I keep noticing that I see 11:11, 22:22, and 13:13 on my iPhone's clock, sometimes several times a week. Is this just coincidence or does it have to do with numerology? Some friends say they're "signs" but I'm not sure I really believe it.
I think it's just coincidence, honestly. Like, you're always looking at your phone and our brain naturally picks up on patterns. Numerology doesn't have any scientific basis, but if it makes you feel good to believe it's a "positive sign" to keep your head in the right place, there's no harm in thinking that way :)
Don't fall into the trap of thinking it's "something special" happening only to you. This phenomenon has a name: confirmation bias and apophenia, which is when our brain finds patterns where there's nothing significant. You see 11:11 because you look at your phone dozens of times a day, and when you happen to catch a time with matching numbers, it sticks in your memory; all the other times you looked and the numbers were random you forgot about. Numerology is completely devoid of any scientific mechanism - numbers don't have energy or hidden messages, they're just symbols we created.
