As a reader of GPW, you will certainly wonder what this book has to do with holistic dentistry.

The answer is simple: on the face of it, nothing.

In a broader sense, however, a great deal: as dentists working holistically, we always share responsibility for how we deal with our patients and therefore for our own actions and thinking. After all, we claim that, alongside a purely technical discipline, we do not merely use a functional, energetic network, but also, with a philosophy of illness as the basis for our actions, seek to make the person healed, that is, whole, in keeping with Hermann Fritsche's saying: The human being is ill; the human being is therefore — similia similibus — the remedy for the human being. A person can attain healing only when something akin to them redeems them.

Risk factors include all exogenous and endogenous harmful influences that constantly fill our matrix as a mesenchymal waste bin, the two being mutually dependent.

Exogenous harmful influences also include symbols with which we are confronted, unconsciously, every day. In this case, these are first of all barcodes, in which the number 666 appears to us in encoded form, known as the number of the beast from the Apocalypse of John and from the prophecies of the Hopi Indians, where it is known as the sign of the bear: “No one will be able to buy or sell unless they have the sign of the bear.” This is interpreted through numerology, in which letters and numbers are equated with the meaning given to us by the apocalyptic text: “No one shall be able to buy or sell who does not bear the name of the beast or the number of its name as a sign and mark. Here wisdom itself speaks: let whoever has understanding seek the meaning of the number of the beast. It is the number of man. And its number is 666.” (Apocalypse of John 13:16–18)

Secondly, we ourselves use the number 666 every time we surf the Internet on a computer, by entering www: numerologically, this corresponds to the Hebrew V (VAU), which has the numerical value 6. To understand this, one must know that, according to numerological principles, every letter and number, like every symbol, stands on the different planes of existence for symbolic forces that can be used negatively as well as positively. Thus, according to F. Bardon, on the material plane the letter W represents “the ability to bring everything on earth under control, to make all beings serve one's purposes, and instantly to bring about any deceptions or misconceptions of various kinds.”

The Internet is thus an important representative of “666”, but is not identical with it: “The Internet is the latest link so far in a potentially extremely threatening development, embedded in a scenario planned over the long term, which first connects all people with banks and authorities and then makes them completely controllable and dependent.” (Sunn, p. 88)

But the interpretation goes further still: all this is merely a milestone on the path to restricting our individual freedom and the development of our consciousness through the spiritual principle — the spirit of the age — behind it: Sorath, as Agrippa of Nettesheim already formulated it. It is a principle that exerts so much influence over us because it is already inherent in human beings themselves, and that seeks to “prevent further intellectual, free and spiritual development.”

“According to the science of numbers, ‘666’, as the number of the beast, a beast named Sorath, symbolises humanity's exaggerated rationalism: pure intellect which, unguided by ethics and morality, coldly pursues its aims and seeks to bring its environment and fellow human beings under control. Detached from ethics, it poses a great danger, even though the rational, materialistic and scientific mind has brought us many achievements.

Here we encounter the cold nature of the beast, identical to that of the biblical dragon: subjugation of the individual human being, restriction of their immense capacities to the purely rational, and the exercise of control and power at any price. This danger must be recognised and counteracted.” (Sunn, p. 88)

By their fruits — symptoms — you shall know them: applied to our present situation, this familiar statement makes it clear that today's global and individual lack of wholeness, such as the excesses of the world economy and the war industry, the increase in chronic illness, environmental pollution and so forth, which confronts us everywhere, must have causes somewhere; for nothing happens without cause — and chance.

“We are being politically and socially programmed for our own self-destruction. I cannot credit any human being with such cynicism, such a will to annihilate humanity. It must be other, inhuman beings carrying out this deception. I feel the aggressive, destructive energy of these eccentric monsters.” (H. J. Heyer)

Endogenous harmful influences include the mental ideologies we have internalised as a result of manifold misinformation, both conscious and unconscious, reflecting the spirit of the age, with which we may wish to doctrinally “convert” our patients. This may be through conventional or alternative medicine, for example through a particular diet, or through the belief that odontogenic foci or heavy-metal intoxication are to blame for everything, or the belief that every patient can be restored to health only through biological, holistic dental treatment.

In holistic dentistry, we know the mirror-image principle: by helping the patient, we can also heal ourselves, because the patient who comes to us — to each of us individually — shows us what we cannot see in ourselves.

Through our affinity, we thus create the possibility of choosing which patients we attract and, consequently, what we can contribute to evolution, both our own and that of the whole. What matters here is where we direct, or do not direct, our consciousness, and what attitude of mind we express. For each of us contributes to humanity's collective consciousness through the way, and the material with which, we programme our consciousness.

In this respect, we must realise that the unwholeness prevailing globally could arise only because of our individual lack of wholeness.

Let us therefore begin with ourselves.

It is important to know that we can develop spiritually only by overcoming difficulties. In other words, we need the “Sorath principle” in order to grow through it and thereby contribute to evolution. For “every force entails a simultaneous counterforce.”

To avoid being infected by the negative spirit of the age outlined above, we need “courage, enthusiasm and love” to carry “the divine principle of the trinity through the world”. This means that we should not simply fight the “Sorath principle” a priori, but transform it through our own development.

Among other things, we can do this by using modern forms of technology consciously, in a functional sense, without making ourselves dependent on them in terms of content — so to speak, carrying evil into the world with good on our lips, the “Alf principle”.

The better we familiarise our patients with these ideas, the less “Orwell 84” will become reality and the less power the Illuminati will have over us, to the benefit of us all.

84 is not simply the reversal of the year in which Orwell wrote the book, (19)48. Rather, “48 is the only two-digit number that produces a difference of 36 when its digits are reversed. 36 is a magically charged number. 36 means three-six: 666. And if one adds the numbers 1+2+3+4+5+6 and so on up to 36, the result is again 666!” (Risi). Thus “1984” is not intended as a Gregorian calendar year, but as a concept!

In this sense, the book reviewed can lead towards this conscious attitude by teaching us to see more clearly through what is happening around us. This can be one way of practising holistic dentistry in harmony with evolution.

P.S. Anyone interested in serious, reliable, global intellectual and spiritual background information on this subject and on the overall situation of our earth within the cosmic act of creation is most warmly recommended the three-volume work Der multidimensionale Kosmos by Armin Risi, published by Govinda Verlag, Neuhausen/Altenburg. www.armin-risi.ch
