Not the input text, but you are picking from what you discover via your 'seal'.
Speaking of picking, this reminds me of your entire approach:
Have you heard that elephants paint their toenails red so they can hide in cherry trees?
Have you ever seen an elephant in a cherry tree? No? Well, see how well it works!
General call:
Is there some way we can show Kingfisher that his Hebrew (i.e. not using English as we have) seal can yield less suggestive finds? Perhaps modern names, mundane nouns and other contemporary trivia would cause him to think twice.
OK, let's give it a shot.
The G2 Square:
1. The grid arrangement yields shikkor, meaning "drunken," intersecting with the resh of B'reishit in the right hand corner. If called to interpret this phenomenon, I would venture that it is an admonishment not to engage in divining patterns in random arrangements of the text, lest one be gazed upon as if besotted.
2. Reading inward from the third square up on the left, we get yatom, meaning orphan; it crosses the words elohim, hayta and t'hom. That must mean God felt like an orphan in an abyss when He created existence. Also, yatom has a g'matriya of 456, which corresponds to v'timmeta (vav,tet,mem,aleph,tav), meaning, "you shall render impure."
Bottom line: cut it out.
