(The following is excerpted from my recent reply to a thoughtful 33 Mysteries community participant):

Perhaps those who see 33s are folks who need to be reminded about the presence of mystery, itself. Of course, I am referring to the Great Mystery that is this existence. In my case, I used to be a pretty hard-bitten causalist (I guess I could say); everything in this universe has to be understandable, if only we can see it in the right way.

Well, even before this 33 thing started in my life, I began to get clues that this view was too narrow. Now, I am much more happily and peacefully living in a Universe whose origins and fundamental workings are utterly mysterious.

So, it may be that there is no way to "understand" the 33 thing. But, even if there were, it seems that such a thing could be potentially valuable for any soul who has lost sight of the essential mystery of this life, this cosmos. Such a person might be Christian, an atheist, smart, not-so-smart....could be any one, it seems to me.

In my own experience, this thing is most certainly of an order of phenomena that is almost entirely unlike anything that may actually be understandable in this world, anything causal. My wife, who is now fully convinced (having remained quite skeptical for many years) that the appearance of 33s in my life is indeed some example of paranormal phenomena, sees it happening to me everyday. Of course, for you also, it is not just appearing on digital clocks. In my daily life, 33 shows up in the most uncanny, extraordinary - even fully "impossible" - ways! I am so glad my wife sees this happening, because it is really unbelievable. I might not believe it myself, except she is there to see it with me.

That kind of thing may be natural in some super-natural way, for sure. But, as to how this universe could manifest some of these most unlikely occurrences is a mystery of an order which I have rarely dealt with in any other way, and surely not something so consistently odd as this, and over such a long period of time.

It would be great for us all to meet! I would feel bad for the many folks, especially in other countries, who might feel excluded though, by not being able to come into the US or afford the ticket or whatever. Anyway, I will keep hoping for that.
