I have been having conversations with Paul (EBS) about it via email and he does offer some interesting insights.  

One thing I posted yesterday on CB was 21.12.2012.  2+1+1+2+2+1+2 = 11.  

Paul and I agree its a message from the subconscious seeping into reality.  He also spoke of the 11th gate that the founder of ECKANKAR talked about in his book "The Flute of God". But he does not have a copy of the book to find out what it said.  He also told me that he was told about a 10th gate down in South America. Don't know anymore details as Paul is flat out busy at present.

Paul said ECK says 11 is the twin pillars - Positive vs Negative, good vs evil.  But something that keeps coming into my mind is "As above, so below".  He also agrees with me about the mirror.

Paul's son is experiencing the 11:11 and so is someone else he talks to in ECK.
