The symbolic meaning of the number 17 is associated with transformation or resurrection, given it is the manifestation of knowledge acquired at the stage of the number 16. The result can be either negative or positive depending on the choices you made in the earlier stages of development. <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the ancient world, the <\/span>symbolic meaning of the number 17 <\/span>was highly spiritual and represented love and peace – or sin and evil. If you fail to make the right decisions, as seen in number 16<\/a>, you will continue to encounter obstacles. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Hebrew, the seventeen is the number of sin. Pythagoreans also said the seventeen is when \u201cThe Devil triumphs over God.\u201d The Devil is the six<\/a> and God is the eight. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sin means to be without a positive quality in an aspect of your consciousness or personality. It could be a limiting belief that holds you back, an attitude that ruins your relationships or negative opinions about something that makes you feel moody. These are just a few examples.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sufi alchemist, Jabir ibn Hayyan<\/a> wrote everything in the world is the 17, the law of equilibrium. This also relates to the 17<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> card of the Tarot Deck \u2013 The Star \u2013 which represents resurrection, rebirth after death. It is not by coincidence that Osiris raises from the dead on the 17<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> day of the month of Athyr in Egyptian mythology.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

The Number 17 in Religion<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both the Christian and Muslim religions emphasise this point too. In Exodus, the Ten Commandments are explained in 17 verses. The Ten Commandments of course are the laws man must obey in his attributions towards God and his fellow men. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symbolic meaning of the number 17 also features significantly in the New Testament, although its true meaning is hidden in the depths of the ocean \u2013 quite literally in fact. When the apostles could not catch any fish, Jesus suggests they cast the net on the right side of the boat. They did and caught 153 fish. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"17<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

When you add consecutive numbers from one to 17 (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 + 10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 17) you get 153.  It is significant here that it is on the right side of the boat the fisherman have success \u2013 by acting in the right way.<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This makes more sense when you consider the number 17 is associated with the zodiacal sign of Capricorn, the goat. In Greek mythology, the God Pan was half goat representing the instinctive impulses of man.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The basic instincts of man is survival; emotional survival as well as physical. This is why we can find it hard not to give in to cravings. Survival is controlled by the ego and the ego only responds to programs in the subconscious.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Matthew 25:33, it is written: “Sheep on the right..goats on the left”<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheep are traditionally known to follow one another without thinking for themselves. If the lead sheep walked over the edge of a cliff, the rest would follow. That actually happened in 2005. 1500 sheep in Turkey walked over the edge of the cliff.<\/a> 400 sheep died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Islamic tradition, initiates use 17 words in their daily prayer and seventeen liturgical gestures. Chapter 17 verse 1 states \u201cMost glorified is the One who summoned His servant (Muhammad) during the night\u2026He is the Hearer and the Seer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Shi\u2019ite mysticism, seventeen was the number of dead bought back to life, an idea the ancient Greeks also believed. Essentially, the myth refers to resurrection.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so we find the same pattern repeating. Therefore, consider this. The 17 is the power of 1 and 7, new beginnings and divine power. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
