from Jesus:
Let me give you
a general rule for evaluating things of this nature. In many cases there
is an underlying truth to such matters, however, too often that underlying
truth has been distorted, embellished upon and taken too far into the
extremes.
As modern scientists are beginning to realize, everything in the entire
universe is related to numbers. Even ancient scientists, such as Pythagoras,
stated that everything is numbers. When God created the material universe,
certain numbers and number sequences were used to build a sustainable
universe.
Those who elected to go against the purposes of God have attempted to
use a perversion of these numbers in their attempt to break down the
universe and counteract God’s purposes. Therefore, there are certain
numbers that are associated with such dark forces.
The number 999 was used by God in the creation of the material universe.
Those who use black magic often seek to reverse the creative process,
and as a result they turn the number of 999 upside down and get 666.
Another form of black magic is to read holy scriptures backwards.
So there is an underlying reality that certain numbers have become associated
with certain dark forces. However, that does not mean that the use of
such numbers is always black magic or that it makes you vulnerable to
dark forces. The intent behind the use of numbers is of far greater
importance than the outer activity itself.
Unfortunately, human beings often take things to the extreme. I am in
no way discounting the science of numerology, which if used correctly
can give certain insights. However, to simply add up the numbers corresponding
to certain letters and reason that any word which forms 666 is bad,
well that is not a correct use of this knowledge.
The fact that a person’s name ads up to a certain number does
not make that person a bad person. It is not necessary to fanatically
avoid everything that can in some way be associated with the number
666. This can only lead to an unbalanced state of consciousness that
will make it more difficult to attain personal Christhood.
The only way to correctly use such information is to go to your Christ
self and gain an understanding from within. When people attain Christ
discernment, they will naturally avoid the extremes. As you are striving
to attain Christ discernment, you would do well to make a conscious
effort to avoid going into the extremes. The simple fact is that truth
is rarely found in the extremes created by human beings. It is found
in the middle way. The middle way is not a compromise between human
truth and human error. The middle way is above and beyond the relative
scale created by the carnal mind.
In short, I would advise most people to simply ignore these ideas. I
am not thereby denouncing such ideas as false or invalid. I am merely
pointing out that in order to use such ideas correctly you would have
to spend a considerable amount of time studying the topic with your
outer mind and then using your inner discernment to get a higher understanding.
For most people, it would be wiser to focus their attention on other
matters that are more directly related to their Christhood and their
personal mission in life.
However, if you feel a strong inner desire to gain a deeper understanding
of such matters, by all means follow that desire. Study the outer teachings
that are available and then use your connection to your Christ Self
to gain a deeper personal understanding. Use the technique for personal
attunement.
I realize that I am not giving you a very clear answer. However, to
give you a more detailed answer through Kim, he would have to study
the topic to gain a more detailed outer knowledge of the issues involved.
Right now, this simply is not the way I want him to spend his time,
because there are more urgent issues that I want him to study.
