Humanity is perturbed by the constraints inherent to our nature. Thus, we find ourselves striving to transcend it. Most would assert that pursuing good, shunning evil, and ending self or mastering discipline are paramount to attaining enlightenment and ultimately transcendence. Let us ponder. If isolated to our own efforts, the source of enlightenment becomes oneself. Can a candle bring flame to its wick by itself? Such efforts evoke the image of hands grasping at the stars in vain. Ponder with me that the macrocosm was designed intentionally beyond human reach in order that we may fathom our ineptitudes. I have personally found that the answer to my hands grasping at the stars isn’t how far they might reach but instead a hand reaching down. “The heavenly becoming earthly so that the earthly might become heavenly.” Our bodies are vessels designed for spirit. Our say in this life is what we choose to fill those vessels with. 666 though synonymous with the devil is actually referred to as “the number of a man” in Revelation 13. The cultural inference would be that of the Hebrew language in which 6 connotes flesh, or mankind, and ironically enough is depicted symbolically with a nail. When something occurs 3 times it signals completion.
