Chapter 75: The Number Six (6)

The sixth constellation Virgo corresponds to the number six.

Its planet is Venus and its musical note is La.

It is related with the islets of Langerhans, which are in the pancreas. These Langerhans secrete insulin, which is very important for the digestion of sugar.

Its color is blue. Its plexus is the sacrum or coccyx, the chakra Muladhara. The number six is related with all the glands.

The number six has seventy-two doors on each side and seventy-two intermediate ones. The initiate who passes through those seventy-two doors can enter into the world of the crudest realities of life and into the sidereal world.

The world of crude reality is the Ninth Sphere, because seventy-two doors = 7 + 2 = 9. If we comprehend what the seventy-two doors are, if we know what the Great Arcanum is, then we can enter into the world of the crude reality of life and into the sidereal world, which is the astral world.

It is very interesting that the number six has seventy-two doors on each side and seventy-two intermediate ones. We find the explanation in the star of King Solomon. In summary, we see that this star has twelve rays—six masculine and six feminine—which are decomposed in the twelve constellations of the zodiac. In this star are summarized and synthesized the mysteries of the Arcanum A.Z.F., the mysteries of Alchemy, the mysteries of sex. This star is the symbol of the Logos.

Now that the number six is explained in a transcendental Kabbalistic way, you will understand for yourself how we enter into the world of crude reality through comprehension. That is why people are horrified when the Arcanum A.Z.F. is delivered in a shabby, explicit way. The teachings of the Ninth Sphere must be shown through Kabbalah in order for the people to know the truth.

The seventy-two doors that are placed from side to side are within Jachin and Boaz, and in the center of both columns, where the seventy-two intermediate doors are found, is where the mystery of the two columns is placed, which is the Brute Stone.

One must chisel the Brute Stone until making it perfect. If this holy six is placed together three times, then we get 666, which is the number of the Beast. If we add 6 + 6 + 6 = 18, eighteen is very tenebrous, it is Twilight, occult enemies, secret enemies.

The tenebrous ones attack terribly when one is working in the Great Work. The tenebrous do not like this and they look for the way to take the disciple off the path by attacking him terribly.

We find within the number six erotic volitions, ornamental ideas, reciprocity, fertility, amorousness.
