The 'Beast' is not a creature that walks, but a condition in Man which persists.

Under normal circumstances of life in the fifth dimension, every root race evolutionary Soul Atom/Atum starts its journey by forming a projection in the fifth dimension with its two consciousness matrixes comprising the incarnated projection.

The first is the inner consciousness matrix surrounding the Soul Atom/Atum which made the projection. Carried into the matrix are the experiences of the past, astrophysics, and other such variables as there may be.  The matrix ties to the sixth and seventh dimensional factors through Intelligence. (Fig. 41).

The second matrix is the outer consciousness comprising the assorted outer conditions of the incarnation. The matrix is rotated at ninety degrees to the inner, not as a hexagram within a Starr of David but as six additional points around the originating circle.  (Fig. 43).

In a properly construed higher dimensional Descendant projection, the outer consciousness matrix is well connected to the inner depending on the Dispensation or experience of the Soul Atom/Atum making the projection. The two matrixes as depicted above, are not how consciousnesses are matrixed per se, which only show the rule of dimensionality. In actuality both matrixes would be very complex. 

In an evolutionary Ascendant projection, the outer consciousness matrix is at first only indirectly tied to the higher dimensional factors. At the beginning of each new projection cycle the two matrixes usually don't fit well together. (Fig. 43).

The partial veil over higher consciousness is obvious. However, the purpose of the projection is to learn. As the individual learns, they work their way through the disparities, slowly bringing the outer matrix into harmonization and alignment with the inner. If the Soul Atom/Atum is a Descending  Being which has incurred conditions such as those upon Earth, the same would apply as a process of re-harmonizing the outer with the inner.

When the last step is finished, at the end of the incarnating cycle the inner action absorbs the outer as an adopted fruit, namely the outer consciousness you know as you. Your higher Soul Atom/Atum self is then able to move on to your next level of evolutionary experience or expression greater made.

If your outer consciousness has not come into alignment, your inner will absorb at least those frequencies which are positive to the Creators. When going into your next projection, you as the adopted fruit, or with the absorbed frequencies if any, are carried along as part and parcel of the next inner matrix of your Soul Atom/Atum's next projection as a gained enhancement. (Fig. 44).

Within the Earth plane time line, animals are a different matter. The Starr of David component of the higher is held as a field on their behalf by the Life Carrier Celestials as part of the fifth dimensional expression of the Planet. (Fig. 45).

In the fifth dimension, flora and fauna exist in Morontia form to a full fifth dimensional cubistic extent. Their matrixes do not have a full sixth or seventh dimensional component nor a strengthened inner consciousness matrix. The cubistic matrixes of the third dimensional time line flora and fauna similarly do not have a six or seventh dimensional component nor a strengthened inner consciousness matrix. And only a very rudimentary fifth dimensional component, (not shown).

The difference between a creature and Being is that a Being has full Christ Co-Creative capability while a creature does not. In your current outer predicament you are a Being with a temporary creature inhibition.

Time line creatures exist within the fourth dimension with a third dimensional materiality. Creatures spend part of their time in the third dimension or lower three octaves awake. The rest of their time is spent in the first four octaves physically sleeping but perceptually wide awake for most of it, the original purpose of sleep. So do you, legacy of the inhibition. Beings in the fifth dimension and higher do not sleep.

When new-born time-line animals are forming within the womb or an egg, the matrixes develop by a combination of genetics, Life Spirit Celestials in attendance, and the auspices of the Male/Female Soul Atom/Atum of the Planet who has accepted the responsibility.

When Man started incarnating into the time line structures, they inadvertently incurred the matrixing structures of the animal kingdom as part and parcel of their own outer consciousness expression. The time line matrix was a superimposed addition upon their normal outer consciousness matrix which they now had to deal with as extra baggage when striving to achieve proper alignment with their inner matrix.

Worse, it incurred a beast condition in Man.

'Here is wisdom. Let him who hath understanding count the number of the beast for it is also the number of a Man. And that number is six, six score, and six'.

Despite the compelling connection, the number does not refer to credit card numbers, social insurance numbers, or any other such personal identification (pin) type numbers of outer world determinology. It refers to a type of outer consciousnesses which among one of its many cankers would consider such herdant numbering schemes useful within a society.

More specifically, the number refers to the lower triangle of your outer matrix. It refers to the component within your outer consciousness matrix which is specifically animal kingdom attuned.

It relates to the fact that when your Soul Atom or Soul Atum projected into Earth's lower dimensional time line, you not only ended up with a specific lower material component in your lower consciousness matrix from the gene pool of your parents and the material substances of your mother, you also have the regular lower dimensional matrixing factors of the animal kingdom to deal with, gift from the Planet.

Six, six, six itself is not the problem. The problem is that through it, your outer consciousness ties directly to the animal kingdom.

Your upper triangle is considered that of Heaven, your lower triangle is considered that of Earth. In each of the three corners of the lower triangle of the fourth dimensional portion of your outer consciousness matrix of fig. 42 a cubit exists. Because of the outer rotation, the three cubits are at the three o'clock, seven o'clock, and eleven o'clock positions respectively. Fig. 45 helps to locate them easier.

Each cubit is six lengths around. There are thus six, six score, and six, or eighteen cubistic principles in consciousness. As you have both a lower and an upper triangle of consciousness, you have eighteen plus eighteen equals thirty six cubistic principles associated in consciousness.

Since you have both an inner and outer matrix you have seventy two cubistic principles associated in consciousness. Since you have both an inducting and discharging action in consciousness, you have one hundred and forty four cubistic principles associated in consciousness. Which affiliates with the one hundred and forty four astrophysical facets of the throne.

Normally that would be the end of it. However, you are also currently incarnated within the disharmonies of an Earth plane projection instead of within the harmonies of the fifth dimension. So the fourth dimensional component of your outer consciousness matrix is also currently directly polarized with the animal kingdom lower triangle actions of the fourth dimension.

As fig. 45 clearly shows the animal kingdom matrix has the exact same cubistic layout for the lower triangle as does yours in fig. 42. So by direct overlay of the six, six score, and six cubistic principles of the lower triangle of the animal matrix upon the same six, six score, and six cubistic principles of the lower triangle of your outer consciousness matrix, an animal condition is directly imposed upon your outer consciousness matrix through the attunement. Which is called the Beast.

In other words, the number of the Beast, six, six score, and six, refers directly to the lower animal triangle component inherited by Man, sitting directly imposed upon the number of a Man, namely their outer consciousness lower triangle. When someone allows the lower animal kingdom triangle component to become the dominant aspect in their outer consciousness expression, they are referred to as beast like in temperament or bestial.

It is important to remember that the upper triangle action of consciousness in your outer matrix ties to the things of Heaven while your lower triangle action ties to the things of Earth. Note that in the inner and inter dimensional depiction of the seven frequencies of fig. 16 in Chapter 3 as shown in the normal position of orientation, the cubits for the three points of the upper triangle all have full Energy attribution while the three cubits for the lower triangle do not.

Herein is the essential difference between your upper and lower triangles of consciousness. Your upper triangle has full Christ Consciousness capability while your lower triangle does not.

The bestial condition in Man is quite specific. When Man projected into the third dimension, they projected directly into the animal matrixes of the time line which had been given the anomalous self survival traits of the species, and took them on.

Because stress and other lesser conditions had originally been introduced into the animal matrixes by administrative folly out of Orion, the lower evolutionary matrixes additionally contain such abominable negative static generating self-contained survival responses as blind hate to select the fittest mating partner, blind fear to save the life of a frightened deer, and blind rage of a mother to defend her young against all odds.
