After hearing about the most sacred of numbers 17, I decided to search more, which is how I came across this site. It is amazing how much 17 is connected to my life! i mean, I was born on March 25. My name has 13 letters. I have 7 people living in my house... and! ohh.... never mind. 17 has nothing to do with my life.

I see the number 17

by Rachapon - 3/28/13 5:39 PM
Wow! I thought that I was the only weird one. But after I read some of the comments here, I know that I am not alone. My house number is 17/2. Street number 17. Both of my phone numbers end with 17. And I see 17 almost every where. Especially license plate I see this very often. That is why I decided to check out the meaning of 17. Actually, I did not expect to find anything. But this is amazing. Can anyone explain the meaning of this? I feel that there is a very special meaning as though something is trying to tell me something.

I see the number seventeen every day in so many ways, I always happen to look st the clock at 17 min. After the hour. I was born on April 17 th and read that people believe Jesus' birthdate was April 17th. I can't explain it but I feel this is very significant in some way, and feel I have a power that I am not using. I have always felt this way my entire life, like I have a power I am not using or are aware of.........noticing more as time goes by......

What's it mean for me?!

by ashleigh - 1/21/13 10:14 PM
My bday is 11/17/82, i was married on 09/17/04, my son was born on 7/17/08. My husband and all 3 of my children have exactly 17 letters in their name(not planned). Here lately I see the number everywhere.... it surrounds me already, but now I am seeing it more. I was surprised to read that a lot of you see 17 when you look at the clock! My husband thinks I am nuts, but I know there is something to this.

I to have 17 letters in my name. I also almost always look at the clock and see the number 17. Jesus is my savior and I often ask Him what it means for me in my life. One time recently I found a penny in the grocery store and it was in aisle 17. I believe it has a supernatural meaning that God can only explain if we ask Him. I was very happy to see so many people who have found the Lord as a result of the number 17. Thanks for your comments!

Be prepared to say WTF.. To start this whole thing off as the result of 17, I found god in my life.. and I have a slight feeling I'm meant to write this out for someone out there to be influenced by and solve their own challenges of life. My reasoning is because there's a 189 comments before mine..
Anyways! To kick this insanity off, My name is Micah Mullins-Gabel. Name is 17 letters. I am the product of an affair, baby of the family and the mut as well. My life has been like a movie. I was born 06/17/1993 in Lincoln, NE. I was not the most normal kid.. I was what most would call completely creepy/psycho/insane/demonic. I wasnt anti-social creeper status or somthin but I was an outkast. Simple as that. Growing up, my mother wasn't home too much, it's not like I never saw her but her influence to my early childhood was minimal. She handled 3 jobs while my siblings who are all 10 yrs older than me raised me. To that I now see my brother who is only 28 as a father in a sense. I don't literally think "oh, dad!"... more...

I absolutely loved reading that bro, kind of funny right? Our names meaning the same thing and 17 reoccuring. I just love reading about peoples lives. I feel as if I just read some strangers autobiography. You should write a book. xD My eyes are alittle messed up now though, from reading the small print. Just thought i'd say something, definately gives me stuff to think about while I stare at the moving faces in my ceiling.

I was born on August 17, 1993 OR 8/17 for that matter. I think this is awesome, and it starting to make sense to me now. So thank you.

Many people here borned on SATURDAY

by Sarp SIK - 1/12/13 5:18 AM
hey guys, I just checked from the calender, I borned in 17.09.83, Marina 17.06.1994, and anonymous writer also 17.06.1961. There are two more guys Tommy and Danielle, borned in 17.7.1997, another anonymous writer 17.7.1982, Jsduarte borned in 17.06.1978. all the exact dates given here, are pointing out one same day, SATURDAY. we all borned on SATURDAY, the day of saturn, seventh day of the week(not sunday, check wikipedia) Today I saw a dream there was number 17, few days ago I saw the same number in another dream, came to check the symbolic meaning that is why I am here. and I realized this common thing we share here. Can this be a coincidence or means some connection?

I was born June 17, 1961 (adds up to 17). My husband was born on Nov 17. My two best friends were born Sept 17 and Oct 17. the number 17 comes up constantly with me especially with the time and Bible verses. I randomly see 6:17 and 11:17 daily on the clock. I have a very distinct feeling that this is highly significant for me. So I looked on the net to see if I could gets some clues and found this!

I was just about to write that I see this number everywhere as well, then I saw the time was 1.07am where I am in NZ :) My best friend who died 2 years ago saw 444 everywhere. I see 717 0r combinations of 1s and 7s everywhere (for yrs now).

I visited my dear grandmother's plot today with flowers. Last time I was there, the place was empty and when I walked back to my car, I found a silver angel decoration on my car. This visit, I asked the caretaker my granny's plot number. He looked it up, Row 17, plot 117.

HELP ME!!!

by Anonymous - 6/16/10 4:44 AM
I see the number 17 everywhere! it is my best friend's birth date and I see it in phone numbers, books, road signs and plenty of other places. I started counting the number of times I would see it in a day and on 17/7/07 I saw it 17 times it was then when I became anxious to know it's meaning. Over the years I have done a bit of research and found a lot of crazy things about religion and angel numbers. I do not belive in any sort of god so i don't know what to think of it. PLEASE HELP ME!

I just read your message and I feel that I may understand why you are distraught. The Universe is proving to you its divine power and although you recognise it you are willingly shutting the door of enlightenment.You are a very lucky person to be able to communicate with the what is...BELIEVE it...God was there before religion...and will be there ever after...

My quest

by Rickie Norman - 12/02/10 5:18 AM
I'm here on this site for the same reason as everyone, I'm only looking for a simple answer. Why 17? I've seen it reoccur just as much as everyone or more, yet I can't put my finger in it's role in my life or life it's self. I know it's the most used odd number in the universe. Are we chosen to acknowledge this number and seek it's purpose? If anyone out there can help me understand the truth please extend your knowledge on this topic.

RE: HELP ME!!!

dude this stuff happens to me too. i dont even look for it any more the number finds me i told my friends about it and after about a week they started seeing it the world needs to know about this number lol im not religious or anything but this number is just wierd

RE: HELP ME!!!

by Bloomfield - 12/23/12 11:56 AM
It's interesting that the time stamp on your post is 4:44, the number of the heart or fourth chakra. I don't think you need to be scared. It's your job to watch the context in which this number appears. It doesn't matter if you believe in God. Obviously a higher power believes in you, or they wouldn't be spending all this time to get your attention. This is probably not a warning. Warnings are usually a lot more direct. Just relax and observe very carefully. The fact that 4, the heart, is associated with your post, tells us that this is a matter of the heart.This is intended to help you in some way.

Hey guys, that's funny that so many people are connected in some way to this number, it happened to me too, I'm Italian and I read about a lot of people who see 17 everywhere, in my culture 17 means bad luck but I read also that it could be connected to number 1 and 7.
Everything belongs to 1 and 7 is the number of the evolution. I don't know I've been trying to figure out some explanation, maybe there's a connection between people who see the number!

last night I dreamed i walked into a room, everyone was dressed in white, seated at a large table, spread with a large amount of food. An angelic being explained to me that the table was set because the world would end in 17 weeks or 17 months, I am not sure I remember which time he said but I remember thinking, that I had $1700 in my checking account which would see me through to the end of time. What could this possibly mean

Wow. I'm amazed! I seriously thought I was the only one. I began to see this number aggressively after I became a born again Christian. I too have based my decisions on that number. It's definitely connected to God because every decision I've made so far following 17 has giving me incredible amounts of blessings. I'm still in shock that other people feel this way.

what does it mean in our dreams?

by Jimmy B - 8/08/12 8:37 AM
What does this number mean in our dreams? iv been seeing different number sequences for about a 5 months now this is the first time i dream about one and it so happens to be 17. i cant remamber the dream properly but their were alien/robot benigs, two of them and they where had hyipnotised my friend except for one whom i was able to bring back to life via the powers i possesed. im sure this dream has meaning coz in it i was having a conversation with my unborn child whom my girlfriend and i are deciding on weather or not to keep it. this is her 2nd pregnancy and the same thing happened with my first born but this time i cannot remember what my baby said to me in that dream. i dont know what the hoot is going on with these numbers coz i see them all. i had this dream last night and yesterday afternoon, for the first time i saw the sequence of 7777, twice! they were less than an hour apart. what is going on, why are we seeing these numbers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? realy now, why! i know alot about the illuminati and... more...

by Larry - 8/05/12 6:03 PM
Ever wonder why the 17 yr. cicada population goes nuts every 17 yrs? Yep, like most here, went nuts seeing this number instantly adding up from everywhere. Every 17 yrs. some traumatic event occurred in my life as well...17,34,51... Born in '53 Turned 17 in '71, how's that for a balanced view. 17 represents balance as well, between the physical and the spiritual worlds. Suggest you find the American Indian definition of Two Spirit Being. You might just be one. Don't let some shrink call you bi-polar. Ha! We LIVE on a bi-polar planet.

The number that pops everywhere

by Frank - 7/24/12 1:03 PM
Like many here, I thought I was alone in feeling "followed" by this number. For me it started so long ago I don't even remember anymore (10+ years). My birthday is not associated with this number in any way, but as I started to notice it appearing more and more (digital clocks, street numbers, license plates, attendees to seminars organized by me, and so on and so forth), I began to take notice and always interpreted it as a spiritual sign of confirmation (sort of "you are on the right path"), while at the same time associating 18 with "the wrong path", both numbers enhanced when appearing together with 11. No real basis or numerology behind this, just my "gut feeling". It was a funny (almost creepy) event when a group of friends were gathered and this gypsy girl says that she is going to tell us what our Tarot card is. When she shows me what's supposed to be my card, I tell the group "ok people, this card has a number, and the number is......" and all yell in unison "17!!!!!" The look on the girl's face, priceless.

Ok.I share this same significance of the number 17.it has become obvious to me to ask the question,what do we all have in common?my birthdate is 7/17/87.I can remember all the way back to kindergarten having the "cubbyhole" number 17.I was raised in church having always trying to convince myself that I was saved until just recently actually witnessing Gods grace through many trials and much thought and reproach. I am also an aspiring musician.any feedback would be much appreciated. God bless us all.
