"Let It Be": The Beatles & the Law of Liberty (i.e. of Thelema)

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me

The name "Mary" is the English form of the Greek name Maria or Mariam, which is theorized to mean "sea of bitterness". The Sea is also a symbol of Binah & Babalon. "Marie" (or "Mary E", Greek for "Mary herself") in Greek is mu + alpha + rho + iota + epsilon = 40 + 1 + 100 + 10 + 5 = 156 = Babalon (in Hebrew: beth + aleph + beth + aleph + lamed + ayin + nun = 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 30 + 70 + 50 = 156).

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Wisdom ("Chokmah" in Hebrew) is the sephirah just superior to Binah. Note that the letter L, lambda, spelt in full in Greek adds up to 78. 78 x 2 = 156, the number of Babalon, who (as the next sephirah) is Chokmah self-reflecting. Also this Lambda forms the arms of the left-breaking swastika connected to the letter Aleph, & to Kether. It's also the L of the Logos (the word of wisdom) which is passed down. Descending through the Four Worlds of the Tree of Life it becomes Light, Life, Love & Liberty. This "Liberty" is the repeated "Let it be" of the chorus. It's also the Law of Thelema ("Do what thou wilt") which was delivered in a book originally entitled "Liber L".

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me

When an aspirant attains unto the Night of Pan, Marie/Babalon/Binah is right in front of that aspirant.

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.

When the single heart behind all conscious beings is realized (instead of the illusion of a heart apparently broken into pieces: one in each being), the necessary conclusion is that we are all in agreement (though most of us misunderstand that fact). The answer to this realization will be Liberty, i.e. judging behavior as "good" or "bad" by convention will prove inferior to qualifying it according to intent, & conflicting intentions will not be punished (as they are now via legal & prison systems) but disciplined only. We will transcend the illusion of there being any absolute "wrong", treated by punishment or execution--Only conflicts of intention resolved through Light, Life & Love, i.e. communication and growth.

For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see

The illusion in which there appears to be multiple souls (instead of the one that there truly is) will eventually be seen through by human culture.

There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.

The four worlds are attributed to the four elements. Binah constitutes the world attributed to water. The individual's mind constitutes the world attributed to air. The two elements mixed create a cloud. Even when the Night (another symbol of Binah) is obscured by the veils of the individual's mind, there is still a light conducted down through the Tree of Life, shining into every conscious "me". We may say that in the two macrocosmic worlds, it shines as Light, then as Life. In the two microcosmic worlds, it will continue to shine, manifesting as Love & Liberty ("All You Need Is Love" & "Let It Be"). "Tomorrow", besides referring to the future in general, may also refer to the return of day, that is the return of the Sun to the consciousness (or the consciousness to the Sun). On the Tree of Life, the aspirant's consciousness returns to the central sphere of the individual's mind: Tiphareth (which is symbolized by the Sun).

I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Parts of crossing the Abyss to Binah are connected to Silence, while the world of the individual's mind is connected to sound. Sound is "music" when some pattern is recognized in the stream of vibrations. "Music" could here be referring to this understanding of the pattern of "sound", "sound" meaning all stimuli in the individual's mind. Ultimately, the pattern of the individual's mind is all there is to the microcosm, and supercedes the illusion of Others. Realizing this is a step toward "waking up", & in this case a step upward toward Binah. The lyricist/singer may be noting that "Mary" comes to "me" in that her light is constituting (& ruling by the Law of Liberty) the whole of the pattern of his mind: She descends into the individual while hallucinating that She is the individual--She comes to "me". The true realizing of this also marks the lyricist/singer's coming to Marie/Babalon/Binah.

Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

The whisper may be connected to the dispersing hiss of Choronzon, whose forms are really the "words of wisdom" issued by Marie/Babalon/Binah but misunderstood by the individual's mind (who projects its own personality-illusion upon each one).
