11Master number

Paul Nolan shows that a modest set of vowels can add to 11: A and U in Paul make 4, O and A in Nolan make 7, and 4 plus 7 stops at 11. This calculator keeps it, while Cheasley in 1916 would have gone on to 2.

Balliett wrote in 1917 that an 11 or 22 belonging to a name may represent the higher self rising to give help, a reading that fits a number found in the vowels. Taylor in 1926 says the person with 11 in the name carries stored wisdom in the subconscious mind. Coffman in 1927 is the skeptic: most people with an 11, he says, are really using it as 2.

Current popular numerology treats a Soul Urge of 11 as a strong pull toward meaning and inner knowing. Sepharial's 1911 list, with discord as its word for this figure, shows how little the older sources agreed.
