It began with some incredible research by an Internet presence, Super_Romeman, who maintains the 'gannstudygroup' at gmail. His contribution to research into WD Gann dwarfs the many experts who have, as they market their work, "have discovered the secret." And the results of his work are factual; they aren't perverted by the hucksters or the excessively imaginative (me). You can take his work to the bank. I doubt SR wants the accolades or wishes to be associated with my "out there" thoughts and, if he wishes, I will take it down.
Without his work, I would not have been down the road of the WD Gann "Map of Time" because it was his public Word file of "The Tunnel Thru the Air" that I adapted (by adding page heading/page number lines and line spacing) to create the MOT. The MOT, based upon the 168-year MOT period, 1/15th of the Biblical Great Year of 2520 years....168. 42 sections to the TTTTA as opposed to 36 chapters as originally numbered which, when "doubled" and "redoubled" as advised by "tidbits" on page 45 gives you....168. 168, the number of hours in the week.
Get my drift? ....168.... Remember that number.
I kid you not #1. So yesterday, Super_Rome presented his finding of a 1907 book written, "Therapeutics of Vibration" (TOV) by Wm. Lawrence Woodruff, MD, who wrote on page 7:
Very similar to WD Gann's few citations of the "great law of vibration" (LOV) I will provide just one from TTTTA:
I selected the above as opposed to the few other times Mr. Gann referred to the LOV because it appears in the target of my research, TTTTA. AND because it appears on page 77. That perks me up. That's the first "I kid you not" and it means nothing. But, as always, inspires my interest.
I kid you not #2. At the point when Steve gave me a heads up, I hadn't read or even downloaded Dr. Woodruff's book. His heads up; "count the pages." I'll warn you, there's a difference between or, I'd prefer, a nuance in how I've counted the 432 pages in TTTTA; in TTTTA I counted all the way to the rear dust jacket but with Woodruff's book I counted only to the last printing that appears. In both cases I count to the last printed word but in TTTTA that includes the rear cover where in TOV there are several pages after the last printed word.
What's the big deal? When you go to the very last page that doesn't include any printing, the page reader tells you that you're on the 175th page. But when you flip back to the last word you see in the book...you are on page 168.
I kinda like this "kid you not."
I kid you not #3. What's on the 168th and final printed page? I'll preempt the thought and provide side by side pages of the nature this "kid you not."
Lots of "kid you nots" here. First, Luo Clement on the right promised a book "Numerical Vibrations" that, despite many hours devoted by several qualified researchers, was never found documented as being published. Can anyone find either of the books Dr. Woodruff promised? I haven't devoted any more than a couple minutes as his obscure writings might be argued so obscure that the Internet has not found his other writings. I'll give the non publishing of both these announced books one half a "kid you not" and wouldn't be surprised to be proven wrong.
Continuing, that similarly obscure Roger Brothers who published Luo's book; 82 Duane Street. I was never able to find a Roger Brothers therein located. I found a stationary business. As well, Roger Brothers published very few books, most of which seemed to be along the lines of Mr. Gann's spiritual and philosophical orientation. I've personally considered the Roger Brothers 18 or so books WD Gann's secret reading list; not simply a list of books for sale.
So what about J.F. Elwell Publishing Company; how many books did they publish? Again a quick search and I find one; TOV. Not exactly prolific. Maybe they were as obscure as TOV and missed the wide net of Internet search. What about 247 S. Broadway, Los Angeles. I find only one occupant:
I expect the furrier could have moved or liquidated after 1900 and before 1907 and J.F. Elwell Publishing might have set up shop to publish one book in 1907.
Stop the press, I find a second book located in the Internet archives of the University of California which is a biography of the Rev. J. W. T. McNeil by Mary Carr Merritt published in 1909. Maybe there are more, but I'm not finding them. And, judging from the content of both books, while admirable, neither was a best seller.
All considered, this is a weak "I kid you not" that might be disproven.
I kid you not #4. This is the big one. I discovered the MOT (as if it were proven "prophecy") based upon a similar method I found in a contemporary fictional work. The character in that work, examining a page of numbers, found a sequence that correlated the date of 9/11/2001 with then number of deaths that day. On that flimsiest of thought, I added dates to my Excel copy of TTTTA and found that the date 9/11/2001 aligned perfectly with 2997, the number of innocent deaths that day. I discovered this on 9/11/2015 and wrote an essay to monument it. Here's what I saw that day:
The date 9/11/2001 on the right, the numbers 2693 and 283 on the left adding to 2976. One off you say. Well, there are two dates on each line and the left numbers increment at a rate of 2 per line. 9/11/2001 would, by math, correlate with 2977. The MOT has changed radically since that 2015 essay but September 11, 2001 still correlates with the number of deaths.
What's the "kid you not?" Steve told me to take the date 9/11/2001, subtract 168 lines, and research what happened on the lines of that day. Here's what you find in the most recent formulation of the MOT (again, the line numbers have changed so you can't take 2693 minus 168 by you can download the MOT and work from the updated MOT as I have):
The yellow highlighted date appears exactly 168 lines below line number 2699 on which is located the date 9/11/2001 (if you include the beginning and ending date).
And what happened on October 12, 2000? The Islamic terrorist attack on the U.S.S. Cole.
I kid you not.
*******
That fictional work in which the character found the number of innocent deaths on 9/11/2001. He also found the major disasters that occurred in the world between the time the page of numbers was created on October 13, 1959 to the time he discovered the correlation on October 13, 2009.
Did Mr. Gann document every yet to occur disaster between 1927 and the end of the MOT? I find the acrostic/telestic messages in TTTTA that infer such is the case. I cannot figure out the consistent math and time relation that I know is there as well which will predict the dates of those disasters.
If I do of someone does, it will answer the cosmic question well posed (which I've previously provided):
Oh, who co wrote and directed "Knowing?" Ryne Douglas Pearson. Is he encoded in TTTTA. Yes. Find that bloviating essay HERE.
I kid you not.

This one is also on the Gann reading list and is 168 pages long. No mention of another book at the end though. Vibration is in the book.

ReplyDeleteJim, I have been very busy lately but had a moment to digest your recent posts.
I found something else on the subject of vibration written by mr. Woodruff that you may appreciate.
I hope you are well
My first impression; it sounds a lot like comments in "The Ticker Interview;" atoms and vibration. As well, it conjures up Faraday's comment that everything is comprised of geometric points of force in space. Terribly interesting.
DeleteI'm doing well. I have made several discoveries in TTTTA recently and, perhaps, a very very big one in but the last 2 hours. We will see.

ReplyDeleteThis was written in 1908, the year of Gann's greatest discovery
Reading more of Woodruff, he mentions a lot of Oliver Lodge.
Looking into Lodge, he would've been a contemporary of Gann, was a skilled scientist specifically in the field of electricity and vibration, and seemed to have a deep faith about him as well, similar to Gann. He wrote a LOT of books bridging the gap between science and religion.
An interesting fellow who certainly deserves some of my (scarce) free time. One for the attic as you say ;)
As a point of clarification, I am not alleging this book is that great discovery... moreso that this vein of thinking is in line with what Eureka moment Gann might have had when he was able to reconcile the material with the esoteric and hold the keys to the kingdom in his hand as few in history have.
