Discern the beginning, 82 Wall Street, or, perhaps, an ending

120 Liberty Street was an early office of WD Gann as I have read, the address used to publish the OROLO advertisements.  I understand this was about 1909.  Today it is about as close to the location of the South Pool of the WTC Memorial as one can get.  See a discussion and pictures HERE.  It was notable, no it was concerning to me that his earlier office, which still stands and is the location of a 9/11 memorial organization, stood near contiguous with the WTC.  Coincidence no doubt.  I could accept that.  Curious that Mr. Gann's earliest office (I think it is but have not researched) would so happen to be located so near the 2001 event that Rabi Jonathan Cahn would theorize is the first warning or "The Harbiner" of God's removal of grace from one of two countries organized "under God."  The other being, of course, Israel before Christ.

Later in his career Mr. Gann's office was located at 82 Wall Street which I visited on June 21, 2015 and took this picture:

Just to the right, I parked at a group of traffic posts on either side that narrowed Wall Street to a very large intersection.  I've later determined that intersection to be Wall and Water Streets and the corner building containing 82 Wall Street is the northwest corner of the intersection.  This is a picture of that exact intersection at which I parked that can be displayed by and attends the Google Map:

You can match the two above pictures on the AT&T ad in the window to the right of the doors to 82 Wall Street.  The big intersection I failed to remember is Wall Street and Water Street:

To put a finer point on it, 82 Wall Street IS the building on the northwest corner of Wall Street and Waters Street.  And what, in history, had a notable beginning at that location?  Perhaps the organized public stock market, the NYSE?  Read the pre Buttonwood history of the earliest trading of securities in the first years of the Nation located HERE and consider the following painting of that intersection in that article:

Not a historian, I have to rely on Wikipedia that tells me the first recognizable trading in the infant Nation's history occurred at the Merchant's Coffee House on the southeast corner of Wall Street and Water.  However, with the creation of the Buttonwood Agreement on May 17, 1792, the parties determined the first permanent location of trading would be the building on the northwest corner of Wall Street and Water.  I believe that is the building I photographed on June 21, 2015, the morning of the 2015 summer solstice.  With Buttonwood, Wikipedia declares "..a new organisation of tradespeople" was born.  

WD Gann's last offices and first offices (to the best of my knowledge) were located at ground zero of the New York Stock Exchange and ground zero, quite literally, of the monument of the, alleged / therorized, first warning of calamity.  The 'coincidence' noted in the first paragraph is, seemingly, double downed.  

Now consider what we know of Mr. Gann's methods of identifying "Future Trends."  We must get the "beginning" right.  From "The Tunnel thru the Air" pages 78 and 176, respectively: 

Did he correctly 'discern?'  I'll avoid further tempting reflection in this long post.  And well I should forebear, I really don't know what to think as yet.

GGG: 3 right triangles formed out of gravestones…who'd thunk it? The "Triple Triangle?"

Let's see, 12 and only 12 gravestones all facing Lower Manhattan (and the WTC Memorial by the way).  Just 12 slap happy Masons wanting to play a joke on those who seriously follow WD Gann.  I really don't think so.  Twelve persons of great knowledge, discipline and diligence that wanted to preserve and then reveal knowledge to those who would seek it.

I revealed the Gravestone Diamond first because I instinctively sensed its existence when I stood behind Mr. Gann's stone on June 21, 2015.

And because it points to the place of the birth of the nation; Federal Hall where the Congress of the Confederation was seated in 1988 when the Constitution was ratified.  Ground Zero for this Nation.  You can place two of Mr. Gann's offices very near that same line; 82 Wall Street and 120 Liberty Street.

And because the Diamond points to the World Trade Center, which, some might argue, would be the "Harbinger" of an end to the nation as founded.  Judgment in the place and according to the time of one's nativity.  Perhaps a capstone.

Do the 12 occupants of those plots on the side of a hill in Green-Wood Cemetery constitute a jury or observer's of fact?  Let the math and geometry speak for itself.  Then let your imagination consider.  As Lord Bacon said and I paraphrase, "We read not to argue, but to consider."

My first realization following that of the Diamond concerning the 12 gravestones was set of 3 right triangles created by stones 1, 5, 11 and 7:

A grand triangle formed by stones 1, 11 and 7 and lesser triangles formed by stones 1, 5 and 11 and 5, 11 and 7.  How close might they be to right triangles?  Pretty close:

Obviously, there are measurement problems previously noted.  As well, I am using Euclidian geometry to evaluate distances measured by a spherical or non Euclidian system of geometry (Google or the Haversine formula)…should be minor but acknowledged.  And still further, gravestones are heavy and might be expected to settle over the, at least, 60 years they have been in place.

So it seems incredible to me that the triangles are yet as perfect as they appear.  The right angles, at an average of 91.2 degrees, are true to nearly one degree.  Great effort and diligence must have been applied by not only the Masons entrusted with carrying out the arrangement instructions but the workers who placed the monuments as well.  Just my opinion.  If I find that Mr. Gann's stone was the last placed, then I expect he supervised the project over many years, leaving only the final placement.

There is a further gem among these three; it is the component angles of triangle 1-5-11.  I expect the intent of that triangle is the perfect Pythagorean 3-4-5 triangle (an arithmetic progression of the sides) having angles of 90, 53 and 37 degrees.  Not only does it impart Masonic meaning (in my non Masonic understanding)….but it is the "R.C." signifying the Rosicrucian.  The sign of the Rosicrucian may well be the rose placed on Mr. Gann's gravestone at both the upper right and left corners (see them HERE and HERE).

But let's cross the 't' on the Rosicrucian thread.  As Lord Francis Bacon allegedly inserted the rose on page 57 of certain of Shakespeare's works to confirm not only his authorship thereof but his Rosicrucian alliance, so Mr. Gann placed a rose on page 37 of "The Tunnel Thru the Air."  Recall on the inscrutable page 37 of "The Tunnel Thru the Air" we find the "Rose of Charity".  I have previously discussed this at length HERE.  It is said that Rosicrucians believed they could predict the future.

The Triple Triangle…  I have every anticipation that Mr. Gann gave us the "Triple Triangle" in TTTTA on page  in 1927 full well knowing that it would be complete with the placement of the last gravestone, probably his in 1955 (I'm guessing his was the last but haven't that information as yet).  And knowing, as well, that I would identify it 88 years later in 2015 (the 7th Prophecy of WD Gann).  Remember the triple triangle:

I believe this may be the Triple Triangle spoken of in TTTTA.  But that's me.  Many other interesting and plausible meanings have been and/or will be proposed.

I am convinced there are many many more secrets in the WD Gann Memorial Triangle (GMT), the WD Gann Gravestone Geometry (GGG) and WD Gann's Philosophical Synthesis.   Secrets that Mr. Gann and, perhaps, 11 other Masons took to the grave and enshrined in their gravestones with the intention of preserving the knowledge entrusted them and, ultimately, having it discovered.  I don't know what that knowledge is…as yet and maybe never will.  But I wonder if man is any more ready for it now than in 1927.

WD Gann's 6th Prophecy and 120 Liberty Street

Before the June 21, 2015 trip to New York City, a friend informed me that Mr. Gann had an earlier office (earlier than 82 Wall Street) at 120 Liberty Street.  In the excitement of visiting my priority 1 sites and getting to Green-Wood Cemetery which was my top goal, I did not seek out that address.  A big mistake.

First, it is within walking distance of the South Pool of the 9/11 Memorial.  Second, I got lost on those streets and probably walked right past it when trying to find the parking lot that housed my car:

What a coincidence….so close to 9/11 considering the substance of the 6th prophecy I have documented.

But this one really struck me.  Who is the present occupant of 120 Liberty Street?

Can't make it up.  The 9/11 Tribute Center.  Visit it HERE.

Instinctively, I look at the map above and wonder "Is there a right 'spacetime' triangle comprised of St Pauls Chapel, the 9/11 Memorial and the Tribute Center?"  Did Mr. Gann vacate 120 Tribute Center to create a date necessary for such a 'spacetime' triangle?

GGG: WD Gann's Gravestone Geometry - the diamond

Henri Bergson, "Creative Evolution", 1911

As I stood behind Mr. Gann's gravestone on June 21, 2015, I was aware of several geographic realities around me and I instinctively perceived others.  I knew that the great tree some 40 or so feet in front of me totally blocked a view of Lower Manhattan, most recognized by One World Trade Center, and a view to my left of the Statue of Liberty.  I knew these things for having walked past the great tree and having move back and forth to see these artifacts without obstruction by other lesser trees.  Here's the picture of that view on June 21:

But I instinctively perceived something else; a geometry which I've before mentioned, known to me out of instinct ….not out of my knowledge of reality (as I had known the location of One World Trade Center).  I perceived a geometry that the some number of stones to the left and right of me and in front of me were also aligned with Mr. Gann's stone and Lower Manhattan.  The Wood-Green Cemetery map showed them aligned with the laid out alignment of the hill and all the contiguous rows of graves (see it HERE).  But that was not the case.  There was some number of stones aligned perceptibly different, at some places, almost distastefully so.  But there wasn't anything I could, that day, do on the ground with such an ill formed notion.  I couldn't, from the ground, 'see' the arrangement of many stones placed over a distance spanning maybe 100 yards.  It was not until I later looked at the pictures I took that day and the Google Earth overhead views that the geometry I imagined that day was confirmed.

The above picture shows the view of that day that had the strongest hint of a geometry; I call it WD Gann's Diamond.  In the foreground and closest is Mr. Gann's stone (white arrow), mid view of the far left and right are two aligned stones with a stone further down the slope between the two mid stones.  You can see the trunk of the great tree between the two left most arrows.  Was it a diamond or two conjoined triangles?  Of course it was:

On the above you can see the diamond in red, subdivided width-wise by a red vector that creates two roughly equal equilateral triangles and subdivided length-wise by a yellow vector creating two elongated equilateral triangles or four right triangles.  It might not escape notice that the four stones, enumerated as 5, 8, 9 and 11, add to 33.  On the face of Mr. Gann's gravestone there are two rows of 3 dots…33.

You'll also notice that the entire diamond shape points to Lower Manhattan judging from the alignment square to Mr. Gann's stone which was aligned to Lower Manhattan.  And you'll notice that the stones 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 form a line that is facing the same direction as Mr. Gann's.

How close is the diamond to two equilateral triangles?  Lots of difficulty in measurement in finding that answer.  The stones are on a downward sloping hill and, since this is the surface of the spherical earth, its spherical trigonometry, not Euclidian geometry.  Not only that, stone orientations change over the 60 years since placement (Mr. Gann's was placed in 1955).  And finally, I, nor anyone else in 60 years to my knowledge, have not taken measurements at the site.  Google Earth will need to be used to make those measurements and an assumption of where to place the 'placemark' on each stone will have to be made.  Those limitations noted and assumptions made, the above red diamond are the exact placements I made to derive the following table of distances:

One assumption I made was to place the place mark at the edge of the top of each stone (the border between the white top and the shadow of the stone which is card).  That makes lines 5-8 and 5-9 longer than 8-11 and 9-11 but about half the depth of stones 8 and 9 (stones are about 8" deep).  That allowance taken, the four sides of the diamond are pretty darn close to equal.  I suspect the Haversine calculation shows the typical error and prefer Google because Google likely uses the more accurate interative process of calculating spherical distance.  Using the later, the average of those 4 distance are 159.75 inches….say 160 inches per side was Mr. Gann's intent.

Let's settle of 3 values, then; the sides are 159.75 inches rounded to 160 inches, the horizontal red vector is 126 inches and the yellow vector is 300 inches.  What can we derive from this chimp work?

• Obviously and given the error in placement of the place marks on stones 8 and 9 we have conjoined and substantially equal equilateral triangles.  That was Mr. Gann's intent IMO,
• Consider the math of the vectors; (160/126)^2 = approximately Phi, and
• The yellow bisecting vector, indisputably, points to Lower Manhattan.

There are other insights the diamond provides, but on the third point, that yellow vector.  The vector formed by stones 5 and 11 give us a far more accurate bearing than saying "Mr. Gann's stone is square to Lower Manhattan."  Those stones are, out of recollection, maybe 40 feet apart.  It should be easy to get a reasonably accurate Cartesian bearing formed by the center point of those stones.  And that bearing will point to Lower Manhattan.  Possibly it will point, with reasonable accuracy, to One World Trade Center, or, perhaps, Federal Hall where on April 30, 1789 George Washington gave the first inaugural address to the nation, or, perhaps, the location of the NYSE…..  Or perhaps, the inaccuracy of the yellow vector may allow arguable inclusion of all of the above.

What is inescapable, in my opinion, is that the diamond proves the WD Gann Gravestone Geometry (GGG) exists and leads to further exploration using all of the 12 similarly oriented stones numerated in the first of the above inserts.  Instinct will allow one to "see" a simple cross in addition to the diamond.  One can "see" three large right triangles (a subject of a future post).  Using the 3 rows of stones ( rows of 7 stones, 3 stones and 2 stones), I can easily visualize 55 triangles within and including those 3 right triangles.   Anyone care to bet, that, once examination is complete, there aren't 82 triangles in total…..triangles within triangles?

And then there is one further extension of the triangles within triangles; time.  Every stone has dates on them.  Unfortunately, I did not take photos of the 12 stones, then not realizing research importance.  Each triangle has not only space dimensions, but time dimensions just as did WD Gann's Memorial Triangle (a preceding essay).  With, however, dozens (if not exactly 82) large, small and smaller triangles, perhaps concurrent time and space cycles can be derived.  Cycles within cycles. 

I have to make another trip with far more refined objectives…. and an instinctive open mindedness.  Developing.

GMT: The circle, triangle and square in WD Gann's Memorial Triangle

Mr. Gann found, and used his gravestone to identify, his Memorial Triangle as previously described and as shown as follows:

Within a half degree of a right triangle with stunning mathematic/geometric/chronologic properties on which I have only just begun to describe.  I believe, once fully explored, it will mirror and may rival or exceed the instructions of the Great Pyramid.

Recall the circle, square and triangle, a hallmark of Mr. Gann's teachings.  Consider if the following artifacts within the GMT were given my Mr. Gann to whet our thirst for further exploration.

The Circle.  Point 2 on the GMT is the Statue of Liberty.  An overhead picture displays the near circle:

Of course, we can see the square and the triangle all within the black outlined 11 point figure.  You might also note the elliptical shape of the island, of which the perfect circle is a theoretic and impossible subset.  Much of this island is reflective of sacred geometry but I'll bypass those thoughts.

The Triangle.  Point 1 is the WD Gann Gravestone Geometry ("GGG") which is formed by the 12 gravestones previously discussed that are perceptibly pointing (as best a person on the ground standing behind Mr. Gann's gravestone can discern) towards Lower Manhattan.  Four of those 12 gravestones form a diamond that, again perceptibly, points towards Lower Manhattan.  And half the diamond shape is a triangle:

Mr. Gann's gravestone is number 5 of the back row of 7.  [Interesting, 5 and 7, consecutive prime numbers giving you 7/5=1.4 or a crude estimate of the square root of 2 and the diagonal of a 1X1 square.]  If you take the stones 5, 8, 9 and 11 you have the diamond of which I spoke, that points to Lower Manhattan.  The yellow line in Google Earth perfectly points to the North Pool of the WTC Memorial.  The left and right red lines point to the Statue of Liberty (point 2) and Times Square (point 3).  Two halves of the diamond or stones 5, 8 and 9 and 8, 9 and 11 give you two triangles.  I am planning another visit to Mr. Gann's "courtyard" next month to take exact measurements of the distance between these stones to determine if they create exact isosceles triangles.  [Lest I forget, add the numbers of the diamond; 33.  And recall that I pointed out in a previous post that the face of Mr. Gann's gravestone have two lines each curiously containing 3 dots; 33.]

The Square.  All of which leads to point 3 of the GMT, Times Square.  This is the most dramatic of this demonstration as I will explain in the last sentence of this post.  Point 3 is the corner of the square of the Conde Nast Building located at 4 Times Square.  4 Times Square, four points of the square and how fitting that the CN Building sports a cube at its top:

Sure, any architect appreciates the square and the cube.  Not so surprising a building might sport such a figure, sport the address of 4 Times Square (particularly on Times Square) or make it 48 stories or 4X12.  But this is pretty 'in your face' is it not?

*******

And there you have it, the WD Gann Memorial Triangle with the greater symbolic geometric meaning of the circle, triangle and square. 

But that's not what keeps me up at night, adding and subtracting years, computing ratios of time and distance as I try vainly to sleep.  What makes sleep impossible is when such as the next thought dawns on me.

Mr. Gann knew the circular geometric configuration of the Staute of Liberty Island.  And he unquestionably, in my mind according to the evidence I've offered, contrived the triangular geometry of his posse's (or the "jury's") gravestones.  Those aren't what keeps me up at night.  What keeps me up at night is…

...did he or how did he know the Conde Nast Building, dedicated in 2000, 

would prominently enshrine the square?

GMT/GGG: Why 1932 Mr. Gann?

The critical battles of "The Tunnel Thru the Air" occur in 1932; the battles of Boston, New York and Washington.  And the inauguration of the "United Kingdom" occurs then as well.  1932 is one of three key points on the WD Gann Memorial Triangle which forms significant mathematic time and space properties….  Why 1932?

Would it have something to do the the birth of the nation?  The first 'organized' battle of the Revolution occurred in New York and the history of Green-Wood Cemetery (where Mr. Gann is buried) indicates the first skirmish of the battle likely occurred on that property in 1776.  From 1776 to 1932 would be an inconvenient 156 years.  Set aside the Declaration of Independence for the same reason.

How about the surrender of Cornwallis in 1781, 151 years and in Yorktown, not New York.  Or the inauguration of George Washington at Federal Hall in 1789, 143 years.  New York makes sense but 143 years.

The date of the ratification of the Constitution of the United States, June 21 1788.  The Constitution was created about September 17, 1787 but the ratification was, it would seem Mr. Gann is indicating, is the birth of the United States.  That was 144 years from the date of great fictional battles of TTTTA and the creation of the United Kingdom of the World.  144 or the square of 12, a favored number in Mr. Gann's cosmology and a notable Fibonacci number.  To boot, the Congress of the Confederation was then sitting in New York at Federal Hall on Wall Street; the financial district of Manhattan.  The beginning of the Nation in 1788 in New York and the fictional end of the Nation (and birth of the United Kingdom) 144 years later in 1932.  A 144-year grand national cycle; fictional of course.

Page 55 and repeated on page 73 (summing to 128 or a lower c on the diatonic scale), Ezekiel 21:30:

[A nuance worthy of notation.  There are 9 unnumbered pages preceding the first numbered page of TTTTA.  Page 73 plus 9 unnumbered pages sums to '82', the subject of the preceding post and what will be demonstrated to be a key to the spacial properties of the WD Gann Memorial Triangle.]

The place and time of nativity of the United States; June 21, 1788, Federal Hall of Lower Manhattan.  [I am sure there are vested researchers and historians who have found otherwise and will disagree with a lowly finite math mathematician.  I will tie in the math of the WD Gann Memorial Triangle by a later post to provide additional support, such as it may be considered or denied.]

I am shaken to consider that the group of 12 gravestones, high on a hill of Green-Wood Cemetery, facing Lower Manhattan that I have styled as "Mr. Gann's Posse" are, in reality, a jury.

Confirming aspects of Mr. Gann's Modus Operandi - 82

Some time ago, I traced several indications that WD Gann wrote or was in some way responsible for the writing and publication of "The Ancient Science of Numbers" under the pen name of Luo Clement.    I believe the evidence is a preponderance, but that's me.  Interestingly, "Ancient Science" was published by the similarly curious Roger Brothers, Publishers of 82 Duane Street.  In total, that I can find that is, there are less than 15 books (a recollection of my searching exercise) ever published by that publisher.

Following the thread, I found that a then forthcoming book on "Numerical Vibrations" was announced on the 4th page of "The Ancient Science of Numbers" and advanced orders were being taken.  "Numerical Vibration" was never published, or, at least, that I can find.  In searching and searching I found only one notice in a publication of books wanted which was dated September 22, 1920.  From 1908 to 1920, the Internet gives only one citation of any mention of "Numerical Vibrations" and it was a request to purchase the book, a book for which publication is not noticed anywhere that the Internet can find.

So, on that slimmest of a clue I found a series of articles in Scientific American published by an author who was the judge in a contest; he was named the "Einstein Essay Contest Editor."  The Einstein Editor remained anonymous to this day.  I purchased a subscription to Scientific American to read those 5 articles by the Einstein Editor and to pose the question of who was that person.  Not surprisingly, they took my question, referred it to the "appropriate department" and I have not heard from them again.  The Einstein Editor says that, similar to Michael Faraday who taught public seminars so that men without the means might understand physics, so the Einstein Editor taught night school in physics at NYU.  Similarly, I have not been able to identify the Einstein Editor on that faculty in 1920.

The 5 articles are rich in physics and the Einstein Editor, of his own device, posits the theory that a system of Cartesian Coordinates and Euclidian geometry could provide a spacetime solution that otherwise the Einsteinian theories of fourth dimensional spacetime labor to provide.  Hmmmm.

So there, I'm out on the proverbial weak limb.  What might confirm that Mr. Gann planted another date clue that would lead to some aspect of the mathematics and science that underpinned his methods?  And, having read and re read those articles, they fall in line with the other clues he's left; the cameo of Dr. Descartes in 'The Tunnel Thru the Air," Robert Gordon's 7 days being a study in Cartesian coordinates, time and the Pythagorean/Euclian solution thereby represented…..so many others.  The Einstein Editor is Mr. Gann or a member of his "posse" as I've also previously offered.

So, is there anything that might support the limb on which I'm perched?  Modus operandi.

On that striking page 82 of "The Tunnel Thru the Air," we find Mr. Gann ruminating about an article that appears in the "New York American" on January 29, 1922.  It introduces the prophecies of St Malachy and notices the "remarkable events" that will occur following the election of the 266th Pope.  Interesting that Mr. Gann would consider the events in the age of the 266th Pope in 1927 when he darn well knew the 266th Pope would not be elected for nearly 100 years.  In fact, Pope Francis is popularly considered the 266th Pope and he was elected less than 2 years ago.  Page 82 was, somehow, a clue for our age.  But I'm off topic.

Interesting.  Let's Google that date, for New York (leaving off the American) and Malachy.  Lo and behold what pops up, page 8E (the 8th page of section E) of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and the prophecies of St Malachy.  Didn't WDG live in Brooklyn-yes he did.  It is continued from page 2.  8 and 2.  As in page 82 of TTTTA.  As in 82 Duane Street, the location of the Roger Brothers.  The location of WDG's last office at 82 Wall Street.  You can find what I found right HERE.  Malachy is found in the 3rd paragraph under the subheading "His Answer to the Jews." It's interesting to read the remainder of that article.

But it doesn't stop there.  When I tried to back up to read the entire article, I had to Google "The Brooklyn Daily Eagle" January 29, 1922 and what did I see?

And what is the last two words of the first Google result?  Page 82.

How many pages are in the January 29, 1922 issue of The Brooklyn Daily Eagle?  Well, this is what the scanner counts.  It counts 81 pages and you can see the screen capture of page 2E below.  Notice that page 2E is the 64th page out of 81 pages.

Hmmm, interesting harmonics to 64.  But odd that a newspaper has 81 pages or the square of 9.  How does a newspaper have 81 pages?  There isn't a blank cover page or rear page.  I'll forego flipping through the paper for a missed scanned page…there must be an 82nd page.  Mustn't there?

I take away two things; 82 is an important number, either as a part of the geometry or as a reference to important meaning.  [I have discovered the square of 82 in WD Gann's Memorial Triangle along with 120 and 144 and will publish those findings in a forthcoming essay.]

And I take away something else.  It may be Mr. Gann's modus operandi includes using a far fetched date to link to a distant but complimentary discussion of similar concepts.

So, is it so far fetched that the never published "Numerical Vibrations" links to a single notice some 12 years later and that date leaps to the work of the Einstein Editor?

Long ago I ceased believing in coincidence.
