γενεσθαι adds 3 + 5 + 50 + 5 + 200 + 9 + 1 + 10 = 373. It is the aorist infinitive of γενω, I am born, become etc. I am not quite sure about the Hebrew equivalent; the root GN is the important thing. Sanscrit [sic] JAN to be born. The point is that this root includes the idea of KNOW as Gnosis, Cognizance, etc. Gentle; Gentile, Ingenious, Gonorrhoea; it's all the same idea.
Tao is a pretty good equivalent, so far as anything can be so; but Tao isn't a motto.
I expect to be here till about August 4, then N.Y. for a day or two to fix Eq x 2 [Equinox Vol. III, No. 2] matters: then probably back here for a bit, but I'm not sure as this is only a Small Magical retirement.

Don't try to use Greek Qabalah for nobody knows anything about it.
Here's a good mantra for Muladhara [chackra] "Ac Pan Pan! Pan Pan Pan!" It adds to 666.
