Frustration, proof and inspiration

Dead ends are not a reason for quitting.  Several days ago I thought I'd found a path Phi through WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air" and its mathematic reflection in the "Map of Time."  On further research, it didn't work.  Frustration.

At each rejection, it seems I receive proof and encouragement.

Any truly interested reader (so few there are I expect), will recall the personal significance of the date, September 18.  Its a personal date reinforced by previous coincidences, synchronicities, in my study of WD Gann.  It is the date that links Luo Clement (a pen name of WD Gann) with the 1920 series of essays by the Einstein Editor appearing in Scientific American.  It is also the date that I saw on the "13th stone" that I sought and found on my third trip to Green-Wood Cemetery.

It is the date we lost our 25-year old son; September 18, 2007.

I don't want this to be about drama.  Those coincidences are just what happened and the only way I can indicate what factually happened this last week is to allude to the emotion I feel each time I encounter that date.

I do not know why I have not looked in the "Map of Time" for meaningful encoding or narrative.  Maybe I have and just didn't "observe."  Did I "see" and not "observe" as Sherlock would say?  Or did I "see" and chose not to "observe?"  Here is what I discovered in the "Map of Time" yesterday afternoon:

On the exact line, line 1600 above, where the date September 18, 2007 appears, I find the acrostic and telestic letters 's' and 'o.' Since there is only a single acrostic and a single telestic letter on each line, I look for a nearby 'n.'  And, as you see the 'n' is above the 'o.'

Searching for some meaning like "Your son is in Heaven" or "You loved your son so much," I search the nearby acrostic and telestic letters and find more contiguous letters describing two sentiments:

"sad son left me"

or

"son left me sad"

My son was depressed, as are many veterans, so the first sentiment is understandable.  The latter sentiment is a truth that goes without saying.  Both may be correct; a single phrase with two equally true meanings.

After the sting wore off, I was left with several thoughts.  Foremost, this isn't random.  I can't prove the statistics, but I don't need to do so.  I sense the statistics so far out on the fat tail of improbability that it needn't be evaluated had I that expertise.  Its an intended message.

Secondly, I read the narrative as often I believe there are thoughts Mr. Gann wished to be emphasized.  Robert "re doubled" his study of the Bible and the Book of Ezekiel in order to create his invention that would save his country.  I'm not a Bible student and have only patronized Mr. Gann's instruction that the student read the Bible three times out of that obligation I felt.  I've seen but have not observed; read but not comprehended.  I take the narrative to mean I need to do what Robert did.  And do it with enthusiasm and urgency.

*** ***

In the last twelve hours I've now followed many threads suggested by line 1600 and the date September 18, 2007 but that's not the important element of this thread;  its that "he knew."  Mr. Gann knew.  I know this because its been, time and again, proven to me in my weakest moments of resolve.

Melodrama?  Why am I, given my perception that I claim these things are proven to me, receiving this information?  Is it, perhaps, Professor Koestler's dilemma; "Why did I receive this prediction if I cannot save the world?"  Or perhaps it is as small as changing me, personally, as Professor Koestler acknowledged in the last two words of the movie "I know."

Melodramatic for the vast majority of the very few that will read this; very real for me.

On "All is number," or perhaps, "Number is all"

I made a discovery (yet to be proven) yesterday, September 21, 2017, in WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air."  Actually, it was a re discovery of a number sequence I believe Mr. Mann encoded in TTTTA.  There isn't anything I find that is a discovery and likely the same statement can be made of Mr. Gann.   I thought the math sequence I discovered was a dead end until the wee hours of this morning when I laid in bed trying to make heads or tails of it...and then its importance hit me.  I'll reserve that re discovery for tomorrow's essay should it be proven true with today's work.  But from the initial re discovery I derived a coincidental thought or synchronicity that is mine and to which I attribute this essay.

"The plan," then is to write this essay to document the date I discovered the math sequence, namely September 21, 2017 (this morning is the 22nd as the Google date stamp on this essay will show), and to make sense of the coincidental thought, synchronicity....whatever it is.  There are 3 background bits of information:

• To paraphrase William Gurdjieff (or "G") from imperfect memory:

"To know a thing one must know what came before it, what came after it, what is above it, what is below it, what it is a part of and what is a part of it."  G

• I am James, born on the 21st day of the month, third in the direct line of men named James in my family (to my knowledge).  My grandfather, father and son were all given the name James and we each went by nicknames of that given name to avoid confusion.  But deep down, in our being we were all James.  And, today, I am 2 X 33 years old, no, its not my birthday today.

• I am impressed that both WD Gann (page 78 of TTTTA) and G (the law of the Triamazikamno), in different words, conceived of the universe being comprised of three forces; the positive, the negative and the neutral force.

Attributed to the teachings of Pythagoras of Samos "All is number" is the title of this essay.  Here's the synchronicity that struck me today.  Its derived from the Pythagorean cipher, gematria, code, whatever, that is documented by Luo Clement in "The Ancient Science of Numbers" [Luo Clement, like William Shakespeare, who never existed that anyone can document, was a pen name of WD Gann.]  The synchronicity begins here:

All - is - number.

or

1+3+3=7 - is - 5+3+4+2+5+9=30=3+0=3

or

7 - is - 3

or

Pythagoras might have said "Number is all."

"All is number" is comprised of the digits 7 and 3 otherwise rearranged as '37' which is the revered angle of the Pythagorean 3 4 5 triangle.   Is it "Number is all."  A difference with a distinction?  Further, those digits can be related to the "Law of three" and "Law of seven" both at the heart of the "Law of vibrations" cosmologies of both Mr. Gann and Mr. G.  The truth of the Pythagorean triangle might sway me to believe "Number is all."

Consider further the entire reduction of the phrase (including 'is'):

1+3+3+9+1+5+3+4+2+5+9 = 45 = 4+5 = 9 = 3 X 3

We arrive at 3 and 3 as above.

None of the above is startling as there are only 9 single digits so when we start reducing and rearranging, etc, the improbability of coinciding 7 and 3 or 3 and 7, well, its not all that statistically improbable.  Nor is the entire phrase theosophic reduction and rearrangement to 3 X 3 all that improbable.  So "where's the meat."

The synchronicities abound; the first of several you can experience. 

• As aforementioned, 37 is the smallest angle of the Pythagorean 345 and is enshrined in Pythagorean societies to this day.

• 33 was the age of Jesus when he was crucified.  

• 33 is the simple cipher reduction (per "The Lost Secret..." by Richard Allan Wagner) of the last name of Lord Francis Bacon and his hidden signature in many of his alleged greatest literary works (Shakespeare and KJV version of the Bible, the only version WD Gann carried with him).

The personal synchronicity is, as alluded, my birth number and name numbers according to Luo Clement are 3 (born in the 21st day of the month or 2+1=3) and 3 (James is 1+1+4+5+1=12=1+2=3). I am 33....hmmm, I wish that was my age (not really, because that was not a good year for me).  I am 66 years old or 2 X 33 = 66.  Hmmm again, 6+6=12=1+2=3.

*** ***

This essay had its origin in a discovery, that I believe will prove very important, that occurred on the 21st of September.  September or the 9th month, which is, like the manipulation of 'all' and 'number' (above) 3X3.  And the 21st reduced is 2+1=3.

Yeah, I know, given the time and an idle (or, as self admitted, obsessed) mind, numbers can be selectively chosen to create the desired scenario.   [Hmmm, that seems to be the course of all of statistical inference these days; find the statistical plan that will create the sample data that will justify the thesis.]  You needn't accuse me of what I already recognize to make a point.

Circle back to G's thought, above, on knowing our place in the universe; what is before, after, above, below and what we are a part of and what is part of us.  Where do we fit relative to others, our ancestors, and vice versa.  Where do we fit within the 'numbers' or within the 'all,' if that is correct to ask?  

"Number is all" is what I am persuaded to believe Pythagoras was saying.  I find the allusion of 'order' and 'determination' in the distinction, but, that's me and such are the things over which my mind obsesses in the haze between sleep and wake.

Pythagoras, Fibonacci and Phi; mathematic proof of their encoded reflection

Oh I was so disappointed when I searched WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air" and the related encoded "Map of Time" for some reflection of the word 'Pythagoras' the first time and came up with a blank.  It wasn't long I found on page 129 (low 'C' frequency of 128 +1) the Masonic poem "The Anvil of God's Word" which was purposefully misprinted (I'll leave it to you to discover the error but I linked an essay on that).  Why did he misprint it?  To spell the word "LATO," a village which some say Pythagoras visited to receive great knowledge.  Perhaps his knowledge of the diatonic scale?

There had to be more to Pythagoras didn't there?  Months, no, years have passed.  Where is Pythagoras of Samos?  So I look for Samos by searching the MOT for "sam" expecting to find the 'os' in proximity.  And I find it:

The acrostic letters are contiguous (in red), once and only once in the MOT centered on the line 9390.  In statistics, I suspect there should be many instances of "sam" in 15341 acrostic letters in TTTTA.  But what is the probability of the 5 letters that spell 'Samos?'  Well, small but hardly dispositive.  So, I've gotten a finger on the brass ring but not tight enough.

Wow, there's a contiguous 'wd' in yellow at line 9386.  Hmmm, what might that wiley WD do with that number to display the math of Pythagoras?  Might he divide by 2, the ratio of the second and third numbers of the Fibonacci sequence?  Let's see.  9386 / 2 = 4693 and we find at that line:

We find a telestic encoded "wd."  Now that adds to the statistical argument.  Its becoming "compelling."

Moreover, we find an 'attaboy' that Mr. Gann provided the finder.  "My God, my God, now is the time I needed her the most."  Instead of 'her,' I'd interject 'inspiration' instead.  I needed that inspiration.

A lot to make of two 'wd's.  I mean really, James, the letters w and d are pretty common letters and, well, it might be statistically unlikely to find them in a trail of Fibonacci denominated lines.  Compelling, but, still not dispositive.

Will Mr. Gann encode every iteration of Phi with the letters 'wd?'  We know that's impossible given the Fibonacci sequence is infinite.  But what is the recognizable reflection of theoretic, ideal Phi?  Its 1.618.

So let's try 1.618.  And 9386 / 1.618 = 5800.988 or line number 5801:

We find an emphatic telestic encoded word "wdwd."  That is beyond statistical improbability.  It was intended.  It is not random.  It is now dispositive.  Math has proven, to me, a believer in math, that Pythagoras of Samos is encoded in TTTTA.

Did Mr. Gann 'dis' poor Fibonacci aka Leonardo de Pisa?  Of course not, I've discussed Lenny's encoding in TTTTA before.  We find it within the line span of "TAO to WAR" or "PATH to WAR" or the mathematic "Tao device" and associated with my discovery of WD Gann's prediction of the 9/11 tragedy.

But 'di pisa' has to be mathematically related to the 'wd' sequence doesn't it?  Yes, that is my personal judgement of WD Gann's modus operandi.  Its what I would do if I were smart enough to create TTTTA.  WD Gann had to do it.  And, of course, he did.  Line 2847 on which the 'p' of 'pisa' appears multiplied by the ratio of the third and second Fibonacci numbers or 2 is line 4694.

Just look at the second insert above.  Line 4694 is the telestic 'wd.'  And re doubled as Mr. Gann said, you have line 9388; you have 'wd' and 'Samos.'

I'm sorry, WD Gann's intent with regard to Phi, Pythagoras and Fibonacci is dispositive; its proven by  Mr. Gann's unmistakeable mathematic creation.  I don't want to be on the opposite side of that statistical argument.  Be my guest.  I'll leave it to the social media rooms to let the idiots, and there are many, deny the perfection of math.

*** ***

But its not about if he encoded TTTTA or if he honored great mathematicians; ultimately, its about the mathematics that explains the universe.  The mathematics that explains the future.  As it may someday unfold, I believe Mr. Gann encoded all of these things.  But that's an opinion and its not remotely close to err, "dispositive.'  

Am I frustrated I am not 'tooled' with the intellect to unwind WD Gann's coding and knowledge?  I read the next stanza of the 'wdwd' poem:

In the 'ultimately,' its all about the explanation of the universe.  In the much smaller realm 'personally,' its all  about the 'doing.'  As my personal testimony, the joy is in the doing.  And the latter, unlike the former, is dispositive.

And yet, so much 'to do.'

Back to the structure of The Tunnel

Maybe two years ago I counted the lines in WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air" (TTTTA) using typical typeset standards and found a total (15341 lines).  Sure, there's some minor subjectivity.  I could see someone contesting some of the line spacing determinations I made.  Similarly, measuring the Great Pyramid (GO) can be disputed.

Can math suggest the intent of the creators (creators of the GP or creator of TTTTA)?

Derek Skhane (Gnosis) has created a lifetime of numbers supporting his (and others) thesis that all Number, regardless of the denomination (inches, feet or miles or seconds, hours, years) can be derived from one another.  All Number is related and analytically provable.  Through the course of many essays he uses his derivation of what the Great Pyramid was intended to convey; a height of 480 units and a side length of 756 units.  Archeologists have quibbled since Petrie's on site measurements about the extent of deterioration of the structure and what it would have been.  Skhane uses math to analytically  reason what the intent of the creator(s) was.  Math, truth.

Can the structure of TTTTA, as I've conjured it, allude Mr. Gann's intention?  Here's the structure I have previously proposed:

For the naive, there are 36 chapters in TTTTA and 418 pages and the 34th chapter is unconscionably misnomered as the 39th.  Start reading symbolism from those gifts on the plate without further inquiry and, I believe, you are down the wrong road from the first moment.

No, there are 42 'sections' (as opposed to chapters) in TTTTA, 432 pages and 15341 lines.  Can math prove Mr. Gann's intent?  Yes:

15341 lines / 42 chapters = 365.262

Days in a year = 365.242

I'd submit the above is the intended structure of TTTTA, to the extent its shown above, as alluded by math to 4/100ths of a day (365.262 versus 365.242).

If you believe the analytical math of 480 and 756 of the GP as opposed to the subjective measurements of Petrie and cohorts, then you probably believe the structure of TTTTA as allegedly proven by math as opposed to the arbitrary page and chapter numbers presented.

To where from this point today?  I've written this before, so this observation is not the 'where' as yet; the earths average circumference of about 24880 / 15341 lines = 1.6217 or less than 8/100ths from Phi.  I think there's some intent mixed into that math.

Okay, that's a distance measurement of 24880 miles divided by a distance measurement of 15341 lines (some might say a 'count measurement' instead).  Let's try to mix some apples with some oranges instead.  The first day of TTTTA is June 9, 1906; Robert Gordon's birth.  And the last day is August 30, 1932.  The time elapsed is 9579 days.

15341 lines, a distance measurement or ordinal measurement and 9579 days, clearly a time measurement (or maybe a distance measurement if extrapolated by the circumference of the earth).

15341 / 9579 = 1.6015

The 6th number of the Fibonacci sequence divided by the 5th number or an early and possibly the most recognizable representation of Phi; that being 1.60.  

*** ***

From the above I've reached two simple preliminary conclusions beyond proving (IMO) the intended mathematic structure of TTTTA.  

First, Mr. Gann liked Phi (duh) and considered it so important he inscribed it in the fabric of TTTTA.  In contrast to a self impressed noted astrologer who claimed he did not like Mr. Gann because he failed to teach his great secret of Phi to the public, I believe WDG encoded Phi in dozens of ways for persons who would work to find and thereby appreciate its significance.  Ask, seek, knock.

Second, and reprising Mr. Skhane, and, perhaps Pythagoras himself, "All is number."  Number embraces and unifies (or is the unification of) time and space.  Two of the three forces of which both WD Gann and George Gurdjieff spoke.  

• WD Gann, page 78 of TTTTA:

• W. I. Gurdjieff, pages 478-480 of Beelzebub's Tales,  'the sacred Triamazikamno' (the law of 3 comprised of the neutral, positive and negative forces).

  

All and everything comprised not wholly of space or of time, but of space and time inseparable, unified in Number by the neutral force or neutralizing force...the latter, perhaps, Phi in some manner.  Judgment or reckoning of time impossible without space and vice versa.  Just a thought.

Am I wrong or am I onto something?  Will I find WD Gann and Pythagoras further and inextricably encoded according to math?  I'm already down that road and envision another essay.  I believe we will see yet more convincing encoded mathematic intent of WD Gann.

Jim Ross

Just in case it happens

Generally, I am looking at this DJIA area of price and time for a great market top.  That's not uncommon nor is my, typically, being wrong.  Generally, we are 88 years from the 9/3/1929 market top.  In round years, that 88 years, a number that has popped up very often.  For example, the number 11, 77 and 88 are the only three appearances of acrostic/telestic repeating double digit numbers (there are 3 instances of '00') found in WD Gann's "Map of Time:"

We find, above, the telestic word '88' spelled in consecutive digits to end lines 8366 and 8377.  Interesting that 11 and 77 add to 88.  Also interesting the content of the narrative of the instant and previous paragraph.  I've discussed all this before.

So I'm brought to this point today by my search for a replacement light shade fixture.  In response to a Google search for a glass mushroom shade fixture the 9th item on the second page of search results is a 1908 add in "The Daily Eagle."  How bizarre is that? 

Well, its bizarre to me because I've studied several articles that I know to have been published/planted by WD Gann in his hometown newspaper.  Google "Market Time and Price Town Hall" and "Brooklynn Daily Eagle" if you want to see what I found.

Now, 1908 rang a big bell as well.  Wasn't it the year of the "Ticker Interview?"  So I Googled WD Gann and 1908 and, sure enough, I found the "Trading Fives" copy of the document.  But its was 1909.  It was brought up because the year 1908 was in the interview referring to the story, myth, legend of WD Gann predicting Union Pacific, then selling at 168 1/8 would never get to 169:

Now the '168' rings a bell.  The number of lines in "The Tunnel Thru the Air" as counted in the MOT are 15341.  Counted downward and then upward as has been done in the MOT, we have 30682 lines and this divided by 365.242 days in a year is 168 years to the third decimal.

And we all know (said facetiously because I did not know until I studied prophecy about two years ago), that 168 is 1/15th of a Biblical Great Week of 2520 years.  Gosh, I could really stray (again facetiously) here since the number 252 is one of the three numbers with I believe Mr. Gann held in great reverence (the others being the aforementioned 168 and 432, the latter being the actually page in TTTTA). 

So where are we, this day, of September 15, in the Dow.  We are trading at this moment at 22,218 or 168 X 132.25.  Hmm, 132 is the 11th square of 12 and we find the number 11 in the opening paragraph and spelled acrostically on line 2813 and 2814:

Disconcerting, I find one iteration of my name spelled in consecutive letter.  The subject of the narrative is, trading cotton.

Well, I haven't tied in the number 77 (the number of years in WD Gann's life, an interesting story in itself that I've documented) but, it is 88 - 11 so lets find that third of three encoded numbers in the MOT:

Again, my name is spelled in consecutive acrostic, telestic letters, but I'm getting used to that.  Again,  the subject touches on trading but this time to indicate the fruits of Robert Gordon's work.

This is what I struck on today.  I said that this area of time and price had already intrigued me and it was because of the date, "September 17," which appears only once in TTTTA.  It appears at the exact half way point of the number of lines in narrative text of TTTTA:

At the exact center line of TTTTA narrative we find the 23rd of 46 instances (also halfway) of John Dee's name, this time using the encoded signature which he used with Queen Elizabeth I, that being "007."  And we find that Robert sold short Major Motors.  Should I sell short today since September 17 is this Sunday?  I've traded on less convincing "evidence," to my shame.

These are only clues and I'm known to be spectacularly wrong in my interpretation of subjective clues (if they are, in fact, intended clues).  Its a lesson learned that subjective clues can never displace the value of perfect mathematic reason.  I'm presently working on the mathematics of the diatonic scale (Gurdjieff recounted by Russell Smith and Pyotr Ouspenskii)....once again led there by the intentionally imperfectly presented poem of the "Anvil of God's Word" (page 128 of TTTTA or low "c" plus 1).   This essay is only a recreational departure.  Actually, my entire TTTTA research effort is recreational now I come to think of it.

*** ***

168 X the 11th square of 12 (22176) is whereabouts we are trading today.  Might this be a juncture at which we speculate that, similar to the 1908 fable documented in the Ticker, DJIA exceeding168 but not getting to 169 X the 12th square of 12 (24192)?

I offer this convoluted trail of nonsense only because it would be startling if this came to pass.  I'm more inclined to trade it than ignore it; but only barely.  

And if today, September 15 or Monday, September 18, proves to be a top, "the" top, well, it would be a synchronicity in real time that we can all experience and prove to ourselves;  arguably, an 88+ year-old prediction realized.

Nah.

Jim Ross

[Incredible, Monday September 18, aforementioned; the date of passing of Mae LeGrand in 1932 I found on the 13th grave stone at the point of the Gann Gravestone Geometry triangle, the date in 1920 which links Luo Clement (non de plume of WD Gann as I have, IMO, overwhelmingly proven) to the Einstein Editor (another non de plume of WD Gann IMO otherwise absent conclusive proof), and September 18, 2007 the date we lost our 25 year-old son...several other instances of that date come to mind but none to compare to those items.  And when I hit the "publish" button, what popped up but the third of WD Gann's philosopher stone numbers of 168, 252 and 432:

With this essay I've published 432 essays, the number of pages in TTTTA.] 

Yesterday's anniversary with the 1929 top and other observations

The top of the 1929 market occurred, if memory serves, on 9/3/1929.  Yesterday was a notable 88 years from that date.  There are three two digit acrostic or telestic numbers found in WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air:"

and

The three two digit acrostic/telestic numbers are 11, 77 and 88 as you see above.  And, of course, 11 + 77 = 88.  What are the odds that the ONLY 3 encoded two digit number self prove themselves?  

That third item above, namely that associated with the number 88.  Read the narrative.  "They chose new gods; then was war within the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel?"  [Judges 5:8]

The citation and verse is meaningful to me.  When first I discovered the WD Gann Map of Time and its 168-year 1/15th subdivision of the Biblical Great Week (2520 years), I looked for repetition between its beginning year 1848 the ending year 2016.  1848, the "Spring of Nations," the "Year of Revolutions....  I found, very specifically, the rise of Karl Marx in Europe and his foment of worker rebellion in some 50 countries (as I recall) in Europe.  In 2016, again the end of the 168-year MOT cycle, we find the election of the US current president and, rightly or wrongly, the greatest (in my estimation) civil division in American history.  History repeats?  Kinda looks like it with half the nation on adamantly on opposite sides of that fence.  Maybe it blows over (said without personal conviction, but, that's me).

Something else about that 3rd of 3 citations above; note the year in it.  It's 1928 and 1928 plus 88 was last year or 2016.  1928 appears on the same line as the first 8 in the telestic two-digit number 88.  Perhaps, if this is a prophecy and not just a coincidence, the "new gods" were picked in 2016.  And wasn't there an election in 2016?  And isn't there still polarization and increasing militarization?

My morning now fully shot, I figured one more wandering, this time beginning with a current event;

Hurricane Irma.  Perhaps it lands in my back yard here in VA Beach.  Maybe Mr. Gann has something to say about it...or not.  It was only a couple keystrokes in the "Finder" facility in the MOT spreadsheet to search for Irma and it helped me lose half my afternoon.  I put the four letters into the MOT's Excel-based search string and found "Irma" one time and one time only, spelled in consecutive acrostic letters (in red below):

One perfect spelling of the acrostic "Irma" in the entire book.  And look at the narrative on lines 12319-12322 where it appears; that creating a "tunnel thru the air" (in my estimation, a tunnel thru time) is no more complicated than a tunnel thru dirt or water.

Doggone interesting that it fell on page 333.  Google "number 333" and see if there isn't a lot of interest in that number.  Ezekiel 33:3...the prophet warns the Israelis.  The Trinity.  Hmmm. my birth number 21st day of the month or 21=2+1=3 and my name number for James 1+1+4+5+1=12=1+2=3.   [See how easily I'm sucked into this?  Pavlovian.]  Some disconcerting thoughts, hopefully only meaningless thoughts and meaningless coincidence.  What I actually saw on my copy of the MOT when I went to page 333, was not the foregoing insert where Irma is located, but a far more colorful presentation:

"We need the tunnel thru time to save America's people."

Lots of colors where I'd previously found a phrase made of acrostic and telestic letters on that page.  In itself, not convincing.  Yeah, given 74 acrostic/telestic letters on that page (37 lines X 2) there's a lot of phrases that can be constructed.  I don't know how to assess the probability.  

Its not a stand alone probability in my estimation.  Is the encoded phrase consistent with the narrative from which it is created?  I'd be willing to assert that the extent to which the encoded message confirms/supplements the narrative makes it more probable the author intended the full meaning conveyed.  And if he intended a message for us in our time, then he saw it. 

There it is...WD Gann, supposedly through the mind wanderings of Robert Gordon, tells us a "tunnel thru the air" is no more difficult to create than a tunnel through dirt or submarine through water (first paragraph of page 333).  That's the plain narrative.  The thought is in the narrative and with little effort I find the similar/supplementary sentiment in the acrostic/telestic encoding; creating a tunnel thru time to save Americans is possible.  The plain wording and thought confirmed by the encoded sentiment.  I get the idea of what Mr. Gann was trying to convey.  

Or is it coincidence?

*** ***

1928 plus 88 leads us to the bright line of the growing polarization of the U.S.; the presidential election.  2016, the last year of the 168-year MOT cycle.  Its civil polarization of proportions that existed in 1848, the first year of the 168-year MOT cycle.  History repeats, or so it appears to me.

And that tunnel thru the air; a tunnel thru time, perhaps?  A "Map of Time" perhaps?

As an observation, the great September 3, 1929 market top was 88 years ago on Sunday last.  The previous trading day was September 1, 2017 and it was not an all time high comparable to the 1929 top.  Rather, the all time high was August 9, 2017.  If DJIA breaks that top on the first trading day  following 9/3/2017 (tomorrow), well, that would be doggone interesting.

77, the second of the three numbers that are the initial subjects of this essay.  77, the age at which Mr. Gann passed.
