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.
