Gematria Debunked By The Letter S

Yes, it really is that simple. Just one letter. Not an S Exception cipher but the exceedingly common letter itself.




There are two main ways to fudge the numbers. Change the wording or manipulate the result directly, like 5903 is really 777 because it's the 777th prime number.


I've overused the word manipulation. It's more fun and leads to more interesting results. Here's my chance to address both number and word manipulation simultaneously. One simple letter can change a word from being a mismatch with its antonym to being synchronized with it.


Why? It hasn't happened too often but a couple times I've seen it suggested that antonyms are actually a match because of dichotomy. Maybe this point isn't pressed since the copying and pasting of headlines proves that substitution of the opposite word changes the meaning completely, but the same numerology is there. GUILTY vs. INNOCENT. Both equal 94 in the simple original system. That alone is proof enough that gematria can't work for an open minded person. But, let's do something a little different.


The mere existence of the reduction elisions is fudging the numbers. Now, instead of 26 different distinct values there are only nine. Use of an entire news headline or bits highlighted by quotation marks almost always are reduced. The numbers in simple are just too big, so let's fudge them downward to a number that's easier to match.


I don't spend a lot of time with reduction antonyms; it's just way too easy. But here's a chance to emphasize the weakness of limiting the identity of letters from 26 values to nine. In the original reduction, S =1. In reverse S=8. I'll also touch upon 'D' later, but S is the best. Now, what to do with it.


It's easy to change the value of a noun by pluralizing it. Add an s to and ZEBRAS are the same animal(s). But there aren't good antonyms in the noun world. What is the opposite of a zebra? You can argue based on common usage that LION and LAMB are opposites, but you'll ultimately fail by application of the lamprey argument. They aren't true opposites. No, the best antonyms are verby. (A convenient rhyme for a future limerick maybe, "Detective Eames played by Kathryn Erbe....")


Now grammatically I can add an s, change the values and retain the opposite meaning. To a lesser extent, this applies to 'D'. Love/Loved vs. Hate/Hated. That's 4 vs. 5 instead of 1 vs. 8. S is a lot easier to work with.


An antonym of LOVE is LOATHE. After HATE it's probably high on most people's list of LOVE antonyms after durping in the LO pattern at the beginning.


LOVE = 18, 18
LOATHE = 25, 29
No match. Good job evil cabal.


Now add the S


LOVES =19, 26*
LOATHES = 26*, 37


Bad, cabal. Stupid, evil and thoroughly confusing cabal. So your telling me, that by addition of a single letter to the same words, they change whether they are synched or not? Words that probably should not be synched can be or can't be depending on who's talking?


I love you. I loathe you. If you just do the gematria of the verb, no match. Now use a pronoun or pick a name. I'll choose one COMPLETELY at random. Jenna loves you. Jenna loathes you. Now they are synched. Oh, but that's a phrase. When would you do gematria on just the one word? You've inherited the whole language with your logically bankrupt scheme. Pick out the verb in the first of those four sentences. Love. One word.


As far as our language being a receptacle for hidden numbers, this kind of thing proves that it can't be so. There's absolutely no reasoning between what this works on other than the math of 1 vs. 8, nothing to do with the words themselves. Here's a couple more this works on: SOOTHE/ANNOY, EXHUME/INTER. I can and will find more. A sensible secret code would have it work universally across all examples. But gematria doesn't make sense, so LOVE/HATE and LOVES/HATES doesn't work. The only use I can find for this is explaining why my dog loves me, but at times annoys the fuck out of me.
