Humanity is perturbed by the constraints inherent to our nature. Thus, we find ourselves striving to transcend it. Most assert that pursuing good, shunning evil, and constraining the ego act as key to enlightenment and transcendence. However, if isolated to our own efforts, the source of enlightenment becomes oneself. Can a candle bring flame to its wick by itself? Such striving evokes the image of hands grasping at the stars in vain. Perhaps the macrocosm itself was designed beyond human reach intentionally that we might fathom our ineptitude. The answer to my own grasping for the stars isn’t how far my hands reach but rather it has been that of a hand reaching down, the heavenly becoming earthly so that the earthly might become heavenly. Our vessels are designed for spirit and our say in this life is what wind we capture in our sails. It is this wind that dictates our course. Revelation 13 depicts the number 666 as “the number of a man.” In Hebrew number 6 connotes flesh, or physical creation with mankind as apex. Surely there is no irony that 6 was pictographically depicted as a nail. The number 3 connotes completion thus 6 occurring 3 times signifies the fullness of man’s efforts and capability.
