Isopsephia

Isopsehia is the practice of adding up the number values of Greek letters in a word to form a single number.

A number is associated with each letter of the Greek Alphabet, and the sum value obtained for a word or sentence can be used to make mystic and mathematical associations between different words and concepts.

Below are my favourites:

In ancient greek..
- Meditation and Wisdom equal to 781
- Fire and Courage share the same mathematical value of 580
- The saying "God of my heart" would be 1708 which is numerically equalent to SOUL.
- Knowledge and Power share the same value
- In Greek "creation" and "cycle" share the value 740.
- It is interessting to observe Law, Mathematics, and Number share the value 430.
- "Man", and "Nature" share a value of 1310.

Where is the fine line between coincidence and fate??

It may be debated whether these synchronicities of isopsephia arise from chance, human ingenuity, or divine inspiration. Perhaps all three are responsible in different instances...

Also:
S. Ohno has cracked a new genetic code. The 58-year-old geneticist sets the genes to music - or music to genes - some strange and wonderful things occur. The SARC oncogene, a malignant gene first discovered in chickens, causes cancer in humans as well. When Ohno translated the gene into MUSIC, it sounded very much like Chopin's Funeral March.

Hhhmmm..
