A challenge; "Draw me a picture of what the future is going to look like."

"Draw me a picture of what the future is going to look like."

"Maybe it means something, like a map or something."

"I've matched these numbers to the dates to every global disaster of the last 50 years in perfect sequence; earthquakes, fires, tsunamis.  The next number on the chain predicts tomorrow, somewhere on the planet, 81 people are going to die, in some kind of tragedy."

"Systems that find meaning in numbers are a dime a dozen.  Why?  Because people see what they want to see."

"The numbers are a warning."

"What happens when the numbers run out?"

*******

In the movie, "Knowing," we have a perfect "map" of thought laid out which we may follow. 

The plot and evidence.  Fictional Lucinda Embry drew a picture, a map, of numbers that, 50 years later and without theretofore discovery, re-told a troubled astrophysics professor, John Koestler, the great tragic events of those 50 years, and the last 3 events yet to occur.  He proved the numbers to events that had occurred and as those last 3 events occurred.  Entirely fictional but thoughtful.

Ultimately, Professor Koestler could not refute the truth of the Lucinda Embry's map.

WD Gann drew a picture, "Map of Time," or MOT, of the future in his 1927 "The Tunnel Thru the Air"  and encoded it into the acrostic/telestic words and into mathematic devices found in "The Tunnel Thru the Air."   The MOT was proven on September 11, 2015 by the same method the Professor proved Lucinda's map.  Many of those encoded words and devices are as clear in intention and content as the perfection of mathematics.  There's an abundance of confirmation and/or collateral messages that create a web of evidence and confound the intellectually honest but otherwise doubtful:

• the 6th prophecy of 9/11 and the date of and the deaths that day,
• the 7th prophecy that I would discover and confirm my name and identity in TTTTA,
• dozens of acrostic/telestic words describing events yet to occur after TTTTA's publication,
• the name of the author of "Knowing," Ryne Pearson Douglas, encoded in TTTTA,
• the perfect math and undeniable foresight of the phrase "Tip the hat,".....
• even the simple narrative predictions of the Great Depression and WWII found on page 82.

The miracle in plain sight; can a trader, Mr. Gann, followed by an auditor on the NYSE floor, and without an electronic calculator much a computer, enter 286 trades in 25 days and incur only 22 losses?  Is that statistically possible under the most generous interpretation of "random walk?"

The challenge.  Any person of math and logic cannot, in Emerson and Swedenborg's concept of "intellectual character," dismiss and avoid the truth of these facts and circumstances as evidence.  Yet, without any consideration, Professor Koestler's presentation of the "map" is rejected by his learned associate as a system not worth a "dime a dozen."  Similarly, within minutes of my presentation of the 7th Prophecy, I was attacked as "having lost it."  There wasn't time for consideration of the evidence...simply an intellectually bigoted reaction to such an affront of the norm of thinking.

So the challenge to Professor Koestler was, "can these things of so vastly improbable proportions be cast aside without due consideration?"  Can a person of "intellectual character" convict without trial?

The evidence in real time.  In a series of events, the Professor experienced in real time the evidence; there was the Gulf oil rig disaster (water), the airplane terrorist disaster (air), the subway attack (land) and, finally, the solar flare (fire).  Fictional of course.

Similarly, we have dates in the WD Gann Map of Time and some varying evidence of their importance, February 21-24, March 2-19, May 9 and October 19 of 2016.  The first of the dates, February 21-24, and more specifically, February 24, and its expected nature, is sourced and documented in many essays.  The remaining dates are not consequential unless the first is "proven by time," as Mr. Gann might say, as true.

That date, February 24 is very consequential to perhaps "one third" of all persons in our nation and, perhaps the world, given that a great percentage of all persons live within 50 miles of coastal areas.

Should the predicted events of February 24 prove true, then, as Professor Koestler experienced, all of our perceptions of reality and faith will change.  We will have seen the evidence in real time.

The numbers are a warning.  What happens when the numbers run out?  According to the method I have identified in the WD Gann "Map of Time" I believe we reach the end of the numbers (the 168th year of the MOT cycle) and we "begin again."  But that's just a method, not a truth.

Mr. Gann reprises the words of Mark 13:20 and Mathew 24:22 three times in TTTTA:

The number of page 89 plus the year in which TTTTA was published, 1927, is 2016.  Personally, I conclude the numbers will start again but not before the tribulation of which they warn.

*******

I've been watching a number I noticed this week.  A bright line in the research I've presented in this blog was my first realization that Mr. Gann intended his work be interpreted as having meaning in our generation; upon the election of the 266th Pope.  As all things in this endeavor, it took weeks or months to understand that spark of imagination and then prove the lengths to which Mr. Gann went to confirm that importance.  The message of the 266th Pope is that TTTTA's encoded messages are meant for our generation....for now.

So, that number I've been following is near an end.  I didn't intend it this way; it just happened.  This essay will be my 264th since I started as an ignorant believer in the randomness of all things, mystified at the apparent but in-decodable order of numbers:

I plan a letter, a 265th essay, to my family from the least of its spiritually enlightened which I hope will inspire them to do what is necessary to have removed from the West Coast their loved ones.  I will use it as my guide when I visit them in their homes and try to explain to them my concern.  I will be in hazardous territory, the home of a distinguished minister and in another home of a long studied and dedicated Christian.  Again, I am the least in their company but will do my best.

The last essay, the 266th of this series, I expect to write on about February 25, 2016.  In my former philosophy of life it would be a "how stupid was I to write these things" type of essay.  This time it will follow one of two paths depending on the events or lack of events of February 21-24.  If the events prove true, then the essay will reprise thoughts of beginning again.  If false, I will not accuse myself of the vanity of being wrong but express the blessing of having been wrong.  I'm forever the better for this journey; I'll be wrong but I won't, as I once naively remarked, be the 'goat.'  Either way I'll view the result as "His will be done."

The challenge to you, a person appreciative of the exactness and perfection of numbers, is to consider the evidence.  Its easy for me because I saw a miracle of numbers in real time.  You, on the other hand, haven't that experience.  You do have the mountain of miracles of improbability which I've documented.  If you concentrate on only one, consider the most recent "Tip the hat" which finds both mathematic perfection and foresight confirmed in the movie "San Andreas."  Ask yourself, "Can this vastly improbable foresight happen?"  Mr. Gann could create the enigma, yes.  Could he, in 1927, foresee the phrase "Tip the Hat" included in the 2015 movie, San Andreas?  "Can this happen?"

And then, what do you do about it?  I offer a thought of how Mr. Gann might respond:

Signs. "No sign shall be given, but the sign of the prophet Jonas."  If you have not done so, you need to see the movie, the picture, San Andreas.

It has been an honor to have my thoughts considered by persons of intellectual character,
