Gematria
A system by which hidden truths and meanings are discovered within words. Each letter of an alphabet corresponds to a number. Numerical values of words are totaled up and then these words are said to correspond with other words sharing the same numerical value.
In Jewish mysticism this is a traditional system of associating numbers with Hebrew letters for the purpose of discovering hidden meanings in words. This is accomplished by systematically associating letters with numbers and then finding other words with similar numbers. These latter words are regarded as comments on the original words. Systems related to the Hebrew implementation of gematria are still used.
It was the Kabbalists, however, who seriously studied gematria and developed it into an art form. The Kabbalists of the 13th century seriously believed that the Old Testament was written in a hidden code inspired by God. They used gematria as one of the chief means by which to decipher this code.
Count Saint Germain 1710-1784
He was born into a noble family of French origin. For reasons of family, state and church, his parents from an early age, put him under the tutelage of a select number of tutors, who at the request of the family avoided making any references to the past of the boy. With the tutors, he learned various languages and the art from the diplomacy. Saint Germain was also instructed in the Arcane (Rosicrucian) Philosophy by one of his tutors. .
Saint Germain traveled to the Orient and Syria where he contacted Initiates of the Fraternity. While he was under the Instruction and guidance of the Anisaireh Brotherhood, he experienced the state of the "Mystical Dream of Sialam". In this state, he could see future events and many of the secrets of nature were revealed to him. His sensitive nature was highly developed.
Count Cagliostro (1748-1795)
One of the Rosicrucians Grand Masters of Europe, France and Italy. He possessed a remarkable capacity to see into the future. His life is a legend for many. He lived during the time of the French revolution. His life was object of infamy and calumny, as frequently ocurred in the history of the Fraternity with many of the true Rosicrucians masters and teachers, who fell the victims of the envy and jealousy of other men not as advanced as them. Frequently those who do not know the true history confuse him with the Giuseppe B?lsamo. He was the most prominent disciple of Count Saint Germain and one of the highest Rosicrucian Initiates from all the history of the Rosicrucians.
The first " FAMA FRATERNITATIS" (1) or the first official document of the Fraternity, in which the existence, principles of the Order and the history of Christian Rosenkreutz are revealed, was written in 1614 by Johann Valentin Andrea.
Six Items of Cosmogony
1. The Secret Doctrine is the accumulated Wisdom of the Ages, and its cosmogony alone is the most stupendous and elaborate system: e.g., even in the exotericism of the Puranas. But such is the mysterious power of Occult symbolism, that the facts which have actually occupied countless generations of initiated seers and prophets to marshal, to set down and explain, in the bewildering series of evolutionary progress, are all recorded on a few pages of geometrical signs and glyphs.
