I have also been wrestling with feelings like this, it was actualy what brought me to come to this website about a year ago. (I'm a long time lurker and recently just registered this is also my first post so I guess this is a Hello as well to fellow ATS'rs!) A couple years ago I was overcome with a sense of epiphany of what reality is, and it honestly started with seeing 11's and 1111's everywhere, yes call me a kook, but I thought it was so strange because it happened seemingly way to often and in the most absurd of circumstances to where I felt like it meant something. Anyways at this same time I had been feeling some sort of tug that seemingly got stronger and stronger, this tug now is a daily affair nearly overwhelming feeling of "wanting to know" or "being overwhelmed with a sense of wonder" Its so hard to describe but it feels like I am supposed to quest to find what I need to know and I dont know what it is, and the inner most consciousness is telling me this is not all that is and will be....I know I sound vague but it is truly hard to put into words.... it used to frustrate me but I am completely engrossed in the mystery of life and the nature of human perspective on reality.
Anywho, what I'm getting to is, I feel ya brother... embrace the mystery! We are not supposed to know I believe, its like its this huge secret we are not meant to realize until we die, I truly believe that. And I dont cater to any religion at all this is what my instinct and experiences have led me to believe!edit on 22-5-2012 by Philosoulpher because: fragged sentence

You're not alone. 1111er here In the past 2 weeks, I have had several people here ask me or U2U me about the 1111 in my user name and it was funny because I hadn't seen it really in almost a year, not until I started being asked about it. I know people think it has to do with subconsciously seeking out number patterns, confirmation bias, etc., but it's like it's meant to be seen, like a little magic moment, what I call a nod from beyond, a pat on the shoulder. It makes sense to me somehow and after weeks and months of seeing it on store receipts, clocks, license plates, I started feeling crazy and sought out information on it. This was 5 years ago and many people have come to me about it in my personal life since. It's a phenomenon. Surprised they haven't made a movie out of it yet lol
Still, for the most part, 1111 has been replaced by 1234 and in the weirdest ways. For example, when I booked a vacation house this summer and was looking at it on a map, the exact address of the house by lat & long. started with the numbers 123 & 456 . It's all ascending numbers for me!
ETA: Ha, I even have 345 stars ;edit on 22-5-2012 by mountaingirl1111 because: (no reason given)

That is really what it is like, I -know- I am a 100% mentally stable person have no history of mental illness and I am educated and I am certainly no loon. I don't care if someone calls me nuts or says im subconciously doing it and searching for it. Well thats just beause I know what I say to be true, It has been so in my face... it -is not- something I look for it just happens. It is what started my search, I kept seeing it and seeing it and seeing it, daily...and there must be something to it because eventually I was driven to google 11111 and to my ASTONISHMENT there was apparently many people having the SAME experience, this was a powder keg for me and changed my life....I have ALWAYS been a deep deep thinker, analytical and skeptical (questioned why we had nerve endings when I was in kindergarten). Seeing the 1111's ignited my search for meaning, now regardless of what you all may think that is what happened to me and put me on the path to seek the truest of truths. I know there must be some purpose to it, its much much much than mere coincidence and the odds just make it truth to me.
It seems that for some unknown reason these numbers appear, they make themself present, and for some wild chance it make you search for meaning....but why?!edit on 22-5-2012 by Philosoulpher because: (no reason given)

Ive been feeling empty lately, I did some digging and it brought me to yahoo, this man was talking about exactly how I've been feeling, then this random person posts everything I've been feeling in a nutshell. It's grown more intense these past couple days. Am I losing it, or do you guys feel the same?This is what the mystery poster said:
Many people with your problem, you have found a new paradigm, you are one of the few that has found something wrong with life. You seek the reason for living. To understand how other people act out their emotions. Naturally you are void of emotion calm, you know that there is something weird with the world. You try and make everyone you come into contact with feel happy and so you act like how they act conforming to their personality. You care not what people think of you it does not even matter, you do not even care about this world you do not wish to commit suicide but to get meaning from this world find answers. You have awakened, become aware. You find no joy in normal everyday life. Your consciousness has greatly increased. You wonder how they can just act the way they act (they are still asleep). Sometimes you are standing there and you look around at everything feeling dense and unusual like you shouldnt be here. You feel like you are in dream from which you must wake. And when you dream, you feel great, like you belong there, like as if you were resonating at a higher frequency, you wonder if you truly do belong in realms you go to when you sleep. Lately you have been feeling unusually tired, like being drained of energy. Nothing is at it seems brother and you will find out soon enough.
To the OP and those who can relate to him: one explanation for why you think and feel the way you do is because perhaps you're old souls. Check out these sites.
Old Soul 1
Old Soul 2
Old Soul 3
What people who go through the state the OP describes can do is avoid feelings of emptiness and negativity that cross the mind frequently and have a balanced mind, with a basic underlying foundation of positivity. Such people may feel out of place in society when the lures of materialism and petty human interactions no longer appeal to them, but they should remember that they don't have to conform to society's norms. The best they can do is cultivate their interests and believe they'll get their break and their due. Such can take an eternity especially if every day feels like a chore and attaining one's goal seems like trudging through life day by day, but just take it a day at a time and remember were only here once and the seemingly elusive and distant fulfillment of one's desires will eventually be in one's hands. We all have our own timetables and all what one has to do is fall in line and wait for your turn ( your break ) in this life.

This year I have notice more and more I am not able to get a good nights sleep. I literally cannot fall asleep. When I do I have to make myself fall asleep.
