The multiverse is ordered, an intelligent design of chaotic calculations; infinite diversities in infinite combinations. The Number of the Beast 616 is an exalted calculations of the Sun and solar mythos-archetypes. 616 is the Arcane Archetype of the solar-phallic-hermetic Lucifer, the Black Seraph of G.O.D., Ancient Horned-Serpent , Morning Star, He who bade "Know Thyself!" and taught Initiation, the Great One of the Night of Time whom begets men and demons, but who, rebelled against Jehovah and loved Lilith the Queen of Hell, and was banished from the Empyrean Throne to the abominable lands of Nod, and with him a third of the Angels of the Kingdom of Heaven. This archetypal solar-Adversary diffuses in cross-cultural myths; the myth of the expelled Empyrean Opposer to the Creator throne. The seal of Occult antinomian initiation is the Number of this primordial Beast, a hieroglyph of annulling the difference between flesh and the spiritual, physical and meta-physical. In the dark Arte and Sciences of magic, the number 666 is consecrated to a Eucharist of the Sun, a calculation of Qabalisitc initiation into the Sefira of Tifaret. Last of the Mystic Numbers of the Sun, 616 unveils to Potentates the solar Mysteries of magic, mysticism, and Religion in Qabalistic portals of wisdom disfigured by the persecutions and revisionists history of pagan cultures.
The Qabalah can further elucidate upon us the Mysteries of the calculation of the Beast 666. The arcane number 666 is symbolized by the Hebrew letter Shin, which characteristically consists of three Hebrew Vavs, so that its essential magickal nature is 666. The Hebrew letter Shin is the 31st Path entitled the "Perpetual Intelligence" on the Tree of Life, linking Hod with Malkut; it implies the Holy Angel descending in tongues of flame. 666 is the arcane and mystick sum of the Qabalistic Veiled black spheres of Initiation. The mystic calculation of the Beast Qabalistically translates to Vav (6), Mem (600), and Samekh (60). The Tarot Atu of Thoth embodied with these Hebrew letters are Atu V the Hierophant, Atu XII the Hanged Man, and Atu XIV Art. The initiate will unveil in working with the Sacred Qabalah innumerable ways to unearth the unexpressed solar-phallic archetypes of the Ancient Mysteries of the Abominable Number.
Since the dawn of the human spiritual epoch, the Mysteries of the Number of the Beast have captured the futile and obsessive imagination of Christian eschatology. The false waning religious institution of Christianity was born of eschatological hope and expectation, promulgating the Great Lie of Sin. The Book of the Apocalypse correlates the Mystick Number 616 with the identity of the Antichrist, supplying fundamentalist hordes of apocalyptic zeal with an all-obsessive clue to the identity of the awaited "Beast." Secular debates rage at present to the identity of the scribe of the Apocalypse. In about e.v. 135, Justin Martyr concluded that the Book of the Apocalypse was scribed by one, "John", one of the original mythic Apostles of the Christ. The theological scholar Irenaeus decided the Book of Revelations to have been scribed by John, son of Zebedee, whom he also alleged wrote the fabled Gospel of John. The literary style or theological terms employed in the Book of the Apocalypse fail to link any connection with any earlier mythic scribe of the profane Gospels. The Greek term apokalypsis means an unveiling, an uncovering, a revealing of what is normally concealed. As applied to the Book of Revelations, and the Number of the Beast 616, it means the unveiling of a dimension of human history that is ordinarily closed to the worldly view. Concerning the revelation of number of the Beast, the Book of the Apocalypse states: "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man may buy or sell, save he had that mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast; for it is the number of a man, and his number is Six-hundred and sixty-six." (The Apocalypse XIII; 16-18)
For nearly two thousand years, this Mystick Number 616 has been the prophetic obsession of an unending breed of paranoid hordes of persecuting Christian fundamentalists and soothsayers of the Advent of Antichrist and his hieroglyphic number. The false religion of Christianity intertwines the identity of the Antichrist with that of a mythic figure of Satan, a human incarnation of ultimate evil, a malicious devil invented by priests of the obsolete church adoring a vulgar image of Baphomet consecrated to insidious forces of ruin and desolation. The Abominable Number of the Beast 616 has been assigned unto various historical personages and archetypes, often with the most deplorable paranoia and misperception. 616 originally was thought in history to be associated with the Roman Emperor Nero, translated into Greek as Neron Kaiser (Nero Caesar). The numerical value of this title in Hebrew (NRVN KSR) adds up to six-hundred and sixteen, and as alleged Roman persecutor of the early Christians, this fitted convenience with history. The Mystick and eminent Number of the Sun transcends the vicissitudes of time and religious tribulation, assigned to such personages as American Presidents, scholars and statesmen, religious figureheads, and is even unveiled by obsessive Christian hordes to be in such places as the U.S. One dollar bill, pervading the ascension of information technology. The number of the Beast, be it 616, or the more infamous 666, has even been employed in the fanatical identification of the historical Antichrist with the Vatican Papacy, revealed by the profane masses as the sum numerical value of the official title of the Roman Catholic Pope - Vicarivs Filii Dei.
The Exalted Number of the Sun, also is the arcane calculations of the occult Hexagram, the hieroglyph of the Sun, a sigil of the Ægyptian Seraphic mysteries, as a single line of a Hexagram essentially constitutes three interdependent parts, each of which may be symbolized by the numeral 1, thus every line in the Hexagram signifies characteristically the occult number 111. In the Hexagram is contained six lines so esoterically, we arrive at the Mystick 666 via 111 x 6. Upon the Hexagram each angle measures to 60 degrees, as 360 is the sum of six angles of 60 degrees upon the occult Hexagram (60 degrees x 6 = 360). Sixty is the value of the Hebrew letter Samekh, which correlates to the Infernal Fallen Angel (called by Aleister Crowley the "Holy Guardian Angel") in the Magick of Thelema, or the solar-phallic force of the Sun. The number 360 is the sum value of the Hebrew letter Shin spelt in full. Shin embodies the Sun and its mythos, it is the archetype of Resurrection hidden in Death. Concerning the Sun and its Dominion of Life, the Occult nature of 666 relates to the procession of the Zodiac. The Zodiac is divided into twelve signs, or Houses, each thirty degrees with sixty minutes constituting the cyclic time of each degree. Again is seen the solar interplay of the Sun's sojourn throughout the heavens, the Resounding Tides of Life - wherein the Qabalistic nature is 666, as the 12 Houses of the Zodiac x 30 degrees again is the sum 360, the value of the Hebrew letter Shin in full. A length of sixty minutes in each degree again arrives upon the value of the Hebrew letter Samekh (60).
The Infernal Number of the Sun 616 is the Number of Man, it is His Unholy Talisman. Man is the Beast. In the Magic of the O.A.I., the calculation of the Number is the secret of Nature itself, the Secret of the generation of Angels and Worlds, that is the Chaotic omnipotence of intelligent design, of the artistic symmetry of G.O.D. The Qabalistic Number of the Sun also is equivalent to the sum of OMMV SThN (Ommo Satan) the esoteric Sabbatic triad of Typhon-Apophis-Besz; also SVRTh, the Spirit of the Sun and the Qabalistic value of ShMSh IHVH, the all-pervading Sun of Tetragrammaton. The Last of the arcane Numbers of the Sun is bonded unto the mystical nature of ShM IHShVH, the name of the mythic Christ-Jesus as solar logos. Thus, the Occult nature of the Number of the Beast, 616, refers the Initiate to incalculable and arcane Mysteries of the Christ, its earthly emissaries, esoteric noumenon and involution of solar-spiritual consciousness. Enlightenment in the solar mythos predates human writings, initiated by faith and worship of the stars, moon, planets, the earth, and Sun. The Holy Number of Man the Beast is Sol Invictvs, the "Unconquered Sun", a source of creative solar-phallic Illumination, the primal isolation of Life in the Macrocosm, and inner passion. The obsessive identifying of the infinite calculation of 616 with insidious images of Lucifer as ultimate evil incarnate in Man, a malicious devil adoring precious idols of pagan solar and fertility gods consecrated unto vile and profane forces of ruin and desolation, has, in short, been the rallying cry for Christian crusades of hatred.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, the Arcane incalculable Number of the Beast 616 has no place in the commercial hordes of religious fundamentalism, and the lies of historical revisionism, nor is the Unholy Number found in subservient behavior developed from a failed philosophy of inner guilt and repression, which is guessed at under the obscurities that cover the pretended crimes of Mankind against the Creator, under G.O.D. The Qabalah and its Arte of chaotic calculations, the Number of the Beast included, is a science of the Ancient Magi: and the Christian religion, which has imposed silence on the lying oracles and put an end to the prestiges of the false Gods, itself reversing those Magi who came from the East, guided by a Star. The Qabalistic calculations of solar mythos, of the Bridegroom, Man, is a hieroglyph of arcane perfection, psychological equilibrium, and Initiation. The number of the Beast is an inestimable hieroglyph of the ithyphallus and a orgiastic Eucharist of the Knowledge and Conversation of our Infernal Fallen Angel. The infinite calculation of the Number of MAN, leads the initiate as an intermediary between flesh and spirit, in the shadows of which we partake of the Sacrament of lightbringers. It envelops our minds in the infinite sea of chaotic calculations and intelligent design. It is shadowed in imperfection, revealed in the ancient impetus behind the worship of the Sun.
