Life Path Master 11

(and master numbers anywhere in the numerology chart)

The following started out as a message to a friend whose Life Path is also Master 11, and after about the 6th paragraph, I realized I was writing an article, not just a message!

In all of the posts and videos I’ve made about numerology, I’ve never put any focus on the master numbers (11, 22, and 33) being “Master” numbers because I thought it sounded egotistical. In the weeks and months leading up to writing this message, however, I realized that being a master is an enormously significant part of the experience. It feels invalidating for me to continuing ignoring this aspect of my Life Path, and the night I wrote the following, the need to verbalize it was really weighing on me.

Here it is!!!

The Message

I’ve been thinking a lot about the concept of “master” 11 lately. Our soul’s evolution was done, and we didn’t need to come back. We were ascended masters. And then we chose to come back again, not for our own soul’s evolution, but to serve the world. 😳🤯 We were literally born to be healers.

We’re not here to figure out how to meet our own needs, but we struggle *a lot* with doing so anyways (especially material needs) because this plane is very, very dense, and it’s unnatural for us to exist here in physical form. 

We’re VERY sensitive because we’re here to be channels both of higher energies and messages from the other side of the veil (well, veils), and that also makes life challenging because society is NOT geared for such sensitivity at all! The number 11 is a portal, a doorway, so having an 11 Life Path is very much about mediumship and bringing messages and energies from other dimensions into the realm of human experience. 

We can also feel currents of energies, and energy precedes manifestation, so we can feel what’s coming and sometimes divert or transform the currents before they actually manifest (whether we want to or not), and we need our sensitivity for that as well!

People talk about how 11s need partnership, but I don’t think saying, “It’s because they’re also 2s!” actually begins to cover it. 11s need partnership because they need an anchor, a tether to this world. A good partnership makes it SO much easier to be here! If it’s a relatively healthy, mature relationship, it brings a lot of pleasure and enjoyment to life, and partners can cooperate as a team in life in ways that enrich and support both people’s experience tremendously. 

Relationships are extra challenging for 11s though because people on Earth really do treat each other very harshly and wound each other a great deal. It feels so unnatural and nonsensical to us, yet we sometimes end up picking up patterns from those who abuse or take advantage of us because we need a shield of some sort in order to survive. Everyone does this, but it’s even more painful for 11s because we’re so incredibly sensitive. It also feels very wrong and unnatural to us (no matter how caught up in it we may initially be) because we have already learned those lessons in past lives. 

Living that way again feels rather intolerable, and that feeling spurs us to heal and drop our “shields” (defense mechanisms) as we mature. We then discover that the only way to exist in connection with most humans is through having compatible defense mechanisms, and most people won’t even be *attracted* to you (much less know how to *be with* you) unless you’re willing to hurt them in some of the same ways their parents did. People just don’t know how to (perhaps can’t!) exist in the same space as you if your energy is too much “higher frequency” than theirs, so it’s really difficult to find partners, especially if you’re specifically looking for partners for whom you don’t have to “lower your vibe”. This is true for all spiritually mature people, but the master numbers 11, 22, and 33  have it the hardest in this regard. It makes all types of social relationships (such as friendship) difficult, in fact. 

11s are unusually empathetic, and they need this in order to be healers. Empathy, however, is in itself extremely painful.

There’s also a sense of loneliness and exhaustion with this life path because it’s hard enough just to exist in physical form, and then on top of that, there can be a sense of feeling it necessary to nurture or heal others because we *can*. Being more spiritually mature doesn’t make anyone any better than others. That would be like saying the fourth grader is better than a 2-year-old because he knows how to tie his shoes. It makes no sense at all. Neither is better. They’re simply at different points in their development. However, when you’re “older” than others, it creates a sense of responsibility for offering care when they need it. It’s like if you’re in a park and see a child who’s there alone and needs help with something. You don’t just ignore them. You do what you can. 11s learn to allow people their suffering and not take responsibility for the well-being of others at some point, but they may experience “caregiver burnout” quite a lot before getting to that point.

To top it off, difficulties really thriving on a material level can also make finding partners challenging for many 11s because most people pay more attention to the material world than anything else, so despite working so hard to prosper, having sooooo much to offer, and giving so much of ourselves to others (often in ways they don’t even understand), a lot of people only see us for our struggles. (Our struggles also include finding ways to try to cope with or at least numb our extraordinary level of sensitivity.)

It also makes it very, very hard to find healers (therapists, spiritual teachers, diviners, astrologers, shamans, and even energy workers to some extent) because we’re more advanced than they are to start, and our issues are things they don’t know how to touch, have never experienced, and can’t say or do much to offer assistance or healing. We have to learn to be all of these things for ourselves because we desperately NEED them (unless we’re lucky enough to find someone even more advanced than we are) and are here to be healers ourselves. We often end up being healers for healers because of the level of skill we end up developing.

I’m sure most if not all of this sounds like I’m tooting our own horn, but the reality is that this is an extremely difficult way to exist, and we’re here to humbly serve, not be important ourselves. This isn’t about “being the best”. It’s about love.
