Since 2020, the world has been overwhelmed by a series of events that seem almost beyond belief, surpassing even the predictions of the ‘conspiracy theorists’. From unprecedented global lockdowns to growing concerns about another current wave of lockdowns tied to rising fuel prices and shifts toward remote work, the current moment feels strangely unreal.

Yet, strangely, that surreal quality is exactly what defines it. The world feels unreal because, in truth, it isn’t being shaped by clear logic or rational scenarios that neatly add up.

The more you try to make sense of it, the more you find yourself drifting further from any coherent understanding. And that’s because it was never meant to make sense in the first place; it unfolds as a chain of constant plot twists. And those twists don’t settle; they deepen, growing darker with each turn.

What feels impossible to ignore, however, is the sense that there is some kind of underlying plot. Whatever its true nature may be, the most important thing we can do right now is resist being pulled into its chaos. The only way to do that is to step back, far back, and attempt to interpret the symbols and ideas that may have shaped it in the first place.

We may never fully grasp what’s unfolding, but the one thing we can hold onto is our capacity for critical thought, especially before technology begins to think on our behalf.

The more we think independently, the less dependent we become on AI, and the less likely we are to drift into a state of blind surrender, often described as “beast mode”, symbolically linked to the number 666.

This is why that number remains so significant in attempts to interpret the world we’re living in today.

To put it very simply, because unpacking the full depth of numerology could take far longer, ancient civilizations used numbers as more than just tools for counting. They relied on them to interpret the world, to uncover patterns, and to structure and anticipate the course of life itself.

The way we measure days, seconds, and even structure our calendars is far from accidental; it stems from deliberate systems developed by ancient civilizations that devoted immense effort to studying numbers and their role in shaping life itself.
