Understand the special messages being sent your way when you see repeated numbers.
By Sarah Roberts — Written on Aug 17, 2021
Angel numbers express subliminal messages to our conscious and subconscious, most of the time hidden from plain sight, but not from our minds. These messages are essential and are sent to us by the Universe to be understood and deciphered with a purpose: to give us clues, signals, and guidance.
Have you ever heard someone comment on the coincidence of repeatedly bumping into a specific number or number sequence throughout a given day, seeing repeating numbers on the clock when going to check the time, as well as on license plates, hotel room numbers, and so on?
Why do you keep seeing repeating numbers?
When you're seeing repeating numbers, there is an important spiritual message the Universe wants you to hear.
Numerology holds that angel numbers are sent to us as messages meant to wake us up so we will pay attention to new realities, motivating us to take the next necessary actions in order to advance in our lives.
The numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11 make a complete cycle of vibration in every one of the possible degrees of expression at earthly level. For each number, there is a universal cosmic force which is neither constructive nor destructive by itself; on the contrary, they are neutral forces waiting to be directed.
Therefore, let's start by dismissing any unfounded idea that there are "bad" or "destructive" numbers.
Each number provides a positive and fortunate vibration by itself, and as we understand the message, we can associate numbers better in our lives and harmoniously potentiate their energy.
This phenomenon of seeing repeating numbers in alignment becomes evident to people and keeps showing up when it’s essential they recognize the vibratory power of the message sent to them by their spirit guide through the number energy in question. It’s for this reason that there are more and more followers of the so-called "spiritual change" or "spiritual awareness" related to numerology.
There are scientists who associate the seeing repeated numbers with a process of global consciousness.
Furthermore, this phenomenon causes many people to question established paradigms, leading them to look for answers they feel make sense for them. Experts claim that this phenomenon creates new insights, causing many people to evolve in spiritual terms.
The Reticular Activating System (RAS) may also be a reason for seeing repeating numbers.
RAS is a “network of neurons” in the brain stem that help us sort through information, determining what is important and what doesn’t matter as much.
But when your focus is on something specific, it comes through with the important information. For example, if you want to buy an orange hat, you may start noticing orange hats everywhere.
Seeing repeated numbers is considered by some to be guidance from the future.
For example, a person may have a lucky or favorite number. Suddenly, this number starts to show up for them everywhere, becoming more than a coincidence. The moment a person realizes they can perceive another type of energy is the moment they start receiving the intended messages.
In many cases, the numbers mean something like, "Slow down. There is danger ahead," "Don't take that risk," "Say yes," or, “This is a warning from beyond."
This type of message doesn't have an individual purpose, but rather a collective one. This is why important dates such as 11/11/11 and 12/12/12 were considered energy portals for human spiritual progress.
While some people see numerical repetitions of important personal events, some numbers and number patterns seem to "chase" particular individuals. The most common are 11 or 11:11, 22 and 33.
In numerology, these are "master numbers" with importance and special meaning. Though some say all repeating numbers are master numbers, only these three — 11, 22 and 33 — are considered true master numbers, as they are part of what is known as the Triangle of Enlightment.
Keep in mind that when a message contains three or more numbers, you should study the different combinations of numbers to get a personal answer to your current situation.
For example, if you continuously notice the sequence 231, use the meaning of the combination of numbers 2 and 3, plus the combination of 3 and 1. Or, when feeling guided, add the subsequent digits until you have a single digit number.
If you find yourself seeing these repeating double-digit or triple-digit numbers, here are the specific spiritual meanings of their intended messages.
Meaning Of Seeing Repeating Angels Numbers
11 or 111 Meaning
The number 11 or 111 represents a new beginning. This can be considered a message for humanity to focus on spiritual advancement and overcome the material possessions fixation. The double number 11 can also mean duality, a double beginning. Learning to accept both feminine and masculine energies are only some of the challenges that this number presents us.
It can also mean wisdom and intuition. Combinations of 11 can be a sign that people are prepared to fully embrace their inner knowledge.
22 or 222 Meaning
The number 22 represents transition or a second chance to turn dreams into reality. As a double number, 22 picks up the spirituality of number 11 but with more practical energy. In a way, it brings the heaven message and energy to earth.
When a person sees the number 22, it can suggest they're ready to translate their ideas into a physical form. It will also provide the discipline and determination to reach the goal.

55 or 555 Meaning
The number 55 means you should proceed with caution because a significant life change is ahead. Like in the Wheel of Fortune Tarot card, we cannot know if this is going to be positive or negative since change is a natural part of life.

Many theories about the phenomenon of seeing repeated numbers point out that these angel numbers are part of some structure that defines and governs the entire universe.
Even if you’re on the skeptical spectrum, this mysterious phenomenon affects thousands of people around the world. Even if you don't consider this phenomenon could have a spiritual origin, it could demonstrate an intuition awakening.
