Since 11:11 started airing on Rogers tv St. John’s, a lot of people have been asking me how I came up with the name and what 11:11 actually means. In the interest of full disclosure, I need to say here that naming the show 11:11 wasn’t even my idea – it was the brainchild of the show’s Producer/Director Perry Cooper.
We’d filmed the first episode one gorgeous summer afternoon with Canada’s Top Psychic Medium Michelle Russell and we were bouncing potential show titles off each other than evening via text message. Nothing seemed right. We knew that we wanted the show to be about spirituality and the supernatural but we also wanted viewers to know that interviews would be positive and uplifting. How to get that message out in a simple title?
We’d each vetoed a bunch of suggestions when I get this text from him.
“I’ve got it. I’ve got the show title.”
I immediately sensed that he was on to something. The energy of the message was exciting. And if you know Perry, just a smidge self-satisfied! He’s incredibly creative and when he’s on to something, he knows it.
I wrote back, “WHAT????” (Yes, this is how I text. I like Capslock and multiple exclamation points)
And then, in typical Perry fashion, I get back “Wait for it…..”
So I count to 10 and wait for the next text message ding.
This one reads. “Wait…….”
So very typical of Perry. He’s funny by nature anyway, so keeping me in suspense like this was undoubtedly filling him with glee.
And then finally, agonizing moments later, he sends it. “We’re calling it 11:11.”
I instantly forgave him because he was right, it was the perfect name for the show.
So what exactly does 11:11 signify?
Way back when I first started reading cards and reading up on psychic ability and spirituality, I began to notice that I was seeing 11:11 everywhere. It was a frequent enough occurrence that one day I decided to google it. And that’s when I discovered that 11:11 is a special spiritual phenomena.
I had previously read up a little on Numerology so I knew that the number 1 represents fresh starts, new beginnings, unity, oneness. The number 1 is particularly magical because it’s the generator of all other numbers and every number that exists is divisible by 1.
As a repetition of 1, the number 11 holds the primary force of the Universe, it is simultaneously independent and collective.
The number 11 also happens to be a Master Number. In Numerology, all numbers are special but there are three that hold the distinction of Master Numbers – 11, 22, and 33. These numbers have profoundly powerful meanings and are believed to possess more potential than other numbers. Master Number 11 is believed to be the most intuitive of all the numbers and is associated with faith and psychic abilities.
So what does it mean when the number sequence 11:11 is spotted regularly. That depends on who you ask.
Some people believe that seeing 11:11 means that your angels, spirit guides, or loved ones who have passed on are nearby and are watching over you
Other theories suggest that the sequence is an Activation Code, telling us that all systems are go! It’s to awaken us and remind us of our spiritual purpose.
It is also widely believe that whenever you see 11:11, you should make a wish. I never turn down any opportunity to make a wish!
Recent weeks have aligned me with people that I knew years ago. They have been congratulating me on the show’s success and reminding me, that when they knew me way back when, I had a particular wish that I’d shared with them, that we’d discussed at length. One of these people I hadn’t seen in a decade and she was a beautiful reminder to me of that time many years back when I was first starting out on this path, feeling my way through, trying to determine what I wanted to do with this newfound excitement about card reading and psychic abilities. I did have a specific wish back then, more than a decade ago.
I’d wished for a tv show.
