Hey Everyone,
Usually i wouldn't post something on a site, but i feel like I should share my experience with the 111 and 111 phenomenom. About 2.5 years ago I was really sick with what was later diagnosed as a gall bladder problem. I lived a life quite different from what I do now, concerned mostly with money, power and image etc. This is when I first began to notice the 1111's. Shortly after my surgery and still today I see this number all the time. I've spent hours upon hours trying to come up with ideas as to why I always see this number. I must point out that after my surgery, I decided to pursue a graduate degree in Theology. Still to this day I cannot explain how I made this decision or on what grounds. It just seemed natural and given the fact that I was disapointed with some of my life choices, I soon found myself in theological studies. Until recently i have feared that the number represented a period or date to which my life would change...possibly for the worst. I have asked all sorts of scholars and philosophers if they have any insight as to this phenomenom, but to little avail. In my studies I think that it should be mentioned that Mark 1:11 says: "And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased."" I've found confort in this and found various other sites which explain this phenomenom as a union between the angelic and temporal spheres. To me I now associate 111 and 1111 with the gift of the Spirit, offering grace and comfort that we are not alone in our life journey. I use the passage as an explanation that though we continuously live in temptation and constanly feel the struggle between good and evil, that God still smiles at us, offering us forgiveness for our transgressions. Joseph I completely argree with you and am quite surprised to see that this phenomenom is greater than I could have ever imagined. Currently I am in a major transition period in my life as my theological studies are nearly completed, and really unsure as to what my future holds. Recently the 1111 has become more visible and I continue to adhere to my fatalistic viewpoint that I will end up where I should.
Joseph, I am very interested in getting in touch with you, as I could really use some insight and perspective. If you get a chance please tell me if this is possible. Thanks so much for your website.
