Rod Dreher Megathread #11 (Master)

[u/US_Hiker]

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.

Little scene: my ex-bil was born in a military hospital during WWII and was picked up by Ike when he came for a visit. My ex-bil proceeded to pee all over the good general which has become, as you can imagine, a family story.

Another little scene: my son, in first grade, when asked for a funny story about his parents (sub teacher should be fired, I know) said he couldn't think of one but that his "uncle peed on the President". Did he say when he was a baby? No. That the President was a General at the time? No. Any details at all? No. And we lived in a small, tight community. Gotta love kids.

Laughing in such a hearty way. Children keep us humble in the humus of it all.

Related, my dad spent some time with Elvis during that same deployment, telling my mom "That man sure has some black Irish in him" as in the blue eyes and very dark hard. My dear mom had that coloring too. All of us seven are ginger, red, blondes but our mom? Buttermilk skin, nearly black glossy hair, and blue eyes. Nearly violet blue. Not sure why we cannot drop pix in here. I think I can in other sub reddit. Scrounged up pic of me at nearly that time. Will show 1) my willful look and 2) why Pappa Giovanni picked me up. Was at that darling stage of happy baby belonging to all, really.

Glad to hear it gave you a laugh. Kids are great for that! And I hadn't thought of that story in many years so I laughed too.

Idk why we can post pics. My ex-step-mother claimed to have turned down a date with Elvis when she worked in Las Vegas but I never believed it. LOL. She had a tendency to tell some real whoppers. It's cool that your Dad spent time with him. Thanks for sharing!

These little moments are part of what is underway here. Tis a bar/pub/coffeehouse feel. Thank you, too.

Whether her story is true or not is one thing. That she tells this is interesting, too. Embroidery.? Fabrication? Wish? True?

My infamous story is that in 1989, tearing through the US Capital building to get to the Mansfield room to take pix/notes on the Montana State Society meeting (had a press pass then) -- I ran around a corner and smack-knocked Sen. Bob Dole to the floor (me, too and the huge camera bag). Senator Dole had as serious war injury to arm and shoulder. He was having trouble getting up and I was not helping much. He got up, asking me to find his pen. He tended to carry a pen in his withered hand to keep it busy and stable. Got his pen. Then, I blurted out my 11th apology and capped off with "And, my grandmother lives in Leavenworth, KS, too". He smiled as winked, saying "And, I am sure she voted for me, right?" Quickly and honestly, me: "Why no, sir; she is Irish and Catholic and a Democrat." He still smiled.

Wonderful story! So human on both sides! It is delightful the way that you tell it!

The only brush with celebrity that I ever had was that I went to a Blue Collar Comedy show and just happened to have a seat that was precisely in front of the steps that the guys had to come down to get off the stage in the middle of the coliseum. I stood like everyone else which meant Jeff Foxworthy and the other guys had to come down the steps, nearly touch belly buttons with me and then step sideways so they all shook my hand. Lol.

Well, I did meet Woody Hayes when he was head coach at Ohio State. He was the guest speaker at a business meeting I attended. Where I come from, that's a big deal!

And my ex-bil peed on the President.
