666 is “a human number, the number of a man”, for many reasons.

A 🧵

6 is the number of man. Man was created on the sixth day. 6 is the number of days you shall work, then comes the rest, the pause, the “hole” in the schedule. The holy day is for the holes.

666 represents the completion of work, the conclusion of man’s efforts, on his own. We see this numerically:

1 is, obviously, symbolic of unity (monotheism)
2 of duality (as in Taoist like religion)
3 of multiplicity (Trinity, polytheism)

All of these together 1+2+3 = 6

6 isn’t “bad” per se, it’s only bad because you stop and don’t go on to 7

6x6 = 36

And 36! = 666

666 is like symbolically 6 on steroids, it’s “the fullness of man, without God”

We also see that king Solomon, in the Old Testament, gets 666 talents of gold from the foreign queen, the foreign, unaccounted for harlot.

6, as stated, the fullness of work, without rest. A trying to “account” for everything, to leave nothing on the margins, nothing to chance.

Hence we see the phone that logs everything emblazoned with the bitten apple. Everything will be accounted for. EVERYTHING. A totalizing tyranny. Of course, this cannot be achieved because the rest, the holy, the unaccounted for, is required for the cosmos to work.

As a piece of music loses coherence without the rests between the notes, so does life when there are no gaps. Hence Israelite religion emphasized incompleteness.

Do not harvest the edges of your field
Do not finish the tassels on your cloak
Do not sew up the ends of the fabric.

The message is always there: Leave a margin. Don’t close the circuit.

The System of the Beast will attempt to account for everything and cast out all which refuse to be accounted for. This is why all must be marked, logged , registered, tracked.

Hell is an accounting agency.

A Circle has a circumference if 2pi r.

2pi = 6.28...

So a Circle, the symbol of completion and wholeness , is completed ... almost, with 6 radians. But there’s about extra. A bit unaccounted for. A little bit *irrational* (numerically/logically) left out.

This must be so.

666, the Beast, tries to close the circle without that remainder, it wants to square the circle, which is impossible, for the uncertainty stands as an affront to Reason, Science, Work, and Man.

But the uncertainty is the realm of God.

The Hole is where the Holy Day goes, the rest, the pause, the “let it run and see what happens”. That’s faith see.
