Numbers; Lord Francis Bacon and WD Gann

Yesterday I fell into a trap set off by a simple spreadsheet error.  The trap was my own euphoria over what I believed to be a discovery.  Perhaps in the error there is discovery greater than otherwise would have deserved.  I hope so.  First the error amid the corrections, both of which I will explain.

To the left of the table of four Elizabethan ciphers is the error highlighted in yellow.  The upper row of number 25, 25, 25, 51 and 9 are true reductions of the two letters appearing above it, "WD."  The lower row of those same numbers results from my absent minded copy of the upper row though it is supposed to be addition of the letter values appearing in the column above it.  The true values for that row would be 34, 66, 16, 86 and 18 that you see on that same row directly right of the Elizabethan table.

From that error, I jumped, first, to the conclusion WD Gann had adopted his first name as "WD" as it fortuitously was the same numeration as his last.  Second and worse, the addition of those values resulted in a sum that, when reduced, was exactly equal to that of Lord Francis Bacon.  Again wrong.

We now have the corrections above and to the right of the Elizabethan table of ciphers and there are insights, lesser ones, but value to be gotten.  Enumerated are the names, WD Gann, Francis Bacon and William Gann.  The format is designed to compare Mr. Gann's adopted name and original given name to the original given name of Francis Bacon.  

William and WD.  Why did Mr. Gann change his original name "William Gann" to "WD Gann."  Luo Clement said in the first paragraph of the first page of "The Ancient Science of Numbers" or "TASON" (curiously and inexplicably, at least to me, numbered as page 7):

If your given name is inharmonious with your birth number or surname (in that order), you change it. WD Gann's birth number is 6 as he was born on the 6th day of the month  (June 6, 1878, which is notably 6-6-6 in single digits) incompatible with the Pythagorean value of "William" which is 7.  They are not in the same triad as instructed on per page 31 of TASON.  

What's Mr. Gann to do, having inharmonious birth and name numbers of 6 and 7, respectively?  He adopted the name "WD" which are his initials and numerate to 5+4=9.  And 9 is in the same triad as his birth number 6 providing the triad compatible numbers of 6-9.  Inharmony solved.  And to double down, his given name (in red above) and surname (18 reduced to 9 in purple above) are each 9; I'd say that is, err, harmonious to an exponent.  And 9^2 is 81 which can be reduced to....9.

William and Francis.  Time to make a distinction.   In the spreadsheet insert above, five cipher values are used, four of which are Elizabethan values for letters and a fifth is Pythagorean values.  The four Elizabethan value systems were ciphers designed to identify a person in hidden communication as distinct from a number system.  The Pythagorean system is designed, based on Luo Clement's explanation, to understand and manipulate one's harmony and harmony relative to the environment; to affect vibration.

To what would we look to see if two persons, each born to given names William Gann and Francis Bacon, respectively, had similar vibratory properties?  Similar vibrations?  We'd look to Pythagorean values, not to the Elizabethan values.  And what is the enumeration of William and Francis?  

Both William Gann and Francis Bacon had the given name number of 34, reduced to 7 as highlighted in red in the above spreadsheet.  Both had birth numbers that were incompatible with their identical name numbers; William's was 6 and Francis' was 4.  William's birth and name numbers from birth were 6-7 and Francis' (born January 22, 1561) was 4-7.  Both sets of numbers were inharmonious.

WD Gann changed his name number by adopting his initials "WD," but Francis, I would argue, never changed his name number.  While he had many titles and was often referred to as "Lord Verulam" for his title Earl of Verulam, his hidden communications discovered by Baconian authors (including 32nd degree Mason, Richard Allan Wagner in his "The Lost Secret of William Shakespeare"), Bacon identified himself by the numbers 67 (Elizabethan simple cipher for Francis highlighted in green above) or by 33 or by 111 (Elizabethan simple and Kaye ciphers for "Bacon").  Clearly, the use of '67' in Elizabethan simple cipher to identify his first name indicated he had not changed his Pythagorean name number of 4.  His birth and name numbers remained inharmonious.

WD and Francis.  WD Gann's name change caused their natural numeration give at birth of 34 reduced to 7 (again, in red in the above spreadsheet) to depart.  WD Gann's name number become 9 and concatenated with his birth number, 69; harmonious.  Bacon's name number remained 7 giving a combined number of 47; inharmonious. We might expect the course of their lives to take somewhat different paths relative to one another.

WD.  Mr. Gann's adoption of WD relative to William created some incredible results highlighted in blue above; 25, 25, 7, 51 and  9 reduced to 7, 7, 7, 6 and 9.  Parse those striking numbers three ways:

• 77.  The number of years in WD Gann's life, 77 years 12 days.  A recurrent theme of TTTTA, Mathew 7:7, ASK.  One of only three two digit numbers found in the acrostic/telestic encoding of "The Tunnel Thru the Air."  77 has meaning in religious systems from Islam to Christianity.  Page 77, where we find a description of WD Gann's mathematic and scientific method; finding the cycle, predicting the "curve for the future" and applying the Law of Vibration to it.

• 777.  Similar to 77, vast spiritual meaning bringing in the Tree of Life and other concepts.

• 69.  The "number" of WD Gann given the substitution of "WD" for "William."  Obviously, one of if not the most notable of pages in TTTTA highlighting the 3 days and 3 nights of the Book of Jonah(s) and Mr. Gann's assertion that a man that knows the meaning thereof is most powerful.  Less notably, a reflection of the birth date of Robert Gordon, June 9 and his 69 Wall Street address.

• 36.  You don't find the number 36?  Add all five numbers 7, 7, 7, 6 and 9.  A very interesting number.

I could write a lot about the benefits of the change of William to WD.

*******

So why study Lord Francis Bacon?  Purely historical, interesting but nothing else?

Early on in my recent study of TTTTA (December 2014) Lord Bacon caught my eye when he cameo'd in TTTTA holding a Bible and declaring "There God speaks."  Petter Amundsen who studied WD Gann and then moved over to the Stratfordian debate and Oak Island, lamented, as I recall, being unable to source or corroborate Lord Bacon having made that declaration.  Indeed he did as I found.  

But why was that quote placed in TTTTA?  What did it add?  It added Lord Bacon, John Dee, the King James Version of the Bible, the development of which was overseen to some extent by Lord Bacon, it added Lord Bacon's teacher, mentor and the genius Dr. John Dee, cited 46 times in the encoded messages of TTTTA....  And given the encoding methodologies of Bacon and Dee, is Mr. Gann giving us a clue that their encoding methods were used in TTTTA?  Study the teachers to understand the student.  Interesting, having said many times the Bible was the source of his knowledge, I have read in many places, Mr. Gann used only the KJV of the Bible; the singularly unique version in which Lord Bacon was known to have been a great if not the greatest influence in its translation and presentation.  [I am also told the only available English translation of the Bible in Mr. Gann's time was the KJV version.]

Now, why study the relative enumerations of the birth and name numbers of WD Gann and Lord Francis Bacon?  Well, didn't Luo Clement do it in TASON beginning on page 109 in the chapter entitled "The Supreme Test."  Don't we test propositions given us?  We should.  If nothing else, you should check my math judging from my error of only yesterday.  

And what do we derive from the study the relative enumerations of WD Gann and Lord Bacon and their live's history.  Its purely subjective but here's my take.  WD Gann changed his inharmonious name and lived a relatively, as best we can determine, peaceful life.  There were disappointments, a failed marriage, a lazy son, but certainly not the problems of Lord Bacon.  So the well documented speculation goes, Lord Bacon was forever denied being able to acknowledge his true ancestry, unable to name himself as the prolific author of works otherwise supposedly written by the uneducated horse handler/grain merchant/money-lender, William Shaksper who hadn't a clue regarding royal ascension or the nature of much of works attributed him...  Lord Bacon who was stalked by arch enemies of court most of his adult life and, ultimately, imprisoned.  [I expect you can guess which of the Stratfordian, Oxfordian or Baconian camps I have joined.]

One man changes his name to live harmoniously and it, seemingly, works.  Another born under  similar inharmonious numerations, maintains his name number and suffers a life of controversy...even by Elizabethan court standards.  

As I've offered several times, discovering the mathematic and scientific means of identifying WD Gann's "curve for the future" (page 77) is only the first, though still elusive, hurdle.  Should that hurdle be leapt, there remains the ability to demonstrate how people, stocks, events react to that curve to create the diversity of outcome that otherwise appears to be randomness.  And if that moment ever presents, then an understanding of Pythagorean numeration and its implications will become vastly important in my opinion.

Just another relic.

I said in the first paragraph, perhaps in yesterday's error there is a discovery greater than that which would otherwise be deserved.  Yup, a dose of humility, always well deserved no doubt.
