33 Mysteries Questionnaire

(Previously: http://home.earthlink.net/selvaluna/index.html) NOTE: This section is no longer interactive. If you would like to post your answers to the Questionnaire, please post in the 33 Mysteries Guestbook Forum. Thank you.

 


In order to explore "33 experiences" in greater depth, please consider the following questions about your experiences. You may wish to answer some or all of these questions. Your answers may be personal, and kept to yourself, or you may share them with others.


Some purposes of this Questionnaire:


1) To gather data and look for patterns, if any, among those experiencing high incidences of "33s."


2) To provide a more uniform format for further dialogue on the topic.


3) To inspire more in-depth exploration of such experiences, by considering these questions, as well as any answers others offer about their own experiences.


Be sure to also visit the "33 Mysteries Forum" guestbook, as well as the related sites linked from these pages. And, thank you for your participation in the "33 Mysteries"!


Questions:


*) Do you know any others, either friends or family members, who have a similar experience with this, or any other number or set of numbers?


*) Do you know whether any of your family ancestors had any comparable experiences, which you may have learned about through family stories, diaries, etc.?


*) Do "33s" typically show up individually for you, or in groups of "33s"? Does this make any difference in any effect it may have on you?


*) How would you describe the effect such experiences have on you? They are frightening, they are comforting, mystifying, etc. Please describe in your own way.


*) How often, or how many "33s" might you encounter in a given day, week, or month?


*) For how many weeks, months, or years has this been happening in your life?


*) Does it happen regularly (all the time, everyday), or does it "come in waves"?

Comments: [NOTE: I have copied/pasted all the questions in the form, then answered them, myself.]

*) Do you know any others, either friends or family members, who have a similar experience with this, or any other number or set of numbers?

Those who have signed in here, plus only about three others.

*) Do you know whether any of your family ancestors had any comparable experiences, which you may have learned about through family stories, diaries, etc.?

My dad used to have a thing for "44," but not for as long as this has been going on for me, and not nearly as intensely.

*) Do "33s" typically show up individually, or in groups of "33s"? Does this make any difference in any effect it may have on you?

When they come in goups, sometimes as many as three or four at a time, it is very fascinating for me!

*) How would you describe the effect such experiences have on you? They are frightening, they are comforting, mystifying, etc. Please describe in your own way.

Usually comforting, though sometimes it is a bit too much to take in! It does seem almost "familiar," somehow.

*) How often, or how many "33s" might you encounter in a given day, week, or month?

It varies, but can be as many as 10 or 12 per day. Usually no fewer than two or three that I would consider significant (as opposed to just seeing the number, which is not unusual by itself).

*) For how many weeks, months, or years has this been happening in your life?

For over ten years now.

*) Does it happen regularly (all the time, everyday), or does it "come in waves"?

It's pretty consistent, but there have been "dry" periods, as well as very, very active periods.

*) When you see "33s," is it usually in association with some activity, or some thoughts you are having at the time, or does it "just happen"?

Early on, it seemed that when I had some special insight or inspiration, I'd then see a 33. But, now they just happen whenever.

*) Does it surprise you? Every time? Sometimes? Never?

I'm actually getting quite used to it, though it has taken some years! It does still surprise me sometimes, though.

*) Do you consider any or all "33s" significant, or only those encountered under some special circumstances? Please describe.

I don't count them as "significant" unless they mark some change in activity of some sort, like I go to the kitchen for some water, and the clock says "2:33," or if they come in large groups, or are associated with some other special activity, occurrence, thoughts, etc. If I just see one 33 somewhere... well, that happens to everyone. That's not what this is like.

*) With what, if anything, do you associate the number, "33"? Does it conjure up any particular ideas for you? Perhaps you can simply "free associate" about it, and write down any thoughts that come to mind about the number "33" or about your experiences.

I have a lot of associations now, after much research into it, but not much when it began.

*) Do you think it means something and, if so, what do you think it means?

I have no idea, though it seems to be something from "higher up," if you know what I mean. It does seem to "tell me" everything is okay. It feels like a Friend.

*) If you think it means something, would you say that this meaning is special, or personal (for you alone), or that this same meaning might be shared by any or all others having similar experiences?

I've almost always felt there must be others having this...and that it means the same thing for ALL of us, whatever that is! I do think others may have different reactions or conclusions about it.

*) Do you suspect that there are other people having a very similar experience? If so, do you think it is because you may have something else in common with them, or that there is some purpose or reason for it happening to those people, as well?

I don't know, of course, but it does seem like that.

*) Do you have any particular responses to such experiences (such as saying a small prayer, feeling excited or mystified, avoiding some locations or situations afterward, or writing down such accounts), or any other particular reactions to it?

It has never caused me to avoid anything, and I have had many phases of reactions, from astonishment to prayer. Over the years, I have grown a huge file of accounts I've documented...with some pretty amazing stuff.

*) Do you think these experiences are trying to "tell you something"? If so, do you have an idea about what they are trying to tell you, or teach you, or cause you to do, or not to do?

This is one thing I continue to have no idea about, though it does seem like some kind of affirmation... but of what, exactly, I do not know...

*) How do others generally respond to your experiences, whether by hearing your reports, or by seeing them first hand when they are near you?

It varies, until they see it when they are with me. Even then, it varies: some are sure it is "God," and others think I'm making it happen, or it isn't really anything. Many think it is some spiritual thing, like a sign. Subsequently, many people will say they think of me whenever they see a "33." I'm not sure how I feel about this!

*) How do you feel about others' reactions or opinions about your experience? Do they bother you? Are you unaffected, or in some way affected, by their reactions?

It really doesn't affect me much. I'm really happy to find out I'm not the only one, though!

*) Do you think that this sort of experience could happen with any number, such as any two-digit number that could appear on clocks, license plates, etc. (such as: 11, 22, 44, or 55)? Does this happen with any other numbers, or just "33s"?

It certainly has not for me, but I suppose it could. I don't know anyone who has said it does for them.

*) Do you consider them "coincidences," or "synchronicities," or purely random events?

The fact that they come in groups makes them highly "synchronous," though I have no idea what "coincidence" even really means. Because it truly defies odds/probabilities, it cannot be simply "random."

*) Do you think this sort of thing can be subjected to scientific analysis, or that it is more associated with something entirely non-scientific? Both, or neither?

Definitely "both."

*) Regarding how you feel about it, do you think that "it is happening to me," "happening because of me" (your interest in it causes it to happen or happen more frequently), both, or neither?

I don't know, but I honestly suspect it is a little of both.

*) Do you think that if a person decided to begin to look for "33s" around them, that they would then have similar experiences as yours?

Can't say for sure. But I know that many of my friends have tried that, and it did not work, or did only for a short time or in relatively small quantities.

Comments: 1. My wife now has similar experiences as mine with 33,not seldom but often for the last 6 years, mostly license plates and clocks.
2. No ancestors that I'm aware of had this experience,although my father was aware of my "33's" and he won a car in group #33 in a golf tournament, and had a special cross(jewlery) custom made with an engraving that had exactly 33 letters"Jesus Son of God accept my soul when I die."He counted the letters after the fact and found that very interesting.
3. I find the number 33 usually by itself, but I also have experienced multiples of 33, for example my father died in October/89(1089) which is 33 x33,he was 66 when he died(33 +33), I was 27 when he died(3x3x3) and my parents were married for 33 years.
4. The feeling I get when I see 33 is one of wonderment, It's been happening now for over 25 years and the appearences of this number is almost expected and yet there's always surprises. Yesterday as I was driving I was pondering on selling my car (it's now 3 years old with 100,000 km's), at this moment I glanced down at my tripometer and it read 1033, this was the stock number of my brand new car(which I won at the casino, actually I won two cars in an hour that night), what are the odds?
5. The number 33 appears in one form or another to me everyday, I don't count how often because it would be too many times and this has been happening everyday for over 25 years.
6. As above.
7. All the time,some days more but every day.
8. I associate this number with God.
9. It always surprises me, it never surprises me.
10.All 33's are significant,what significance is the BIG question.
11. The first time I felt the signifcance of 33 was in our high school auditorium,the room was packed with students during a Christmas "pagent",a teacher was reading the story of Christ,there was silence in the candle-lit auditorium when the teacher read that "at the age of 33 Jesus died", at the moment I heard this ( I was already experiencing 33 sightings) I got the most wonderful rush of goose bumps that I'll never forget, I didn't know up to that point that Jesus died at 33 but since then I have always associated this number with Jesus.
12. I wish I knew what it means,but I always thought it was just me, I never even assumed that others might be experiencing something mysterious about 33.
13. I don't know what this number could mean for others but I would hope that it's a positive thing,I would never link this number with something that is bad, I would consider it a good omen.
14. Like I said before I'm very surprised that others have taken note of 33,maybe I'm even disappointed as I thought I was the only one who possessed this strange phenomenon. If these sightings happen as often to others it only makes the mystery to me all the more strange.
15. My wife will say a prayer everytime she sees 33, she too associates this number with God.
16. I wonder wonder wonder.If I had to take a leaping guess as to the significance of this 33 I would say it has to do with the future, when the world will not be recognized as the earth we know, when chaos will rule (this comes from the gut I have no real reason to say these things.)
17.I don't think I can adequately explain to others my 33 experiences, I can't even explain them to myself, but most friends and family find it interesting, but it is truly more than interesting, it is sometimes just weird.
18. Unaffected.
19. For me it's just 33.
20. I consider them God-incidences.
21. Non-scientific, no science necessary.
22. It's definitley happening to me, it is what it is,I see what I see, it's not my imagination and it sometimes drives me crazy because I wish I knew what it means,if anything.
23. It's possible, my wife started to experience 33 sightings after we met and it has increased ever since.

Comments: Since I only saw a collection of "33s" at one point in my life, perhaps my input is limited. Nevertheless, I will try to answer some of the questions.
I viewed the collection as just another instance of what I think of as the Unseen World attempting to communicate its closeness and its love for us, its wanting to share with us the mystery and joy. So my response was gratitude.
I don't think these things are meant just for me, no. I believe all is there for us to experience, if we have eyes to see, ears to hear, if we are open to experiencing the larger picture of what life is.

Comments: Questions:

*) Do you know any others, either friends or family members, who have a similar
experience with this, or any other number or set of numbers?

My husband is starting to notice 33 but I am not sure if it is because of me talking about it
or it is coming naturally to him.

*) Do you know whether any of your family ancestors had any comparable experiences,
which you may have learned about through family stories, diaries, etc.?

I was adopted so I would not know of any ancestors experiences. Growing up there was
no mention of this.

*) Do "33s" typically show up individually for you, or in groups of "33s"? Does this make
any difference in any effect it may have on you?

Sometimes they appear with another number in between, usually a ‘0’. But for the most
part they are always together. I am just starting to really become interested in this 33
thing going on with me. I have become very aware of its occurances for the past year.

*) How would you describe the effect such experiences have on you? They are
frightening, they are comforting, mystifying, etc. Please describe in your own way.

I would say this experience is more mystifying than anything else. Something is
happening with it. If I knew what or why than perhaps I can give it an emotion!

*) How often, or how many "33s" might you encounter in a given day, week, or month?

This is occurring ALL THE TIME!

*) For how many weeks, months, or years has this been happening in your life?

I have noticed it this happening often within the past year.

*) Does it happen regularly (all the time, everyday), or does it "come in waves"?

All the time.

*) When you see "33s," is it usually in association with some activity, or some thoughts
you are having at the time, or does it "just happen"?

It just happens.

*) Does it surprise you? Every time? Sometimes? Never?

It did in the beginning. But I am starting to say to myself...”Hey, what’s going on?”!


*) Do you consider any or all "33s" significant, or only those encountered under some
special circumstances? Please describe.

I consider them all signigicant, I just don’t know why. Being it happens all the time I
cannot attribute it to any one thing.

*) With what, if anything, do you associate the number, "33"? Does it conjure up any
particular ideas for you? Perhaps you can simply "free associate" about it, and write down
any thoughts that come to mind about the number "33" or about your experiences.

Originally I associated it with Freemasonry, but upon numerology research I discovered it
is a frequency of sorts. I am now beginning to wonder if it is trying to tell me something.

*) Do you think it means something and, if so, what do you think it means?

I am wondering if it is due to the fact that we are aproaching the fourth density? Sortof
like tapping into something higher.

*) If you think it means something, would you say that this meaning is special, or
personal (for you alone), or that this same meaning might be shared by any or all others
having similar experiences?

I know it means something, maybe that is why I am answering your questionaire. From
reading your website I would have to say it happens to you too. So obviously it is
happening to others.

*) Do you suspect that there are other people having a very similar experience? If so, do
you think it is because you may have something else in common with them, or that there
is some purpose or reason for it happening to those people, as well?

See above response. I am a One True God believer so anything is possible.

*) Do you have any particular responses to such experiences (such as saying a small
prayer, feeling excited or mystified, avoiding some locations or situations afterward, or
writing down such accounts), or any other particular reactions to it?

I am all of those feelings rolled into one. I don’t avoid anything since it happens
anywhere and everywhere. Even people do it to me and don’t realize it. I am going to
start a 33 journal so maybe I can see some constitancies.

*) Do you think these experiences are trying to "tell you something"? If so, do you have
an idea about what they are trying to tell you, or teach you, or cause you to do, or not to
do?

I think the 33 is trying to tell me something. I feel I am supposed to tap into this
frequency somehow, but what it is for I do not know.

*) How do others generally respond to your experiences, whether by hearing your reports,
or by seeing them first hand when they are near you?

My husband is the only one that is aware of this happening to me. He is starting to see
the 33 occurring all of the time as well.

*) How do you feel about others' reactions or opinions about your experience? Do they
bother you? Are you unaffected, or in some way affected, by their reactions?

I don’t discuss this with anyone else. The few people that I come in contact with dismiss
me as a conspiracy nut.

*) Do you think that this sort of experience could happen with any number, such as any
two-digit number that could appear on clocks, license plates, etc. (such as: 11, 22, 44, or
55)? Does this happen with any other numbers, or just "33s"?

Sometimes 11 and 22. Actually this happens numerous times throughout the week but
not as much as the 33

*) Do you consider them "coincidences," or "synchronicities," or purely random events?

I don’t know, but most difinately not a coincidence or random event.

*) Do you think this sort of thing can be subjected to scientific analysis, or that it is more associated with something entirely non-scientific? Both, or neither?

Both.

*) Regarding how you feel about it, do you think that "it is happening to me," "happening
because of me "(your interest in it causes it to happen or happen more frequently), both,
or neither?

It is happening to me. Almost as if it wants me to pay attention.

*) Do you think that if a person decided to begin to look for "33s" around them, that they
would then have similar experiences as yours?

I don’t know. That may have been what happend to my husband.

*) What is your astrological sign (Western and/or Vedic)?

I don’t know this difference between the two. I am Libra 9-24-1960.

*) Was the onset of your 33 experiences precipitated by any major life changes, such as
the loss or gain of a relationship, job, etc.?

I had my son at home with a midwife. There was 3 people present at the birth, the
midwife, my husband, and myself. It was a very spiritual event! That’s when it started.

*) Any additional comments or speculations?

Maybe you can help me figure that out!

Comments: *) Do you know any others, either friends or family members, who have a similar experience with this, or any other number or set of numbers?
No.

*) Do you know whether any of your family ancestors had any comparable experiences, which you may have learned about through family stories, diaries, etc.?
No, but I never explored that. I was just happy to see this number all the time. It felt wrong to analize it.

*) Do "33s" typically show up individually for you, or in groups of "33s"? Does this make any difference in any effect it may have on you?
Differently. It started with other doubled or tripled or n-teth numbers but the three remained.

*) How would you describe the effect such experiences have on you? They are frightening, they are comforting, mystifying, etc. Please describe in your own way.
Sometimes gives me shivers but i fell ok with it as I found that people that have the three expressed somewhere around them (in house, on cars, tatooes...) are very alike me.

*) How often, or how many "33s" might you encounter in a given day, week, or month?
It depends, up to 10 to day and down to 3 per week. I realized that it has also to do with focus. Even in Jung´s theory of synchronity is focus the main element for brains to work properly. It is like before you buy an Ford Taurus you see none as you even did not know that existed but when you do and you occupy your thoughts with it, you will see it almost everywhere. that happened to me now when I bought my first car-but not Ford, and hell no a Taurus! I must agree with Jung that unconscious has to do with the timing and focus a lot.

*) For how many weeks, months, or years has this been happening in your life?
1year


*) Does it happen regularly (all the time, everyday), or does it "come in waves"?
all the time


*) When you see "33s," is it usually in association with some activity, or some thoughts you are having at the time, or does it "just happen"?
Sometimes I want to see it and it appears (sometimes!) but most of the time it just happen.

*) Does it surprise you? Every time? Sometimes? Never?
it suprises me.

*) Do you consider any or all "33s" significant, or only those encountered under some special circumstances? Please describe.
I try to find the connection (as in your previous question) between the number and the activity I am in- like some guide or lenghten of intuition, but it doesn´t work. I started to use it in my life. When I plan something I use no. 11 (as hell cannot be without heaven so it is 11x3) and 33.

*) With what, if anything, do you associate the number, "33"? Does it conjure up any particular ideas for you? Perhaps you can simply "free associate" about it, and write down any thoughts that come to mind about the number "33" or about your experiences.

no. (christ´s years are 33 and 33days (i think) he layed in cavern). It is not good for me this question. I can type all life to answer it. I can do it by e-mail if you would like to- but not now.

*) Do you think it means something and, if so, what do you think it means?
it was always there, just in this time with birocracy increasing and labels eveywhere the amount of numbers increased. There also very high chanse that too same numbers will appear one after another, but as I said is all in focusing.

*) If you think it means something, would you say that this meaning is special, or personal (for you alone), or that this same meaning might be shared by any or all others having similar experiences?
That is maybe the problem or maybe even the solution for the human kind. When we put greater belief in something that did not bother us in our life but then it came and we started to think about it, then we can even become like it. I am not suggesting that we will become numbers (as in same states or jobs or way of life some people already are)but we will become what it projects on us. And it will project what somebody that means a lot to us will say about it or what we think about it. The number as the object or projection will become mirror. For some it will represent the Christ. some of this group will speculate that the new Christ will be born (or is, as they say...), some will think that thay must turn to christianity (the soft, verging)ateists. So...it is up to you and your imagination. And that is good. It is always up to you.

*) Do you have any particular responses to such experiences (such as saying a small prayer, feeling excited or mystified, avoiding some locations or situations afterward, or writing down such accounts), or any other particular reactions to it?
I am accepting it. I feel like when I come up with something great-like some good, overhelming answers of big questions.

*) Do you think these experiences are trying to "tell you something"? If so, do you have an idea about what they are trying to tell you, or teach you, or cause you to do, or not to do?
I thought that it is trying to tell me that I must breakthrough some things in my life that are repeating too many times and too often-that are constraining me, unleash something in me.

*) How do others generally respond to your experiences, whether by hearing your reports, or by seeing them first hand when they are near you?
Yes, my best friend was shocked when he stayed in my house for a year and everytime when I saw the number I pointed it to him and this was always on the same places, one of them was when we went on bus the first car in the morning had the number 33 or 11 somewhere on the plate (ok, even 3333 or 1111 counted). He was perplexed, I think. But did not bother too much with it.

*) Do you think that this sort of experience could happen with any number, such as any two-digit number that could appear on clocks, license plates, etc. (such as: 11, 22, 44, or 55)? Does this happen with any other numbers, or just "33s"?
everynumber but most often 33 and 11 or 3333 and 1111.

*) Do you consider them "coincidences," or "synchronicities," or purely random events?
synchronicities... now I know how you spell it...

*) Do you think this sort of thing can be subjected to scientific analysis, or that it is more associated with something entirely non-scientific? Both, or neither?
both. We are an unexplored map of subconscious world thousands of years old and full of symbolism. I will be very very antropologic if I say that the man one of the manifestation of the univers in small package. But I say one of them and maybe not even closely perfect.

*) Regarding how you feel about it, do you think that "it is happening to me," "happening because of me "(your interest in it causes it to happen or happen more frequently), both, or neither?
It is never just you.

*) Do you think that if a person decided to begin to look for "33s" around them, that they would then have similar experiences as yours?
that would be a great experiment. Maybe on the net there are some articles were psychologists explored systematicly synchronicities.

*) What is your astrological sign (Western and/or Vedic)?
Aries, Vedic: Rewati(pisces)


*) Was the onset of your 33 experiences precipitated by any major life changes, such as the loss or gain of a relationship, job, etc.?
I should check that. This could be interseting-but I often found that what I am looking for...hehe.

*) Any additional comments or speculations?
great is that people bother with even slightest detail of life. Someday the internet will be so full of informations that maybe the subconscious map I was talking some lines up will become alive. maybe we are alreday beggining to build the greatset mind of all times on the earth. When the speed of the data exchange will rise up to that of our brain fotons and we change some protocols of internet working priperties we will be the fathers of a big big child. one earth-one brain. And then it will make body from other planets and it will explore the uinverse with us as the maintenace group of the brains.
Like I said the imagination has no limits. As the mirrors.

Not any other numbers but once I heard a lady call in a radio show and said she experienced the number 33 alot. I nearly fell over. And once a friend of mine, I told, told me she knew a lady that had the same experiences with 33 I did.


*) Do you know whether any of your family ancestors had any comparable experiences, which you may have learned about through family stories, diaries, etc.?

No


*) Do "33s" typically show up individually for you, or in groups of "33s"? Does this make any difference in any effect it may have on you?

Definitely in groups. That's why it seems meaningful. It's way beyond just chance.


*) How would you describe the effect such experiences have on you? They are frightening, they are comforting, mystifying, etc. Please describe in your own way.

Comforting and mystifying. Some episodes are so "out there" that to me, it can't mean anything else except some kinda mystical experience. I'm looking at it as a "sign" and I usually wouldn't be prone to that kinda thing.

*) How often, or how many "33s" might you encounter in a given day, week, or month?

Varies wildly but sometimes in moments of stress I've had uncanny number of episodes in a short trip to the corner store.


*) For how many weeks, months, or years has this been happening in your life?

About 8 years.


*) Does it happen regularly (all the time, everyday), or does it "come in waves"?

I'd say in waves but the waves come too often to be chance.


*) When you see "33s," is it usually in association with some activity, or some thoughts you are having at the time, or does it "just happen"?

It tends to come in times of uncertaincy about a major decision.


*) Does it surprise you? Every time? Sometimes? Never?

Always. More so as the circumstances prove to be far beyond chance.


*) Do you consider any or all "33s" significant, or only those encountered under some special circumstances? Please describe.

There's always times a 33 will pop up by chance so seeing a 33 is no be deal to me. But when I'm getting bombarded I freak.


*) With what, if anything, do you associate the number, "33"? Does it conjure up any particular ideas for you? Perhaps you can simply "free associate" about it, and write down any thoughts that come to mind about the number "33" or about your experiences.

I don't even know how it started. Just one day I started noticeing it comeing up at times beyond chance. At first I considered it my lucky number. Then I had periods when it got too freaky. Too many. Even though I consider myself to be rational and at least semi smart, I had no choice but to consider it as being some kind of sign. (to a certain degree)


*) Do you think it means something and, if so, what do you think it means?

Above


*) If you think it means something, would you say that this meaning is special, or personal (for you alone), or that this same meaning might be shared by any or all others having similar experiences?

Before the other day I thought it was personal but after finding this sight I'm blown away and am wondering about this being a group thing. I wonder if there is something we all have in common


*) Do you suspect that there are other people having a very similar experience? If so, do you think it is because you may have something else in common with them, or that there is some purpose or reason for it happening to those people, as well?

above


*) Do you have any particular responses to such experiences (such as saying a small prayer, feeling excited or mystified, avoiding some locations or situations afterward, or writing down such accounts), or any other particular reactions to it?

At first nothing but now I write them down in a journal and not so much pray as meditate to what ever is the source


*) Do you think these experiences are trying to "tell you something"? If so, do you have an idea about what they are trying to tell you, or teach you, or cause you to do, or not to do?

I'm beginning to think the experiences, sinse they come at times of a fork in the road, are helping me make the right decision. This doesn't mean I decide one way or another because I saw a 33, it's just I pay attention to the signs and they play into the situation equally with other factors.


*) How do others generally respond to your experiences, whether by hearing your reports, or by seeing them first hand when they are near you?

I've never really shared this to the degree it is with others.


*) How do you feel about others' reactions or opinions about your experience? Do they bother you? Are you unaffected, or in some way affected, by their reactions?

N/A


*) Do you think that this sort of experience could happen with any number, such as any two-digit number that could appear on clocks, license plates, etc. (such as: 11, 22, 44, or 55)? Does this happen with any other numbers, or just "33s"?

I don't know but I wonder if there are other websites like this for other numbers. I don't think so.


*) Do you consider them "coincidences," or "synchronicities," or purely random events?

Some random, most "clusters" synchronistic.


*) Do you think this sort of thing can be subjected to scientific analysis, or that it is more associated with something entirely non-scientific? Both, or neither?

Not sure. I would imagine that a mathmatician would say that you are only noticeing 33's because that is what you're looking for. BUT, perhaps if they saw this website with it's number of reports and the fact no other number has a website and group of people with reports, maybe a mathmatician would get interested enough to try. I think it would be impossible to study one person's experiences. He would have to take it as a whole. i.e. pole hundreds of people that report seeing a number they feel comes up beyond chance and then see what percentage say it's 33.


*) Regarding how you feel about it, do you think that "it is happening to me," "happening because of me "(your interest in it causes it to happen or happen more frequently), both, or neither?

Good question. Gotta think a while on that.


*) Do you think that if a person decided to begin to look for "33s" around them, that they would then have similar experiences as yours?

NO. The number 33 meant nothing to me until I started haveing these experiences. If this was chance why not another number? Why not 33's and 55's and sometimes 22's?


*) What is your astrological sign (Western and/or Vedic)?

Libra


*) Was the onset of your 33 experiences precipitated by any major life changes, such as the loss or gain of a relationship, job, etc.?

WOW Yes. Mine started with a horrible experience in a relationship break up. Now it seems to reappear dureing emotional stress. Whether that is job, relationship, health etc...

Comments: *) Do you know any others, either friends or family members, who have a
similar experience with this, or any other number or set of numbers?

Yes. My husband has been following 23 since I meet him. We meet in high school, but officially starting dating when i was 23. My friend Ty has also started seeing 33. He's 33 this year.


*) Do you know whether any of your family ancestors had any comparable experiences, which you may have learned about through family stories, diaries, etc.?

My mom thinks that God and her grandmother helped her find a Greek Icon that she lost once. My mom is totally tapped into that stuff. Not 33 as much as I tho.


*) Do "33s" typically show up individually for you, or in groups of "33s"?
Does this make any difference in any effect it may have on you?

Both. I have not noticed a difference between the two manifestations.


*) How would you describe the effect such experiences have on you? They are
frightening, they are comforting, mystifying, etc. Please describe in your
own way.

At first they were curious. Then frightening. Now I am embracing it and it is a sign of love.


*) How often, or how many "33s" might you encounter in a given day, week, or month?

several a day.


*) For how many weeks, months, or years has this been happening in your life?

Since before I was born.


*) Does it happen regularly (all the time, everyday), or does it "come in waves"?

Comes in waves.


*) When you see "33s," is it usually in association with some activity, or some thoughts you are having at the time, or does it "just happen"?

Sometimes it just happens. Sometimes I see them after I ask the universe a questions.


*) Does it surprise you? Every time? Sometimes? Never?

It surprises me sometimes.


*) Do you consider * any or all* "33s" significant, or only those encountered under some special circumstances? Please describe.

Some are more significant than others. i apply the meaning to make them more significant. I am not sure why.


*) With what, if anything, do you associate the number, "33"? Does it conjure up any particular ideas for you? Perhaps you can simply "free associate" about it, and write down any thoughts that come to mind about the number "33" or about your experiences.

I feel like it is the Universe telling me I'm on the right path.


*) Do you think it *means something * and, if so, what do you think it means?

See above answer.


*) If you think it means something, would you say that this meaning is special, or personal (for you alone), or that this same meaning might be shared by any or all others having similar experiences?

Again, I will refer to my above statement, and yes, I share this experience with others.


*) Do you suspect that there are other people having a very similar experience? If so, do you think it is because you may have something else in common with them, or that there is some purpose or reason for it happening to those people, as well?

Yes, all of us that are having this experience are deeply connected and are doing something special. I am not sure what, but something is going on.


*) Do you have any particular responses to such experiences (such as saying a small prayer, feeling excited or mystified, avoiding some locations or situations afterward, or writing down such accounts), or any other particular reactions to it?

I just observe. I remember it. I reflect, either when it happens, or the next time i feel comfortable to think about it.


*) Do you think these experiences are trying to "tell you something"? If so, do you have an idea about what they are trying to tell you, or teach you, or cause you to do, or not to do?

I already answered this one in a way. The universe is definitely trying to tell me something.


*) How do others generally respond to your experiences, whether by hearing your reports, or by seeing them first hand when they are near you?

Some think it's interesting. Only other ppl that have similar experiences really understand tho.


*) How do you feel about others' reactions or opinions about your experience? Do they bother you? Are you unaffected, or in some way affected, by their reactions?

I am relatively unaffected by other ppl reacitons.



*) Do you think that this sort of experience could happen with *any number,*such as any two-digit number that could appear on clocks, license plates,
etc. (such as: 11, 22, 44, or 55)? Does this happen with any other numbers, or just "33s"?

all numbers are possible for this sort of experience. They all have different meanings. 23 doesn't do much for me. 33 is HUGE.


*) Do you consider them "coincidences," or "synchronicities," or purely random events?

All of the above.


*) Do you think this sort of thing can be subjected to scientific analysis, or that it is more associated with something entirely non-scientific? Both, or neither?

Both. "Everything is everything. What is meant to be, will be." -Lauren Hill


*) Regarding how you feel about it, do you think that "it is *happening to me*," "happening *because of me * "(your interest in it causes it to happen or happen more frequently), both, or neither?

What came first? The chicken or the egg? Good question.


*) Do you think that if a person decided to begin to look for "33s" around them, that they would then have similar experiences as yours?

No, we all experience it differently and will all do different things with the information. But of course, seek and ye shall find.


*) What is your astrological sign (Western and/or Vedic)?

Virgo Sun
Pisces Moon
Capricorn Rising


*) Was the onset of your 33 experiences precipitated by any major life changes, such as the loss or gain of a relationship, job, etc.?

Not really. But the more that I started to really delve into my emotional side, like going to therapy and stuff, I started simultaneously researching conspiracy theories. That is where I first SAW the 33 connection as being SOMETHING. I noticed that there were 33 degrees in Masonry and that the UN logo was divided up into 33 sections and I was like, hmmmmmmmmm...that is interesting. Like I said before, this started before I was born. My mom had an experience involving 3's when she conceived me, before she knew she was pregnant.



*) Any additional comments or speculations?

Keep up the good work Adam. We all need to connect about this as much as possible. You think there might be a convention some day where we could all meet face to face?
