BEAST OF THE BOTTOMLESS PIT
A symbol of the desire-mind which is the
adversary of the Spirit. It is energised by the desire-nature never
satisfied, i.e. "bottomless."
"Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the
number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number
is Six hundred and sixty and six.” - REV. xiii. 18.
He that hath knowledge of the higher and lower planes in the
structure of the soul, knows what constitutes man in his lower
nature; and this lower nature is the animal-man, or the "beast” in
man. Six is a number of completion, and 666 indicates completion of
nature on the three lower planes, i.e. the lower mental, astral, and
physical planes, which three completely organized states make up the
desire-mind embodied, or beast." It must be remembered that the
human consciousness is on the mental plane only.
