A diagram, that's all it was, a chart laid out in such a way as to describe the nature and significance of certain numbers in relation to geometric shapes and concepts.

4, the number of Matter,plants symbolized with a cross
5, the number of natural forces, Satan, animals, symbolized with a pentagram
6, the number of Body, material man, symbolized by the Star of David

The connection between the Judeo-Christian belief and the number 6 was instantly recognizeable in everything around me. Man, so the story goes, reaps what he sows, and so the destitute must not be sowing much good. God rewards those who suffer for him. So, hey...ummm where are YOUR rewards...huh?!

The Truth of the Truth lies in the words, not in the common interpretation of them; suffering for God, not for men and their institutions. Sow spiritual seeds in your own heart and reap spiritual rewards within. The material rewards become apparent when we ALL start sowing spiritual seeds within ourselves instead of dictating spiritual practice without.

No, the interpretation that Western society and it's religious roots have offered us leads straight back to the number 6. Virgo, Saturn, Material Man, Saturday(Sabbat.) 6 is a practical, perceptive, hard-working nature with an eye to reputation and material security. Material gifts serve as very real tokens of affection between the six-afflicted, earthy people I refer to. "You bought me a house; you didn't just talk about how much you love me, you did something about it." Very sixy.

Six is about service to others, responsibility, reputation, medical remedies and politics. (Sounds like a morning at church fellowship, discussing all of the above, including the medical remedies.)

Judeo-Christian INTERPRETATION of divinely-inspired teachings have innundated the fabric of our society with this heavy, earthy, materialist work ethic that has become so ingrained that for one to even suggest that spending 8 hours away from home to earn a living is ridiculous, runs them at risk of being labelled a lazy freeloader.
(Unless of course you ask the successful business owners. They'd just ask you to pipe down a bit and not blow a perfectly good thing by pointing out how they make 20 to 1000 times what the working stiffs make for about half of the hours invested.)

But since service and sacrifice to society are how we serve the purpose that the early religious elite molded our cultures to, we slave away for those precious paper coupons because you've GOT to be practical and God only knows you're suffering, just not enough. So smile and suck it up, because your reward will be waiting for you in heaven and the couple at table six looks like they could use some help.

You get those dollars and pound notes and marks and pesos and run out to spend the paper that you got in return for your time to get things, tokens if you will, to make up for the time you didn't spend with the ones that you swore you did it all for. Very, very sixy.

Of course it's not enough that we play God at home, while politicians, priests and businessmen play God with our lives. We play God in the laboratories and the operating rooms too, while televisions in the waiting rooms outside blare the latest advertisement for over-the-counter cold remedies. Even THAT is not enough for our TOO six society. No...our god...must BE a man. So we nailed one to a cross and hung it on the wall to remind us who society's god is during the reign of Material Man. It'll be our cost of sin paid in flesh and blood, like years of slavery and wandering through the desert and we'll all be saved.

Then I looked at the cross and added a little Cancer into the mix (4th sign of the Zodiac) and found there our security mania and our Christian founded nation, born on the fourth of July. America screamed "Give me a society where everyone is always safe and we all lock our doors at night. Give me cameras, security cameras and lots of them." Still, we nuture and spoil and care and are loyal to a fault sometimes. So very earthy though; water's like that, Mama too. So sixy in her own way I suppose, like the cross plus the Star of David makes 4 + 6 = 10 and that's the reign of Material Man, reputation, Capricorn and Saturn once again.

See the Judeo-Christian reign is the reign of man's religion, not God's.

God's religion is in your heart, behind the stars that fill your head when you sneeze or close your eyes at night. God's religion speaks to you, and you'll know it when it does because you'll think you've lost your mind,(along with everyone else who thinks you're insane.) You'll feel the pieces of reality start to break off and fall away and you'll be as afraid as you are amazed, and you'll be quite amazed.

Up to that day keep on being the you that you are. Be SELF-RELIANT, needing only God and love within your heart and you're on the Path. Clear your head , stop your thoughts the best you can and hear your heart. There's a message in the tempo just for you..it's all in you.

I'm Colorado bound.

love

The cross doesn't means matter. The cross means God on Earth.The vertical line is God that comes like a thunderbolt into the Earth.

The pentagram is not Satan. The inverted pentagram is just a symbol for Satan,But the normal Pentagram is a Holy and Powerful thing that lies inside you. It's indeed many things but never Satan.

The Star of David is God seeking man and man seeking God. Not only man.

And Number 6, it's the number of love.

What is true is that we must not believe in religions and need and want God only.

The bases of the Christian and Judaic religions are the same as Buddhism, Hinduism etc. Those bases are very important. We must follow them, because they resume in "BE ONE WITH GOD"

The CROSS respresents the cross formed by the Earth's movement through the solar system. It's cross points are the vernal equinox and the winter solstice. (Easter and Christmas.) It is a left over of the roots of modern Pauline Christianity which lie in Mithraism.

Of course, by all means, believe what you will, for that is what you were meant to believe at this point in time.

MK, there is more. I've found the roots of the fasts of Passover, Channukah, Savuot and Lent among others. They're hidden in the divine tetractys. That'll have to wait until I get back though...

love,
