That essay goes like this. WD Gann says in TTTTA, "Notice this prophecy." The first part is the bridge opens our rivers. On October 17 1989, the Loma Prieta Earthquake (7.1R) damaged the San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge which "reopened" after repairs in November 1989.
The second part of the 'notice' says substantially the same thing but adds the word "suspension." The bridge damaged in 1989 was not a suspension bridge judging from photos. On the other hand, the Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge; the longest in the world and one of the seven wonders of the world.
Getting cute with numbers in the earlier essay, I somewhat triangulated the 1906 earthquake with the 1989 Loma Prieta and found February 22, 2016 to be an excellent candidate for history to repeat.
I found my discussion to be, well, not compelling even given my very low bar... until I read what I just read....
I've been through every page of TTTTA dozens of times looking for acrostic and telestic words that might give me a clue as to Mr. Gann's hidden meanings. Every word I find spelled in the first letter of every line (acrostic) or last letter of every line (telestic) gets highlighted in a flesh color such as the word "dip" above. [The word appears to be 'dip' but the 'i' is actually a lower case "L" but appears to be an 'i.']
So what did I read? I was reading up on the research on magnetic field noise to predict earthquakes and I found the following (see HERE for the full Wikipedia article):
"Involved the dip-slip (vertical)..." Apparently, the "dip-slip" is an accepted terminology for one of a couple categories of earthquake as we find it in the USGS glossary of terms found HERE.
I have found Mr. Gann using an acrostic or telestic word in many places to support and confirm a meaning of a narrative passage. For example, Robert Gordon decides he is in love and we find the telestic word "Yippi:"
SO, is it a coincidence that we find the telestic word "dip" with a passage I proposed refers to two earthquakes; one which occurred in 1989 and one which...might occur February 22, 2016?

Hi Jim, some notes:
ReplyDeleteGann says "In Naomi...", but he is referring to The Book of Nahum (Text version is from King James Bible). I don't know of a Naomi book! Now the interesting part: Searching Naomi in Google Earth reveals many residents in San Francisco - most if not all of them surrounding the area enclosed by 3 brigges in the middle of San Francisco Bay and San Pablo Bay. You have another explanation for the use of "Naomi" ?
Just wanted to tell you this.
Keep up the hard work :)
Not being a Bible scholar...or even a modestly literate Bible amateur...I tried looking up a Book of Naomi. I got myself caught up in the story of Naomi, her losses, suffering and travels and did not focus on the intentional error. Mr. Gann does present Naomi as if it were a book and, interpreted as such, it is an intentional error created to focus attention on what is being said. And about what is being said, I don't think its the story of Naomi as much as it is "Notice this prophecy."
ReplyDeleteInteresting that you found many Naomi's located near the bay areas.
Oh my gosh and thank you... please read the next essay.
And thanks for considering these essays.
