As your guide, here is WILLOW SOUL's list of the spiritual meanings of 11:11 and the reasons why you keep seeing number pattern 11:11 in clear sight.

1st Meaning of 1111: Pay Attention to Your Thoughts as an Opportunity Portal is Opening Up For You

What does 11:11 mean? The meaning of 11:11 is that the Universe has sampled your thought sequence and whatever you were intensely thinking about will manifest in your physical reality. So, if you are feeling really good about the thoughts you are focused on, rest assured that the thoughts you are sending to the Universe will soon manifest in your life. However, if you are having a thought that triggers an unpleasant feeling, you understand that you can shift your thought to a more positive one in order to attract a positive experience into your reality.

In this event, 11:11 or 1:11 is a message from divine angel beings that you need to monitor your thoughts with greater attention, and make sure you are focusing on the things that you want, and not the things that you do not want. In essence, your thoughts are a form of energy, and when you think, you are manipulating energy to transform your imagination into physical reality. Hence, a thought is a willful act and it is powerful enough for creation.

And during this creative thought process, you discover that you are always looking at the clock at 11:11 because you are magnetically attracted to a new opportunity that your soul is ready to receive. So, when you keep seeing the time 11:11 or 1111 numeric sequence, it is a divine sign that an opportunity portal is opening up for you and allowing your thoughts to manifest, whether you want it or not. This is the significance of 11:11.

Overall, the meaning of 1111 is to pay attention to your thoughts. Most importantly, remember that you always have the Creator and your divine team of angels and spirit guides with you. So when you need their help to change unpleasant thoughts to more positive ones, all you have to do is ask. And in asking for help, you are learning how to receive.

Keep in mind, when you are open to receiving, you become a channel for all the blessings from the Universe to flow through you, and you start to notice the healing and growth opportunities that are all around you. In this way, the Universe is arranging people and experiences on your path to help you succeed, and ultimately, helping you "wake up" to who you truly are.

So when you see 11:11, be aware and open to all the blessings around you!

2nd Meaning of 1111: Everything is the Result of Your Thoughts and Feelings

The meaning of seeing 11:11 is that all the things that exist in your life are the result of your thoughts and feelings. Whether you think about the past, present, or future, you are using your energy to create a vibration within you that attracts things with the same vibration to you. In other words, when you spend time remembering the past, observing the present, or imagining the future, your specific thought activates a vibration that draws specific ideas, people, and experiences with matching vibrations to you. And in this way, when you see 1111 flash in front of you, the meaning is that you are attracting a certain financial, health, or relationship matter that you are mainly thinking about – to you.

By way of example, you can attract "financial lack" in your life even if you have affirmative thoughts about financial abundance because your thoughts of "wanting financial abundance" were born from feelings of financial lack in the first place. In this case, it's important to change the way you feel about your money situation so you can feel excitement about your finances rather than worry, because the "vibration of worry" can attract the lack of financial abundance.

For this reason, you understand that it is important to shift your feelings from a low vibration state of lack to a feeling that has a higher vibration, such as excitement. The key is to raise your vibration so there is an improvement in the way you feel. The more relief you feel, the more positive feelings you'll experience, and eventually, you'll reach a higher state of vibration so you can attract more positive experiences.

All in all, when you see 11:11, you understand that every thought you think is already an affirmation and you are simply "affirming" your truth. Because of this, it is essential to replace a negative thought with a more uplifting one. 

So, next time, when you focus your energy on what has gone right in your life, you can be certain to attract "right" to happen again.

3rd Meaning of 1111: A Deceased Loved One is Sending You a Message

What does number 11:11 mean spiritually? The meaning of 11:11 is to remember your deceased loved one, and the number code 11:11 is a way for a deceased loved one to connect with you.

Your deceased loved one may have attempted to contact you in other various ways, but one of the effective ways to capture your attention is with number sequences. So, when you are seeing 11:11 repetitively, your loved one from beyond is trying to give you a message. Although the meaning of 11:11 can relate to your deceased loved one's day of birth, time of death, or other significant anniversary or event, the important key is to be aware of the other synchronicities around you so you can recognize and understand the messages that are meant for you.

Whether your departed loved one was your parent, spouse, child, or other close family member or friend, they may simply want to let you know that they are okay. Other times, they may want to help you, to comfort you, or to let you know that they are with you. No matter how far you feel from your departed loved one, trust that you are being watched over, and most of all, trust that you are perfectly where you need to be at this present moment in time. And remember, when you see 11:11, you are in the presence of peace.

In addition to this, the death of a loved one can open the doorway to an awakening or arouse spiritual gifts within you. You are given a chance to transform and be reborn. In this sense, "waking up" becomes the last gift from your departed one. You begin to let go of old habits and beliefs to make room for a new life that is unfolding completely in front of you. By realizing this and taking the steps to become your True Self, you are honoring the life and memories of your deceased loved one.

So, when you see 11:11, it is a good reminder to stop and think of your departed one and treasure what your loved one meant to you. Cultivate the seeds they planted in you, and let their essence radiate from you. And above all, in the big scheme of the Universe, have faith knowing that you will be reunited with your loved one, once again.

4th Meaning of 1111: You Are on the Path of Awakening as You "Re-Member" Yourself

Whenever you are seeing 11:11 or 1111 number patterns, you are being called to awaken. Visually, 11:11 represents columns of gates; it is a direct channel that opens between your "human self" and your "soul self". Gateway 11:11 is the point of merging the physical and non-physical realities of the True You. When this happens, it is time to stop any ordinary activity you are doing and look at the big picture of your life.

With various cultures and religions on your planet, you realize that living among different groups of people is a blessing because it gives you the opportunity to get inspiration from seeing new ways of doing things or discovering needs you did not know existed. It is your connection to each other that reignites the fire in your soul and stimulates creative ideas to make significant changes for your world. For this reason, you understand that different talents allow you to help one another and appreciate one another in different ways. Most importantly, you realize that your differences help you learn how to understand, accept, and cooperate with each other. This key understanding helps you remember the importance of being connected in the same human family to progress and evolve as "one race." This is all part of the Universe's master plan. 

Taking it to a deeper level, you begin to realize that what you are perceiving as imperfect in any part of your life, is actually the Universal Creator seeing perfection on the Divine level. Imperfections are simply imperfections to you, but not to the Universal Source. Therefore, what you see as a disappointment in your life, the Creator sees as an opportunity for learning and soul growth.

On the soul level, your consciousness evolves and you start to see life with new eyes. Instead of making decisions with your head, you start making decisions with your heart. For this reason, you begin to see your truth. Trust that you are on your path to awakening; trust that everything is unfolding perfectly for you; and most of all, trust that all is well for you.

Furthermore, 11:11 is a coded molecular structure of “Re-Membering” and reactivating the inner master that resides within you, your True Self. Re-member is a term that emphasizes the idea of putting the pieces of yourself – your “members” together – into their rightful order. In a way, remembering who you really are.

In this sense, the meaning behind 11:11 is related to your biological ascension because it is the gateway towards ascension; you see clearer and you are moving to a higher energetic vibration. So, whenever you see 11:11, the cellular memory is reactivated within you, and you have this sense that you remember something you have long forgotten.

Hence, when you are in the presence of 11:11, this number pattern is awakening your memory. You are remembering your true Divine nature. You remember that you were created with the spiritual DNA of the Divine Creator, and your unique design originated during the process of your spiritual creation before physical birth. Thus, when you look at the master plan, you remember that you are an individual piece of the Universal Creator, and collectively, we are the whole Universe.

5th Meaning of 1111: Set an Intention (Make a Wish!) and Take Action

What is 11:11 trying to tell you? Seeing 11:11 is a wake-up call of divine intervention. It is a message from the Divine Creator and your team of angels and spirit guides to visualize the big picture of your life and take the steps to form the foundation to build what you see in your mind's eye.

It is time to make a thoughtful wish and realize your intention can manifest for your highest good and for all mankind. Remember, it is the intention of the thought itself that counts.

So, when you see 11:11, you understand that you need to take the first step toward your inspired idea or thought. In this regard, the meaning of 11:11 is that you are being called for ACTION to transform your thought into your physical reality.

What were you thinking at the moment when you saw 11:11? Follow your soul intuition. You are awakening to your True Self as you are being divinely guided to your purpose.

11:11 is a wake-up call.  Follow your soul's passion and you will find your purpose.

Conclusion: What Should You Do When You Keep Seeing 11:11?

The overall meaning of 1111 is that you can start manifesting your True Self –  your soul's desires. What do you want to manifest in your life experience or reality? This is the first question you need to ask yourself when you are seeing 11:11. Whatever that is, it will be the direct manifestation of your thought patterns. And remember, your thoughts will create a vibration that will attract things with equal vibration. In other words, your thoughts carry energy that can manifest into your reality.

For this reason, when you keep seeing 1111, it is a spiritual message to remind you that you are the creator of your own reality and you need to take responsibility for it. Your current situation is the result of your past thoughts and actions. By taking a proactive approach, you can become aware of what you think, what you say, and what you do in order to completely take charge of your life.

Becoming responsible is realizing that you are the culmination of all the choices you have made throughout your life. You are the way you are as a result of your experiences. Furthermore, you start to see things as they truly are, and not as you wish they could be. For example, when you observe things as they are with no personal attachment, you can respond calmly rather than react emotionally.

Remember, your life is the result of all your choices, and once you understand that you've always had the power to create your reality, you can then become the conscious creator of all your experiences going forward. And most of all, it will be an empowering journey to be more aware than ever about the decisions you are making for your life's vision. With your focused awareness on your mission, you realize that you are not going to wait for the perfect moment to come to you. Instead, your soul is urging you to take the lead and create the perfect moment for you.

Keep in mind that the Universe doesn’t judge your decisions, it just makes them happen. It’s your decision to choose what you want to manifest in this life experience.

The message behind 11:11 is that you are to take responsibility and create consciously. You are the creator – the writer, producer, director, and actor in your own story. Because you're playing the lead character in your own life, you can direct your life in a positive way and choose to be powerful instead of powerless in your existence. You remember that this is just a story, and you can change the script any time, and you can also change your character at any time. Most of all, you begin to realize that the character you choose to play is not "truly" who you are.

Who you truly are is a spiritual being having a human experience in your own life story.

    I have been a caregiver for over 1/3 of my life. I am 73, and I am a caregiver for both my spouse and his 97-year-old mom for the last 2 years. My husband had a heart attack, and I had major surgery in the last year. I am seeing more and more often 11:11 and or 1:11, and in the last week, I have seen these numbers at least 3 times a day.

    Today, I was so totally stressed out and approaching burn out, and then I saw the number sequence 5 times! I have never had the same number sequence appear 5 times in one day.

    It gave me the confirmation that nothing is static, and I am where I need to be. I have my guardian angels and guides and my mom on the other side watching over me. It is also a confirmation that I need to take care of myself and follow my own dreams, too.

    So between the clock, the TV, the cell phone, the laptop, and my grocery store receipt total, I am getting the message. Thank you for the most wonderful explanation of the numbers 11:11.

    I’ve been going through a very difficult time in my life right now. Just one night after when all of this started happening to me, I had a very vivid dream of my grandpa who passed away 13 years ago.

    I grew up without a father, so my grandpa and I were very close. I even lived with my grandparents for the younger part of my childhood. I haven’t dreamed about my grandpa for a very long time. When I had my dream about him, it was as if he needed to let me know that he’s watching over me and to let me know that I’m not alone.

    My personal trauma has been going on for over a week. I’ve been trying to deal with this pain I’m going through but I have let horrible thoughts come to my mind. In my dream, my grandpa held me and patted my head like he always did, and said, “It’s going to be okay, mi hijita.”

    I just remember hugging him and crying. He was wearing his favorite clothes, and it was as if I could even smell him.

    Well, today was my first day back to school and work, and I was unable to function because my problems have taken over my will to do anything. As my feelings have grown stronger, almost to a sickening feeling, I looked down at my car’s mileage and it was 1111. I took a picture of it without hesitating.

    I didn’t realize the different meanings behind it. I’d like to believe that it’s another way of my grandpa reaching out to me and grabbing my attention. And, my God letting me know that I’m worth so much more.

    My dad had passed away on 11/11/19. He and I were always very close, whereas my mother and I were never close, and I always felt a sense of hate from her. My son and I have moved back at home with my parents for over a year since I left a 7-year relationship that was full of abuse, mental manipulation, and every other unkind thing, but that’s another story in itself.

    Sorry, back to what I wanted to say. My father passed away on 11/11/19, and it was unexpected and shouldn’t have ever happened but it did. I have been on a downward spiral since and have been really lost with no source of comfort.

    Last night, I had a weird dream. I had my son on one side of me and bad things on the other, and this scene stopped abruptly in the middle of my dream. Immediately next, I saw my dad sitting on our couch. I remember being full of joy and happiness, but then I felt sad when it came to mind he died.

    I was about to tell him about his death, and he said, “Shhh, shhh — don’t.” Like in a way, he didn’t want to know, and all he wanted was to be in the moment with me.

    I went to hug and squeeze him so tight and he did back. I remember being so happy, and for some reason, I said to him, “How is this even possible? You have passed away.”

    He said, “I know. It’s okay.” And that’s all I can remember, but I feel like I was with him for a long while. It felt so real. When I woke up, I cried and cried, and I am still crying because I wanted it to be real.

    When I got up and walked out to the couch (the same couch in my dream), I saw clothes piled on one side of the couch and one white sock laying on the opposite side. It was my dad’s white sock!

    Then, I looked over at the table where my mom stacked thank you cards perfectly, and I noticed one other card that was oddly placed on the other side of the table. When I looked closer, it was a father’s day card that I had given to my dad a couple of years ago.

    When I walked back to my room, I looked at my phone, and my battery displayed 11% and the time was 11:11 pm. I live near Philadelphia and it’s Eastern time. So, I saw 11% at 11:11 pm.

    After the fact of feeling and dreaming of my dad (but honestly, it didn’t feel like a dream), I felt like he was really with me. I don’t know if I saw my dad because I want him to be with me since I’m hurting without him. Or, did he visit me to tell me it’s okay, and I need to get back on track and find myself again (because I feel so lost and alone since he passed away). Anyway, I just wanted to share my story. Thank you!

    Hi, everyone! I just wanted to say my brother just passed. I have been seeing all kinds of number sequences and this is what 1111 led me to: my brother letting me know he is ok, and his energy is always with me — even now through his transition. Thank you for sharing this article. 💜

  • Betty on | Knoxville, Tennessee, United States

    I have been seeing 1111 for quite a while — on the clock, on my cell phone, in my car on my speedometer, on car tags as I travel, and when I lay down at night and awaken in the morning. I have been seeking my true purpose in life.

    I spent 4 years in a BSN program in college, but during my last 3 quarters of graduating, I came upon some instructors who blocked my way, and I was terminated by the school.

    The truth is, all my life, I was born with a gift to heal, the ability to feel vibes from others, and a gift to sing. I put my singing on hold to become a nurse only to be blocked by instructors I trusted. I feel I am being guided by some kind of spiritual force to do something greater, but I can’t seem to focus on what I need to do!
