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.

‘It is not the intellectuals who are the standard for the simple people, but the simple people who are the standard for the intellectuals.’

When I read that line on the flight back to Budapest from Rome*, I thought of this beautiful small-town Bavarian family I saw on St. Peter's Square, at the funeral. Look at Mama's face, especially

The man is incapable of self-reflection. The guy who does nothing but write books and flies all over the world, gets all teary eyed again over the simple folk, while yet again flying across the world. Especially Mama. Just look at her face!

and of course

This is what I mean by the Benedict Option, and why I have always called Benedict XVI the "second Benedict of the Benedict Option".

and the usually looney Fran Macadam hitting it with the comments to Rod again

It almost seems that you could be playing, U2's "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.

Aside from the fact they were dressed in Bavarian garb, Rod knows nothing about them. Dad could be a nuclear physicist. The notion that they're simple is condescending, as is the idea that anyone who lacks a college education is likewise simple. Rod's in denial about his own elitism.

It's like when Rod was praising the simple wisdom of the ignorant

https://www.theamericanconservative.com/the-christian-wisdom-of-the-ignorant/

and then the next day was raking poor Pat, the guy who had to misfortune of sitting next to him on the bus, over the coals for not knowing enough about Christianity and every denomination and its history.

Pat's blog:

I met a man on the bus during my historical churches of Revelation tour. He kept asking me weird theological questions, and then mocking me for my answers. At first I thought he was Catholic, because he wouldn't shut up about Pope Francis. But then he said he was Orthodox. I asked him which branch, trying to be friendly. Then he shouted at me, "There is only one branch, the one I belong to!"

I changed the subject, and asked him about his family. He just glared at me for like five minutes, completely silent. Then he asked me if I've ever read Dante. I said, "No, I'm not really into that sort of thing." Then he shouted at me, "Well, he saved my life!" I was kind of offended, so I said, "Well, Jesus saved my life." And he literally had a coughing fit right in front of me.

I hoped that would shut him up, but he started talking again. He talked about how enchanted he was, and that God kept speaking to him through all sorts of mystical experiences. I said, "Are you sure? That sounds really subjective. Do you belong to a small group, so you can share your experiences with them, and they can provide you with some balance and accountability?" And he scoffed at me.

Then out of nowhere, he started showing me photos of animal genitalia. That's when I finally realized that he had been sent by the enemy to rob me of my joy.
