Ron: "Gematrically speaking, *13* is the number of Unity, not 1. 9 is the number of "Foundation", the precursor to 10, "Kingdom" or the structured completion." Steve: I feel sure it would be a benefit to some of us beginners if you would give a run down of the Gematrical significance to each of the numbers, (say through 22?). I'm a newbie to the arts we discuss her here on the forum. I see attaining an essential knowledge of the Gematrical values as an indispensible tool for my progress to enlightenment. It would also be very nice to hear just how many fundamental systems there are for number corelation. I realize the endless numeric relations that can be 'charted'. But would you please teach us the 'building blocks' of number corelation? For instance, you have pointed out the Gematrical system as being one distinct system of itself with its own order. Could you point out a list of others? And if it is too much to give a littel of each system, would you give one or two for us? Meekly, steve
