The number 11 and september 11, 2001
the "day of infamy"

by Angie Mansfield

The moment I heard the news, "Somebody just crashed an airplane into the World Trade Center!", I noticed the date: 9-11-2001. Being a numerologist I am almost compulsively looking at numbers and calculating words in my head. Car license plates tease me and I can never look at one of those stock market ticker tapes... Not that I fully understand what every number combination "means", but numbers just 'call' me and I can't help but try to hear their messages. For the last 5 years or so I have daily received email asking me about various number combinations and especially repeated "Master Number" occurrences. The most popular question is usually about repeated 11 or 11:11 on the digital clock. My answer up to now has been to give the general meaning of 11 - Found in my FAQ after having written the same answer over and over again - and that the repetition of any number is a 'wake up' call to pay attention to that number's meaning/message. Most repeated numbers are very subjective and have a special meaning to the person receiving them so it's difficult to fully answer the "why" for someone else. This is all true, however, after researching the numbers around this bewildering event, I have begun to wonder if those of us who are usually 'nudged' by all of those 11's everywhere we look, weren't actually psychically picking up some messages about the events that have obviously been brewing for some time now. The tragic events that took place on September 11, 2001 were born, detailed, communicated, scheduled and worked on, researched, sacrificed for and justified through faith, long before ever exploding onto the World stage, leaving emotional, physical and spiritual carnage for all of us to sort through in our own way. How we do that as a Human Race, a country and each of us individually, within our hearts, will determine how the next stage is set for us and for the world.

The number 11 figures so prominently in this event that I have compiled a partial list of over 74 items related to the tragedy that have Master Number 11 as a Core number and over 100 words in total that strongly feature the number 11 to show the 'theme' that "flavors" number 11 in all areas of life.

As in all manifestations of energy, all numbers consist of a positive to negative polarity with many points of variation in between. On the positive end of the spectrum are the traits that describe the highest possible manifestation of a thing and on the negative end of the spectrum are the traits that describe the lowest possible reaches. Another way of looking at it is that the positive end exhibits qualities of light, fast, pure, unadulterated, untainted, higher consciousness, transparent ‘essence’ of a vibration (number), while the negative end exhibits qualities of dense, heavy, muddied, congested, fear-ridden, lower consciousness, self-defensive, opaque 'false face' of vibration. Each consciousness falls somewhere in-between and if we are consciously on a spiritual path (all are on the spiritual path towards refining and purifying their vibrations but some just don’t realize or accept it yet..) our lives are about clearing out and purifying our vibrations so that we can be as close to our true essence and as pure an expression of Source Energy (God) as possible. Each of us has the potential (and job) to channel Heaven to Earth.

Master Numbers are highly charged and because of their faster vibration, they are often seen in arenas that require great responsibility or finesse in an art form or a skill. As you can see in the table of items with the master Number 11, this number is found among terms relating to leadership, religion, politics and matters of high impact the world over.

In it's purest form, and at it's most esoteric, Master Number 11 stands for *healing the fallen nature*. Spiritual Healing is the natural remedy for the fallen nature of "mankind" and number 11 represents the kind of mental, emotional and physical state that it will take to raise consciousness to it's highest (Holy) level. In the tarot, Key 11 is called "Force" (11) or "Strength" which also means "Shakti" (23) in the tantric tradition. Healing the Fallen Nature also means subduing the animal nature by the strength of innocence, faith, purity, beauty, goodness, love and affection. On the tarot Key 11 is a depiction of a Woman opening and closing the jaws of an angry Lion (23) without effort. She is the symbol of Force Spiritualized - the magnetic and feminine forces of nature; the calm, tolerant, steadfast, patient, inner, psychic, refined nature of Female (the feminine aspect of both sexes) which is able to transform the aggressive, action oriented, forceful, competitive, critical, egocentric, "attacking", will-full currents of masculine polarity - by 'her' affectionate and absorbing nature. She is "the Beauty that tames the Beast".

If "Men are From Mars" and "Women are From Venus", then the Spiritualized Being is from Neptune - a higher octave of Venus signifying Spiritual Love or Unconditional Love. I am not writing a feminist article here, but it is important (dire) that humanity begins to consciously swim "with" the prevailing tide or else continue to be battered against the rocks. The tide has been ebbing (back) toward a more natural, feminine, maternal(23) manifestation of God-dess Love. The turn of the Millennium has shifted our Collective Consciousness from a masculine *1* ruled paradigm to a feminine *2* paradigm. That means that the Creatrix, the Mother (11 Soul Urge) aspect of Source is illuminating all of the areas that are fighting Her embrace. Light shines upon darkness and reveals the cause of the obstruction. Usually nobody likes to be "caught" doing what they do in the shadows... So, we can be assured that we will see the response to this new kind of Light(11) as time goes on.

The difference between *Man* and *Woman* is 11 (wo=5+6=11)

The difference between *Male* and *Female* is 11 (fe=6+5=11)

The difference between *God* and *Goddess* is 11 (dess=4+5+1+1=11)

The difference between *Man* and *Human* is 11 (hu=8+3=11)

What do you think that is telling us?

The Master Number 11 has a lower manifestation as well. The naturally psychic(11) 11/2 has an evolved ability to receive information in the form of mental images from others - thereby keeping abreast of the inner state, fears and wishes of those around them (which is an excellent gift to have in the case of a counselor or a teacher - a trusted authority). They also have the evolved ability to send information in the form of mental images to those around them and those who are looking to them for guidance. The positive AND negative 11 can impress deliberate thought-forms upon the minds of others, using imagination to convince others of a particular 'reality'. You can imagine what this kind of power can do in the hands of an unethical person... Corrupt or fanatical Leaders (political and religious) throughout history have profited from false prophesy, misguidance and misunderstanding (ADOLPH HITLER 65/11 Expression).

As I said earlier, the natural remedy is Spiritual Healing, as a planet, as a race, as a nation, as a family and as an individual. Spiritual Healing and right use of 11 is achieved not by suppressing or killing the animal nature, but by diverting it from animal expression into purely constructive channels that benefit others instead of just the self. As Dannion Brinkley says, "If God couldn't make it and sent You in His place, what would you do?". I have heard it said that "Life is Spiritual death". Spiritual Healing is merging the physical and the Spiritual into total-beingness, becoming a whole person and from this wholeness, acting in God's behalf. When this occurs (enlightenment), one realizes that there is no religion that can fully encompass what you have now become. This is Natural Spirituality, implicit religion. It's the state of Being where all humans can meet and agree and no dogma is worth killing or dying for.
