> don't question us using gematria for millennia (or so we allege) to assign numerical values to each and every "word" you're using to communicate your beliefs To what end? Seems as you point out it is used to communicate Masonic-like messages to the other cultists. Yet Gematria seems like it could even be a low-level abstraction of English for the purpose of perhaps engineering it or controlling it and redefining it. Could also be used for high-level aggregation ie- summing words into a sort of score in whereby certain scores serve as thresholds or warning flags that give insights to operatives on potential actions to take. I'm almost certain there is a programmer in Tel Aviv right now tweaking software code to ouptut a Gematria-like score of given target's social media/comments/articles to help pre-emptively identify 'anti-semitism' or perhaps more useful: level of engangement in propaganda topics so they can evalutate & adapt/further refine their propaganda systems to increase said engagement; to systematically increase these Gematria-metrics to their favor (and to please the boss during weekly review).
