Intuition, Idealism, Invention. This is the meaning of the master numer 11. They say that when you notice the time 11:11 on your clock, there will soon come an experience that will raise your awareness. 11 is the number of disciples that remained true to Christ. When you are figuring out your birthpath number, you add the numbers of your birthday-(ex:12+31+1964=2007=9) If it adds up to a two digit number, you add those two numbers to get a one digit number-UNLESS it is an 11 or 22. These are called Master Numbers.
Last week when Eddie died, there were an amazing amount of 11's around. His birthdate-2/11, his expiration date 10/11 and all of the aforementioned 11's that corresponded (see 10/13 blog entry) One random factoid from the radio was that it was "11 weeks until Christmas" (you just never know where your divine inspiration will come from next!). I knew that I needed to find out what 11 meant.
According to the Qabalah, the 11th path is "facing the creator." It is pretty obvious that Eddie is doing just that. I suppose that we should all be ready at any time to do so as well. Not to be morbid, but you just never know. I know that many belief systems encourage you to live each day as if it were your last. There is a Native American morning tobacco prayer that ends with "Today is a good day to die."
I am having a hard time with this, because I know that if today were my last day, I would not have spent it the way I'd have liked (didn't make any artwork, missed my son's hockey practice, frozen pizza for dinner-ouch!). Tomorrow I am spending my 10th day in a row at the Arroz con Pollo Plaza. I keep going back, waiting for some form of stability that continues to be elusive. When will I ever learn? Guess we'll see.
