666

[ÐÑÇämþër]

My girlfriend asked me the other day what the significance of the number 666 was.

I replied to her that in the christian religion that 666 was referred to as the number of the beast and is subsequently referred to as the devil.

I got to thinking about this number of the beast statement.

In Gnostic text "On the Origin of the World"... "the interpretation of 'the beast' is 'the instructor'. For it was found to be the wisest of all beings."

One may say that the beast could be referred to as the children of Eve.

"...the female instructor of life. Her offspring is the creature that is lord. Afterwards, the authorities called it 'Beast', so that it might lead astray their modelled creatures."

The Ghostics were silenced by the more prominent church, it could be that the idea of the devil was used to stigmatize their ideas

I don't really think that the Gnostics have ever been silenced. I think the Gnostic influence in our society is very prevalent and precise.

Those who are conscious can see it.

I'm stupid. Where in the bible does it talk about 666?

[ÐÑÇämþër]

It starts about Revelation 13

[Treath]

Meh, it's just a 3 digit number to me. Same as 777. They are all symbols in society.

It starts about Revelation 13

Right, most things start somewhere. I'd like to know precisely where it mentions 666. I'm losing some sleep over this.

It's a calculation of "scores," and not the number itself. Just scan the book.

666 is a yang solar number, the opposite of 1080 which is yin.
According to Germatria 666 + 1080 = 1746, which is the numerical form for "a grain of mustard seed" in the bible.
1746 is a fusion number uniting the two natural opposites.
1746 is also "the Spirit of the World".
According to alchemy 1080 is mercury, receptive female and 666 is sulfer, power male. The first is animated by the second. This results in the animated Mercurius, fertility-bearer, revealer of knowledge and guide between life and death.
666 is Teitan, a solar entity, and represents an eternal, natural principle, without any moral categories. It was associated with evil by the early Christians who founded their religion on the Holy Ghost, who is 1080. 1080 is composed of Jesus, 888 + Mary, 192 = 1080.
Glastonbury Abby used the number 666 in its construction and was destroyed by the Puritans.
