Nov. 11, 2011 is an exciting time both numerologically and spiritually. There are many prophecies out there related to 2011 and 2012, and most point to a pivotal moment in our evolutionary path. We will describe how 11:11 is a time of completion, when duality exits our planet. Each person can choose to live differently through embodying love, trueness, integrity, courage and cooperation.

"11:11" is the bridge between duality and oneness. It is a wakeup call for each of us to release the old, embrace the new, and live real and true lives. Many people are drawn to see 11:11 when it appears on digital clocks and in other serendipitous environments, feeling a triggering within and knowing that it means something important. Even children when seeing 11:11 frequently know to "make a wish."

The 11:11 emphasizes love and the one being we all form together. We are not separate from each other, but rather each of us are cells in the body of a larger being, petals of a vast flower, and pieces of a beautiful puzzle. Events related to 11:11 involve our unified presence, where we come together and align as one.

The glamour of duality has been a controlling power on this planet for eons, but it is rapidly losing influence. Duality is an emphasis upon polarity, where people split reality into two or more pieces, choosing one side and disliking the other. Polarities involve halves such as me/you, male/female, day/night, yin/yang, democrat/republican, and even duality/oneness itself.

Oneness is a level of love, respect, and compassion that encompasses and moves to an expanded level beyond polarities. Oneness isn't just compromise, and doesn't mean one can't have opinions, but it does mean one is able to see where others are coming from, and look larger to the evolutionary purpose of our world.

In numerology, double numbers such as 11, 22, and 33 are master numbers, and have energies of a higher octave beyond those of the standard digits. For example, the number 11 is about anchoring the new, while 22 is building upon the new. 11:11 is a double instance of a master number, and anchors in the new energies coming to the planet in these significant times.

The energies of 11:11 are being embodied on our planet through a set of planetary activations called the doorway of the 11:11. We are near the conclusion of a 20-year journey through this doorway. The 11:11 doorway was originally opened on Jan. 11, 1992. There are 11 unique gates within this doorway. Each gate has its own keynote, and a master cylinder held at a sacred location somewhere in the world. In addition to the master cylinder, people hold anchor groups around the globe. Most recently, the 10th gate was activated on Sept. 11, 2011. Its keynote is "Living True Lives as True Ones," with the master cylinder held in Chiapas, Mexico. There is only one 11:11 gate left, for the 11th and final gate.

The doorway of the 11:11 was originally visualized and facilitated by Solara, author of books including The Star-Borne and How to Live Large on a Small Planet. Solara doesn't like to be treated as a "leader" of the 11:11 movement, as it really is about and for everyone, but she has dedicated significant time over the years in serving to make the energies available widely.

Master cylinders and anchor groups involve unified movements and practices, sacred dances that are simple yet very deep, and spontaneous activities to anchor the new energies. Between the dates of gate activations, there are sometimes 11:11 workshops in various locations around the world to bring forth energies of oneness in our lives.

Nov. 11, 2011 (11/11/11) is a special date for the 11:11 doorway. It isn't one of the 11 standard gates, but it is just as significant, and will have its own worldwide anchor groups. For 11/11/11, the focus is on being silent watchers, with everybody around the world doing the practice at the same time spanning 11:11 a.m. GMT. Silent watchers embody vastness, reassurance, pure heart love, and trueness.
