The nature of "clews"

Unambiguously, WD Gann claimed in "The Tunnel Thru the Air" he had discovered in the Bible the "process" by which one "know" the future.  As well, he wrote his method is based on "cycle theory"and "mathematic sequences" and the Biblical concept of history repeating.  And finally, the "key" is found in the meaning of the story of Jonah.  Those concepts can be found several places in TTTTA; just search for the words "process" or "key" or "repeat."  But you need only read pages 69 and 75 to get the point blank assertions.

Fundamentally, it would seem to be a mathematic thing.  Whether one envisions the process as astrology, geometry, physics.... each is dependent on mathematics and things that happened in the past happening again.  The problem is, I can't figure the math.  I don't fell alone.

Let's say its a reasonably complicated thing; that one must have some level of understanding of geometry.  Let's say Mr. Gann wanted his secrets to be found but didn't think the time was right in his generation; that the secrets needed to be uncovered in the age of the 266th Pope (see my several essays on the 266th Pope and page 82 of TTTTA).  How would Mr. Gann entice and then enslave the unsuspecting in uncovering his secrets?

Clews or clues.  Detectives following clues.

On page 237 we find Mr. Gann spelled the simple word "clue" as "clew."  Not misspelled because there is a word "clew" that is a maritime device.  But used entirely incorrectly.  Notice, as well, the reference to "detectives:"

Oh, Mr. Gann knew the difference between a "clew" and a "clue" as we find the latter correctly used on page 132.  But the point it, misspellings were a first effort to enlist people to look at the proximate hidden meanings...  Misspellings, not to anyone's surprise are clues.

The clues enlist our further efforts.  They are not an end and, like all words, they are subjective.  A clue to one person might be coincidence to another.  And if considered a clue to two persons, they might disagree on what the clue means.  A particularly imaginative person, or delusional if you will, might think great calamity is imminent when the clues really didn't infer that meaning.  Hmmmm, might this essay be such an incorrect interpretation of real or imagined clues?  I believe so. 

Clues suffer the same problems as all other language; subjectivity.  Gurdjieff taught PD Ousensky and other students many lessons on the subjectivity of language and perfection of mathematics.   Mr. Gann said that math and geometry is the only language on which the entire world agrees ( Words are not a substitute for the truly unambiguous meaning of mathematics; clues are even one step further removed.  But they entreat inquiry; what does he mean?

Here are several misspellings that are clues the chronic insomniac or obsessed might consider:

Not an exhaustive list but it's a start.  Mammoth was the first I'd noticed and led to discovery of the 6th Prophecy of 9/11.  Jonah versus Jonas...alternate permissible spellings [some experts in Hebrew have told me the usage of the alternate spellings are actually similar to English tenses and entirely correct] on the same page would seem to mean the previously mentioned page 69 is highly important.  Maybe its as Mr. Gann says...a "key."

You can make of the clues what you think Mr. Gann intended.  Myself, I've misconstrued the clues, subjective as they are, enough such that I've been working near 24/7 on the math; the thing on which all persons and nations agree as to the meaning.  And, as said before, the discoveries come very slowly.  The Pavlovian element of discovery/gratification, is a bit lacking.  

Indeed, I've been a bit quiet lately.  There's not been a lot to report given my present trajectory towards math.  I'll draw a contrast here to underscore my dedication to this project.  Clues entreat inquiry but the following, which I've provided before, create the slave:

I've found my name or initials in 36 separate locations in TTTTA since I identified the 7th Prophecy but the above two are the headliner; encoded in the first lines of chapters 7 and the possibly miss-numbered Chapter 39.    Chapter 7 - "Future Cycles" which many say is the most important of all in TTTTA and Chapter 39 which Mr. Gann says in the Foreword contains the secret to defeating man's greatest enemy, Death, and the answer to why "Jesus rose on the third day and rested on the seventh."  

So, if you think I've been a bit withdrawn following my great error in interpreting Mr. Gann's clues, well, don't think I'm not working.  I am.

[See if the clue words prompt your own consideration.  If you have additional words of interest, as I'm sure there are many I haven't identified, feel free to provide them in the 'comments' section.]
