Bible Numerics
It can be demonstrated that the Holy Bible yields such an astounding mathematical pattern as to persuade even the most ardent Bible objector. Among the many proofs available for the divine inspiration of the Bible, the most unexpected would seem to be the field of mathematics.
Mathematical patterns hidden in the pages of the Bible were discovered by the late Ivan Panin (1855-1942) for which he called the phenomenon, "Bible Numerics". Now with the unfolding knowledge and discoveries of our universe in this century alone, a definite pattern can be identified numerically.
The foundation of these numerical patterns rests in the fact that the Hebrew and Greek languages, originally used to write the Bible, share a peculiarity: they have no separate symbols for numbers. Instead they substitute the letters of their alphabets for numbers. Therefore to represent a number 1 in Greek, the letter alpha is used, and for 2 the letter beta is used.
Freemasonry
http://www.msana.com/hf.htmlFreemasonry is essentially a way to get more insight in yourself. Symbolism is heavily incorporated into the practice. Freemasonry has much in common with other forms of spiritual practice, but the important difference consists in the working method which is characterized by the use of rituals and symbols in the Lodge.
Gematria/Geomath matrix/Gematrian numbers
http://www.inner.org/gematria/gemexamp.htmAll the letters of the Greek and Hebrew alphabets have numbers assigned to them (unlike English). Gematria is "working" those letter-numbers in words and phrases. Gematria is the calculation of the numerical equivalence of letters, words, or phrases, and, on that basis, gaining, insight into interrelation of different concepts and exploring the interrelationship between words and ideas.
Kabbalah
http://www.inner.org/channel/modern.htmIt is well known that different kinds of classifications and numerology (as symbolical and non-mathematical operations with numbers and geometrical structures) play extremely important role in various systems of the Jewish mystical tradition (i.e. Kabbalah).
I-Ching
http://weber.ucsd.edu/~dkjordan/chin/hbcanonru-u.html http://www.friesian.com/confuci.htm http://acc6.its.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~phalsall/chinbib.htmlI Ching readings are a form of
stichomancy: Stichomancy is the practice of seeking metaphysical insight into the world by reading a random passage from a book. Three coins are cast, or, the yarrow sticks are divided, and the result is referenced in the I Ching or "Book of Changes", one of Confucianism's Five Classics. The selected passages convey information and philosophy that pertains to the life of the questioner.
