A Language in English Numerology, and the Number 38

Gematria is a part of the Qabalah that uses the numerical value of words to find deeper meaning in these words and their relationships. This was done with Hebrew using a preconceived set of values for each letter. Using this method, Gematria, in English is a very interesting and profound way of revealing the intricate patterns that exists in numbers behind our language. The most basic systems for English are what I'll refer to as the 1-26 method, where A=1, B=2...Z=26, and the 1-9 method, where A=1, I=9, J=1, R=9, S=1, z=8(Tables provided below) but there are numerous other codexs with different values ascribed to each letter. Hollywood is full of Qabalistic symbolism, and it's interest only seems to be growing lately. Secret societies seem to latch on to this as a symbolic form of communication or understanding. Indeed the Occult, the Masons, and the Holy Roman Church all seem to have intense interest in this archaic practice.



At this point I will address the question of a deliberate design with an explanation of the number 38. By 1-9 method and 1-26-

English=38 and 74

Gematria=38 and 74

Change=29 and 38

Death=20 and 38

New life=38 and 74

The concept of Death implies the destruction that precedes new creation, change. A constant cyclical flow is at work where new life can be formed out of the left-over carcasses of the past. English has for some part been nitpicked word by word to create an official language and official spellings, but for the most part is has evolved naturally, words forming, disassembling, reassembling, words combining, words formed from sounds, all happening in the chaotic imagination of men and women. English and Gematria both equal 38. The English language itself and this practice are synonymous to the ever flowing and constantly changing nature of death. Every year words from our language are slung into the incinerator, banished from our language. Some manage to seep out of consciousness simply because they aren't relevant anymore. Society makes up words every day to try and attach a worthy name to the indescribable world we have before us. There is far more meaning to the construction of our words than many understand. Numerical values exist as a guide for us to understand the archetypes prevalant in the human psyche. This is the opposite theory to our language was created with a secret code built-in. Both are true. However you choose to interpret the existence of this Numerical Language, it is a vital part of humanity's art.
