999 OR 666
In the Western world, we are used to write from left to right. An Arabic muslim writes from right to left and Jews write as the cow plows. This fact monopolises our way of looking and our way of thinking. Also our automative responses are programmed this way. In an crisis situation people act basic. So when you fight a muslim with boxing, you can use that knowledge. I used to wear a watch on my left arm, just to feel te difference and the patterrn of the right hand programming.Muslims read from left to right. “PEPSI” is read by them as “ISPEP” and “NATO” as “OTAN”. Evian is the name of producer of cosmetics. But muslims get the message.
Realising that this kind of upbringing happens from birth, you can predict all kinds of things. Advertising and media-messaging use all kinds of tools, based on the way we perceive our world. People seem to be extremely predictable and cooperations, government and religion are all using this knowledge to manipulate you. And they are doing a good job. Mass disobedience should be expected in a world like ours, but the opposite is true. Except for a couple of war-zones and civil unrest, everything, from a global perspective, is peaceful.
Reading and writing. But what about arithmetic? The decimal system, which is used world wide, has many predecessors, which are completely different from ours. Even today the fact that we divide an hour into 60 minutes, reminds us of the ancient Sumerians and Babylonians. The same goes for calendars.
But the numbers themselves. How do they look from different perspectives. Especially interesting is the number 6. Looked upon from the opposite side, you mistake it for the number nine. Letters also represent numbers. The three last letters of my name has the numerical value 666. This is possibly the most discussed number in the world. John of Patmos wrote this number down in his contribution to the modern Bible, called Revelation. It is the number of “The Beast”, the monster and quarter-master of Satan. Everybody who doesn't has this number on his hand or fore-head, is doomed in the End days.
The Sibyls, Roman witches, who ran an oracle near Naples, wrote their prophecies on oak leaves and threw them out of the cave. Shit happens. Maybe the same happened to John the Divine. Hallucinations are most of the result of drugs and even volcanic gasses. Maybe John mistook his note, when woke up, out of his trance, and read 666 instead of 999. But what about the prophesy, that we must follow the Antichrist and carve this number on our forehead or wrist.
What is most important in our civilised world is Money. This is on our thoughts and mind, most of the time. The same goes for the hand; shop till you drop. And what is the price we pay for our stuff? For our cars, computers, televisions and beauty products? All those things we don't need. Look at the prices: euro 9, 99; 99,99 or 999,99. 9 STIMULATES GREED. So far, so good. John was right. In the days of the Apocalypse, mankind will have to pay the price.
