TTTTA Back to Pythagoras 3 4 5

A couple twists to this tale of encoding of "The Tunnel Thru The Air," but it begins with Petter Amundsen's discovery of a Pythagorean 3 4 5 right triangle in Shakespeare's work.

Background.  Allegedly placed there by, again allegedly, the writer, Sir Francis Bacon, Petter identifies on page 379/389 of "Cymbalene" a visible 3 4 5 Pythagorean triangle constructed of the word "Cross." The five letters identify the 3 lines that create the visible right triangle.  The importance...the word "cross" has significance as Bacon was believed to be Rosicrucian and the letters "R.C." was the hidden designation of a member.  The importance for Amundsen's thesis that Bacon wrote much of that attributed to Shakespeare.  But that's not the importance here.  The importance here is whether Gann buried a similar dog in TTTTA….its the method.

Gann's 3 4 5 triangle.  Onto TTTTA, how can I find a cross?  Would Mr. Gann, a 33rd degree Mason want to identify with the Pythagorean 3 4 5 to emphasize something…duh.  I've previously found the "Rose of Charity" on page 37 of TTTA.  The importance is that the "R.C." cap letters are the sign of the Rosicrucian order and it is found on page 37.  37 is the signature number of the Rosicrucians AND it is one of the angles of the Pythagorean 3 4 5 triangle.  And Masons like the 3 4 5 triangle a little.   Was Mr. Gann adopting another of Bacon's methods of coding on page 37?  Nope, can't find a visible triangle on page 37….yet.  But I haven't given up.  Set that aside.

But would there be another method?  Let's say 37 is "1"….after all 3+7=1.  Then 3 would be 3X 37=111, 4 would be 4X37=148 and 5 would be 5X37=185.  I wonder if Mr. Gann might have created a numerical 3 4 5 triangle out of page numbers 111, 148 and 185?  Well, I don't find any "RC's" on any of those pages.  And the content, at first reading, doesn't seem to highlight a relation.  If I wanted to 'find' some language that I could argue had significance, I'm sure I could.  Symbolic language ….subjective language.  Not an immutable truth of the stature of "Number."  Symbolism has subjectivity while Number is without argument.

Number.  That's it.  What is the Theosophic reduction of those three pages?  It is:

3, 4 and 5, the Pythagorean triangle derived from page 37, or 37 degrees, the smallest of the angles of the Pythagorean triangle.

The triangle in pure number theory as opposed to drawn on a page.  The purely objective knowledge as opposed to the subjective visible knowledge.
