know me – I’m all about the symbolism, and this dream delivers that in spades.

    In my experience, this was the “Desert of Misconception” and we’ve all been a nomad in these desolate lands from time-to-time.

    My dream is a replay of some very archetypal images – a theme of pilgrimage & exodus.  A phase of life in which we endure the lean weeks, months…maybe even years with sometimes only faint whispers of hope to keep us moving forward.

    We’ve all been in that barren land in which our perception is bleak, and we strive to move past unsavory appearances.  It’s why I call it the Desert of Misconception because in spiritual reality – we exist only in Oasis. 

    Happily, each of us has been called out of the desert too.  Maybe we haven’t heeded the call – but the Voice has beckoned us.  I guarantee it.

    We are obligated to keep ourselves keen to the Call that shakes us out of our saddle and splashes us smack-center in the Oasis of Life.

    Even if our ears are stuffed with sand – the Call of the Divine has the power to pierce all obstructions. 

    Listen.  There is more to hear than the soft shuffling of horseshoes in the sands.
