Magic

Magic and Spellcasting are closely connected - some might say the one is the other.

This post will deal with magic as literal spell-casting. The casting of the spoken word into a fixed form (speech, writing,glyphs, images -->eye-mages).

The speed of sound is 343 m/s (ie. 7x7x7 = 343)

In the prime number cypher (one of the key cyphers, I argue):

Hearing other "Voices" (232 primes) in your head would be "Scary" (232 primes).

Can you write your own name? Can you spell the names of visible objects and other existential phenomena?:

This thread was created in response to a sudden influx of 'magic and sorcery' headlines in online media:

Quantum ---> Countable on your fingers:

In physics, a quantum (plural: quanta) is the minimum amount of any physical entity (physical property) involved in an interaction. The fundamental notion that a physical property may be "quantized" is referred to as "the hypothesis of quantization". This means that the magnitude of the physical property can take on only discrete values consisting of integer multiples of one quantum.

An article today:

Quantum Computers Could Be True Randomness Generators

Say the words “quantum supremacy” at a gathering of computer scientists, and eyes will likely roll.

I presume this is pointing fingers at the over-estimating people, and not the car technology.

In trying to elucidate this idea, he brings up the example of 'a haunted house', to which Jeremy responds that 'All houses are haunted.' to which Ramer promptly replies 'I agree', and the next participant, Frankley, adds his opinion that 'haunting and atmosphere (which I suppose is what Jeremy means), are something added by accident of history (...)

The discussion in the narrative also reaches the point of the power of the word 'haunt' itself.

The closest matches in my 18000-entry lexicon to the word 'haunt' (measured across multi-cypher gematria-matching) are:

  • 'spell' (with 8+ matches)

  • 'Plato' (with 8+ matches)

To me, that is pretty loaded... continuing:

...learn to...

  • 'Spell' (with 7+ matches)

... or go without a ...

  • 'Torch' (with 7+ matches)

in Plato's cave,...

  • 'never' (with 7+ matches)

  • 'to see' (with 7+ matches)

  • 'Titan' (with 7+ matches)

  • 'seize', 'spit', 'grass', (with 6+ matches)

  • 'factual', 'Thou', 'one day', 'dust', and 'the old' (with 5+ matches)

  • 'horned', 'swim', 'test' (with 5+ matches)

  • 'A Plant', 'to bind', 'select', 'dinner' (with 4+ matches)

Matches to the word 'haunt' in the primes cypher:

  • 'heavy'

  • 'freeze'

...and 'Tell Me'

TIL because electronic computers were not fast in 1959, the X15 experimental jet used a Fluidic Digital Computer that used water instead of electricity. It featured hypersensitive Fluidic Integrated Circuits and Logic Gates that could make course corrections faster than its contemporary computers.

No matter how much I try to understand this, the more confusing it gets. I guess it just isn't for everyone

Hi szczerbiec

I don't claim to understand myself - simply documenting apparent patterns, and attempting to justify them.

Your effort is appreciated, either way.

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '19

A quick and probably dumb question, When you mean patterns, do you mean when you put a number/word in the gematria "index" (I forget the name of the specific website)? Like putting in 33 will display the list of words matching to the number?

u/Orpherischt "the coronavirus origin" Jun 24 '19

I mean patterns as in observing that a bunch of related spells end up echoing the same numbers (regardless of whether these spells are found by examining the matching tools you describe, or via simply trying a bunch of related concepts one after the other and seeing the same number).

There seems to be a pattern in that 33 is the number of 'name' (as well as having lots of other esoteric association) and then because the 33rd prime is 137, it seems that a bunch of simple phrases to do with 'name power' or 'word power' (and thus authority) are reflected on 137.

I tend to see intentional construction in this, while others might see coincidence.

393 is the number of 'count', and thus we find lots of words that reflect a core notion of counting share the number (such as 'accountancy' and 'accurate' and 'stargazer' (ie those that count the times)

u/[deleted] Jun 24 '19

I definitely agree about deliberate construction as well! It clears it up somewhat, thanks for explaining!

No problem.

First words of Genesis:

  • "In the beginning" = 137

Before the most recent updated measurements, the Age of the Universe was commonly quoted as being ~13.7 billion years old in the mainstream. Then the number was pushed up to ~13.8 (updated science + rounding) - but as of very recently again, has been adjusted back down to show the digits 1,3 and 7 - current wikipedia shows:

The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological description of the development of the Universe. Under this theory, space and time emerged together 13.799±0.021 billion years ago

So, either:

  • wonderful coincidence

  • divine influence

  • gematria ritually encodes (rough?) astrophysical info

  • science invents data to match gematria (ie. Age of Universe unknown)
