11:11 Money Exchange

I was telling my uncle Sergio (while I was in Mexico in 2005) about how I keep on seeing the number 11:11 and having lots of coincidences related to that number and my life.

My Uncle is a very open minded person who helped form who I now am, however I could tell he was listening but maintaining a degree of skepticism in what I told him. I can imagine that he thought of the typical reply which is..

‘You only notice the 11:11 because you’re looking for it, but how many times do you look at the clock or something else and it’s not 11:11 but a random number, probability dictates that you will see 11:11 often enough and this is not a coincidence but indeed predictable and probable”

So I left it at that as we drove on to the bank to exchange my American Dollars to Mexican Pesos.

We got to the bank and looked up at the exchange rate on the board;

1 American dollar : 11.11 Pesos.

It felt good to be validated.

11:11 Wakeup

I woke up at 11:11 today.

It’s a number I see a lot.

Coincidence Factor: 1.5/5 Stars

(According to a number of sites, new agers, and books, the number 11:11 is a cosmic wink.. I think it could somewhat do with being in tune with a cosmic code, or seeing the numbers as patterns of reality.. It’s hard to explain, but I don’t think it’s as simple as an ‘angel winking’ at you. It does seem to happen a lot however, even having been labelled a ‘coincidence phenomenom‘. Scientifically speaking, people are going to find patterns when they look for them, and they are bound to repeat given a large enough testing range (the whole world). HOWEVER, I have in fact had a number of interesting coincidences with this number, it is also interesting that it’s not another number sequence which is famous for its incidence factor)

I like to look at numbers and count 31113 as a number sequence.
