Unlocking the Hidden: The Power of Gematria
Gematria is more than a system—it’s a key. A method of assigning numerical values to words and phrases to reveal the unseen, the sacred, and the deeply personal. It traces its origins to ancient Babylon, where it was used for divination, astrology, and mystical insight. Later adopted by the Greeks and the Hebrews, gematria became a spiritual technology—a way of decoding divine messages embedded in language.
But let’s be clear: Gematria is not Numerology.
While both systems use numbers to interpret meaning, they serve different purposes:
Numerology
- Focuses on names, birthdates, and personal details
- Seeks to define personality traits, life paths, and future trends
- Often reduces numbers to single digits for clarity and prediction
Gematria
- Delves into sacred texts, spiritual writings, and language itself
- Assigns numerical values to each letter based on alphabetical position
- Explores hidden meanings and divine patterns within words
Where Numerology predicts, Gematria reveals.
And this act of revelation makes gematria an essential pillar of The 47 Experience.
Many years ago, during my research into the 2012 Mayan calendar and the global spiritual awakening, I stumbled upon a reference to gematria. The concept struck a chord. I was curious, drawn in, compelled to learn more. That search led me to www.gematrix.org, a gematria calculator offering three systems: Hebrew Gematria, English Gematria, and Simple Gematria.
I began entering words, phrases, names—seeking, testing, listening.
And then, I entered my own name:
Peter Cardenas
- In Hebrew Gematria, it equaled 474
- In English Gematria, it equaled 774
The numbers hit me like a revelation.
47 was there—embedded in my name, my identity. Not a coincidence. A confirmation.
A divine fingerprint.
In that moment, I knew: this number was connected to me in a sacred way.
This wasn’t just research anymore. It was a calling.
A message.
A mission.
Welcome to The 47 Experience.
Where numbers speak.
Where hidden meanings rise to the surface.
Where belief unlocks vision.
And where every step you take reveals another layer of divine order.
The 47 Experience is not about superstition or theory—
it’s about decoding the language of God in your life.
And gematria help me see that.
Let the numbers guide you.
Let the truth be revealed.
Let the 47 within you awaken.
