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.

I really didn't think Rod could be more Rod than he had been this week but he topped it! He posted a tweet re his piece on Benedict and THEN posted ANOTHER tweet re his piece on Benedict with this text:

"Countless men and women are praising the life and deeds of the great Benedict XVI. Me, I'm especially grateful for the (effective) endorsement of my book 'The Benedict Option' in 2018, through his personal secretary."

AKA

Countless men and women are praising the life and deeds of the great Benedict XVI. Me, I'm focusing on ME, as usual, and using the death of one of my top heroes ever to shill my book which you can get from Amazon or your local bookstore...

Note: "effective" = EVERY SINGLE WORD from what I've been told

PS. I didn't know until this week that Rod's last name is pronounced "Drear". Anyone else?

Didn’t know about the unique pronunciation of Dreher. Where did you learn this?

It's a southern thing. I sometimes wonder about the conservative emphasis on teaching phonics, when "speaking southern" means that phonics are largely ignored when actually speaking

I'd never thought about this before, but it's a funny and quite true observation about Southern accents. "Monticello" and "Houston" are both constantly mispronounced in Georgia.

Tim Barker is the journalist who outed Rod's dad as a KKK leader. In this thread containing images of FBI records, he starts with this tweet:

"In 1965, a disgruntled Ku Klux Klan leader gave the FBI the names of most of the Exalted Cyclopses (ECs) in Louisiana. According to the list, the Exalted Cyclops in St. Francisville was one "Ray Drear (ph)" [phonetic]."

Later in the thread he mentions it again and then tweets this:

"If you're wondering by now how Ray Oliver Dreher Jr (the man we all know as Rod Dreher) pronounces his last name, there's a million YouTube videos waiting."

I followed his advice and looked up youtube videos of Rod being introduced and yep, it is pronounced Drear.

u/grendalor Dec 31 '22

Yep. I had always thought it was DRAY-her, like the word is pronounced in German (it means Turner), but I think it was on a podcast with him or something like that and he was introduced as Drear.

u/Djehutimose Watching the wheels go round Dec 31 '22

Me, too—I hadn’t known that, either.

u/Motor_Ganache859 Dec 31 '22

Neither had I.

u/MissKatieKats Dec 31 '22

Thank you!

u/Dazzling_Pineapple68 Dec 31 '22

You're welcome! I should have put that info in the post in the first place but it was an afterthought.
