WD Gann's grave

He was buried in the Mason's section of Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn in plot 37747.  If you check on a list of prime numbers, you find that 37747 is the 3995th prime number if you assume 1 is not a prime number or the 3996th if you assume 1 is prime.  You can easily compute there's about 12% chance of a his securing a plot having a prime number as its denomination.  But the numbers comprising that number; if you add the 3 and 4 you have 4 sevens.

But let's not stop there by any means.  Let's take 3X7X7X4X7=4116.  And then let's take the four sevens or 7X7X7X7=2401.  And 4116 / 2401 = 1.714286.  Do you remember the essay on the Philosopher stone numbers of John Dee and WD Gann of 252 and 432, respectively.  432 / 252 = 1.714286.  And we know that the Biblical 12 and 7 divided equal 1.714286.

Oh, did I forget to mention, 1.714286 is the Egyptian royal cubit.

Contrivance or coincidence?

Long ago on this Gann journey of mine, I gave up believing in coincidence.  Perhaps you might want to re read the essay "Did WD Gann predict the date of his death."

Confirmation of Einstein prediction

You may recall that previous essays provided, in the writer's opinion, a preponderance of evidence that Luo Clement was actually a ghost name of WD Gann.  You may further recall that essays tied Luo Clement to the "Einstein Essay Editor" who, in 1920-21 published about 5 essays in Scientific American concurrent with his judging the "Einstein Essay Contest," a contest whose benefactor was Eugene Higgins (relation to Frank Higgins, doubtful but inconclusive).  One of the Einstein Editor's choices of reading regarding "Relativity" was Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington's (Cambridge) celebrated "Space Time and Gravitation" Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington (Cambridge).  [As a side, the Einstein Editor commented on the prominent omission of either a hypen or comma between the Space Time in the title as perhaps having meaning one might ponder.]

On May 29, 1919, Sir Arthur Eddington traveled to the island of Principe to observe the solar eclipse.  Based upon those observations, Eddington was able to confirm a major prediction of Einstein's work; that light was bent by gravity (see HERE).

May 29, 1919 was 96 years ago.  There's that 69 / 96 number again that was so interestingly woven into Robert Gordon's birth date, his first business address in New York City ….and the sixth prophecy of 9/11.  That 9/11 occurred 69 years and 69 days after the fictional battle of New York / creation of the United Kingdom of the World.

I discovered the May 29, 1919 date significance via the tenuous Luo Clement / Einstein Editor connection on May 29, 2015.  Exactly 96 years between the dates.

Geometric points of Force in Space and Bradley Cowan

Frequently dwelled upon quotes of Mr. Gann include his invoking an unsourced quotation of Michael Faraday in which Mr. Faraday is alleged to have said "There is nothing in the universe but mathematical points of force." [I understand this Faraday quote has been found and documented recently.]

I find in Bradley Cowan's "Four-Dimensional Stock Market Structures and Cycles" page 59 "Financial market unfold in price-time within the confines of predetermined points of force."

Of course, Bradley Cowan is a student of Mr. Gann's work so its not so surprising.

It might be worth mentioning that one of the Einstein Editor's essays dwelled on Michael Faraday's having provided free public lectures so that men, unable to afford tuition to a school, could study higher mathematics and physics.  Similarly, the never named Einstein Editor taught physics in NYU's night school.  I have twice petitioned Scientific American to name the Einstein Editor without success.

Some elegant statements contained in early chapters of Eddington's "Space Time and Gravitation"

From the Prologue- time as the fourth dimension and math and geometry incomplete without it:

From the Prologue- Bertrand Russell commenting on the fallacy of math derived from false axioms:

Perhaps then, math and geometry derived based on the 3 dimensions we "see" is false and, only upon including the fourth dimension, T or time, can we create a correct 'geometry' of reality?

From Chapter 1 "The Fitzgearld Contraction", Rene Descartes on suspending what is "known:"

From Chapter 2 "Relativity", Hermann Minkowski on space and time and space time:

Note especially the date of 1908, the same year as many believe Mr. Gann made his great discovery.  This is also the same year in which Luo Clement published "The Ancient Science of Numbers."

Again from Chapter 2:

"Length" and "duration"…space and time…denominated in miles and hours.  When I think of this paragraph, I think about "Robert Gordon's 7 days" and how we aren't given definitive times of his 20 stops during his trip.  We can only derive miles; as the crow flies, East/West miles and North/South miles.  Of course, we can derive net miles since he left NYC and returned to that same place of departure.  And we can derive net time because we are given the 7am departure from and 'almost' noon return to the 'Mammouth Building' in NYC.  But we can only denominate miles in between.  Can space and time be denominated into a common measure….miles?

And what about an observer of Robert Gordon's trip from a position on the Sun; how many times would he see the 'moving' RG appear from behind the Earth and how many times would he see the stationary 'Mammouth Building' appear from behind the Earth during those seven days.  Was RG time the same as Mammouth Building time or was motion an intervening element?

Just some thoughts,

1776, 2001 and W.D. Gann's grave

Just a note I found interesting.  In researching the grave of William Delbert Gann, which, as many know, is located in the historic Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, I found that a portion of the Cemetery was the site of the first battle of the American Revolution fought after the its Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776:

http://www.green-wood.com/event/commemoration-of-the-battle-of-brooklyn/

In The Tunnel Thru the Air, Mr. Gann chooses August 30, 1932 as the fictional date where the hero, Robert Gordon, convenes the 'Peace Conference of the World' and declares the creation of the 'United Kingdom of the World.'

On August 27, 1776 New York was, arguably, the site of the first battle of a war resulting in the separation of the American Colony from its parent (Britain).  In contrast, on August 30, 1932, New York was the site of the completion of a war and the consolidation of all countries of the world to form a new country.

A war begins and a country is dissolved.  A war ends and a country is created.  Contrived and fictional, of course.  Perhaps a theme of opposites similar to that found in the 6th Prophecy (see that series of essays)?  Again, cycle beginnings and endings as opposites?

Now perhaps the truth is stranger than fiction.  It might be noted that the Battle of Brooklyn began with General William Howe's landing British forces on Long Island on August 22, 1776 and ended with the British having captured the New York City on September 15, 1776 (see History.com HERE).  If you calculate the time between September 15, 1776 and the attack on New York's Twin Towers, you find that it is 82177 days or 224.99 years.  If you use the midpoint of the 24-day Battle or Tuesday September 3, 1776 then it would be 82,187 days or 225.02 years to the day the Towers were destroyed…Tuesday September 11, 2001.  [Correction made May 25]

Perhaps two cycles in the history of the United States each began on September 3, 1776 and September 11, 2001?

Have an enjoyable, safe and reverent Memorial Day.

The Greatest Conceptual Triangles in TTTTA or Robert Gordon's Earth Cube

From the 2nd page of the Foreword to  WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air" - I call this "Robert Gordon's 7 days challenge."  Invert the above equivalence; If one solves the mystery of RG's 7 days, then one will understand why Jesus rose on the third day and rested on the seventh [didn't God rest the seventh day, a meaningful nuance perhaps] and man's last great enemy, Death, will be overcome.  Quite a challenge for Robert Gordon.

Background; the inscrutable and intentionally misnumbered Chapter 39.  The hero of WD Gann's TTTTA, Robert Gordon, circumnavigates the earth in less than a week (6 days and 5 hours according to a person sitting on a park bench in NYC watching him depart and return, but 5 days and 5 hours according to the number of sunrises RG would have seen) after the final battle of the Great War and destroys buildings of the great cities of the enemies of the US.  Including both end points (NYC departure and NYC return), there were 22 stops along the circumnavigation route as RG stopped, destroyed buildings of enemies or conveyed appreciation among allies.  When one analyzes the "crow flies" distance of his trip and then parse it into East/West miles and North/South miles, you end up constructing 1) an isosceles triangle if measured at the latitude of NYC and 2) a right triangle if measured relative to the equator.  RG's 7 days is, on the surface, a study in Euclidian geometry measured according to Cartesian coordinates (a "system of DesCartean coordinates).  The math is so perfect as to defy one who might deny Mr. Gann's conscious contrivance.  Following is the math I developed in posts beginning several months ago:

Robert Gordon's 7 day trip covered 33,543 (columns 'c', red cell) miles as the 'crow flies' computed using both the Haversine formula for spherical distance and according to the many distance calculators available on the Internet.  Parsed by absolute direction and absolute miles, he traveled 18,213 miles East/West and 18,495 North/South (see the two green cells), again computed both by Haversine and Internet calculators.  With the E/W distance so closely corresponding the N/S distance, we have an approximate 18/18/33 conceptual isosceles triangle….or a coincidence so saith the denier.  [One might note the distance around the earth at the latitude of NYC is 18,842 according to the Haversine formula.]

Let's eliminate coincidence.  RG's trip began and ended at NYC (NYSE latitude 40.7069) so all of the N/S calcs above were from latitude 40.7069.  Thinking as an Einsteinian relativist would (I think), time and space are different at the equator relative to the 40th parallel.  As the earth turns, a person standing on the floor of the NYSE is traveling at a speed of 785 MPH (18,842 miles / 24 hours) relative to a person standing exactly on the equator who is traveling at a speed of 1,037 MPH (24901 miles / 24 hours).  Obviously, the person at the equator travels farther in 24 hours than the person at the 40th parallel.  There's a nuance there, I'm sure.  We know what happens when distances are computed at the both parallel, so what happens if distance is measured at the equator.  So let's measure RG's N/S mileage relative to the equator and we find it to be 47,117 miles (bottom of column "Miles to Equator" in the above table).  Not, in itself, meaningful.

Contrivance.  On pages 400 and 401 found in the inscrutable chapter,  Mr. Gann gives us the numbers 100 and 60 which produce a ratio of 1.666.  Nice number in its own right.  But just for fun, use 1.666 to reduce the Equatorial distance of 47,117 to 28,271 miles….no reason, just trying to find a use for those extraneous numbers Mr. Gann gives us.  Now we have E/W mileage of 18,213 and N/S mileage of 28,271.  Since E/W and N/S are perpendicular relations, we have two sides of a right triangle and the  Pythagorean hypotenuse is 33,630.  Recall the very first figure in RG's 7 days was his 'crow flies' miles of 33,543.   Mr. Gann contrived RG's 7 days to provide a Euclidian (3 dimension) and Pythagorean right triangle.

Mr. Gann spent a LOT of time picking the cities he picked for RG's travels to create an isosceles triangle AND a right triangle that culminated at the end of RG's trip.  I cannot imagine running the numbers to do this without an Internet web site or a calculator with advanced functions to calculate the Haversine formula.  That's what he faced in writing TTTTA.  There must be an important lesson in RG's 7 days as promised by the Foreword.

You are now up to speed on what I had discovered many weeks/months/days ago.  But then I discovered something more about two days ago and realized this morning that it infers the cubic structure I've been looking for.  The isosceles and right triangles are in planar geometry….X, Y and Z.  But, if we dig deeper, the sheer numbers may infer more than planar geometry.  Perhaps X, Y, Z and T?

We are dealing with a sphere and time according to the rotation of that sphere.  And we are dealing with two triangles in planar geometry…angles as opposed to curves.  Of course, spherical trig distances by the Great Circle method are determined by bisecting the globe with a plane.  But that's still the sphere and the plane.  I'm looking  for the sphere and cube.  I know the sphere is the earth but where did Mr. Gann bury the cube in RG's 7 days?  I expect he did, somewhere.

Let's do some math on the isosceles triangle.  Make it a perfect isosceles by averaging the 18,213 and 18495 to gives you and average side length of 18,354.  Like any isosceles triangle, when you bisect the angle between the equal sides, that bisector intersects the opposite line at 90 degrees and you have the right triangle…perfectly one half of the isosceles triangle.  On either side of our new right triangle we have 18,354 and 9177 (half of 18,354).  And we use Pythagorus to calculate the hypotenuse at 20,520:

To recap above, the computed hypotenuse of 20,520 divided by the smallest side of 9,127 is 2.23607 which happens to be the the diagonal of a 2X1 rectangle.  If you square 2.23607 you get 5.0000 to as many decimals as you want to expand your Excel spreadsheet.  [If you use the pre averagee numbers of 9106 and 18213, you get 5.0004398.]  This isn't a coincidence, IMO, any more than was the isosceles and right triangles.  It is contrived.

I realized the implication of the 2.236 this morning, April 30.  I am not sure where this is going because a rectangle is twice the cube I was expecting to find.  Relative to a sphere that has a circumference of 18,213 or even the circumference at the Earth's center of 24901, this rectangle would seem to be far larger.

On the other hand, RG's Great Conceptual Triangle infers an angular geometric solid.  Four equal sized rectangles stacked contiguously and aligned, after all, gives you the 4X4 cube and far bigger than a sphere with an 18,354 diameter.  Still, its an intriguing thread.  There's an answer, and when I find it, I'll call it Robert Gordon's "Earth Cube."

With, then, the East/West sphere of the earth calculating time and the square of the North/South cube inferring space (matter, price, etc.), perhaps we have the four dimensional calculator we need to determine time and price.  

Hmmm, and does not all this involve the square, the circle and the triangle, the logo of Lambert-Gann?  The sphere and the cube?  Where's the Einstein Essay Contest Editor when you need him?  But that's another essay thread.

The Greatest Visual Triangle in TTTTA or Finding Pythagoras and Fibonacci, again

WD Gann proves the meaning of the words he writes in "The Tunnel Thru the Air" with math and geometry (see HERE for a simple example of 'proof by math') often created by acrostic and telestic encoded words.  Ambiguous words, subjective language; inadequate to convey clear meaning.  The two most meaningful such proofs, to me, are the Visual Triangle of which this post is concerned and the Conceptual Triangle of Robert Gordon's 7 days described in many other posts of that wording.

Here is what I characterize as the Greatest Visual Triangle (GVT) found on pages 68 through 71 of TTTTA:

Now the background.  That triangle begins on page 68 with point A and having a center point on line 2693 of the book:

The acrostic word "Tao" defines point A in the GVT and is defined by the first letter of the lines 2692, 2693 and 2694, line 2693, the center point for measurement purposes.  "Tao" had long intrigued me until I used an alternate meaning, 'path,' and connected it with two other words found on pages 69 and 71.

On page 71 and having a center point on line 2853 of the book I found the word "WAR" in all caps:

I will call that point C of the GVT.

I now have Point A, "Path" and Point C, "WAR" and I just knew there had to be an acrostic or telestic word in between…somewhere….that spelled "to."  So, on a hunch, I took the difference in center points.  There are 160 lines between the center points of A and C so I'd have to find "to" on about line (2693 + 160 X .5=) 2753….and, yes, that is what I found:

I will say the black line that bisects the acrostic word "to" defines points B on the right and D on the left.  So now we have points A, B and C of a perfect isosceles triangle (the red triangle) and the comprising right triangles of ADB and CDB formed by the black line DB.  Take a moment to reflect on the first illustration of the complete triangle above.

Now let's do some Pythagorean math, especially considering a subtext of this post is Pythagoras of Samos.  Count the letters on the two lines comprising the acrostic word "to," specifically, lines 2772 and 2773.  Including spaces between words, two spaces between sentences and one space for the period on line 2773 both of those lines count 60:

You may begin to see where I am going.  There are 160 vertical spaces to the isosceles triangle between points A and C so there are 80 vertical spaces between A and D.  The comprising right triangles have, therefore, legs of 60 and 80.  For a person that understands the Pythagoras' 3-4-5 triangle, you have 60, 80, 100….proportions of the triangle comprised of the Pythagorean arithmetic progression:

Obviously, Mr. Gann designed a PERFECT Pythagorean 3-4-5 triangle (aka 'arithmetic progression triangle') spanning pages 68 to 71.  You can't 'see' it unless you do the math.

I feel sure there is a Kepler or geometric progression right triangle in TTTTA as well but have not pursued it as yet.  Hmmm, a Kepler triangle would have sides of 1, sqrt(Phi) and Phi.  Phi, Fibonacci aka Leonardo de Pisa...de Pisa.

We now know the sides of the isosceles triangle because we solved the component right triangles.  The isosceles triangle is AC=160, AB=100 and BC=100.  No, it's not a Kepler right triangle, but Mr. de Pisa is in the midst of it.  After all, 160 is one of the earliest iterations of Phi in the Fibonacci sequence; it is 8 divided by 5.  And two sides of 100.  In math it spells "Fibonacci" to me.  But maybe I'm stretching it.  Or might I find Mr. de Pisa in an acrostic or telestic word?  Yes I did…you'll find Mr. de Pisa highlighted in blue in the insert above "WAR" ….if you'd been attentive:

There is so much in these four pages; there's the Jonas triangle (see HERE) defined by the four instances of the word, Jonas, the math of 3 days and 3 nights (3+3 and 3*3), the sixth prophecy of the 911 tragedy dependent on 69 of that page 69….  Too much to cover in this, already too long, post.

It is entirely fitting that Mr. Gann crowned those meaningful pages with one of the two most important triangles, in my estimation, to be found in TTTTA.  It might be further meaningful for one to dwell on the plain wording of those four pages given the effort and, one would think, the commensurate emphasis that Mr. Gann placed on those pages.

Can there be any doubt of the encoding of this triangle, of the intent of the author?

WD Gann's 7th manifest prophecy, part 3 of 3

Its been two weeks since posting part 2 of 3.  There was yet one test I hadn't applied that I felt was necessary to put this final post in perspective that I'll explain last thing below.

WD Gann encoded, by my method of counting, 7 manifest prophecies in "The Tunnel Thru the Air."  I have detailed 2 of those prophecies ("The Great Battles of Detroit," the sixth manifest prophecy of the WTC tragedy, and this, the seventh prophecy of which this is part 3 of 3).

In part 1 of this series I've shown, in chronologic sequence, my finding my last name in a telestic word and my first name in an acrostic word:

In part 2 of the series I found a word that personalized the developing message; I found my street address of 20 years in an artfully constructed word; Tottenham Lane.  Because Tottenham is a long word, it was developed in three syllables as tot-10-ham (pages 350 and 351):

I found the "tot" and "ham" very quickly after I envisioned that it would be a key to proving to ME that the two words of my name were intended.  But I couldn't find the "ten".  Then, I woke up the morning of the 28th of January to realize how the "ten" would be spelled.  It would be number "10" instead of a word "ten."  And there is was, in the narrative.  A ten of the larger number 10,000.

So that is where I left you two weeks ago.  There's supplemental evidence that was even more stunning and personal to me.

My professional designation; I passed the CPA exam in North Carolina in 1978 and held that designation since.  Now look at the last insert; can you find "CPA?"  I'll make it easy and highlight the "cpa" in red.

Not only was the word "cpa" spelled, but next to it the last name of John Dee (in green), an apparently major component of understanding WD Gann's theory of numbers (see discussion of John Dee's philosopher stone number, 252, HERE).  I have discussed John Dee multiple times as his name is the most encoded of any in TTTTA that I have found and is, itself, confirmed by his alias in communications with Queen Elizabeth I as "007."  Thirdly, there is a telestic word "eee" which is a marker found in the first paragraph of the Foreword (see a discussion of the 6 e's HERE) and, in total, a notable 83 times in TTTTA.

Still don't believe?  Recall I've alluded to Mr. Gann's Rosicrucian orientation and its encoding in TTTTA.  Just as the Rosy Cross was found in Shakespeare's works on page 37 of one Shakespeare's plays by Peter Amundsen indicating Lord Francis Bacon's involvement, so we find the Rosy Cross also in TTTTA but on page 53 (see my discussion HERE).  [The numbers 37 and 53 are revered by Rosicrucian's and Masons as they are two of the three angles of the Pythagorean 3-4-5 right triangle.]  The Rosicrucian "manifest" was "Fama Fraterntatis" and we find "fama" spelled directly above "tot" and"cpa":

The "coincidences" keep mounting up.  The most stunning components of evidence yet remain.  The word "tot-10-ham" is a bit spread out over 2 pages.  What would bring it together in a mathematically irrefutable proof of itself?  If it is a notable triangle….say, a right triangle or an isosceles triangle.  And perhaps not just visibly, but mathematically. 

But before I look at the actual triangle that is formed in TTTTA, let's look at what I "saw" and as I experienced it, mathematically wrongfully, on January 28, 2015:

It sure looked like a right triangle to me.  Again, I was stunned.  But it was a wrong reflection.  A correct reflection would be that imposed on the actual manuscript of TTTTA.

The following work can only be replicated with a faithful copy of the first edition, first printing TTTTA which can be found at archive.org HERE.  I have used an Excel reflection of that book above to find and reproduce the words acrostic and telestic words…not as a faithful reproduction of the true printer's edition.  In evaluating the supposed triangle, its best viewed against the actual pages of the first printing itself.  Pages 350 and 351 are aligned as if they were a single page and the triangle is superimposed over them.  The black triangle IS a faithful reproduction of the visual black triangle formed by the extreme letters/digits of "tot-to-ham."  Doesn't appear to be a notable triangle does it?

The black triangle does not LOOK like a notable form; a right triangle or an isosceles triangle.  Looks are deceiving, just as the subjective language, as Gurdjiffe would put it, is deceiving.  If you consider the printer's dimension, a line space takes more than twice the space of a horizontal character.  Consider, there are an average of 36 lines per page in TTTTA, but there are, variably, 45 to 60 characters per line.  The space is not "squared" is it?

Math is the proof.  Do the math.  Bisect the triangle with the red vector DB and count the lines and the characters that form the components of the two right triangles.  Let Pythagoras guide you and you'll ultimately find triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle to the second place of the decimal.  The math is above for you to prove.

One last clerical matter.  This 3rd post of the 7th prophecy series took two weeks to complete, not because of the above information, but because I needed to answer for myself one last question.  I manually looked through every letter of the 15,304 acrostic and 15,304 telestic letters of TTTTA for any proper nouns (names) greater than 3 letters.  Since, "Jimi" and "ross" are, each, four letters, maybe it was just random as there may be found hundreds of 4 letter proper nouns (names).  Such is not the case.  It took me days and days of looking at those 30,608 letters, imagining proper names that might be constructed.  I found only 19 such names, 21 when including "Jimi" and "ross" (see them HERE).  I'm probably wrong.  I'm sure I'm wrong.  Someone, some person without a life, might find 25 or 29, but there are very very few.  You'll have to be inventive to find 30.  There are very few.

* * * * *

All heretofore cited coincidence is something you can replicate.  Every acrostic, every telestic is there.  There are far too many coincidences to explain away.  Probably, I've missed some things and there are some things I've found but not produced that are beating a dead horse with more evidence.  I believe the above is a preponderance of evidence.

But there is one final piece of evidence to which only I can attest.  You can't replicate it.  You can only take my word in faith for it.

As I noted in part 2 and above, I was sitting in a second viewing of "The Imitation Game" on exactly January 27, 2015 when I realized Mr. Gann would encode a very personal bit of information in TTTTA to confirm to me that he was speaking to me.  He would encode my street address, Tottenham.  And that day, I found "tot" and "ham" but couldn't find "ten."  The next morning, I woke up "knowing" where I'd find the "ten;" it was a "10" as previously shown.

And it was there.  I found it on January 28, 2015.  And, if you will go back to the very first insert above, and focus on the first letter in the word "Jimi."  And it is the capital letter "J."  Now look directly left of that letter and you will see on that line the date "January 28, 1927."  Exactly 88 years ago, a meaningful number for anyone familiar with number theory.  And then you look directly above the January 28, 1927 and you find "Future Cycles."

Such was the final proof that caused me to believe, unshakably, that whatever is occurring now, in these, no doubt, poorly worded, imperfectly constructed posts, was foreseen decades ago by WD Gann.

I feel that I have presented two most notable prophecies of Mr. Gann among another five with which many people are already acknowledged (his prophecies of inventions, the Great Depression, WWII, the Vietnam War and The Great Battles of Detroit).  I feel that I have lived up to the burden placed on me that I should develop and make this information available, imperfect and incomplete as it may be.

But is that all there is?  If Mr. Gann indicated this information is needed by this generation, the generation of the 266th Pope, what is the information that is needed going forward?  We know the 6th prophecy of the WTC tragedy is behind us, we (or at least I know) he predicted I'd find this information.  So what?  "What difference, at this point, does that make now," to quote an unfortunate contemporary testimony?

If Mr. Gann encoded all this prophetic information to be revealed on a post fact basis, did he not provide a future prophecy yet to manifest from this point forward?  Yes, I believe he did.  It is, at least, "The Harbinger" thesis offered by Jonathan Cahn.  Except that, Mr. Gann encoded it 88 years ago.  And in the last series of posts, I'll outline, as best I can, where that prophecy is located.  I do not know if I can find specific events yet to occur.  I actually doubt that I can at this point.  But I can find Mr. Gann's reinforcement Rabbi Cahn's prognosis of the lifting of His Grace from this nation formed in the name of God.  I will attempt to develop this theme and evidence which I have noted and additional evidence as I might find in the final series regarding the prophecies of WD Gann.

Note added 2/8/2015.  Having subsequently found reason to predict a great earthquake in 2016, most likely between February 21-24, 2016, most likely in San Francisco, most likely in a X level of intensity, I find it troubling that adjacent my name (the 7th prophecy) is the acronym "ENS."

The US Geological Earthquake Notification Service monitors and warns of seismic events on a real time basis.  An inquiring mind might wish to find and consider the instances of "ENS" that are, apparently, purposefully encoded into TTTTA.

Confirming intent of acrostic and telestic words in TTTTA

Random or contrived by Mr. Gann in "The Tunnel Thru the Air?"  Two examples concerning the instances of "Yahwa" (Yahweh) or "God" in TTTTA.

Did Mr. Gann intend for the four instances of the Lord to occur or was it random?  Perhaps some aspect of the positioning of those words would confirm their purposeful, as opposed to random, inclusion.  Many permutations of the numbers, that don't work out and I won't repeat them  L

Let's keep it simple and look at the line number of each chapter.  The center point of the word, the letter "o," on page 376 has cumulative number 13797 (from the beginning of the book) and chapter line number 52.  Look now at where the similar "o" appears on pages 110 and 331; 257 and 205, respectively.  And 257 minus 205 equals 52.

Unfortunately, "YAHwa" will not work out quite as cleanly and will need some "rationalization."  Take the three chapter line numbers associated with "God" already referenced, 52, 205 and 257 and add them to get 514.  "YAHwa" exists between chapter lines 520 and 525 of Chapter XVI.  We are off by 9 from the line number I would have judged is the center of "YAHwa," that being the "H" on line 523.

See that "net" to the right of "YAHwa?"  And reading upwards it spells "ten."  We are off by 1 line and that I can ascribe to a 1-line error in my Excel counting of Chapter XVI or Mr. Gann's counting under the dim light of his green shaded desk lamp.  Suffice it, I am satisfied of the intent.

Step back and consider the imagery.  "YAHwa" the one, the Monad.  Then "God" in three, the holy trinity.  Worthy of pondering is what one might think Mr. Gann might want us to consider?

Another thought but taken away from my reading of Frank C. Higgins' (a Mason and, I understand, an acquaintance and neighbor perhaps of WD Gann) "The Cross of the Magi" is that the ancients' reflections of God should be the equal in perfection of God.  Their magic squares, their symbols all had to convey that perfection.

And yet another thought from both reading of Gann and Gurdjieffe; that language is ambiguous where only math can convey objective meaning.  Objective language as opposed to subjective language according to Gurdjieffe.  And math being the only thing upon which nations and men can agree according to Mr. Gann.  

I think the above examples prove Mr. Gann's unambiguous intent to those four words purposeful inclusion in the acrostically/telestically encoded TTTTA.  Perhaps, its simply a proof my the method of numbering lines in the book and, if so, I believe my numbering is proven.  But I'm sure there is greater meaning I have not, as yet, discovered.

Taking inventory of what I don't know

Needless to say, it dwarfs what I do know.  It would seem prideful even to suggest the question, but I think it a good exercise for anyone to routinely ask simply to restore some acceptable level of humility.

The 'specific exercise' I'd intuitively set upon was self prompted but became an issue when a particularly 'noxious commenter' unconsciously reissued the challenge.  The 'specific exercise' was to look at every letter of the acrostics and telestics of "The Tunnel Thru the Air" and determine whether the letters, already sequentially ordered in the book, spell a proper noun…a person's name…that was equal to or exceeds four letters.  My intent was to find out if there were person's names of any frequency that are the length of or greater than the length of my name 'Jimi ross' that appears in TTTTA.  I wanted to know that before I capstoned the '7th prophecy' series wherein I found my name in TTTTA.  I wanted to know that first, for myself, because I wanted this simple test to let me know, yes or no, whether this simple test of improbability was favorable or unfavorable to the '7th prophecy.'

The 'noxious commenter' had alleged a person could create any words he wanted to create out of an infinite population of letters.  Duh.  There are 15304 lines in TTTTA and, hence, there are 15304 acrostic letters (first letter of a line) and 15304 telestic last letters in the entire book.  A total of 30608 letters in total.  And those letters are not re arrangeable.  They are in a sequential and fixed order.  It is a good idea, here, to give an example.

Here is one page of TTTTA as an example.  I picked it for several purposes.  The page I chose is not random, but has a purpose.  HERE is the  first edition, first printing copy of page 209 of TTTTA as it appears on archive.org.  Translated into the Excel worksheet I have created, and which has an acrostic and telestic word finder, are those same words with the same words, line spacing and line breaks.

Compare the two versions for yourself because the implications are otherwise difficult to deny.  You will have to live with the implications such as you may find.

Look vertically top to bottom at column (f), the telestic letters, do you see any words?  Why yes, I see "hen" and "net:"

That wasn't so tough.  But you might have puzzled over the four contiguous/consecutive letters, 's':

How odd.  What is the probability?  If this occurs a lot in TTTTA which is exactly 15304 lines long, might they represent time markers in a map of a cycle…a line for a day, perhaps?  Ahh, context for a future essay.  

Back to the recognizable words on page 209.  Now let's look at the acrostic column, (e).  How about imagining the word "TOA," doesn't that sound familiar?

Google search "TOA" and we find in Wikipedia a good 20 or so possibilities….goodness, TOA, a mnemonic in trigonometry.  Didn't Mr. Gann say something about geometry, math, science?  Wasn't Robert Gordon's 7 days all about a Pythagorean theorem application, DesCartean coordinate trip around the world?  Might Mr. Gann be referencing "SOH-CAH-TOA."  Of course, if you failed high school trig you'd fail to recognize "tangent = opposite / adjacent" or "TOA."  But, maybe this is just a random word.  Since I have looked at every line in TTTTA and I know how many times and where "TOA" appears, I can say it is not random.  I know that because I have done the work.  You don't know so you can say EITHER "I don't know" or "I'll test your knowledge."  You are NOT entitled to say "You are wrong" or "I doubt it."  Both are forms of the same untruth.  Think about it.

Thinking done, two more acrostic words and three consecutive letter i's:

'TAE,' a Scottish word for 'to' or 'too'….and 'was,' well, you know that one and 'I-I-I' perhaps another cycle marker in the supposed map.

This is what I go through with every one of the 432 pages of TTTTA and 'I know' what is there to the extent of my human capability.  But I do miss words, I don't know all the Latin, Tai, Scottish…. words Mr. Gann may or may have not thrown at me, and it is simply hard to concentrate on every page, 100%.  Human error.

Speaking of error, perhaps the first several times I've looked at the 432 this way, I missed a very important word.  Its easier to pick out the 3 and 4-letter words.  You get patterned in that thought process.  Might you miss this 5-letter word:

'YAHwa' - Yahweh…. Let that sink in for a moment.  In the first several acrostic telestic reading, I missed Mr. Gann's spelling of God.  He does it only once in TTTTA and I know that because I immediately went to my acrostic/telestic word finder and confirmed it.  Only once.  'God' is spelled exactly 3 times found HERE.  'Jehovah' is not spelled as a whole acrostic/telestic word, but 'I know' Mr. Gann will have constructed it somewhere, somehow in TTTTA.  'I know' because I have faith that I understand the intent and contrivances of this man…this great man.  It's only a matter of time as to when and who will find 'Jehovah.'

Having found the word 'YAHwa' on page 209, I re-read that page' full narrative with reflection.  Mr. Gann wanted me to see stuff there would be my suspicion.

So, this lengthy post has me dealing with a noxious commenter who claimed that I can, quite dishonestly, construct words out of an infinity of letters.  Well, this one page has exactly 40 lines on it and exactly 40 acrostic and 40 telestic "opportunities" on it.  Not an infinity.  And there are 432 pages with various numbers of lines on them all adding up to 15304 lines; 15304 acrostic opportunities and 15304 telestic opportunities.  Not an infinity.  And the letters are ordered.  I can't reorder them…they are Mr. Gann's ordering which he created with "forethought," purposeful contrivance and planning.  I "know" this because I have done the work and continue doing so.  You can't say otherwise because you have not done the work.

But there is more to deal with in this post than a refutation of a claim.  It's new knowledge for the noxious one and new knowledge and, dare I say, wisdom learned of the "getteth" for myself.  In bullet form to make it more rememberable:

• A person who contradicts you wrongfully may be doing so out of ignorance or dishonesty.  If he leaves you with, "this is why" then it is ignorance and up to you to help him.  It's a duty of response.  If he leaves you with simply "I doubt it" or "you are wrong" or "you are dishonestly using an infinite population" they are lying.  They may not know they are lying so it remains necessary to correct them for your integrity and to eliminate their dishonesty from infecting others.  

• Correction need not be couched in "…cast not pearls before swine…" but, as a good friend reminds me, a gentler version of that same analogy found in Hebrews 5:12-14 that we feed milk for those unable for meat and meat for those capable of meat.  I am guilty and I will change.

• Always give a response to others of "I don't know" if I haven't studied it, or "I doubt it because…." or "I wish I could study it now but…."  A response of "I doubt it but don't have time to study and I might change my mind later" is as wrong as the dispositive statement "You are wrong" without giving the rationale to help the respondent understand.

• And, at some point, a person is so bigoted that you cannot communicate with them on an intellectual level.  That's when you simply walk away.

So in re-reading page 209, I find it incredibly, if not a near epiphany, that I find these first words:

I did not plan that I would find those words.  I did plan that 'YAHwa' be revealed.  But I cannot prove to you what I intended.  Its up to you to judge the truth.

I haven't taking an inventory as promised.  I do know what I don't know is infinite…but I do know what I do know now is greater than when I began this essay.  I guess, in that, I'm less worse off than before.  "Inch by inch, step by step…"
