GuestWhereas numerology is the study of numbers as they are to decipher their symbolic meaning. Gematria originated as an Assyro-Babylonian-Greek system of alphanumeric code or cipher that was later adopted into Jewish culture. People who practice gematria believe that words with identical numerical values bear some relation to each other or to the number itself. The number may apply to Nature, a person’s age, the calendar year, or the like. A single word can yield multiple values depending on the method used. However, gematria is essential to Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition. The very basis of the kabbalistic cosmological system rests on the belief that God created the universe through the power of the Hebrew letters along with their numerical values. Indeed the many names of God and their permutations in Kabbalah have numerical values that are believed to contain potent power. Gematrists use different methods to calculate the numerological value of letters. The value of a word or phrase is the sum of the numerology values of each letter in the word or phrase. Variant spellings of some letters can be used to produce sets of different numbers, which can be added up or analyzed separately. Rabbi David ha-Levi’s methods take into consideration the numerical values and other properties of the vowels as well. Numerology, the study of the occult significance of numbers, is a science, much like astrology, that is completely dismissed by contemporary, corporeal science. Numerology lies at the heart of gematria and, in the opinion of this author, without understanding numerology one cannot possibly intuit the beauty and utter simplicity of mathematics. Numbers are not cold, dead, dry arbitrary accidents of cosmic chaos but the language and the lifeblood of the creative force behind creation.

Numbers, as understood by the Greeks and Egyptians, are cosmological principles whose essences play out and are revealed to us in the material world. Numbers contain within them an inherent message – each number has a story to tell, and each of these stories pertains to the magnificence of the creation of our cosmos. If you speak to someone who studies numerology they will tell you that there is an uncanny relationship between numbers and words.
