Numerological Systems

 

In Gematria, each letter of the alphabet is assigned a corresponding numerical value, and the sum of the numerical values of the letters in a word or phrase is believed to hold esoteric or symbolic significance. Through this system, practitioners of Gematria can explore the hidden meanings and relationships between words, names, and concepts.

In the Hebrew alphabet, each letter is assigned a numerical value, usually from 1 to 400.

In the Greek Gematria system, each letter of the Greek alphabet is assigned a numerical value. Here are the Greek letters and their corresponding numerical values:

Α (Alpha)1
Β (Beta)2
Γ (Gamma)3
Δ (Delta)4
Ε (Epsilon)5
Ϝ (Digamma)6
Ζ (Zeta)7
Η (Eta)8
Θ (Theta)9
Ι (Iota)10
Κ (Kappa)20
Λ (Lambda)30
Μ (Mu)40
Ν (Nu)50
Ξ (Xi)60
Ο (Omicron)70
Π (Pi)80
Ϙ (Qoppa)90
Ρ (Rho)100
Σ (Sigma)200
Τ (Tau)300
Υ (Upsilon)400
Φ (Phi)500
Χ (Chi)600
Ψ (Psi)700
Ω (Omega)800

For example, the Greek word "Logos" (meaning "word" or "reason")

would have a numerical value of 373, calculated as follows:

Λ (Lamda) = 30
Ο (Omicron) = 70
Γ (Gamma) = 3
Ο (Omicron) = 70
Σ (Sigma) = 200

Total = 30 + 70 + 3 + 70 + 200 = 373

This numerical value of 373 for the word "Logos" is believed to hold symbolic and esoteric significance within the Greek Gematria tradition.

Similar numerological systems can be found in various other cultures and belief systems around the world.

The 14th Baktun

The concept of "14 Baktuns" in the Mayan Long Count calendar refers to the period following the completion of the 13th Baktun, which ended on December 21, 2012. The Long Count calendar is a non-repeating system used by the Maya to track time over long periods. It consists of several units, with the Baktun being one of the largest, representing 144,000 days (approximately 394.25 years ) [1] . The confusion surrounding the Mayan Long Count calendar and the transition from the 13th to the 14th Baktun arises from how different sources interpret the significance of December 21, 2012.  End of the 13th Baktun: December 21, 2012 This date was widely publicized and often misinterpreted as an "end of the world" scenario in popular culture.

Giordano Bruno | l'infinito universo

  Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) was an Italian philosopher, mathematician, poet, and astronomer who is renowned for his extensive writings and controversial ideas. He made significant contributions to various fields, including cosmology, philosophy, and the art of memory.

"On the Infinite Universe and Worlds"  (De l'infinito universo et mondi): In this work, published in 1584, Bruno argues for the existence of an infinite universe with an infinite number of inhabited worlds.
