today is Pentecost Sunday, important in Pynchon

[David Morris]

And it's not 6x6 (666666) because 3 means establishment.  It is the first
number after the two poles of duality.  Duality is a constant fight.  Three
is its first attempt of union. It is the first odd number (because 1 was
prior to the concept of odd), and as such it is a stabilizing force.  So
666 is the establishment of imperfection, sin.  66666 would be a much less
stable establishment of sin.
