I would not peg you as a religious poster, so I’m guessing this is not about Jesus. Maybe more on the math side of 33 being the largest positive integer that can’t be expressed as a sum of different triangular numbers, or that it’s a unique semi-prime (3 and 11)? There is also a possibility that you have an unusual interest in poisons, possibly toxicophilia and you like 33 because it is the atomic number of arsenic? Maybe you are a Freemason Enthusiasts and posting about the highest level of enlightenment? —Are any of my guesses close lol, what’s the story behind your 33? Did you turn 33? If so happy birthday.

It almost became the number of time: "the adoption of the mathematically simplest, and most Christian, implementation of the 33-year cycle would logically specify the existence of a meridian or narrow band of longitudes within which, and only within which, the Nicene edict could stay correct. This would probably have come to be seen as God's chosen meridian by all Churches that recognised the Nicene council." https://www.hermetic.ch/cal_stud/gods_longitude.htm

It’s crazy how a seemingly simple mathematical choice could establish such a profound symbolic and practical anchor. Do you think this would have shaped the geographic spread of Christianity or even influenced how different regions perceived their place relative to this meridian?

Absolutely. John Dee was the person that invented the term "British Empire". He was not only the greatest mathematician of his day, he was the greatest linguist and the greatest scienitest and alchemist. His theories, especially on conic sections, optics and geometry were centuries ahead of his time. He co-founded Trinity College Cambridge, where Newton was professor. He had the biggest library in europe, and the influenced the wizard archetype. It's possible he advised Queen Elizabeth to purchase New Amsterdam from the dutch and make it New York. With that line being the stable equinox. 8 leap years in 33 is vastly more accurate than what we have today. Humans will often celebrate annivesaries on the wrong day and not notice. But crabs would notice. His work the Monas is one of the most powerful books written. He also unified religoin and science with his work on communicating with the angels, Enochian. He did change alot, and people like him come around every few centuries. He was kind of the Satoshi of his day.
