Continuing on with the "Tao" encoding device - a call for help

WD Gann did not code only cute little words in "The Tunnel Thru the Air."  He encoded devices.   One of the earliest proofs to me (even before finding the "9/11 and number of deaths that day" confirmation) was the painfully prominent phrase "TAO to WAR."  I can't recall the number of hours I marveled at that phrase and wondered 'why?'  It was too prominent to 'not' mean something more than that simple translated phrase "PATH to WAR."  No, it was a prominent to call attention to a 'device' that he had placed in TTTTA.  The first iteration was in all caps to call attention to it IMO.

Then, of course, I found that TAO was correlated with the date 9/11/2001 and the number of deaths that actually occurred that day.  Then the phrase took on the meaning:

"9/11/2001 is the PATH to WAR."

The phrase is first encoded as acrostically spelled words.  Then the words are placed on 3 different pages so someone, not having discovered the acrostic/telestic encoding, will not notice them.  They'd see the word "TAO" might be spelled using the first letter of each line and think to themselves and think "well, that's neat" but its just random.  They'd similarly discount the word "to" and probably never see "WAR" on the third of three pages.

That's how this phrase has been kept secret for 89 years.  That's largely how WD Gann has kept secret the many predictions - prophecies derived from his understanding of the Bible and math and science.  He wanted to keep these predictions secret until the time he knew it would become important to the world; until the age of the 266th Pope.  We entered the age of the 266th Pope with the election of Pope Francis in 2013 and it is now that he either intended or knew his prophecies would be uncovered as revealed in the 7th Manifest Prophecy.

The "Tao" device demonstrated above is just one more of Mr. Gann's methods and it needs to be explored to its end to find its greatest meanings.  Perhaps there is a meaning for us in terms of what happens next or perhaps there will be the key to how he arrived at his predictions through math and science as explained in the Bible.

What then do we know about the manner in which "TAO to WAR?"  The words are presented on different pages and each word is separated by 81 spaces.  'TAO' begins on line 2697, 'to' appears on lines 2777 and 2778 and 'WAR' ends on line 2858.  Do the math, exactly 81 spaces.

So the rule is, when we find an acrostic word 'tao' then we should find the word 'to' thereafter, count the spaces between and then use that interval to count from the 'to' to a third word to determine the resultant phrase.

Using the "finder" device I have included in the free (I mean free because I make nothing from this project, there aren't any embedded ads and there aren't any click fees) download of WD Gann's "Map of Time", you will find that there are exactly 14 occurrences of the word 'tao' found in TTTTA:

As you can see, I have located the third of three words for 6 of the above occurrences of 'tao.'  The first three have been the subject of an essay already.

Out of the first three 'tao' lines above, each has a meaning.  Line 2697 "TAO to WAR" is the prophecy of 9/11.  Line 4308 "Tao to Hoi" is a component prophecy of the War in Vietnam when supplemented with the acronym of the last name of Edna Quinton e.g. Tonkin; as in the Tonkin incident and the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution.  And line 4609, "Tao to Ata" meaning Muhammad Ata, with spacing of 77 lines for American Airlines flight 77 that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11/01.

We have the first 3 of 3 iterations of the "Tao device" providing very understandable meaning and each providing a prophecy.  What about the remainder?  It is going to take time to unravel all of these but you can see I have made headway. 

3 out of 3.  Remember the Nassim Taleb story of the Tony the Streetwise Bookie?  Professor Taleb proposed to an MIT PhD in statistics and to Tony the Streetwise Bookie; "You have a fair coin, flip it 9 times and it comes up heads, what will happen when you flip it the 10th time?"  The PhD says, "It will be tails because the probability of yet another head is astronomically low."  Tony says "No, its heads."  "Why Tony," Professor Nassim asks.  "Because anyone with any intelligence knows that it is impossible for a fair coin to be flipped and come up heads nine times in a row.  The coin has two heads."  The game is rigged.  Mr. Gann rigged it with a device.

There may be more in the "Tao device" than just one meaning for each word "Tao."  There are more than 100 occurrences of the word 'to.'  So, perhaps 1 occurrence of 'tao' could be married with every occurrence of 'to' either going forward as we have or going backwards.  That would give as many as 14 occurrences of 'tao' times the number of occurrences of 'to' or about 1400 possible phrases.  Perhaps there's another conjunction other than 'to' thus adding to the possible meanings.

Mr. Gann had a staff of, from what I have read on the Internet (said facetiously), 12 to 28 staff members over many years while on Wall Street.  I'm sure one or two did proofing work, but what were they doing?  Mr. Gann had proven he could dominate the stock market, having entered 286 trades in real time with only 24 losses (the Ticker Interview)...with an auditor in tow no less.  Mr. Gann worked day and night as his grandson said and just as did his fictional proxy, Robert Gordon.  Does it take a stable of number crunchers to develop a newsletter each month?

No.  Mr. Gann's stable of people were, in my wildest opinion, performing the computations necessary to predict the future based upon a "perfectly good model of Euclidian geometry using DeCartesian coordinates" (to imperfectly quote the Einstein Essay Prize Editor, another nom de plume of Mr. Gann, again IMO).  I believe Mr. Gann portioned out individual calculations to his human calculators and did it in such a way, none of them knew how each calc was being used.  In that way, he could make hundreds of predictions and not have his methods or predictions discovered.

Similarly, even though we have computers and calculators, I can't make all the judgments and follow all the 'paths' that Mr. Gann may give us in the 'tao device.'  I would welcome anyone with the time and interest to post in the comments section to this essay insights gained by using this device.  I don't expect 1400 insights, I do expect many.  And I do expect insights not just to prophecies of the last 89 years, but some that may color for us our near future.  Please help, the WD Gann "Map of Time" is on this blog for download and it is free.  Do it for me, do it to refute my thinking (and make me better), but above all, do it for yourself and your family.  And please share.  It costs you nothing but keystrokes.
