Hello Joebenz,
Many of us here understand your confusion and even frustration as you try to make sense of the 1111. I, on the other hand, found myself here because I wished to learn more about Midwayers...These are the beings you have been looking for, the ones prompting you. Now I don't know if this fits into your category of religious ramblings or new age stuff.
But it is what it is to each of us I suppose.
Perhaps it would help if I told you a little about how I found myself on this website for quite a few years now.
Long ago I began a journey of spiritual discovery. I suppose if you wanted to classify me at that time I was a Lutheran who sort of went along with what I had been taught from my parents even though questions often arose in my mind that the religion of "my ancestors" could not answer. So to my surprise, being well into middle age, I found myself searching for answers to those long ago questions. There was no doubt that I was being led via books from one point to another everything clicking into place as one answer led to another question prompting more searching...One day I discovered the Urantia Book which of course just gave me tons of new question material. But something else too... that big giant blue book held my thoughts and I just couldn't let it go... well I could.... not like I was being held hostage or anything.
but no...I wanted to know more... more about Midwayers. It was then that I read one sentence in a book talking about George Barnard who had a working relationship with these hard working and complex beings of our Earth, Midwayers. ( Nope they aren't aliens LOL so maybe that is a point in my favor.
) From this board I learned about 1111 and all the people who had come here sharing their own quest to find out what it meant. (Place was really hopping then) I was a tad upset because I had been searching for how I could be of service to God, the planet, friends and family for some time now and I was not being prompted like everyone else! I was wondering what the heck was wrong with me!
But then one night I watched a movie and in the special features at the end, all big and bold, was an actress's diary dated...July 11th. This jumped out at me because this was my birthday. And to be honest, I had already seen that number many times during the day..but this was certainly the most, "in your face" prompt. I pondered it for a bit and then as it was late began drifting off to sleep from where I sat on the couch...when all of a sudden I was awakened by a loud voice saying, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" I jumped up but I was alone... no one in the room with me. Finally I get up and went over to shut off my aquarium light. I paused as always to take a good look at my beautiful pair of large parrot fish expecting the wave of sadness as the female had suffered an infection in her egg laying apparatus for some months, leaving it swollen and red. I had tried ever aquatic medication I could think of (I worked at a pet store so knew a lot about such things.) But anyway, I was shocked and totally surprised that my parrot fish showed no sign of infection whatsoever. ( I must clarify that she was definitely ill that very day. ) And with that, I finally realized that I was being prompted in my own way. And in a way it was my birthday. The beginning of a fantastic journey that has never failed to move and awe me as I stumble my way through life.
And so it is with all of us.... We are all unique and while we can easily find thoughts, situations and happenings that seem the same as others. In the end we are walking a very special path all our own. This path is made up of all kinds of happenings that help us to learn and grow and even at middle age look for something that is seemingly missing or unanswered in your life. So with that long narrative in mind. I want you to understand that I could and probably will tell you what this 1111 means...but it will only be a baseline... a place to begin. You will discover if you ask openly the answers you seek just as I did in your own time but I suspect they won't come from me or any other human necessarily. What is written and spoken of on this web site is sort of like an open door. ... your own personal door and where you go and what resonates and charges your heart , revs you up or turns you away, is all part of your own amazing soul journey.
I will give you a few URLs to ponder that might help... Look at them if you so choose but I warn you you may find them a little "yadda yadda "too. LOL That's alright... I know it sounds strange but I must add that I am so glad I gave the Midwayers the benefit of the doubt in those early days as it has opened the door for realities on this mortal plane I didn't believe possible. It has lightened my human load a bit, and helped me to begin to fulfill my own little spirit-filled destiny. That door I walked through years ago has helped me to find a very subtle peace in a sometimes chaotic existence... a peace and "Guidance System" welling from within.
Okay I have rattled on enough and I still haven't given you any URLS. Remember all this is a starting point, one way or another. It is always up to you where you go from there...and it is all good.
