I see where your application opens all sorts of possibilities, may even engender enlightenment. For me such things as the weight of the liberty bell hold little interest.
I point out that, from my point of view, when I go to such a web site as The Gematria Calculator, I see pictures of attractive women in bathing clothing - 'eye candy'; I don't condemn that display - please understand - but it just leads my mind in the wrong direction. I am seeking a Spiritual experience not a fleshly distraction.
Your posts are quite long and time consuming - thought provoking to be sure! I am at a late point in life when I need to marshal my time quite critically. Good luck with your interesting pursuits. 😌
The 'Rat Party has survived since the Revolution, defended slavery, gotten us in to two world wars, brought victory to defeat in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan and now lead us into a Chinese global hegemony.
I suggest that such as Donald Trump, Tulsi Gabbard, the House Freedom Caucus and all civil libertarians form a new party! call it what you will! Let someone stand and fight for a Constitutional Republic!
I think I can summarize our differences by your own statement that you are not intested in 'the esoteric'; you apply Gematria to current things, 'secular' things (in my view). My interest is solely in applying the practice to a deeper understanding of Scripture, God's word.
I am not intested in 'the esoteric'. My interest is solely in applying the practice to a deeper understanding of Scripture, God's word which is not complicated.
Unfortunately, detailed is often conflated with complicated or convoluted. Adding up a long list of numbers, for example, involves lots of details and time, but it is a very simple process. A circuit diagram might look like mystical nonsense to those unfamiliar with electricity.

I don't use the site, so I hadn't noticed any pictures of attractive women in bathing clothing. I am interested in spiritual information, which is already more than plentiful in the mundane, "secular" world. The keepers of the official narratives and "proper" channels have no clue about that, so they don't know what is even there for to target and corrupt. Which is to say, the God of Abraham easily outwits the bad actors every time.
The Dark Side lever learns because it already knows everything already.
Religious sites can be jammed up with ads, especially for their own books and study materials. More misdirection, under the color of respectability and godliness. A tell is how many times the word "truth" is plastered on a page. Psychological manipulation 101.

This is a key statement. Please copy it if I may encourage you to do so, and save it somewhere accessible for easy retrieval. There's no critique or sketchy motive in my request (I am making sure this is clear because written words do have their limitations).
Genesis 49
1 And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.
2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father.
