Twenty-Two
22 is an interesting number and age. For many students it represents graduation from university where one has to grow up in a world that says;
-
"Take your time. You'll probably live to 100 so why rush."
"Nothing makes sense so have fun and party."
"I've saw a therapist but stopped going. I knew more than him."
"When someone pisses me off, I tell them they have ADHD or Aspergers."
"Social media has good and bad influences but it's part of my life."
"Our generation will be different than the past ... it will be better."
"I won't work unless I am passionate about what I do and the job makes a difference." "I want to make a difference".

In numerology, 22 is often called the Master Builder or Spiritual Master in Form. This 'master number' includes all the attributes of the number 2, twice over, and also those of the 4. People who are 22s are said to find themselves feeling as if they live in two worlds, one which is overwhelmed by the mundane, and the other by the fantastic. In the divinatory Tarot, there are 22 major arcana cards. These cards are numbered 0-21, so it is a matter of interpretation whether The Fool or The World is card number 22. The latter card is almost always associated with hard workers, a red-gold color, and a rose-gold gemstone. Interestingly, the digital root of the 22 is the 4, which is the number of hard work.
Twenty-two is a higher octave of four. It contains the secrets to many esoteric questions, as evidenced by the fact that there are twenty two letters in the Hebrew alphabet, twenty two pathways in many versions of the Kabbalah, and twenty two cards in the Major Arcana. Twenty two carries with it psychic gifts such as heightened sensitivity, intuition and psychic awareness, but is also predisposed to pitfalls such as treachery from hidden enemies and over sensitivity.
22 represents practical idealism - practical genius, creator of the future, power on all levels, master of the material, philanthropy, universality, international direction, and service to mankind.
