This program is a simple device that accepts text input from the user
and outputs a numerical value using the following process:
The text is broken into individual characters and each character is converted into a number depending on its position in the English alphabet. For example, if you input an "A" the program returns a value "1" as the total. A "z" will return a 26, and so on. Capitals and lowercase letters have the same value, and digits hold their own value, so if you enter a "9," the program will return a "9" as its output.
All punctuation and spaces, etc. are assigned a value of zero, so the only important characters are the letters and numbers themselves. The program then takes all the values of the characters in the string and adds them up. For example, the word "the" returns a "33" because T=20, H=8 and E=5, and 20+8+5=33. Got it? You can input strings of 150 characters maximum. I find the results of this program to be astounding, and hopefully you will agree.
When the program is started, it asks you to enter the name of a data file. This file contains a chart of the words you enter and their equivalent numerical value. Every time you run the program, it creates a new data file. After a few times using the program, you will see that it is a good idea to hold on to your data so you can compare stuff you find out later, or even enter the results into a database and sort it. It will blow your mind when you have a fairly large collection of words and you get it all organized.
You might wonder why you would want to waste your time with a program like this when there are so many video games and interesting telecommunications programs out there. Well, I'll let you draw your own conclusions regarding the data you collect, and I hope that you will find the same inspiration that I have. I'm not really sure why I got hooked on this in the first place, but it seems like it is worth studying, and it's more than I can handle myself. Hopefully if I can spread it far enough around the Internet, someone will help me find the key.
This program was inspired by the basic concept of numerology, the science that relates special numbers in your life to special meanings and messages that the universe is supposed to hold for you. I don't really know much about numerology, and this program does not follow the same process as the numerology books tell you to.
Clearly stated, this is NOT a numerology program. Although it is similar, it does not yield results that are compatible with standard concepts of numerology.
Numerology is based only on the numbers 0-9, but this program is based on the numbers 1-26, or the numbers corresponding to the letters of the alphabet. I wonder if it is a coincidence that the program returns a value of "26" for "God." Yeah, that's sort of what I'm getting at...
To understand the true purpose of this program, you have to know a little bit about me, because I programmed it. I'll try to keep this as short as possible, so you can get started. My name is John Gray. I was born on 12/12/73. I live at a house named "47." I moved there from a house named "38," where we had a boat and an ocean in our front yard. I love rocks, I always have. Crystals, especially-people say that they have Magical powers or something. I don't think it's really magic, it's just that they're more than we're used to dealing with. A quartz crystal can transfer massive amounts of energy and information, I know that. Just look inside your radio, or your cel-phone. Well, I have a special crystal that I don't know what to do with, but it is called a "record keeper," and the person who gave it to me was very mysterious when she said "you will know what to do with it, someday. One day when I was looking at it (the more you stare, the more you see), I got to thinking about numbers. I've always been sort of a mathematician, and I've been fascinated with numbers since I was a child. They're everywhere.
Well, you know enough about me to get a little bit of what I'm aiming toward. I find that stuff I like or things I do correspond to important numbers in my life like my address or my phone number, but it goes way beyond that. Also, I find that if a number you get doesn't "make sense," you can manipulate it by dividing it in half, or dividing it in half the multiplying it by three, etc. You can manipulate them however you want. Use your imagination. For example, a "214" has a "321" hidden inside it. (214/2)*3=321 Yeah, "321's" and "123's" I find to be pretty cool. You'll find out why in awhile. Also, adding two words together by typing them both in, like "sun moon" or "accept decline" can yield some interesting results.
Well, I can't say enough, but I can't say anything at all, really. I'm pretty dumbfounded at the results I've found using this. Maybe everyone out there except one of you will throw this away. But if you (yeah, that one person) gets a message from this, get in touch. I need some help.
To reach me (the author), you can send me e-mail:

If for some reason you can't contact me via the internet (i.e. closed account), my friend Fitz Gitler (fsgit@conncoll.edu) has graciously volunteered to pass messages along to me.
After you check out these examples, you should come up with your own sources of information for input. Some of the most powerful sources I have found are lyrics from groups like Pink Floyd, Yes, Phish, The Doors, etc... The more confusing or cryptic they seem, the better. However, take that letter there that your friend just sent you. Check it out. You will find that it's interlaced with some pretty interesting patterns. Of course, the Bible and the book of Revelations (the Hebrew alphabet has 22 letters) reveal some pretty intense coincidences. 1 Corinthians chapter 13 is pretty effective. If you feel like you're getting a vibe going, as if the words are being placed into your imagination one after the other, you will begin to notice that each word is connected to the last. I find that the numbers 11,20,22,38,44, 47,67, 86 ,93,94,98,99,121,123,131 are some good ones to look for, but you'll find your own. These are only a few. They will show up as the values output by the program, or as the difference between the word you just typed and the previous word, or as the difference between two opposites or reciprocals. Also, 89 is alot like 68- you have to keep stuff like that in mind. It's handy to have a calculator around so you can move numbers around a little more easily. I'll build a calculator into the next version...
Here is a list of words you should try, just to get the hang of it.
You should print this out and type them in one by one, and then study the data file that is produced. These are just a few "convincers."

Also, I think that this was my idea, it's not copyrighted or anything-you can't copyright an idea like this. But if I'm not the first, well-surprise,surprise-it's news to me.
