According to some Numerologists:
"11:11 is a pre-encoded trigger placed into our cellular memory banks prior to our descent into matter which, when activated, signifies that our time of completion is near. This refers to the completion of duality. When the 11:11 appears to you, it is your wake-up call. A direct channel opens up between you and the Invisible. When this happens, it is time to reflect on whatever you are doing for a moment and Look Larger. A transfer is in position. You can enter the Greater Reality if you wish pray or meditate and seed your future and also, you can be seeded by the Invisible. You can ask for help in some specific area of your life or simply listen quietly and receive a revelation."
Whether you believe in Numerology or not, it seems a good time on this 1st day of the 1st month of 2011 to open your mind, "ask" for help in your personal and professional lives and reflect quietly on the answers. The revelation might just surprise you!
