33: As powerful as numerologists say?

For ages, 33 has been heralded as a “master number.” Numerology, which The Free Dictionary defines as “the study of the occult meanings of numbers and their supposed influence on human life,” describes those rare individuals whose birth dates reduce down to 33 as “Master Teachers.” Seventhlifepath.com

explains that Master Teachers focus upon “reaching the world and uplifting the loving energy of mankind.”

Within his 33 Mysteries Facts pages, Adam C. Burke lists many reasons why 33 can be called “a number with special significance.”   Wikipedia also reports that 33 has special applications within math,

science, history, and religion.  For example, “a normal human spine has 33 vertebrae when the bones that form the coccyx are counted individually.”  The Star of David can be numerically represented by the number 33 (two three-sided triangles).  The expression “Amen” can be

numerologically reduced to 33.  Jesus is said to have performed 33 miracles - and to have been crucified at

age 33 in the year 33 A.D.

If all that weren’t enough, a recent survey by Friends Reunited Media Centre reveals that “33 Is The Magic

Number” because “This Is The Age Brits Are At Their Happiest.”  The results show that 70% of all those 40-plus year olds who participated in the survey claimed that they were “not truly happy” until they reached the age of 33.  Why would this be so?  Psychologist Donna Dawson theorizes:  The age of thirty-three is enough time to have shaken off childhood naivety and the wild scheming of teen-aged years without losing the energy and enthusiasm of youth…  We have yet to develop the cynicism and world-weariness that comes with later years.
