The Bigger Apple

Apple Inc.'s second quarter net income of $1.21 billion, or $1.33 a share, compared to $1.05 billion, or $1.16 a share posting revenue of $8.16 billion, up from $7.51 billion in the year-ago quarter. Apple sold 2.22 million Macintosh computers the company sold 11.01 million iPods during the quarter, iPhone units sold were 3.79 million, a 123 percent unit growth over the year-ago quarter.

Numbers only have meaning when related to words; in Hebrew each letter has an accompanied number so each word has a sum—called gematria. Numbers are indicators that by themselves mean nothing. Even those things which exist beyond the scope of numbers are only a fraction of creation.

The apple which is famous for the creation story has the Name of God implicit within its form through the intertwining of the Y/10, H/5, V/6, H/5, in the form of ten seeds in five pockets, a stem which looks like a Vav and five petal flower on the bottom of the apple representing the final Hey/5.

The YHVH, the Four Letter Name of God is the first representation of the Creator wanting to express kindness in the world, according to the Midrash-Book of Metaphor.
