Postcards from the Abyss - VII


NaChaSh.358
February 5, 2008 e.v.

NChSh (nachash, serpent) and MShICh (meshiach, messiah) both enumerate to 358 (on similar principle as TzIUN and BABALON both enumerate to 156). The verse bes taken from Psalm 139 indicating there bes nowhere in the universe to flee from God. This can be seen as terrifying or comforting depending upon perspective. However, for She who makes Her bed in Hell, the "You" what bes there could be a little ambiguous. 358 can refer to the path running from Hod through Geburah to Binah, the "left hand path", as well. And Who bes Hilel ben Shahar in the end but the bright Morning Star?
