The Google date and time stamp will show May 27, 2016 at 4:16am EDT, but it actually happened an hour or so earlier. No Noxious Ones, I don't imagine I had an sit-down with Luo Clement (aka IMO
Luo Clement=WD Gann), but if I had, this is how it might have gone.
*******
JR- Thank you Mr. Clement for traveling here and taking the time to talk about your recent book, "The Ancient Science of Numbers." I'll call it TASON for short.
LC- You're quite welcome. What is your interest this early morning?
JR- A riddle has me confused. I wrote a
long essay yesterday where I found your name encoded on page 343 of a book by WD Gann, "The Tunnel Thru the Air." At first cut, I thought I found the coded letters spelled your name and your book except for a missing letter 'f.' Thinking of the incredible odds of that configuration of letters in a small space of lines, I wrote an essay regarding the discovery. To my horror, a couple hours later a reader kindly informed me I'd not highlighted all the letters in your name. Upon checking, I found there was also a letter 'n' missing. Both 'n' and 'f' were missing.
LC- Ah yes, I'm intimately aware of Mr. Gann and his games. He didn't take kindly to those who needed to be given his knowledge. Ask his son. WD is a very smart man but somewhat disassociated with our time. He dreams dreams of your time in the wake of the election of the 266th Pope. You know, page
82 of TTTTA. He holds up in that
82 Wall Street office of his, sending out little mathematics tasks to his staff of 12 or so, never tells them what they're doing or how he's using their math solutions. Its almost like a CPU, to use your contemporary technology lingo, sending out peripheral tasks to slave units, receiving the answer back and inputting into the CPUs' master calculation; almost like multitasking but with a hierarchy. Its as if he didn't have a computer in 1927 to do his calculations.
Yes, I know "WD" pretty well. Didn't like his first name, William, and that middle name, Delbert.... I mean, really, Delbert. The vibration was all wrong. So I advised him to adopt "WD" as his given name.... changes his vibration altogether. It's like wearing a formal tux with a purple ladies' scarf instead of a black bow tie. Just horrible. "WD," pretty nifty 5+4=9. Goes together with his birth number June 6, 1878 pretty well. Gives him a number or
69 or the exact ordinal reverse of that
Robert Gordon chap whose number is 96. There's a meaning there but WD is loathe to give it away. Maybe you got it right in that "
6th Prophecy" stuff about the World Trade Center prediction he made;
69 years,
69 days and the
opposite of day and night. Nifty. You've quite an imagination. A lot of people won't like that. Some will be jealous. Some will deny...no matter the evidence. Worst, most won't care.
JR- Yes, yes, I've seen all that Mr. Clement, but the 'n' and the 'f,' sir, and to put insult on injury, I found Mrs. L. Dow Balliet's name encoded on page 342. But it was missing an 'i.' Don't tell me you don't know Mrs. Balliet, sir, because I know you know her as well as she knows herself. After all, either you copied her book in 1908 or she copied yours in 1908. Just look at the
publication page of her book, all that stuff about copyright infringement, and she never sued you for the obvious infringements you made in TASON.
LC- Mrs. Balliet, WD and I have the most cordial, indeed, intimate, in the Platonic sense of course, relations. We think on the same "wave length" to play on the thought of 'vibration.' I published my book in advance of her book in 1908, so I did not plagiarize her, even though she's been publishing these things for years. After all, Pythagoras' work, if the vibratory tables belong to him, are ancient wisdom that, well, has been in the public domain for eons. Literally.
Why, we use the same publisher in London, L N Fowler. As you know, I used those Roger Brothers chaps in New York where Mrs. Balliet had some sugar daddy funding her. Never met those Roger Brothers fellas at
82 Duane Street. The money just seemed to come from somewhere. But 'its all good' as you say. The copies of both Mrs. Balliet's book and my book were best sellers. Everyone wanted to know all about "Vibration." Major money makers for Roger Brothers I'm sure.
[LC shot me a sly grin when he said that.]
JR- About that "Numerical Vibrations" you said was forthcoming to be published. Yes,
here's the page in TASON. I can't find your having published that book. The only other mention of it anywhere to be found was when, on September 18, 1920 someone advertised to purchase a copy.
Here's the ad. And that ad is 12 years after TASON publication and 7 years before the publication of Mr. Gann's TTTTA. Your favorite, errr, Mr. Gann's favorite numbers 7 and 12. Gosh, did you ever publish "Numerical Vibrations?" September 18, 1920, the same date the mysterious, never identified "
Einstein Editor," wrote an article in Scientific American addressing theories of time and space. Mrs. Balliet's many books frequently use the words 'number' and 'vibrations' in their titles. Did you...
LC- Mr. Ross, I assure you I nor WD Gann stole Mrs. Balliet's material. She published her book after I published TASON. If anything, I might have been referring to her work. And the Einstein Editor... hogwash. I will not entertain your insulting and irrelevant line of questions further you impertinent little twerp. The matter is closed, good sir.
Back to business now, for we have wandered. The missing 'n' and missing 'f.' Jim, Jim, what do I, Lou Clement, do for a living?
JR- Why, you assign numbers to letters.
LC- Let me put this in a way your finite mathematic pea brain can understand.
Duh?
JR- Shazam, I understand. n=5 and f=6 for a total of 11. And the page number of "Luo Clement The Ancient Science of Numbers" is page 344 or 3+4+4=11.
But no, that's not right. I find your name on page 343, not on page 344.
LC- Jim, Jim. "Depends on your definition of..." the number 1, to play on the sworn deposition of your contemporary, former, dishonest, philandering President. Does page 1 end or begin on page 1? Are the contents of page 1 to be described as page '0? ' Is a child 0 years until the first birthday party? When you see page 343 at the top, the contents of the interval associated with "Page 343" actually occurred the page before.
If, then, you are in the midst of what is so named "page 343" are you not in the 344th interval? So, to solve your dilemma, Jim, the contents of page 343, so named, are the 344th interval. And 3+4+4= 11 and the sum of the letters 'n' and 'f' are, in fact, 11.
JR- I am so relieved. I woke up this morning and was laying in bed and, it was almost as if I was talking to you. But wait. My decoding of TTTTA led me to find Mr. L. Dow Balliet on page 321, missing an 'i' which has the value of 9. 3+2+1=6 and not a 9.
LC- Ah yes, the mystery is deep there for sure. Look at Mrs. Balliet's name more closely. It is on the fence of page 321, so named and 322, again so named. Pull your copy and look at it.
Here it is.
JR- I see it now. Mrs. Balliet's middle name straddles page numbered 321. So, like we added 1 to page number 343 to get the solution to the 'n' and the 'f', add 1 to intervals 321 and 322? Even still the number 322 and 323 add to 3+2+2+3+2+3=15 reduced to 6. But the missing letter is 9. We have 6 but we are looking for 9.
LC- Say it quickly Jim.
JR- Wehave6butlookingfor9. Wehave
6butlookingfor
9.
It's 69. The reverse of WD Gann's number, 96, and the same as Robert Gordon's number 69.
Its as I've been noodling around in many essays, that Mr. Gann gave us riddles, missing elements, that when we find them, we gain knowledge. We unmask secrets.
What is missing might be more important than what is found. Its the
Yellowstone device!
I'm sorry but I've got to ask you Luo, and I hope its been alright for me to call you Luo. How do you know so much about WD Gann. I mean, we don't know anything about you. I can't find you ever lived in New York City but you know so much about WD Gann. I can't find you having lived anywhere in the U.S. I can't find an American having ever had the name "Luo."
You know too much about Mr. Gann and he encoded you in his book as we just buttoned up by solving the 'n' and 'f' mystery and the attribution of your work to Mrs. L Dow Balliet.
Are you WD Gann?
LC- I'm a very discrete person Jim. I've given you the best answer I choose. It is printed on page 16 of my book, "The Ancient Science of Numbers" and I believe WD Gann gave you the same answer on page 120 of TTTTA:
*******
Often, somewhere between sleep and waking up, answers to troubles arrive. Now, should I go back to bed or cook me lady of the house some breakfast? Maybe I'll sleep on it and find the answer.
