Electricity; The Fire of Heaven: The Golden Link Between Science and Religion

     In my extensive collations and investigations of a wide range of information on the relation of certain ideas across various cultures and in different time periods I have found a singularly most important common thread running through each, albeit variously distorted depending on such varying circumstances. This thread has also been woven heavily throughout the recent blogs of the past year centering on the formula of 666, the Solar number of forbidden wisdom mentioned in Revelation 13:18. This number also features heavily in the Qabalistic calculations of the Western Hermetic Tradition, and the more I apply this general body of knowledge to that of the more ancient Eastern ones as well as the modern scientific knowledges of today the more I am coming to find there is much still to be gained through an integral and holistic approach to each of these avenues of potential unfoldment.

     That 666 is a numerical value, formula, or symbol for the Electric current in its raw form - if not evident from past expositions - can be explicated as follows:
     666 is the value of the SUM of the letters of the word 'ELECTRIC', using Heh=5, Lamed=30, Heh=5, Cheth=8, Tau=400, Resh=200, Yod=10, Cheth=8. 666 has long been known to be a 'solar' number, being as it is the value of SVRTh, Sorath, the Spirit of the Sun, as well as the value of the sum of the numbers in the Magick Square of Sol. 6 is the number of spatial rays emanating from the central point of locus forming the cube of the Ruach, and in its Grand Scale represents the condensation of the Ruach ('Breath') into manifestation, symbolized by Blood or Earth (Malkuth), therefore it is the central interface between the Potential and the Actual - i.e. where Force first starts becoming Form, under Will. 666 is also THE ELECTRICITY FORMULA as well, and relating back to the Forbidden Wisdom of Genesis/Revelation, THE ELECTRICITY IS THE FALL OF MALKUTH = 666 showing that the fallen light of Lucifer is a mythological form of the formative aspect of electrical energy. Note also that ELECTRIC = LUCIFER = THE ANGEL OF THE LIGHT = 260, the number of Baratchial, the qliphothic tunnel of Beth/The Magus card. In Nightside of Eden, Kenneth Grant notes some important relations of the number 260:

    260 is the sum of the series 1-(8x8)/8, 8 being the number of Mercury as a cosmic power-zone. 260 is the number of TIRIAL, the Intelligence of Mercury, so we shall expect to find a very precise reflection and inversion of this entity in the depths of the abyss where the path becomes a tunnel transmitting infernal influences. And this is where we do in fact find, for 260 is also the number of TMIRA, the 'concealed', or 'hidden', and of KMR, 'a priest', not of the Light but of the Dark, for KMR means 'blackness', its root being the the Egyptian Kam, 'black'. Yet although the 12th path is that of the Magician or Magus, the black or hidden priest should not be identified with the black magician, but with the Black Brother. This is the kala of the Sorcerers, the MONNIM (also equal to 260) who transmit the light direct from beyond Kether to Saturn via the formula of duality. (The letter beth which is ascribed to the 12th kala, is synonymous with our word both, implying duality.) Duality is expressed zoomorphically by the twin serpents Od and Ob, and by the ape - the shadowof the Magus who, according to tradition, distorts and perverts the Word of the Magus thus making a mockery of his work, as do the Black Brothers with their formula of duality. (i.e. Illusion. It is the 1 reflected that becomes 2. Likewise 11, eleven, is the number of those 'who are of us'.) This is evidenced by the symbols of Baratchial: two swords with inturned blades, suggesting intense concentration on the ego as opposed to the Self of All, flanking a ghostly face (mask) surmounted by a crescent moon. The sigil is a glyph of falsity and illusion reflected in the current of duality that reveals the Shadow of Thoth in the image of his ape or cynocephalus. This doctrine is expressed in the second verse of CCXXXI: "The lightnings increased and the Lord Tahuti (i.e. Thoth) stood forth. The Voice came from the Silence. Then the One ran and returned."     
    The One is Kether, and it returned to its own power-zone because the vibration of this kala is illusory and cannot transmit truth. Its vibration duplicates that of the previous kala, thus creating a mere simulacrum of the creative spirit. The Black Brother is double tongued, as the serpent, which is significant, for the magical power ascribed to the obverse aspect of of which this path is the tunnel, is the Gift of Tongues, the Gift of Healing, and a Knowledge of the Sciences. The healing here however is the healing of the ego, which merely aggravates with illusion the disease of false identity creating thereby a chain of endless suffering. Likewise, the Sciences of which knowledge is given are the sciences of darkness. Yet it mus not be supposed that these are necessarily evil, it is merely that in the hands of a Black Brother they necessarily tend to sterility because directed towards the fulfillment of wholly personal ambitions. The dark sciences of this path contain the secrets of the kalas of the void, and of that Kalinian Current which obtains in the widdershins world of anti-light. The witches and wizards of this tunnel speak with 'voices' that are reflected ino the aura of the Adept by the mechanism of unnatural acoustics associated with the mysterious ventriloquism of Bath Kol, the Voice of the Oracle. The bath or beth is the house or womb of the supreme kala, and of the source of that ventriloquism that was primal in the myths of man, for the word was endowed with flesh and issued from the belly of the mother. Here again the number of Baratchial, 260, corroborates the doctrine of this path of beth for it is the number of MINMON 'pleasures', 'delights', and of IRKIK, 'thy thighs', which reveals the sexual nature of these pleasures. The disease typical of this path is Ataxaphasia which here refers specifically to disorders of the faculty of speech, typified by the bestial howlings or cachinnations of the pre-human creation and by that 'monstrous speech' (mentioned in Liber VII) that thrills beyond the veil of the void. The dangers attendant upon the use of this kala are extreme, yet the advantages that may be gained would seem to outweigh them in that the Adept is able to transcend the merely conceptual transmission of imagery. He is thus able to manoeuvre specific atavisms at a level deeper than those he could penetrate as a Magus. This is because the silence of the outer spaces, like the music of the spheres, may be apprehended only when the ape-like chattering of the Magician's vehicle (his senses) has been subdued by contact with the transcosmic forces that sweep through this tunnel from the pathways of the Great Inane. The latter is the Ain, or Void, the unwinking eye which emits invisible rays that reify within the innermost sanctuaries of the Adept's non-being. He then becomes The Magus of Power (The title of the tarot trump equated with the obverse path.) in a true and totally different sense to that which this power has been understood in any previous aeon. For that power (shakti) is primal and does not exist apart from the shadow, the solidification of which is the entified Magus whose Word is but falsehood and glamour. This particular kala shows clearly how the face of the Tree is - and can only be - a facade. This is so because a reified and therefore dualistic interpretation of the hidden currents of energy, that pulse through the tunnels on the other side of the Tree, transmit energies of Non-being. It is in this sense that the 'One ran and returned'. To where did it return? The manifested Word returned to the silence of non-manifestation.

     On page 145 of Nightside, Grant also mentions that "The eleventh power-zone, Daath, is attributed to Uranus and is the Abode of the Black Brothers, when viewed from the Sphere of Malkuth (earth.) The black Brothers are represented phenomenally by those who view the universe as an objective reality. The 'scientists' are their prototypes."

     While the literalist scientism types as well as the literalist fundamentalism types will take this to mean either that this must all be false, without attempting to understand it of course, or that Electricity itself must be 'evil' and 'Satanic', really it's all just metaphorical for cosmic energy grounding itself out into the formations that give rise to life and consciousness itself, and our language just so happens to follow a line of logical reasoning higher than that of our own personal datum of reference.  In being unable to be elastic minded enough to understand these concepts without being so loose-brained enough to take them literally we can begin to see the energetic nature of these formulae and better understand their manifestation into, or compositioning of, our realm of actuality. Just as the various churches claiming to be 'of God' have attempted and more often than not succeeded in denying the individual free reign over (let alone a basic familiarity with) their True Will and become the very Satanic Accusers (Satan is said to mean 'Accuser' as well as Adversary/Opposer) they claim to be fighting against.

     And so this is a major point in the line of conjecture put forth back in 1858 by Alexander Hislop in his book The Two Babylons which has been subsequently demonized for its calling into question the Catholic Church and its origins in the Pagan tradition. This interesting book helped me to further decode the MYSTERY of Babylon in 666, for the MYSTERY WOMAN BABYLON on whose forehead is inscribed the the FOREHEAD MYSTERY DIGIT in the MYSTERION SYMBOL (See Rev. 17:5, the original word for 'Mystery' is Mysterion.) Hislop claims that THE SCARLET WOMAN'S IDENTITY is the ancient SEMIRAMIS, and it could be seen that A VALUE OF THE NAME SEMIRAMIS is 'written on her forehead' in the sense that it is contained within her name itself.
She was said to have been impregnated via a Solar ray with the child known as Tammuz for which she is depicted with a solar crown, as in the case of the Statue of Liberty which is a modern rendition. Furthermore, in Rev. 17:4 it is said she holds a golden cup, a form of the Holy Grail, and THE GOLDEN CUP is also the solar formula. In Rev. 17:9 it is said the Seven Horns of the Beast are the Seven Mountains, or Hills of Rome and A WOMAN OF SEVEN MOUNTAINS is also 666. This number is therefore the 'MYSTERION SYMBOL' of not only Babylon and Rome (i.e. 'The Two Babylons'), but all truly Antichristian (i.e. anti-Soul) nations and political organizations.

     The word 'Babylon' is said to come from an Akkadian root meaning 'The Gate of God' or 'The Gate of the Gods', which is an ironic name for a city that was said to be godless. BABYLON IS THE GATE OF A GOD = 666, a number which itself acts as a gate to many different levels of godhead and godhood. The Gate of God, or more precisely, the Gate of the Sun God is the ELECTRICAL 360, the solar-phallic Hadit, THE PRIMAL ATOM OF THE BIG BANG, 666. 666 is also the value of 'ESTAR', or 'ASTER', which means 'Star' and is the root of Ashtaroth, Astarte, or Ishtar, the primary goddess of Babylon (Note that Hislop also talks about the symbolism of Easter and the Egg.) The Gate of the Sun/Star is thus the Star-Gate, and incidentally THE STARGATE MACHINE is also 666, which equates with the GIZA PYRAMIDS which have long been said to be just that with their star-aligned chambers possibly acting as stellar lenses for some usage in the King's chamber. Egypt is said to be the remnants carried over from Atlantis, which like Babylon collapsed from its own corruption and misuse of its knowledge and power. It is indeed highly likely that the misused power that accounts for the destruction of Atlantis (not as a single continent but as the idea of a pre-historic past civilization) was electricity itself, something we too are abusing and destroying our environment with. Note that THE LEGEND OF ATLANTIS + ELECTRICITY = 666 as well. The DENDERA LIGHT BULBS also happen to have the electrical value of 666.

     This still as yet insufficiently understood energy, electricity, is really the basis of all manifestation and the 'golden thread' underlying and unifying all legends, religions, sciences, and technologies. The key to its understanding and dynamics are encoded in the gematria of 666 and so of course it has been occulted as any useful tool is. But of course, once this knowledge achieves more re-cognition those same people that claimed this knowledge is irrelevant will suddenly have 'known it all along'. But of course if that were the case it wouldn't have taken me to have to write what had and has yet to be. Since consciousness itself arises as an energetic charge from the chemical compositions of biological materials it too is electrical, i.e. the neural firings in the brain and the central nervous system.
It may also be seen later on down the road that THE NIKOLA TESLA ELECTRICAL FIELD of TESLA'S ENERGY PHYSICS is also 666, which as I have already shown in previous posts how 666 is essentially the omnific power of the Zero-Point. I haven't found evidence of Nikola Tesla or anyone else on the internet knowing or writing the THE CODE OF FREE ENERGY is 666, the 'fire of heaven' which is within all, manifest and unmanifest and connected to the wealth of other natural formulae. This 'Free Energy' is THE RUACH HAQVDVSH, which is a Hebrew transliteration meaning 'The Holy Spirit' and known as 'The Helper' or 'The Comforter'. Note that THE HELPER + RUACH HAKVDASH = 666 as well.

     The angel who is said to bring down the Key of the Bottomless Pit is Abaddon, and we can see that the Hebrew אבדונ + THE KEY OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT is verified in 666, the 'BOTTOMLESS PIT SYMBOL'. The 'Bottomless Pit'/'Abyss' refers to the totality of potentiality residing beyond  the 'gate' or 'veto' of Daath where the All resides in Chaos separated from the Cosmos of the Ego. When this veto is removed and the gate opened the Ego dissolves and the self merges with the All until the ego again finds foundation. The All is an ocean of electrical vibrations and there really is no rest, death or stillness since all is in motion. As long as there is motion there is 'time', and for time to 'end' all would have to 'stop' in which there would cease to be differentiation and as Crowley says in The Book of Thoth, if the wheels stopped turning the universe would dissolve. "Of all important doctrines concerning equilibrium, this is the easiest to understand, that change is stability; that stability is guaranteed by change; that if anything should stop changing for the fraction of a split second, it would go to pieces." 666 even covers that as it is THE FORMULA OF THE END OF TIME, The notion of 'alternate timelines' arises when different routes of operation, 'choices', are considered. Since each choice or decision affects the subsequent course of events each 'timeline' exists as parallel 'reality tunnels', and the free will determining which one is chosen at any given moment is governed by the awareness at the time, the broader and more informed the awareness the more the will is exercised as opposed to being blindly subjected to 'fate'. It is the veil of Daath which separates the corridors of the mind-tunnels and this veil is lifted in ego dissolution and often during dreaming.

     There is a book called An Experiment With Time by J.W. Dunne (1975-1949) which discusses how there have been cases of people dreaming of future events, begging the question that if all events are happening simultaneously beyond the fractional 'peep-hole' of the present then any 'time' may be glimpsed if perception is able to go over the containment threshold. This is where the subject of 'Schizophrenia' arises, which is also lent a chapter in Dark Doorway of the Beast for good reason. Schizophrenia, meaning the 'cleaving' or 'splitting' of the mind, refers to a wide range of symptoms and experiences wherein the afflicted suffers from a lack of full presence of mind in the here and now, as if it were preoccupied with other perceptions not apparent to outside observers. The schizophrenic deals with 'voices' and 'images' which are passing into the mind unvetoed for whatever psycho-physiological reason and the subject is unable to distinguish which data is 'real'. This can be triggered, and is albeit in a more controlled form, with mystical practices which carryout a more contained and directed approach to the separation of the Egoic mask from the Spiritual Light Body.

    The Dream-world, or to Australian aborigines, the Dream-time, in which we spend about 1/3rd or more of our life is as active (if not more) than our 'real' life and yet we know about as little about its mechanics and purpose as we do the substance of electricity. These elusive yet powerful qualities, like those of time and space as well, are ever-present but seemingly unqualified by any actual 'substance' as they themselves are the modifiers and measurers of substance. The entire Universe both in physicality and mental essence are electrical in nature through every fiber of its being. We live in an ocean of electricity in which even during sleep there is little rest. True sleep is 'Not' and therefore unspeakable, unfathomable, and non-existent. To enter the 0 is to immediately be reborn anew and transported via the space globule to another dimensional strand.
