Gematria expert Carl Munck asked
, “Is gematria one of those fragmentary ancient sciences which
the longer we probe, the less we understand? Academia would just as soon be rid of it for that veryreason. Yet, we have an enormous body of evidence to indicate that the ancient Greeks, Egyptians,Persians, Babylonians, and Romans were enormously involved with these very same numbers, many of which even found their way into their metrological systems thereby becoming units of weights and
measures.”
Indeed, the ancient people seem to have linked numbers with not only measurement, butwith language, color, sound, even frequency.Measurement is only one facet to the number, and our
problem is that we’ve taken a multi
-
dimensional object, placed it onto a single plane, and said, “This isall this is.”

The first picture, from gematria interpretator Daniel Gleason, shows the geometric representationof the triune God, using the numeric values of the three main Greek Gods. The diagram notably
features the Vesica Piscis or “measure of the fish,”
1 x the square root of 2 (153) by 2 x the squareroot of 3 (265), both holy numbers in Christianity. The crop circle on the right, from July 20, 2008,shows a variation of this figure, which according tothis essay portrays the mathematical
significance of 153 and the Biblical Parable of the Fish, complete with net.
In accordance with these ancient sciences, I found several layers of significance in January 23,2011; the date of the first formation. Eleven is a master number for numerologists, generally signifying
transformation and illumination.It is the number of intuition, psychic ability, and other higher powers.An apt symbolism
is to imagine the “11” as two spiraling strands of DNA “reaching upwards,” unlocking
hidden potential. This synchronizes with many predictions for the Winter Solstice of 2012 being a period
of great personal transformation, where human beings choose to either take the next step in theirdevelopment or take a step back, leading to a new Golden Age.This solstice, the long-discussed and ever-controversial December 21, 2012, will occur at 11:11a.m.At a time of great change in my life, and long before knowing anything tangible about the Maya or2012, I frequently began seeing 11:11 on clocks around the house, so much so that I researched to see if others had experienced the same phenomena. I was amazed to find an enormous number of people
noting strange events occurring in conjunction with this repetition of numbers. The stories have agenerally cohesive thread, put succinctly by Ellie Crystal of www.crystalinks.com:
“11:11 or de
rivativesof these numbers, 111 and 11, are digits that repeat in time thus a metaphor for reality as patterns that
