Wait a minute here, there's something fishy about all this. Now that we are here on the pasture, Dear Ingenious Reader, allow me to roll it up for ourselves, all this about the number 216 that I always shout about. We are blending with the tryptamine hypercontinuum as we sit here, so, let us dive in!

Let me try and give the details to you shortly.

I went through a tightening of the spiral of my birth as shaman, as godhead, as naked Being, on Midsummer Eve, by the summer solstice at the 21st of the 6th month, or June 21, 2oo5. At the time I had just moved into a new little apartment at street number 216. This connection - 2, 1 and 6 - sprung at me first slowly, but then I found that my year of birth, 1983, also equals 216:

1 x 9 x 8 x 3 = 216

Later it struck me that I was 16 years old year 2ooo, the year I took mushrooms for the first time. The connections began to shine more and more, and soon I found there is this antique clock that hangs on the wall on the street block where my Mother lives, where I ate my first mushrooms, and the clock, I noticed, has stopped on 6:12, 12 minutes past 6. Again, for an acrobatic mind like mine, there shines the 216 current.

Later I saw, when studying the chemistry of tryptamines, that the chemical formulae of DMT is:

C12H16N2

The formulae of psilocin, which is what psilocybin becomes when it enters the body, is almost identical:

C12H16N2O

Again, the 216 current. Then it appeared to me, one strange day, the Devil's number.

6 x 6 x 6 = 216

I then found, when contemplating the event of year 2o12, again in connection to my year of birth and now regarding the number 666:

2o13 + 1983 = 3996

3996 / 6 = 666

Now the year is 2o11 and I'm soaking deep and wet in Sissy's cosmology, this blue-print or thumb-print that my exploration of Ayahuasca, psilocybin and Salvia divinorum keeps flaying at me. Below are a few more interesting connections:

Minutes per day: 144o

2 x 72 = 144

3 x 72 = 216

144ooo / 216 = 666,666666...

144ooo / 666 = 216,216216...

Diameter of moon: 216o miles

Diameter of the sun: 864ooo miles

Seconds per day: 864oo

216 x 4 = 864

216 x 2 = 432

432 x 432 = 186624 (The classic speed of light is 1864oo miles/second, a difference of .oo12o1)

Sissy keeps insisting these equations and connections are a core part of the cosmic river, the hyperspace knit. It's a topology of the landscape of my life, a topology hidden deep down under the culturally accepted norms of what reality is about.

"You, the only one who could break me," Sissy said to me once.

Let me quote our dear Terence McKenna here:

"As nervous systems evolve to higher and higher levels, they come more and more to understand the true situation in which they are embedded, and the true situation in which we are embedded is an organism, an organization of intelligence on a galactic scale."

The Mystery continues...

Also, Sissy has pointed out, regarding the year 2o12:

2o / 12 = 1.6666666...

Recall also that I was 16 years old year 2ooo.

And 666 is an interesting number.

6 x 6 x 6 = 216.

And,

6 x 6 = 36.

And it's funny, if you add up all the numbers 1 to 36, you get 666:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7......+ 34 + 35 + 36 = 666

Also, the number of the beast is exactly equal to the sum of the whole of circular shifts of 120.

012 + 021 + 102 + 120 + 201 + 210 = 666

Circular shift of 216 is also interesting:

126 + 162 + 216 + 261 + 612 + 621 = 1998

3 x 666 = 1998

2 x 999 = 1998

This is kind of interesting as well, 1 divided by 62:

1 ÷ 62 = 0.0 161 290 322 580 645

161 + 290 + 322 + 580 + 645 = 1998

3 x 666 = 1998

2 x 999 = 1998

A very not obvious connection, but I will mention it for the funs of it, is the following. If we take the digits of my year of birth (1983) and add it with the digits of how old I was when I took mushrooms the first time (16), and multiply that with the digits of how old I will be in 2o12 (29), we get 666:

(1 + 9 + 8 + 3 + 16) x 2 x 9 = 666

We also notice, with our eyes for details, that the chemical formulae of DMT begins with a C and ends with an N, just like our dear Cogan:

C12H16N2 (Chemical formulae of DMT)

And these things, Dear Ingenious Reader, is why she's called the Seamstress!

It is interesting to note also, that, considering Sissy being a coder, the English alphabet itself shines of the 216. It consists of 26 letters: 1 - 26.

I then noticed, not too long ago, another strange thing. There are two famous people who have influenced me more than anyone else with their work and ideas, and those two are James Joyce and Terence McKenna. Well as it turns out, both of them died at 2:15 in the early morning. When I found this out, Sissy said:

"I wonder where they were at 2:16."

Also, Joyce's book Ulysses, the book that set me off on the path of writing, was published 1922. Since a 9 can be a 6 upside down in this code, that too doth shine of the 216. Supposedly, at least that's what it says on the last page of Finnegans Wake itself, Joyce began to write FW 1922 as well, FW being his final masterpiece that took him some 17 years or so to write.

Also, Latitude 21.6 and Longitude 21.6 cross spot-on down in the Sahara dessert in what is now Libya, next to Egypt, something that makes sense when one is aware of the Isis-Osiris connection with Sissy-Spiros. As if that weren't enough, if one follows the Longitude 21.6 line straight north from Sahara one reaches the sea just outside the coast of Sweden where I am born and raised and where I presently live. Terence McKenna also lived close to the 21.6 Longitude much of his life; as it crosses the islands of Hawaii on the other side of the planet.

"Two one six" is an anagram of "Now exit so."

B x I x A x N x C x A = 216

W x I x N = 216
