666 being the number of GEOMETRIC EMERGENCE, and allocated as the Intelligence of Tiphareth (SVRTh, Sorath) implies the Hexagonal-field pattern of the Ruach region of the Tree of Life, figured along with Daath (as space-time) as 'The Cube'. 666 signifies in many ways the MAGNETIC ENERGY CENTER of gravity and Will/Thelema, there is however a magnetic polarity (signified as 999) which represents the toroidal rim (Saturnian Ring) of the Cube-Sphere, and these extremely simplified yet hermetically potent formulae together create the 'Double Wand' of Coph Nia, i.e. the Kaph/Wheel/Hand of the inverted Void (AIN~NIA). The Double Wand of Coph Nia is mentioned in verse 72 of Chapter III of Liber AL vel Legis:
The Force of Coph Nia is an epithet of the vacuum of the Abyss. Coph can not only be thought of as a variant of Kaph, the 11th Hebrew letter (K/Wheel of Fortune/Palm) with its relation to Magick and the Egg (Auric Shell/Wheel of Samsara/Qliphoth) but also Qoph (The back of the head/Moon/Astral body) and Guph, the Hebrew GVPh which refers to the Treasury of Souls between, before/after life and death. It is also noteworthy that the verse number 72 is 11 (=EGG; Kaph) + 61 (NIA, Ain inverted /AIN, Nothingness). This is THE AXLE OF THE AEONS, and it is this inward direction that constitutes the Fifth Dimension and Fifth Element of The Akasha. The gate or doorway of this 'hatch' in the egg is within and everywhere present as the Thread of Ain Soph weaving the Web of Manifestation, but considering the primary symbol of the number 5 being the Pentagram and the Golden Ratio of 2:3, another formulation of this Cosmic formula is the Golden Mean.
Note also that another resonant idea relating to the Golden Mean/Ratio is THE GOLDILOCKS THEORY which happens to equal 618, the fraction of 1.618 that is The Golden Ratio. 618 is also the Greek Ομφη, meaning 'Divine Voice' or 'Oracle', especially as in the voice of God or gods. Note that 618 is also 318 (Helios) and 300 (Shin, the triple flame), thus it is aligned with the solar power - and the Christogram IHS (Gk. ΙΗΧ), the shortening of IESOUS, also has a value of 618 thus aligning it to the Solar-Christ force.

the Qliphoth of Daäth will descend
This,
together with 620/14, reflects in a curiously oblique fashion an ancient
qabalistic doctrine carried over by Initiates of the Golden Dawn. It involves the ‘fall’ of Knowledge (ascribed to the
sephira Daäth) to a position of mere pendant – Malkuth – to the Tree of Life.
Malkuth is known as both the ‘Kingdom’ and the ‘Bride’. By permutation, the
word Malkuth becomes Lam-Koth. [The
mystique associated with these words is explored in Grant, Nightside of Eden.] As Koth [See Lovecraft, The Case of Charles Dexter Ward.] it has been assigned to a black
Tower standing solitary in the ‘twilight zone’ (the Mauve Zone is indicated).
The Tower stands sentinel to the Tunnels of Set; it is also associated with
Lam. The verse suggests that it may be the Standing Stone of Set, or a hollow [See Crowley Liber Samekh, where KOThA
is defined as the ‘Hollow One’.] stone, or shaft, acting in Malkuth as a
conduit for the downbeat Qliphoth of Daäth, the eleventh sephira. The shaft
penetrates the earth (see Comment to 620/14), thus enabling the Force to merge
with the Lower Qliphoth and to “void themselves through the Tunnels of Set.”
These forces may be controlled and diverted into the thirteen Globes of
Yog-Sothoth. The sign for evoking the globes includes OLYARAM, a form of ILYARUN,
whose formula appears in the S’lbaic Gnosis [See Grat, Outer Gateways, chapter 13 et
seq.] The Sign of Koth may therefore be related to, or identical with, the
Sign of Yog-Sothoth’s evocation. The Oracle is AChRITH, ‘of the Ninth’, a
reference to the Ninth Arch; and, as 619 is one more than Ain Omphé, ‘fountain of the Oracle’, it combines these two
concepts.

below Malkuth and void themselves through the Tunnels of Set.
The termination of the sentence at 620 is significant. 620 is not only the number of KThR, Kether 'The Crown' of the Tree of Life, it is also a form of the QLIPhTH and THE TUNNELS. 620 is also the Hebrew ShORIM, or 'Doors', 'Gateways', or 'Portals' - "indicating the Stellar (ChKMH), Saturnian (BINH), and Uranian (V-DOTh) gateways." (page 395 of The Ninth Arch.) Note also that the Hebrew letter for The Tower card is Pe, thus aligning the Tongue with the power of the hollow tower, i.e. the void of the abyss which delineates that which is manifest. The voice and tongue are related to the region of Vishuddha and Daath and the WORDS OF POWER (=777) said to be vibrated on a higher/inner plane than that of merely the outward/mundane. The Hollow Pillar is another form of the 'Black Stone', or the Black Cube of Space, the 'Black Iron Prison' of Philip K. dick, and Pandora's Box, yet also figured as the brass vessel of King Solomon - all of which contain the QLIPHOTHIC FORCES back of all manifestation.



Thus, an ARTIFICER must redirect the focus and align the central axle of Tiphareth/Anahata (the 4th Chakra) for the etheric tendencies to begin patterning, and it is here where the subject of 'Time' creeps in and the 'future' can be understood as a continuum of the past and present, mechanically interlinked in a conflagration of ways our 'conscious'/waking mundane consciousness cannot fully fathom in its partitioned and conditioned state. The Time Barrier is a dimensional range which we have grown to perceive with the help of measurements and historical 'time-binding' processes of data-collection, and it can be likened once again to the 'Fourth Way' of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky, and even the 'Fourth Wall' concept of film where the audience is considered from a perspective hidden or occulted from the set.
Note that THE SET = 333, the number of Choronzon the GATEKEEPER of the TIME-STATIONS and THE SEED of potentiality whereby the Fruit of the Tree may flower. It is between and beyond the 'cells' or 'shells' we know of as numbers, hence the Jewish denotation of them as 'Chambers', that the 'Fourth State' known as Turiya or Twilight is accessed providing entry into the Outer Gateways or 'ShORIM' of the Ain Soph. Thus, if 333 represents the gateways between the angles - and 666 represents the MAGNETIC ENERGY CENTER of GEOMETRIC EMERGENCE within the 'Cube-matrix' of space-time, then 999 again is further symbolically understood as 'THE HYPER-DIMENSIONAL MATRIX' of the dynamic holon/hologram that is the HOLOGRAPHIC CONSCIOUSNESS of the SANCTUM SANCTORUM. Note also the CYCLIC LAW (111) that seems to recur throughout the Qabalah of Nine Chambers. The Wheel of Samsara, the scroll of the Torah, the WHEELS (111) within Wheels, the Spheres, the Shells, etc... are all different scaled interpretations of the cyclical law of space-time. See The Magical Calendar by Adam McLean for more on the magical concept of time, which analyzes the contents of the 1620 magical calendar called Magnum Grimorium sive Calendarium Naturale Magicum Perpetuum Profundissimam Rerum Secretissimarum Contemplationem Totiusque Philosophiae Cognitionem Complectens.


"And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men."
Note the double numbers, 1111 and 1313 which I have already explicated. The patterns within and between the numbers and their correspondent data constructs indicate a natural arrangement for not only utility, but also beauty - and perhaps this is why Tiphareth, the central Sphere of the Tree and the heart of the fruit is thus so called. BEAUTY when spelled with a Teth, 9 has a value of 33 - a number specially connected with Tiphareth and the Christ-force, as well as the double-triangle or Hexagram commonly seen in snowflakes which form when water, the great solvent, comes below 33 degrees, thus unveiling the beauty of the hidden morphological pattern of space-time. Note also that the rendering of 33 DEGREES = 555, the number of the MASTER, i.e. THE MASTER MASON, MASONIC RITUALS, THE COFFIN of initiation which has a 5-5-5 on it, etc.

There
is a drawing extant [By Austin Osman Spare. See Frontispiece.] depicting Clanda
surrounded by the sigils and graphs of Spare’s ‘new geometry’. This was the
picture that Dr. Phineas Black was so eager to decipher, for its strange sigils
(strange even to him!) contained the secrets which form the life-blood of this Book 29 woven from the luminous body of
OKBISh. Is not the verse-number that of all Magick and of the Qliphoth, both of
which Clanda strove to manipulate? She carried the egg which symbolizes the
shells (qliphoth), and we are told that the cypher ‘O’ signified with the
Ancients the number ELEVEN. This is confirmed by the Oracle which totally void
of correspondences (in the Book of
Numbers so far compiled at the time OKBISh
was received), and which still is!
The New Geometry which is glyphed by the Spider's thread is conveyed through THE SPIDER WRITING mentioned in Liber OKBISh, combining the Hebrew, English, and potentially even the Enochian gematrias to further formulate THE ANGLES OF THE NEW GEOMETRY, or THE NEW GEOMETRY OF THE ANGLES (bequethed via the Enochian Workings), i.e. the ENOCHIAN ANGELIC BEINGS (as well as THE MATHEMATICAL KEYS OF THE ENOCHIAN LANGUAGE or ENOCHIAN COMMUNICATION KEYS useful in relaying data thereto and from). The basic system of nine (or ten counting the zero) used in the Qabalah only goes so far and it would seem that the Enochian system represents something altogether 'new' and 'alien', and something Lon Milo DuQuette says in his book Enochian Vision Magick is worth quoting here in regards to Dee's deep interest in and inspiration from the Book of Soyga:
"Like DNA, alphanumeric squares carry an unimaginably vast amount of information in a deceptively small package. As a resident of our 3 x 3 table, the c square also carries information drawn from its position relative to the other letters and their correspondences. Can you begin to see how much information is contained in that one little square alone? Image, then, the mass of complex data that could be stored in a 36 x 36 x 36 square cube represented by the Book of Soyga.
I've discovered no evidence of a direct connection between the Book of Soyga and any of the magical workings that led ultimately to the reception of Enochian magick. Nevertheless, the fact remains that even before Dee met Kelley, the mechanics of the alphanumeric cipher system, as presented in Soyga, captured Dee's analytical imagination and had become part of the way he expected to receive divine information. Indeed, at every phase of Dee and Kelley's workings, alphanumeric squares and codes would play a major role.
We know Dee held the Book of Soyga in high regard and was particularly preoccupied with learning the secrets of the thirty-six tables. The magical process of the Book of Soyga (shuffling and distilling immense numbers of letters and squares into smaller and smaller bis of concentrated information) would become the modus operandi by which the spirits would ultimately communicate the secrets of Enochian magick to Dee and Kelley. It would be the method by which they received the Holy Table, the Lamen, the Ensigns of Creation, the Sigillum Dei Aemeth, the Table of Nalvage, the Elemental Tablets, and, most dramatically, the angelic language and the forty-eight calls. In a way, this process is a metaphor for the mechanics of creation itself. As Carl Sagan said, "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe." In this case, our apple pie is the manifest universe - the world as it presently exists - the world Dee and Kelley wished to undestand and magically affect.
This world is the end product of a progression of cosmic events that physicists believe began with an immeasurably dense singularity containing all the potential information that would eventually become the universe) that burst open and set into motion the phases of creation. The immensely packed assembly of thirty six 36 x 36 alphanumeric squares found in the Book of Soyga is a crude but appropriate model for such a singularity. The intricate process of combining, shuffling, and distilling information-packed squares magically mimics the astronomical processes by which atoms and elements to stars and planets were formed in the creation cycle from seemingly chaotic units of a potential universe."
(Note: 36³ or 46,656 is also 64 x 729, two numbers already extensively analyzed previously relating to the OMEGA POINT (9x9x9) of 8 x 8 = 64 = 'TIME', and hence a 'Singularity' in that way as well.)
The 3 x 3 table, also known as the NUMBER CALCULATOR or 'THE QABALAH OF NINE CHAMBERS' is itself a sort of 'DATA-COMPLEX' (=333) and 'QABALISTIC HARD-DRIVE' (=666) which can be accessed at the very core, root or 'SOURCE-CODE' of THE HOLOGRAPHIC MONAD (with the proper Gnosis and Keys). Remember, both THE EVOLUTION and THE TIKKUN OLAM, i.e. 'The Reparation of the [Fallen] World' = 666 = Παραδιςος, 'Paradise', i.e. Perfection. Dion Fortune's allusion to Malkuth as a 'buoy' and 'nadir of evolution' is helpful in conceiving of Malkuth/Manifestation/Materialization/Mundane consciousness as hollow and banal yet necessarily inertial for stability and growth. Here is what she says in The Mystical Qabalah about Malkuth/Matter:
"Malkuth is the nadir of evolution, but it should be looked upon, not as the ultimate depth of unspirituality, but as the marking-buoy in a yacht race. Any yacht that puts about on to the homeward course before it has rounded the marking-buoy is disqualified. And so it is with the soul. If we try to escape from the discipline of matter before we have mastered the lessons of matter, we are not advancing heavenwards, but suffering from arrested development."
This again relates to the concept of THE SEED (=333) and its potential unfoldment through the TIME-STATIONS, or states of time, which are needed for demarcation and development, and hence the association between 333 and Choronzon the 'GATEKEEPER' of the Abyss as it represents the underlying structural field of formation and the implied gateways thereof. The outward material expression is the fruit or flowering of the internal connections or noumenal creative forces that subsist the origination of any phenomenal thing, i.e. the GEOMETRIC EMERGENCE of THE FRACTAL BLUEPRINT into PHYSICAL PLANE MATERIAL in the INFINITE FORMATIONS of INFINITE INFORMATION. THE HOLOGRAPHIC MONAD at the center of the Hieroglyphic Monad being a 'Singularity' or 'Omega Point' precipitates THE PURE SIMULACRA (i.e. Malkuth) of THE SIMULATED EXISTENCE for the FRACTAL EXPANSION of THE CROWN OF EXISTENCE (I.e. Kether). By backtracking through THE LUNAR LOOPHOLE of The Dracontia (The Eye of the Dragon) one can find the end of the Astral Thread and follow it back through to the source through the aggregate channels that comprises the ORGANIZED FORM of the THE GRAND SINGULARITY.
