the demons of the subconscious mind. Indras weapon, the Vajra, is a thunderbolt.

In symbolism, lightning represents the connection between the physical realm and the spiritual realm. In other words, man’s ability to connect with – or communicate – with your higher conscious mind

Let’s look at that concept in another ancient myth.
The Symbolic Meaning of 33 in Christianity.
The number 33 appears at significant moments in the Bible. For example, the 33rd time Noah’s name is mentioned in the Bible is when God promises him salvation. Genesis 9: 8-17:

I am going to make a solemn promise to you and to everyone who will live after you. This includes the birds and the animals that came out of the boat. I promise every living creature that the earth and those living on it will never again be destroyed by a flood.”

The rainbow that I have put in the sky will be my sign to you and to every living creature on earth. It will remind you that I will keep this promise forever. When I send clouds over the earth, and a rainbow appears in the sky, I will remember my promise to you and to all other

living creatures. Never again will I let floodwaters destroy all life. When I see the rainbow in the sky, I will always remember the promise that I have made to every living creature. The rainbow will be the sign of that solemn promise.”
The rainbow represents the seven chakras.

Remember, the seven jewels in the 33 Heavens of Trayastrimsha. Do you notice the similarities between the Buddhist Śakra and the promise of God in the Bible? Indra, the god of thunderstorms, is also found pictured with a rainbow in the background.
