What is the formula?
How far into the sequence did you check?
Also, 377/233 isn't exactly phi. It's close, but only to 4 or 5 decimal places, so how close does it have to be to count?
edit... Looking into it further, it appears the ratio of sequential numbers in the Fibonacci sequence converges to phi as the sequence approaches infinity, so how would you use phi to pick specific numbers out of the sequence. In other word's, what's the formula?

"God is said to have created the world through Ten Utterances, marked by the number of times Genesis states, “And God said.” Upon scrutiny, there are only nine, but the Kabbalists count the first verse: “In the Beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth.” (Genesis 1:1) This is because something was created, which parallels what happens every time “And God said” is stated."

What was the message?
I've always thought that Moses, Abraham, David and Solomon were symbolic, rather than real people

If this is true, post your methodology and results. Like show me what number equaled what and how you possibly equated intelligible words out of numbers in a definite sequence.

The message is a sequence of Biblical Hebrew words. The first few ones are eerily close to words that can describe Moses. I am not a Biblical Hebrew scholar or theologian, but that is what I found. I would hope that someone would read this and feel inspired to replicate my findings.

Wow, that sounds fascinating, and I like the idea of opening a black hole in your mind.
While I'm at work, I have to sort documents all day, and put them into batches. I almost always use fibonacci numbers to determine the size of batches, one batch has 8 documents, another 13, 21, 34, and so on.
I'm always amazed at how often I am able to be left with batches of all fibonacci numbers (higher than 8 or so, because obviously I could make batches of 1 or 2 documents).
The idea that I could be opening a "black hole" in my mind while doing this is intriguing, and I will continue to ponder this idea as I go about my work.
Thanks!
