As an extreme numbers geek I do enjoy busting upon the numerical side. But as Gematria is this convoluted marriage of words and numbers and my vocabulary is top notch I am allowed to point out the words themselves are a problem before numbers enter the picture.
Somebody or something with a helluva lot of power and influence created this system. When it happened is not very clear. As a rough reference point, it has to pre-date the Bible. Other than sports and entertainm it's the top go to source of "cool" numbers. Like 666.
The language in the text of the Bible is "coded" with sacred geometry. And almost all texts of any sort after ar coded with it. Now apparently son text is miscoded, such as flat Earth. Which texts are not, be it cereal box ingredients, Japanese haiku or what is not clear. Whether the coding post-Bible was pre -ordained by some very non-specific immensely powerful beings that could foresee the Internet era is not clear.
But, here we have this language we are using that every word, or not every word, (have I mentioned 'not clear', yet?) has a numerical depth to it. Even the simplest words are used. If a newspaper headline pops up that says, "It's a sad day in lacrosse" the exact phrase gets gematrified, so even "a" and "in" are part of the equation. Yes, they use phrases all the time instead of just words. When this started or if part of some needlessly complicated master plan before language was written down the first time is not clear.
Since I purposefully used the word clear a lot let's begin there. English is, well, a pretty fucked language. Clear can be transparent. Or removed from clutter, like clearing a table. These immensely powerful entities didn't see fit to give us a new word like "Clerclut" and a gematria warning label that says, "Do not use clear if you mean it in the sense of clearing clutter". They just saddled us with both meanings. Thanks you cosmic cocksuckers.
And in their near infinite power and apparent near infinite lack of wisdom (yep, again, not clear) we have what are called contranyms.
A contranym is a self-contradictory word. Even the name is a problem. Thanks, cosmic selectively impotent douchebags, like lots of words it has an acceptable alternate spelling if contronym.
I found a rather impressive list of contranyms. Some I argue with. I don't have the time or need to list them all. If you like that kind of stuff you can Google it. Here are a couple of examples.
Left. Elvis has left the building and only his entourage is left behind. Elvis is gone. Entourage remains.
Sanction. The UN imposed sanctions on Iran's nuclear program and sanctions more peaceful research into development of new synthetic material for yoga pants.
The difference in the meaning is determined by the context. You lose that when you turn it into a number. There's no gematria warning label that says, "You can't use sanction in gematria, it leads to ambiguous results".
And by happy coincidence, with the death of Roger Moore yesterday I get to use a purely gematria contranym that is quite believable. I did my homework on this for my Nancy Drool motel story. 'No rooms' and 'rooms' both total 80. Any five letter word that is negated by 'no' turns the ordinal if 80 to the reverse ordinal value of 80. Hubbard's story specifically mentions Moors as the common name used for Muslims. Moors is an anagram of rooms. It should be slapped with a warning label. Do not use Moors in gematria. People could get killed.
My example that follows is no more of a stretch of imagination than a lot if the things we are supposed to believe when reading these blogs and watching these videos.
The king is surrounded by Moors. He dispatches a messenger with a message coded in gematria. "Moors outside the castle walls.". The receiving party ignores it because he read it as "No Moors".
Still waiting for a list of rules. Until then I hve to believe that my interpretation of language and numbers makes a hell of a lot more sense.
