Lately I've had a couple very brief posts with a single pair of words with opposite meanings. I can just picture Gematria fans saying in a debate that they don't mean a thing.
Yes, they do. They most certainly do. So, as my readership increases and new readers might wonder what is going on I'll take a bit of time to explain exactly why.
Certainly any new person playing around generating numbers from words will find lots of matches that don't make sense unless bizarre circumstances arise. Uvula and Van Halen both equal 77. Uvula itself is hard to come by in everyday conversation. Maybe both that and Van Halen will show up in the same crossword puzzle. I'm not aware of anyone having 'uvular' cancer, but maybe Eddie will overwork his vocal chords....who knows. But as gematria has zero value as a predictive tool we're just stuck with this meaningless pairing of value. This value matching occurs in phrases, too. 'Iced tea with lemon' and 'toy train set' both equal 166.
77 was chosen on purpose as this is also the value of 'Christ.' Repeated ad nauseum in the blogs and video commentary. Most often paired with a different generation of 77 like a date or sports' statistic instead of another word or phrase.
One of the rules, that is never explained is that 77 always means Christ when they mention it. Never uvula. Jesus H. Van Halen, why the fuck not? Just take it on faith that this is just the way it is. Because, as they phrase it in various different ways, these numbers have been coded into our language by some ultra powerful vague force. You are just a rookie and misinterpreting the info.
However, these vague and powerful forces have let slip words that are not just confusing in regards to each other. There are even direct and clear antonyms of each other. Not surprisingly, the number of antonyms increased when they brought up the magical revelation of the reverse system. Because they wanted more numbers to play with and ignore the mismatches. What is there to misinterpret about opposites? Zero, zip, zilch, nihil, effus, Diddlysquat.
Once I found that 'true' and 'bogus' both equaled 64 and I knew these vague powers in control of our language were rather incompetent I have been looking for more antonyms. The preceding posts and these here are all just in simple and reverse. Trust me, matching reduced values and finding antonyms is so easy Gromk the Caveman could do it.
Open/Closed=58
Thorough/Incomplete=112
Scatter/Gather=103
Genius/Moron=75
Healthy/Sickly=79
Home/Abroad=41
Master/Slave=76*
Orbital/Planetary=112
Boy /Female=42
and one not true antonym, but just confusing
Quart/Ounce=58 this could depend on whether the container is open or closed.
*Watch for 76 - this is frequently used as Slave is among their litany of derogatory terms for black people, regardless of the fact that they are hardly the only race to have been enslaved.
I was amused at the existence of a video where some pros debated some skeptics. I'm sure the skeptics were not properly prepared with enough specifics. I didn't watch it...three hours of insanity is more than I can bear. If I were involved in such a debate these antonyms would certainly be brought up. I won't get involved in such a debate. Debate implies a rational argument over a topic that has credible pros and cons. Like capital punishment or abortion. Debating someone that thinks 37=165 is pointless and absurd. Especially when they have gone to such grew lengths to manufacture numeric connections.
I won't bother posting more antonyms as I find them. Unless they actually use one in a presentation and I see fit to mock them.
Great stuff!
