Six's And Seven's, As Above... So Below
"The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason
writes."
--Andre
Gide
If you ever played Jacks, you know the idea is to to gather as many of them in your hand on one bounce of the ball before it comes back down.
Having taken a recent Inventory of the Chapters discussed so far, it quickly became obvious that there was a large swathe of Chapters in the 60's that had not been presented for comment; only 65 and 68 had actual citations.
If you were paying attention the number 6 came up earlier and its connection to Carbon along with the set of 6 companions or 3 sets of pairs/duals each individual comprises; those being on the Starboard, Larboard, and Bow positions (A Tree, an Apple, a Wineskin) . And one shorthand way to describe Human at all 3 positions is (6,6,6).
Tabulating the 10 chapters in the 60's and their corresponding number of Signs, an interesting pattern emerged by simply taking the difference between the number of Signs in each consecutive Chapter, as indicated below.
If each set of 3 differences are taken together and assuming the 0 is a separator; one way to consider these numbers (1.3), (7.6), and (18.22) is as human chromosome locations. I think it goes something like chromosome 1 band 3, etc.
Having mentioned lipids/fatty acids earlier, it would be interesting to note the mechanism for fatty acid messaging and these chromosome locations. Two diseases prevalent in the population that are connected to fatty acids and mRNA are diabetes and obesity; but there may be others specific to the disclosed chromosomes that an accommodating Geneticist may help answer. While this might not be the only significance attached to this numerical pattern, it seemed the most obvious.
I can get away with making these types of sweeping statements and 'hazard' such guesses because I am getting used to being at 6's and 7's with you. (And I never want to hear that your mother never taught you anything.)
As we continually gain proficiency in amassing, archiving and programming information to the extent that we already impart 'knowledge' to sub-human species and create artificial intelligence systems , the demarcation between what separates our intelligence from that of the rest of Creation gets fuzzy-er. But if there is still one attribute remaining that sets Humans apart from the rest of Creation, it is that we can manipulate a writing implement easily and that we can write creatively; and this ability more than any other factor delineates what it is to be Human:
68 Qalam (The Pen, Writing Implement)
ن وَالْقَلَمِ وَمَا يَسْطُرُونَ 68:1
مَا أَنتَ بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ بِمَجْنُونٍ 68:2
وَإِنَّ لَكَ لَأَجْرًا غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ 68:3
وَإِنَّكَ لَعَلى خُلُقٍ عَظِيمٍ 68:4
فَسَتُبْصِرُ وَيُبْصِرُونَ 68:5
بِأَييِّكُمُ الْمَفْتُونُ 68:6
.
.
وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ 68:52
68:1 Nuun. By the Pen and what they Write...
68:2 You are not, by your Sustainer’s Favor, crazy (irrational/mad).
68:3 And, indeed, for you is an Unfailing Reward of Goodness.
68:4 And, indeed, you are Creating Tremendous Good.
68:5 You shall see, and they shall see,
68:6 Which of you is the demented.
.
.
68:52 And this is nothing except a Reminder to the Worlds.
And unlike the rest of all Creation, we question why we are here, and why we are given Life only to have to eventually 'succumb' to Death.
67 Mulk (The Dominion)الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْمَوْتَ وَالْحَيَاةَ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفُورُ 67:2
الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا مَّا تَرَى فِي خَلْقِ الرَّحْمَنِ مِن تَفَاوُتٍ فَارْجِعِ الْبَصَرَ هَلْ تَرَى مِن فُطُورٍ 67:3
67:2 He Created Death and Life to try you; which of you is best
(most beautiful) in conduct (deed); and He is the Mighty, the Forgiving…
67:3 Who Created seven heavens (multiple) echelon. You can see no
inconsistency (disproportion) in the Beneficent’s Creation;
then look again; Can you see any rift (fissure/aperture/break)?
Careful scrutiny of our Humanity through the Ages will uncover the fact that no Force has shaped us (literally and figuratively) more than our assimilation of Knowledge; not Wars or Conquests or near obliteration by either Man-made or Natural Disasters. Knowledge increases our Self-Awareness and it propels our Evolution; it is the Prime Mover behind shifting paradigms in our Psyche, Intelligence and even our Physical Body. Our Response to Knowledge changes our Environment which in turn Shapes us.
62 Jumu'ah (Congregation)
62:2 هُوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ فِي الْأُمِّيِّينَ رَسُولًا مِّنْهُمْ يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ وَيُزَكِّيهِمْ
وَيُعَلِّمُهُمُ الْكِتَابَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَإِن كَانُوا مِن قَبْلُ لَفِي ضَلَالٍ مُّبِين
وَآخَرِينَ مِنْهُمْ لَمَّا يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ 62:3
62:2 It is He who sent among the illiterates (unlettered, those lacking
Scripture) a messenger from their midst to recite to them the Signs and to
raise them (thereby) and to teach them the Book (Scripture) and Judgment;
indeed they were obviously astray (in the dark).
62:3 And those from among them who will later follow them. He is the Mighty,
the Wise.
And this is why the most effective tool God can give us for our own benefit is Knowledge; it is the Fountainhead from which all else springs; like Water to Dry Land, it leads to growth in all its aspects that includes but is not limited to reproduction, development, love (caring/respect/appreciation), creation and perfection (completion).
65 Talaq (Divorce)
اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا
أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا 65:12
65:12 It is God who Created seven heavens (smwat), and of the earth similar to them. The Commandments propagate throughout them such that you learn (come to know) that God is indeed Able to do all things, and that God Encompasses (Surrounds) all things in Knowledge.
With Knowledge and Growth and as with any Dynamic Process under Flow, there may be turbulence and not all points are going to change at the same time to the same effect. That's why we are all at different points of development not only compared to each other but within our own beings; for example, our intelligence may not have caught up with our physique or emotional maturity. This can and does lead to major disruptions in how we deal with each other because we are not 'all on the same page.'
63 Munafiqun (Hypocrites)
وَإِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ تُعْجِبُكَ أَجْسَامُهُمْ وَإِن يَقُولُوا تَسْمَعْ لِقَوْلِهِمْ
كَأَنَّهُمْ خُشُبٌ مُّسَنَّدَةٌ يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ
هُمُ الْعَدُوُّ فَاحْذَرْهُمْ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّى يُؤْفَكُونَ 63:4
63:4 And when you see them you will find their forms (figures/bodies) most
remarkable; and if they speak, you heed their speech. They’re as if they
were propped up wood. They think every call is against them. They are
adversarial, so beware of them. God fought them for indeed they are not whole.
(Alternatively, 'God fights for their completion').
It is only Reasonable to conclude that such a vast investment in development over one's Lifetime was never actually intended to simply go to Waste and become reduced to mere Dust upon one's Death, and why it is so Imperative to learn that Resurrection is the Reality. An Ultimate Accounting for what you had been doing over the course of your erstwhile life once your body does hit the dirt, as Promised from the God that Formed you.
That there Truly is more to Life and Death than you were lead to believe by those who do not understand the Ultimate Reality, either because their Journey has not taken them so far or because they simply Despair of having to Account for what they do. In this respect, a Call to 'Help God' or be 'God's Helpers', is not because God needs assistance, but in order for you to help yourself by keeping you and those you Love away from the Punishment that is just as likely to ensue for bad deeds as the Reward you get for the good ones. Death is necessary to signal a time for the Final Tally and Help God Not To Have to Punish you; and that is why the Warnings and the Messages keep coming--to give you every chance to mend before the inevitable happens.
60 Mumtahina (She Who Is Tested/Examined)
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تَتَوَلَّوْا قَوْمًا غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَدْ يَئِسُوا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ كَمَا يَئِسَ الْكُفَّارُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْقُبُورِ 60:13
60:13 All you Believers! Do not extend/follow those who earned God’s wrath for they doubt the Hereafter (just) as the Disbelievers are uncertain about those in their graves. (They do not believe in Resurrection)
61 Saff (Arrayed/Arranged)
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا كُونوا أَنصَارَ اللَّهِ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ لِلْحَوَارِيِّينَ مَنْ أَنصَارِي إِلَى اللَّهِ
قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنصَارُ اللَّهِ فَآَمَنَت طَّائِفَةٌ مِّن بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
وَكَفَرَت طَّائِفَةٌ فَأَيَّدْنَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا عَلَى عَدُوِّهِمْ فَأَصْبَحُوا ظَاهِرِينَ 61:14
61:14 All you who are Believers! Be God’s helpers, like when Jesus, Son of Mary, said to Al-Houaryoon (the Disciples): “Who shall be God’s helpers?” They said, “ We are God's helpers.” And a sect of the B’Nai Israel (Children of Israel) believed, while a sect disbelieved. So We supported those who believed against their rivals and they became visible (evident victors).
66 Tahrem (Forbidding/Avoiding)
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ
عَلَيْهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَا يَعْصُونَ اللَّهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ 66:6
66:6 All you Believers! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire fueled with people and stones; tended by Angels strong, severe; they do not resist any of God’s Commands and they do all that they are Commanded.
And the Fight to this End is of such Vital Importance, that God can Orchestrate the Battle so that the Believers Move en masse as One Body:
61 Saff (Arrayed/Arranged)
ِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ صَفًّا كَأَنَّهُم بُنيَانٌ مَّرْصُوصٌ 61:4
61:4 (Know) That God Loves those who fight for His Cause Arrayed as if they are a 'Solid Structure'. (A 'Leaded Column'; refer to the image of chromosomes above and relate their similitude to 'leaded columns')
The Fight is to Find the Truth so that Judgment is Rendered Accordingly, it's why all the Books get written, and if you like the Book of Revelation, here it is without all of the mystery ...
(In short form; it clarifies the difference between God and criminals-- He gives Ample Warning and you always know EXACTLY Why!)
69 Al-Haqqah (The Truth)الْحَاقَّةُ 1: 69
69:1 The Truth!
مَا الْحَاقَّةُ 69:2
69:2 What is The Truth?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحَاقَّةُ 69:3
69:3 And Who Taught you what The Truth is?
فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ نَفْخَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ 69:13
69:13 If the trumpet is blown with a single breath (If a single breath is blown into the Images)
وَحُمِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَالْجِبَالُ فَدُكَّتَا دَكَّةً وَاحِدَةً 69:14
69:14 and the Earth and the Mountains are struck and are picked up with a single beat (strike)
فَيَوْمَئِذٍ وَقَعَتِ الْوَاقِعَةُ 69:15
69:15 And so, that which was announced ensues
وَانشَقَّتِ السَّمَاء فَهِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاهِيَةٌ 69:16
69:16 and the Sky is torn - for, it would become fragile that Day
وَالْمَلَكُ عَلَى أَرْجَائِهَا وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَانِيَةٌ 69:17
69:17 and the Angels at its corners, bearing Your Sustainer’s Throne aloft on that Day, Octet
يَوْمَئِذٍ تُعْرَضُونَ لَا تَخْفَى مِنكُمْ خَافِيَةٌ 69:18
69:18 On that Day you shall be Shown-- not the most deeply buried (secreted) of your deeds will remain concealed.
So the Quest to to Find the Truth--not only behind what motivated you to do things in your life, but every nuance of your actions and your intentions--all Counts toward the Final Judgment and Determines whether You get to Continue on as you Are or be Dispensed with in some other fashion.
64 Taghabun (Mutual Loss and Gain/Adjustment)
وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَى رَسُولِنَا الْبَلَاغُ الْمُبِينُ 64:12
64:12 Obey God and obey His messenger; but if you turn away, the only duty of Our messenger is to convey (the message) plainly (clearly).
