The
Lost Greek Arts of
Isopsephia, Gematria, and the Sacred Geometry Story
Concerning
mathemeticians, soothsayers, and similar evildoers: The study
and teaching of the science of geometry is in the public interest,
but who so ever practices the damnable art of mathematical divination
shall be put to the stake.

Juris Civilis, Codex Justinianus, Book IX, XVIII, 2,3 (circa 650
AD.)
The
reason of how and why isopsephia, gematria, and sacred geometry
were invented is easy to understand as soon as one sees how the
ancient Greeks incorporated numbers into their alphabet. The art
of Gematria combined the literary skills of writing biographies,
histories, plays, parables, riddles, and fiction with cutting
edge mathematics, geometry and drafting. Using gematria, incredible
stories could be crafted into geometry puzzles that could be proved
true, much like a geometry proof, provided that the gematria value
of certain key names, words, dialog, and verses were carefully
crafted to match and describe the dimensions of its underlying
diagram.
Plato was one
of the earliest Greek philosophers who used mathematical allegories
in two of his most important works, The Republic and Timeaus. To
date, no ancient documents have been discovered that explain the
secret meaning Plato's work. Other literary works based on the art
of gematria and sacred geometry must have existed but no examples
were thought to have survived to modern times.
The very word
"gematria" is missing from many large dictionaries and
when a definition can be found, the explanation is either wrong
or partially correct. The mere mention of "Sacred Geometry"
or "Gematria" elicits a derisive snort, raised eyebrows,
rolled eyes, a shake of the head side to side, a suppressed smile,
or a blank stare from virtually every Doctor or Professor of Religion
today. However, at the time the gospels were written in the first
century AD,
the influence of gematria and Sacred Geometry was pervasive. Doesn't
it make sense to at least look at new ideas and evidence with an
open mind rather than to summarily dismiss it out of hand?
Although gematria
existed hundreds of years before Christianity, it seems to have
reached its zenith in the latter part of the first century AD and
then disappeared in the short span of about one generation before
the last book of the New Testament was written. Chapter 1 will introduce
you to the literary techniques used by the anonymous authors who
wrote the gospels of the New Testament to transform Jesus and other
characters into circles with circumferences equal to the gematria
value of their names that moved on a special graph in sync to the
imagery of their stories. This book will show how these gematria
masters used their graphs to literally raise Jesus from his tomb
and craft a mythology that changed the history of the world. This
book will reveal that the best examples of ancient Greek gematria
and Sacred Geometry were always hidden away in plain sight in the
Greek New Testament.
