Its a puzzle to me as well. Way back an inner plane teacher told me he wasn't here to tell us things, but to teach us how to think. What seems to be contradictory isn't in the end - but it can take years to get that - decades in some instances - but the other side doesn't do time, so they don't give a damn.
Its cryptic because there's really no option.
We are lucky we get that crazy attention. Dig it.
Michael, I appreciate your input although I see things somewhat differently from you - you see this stuff as being some kind of expression of love and attention. Well, what do I know. Stalkers say (and probably believe) that they love the people they are pestering :) Jokes apart, I would much prefer us to experience a different way of love (if this is love) from these "metaphysical sources", where the "lovers" express their feelings in a way that we can relate to and benefit from. Being loved in a mysterious, incomprehensible, confusing way is not the kind of love I'd like to receive. I mean, it may be fun (although as I said some syncs are spooky and downright alarming), but at the end of the day, I would prefer (and this is my wish for all sentient beings) to be on the receiving end of a kind of love which expresses itself in a sincere, open and down-to-earth way. All this mystery we were thrown into and are struggling with does not suggest to me that what lies behind the Veil is something we would like and approve of. When things are kept hidden it is because they're 'something wrong' with them.
I continue to think that "this is not about us". We are tiny cogs in a bizarre mechanism which serves a purpose that is not about us. Frankly, my best hope is that there are agencies that feel pity for us and are doing something to help.
Anyway. I thought I would share my latest strange experience involving the number 11 to give you (and anybody reading this) an idea of the kind of strangeness I experience on a regular basis.
My elderly mother, about 10/15 years ago (when my weird experiences had not started and I was a naive materialist, COMPLETELY UNINTERESTED in anything spiritual, metaphysical or paranormal, and actually thinking that it was all complete rubbish), for no specific reason, out of the blue, told me that she would have liked to re-read a book that she had read many years ago, when she was a teacher. She remembered the title and the author.The title in English would be "The Truth about Pinocchio". I'm Italian, so this is an Italian book. It was no longer in print, but I managed to find a second-hand copy of it on the Internet. However, when the book arrived she did not seem incredibly interested. I was a bit disappointed, but well.
This was, as I said, 10/15 years ago.
A few days ago I was at my mum's place and I came across this book. Because I have now been 'sensitised' to the number 11, I noticed that it features the n.11 on the cover (see photo).
So I picked it up and flicking through it I saw a page where it refers to Pinocchio as a metaphor for the soul. Intrigued, I went to the Italian wikipedia page:
https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_avventure_di_Pinocchio._Storia_di_un_burattino
and to my surprise I saw that under the Title "Interpretation of the Pinocchio character" the very first one is "Esoteric interpretation". According to it, Pinocchio is a mechanical creature who aspires to reconnect to his soul (Alex and his constant reference "biological robots" comes to mind :)). Put that section into google translate, if you are interested in what it says. Very intriguing and pretty detailed. Unfortunately the English wiki page does not feature any interpretation of this kind. So if I hadn't "happened" to be Italian, I wouldn't have come across this.
But there's more. The day before finding the book I had been to Venice (my mother lives not far from it). "By coincidence", I had seen a huge statue of Pinocchio in a temporary exhibition of works of art in the garden of a Palace I had "coincidentally" walked past. So I googled "Pinocchio Venice 2019 statue" to see if I could find any info about it. But I didn't find anything. However, since I had taken a picture of an intriguing "installation" in the same garden, which included a sign with the name of the author and the title (you can see it if you zoom in the pic below), I googled them to see whether it would lead me to info about the garden in question and the Pinocchio statue, too. I was extremely surprised to read the info about THIS work of art AND its author (which I would never have googled had it not been for the Pinocchio statue, and I only got interested in the Pinocchio statue because I saw it the day before bumping into this book, after many years, and noticing that it had an 11 on it.) I copy and paste it below

Guardians of Time
The Sculptures "Guardians of Time" are created by Manfred Kielnhofer. The Austrian artist Kielnhofer is sure that mankind is watched and protected by strange characters. The previous and further existence of the human race belongs to those creatures taking care of mankind. Nobody knows where these guardians of time come from. They suddenly appear and also disappear at once, and sometimes they are around you but you cannot see them. They are always taking care of you. Some may think about a religion, but it is not. Prophets and religions come and go, but the “Guardians of Time” stay with us, independent of time or space. Independent whether your religion, your nationality, the colour of your skin.
The designer and artist Manfred Kielnhofer once had a skiing accident dangerous to life. He was bedfast for a long period and was not able to work. During the time of rehabilitation he began to think things over. What happened to me and who paid attention to me? Who rescued me? What is that good for? Why did I survive? He was asking himself. And then, suddenly, the shape of the guardians appeared in the dark, inside his brain, becoming more and more concrete. Immediately he knew: That’s the answer. These creatures have rescued him. They have taken care of him.
Since that time Manfred Kielnhofer is creating these sculptures. He named them “Guardians of Time”, in German “Waechter”. He travels around the world, showing these Sculptures and telling people not to be afraid, but also to be careful. Because if you do something that harms other people, you are watched by the “Guardians of Time” and you will be called to account.
The message says that people should never forget that they are always watched by a power that is stronger than mankind. Just lean back and have a good time, you are always sheltered. And stop dark doings, because you can never cheat the “Guardians of Time”."
"(...)These necromantic figures, based upon the ancient theme of the 'time guardian,' depict beings from another realm who, in ancient cultures and civilisations, would have been deemed responsible for paranormal goings-on"

What should one make of all this? Is this all just coincidence, or is it 'something' giving me hints about "the Truth"? Or is something playing with me, knowing that I am on a quest to understand what it is all about? Or is someone trying to mislead me into believing something which they want me to believe? It's impossible to know for sure. I am not going to take this all at face value just because I came across it via an 11-related synchronicity. By that I mean that if the number 11 had not pestered me for years, I would not have looked at that book, which my mother, for some reason unknown to me (and, seeing how we can be manipulated, probably unknown to her as well) showed a keen interest for years ago.
