What's with all the elevens?

About 11past.com

For a number of years I've noticed that more often than not, when I
randomly look at my watch, phone or other clocks, it's eleven minutes
past the hour. For example, 5:11, 8:11, 9:11, etc.

I started noticing this back in 2002. It subsided after a few months
and then about three years ago it started up again with greater
frequency. It happens many time a week, now. Sometimes, several times
in a single day.

This isn't limited to my waking hours.  It even happens when I'm
asleep! I will usually glance at my alarm clock at least once during
the night, and it's uncanny how often I see eleven past.

Just to be clear, I'm not talking about lying awake, watching my clock
waiting for elevens. I mean I'm sound asleep, and I suddenly wake up
at eleven minutes past the hour. Many times it has happened when I
have only woken up once, and only once in the night.

One night, I woke up three times, and each time it was eleven past!

I started telling my friends about this and mostly they laughed at me.
I guess they think I have nothing better to do, than to make this up.
So, I started taking screen shots on my iPhone whenever I turned my
phone on at eleven past, and photos whenever I saw eleven past on
other clocks. In the last year I have captured hundreds of images.
This site, is a gallery of some of those images, beginning with eleven
recently captured sightings.

I should mention that my wife sees elevens with similar frequency.
Maybe that's some sort of sympathetic synchronicity. I don't know. I
do know that several friends have confided to me that they are experiencing
the same thing!

Doing a little Googling I realized there are many others out there,
seeing elevens.

Paranormal theories abound, I suppose; but, the way I see it, only the
God of the universe could synchronize our internal clocks with such
accuracy to cause me and so many others to check the time-of-day at
exactly the same moment, eleven minutes past the hour.

I don't know what all this means, but given the frequency that I am
seeing eleven past, and the fact that no other time of day seems to register with
me, it seems like something is going on and I can't help feeling it's
significant.

So, I created this blog and the 11past.com domain to document
what I am experiencing. Going forward, I will post my eleven past
images here.

Disclaimer: I was born on 8/11 and the number eleven has always been
significant to me; but that doesn't explain the eleven past
phenomenon.

Let me know if you if you are seeing elevens, too, and any theories
you may have.

Who knows, maybe we'll all celebrate somehow on 11/11/11.  ;-)
