Any ideology, religious or irreligious, that leads to the slaughter of innocents must be reformed or destroyed.

Two weeks ago my wife and I were out shopping for some decorations and supplies for our upcoming Halloween party. When the total amount of the purchase finally scrolled up on the electronic register display, I noted the coincidence that the digits read “111.11“.

Last week, I approached our microwave to heat water for lunch. The last cook cycle had been interrupted and showed several seconds remaning. I hit the clear button to reset the cook time and noted that the display had resorted to the current clock time, “11:11“.

Until a few days ago I didn’t think much about these two incidents until encountering a sentence in a book I am reading, titled “Apocolypse 2012“, written by Lawrence E. Joseph. It reads as follows:

“In other words, whatever energy typically streams to Earth from tne centerpoint of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12, at 11:11 P.M. Universal Time, for the first time in 26,000 years.”

After reading this and wondering about the coincidence of the seeing these repeated digits, I began joking to my family about the significance of the time digits and the approach of the date12/21/2012, significant as the end of the current age according to the Mayan calendar, and to be sensationalized as an end-of-world type disaster in the upcoming movie “2012″ by Roland Emmerich.

I am typically skeptical about concepts such as numerology, mysticism, and other ideas not grounded with scientific proof. A little searching on the web gave me a Wikipedia entry with links about “11:11“, though still not convincing to me. But now I am beginning to wonder if I shouldn’t take it more seriously.

Last night, while entertaining guests, my wife asked our son what time it was. He opened his cell phone at the precise time of “11:11“.

This morning I was cleaning up after the party. After lunch I retrieved my cell phone from it’s charger and noticed there was a missed call icon. Upon viewing the missed message I didn’t recognize the incoming number, but as you may surmize, the call was made at “11:11“.

OK, so it’s probably nothing but I’m going to keep track of the times I see “11:11” just in case!

Need I say more?

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. I am just playing with my blog layout and will end up deleting this anyway. Be prepared for thoughtless thoughts and unfeeling feelings being expressed.
