To understand the master, study the teacher AND WD Gann = Luo Clement, revisited

I'm sure somebody said that.  So it was with something of that mission I began studying (began again) cryptography yesterday between Khan Academy lessons on linear transformation compositions.  I really need a life.

And my studying through the history of cryptography....not modern cryptography but at its state in the early 1900s...I was led back to Lord Francis Bacon.  And that led me to the book of a Mason scholar, Richard Allan Wagner.  If you've read WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air" then you've read but not recognized Mr. Wagner.  On pages 20 and 21 you will find his name spelled with the first and last letter of each line, Richard highlighted in red, Allan highlighted in yellow and Wagner highlighted in blue:

His book which I stumbled upon was "The Lost Secret of William Shakespeare" (free for download) in which he presents a chronology of the life of Lord Francis Bacon, the believed to be son of Queen Elizabeth I and Robert Dunbury, Lord of Leicester, Bacon's tutelage by Dr. John Dee (the first "007"), Lord Bacon's involvement in the "Knights of the Helmet" "invisible" society, and writing of the works of Shakespeare, the development of Rosicrucianism, , and most of all, Lord Bacon's use nom de Plume, ciphers and other devices to encode meaning into otherwise, apparent plain text.

What a sentence.  Been reading too much old stuff.  The "most of all" is the important part; that being nom de plume, ciphers and other devices.  But first, the teacher of the teacher (as my proposition goes) would be, working backwards WD Gann < Lord Francis Bacon < Dr. John Dee.  Hmmm, that might be relegating Mr. Gann to a lesser status and that's not the intent.  So first, recall John Dee is not mentioned in the narrative of TTTTA.  But I found "Dee" 45 times, exactly, in the telestic encoding of TTTTA.

Hmmm, 45 times, sounds like Mr. Gann's attraction to the 45 degree angle.  But I wander.  You ask, "Dee" has very common letters...could be random.  Nope.  There is a second name for John Dee which he used in his secret correspondence with Queen Elizabeth I; "007."  Google it "John Dee" and "007."  And that second name, "007," is found as a telestic word in the perfect center of TTTTA by lines reckoned from the first page of Chapter 1.  There are 22 occurrences of "Dee" before "007" and 23 occurrences after, adding to 46 when including "007."  Here's "007:"

Now the student of John Dee, Lord Bacon.  We find him once and once only in TTTTA holding a Bible, we'd think the King James Version, pronouncing "There God speaks" on page 126 of TTTTA.  How appropriate that Lord Bacon, holding the Bible translation which many attribute to Lord Bacon's guidance in development.  Perhaps Lord Bacon encoded his wisdom and that of John Dee in the KJV hiding it in the unique style and nuance of the KJV?  Might Mr. Gann, having studied the Bible so relentlessly, been knowingly studied Lord Bacon?  Many say Mr. Gann carried only the KJV of the Bible.  Interesting.

Now, what were some of the ciphers used by Lord Bacon that WD Gann might have used?  My study of Mr. Wagner's book is only beginning but the first thing I checked was the manner in which Lord Bacon used ciphers.  He used several ciphers listed by Mr. Wagner; simple, reverse, short and Kaye, aside from the Pythagorean symbol group (Luo Clement's table of values appearing in "The Ancient Science of Numbers").  Those ciphers are available on page 60 of the free download book linked above.  And with those cipher tables, Mr. Wagner indicates Christian Rosenkruetz, via Pythagorean values, and Shakespeare via simple cipher, compute to 103.  Here are the calcs on the left side of the below in red:

So, remembering the many essays in which I've offered WD Gann = Luo Clement, I have always been perplexed and frustrated that Clement's table of Pythagorean values would not equate any permutation of WD Gann's name ("William D. Gann," or "William Gann" or "WD Gann") to Luo Clement (who that anyone can tell never existed).  I knew Mr. Gann would confirm that Luo Clement was a nom de plume of WD Gann via letter number values.  And so, I had to try the calcs implied by Mr. Wagner's tables.    

The "Elizabethan Kaye cipher" applied to WD Gann does equal the application of the "Elizabethan reverse cipher" applied to Luo Clement at 137, highlighted in yellow above.  

If I made a calculation error, please don't tell me as in my present state I'm happy.  I knew that equivalence had to be out there and I now have a 'happy ending.'  Harmony reigns.

Did the genius student of the genius teachers use their methods of encoding in TTTTA?  Yes, the nom de plume Luo Clement and the confirmation via letter number encoding.  I've only begun to study Mr. Wagner's identification of methods.  I find it promising.

Happy 4th of July in advance,
