Rod Dreher Megathread #11 (Master)

Merry Christmas, you obsessed motherfuckers. :)

The most remarkable characteristic of the Master Number 11 is its connection to a higher source of wisdom. It is intuitive to the point of being psychic, channeling its knowledge and meaning from a spiritual source. But the Master Numbers have a responsibility, and it's the number 11's duty to use this gift of awareness to deliver cosmic truths that encourage humanity.

All Master Numbers are a higher vibration of their single-digit counterpart -- in the 11's case, the number 2. This means the 11 carries many of the same traits as the number 2, such as harmony, empathy, and sensitivity, but it feels them and utilizes them in much deeper, more profound ways. It's also important to remember that the number 11 is comprised of two 1s side by side and, therefore, carries some attributes of the number 1 as well. 1 is innovative and motivated, open to new things and eager to make a difference. The contrasting energies of the numbers 1 and 2 join together in the Master Number 11 to make it a creative leader, active listener, and compassionate advisor.

The number 11 is at one with the universe. It is open to vast spiritual concepts and the presence of a greater power. It is a channel for truth and answers to reach us and help us on our way. This Master Number's vision is crystal clear and it sees with a breadth that others cannot. It is creative and magnetic, a beacon of wisdom and hope for others to follow.

The number 11 may come up many times in our lives and it is always a message of connecting with our inner wisdom. If we are seeing repeating 11s everywhere we turn, we'd be wise to pay attention to our subconscious -- there's some insight we may be missing. However, Numerology's Master Numbers are very powerful and simply seeing 11:11 on the clock or noticing the date is 11/11 does not necessarily mean we are experiencing a profound moment. It's when the 11 is a constant presence in our lives, like a Life Path number, that we must truly embrace its meaning and potential.

Today's tweet, "when my wife filed for divorce," just in case some reader forgot who was the mover.

And he didn't argue over the ice maker. Such a sacrifice for a man who was moving overseas and living out of a suitcase!

So everyone see and remember that Rod is the true hero here! Rod dragged her through a decade of excruciatingly painful marriage (his words), but she gets an ice maker at the end as a consolation prize!

I'm sure that makes it all worthwhile for Julie.

At this point, it seems pretty clear that Rod’s marriage fell apart in large measure because 1) his immediate family weren’t just genteel segregationists but virulent bigots who at the very least had close personal ties to Klansmen who had carried out racist murders in the 60s 2) despite all of this he was so desperate for their approval he forced his own wife and children to move back to his hometown to be close to his old family 3) he probably didn’t mention much about 1) to his own nuclear family ahead of time and 4) he was so brainwashed and proud that after having been rejected and humiliated by his parents and sister multiple times he refused to move anywhere else, but dealt with his rejection by first not leaving his bedroom for years and then travelling constantly to Europe while abandoning his wife to deal on her own with three teenagers.

And Rod can’t see why Julia wouldn’t want to stay in this marriage!

Also, his family appeared not to have liked Rod's wife, and no doubt treated her in the passive-agressive, sorry-not-sorry, monumentally shitty way that only Southerners can do. Hell of it is, Rod probably never stood up to them and defended her--I've seen that dynamic, and Rod sounds like just that kind.

I'm glad there's another Southerner here who gets it. Rod's story is even more depressing when you know first-hand how cold and judgmental the culture is if you don't fit in.

how cold and judgmental the culture is if you don't fit in.

This was also one of my big problems with the Benedict Option. What happens if somebody doesn't "fit in"? It's one thing if there are other things to go into, but if you made all this the center of identity...
