The following is an excerpt from my book in progress
Simple(6,74) English(7,74) Gematria(8,74) and GOD=7_4
ἀεὶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ μέγας γεωμετρεῖ = 3,1,4,1,5,9: the first six digits of pi 3.14159
In researching the history of Greek isopsephy/isophsephia (gematria) - the alphanumeric quality of a language - we are pointed to Pythagoras, the Pythagoreans, and Plato. There is an ancient Greek motto encoded by Plato:
"God is ever a geometer" (ἀεὶ ὁ Θεὸς ὁ μέγας γεωμετρεῖ), whereas, counting the letters of the words (3,1,4,1,5,9) reveals the first six digits of
pi 3.14159. This confirms that 'Step 1' of Greek gematria was/is simply counting the number of letters in a word/name/phrase with that number having connections and symbolic meaning(
7), and that 'Step 2' is the alphanumeric sum of a word/name/phrase with that number having connect
74ions and symbolic meaning. Hebrew, Arabic, and English gematrias also use these Steps 1 & 2, i.e. Liberty(7) Bell(4) and John(4) Hancock(7).
July 4th = 7/4 and GOD(3)=7_4. The simple fact that the words 'GOD' and 'One' have three letters and Christians traditionally think of the
One GOD as the
Holy(4)
Trinity(7) is no 'coincidence'!
“Mere words of natural significance fail to interpret spiritual ideas unless a figurative meaning is added to them. By type and symbol alone can the essence of truth be conveyed. In myth and parable the poet, prophet and religious leader in all times present to us the realizations of their spiritual sense."

"It is upon the manipulation of Hebrew letters through their numerical values that much of magic is based" -

spell we cast a
