&"The Beast&"
-
I discovered some interesting things recently:
1.) In Revelations it is actually "[sea] beast"... not just "the beast."
2.) Crowley's personal symbol was a Sea Goat, which is a representation of Pan.
Is Revelations predicting the return of the Old God Pan and threatening that everyone who worships Pan will be killed?
3.) For being so anti-"beast," the Bible sure does have some interesting links between "Jesus Christ" and 666: www.jesus8880.com/gematria/666.htm
What in the hell can this possibly mean? The writers of the Bible were directly contradicting themselves? Or, does Revelations have a completely different meaning than is generally interpreted?

*Revelations *has a completely different meaning than usually understood. It is a step-by-step instruction in kundalini yoga.
The term used isn't "sea-beast," though it does say in Rev. 13:1 that the beast rose up out of the sea: Kai eidon ek tes thalasses therion anabainon. But the term for the critter itself is therion, simply some sort of non-human animate creature (same way that "beasts" are used in the early part of Genesis).

Ah, "from the waters" does make some kind of sense in that case then, doesn't it?
I'm going to reread Revelations this weekend and attempt to comprehend it based on what I know of Kundalini from texts, not personal experience (The Serpent Power, Mumford's work, etc.)

"Also, what about the Sea Goat / Pan stuff? Is Pan another representation of the Beast? (The Beast is the HGA, right?)"
Please spin kundalini questions/remarks off to another thread. On the above: Could be. Depends. Context specific.
Beast as HGA? Well, the Beast is 666 - the supreme number of the Sun - so has a relationship to Tiphereth. I don't recall anyone ever equating it per se to the HGA, though there's a "hidden god" sense in which this might fit for some aspirants in some contexts.
