The Keys of Ancient Egypt- On the number 6 - As translated from R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz by John Anthony West, "Serpent and in Sky"
This is translated from The Temple of Man - Luxor Egypt
Regarding the properties of the number 6.

"....In terms of the material world, time is real. Time is real as far as our bodies are concerned. We live and die. In terms of the spiritual world, time is not 'illusion' in the sense of falsely perceiver reality. Rather, timedoes not exist. To the Absolute, to transcendent unity, therre is no time. And all initiatic religions teach that the goal of man is reunion with the Absolute, with God(dess), with the realm of 'spirit. Therefore, an important aspect of all these teachings is the insistence upon the necessity to transcend time; for it is time which holds us in bondage to the material world.

But since our bodies anr bound to time, and our needs, pleasures, pains and desires so closely bound to our bodies, it is difficult to instell within ourselves the unshakeable determination to act upon the necessity to transcend time - even after we have paid lip service to it. Hence the elaborate disciplines and rituals of Yoga, Zen and other forms of Eastern and Western religions.

The study of number symbolism will not in itself enable a man to transcend time, but by clarifying the issue, by demonstrating the manner in which time and space play their roles in the grand scheme, number symbolism may help us see them in their true light, and perhaps help to make the need for transcendence that much more urgent.

The framework in whech creation takes place is time and space, which requires six terms to define them. Creation does not take place within time; rather, time is an effect of creation. Thinkgs do not exist within space; things are space. Ther is no time except that which is defined by volume. The material universe is an interpenetration hierarchy of energies at different levels or orders of density, to which our senses have but limited access.

Every construction, no matter how simple it may be, has a soul because it has Volume. Volume is the indefinable substance-Spirit arrested in Space. It is alive, it is specific, it is Number, therefore Music."
