Gematria 101
We live in a Numerical Matrix.
As instruments of self awareness we are used by reality to understand itself. Language discovered us so that reality can realize a piece of itself. We discovered/invented language to help us understand reality. This bridge is what transforms the unconscious to conscious, unknown to known.
This may sound like nonsense at first but my thoughts will soon be made clear. The contents of this text reveals a highly complex, yet simple system that I believe to be the blueprints for the universe. This brings the simulation hypothesis to mind but it will become obvious that it's not quite as simple as a virtual reality created by a computer. But it's not much different than a computer simulation which is why it's a good framework to start with. This is why I will be making references to our reality as “the matrix”, it's a commonly understood term that fits with this general idea.
Numbers rule our universe, but first we need to ask ourselves what exactly is a number? Numbers are not merely a tool for arithmetic. They are not just ideas used for quantification, not just the sum of the previous number plus one. Numbers are abstract entities. Each number has its own distinct identity and essence that makes it unique. One might see numbers as meaningless other than in their practical application, but I would suggest the opposite is true. In a sense, numbers are the only thing in our reality with any objective meaning, everything else is an appearance or representation. This book is based on the premise that numbers can give meaning to a meaningless existence. This starts with observing the numerical structure of language which in turn reveals the numerical structure of reality.
When diving into the numerological matrix one of the most frequently used tools of discovery is Gematria, or alphanumeric ciphers in general. This is one of the basic ways to decode a word and can provide a surface level understanding of its meaning. This technique has long been used to discover mathematical secrets encoded into the Bible which some see as “proof” of its status as a divinely revealed text.
Note: this is the accumulation of centuries of knowledge and deciphering and I don't claim any of this as “my work”.

Based on everything above, the Bible, among other sacred texts and ancient relics such as the Great Pyramid, seems to be encoded with the divine architecture of the cosmos, perhaps to be be used as a manual/blueprint not only spiritually but also mathematically and scientifically. I hope this serves as a nice introduction to gematria for beginners, while also including some intermediate level ideas…cheers -K
