What is the Foundation Builder Number?

The 11 is the most intuitive of all numbers.

It represents illumination; a channel to the subconscious; insight without rational thought; and sensitivity, nervous energy, shyness, and impracticality.

It is a dreamer.

The Master number 11 has all the aspects of the 2, but is considerably enhanced and charged with charisma, leadership, and inspiration.

It is a number with inborn duality, which creates dynamism, inner conflict, and other catalysts with its mere presence.

A number that, when not focused on a goal beyond itself, can be turned inward to create fear and phobias.

The 11 walks the edge between greatness and self-destruction.

Its potential for growth, stability, and personal power lies in its acceptance of intuitive understanding and spiritual truths.

For the 11, peace is not found so much in logic, but in faith.

The 11 is the psychic’s number.

Song Lyrics 1

Every man has a place

In his heart, there’s a space

And the world can’t erase his fantasies

Take a ride in the sky

On our ship, fantasii

All your dreams will come true, right away

Analysis

There have been truths whispered throughout the ages and a major one has always been about the Heart.

The Heart is our gateway into the higher realms, into the Heavens, into the Light, into the Pleroma.

In this first verse, EWF explores the issues plaguing humanity as we seek to leave the Lower Worlds (Hell, Earth) and rise back to our Home (The Pleroma).

In an incredible metaphoric axiom, EWF characterizes our thoughts (fantasii) as a ship that takes us back home.

And they tell you right there – straight up in your face!

They say we get back home (via dreams and truth) and when your heart and dreams are set on truth, it happens right away.

Song Lyrics 2

And we will live together

Until the twelfth of never

Our voices will ring forever, as one

Analysis

When we return home (to the Pleroma), we will truly know what home feels like.

And the saying goes – home is where the heart is.

Get it now?

The 12th of never is another outstanding metaphoric axiom – they are describing something that doesn’t exist, but YET it does exist.

Get it now?

And in true fashion, they describe the Pleroma by SOUND and this EVENT resounds forever as ONE SOUND.

Haven’t you heard this before?

When you get to heaven, we will live as one.

When you reach Nirvana, you will be one with the Creator.

EWF spit this back in 1977 and encapsulated it above all spiritual beliefs and religions, now isn’t that a revelation?

Song Lyrics 3

Every thought is a dream

Rushing by in a stream

Bringing life to the kingdom of doing

Take a ride in the sky

On our ship, fantasii

All your dreams will come true miles away

Analysis

We’ve heard the inspirational speakers talk about how our thoughts make our reality.

Well, here it is, expressed beautifully in lyrical form.

EWF characterizes our thoughts as being “in a stream,” not to be poetic, but to be truthful.

  • POINT 1 – When artists are in the zone, they say they are “flowing.”
  • POINT 2 – Water is the closest image we have of the Pleroma.

Together, this verse captures the essence of humanity mastering our thoughts so we can achieve Gnosis.

When our hearts and dreams match and then we add our thoughts to match this frequency, you leave the old world of THEORY and TALKING and enter a new world.

The world of action.

The world of DOING.

And EWF characterizes this as a “KINGDOM.”

Then, they go back to characterizing our “dreams” as a Ship and they ensure that you understand the truth.

This is NOT EASY.

This takes work.

And that’s why they say TRUTH is “miles away.”

Song Lyrics 4

Our voices will ring together

Until the twelfth of never

We all, will live love forever, as one

Analysis

They are presenting the concept of HOME for humanity in the Pleroma and this time, rather than focusing on the PLACE, they are focusing on the PURPOSE.

Song Lyrics 5

Come to see victory

In a land called fantasy

Loving life, a new degree

Bring your mind to everlasting liberty

Analysis

Wow, talk about a powerhouse of lyrical density.

They are talking about two things simultaneously.

POINT 1 – The Spirit World is Reality

POINT 2 – The Material World is a Mirror

EWF is calling victory as a return home, but not to any land, to our homeland (as Spirit Beings).

They are calling this place FANTASY because, as Spirit Beings, the only way to travel in the Spirit World is by our “SHEER WILL,” which the public calls IMAGINATION and Magicians/Shamen/Witches call KNOWLEDGE/SIGHT.

Song Lyrics 6

As one, come to see victory

In a land called fantasy

Loving life for you and me

To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

Analysis

This is a vivid explanation of a Spirit (Shard of Light lost from the Pleroma) returning home (The Pleroma).

Song Lyrics 7

You will find other kind

That has been in search of you

Many lives has brought you to

Recognize, it’s your life now in review

Analysis

This is an in-depth explanation of our TRUE FAMILY (Spirits in the Pleroma) who will rejoice and sing praises when we return home.

Song Lyrics 8

And as you stay for the play

Fantasy has in store for you

Glowing light will see you through

It’s your day, shining day

All your dreams come true

Analysis

This is a detailed description of a Spirit leaving Hell (Earth) and returning home.

The Glowing Light is the Spiritual Awareness of rising through the dimensions and returning home to the Light (Pleroma).

It has been rumored and whispered that in the higher dimensions, our thoughts become instant reality.

EWF confirms this through their lyrics.

Song Lyrics 9

As you glide in your stride

With the wind as you fly away

Give a smile from your lips and say

I am free, yes I’m free, now I’m on my way

Analysis

EWF details our journey and though it may seem “awkward,” they prepare us and tell us to RESOUND the Mantra for going home.

Song Lyrics 10

I am free, yes I’m free, now I’m on my way.

 Come to see victory

In a land called fantasy

Loving life for you and me

To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

Analysis

This was said before and they are simply repeating to notify us that as long as we are in the Material World, things will repeat.

They repeat this in the song to let us know that as long as we focus our hearts and dreams and thoughts, we WILL GO HOME.

And it will be ecstasy to your soul and eventually, the light will enter you more brilliantly and we will all become part of the Pleroma (Home).

Song Lyrics 11

You will find other kind

That has been in search of you

Many lives has brought you to

Recognize, it’s your life now in review

Analysis

This was said before and they are simply repeating to notify us that as long as we are in the Material World, things will repeat.

They repeat this in the song to let us know that as long as we focus our hearts and dreams and thoughts, we WILL GO HOME.
