Gematria Brief Intro:

In its simplest form, gematria involves assigning a numerical value to each English letter. The numerical values are assigned based on the order of the letters in the English alphabet. For example, the letter A has a value of 1, the letter B has a value of 2, and so on (different cipher used will have different set of values assigned to the letters).

Gematria can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to find hidden meanings in the Bible, For example, the name 'Jesus' has a numerical value of 444, which is the same numerical value of the word 'Messiah.' This suggests that Jesus is connected to Messiah , In general, any words or phrases sharing the same numerical value are considered potentially connected and containing hidden meaning.

Interesting Results Produced By Gematria:

Example 1: Entering the phrases "Thriller Album," "Grammy Award," "Chimpanzee Bubbles," and "Painkiller" into a Gematria Decoder reveals that they are all connected with "Michael Jackson."

Example 2: In the 2024 Taiwan presidential election, there were three candidates: Lai Ching-te, Hou Yu-ih, and Ko Wen-je. Entering their names into the Gematria Decoder revealed that only Lai Ching-te has a connection with the word "President," and indeed, Lai Ching-te emerged as the winner and became the President of Taiwan.

Are these results purely coincidental, or is there something spiritual or magical about gematria?

It's An Ancient Jewish Mathematical Game That Turned Into A Myth ... It Exists As A Relic Of Ancient Jewish Spirituality ...

It Has No Use Except For Insane Conspiracy Theorists Using It As Numerology ....

Like Astrology The Tarot And I Ching .. Fun Maybe For Some ... But It Certainly Is Not Science ....

Therefore Has No Applicable Use For Studying Anything .... Jewish Religious Scholars May Sanctify It's Spiritual Origins ...

But That's Jewish Orthodox Tradition .... Were Talking Spirituality .... Fun Maybe .... But There's No Practical Use For It

Correlation does not imply causation.

 

[TheDifference]

I’ve seen Gematria used a lot by conspiracy theorists to try and make connections between things like the corona virus and the gov or the pyramid dimensions and extraterrestrials.
My feeling is that the human mind is “wired” to try and find patterns and connections between things. But oftentimes there is no connection and it’s simply a coincidence. But who knows, maybe there really are hidden connections that are there? 🤷🏻‍♂️ It’s interesting to think about.

 

[emileh]

Human brains are indeed wired to find patterns where none really exist. The visual example of this is pareidolia where people see shapes and patterns where none really exist like Rorscharch ink blots or faces in pieces or toast or clouds. This can apply to numerical and statistical patterns where even with careful explanation the bias remains strong. Monty Hall problem anyone?

I’m here now because of the Rorschach inkblots.

Fascinating

numbers are everything

mathematics is the universal language

numerology rules the material world

all things comes in sets of 3

[emileh]

Mathematics is a true science that demands rigorous proofs.

Numerology isn't even pseudoscience. It's woo at best.

Things come in sets of all sizes including the set of sets.
