Gematria is an ancient code that was used by certain cultures to interpret words, phrases and numerical values. It is believed to have originated in the Jewish Kabbalah – a set of mystic teachings and beliefs completed by Rabbi Isaac Luria – in the 16th century.
Gematria has its roots in the Greek alphabet. In Hebrew, each letter has a numerical equivalent and once this numerical value is obtained, gematria helps readers interpret its hidden meaning. The number 0 represents perfection, 1 stands for unity, 2 signifies duality and so forth up to 10.
Additionally, words with the same numerical value can be linked together by gematria to form meaningful connections between them. Therefore, gematria demands only a thorough knowledge of the Hebrew alphabet but also sophisticated skills at connecting similar words together across contexts. This allows complex ideas to be quickly understood using the minimum number of words possible.
Moreover, Gematrio uses several calculation methods such as 'absolute' means where only one letter's worth is calculated; 'relative' means where each letter's worth is added up; 'searching' deals with finding similar words; and 'reductionist' refers to cutting back a long word into its essential parts and applying multiple calculations methods over those parts until a single word prevails that encompasses the original idea.
Besides being used as a code for interpreting religious texts, Gematrio finds its meaning in many other metaphorical applications as well: for example in recognizing a pattern in someone's life based on various gematrio readings or seeking answers from spiritual guides using this method. Moreover, some people also find it amusing to look for any mysterious associations between seemingly randomly chosen numbers upon delving into the emergent mysteries of Gematrio codes!
