The idea that the 33 years of Jesus' life correspond to the 33 vertebrae in the human spine is not based on any historical or religious evidence. Instead, it seems to have emerged in various esoteric and mystical traditions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Here are some sources that provide more information about the origins and development of this teaching:
"Theosophy and the Spine" by Joy Mills (Theosophical Society in America) - This article explores the Theosophical Society's beliefs about the spiritual significance of the spine and its relationship to consciousness and spiritual awakening.
