11-11-11: Your Call to Serve & Uplift
SELF-MASTERY THROUGH SERVICE
Since eleven
is a combination of two ones, and one is the number of the self, 11:11:11 is also calling us to achieve mastery of
self. One
of my favorite numerologists (Jeanne) once wrote, “True mastery comes from service to others.” I
really believe this and have found it to be true in my own life. When we focus on being of service and
sharing our gifts with others, it takes our minds off of petty differences and personal struggles and elevates us into a vibration
of gratitude and harmony. Most of us are at our best when we are lovingly serving & sharing our unique
gifts with another. Thus, I believe that this triple eleven day is
calling each of us to achieve mastery of self through service to others.
If you are still wondering about what your “purpose” in life is or how you can best serve, then I have a suggestion
for you….begin now to start each day by asking yourself one simple question. That question is:
“How can I best be of service today?” Get very quiet inside, call upon your Higher Power & your guides, ask
the question, and then listen and hear the answer. It might be a very “small” thing that you
are asked to do, or it might be a “large” thing….however it is that you are called to serve on a certain
day, know that there truly are no real “small” acts of service in the universe, for even tiny deeds of generosity
& courage can blossom into giant blooms of beauty and love. You never know what a difference just a
(so-called) small gesture of kindness or help can make.
RELATIONSHIPS & COMMUNITY
Eleven is also a number associated
with higher partnership, relationships & community, so pay attention
to what is happening in these areas of your life right now as well. With
all the intense energies that are coming at all of us right now from all directions, this really is NOT the best time
to try “going at it all alone”, whatever “it” is. Whatever it is you are trying to learn or accomplish, you will do it better, faster, and easier with
the support of the right like-minded people…whether that be a partner, loved-one, friend, teacher,
therapist, healer, doctor, or community. Even Jesus had his twelve disciples to help & support him. Therefore, it only makes sense
that you could also benefit from seeking out friendships and relationships that can support you in your time of transformation.
I especially recommend investing in being part of a community that will assist you in your higher growth.
If you find yourself feeling “overwhelmed”, “isolated”, or “alone” during this
period, it is probably time to open yourself up to supportive & nurturing relationships. On
the other hand, this does not mean that you should get involved with “just anyone” or “just any” community.
It has to be a good fit for you. Any community or relationship entered into at this time needs to
be spiritually-expansive & supportive, and not just something that you are getting involved in because it seems convenient
or expedient. Also, 11:11:11 does consist of many ones, and one is the number of independence
& inner strength. Therefore, it is not a time at all to give up your identity, or “lose yourself”
in a relationship or group involvement. In fact, some of you who are reading this right now might find that you are in a cycle where you feel very much alone
and can’t seem to find the support you need, even though you have tried reaching out to others. If
this is the case, and especially if you have had a tendency in the past to be overly-dependent on others, then
this may be a time for you to learn how to lean more on your own inner strength, rather than relying so much
on others to do things for you. Eleven calls us to have balance in ALL things, and especially in relationships.
If you are reading this right now, then probably one of your major issues at the moment is how to have balanced relationships
or how to be in “balanced community” with others. This means not spending too much
or too little time with others, and more importantly, allowing yourself to feel connected with others without becoming overwhelmed
by that connection. What this means
is that you may now be feeling the strong need for either more—or less—time & involvement with others.
For me personally, I
have been pulling back within myself, spending more time writing, meditating, dancing, and attuning with nature, and less
time checking my e-mail or phone messages so vigilantly. I haven’t totally isolated myself from relationships,
but I am temporarily pulling back within myself, and spending time with just a few close friends & clients, at least until
I feel the urge again to do otherwise. This is what I need to do to get balanced & centered within
myself right now. However, everyone experiences the 11:11:11 energy differently. Like me, you may need to temporarily hibernate or “unplug” for
a little while so you can be closer with yourself and perhaps just a small circle of intimate friends. Or,
your experience may be that you have been deep within yourself for awhile, and you now need to reach out to others in friendship
& communion. Also, you may experience different urges in regards to different kinds of relationships.
There may be a shift towards or away from either one-on-one relationships or group relationships. Each
person has a different experience of the 11:11:11 energy, and each of us must do different things to achieve balance in our
relationships. Ultimately, your intuition will show you what it is you need to do to best achieve your
optimal balance point.
