The F's in FIAOF are added to make the gematria perfect (similar to AUMGN
instead of simply AUM). It's pronounced the same as IAO.

IAF and SABAF are pronounced IAO and SABAO. In this case the F's replace the O's
(pronunciation wise, same with everything in Samekh).

Because it has a distinctly different meaning than ΙΑΩ, the Greek tetragrammaton,
I pronounce FIAOF or VIAOV (ϜIAΩϜ or ‫ויאעו‬‎) as WHY-A-OW.

See the Wikipedia entries for the Greek digamma and the Hebrew vav.

"FIAOF" and the other variations of "IAO" are pronounced the same: "I-A-O"

The "F" on either side is symbolic of the "IAO" Formula as a process within the

Experimenting with EIAOE.

Silence to silence. I as in either and or. Short e sound with indraw/out breath
during intonation. Unused vowel for hidden vitalizer- U(you). Various numerations
toward English cabala. Tarot. Sympathies with EVOE.

666 states it is pronounced as an O sounding something between the O in “both”

and “tooth”

 This is one way I like to illustrate "True Will".

A cat is perfect at being a cat. He doesn't wish to be anything else. Being a cat comes
naturally to him. He doesn't struggle with being a cat or with what functioning as a
cat entails. He doesn't question being what he is and he doesn't have to figure out
what he is. He eats when he needs to, he hunts, he plays, he purrs, he responds to
each situation accordingly, from this unfolding of Being a Cat.

You are a human being, but most specially, you are an unique species of animal called
You. This animal that you are is perfect at being what it is. It wants what it wants, it
loves what it loves.

Everything that you truly are comes naturally to you. There is no effort in this, just like
