777: Why was WD Gann divorced from his Texas school sweetheart?

According to John L. Gann Jr, (grandson) William Delbert Gann married his Texas school sweetheart, Rena May Smith, and in 1908 divorce her and married Sarah Hannify.  Why, in the year of his greatest discovery, 1908, did he make this change in life direction? (1)

A riddle of 7's.  WD Gann encodes into his 1927 "The Tunnel Thru the Air" acrostic and telestic messages and mathematic riddles and confirmations designed to make statements.  The messages and statements confirm the simple narrative meaning many serious readers people might take from a simple narrative reading.  The encoding confirms or disputes the subjective nature of narrative language....discovery and mathematics makes crystal clear the author's intent.  The "simpler meaning" to which I refer will become evident in the final question posed in this essay.

But first, the groundwork.

7.  A 7-year marriage ends in 1908,  7 is the given (not adopted) "name number" of William Gann and Francis Bacon according to Luo Clement rules and Pythagorean values.  The number 7 will bind together the lives of four persons; WD Gann, Sarah Hannify, Sarah Pardee and Francis Bacon.

77.  We find the number 77 encoded as a telestic message on cumulative descending line 3809 of WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air."  And we find my name, suggesting to me there is something about 77 I am to discover:

This time I find "Ross" spelled twice.  This must be something important.

I'm disappointed, out of the four line numbers (3809, 298, 282 and 11533) found in WD Gann's "Map of Time", there isn't a single 7 on that line to expand the telestic 77 to 777.  Unless those four lines are to mean something:

11533+282-3809-298=7707 and, as Lord Bacon might, 

we suppress the valueless 0 to arrive at 777

777.  What a number, 777.  Mathew 18:21 and Luke 17:4….how many times... sin against me? 7 and Jesus said 7X7.  So, we have the one year of Jubilee following 7X7 years but we also have a new 7-year period of the Shmita.  A total of 56 years which is exactly 1/3rd the MOT's 168-year span and 1/45th the Great Biblical Week of 2520 years.  Immense theological significance in many religions.  As we will see, WD Gann's adopted first name enumerates to 777 and 69.  And a69 has a life of its own.

Lord Bacon found the number 777 immensely important as documented in great detail in Richard Allan Wagner's (a 32rd degree Masonic historian scholar) "The Lost Secret of William Shakespeare."     As a theosophic late in his life, Lord Bacon encoded in "his" Shakespearean works (I am a Baconian) his belief he would return in a later life(s) to add to his already substantial life's work.

Books have been written about 7, 7 and 777.  I do have a mystery. 

What is to follow regarding WD Gann, Sarah Pardee, Sarah Hanify and Francis Bacon owes greatly to Richard Allan Wagner's previously cited work.  Mr. Wagner, in my estimate, is a dedicated and gifted scholar of Lord Francis Bacon, William Shakespeare (to the extent possible since we know little of him), William Shaksper (the horse handler, money lender, grain merchant and supposed author), Sarah Pardee (Winchester) and Elizabethan England.

Mr. Wagner introduces four Elizabethan ciphers and the Pythagorean number table, all five of which Lord Bacon used to encode many of his writings.  One needs to keep in mind, all five ciphers can be used to identify a person in encoded works by number.  However, only the Pythagorean system of enumeration, as best I am aware, measures/declares a person's vibration; a very important distinction. And Luo Clement restricts the evaluation of the "name number" to only the given name.

Following is the full enumeration of four person's, with a fifth identity representing the adopted name of "WD" according to the five ciphers (2):

We will work left to right, from the first known occurrence to the final consequence.  Lord Francis Bacon, according to Pythagorean value and Luo Clement rules had a "name number" of 34 reduced to 7 which you will see highlighted in blue at the far right.  For a brief moment, look at "William Gann" on the far left and you will see that "William," the name given to WD Gann at birth, enumerates to a Pythagorean 34 reduced to 7...just as did the name of Francis Bacon.  These two men have the same "name number" vibration according to Luo Clement.  We have the single 7.

Next column to the left of Francis Bacon; Sarah Pardee.  The wife of William Wirt Winchester ("WWW" and, where W is 5 in Pythagorean enumeration, we have a notable 5-5-5) and heir of the Winchester Rifle fortune, Sarah Pardee was a student and historian of Lord Bacon, a Mason student and, arguably by Mr. Wagner, may have been a French Mason (then permitted in France).  She used her great fortune to build the mystical Winchester Mansion in San Jose CA which encoded in its odd architecture the numerology she had discovered through her study of Lord Bacon, Rosicrucian Order, Masonry....  Many features of that architecture that symbolized the number 7, 77, and 777.  You will see in the totals of all five ciphers of her name given at birth, "Sarah," are 34 highlighted in yellow and reduced to 7, the later highlighted in red.  Isolating just her Pythagorean element, her name number was 20 highlighted in green reduced to 2.

Not surprisingly, the Pythagorean name numbers of Sarah Hannify and Sarah Pardee are the same; 20 highlighted in green and the reduction to 2.  Duh, "Sarah" evaluates to "Sarah."  The ladies have the same "vibration."  As well, the totals of the five ciphers are the same; 34 highlighted in yellow and 7 in red.  There we find the first occurrence of "77."  The combined, reduced given name number of Sarah and surname of Hannify are 7 and 7, highlighted in red.  We have the double 7 or 77.

[It should be noted that historians indicate the dates of birth of both women are unknown.  We cannot evaluate their respective birth numbers.]

Now it gets really interesting with the next column left; WD Gann's adopted first name or "WD."  For the reasons cited in the previous essay and one additionally, Mr. Gann changed his name from William to WD.  With that change, Mr. Gann moved from an inharmonious birth and name number of  6-7 to a harmonious one of 6-9.  Alas, if only Lord Bacon had changed his unfortunately inharmonious birth and name number relationship of 4-7.  

But the greater benefit was this; it gave us 7, 77, 777, 69, and 999.  Under the "WD Gann adopted" column you see the 7's highlighted which are the simple, reverse and short Elizabethan ciphers yielding 7-7-7 for the adopted given name "WD."  We now have the triple 7 or 777.

Horizontally next to the red 777 you have 6-9 in brown which is, as discussed in more detail in the previous essay, the greatly notable page 69 of TTTTA, the street address of Robert Gordon, the birth date (6-9-1906) of Robert Gordon...  And finally you have 9-9-9 shown vertically highlighted in brown.  Arguably an immensely important number it is Mr. Gann's birth date inverted and flipped, 6-6-6 (June 6, 1878) becomes 9-9-9.  Personally, it is the date of the worst day in my life or in the life of any parent.

*******

It's impossible to fully compare Pythagorean values of Rena Mae Smith to Sarah Hannify without each person's birth date or to determine, from that perspective, which person might have had the more harmonious relationship with WD Gann.  I did evaluate Rena Mae Smith's numbers; her Pythagorean number is 20 reduced to 2, exactly the same as that of Sarah Hannify.  So that wasn't a problem.  All the other numbers are different and we don't know the birth number.

Could the numbers be the cause of the divorce and re marriage at the 7-year mark?  Or are the numbers simply reflective of the people involved.  Or are the numbers and the events aspects of the same reality; a reality that plays out in parallel.

So to answer the question the title of this essay poses, I can't.

What I do know is the name change from William to WD and the re-marriage to Sarah created an incredible group of numbers and of numeric synchronicities; it created a line that began with Lord Francis Bacon and ended at, or perhaps continues, through WD Gann.  

A lot of numbers, the Noxious Ones will say, without anything more than a building of synchronicity.  Why would I think the numbers true?  Perhaps, more numbers?

Five or 5-5-5, the number in between the other single digit numbers; 4 above, 4 below.  Have you seen 555 in this essay?  Yup.  Is there a Bible verse 55:5, it would be a big number for a Bible verse chapter and paragraph?  Yup.

Maybe the meaning is simply this; when you take four people, evaluate their five separate names and add them together, what's the likelihood the answer will be fives?  After combing through the above spreadsheets for tens of hours, I believe it is correct.  I 'can't not' worry but they're the numbers... my best effort.  When I wind up with all 5s, if indicates to me, it is correct.  But that's me.

One final thought, one final number.  Lord Francis Bacon died in 1626 and WD Gann was born in 1878; 252 years apart.  As recounted at length in Richard Wagner's book and on this blog, Dr. John Dee was a great Elizabe than intellect among many great intellects of the 15th and 16th centuries and his greatest of students was Lord Francis Bacon.  

Question for you; what was John Dee's "philosopher stone number," the number behind the Monas Heirglyphica?

Nah,

PS:  I continue to wonder about the identity of the old schoolmate in Texas to whom TTTTA was co-dedicated.  

(1) A dependable researcher of WD Gann has informed me that WD and Rena did marry in 1901 but that neither the divorce nor re marriage occur in 1908.

(2) In addition, that researcher indicates Sarah was a very early and very infrequently used name of WD Gann's second wife.  Which brings the question whether it is appropriate to use the supposed birth given name of Sarah or the apparently adopted name of Sadie.  For Pythagorean purposes, the proper name to use is Sadie.  However, both Sadie and Sarah evaluate according to the Pythagorean table to 20 reduced to 2.  This must be addressed in a later essay.  The four Elizabethan ciphers change the spreadsheet and destroy the '555' grand result.
