Properties of the number 33

Symbolism

• According to R. Allendy, "this number shows the free activity of the being in the organization of the world. (...) It shows the free creature related to the plans of the Creator by links of justice and love or by the providential intermediaries". This number is seen thus connected to the Karma - 3 + 3 = 6.

• This number is a multiple of 11 of which the two antagonistic units have increased to the harmony by developing each one in a ternary, thus moving away the danger of the temptation, according to Lacuria. R. Allendy adds that the activity of the individual is added harmoniously to the cosmic realization of the Archetype: this is why 33 would never have unfavorable meaning.

• In Japan, 33 is a sign carrying misfortune because it says SAR-ZAN, which means also "misfortune without way out".

Bible

• The Christ in the Gospels accomplishes 33 miracles of which 24 were cures.

• Number of days following the circumcision of the foreskin of the child where the mother had to purify her blood, according to the law of Moses. She did not have to touch nothing of sacred and not to go to the sanctuary until 33 days have been passed. (Lv 12,4-8)

• David reigned 33 years to Jerusalem. (1 Ch 3,4)

The list of the 32 last is given in "Theo, New catholic encyclopedia", Droquet and Ardant, Fayard, 1989, p. 23. There are thirty men and three women (Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, Catherine of Siena and Therese of Avila, that waited 1970 to be recognized doctor of the Church), a lay doctor (Catherine of Siena), and another who wrote in French (Francis of Sales). We should not confuse the doctors of the Church, whose list is official and decided, with those of the Faith, theologians to which the tradition has given nicknames of doctors, but who were not recognized by the canon of the Church.

• The thirty-third year of a person, it is the perfect age, that of the full development, according to Mary Agreda. It is at this age that Jesus-Christ was crucified and that Krishna, the god with the 16000 wives and the 180000 sons, died to repurchase the Karma of the humanity. Saint Joseph was also 33 years old when he took for wife the Virgin Mary, according to visions of Mary Agreda.

During this recitation, we reflect on the seven principal circumstances where by love for us and for our salvation, the Man God has given all his blood: the circumcision, the agony, the flagellation, the crowning of thorns, the climbing to the Calvary, the crucifixion, the blow of lance. By counting the seven Glory to the Father, a total of 40 prayers are recited.

The 33's

by Iknowalotofshit - 1/12/12 7:27 PM

To try to lay it out in a clear way, I will break it down. 33 is the master number in numerology. Dive into pi, and learn about mathematics in nature. There are plenty of videos on Youtube to observe(I suggest "nature by numbers" as a good start). It's a universal creative footprint. The Sun is roughly 333,000x the mass of earth, there are 33 phylia in the Animal Kingdom, ice melts at 33 degrees, and the numerical value of "AMEN" equals 33. There are 33 vertabae, 33 percent of the earth's land mass is desert, and the average temperature of mercury is 333 degrees. So if you see this number, you are on "your path". Christ path if you want to get philisophical. To put it in perspective, if your a 33, you got a job to do. I don't know what it is, because it's your job. The ENTIRE universe spent an emmense amount of energy, thought, and positioning to give you life, and it was ordained. You are part of the 10 percent of the population of this planet at any given time. Mind, soul and zen. You probably looked up at the stars more than most people, and your probably have a crystal clear imagination. It's not a joke, it is not a coincidence. Find your job, and do it. Peace.

I dreamt about no.33 I saw it everywhere in my dream, it happened this morning Jan 2. I saw a bus crashed into a building many died different races I saw someone fetching their souls. Apparently as if I was in the bus all the signages along the streets were related to no.33. The 33store, 33rd floor of the building, 33rd ave.. I used to have dreams that will somehow happen to real life, a premonition...

I have the same issues that everyone else has stated above. The number 33 has been in my life ever since i can remember, whether it's time, amount i spent at a store, keno numbers, my sports jerseys, liscence plates, take out order numbers, my grandfathers hurse number was 33, etc etc etc. Im 27 years old and I still have no idea what this number means in my life. Maybe i'll find out when i turn 33. I actually got the number tattooed on the back of my neck. As of now, it's just one big mystery. I got so sick of people asking me what the number meant, i just started making up stories like i'm Larry Bird's love child, or i got shot 33 times and survived. The look on people's faces are priceless.

To understand the meaning of the number 33 is to begin to understand the mystical meaning of numbers from 1 to 9. Numbers are in words, sentences, books, movies, Holy Scripture, objects basically everything in creation. When you begin to learn the symbolic nature of numbers you no longer have to make up stories. The look on peoples faces will go far beyond priceless. Most will say interesting. For example the word GENESIS (33) which talks about God's creation of the heavens and the earth is the number 33. Know you know how important number 33 is; this is a good place to start.

by Gaurav - 11/16/11 9:18 PM

As a kid I used to pray to live only till the age of 33 as I was sure that that way I wont have to see the deaths of my dear ones (My parents, sister,pets). It reappeared again as the roll no of the only girl who was true love of my life. Lost her company due to my extreme shyness. But then the number started appearing again and again every where. The receipt of tax filing had written 33 on it. My guitar cost me Rs 3300. Every time I look at a watch it's 7:33, 11:33, 10:33, 4:33, 3:33. My debit card has it's cvv as 333. Often the random pages of books I open are 33. Number of the vehicles have 33 80% of the time. One day I was working in office and didn't see 33 the whole day. I was just thinking in my mind that,"Today I didn't see or hear 33", just then my colleague said he had received 33 records that day. One day I was about to get change from a grocery store. The I amount I was expecting was 30 but then I thought if the shopkeeper gives me 33 Rs back I would consider it as a sign from God that I should... more...

Every night I wake from sleep. 3:33. I went to the bathroom the other night. The tv said 3:33, walked to the kitchen the microwave.3:33 the stove 3:33. Facebook msgs 33. No matter what I am doing... I rarly look at the time...when I do it is 3:33/ I do not watch for it..it just happens. Even when it is on my mind I look at something else when it is near then for no reason glance at the clock (wanting to kick myself) 3:33. It is everwhere! Now during the day or when I am thinking about it I can understand I would see and seek the number 33. But when I sleep and wake at 3:33! I was curious. I always knew Jesus was 33 when he died and all that. When the miners were trapped in South America...I noticed the number 33. Wondered how long it would be to figure up all the 33's in that. All through childhood my fav number was 3.I dunno why. Don't ask. I was kind of afraid it meant something bad was goin to happen...I knew it had to be some sort of a sign and not that I am typing this I feel absolutely crazy LOL

Chelle's story is the closest parallel 2 my own! I began noticing 3:33 on the clock in Aug. 2010. Since that time, I must admit that I have experienced MUCH spiritual growth & definitive understanding of many truths, & biblical passages as well. Quotes I've heard all my life just seemed 2 'click' & make Perfect Sense! I feel truly blessed. Since (@ least) junior high, I declared 33 to be "my number" simply bc my first & last name begin w/ the letter C. I surmised A=1, B=2, C=3; therfore CC=33. the crazy part is I just started studying numerology 1 & 1/2 yrs ago! 33 also occurs w/in the lat/longitude of my birthtown; & I just learned that my Birth Card is the 6 of Diamonds- the weirdest/coolest part though is that my Cosmic Lesson card is the 3 of Spades, & my Cosmic Reward Card is the 3 of Clubs!!! I truly am just in AWE of how everything in this life is REALLY Connected & with Purpose. Oh yes, let's not forget I was born on 11/1- All Saint's Day!

You are not alone. I have seen this number as long as I can remember. And even before I could count. But it is a warning that to take the route you have chosen for that day may turn to a bad situation. So listen to your inner self and rethink what your about to do. It could end up being hazardous to you or someone else.

While most correspondents associate the number 33 with something positive, for me it always brings bad luck.
I left the army on March 3 (3/3) and didn't marry my true love. I married on 3/3 at age 33 and the marriage failed within a year.
When ever I experience the number 33 something negative befalls me. I used to record the events, but at the moment I have misplaced the paper. Only this past week I entered the number $.33 in my check book. On the same day my 1000 day clock stopped. I tried for three days to get it running again. Today I deleted the number $.33 from my check book and immediately after the clock began to run again. If I see the number 33 minutes on my digital clock something negative occurs that day.I fear the number 33 and avoid it whenever possible.

by Michelle - 5/14/11 9:45 AM

I started out always looking at the clock and it was always 7:33 am or pm which used to be my house number. Then is would progress to 5:33 or 11:33 all of the time. Now everytime I look at a clock whether its the microwave, clock in my car, etc it is always something 33. I have been trying to figure this out and it has me thinking someone is trying to tell me something as the progression is now all numbers of clock then 33..all the time.

I'm relieved to know I'm not going crazy. I've been seeing 33 for several years now, whenever I look at the clock when I go to sleep, wake up, check the time...happens many times throughout the day. My oldest daughter was born at 12:33 which is what I initially began seeing all the time. Now it's any time of day with 33 in it. Was beginning to scare me a bit - I've never experienced anything like this before. Can someone explain the significance of this?

Just be patient..he will make it known to you in due time.

33 is the age of the inhabitants of Paradise according to Islam. 33 indicates 1. love, and 2. eternal life. Jesus said: This is eternal life, that they may know You The Only True God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent forth. John 17:3. So this is the sole point of Religion, to teach us that through knowing our Father, we obtain eternal life=33. Another point, the Gematric value of the word Allah is 66 (A=1 L=30 L=30 H=5, 1+30+30+5=66) and his last prophet Muhammad (may peace and blessings be upon all prophets whom The Only One True God has sent) said that God has the most beautiful names, and they number 99. Both 66 and 99 are multiples of 33. My two cents :)

Under the Sign of 33

My DOB: 1+2+8+1+9+8+4

This number has been an huge part in my life for about 8 years now, it is absolutely amazing! So many things! A lot are mentioned here but just other things that really make my jaw drop and just smile and open my arms in amazement, it gets to a point that it is just hilarious. It used to scare me a lot at first but I've learned to accept it since it is an everyday life with me in almost every step I make. It makes me paranoid at times but I know there has to be something behind it.

I am not a religious person but I feel I have some sort of task to begin/finish. This is just the feeling I get, I really don't know who to talk to about this or how o approach it, or if I even should, but seeing this website is quite surprising. I can write a book of things that have happened to me with this number, and maybe I should. The most incredible ones are stuck in my head and I tend to go over them, analyze them but cannot find a meaning or a connection.
