11:11 revisited

Some people take the 11:11 phenomenon VERY seriously:

While I don't place much stock in such metaphysical mumbo jumbo, I was happy to know that the numbers supposedly represent enlightenment, and invariably are interpreted to reflect something very positive.

Of particular interest to me is the "bridge between duality and oneness." Notions of a greater reality - of a discrepancy between what appears to be and what actually IS - are nothing new. I just never thought of achieving transendence through 11:11. It's admittedly pretty hokey...but also kind of fascinating. If nothing else, such ideas reflect human beings' intrinsic need to extract meaning from coincidence, to explain the unxplainable. It remains to be seen whether or not reality actually consists of two disparate parts. There may or may not be more to existence than meets the eye, but that's beside the point. It's just interesting that people consistently gravitate towards such lofty concepts. Are we driven by perpetual dissatisfaction or innate curiosity? Food for thought...especially for overly active brains.

We're all shadows...just ask Plato.
