Is the 666 symbolism used by the people who desire to control life? And what is a carbon footprint anyway?... Extract from: A Pilgrimage for Brian Haw - A Spiritual Journey of Relevance Day 7 - Friday 1st July, 2011 (Morning) By Lee D. Miller As I reached the bottom of the hill, and turned right to look towards the City of Canterbury itself, I got my very first view of Canterbury Cathedral. It was unmissable, and stood proud overlooking the city at what seemed like the end of the road I was now on. I was almost there! “Not too far now,” I thought to myself, but (again) it was a strange sensation I was experiencing. Although I felt happy, I did not feel an overwhelming sense of joy, and as I carried on walking towards the centre of Canterbury (with the cathedral in my permanent line of sight), I suddenly had another strange impression and realisation – the top of the cathedral (from the distance I was away) looked ever so much like the Masonic hand gesture for the Devil! And then I recalled that I had just walked from the ruins of Barking Abbey which was built in the year 666 AD* – the number that represented the mark of the beast!!! Arghhhh!!!! Actually, I then had a little smile to myself because I thought “You know what, the Devil ain’t no match for love mate... and I left with love... and I’m bringing love... and if the Devil’s around these parts today... then he’s going to get some love... because he needs it... much love... all over,” and I smiled to myself some more. * Since the undertaking of my Pilgrimage, I have wondered (with great intrigue) why St. Erkenwald would construct his Benedictine Abbey in a year marked by a number which supposedly represents negative forces. If that number has such “evil” connotations, why do that? Why not wait a few months, and until the year 667, before starting the foundation of the Abbey? Perhaps it was just convenient timing and there is no relevance to the year of the Abbeys construction… but say if there is? What if the number 666 represented something other than the “mark of the beast”? What if it was symbolic of something else? Considering that the Benedictines were initiates into the knowledge of Earth energy, these questions raised themselves to me and so I investigated the possibility of other connections to the number 666. Carbon is essential to life on Earth and I was interested to find that a carbon atom is comprised of 6 protons, 6 neutrons and 6 electrons. Could this fact be significant to the numbers symbolism?
