A matter of interpretation?

For many months I'd anticipated the later weeks of February, then the days February 21-25, then the two days, February 23 and 24.  And I was wrong.  But that's distinct from WD Gann being wrong.

In considering where I made an error, I cannot dismiss the studies of the acrostic/telestic acronyms and the studies I made of them; "ens," "red," and "two" (highlighted in red in the below insert).  And then their triangulation via the "tao device" on the days February 23 and 24.  I can't dismiss the author of the movie "Knowing" being encoded in TTTTA nor the characters and locations of the movie "San Andreas" being encoded in TTTTA.  There must be a purpose WD Gann identified these things and encoded them into "The Tunnel Thru the Air."  Its simply not random.

I'll offer two additional suggested meanings of the 'conflagration' of the above 3 encoded words that occurred between lines 55 and 60 (1) of TTTTA:

Did anything happen on February 23 and 24?  Yes, the largest California earthquake of the year in Wasco CA on February 23 at 4pm.  It was originally reported as a 4.9 by the USGS but was later downgraded to a 4.8.  At 4.9 it was the co-largest in California of the year-to-date, but negligible, if noticed at all, in San Francisco and Los Angeles.  But was it "day one" of six?  The next to the last paragraph of TTTTA:

Did February 23 mark day 1 of a 7-day period in which the 5th day is today?

Alternately, we have found the acrostic encoded word "Taito," the last letter of which appears on line 60, the same day on which we find February 23, 2016.  "Taito" is highlighted in purple in the first insert above.  If you count upward from the final letter, "o," in Taito you arrive at line 55 which is related to the dates, March 4 and March 5, on the far right side of the spreadsheet.

Taito, as it has been suggested, refers to a province in Tokyo which was the site of the most destructive earthquake in history, the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake.

It might be noticed that the "o" of Taito, appearing on cumulative line 60 and chapter line 22 sums to 82 which is the page of TTTTA that refers to the 266th Pope.  It is where I first questioned whether Mr. Gann was speaking to our generation when, apparently, he, chronologically incorrectly, referred to the election of the 266th Pope in connection with St Malachy's prophecies and "remarkable events."  Now years after I first noticed this seeming purposeful error, I keep coming back to it.

And you might notice that the first letter of "Taito" on cumulative line 55 and chapter line 17 adds to 72 or the pentagonal element of the circle.

Might I have identified the first day of a 6-part period (6 day or 6 2-day periods)?

Obviously, time proves all things.  I haven't lost faith in the things I've seen in connection with this project and will continue to study.

(1)  I have added 2 days to the MOT as a result of an error that I identified.  An updated MOT will be posted shortly.

The first of many errors

The number 15,340 lines is of paramount importance as it represents the days between the beginning of the 168-day MOT period on the day after the summer solstice in 1848 and the end of the period on the summer solstice of 2016 (168 years later).  And, as we recall, the 168-year period is 1/15th of the Biblical Great week.

My rendition of the MOT is off 1 and, maybe, 2 days (because the exact number of days in 168-year periods will vary by 1 day as a remainder related to the inexact solar period of 365.242 days).  Take the ending date of June 19, 2016 minus the beginning date of Jun 22, 1848 and you get 15,359 days.  First, the MOT you see the June 22, 1848 at the top left and June 19, 2016 at the top right:

Now the calculation of days:

If you know the mathematic mechanics of the MOT, you'll understand the implication.

I regret the error which, I expect I will find having been made in the pre 1900 period that Excel does not automatically compute and having made it necessary for me to compute manually.

Jim Ross

Mea Culpa

I was wrong and regret the concern that I have caused many people.  I continue to have faith in the many remarkable proofs that I've seen and will continue to study.

Three encoded warning messages, their mathematic proof and their implications for February 2016

This 266th essay can't wait for a February 25 mea culpa I still hope to write.

Three acrostic/telestic words repeated in WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air" that I'd often pondered; "ENS," "Red" and "TWS."  ENS for "Earthquake Notification Service," Red for "Red Cross" and TWS for "Tsunami Warning System."  We all know Red Cross.  ENS is a service associated with the U.S. Geological Service.  And TWS represents the several initiatives to provide early warnings for tsunamis;  perform a search on TWS and Wikipedia for the several such services.

WD Gann used those acrostic and telestic words in "The Tunnel Thru the Air" to persuasively triangulate the 23rd and 24th of February 2016 and predict a great earthquake and tsunami.  But before we look at that triangulation, we need to establish the credibility of the words.

A word or two before the proof of credibility.  There are perhaps 1.3M earthquakes per year.  Thankfully, the vast majority are either very small or are so remote as to be inconsequential or not even noticed.  Mr. Gann give us 20 instances of the word "ENS" with which there are 20 notable....not small...earthquakes.  Another 20 instances of the word "Red" to denote 20 earthquakes.  What is the probability of exactly 20 instances of both Red and ENS?  Designed that way would be my conclusion.  And then 17 instances of the word "TWS" to denote tsunamis.  In total, 57 observations.

Now the method to establish the proof.  Every time I found an instance of one of those three encoded words in TTTTA, I took note of the year in the right most column of the WD Gann Map of Time.  Then I searched the Internet for that year and either "earthquake" or "tsunami" to see if there was, indeed, a credible event in that year.  The results are below.  For example, the first instance of "TWS" I found was on line 1674 of the MOT and associated with that line is the year 2007 in the far right.  Here's that citation of "TWS:"

So, I search the Internet for "tsunami" and "2007" and I find the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami occurred on September 12, 2007.

Of course, you will realize Mr. Gann published TTTTA in 1927.  There were some years since then when there simply wasn't a notable event.  But I found an event for all 57 observations.  The tsunamis were problematic as tsunamis seem less rigorously followed than earthquakes; but I found all 17.  He didn't provide an "ENS," "Red," or a "TWS" for which a significant event did not occur.  57 out of 57.

ENS.  There are exactly 20 instances of "ENS" spelled as a telestic word (none are acrostic) found in TTTTA.  All of those instances have associated with them a notable event:

Red.  There are exactly 20 instances of "Red" spelled as a telestic word (none are acrostic) found in TTTTA.  Again, all instances are associated with a notable event:

Ponder the narrative that appears in connection with that last observation on line 13383 above.  I'll provide the exact narrative for context:

"....it is God's plan to teach man a lesson..."  It's the thesis of Jonathan Cahn's "The Harbinger" and the prophecy of Isaiah 9:10; judgement and divine anger.  Not until man has learned its lesson will the tribulation end.  In addition to the February 2016 event that is anticipated, there are three later dates of great concern.  But that's a digression.  Back to February 2016 and the last of the three warning messages; "TWS."

TWS.  17 instances of the less frequent tsunami events:

Download the "Map of Time."  All the line numbers are above.  A "finder" macro in that spreadsheet lets you check the completeness of the 57 observations.  Test me.

*******

Mr. Gann gives us 20 instances of both "ENS" and "Red" to show there was intent.  Mathematic equivalence beyond coincidence.  An interesting exercise would be to combine those 40 observations with the events found in the movie "Knowing" (see the essay HERE) that Mr. Gann apparently anticipated and encoded in TTTTA and then compare that combined list to the Wikipedia list of the greatest earthquakes of the last 100 years (at least, back to 1932).  I expect you'll find a very high correspondence.

But counting earthquakes and tsunamis is not the point of this exercise.  All the work above establishes the validity of the three words; "ENS," "Red" and "TWS."  So, we accept he could foresee the future by whatever means.  For what purpose?

To warn us of the February 2016 event of which I have been speculating for several months.  I have not had evidence of Mr. Gann's clear intention and specific date of the earthquake and tsunami until I performed the above work.  Until now.

The dates I have been watching for an earthquake are February 21-24, 2016.  I can now narrow that to February 23 or 24 based on the above work and the below analysis.  Using our knowledge of the three words, look at the relevant Map of Time lines:

The critical dates, February 23 and 24, are highlighted in yellow and were first considered because on the left side of the MOT we find the mirrored date of the Marlboro, NZ earthquake on 10/17/1848.  We expect a similar event occurring on the left side of the MOT to occur on the right side.

February 23 and 24 are confirmed by all the work that has been done in this essay.  "TWS" is highlighted in green above suggesting the event will spawn a tsunami.   "Red" is highlighted in red suggesting an earthquake.  And "ENS" is highlight in blue suggesting, again, an earthquake.  All three appearing near and surrounding the highlighted and long considered dates of February 23 and 24.

But, while the letters are in close proximity, they are either inverted from the top down order as with "Red" and "TWS" or scrambled as in "ENS."  When you think about it, could Mr. Gann have proven the integrity of the three words if he provided those arrangements of letters associated with an event that has not occurred?  I'd be suspicious.  The proof and the prediction cannot be commingled; they need to have a different arrangement.

Now, the above lines span from line 52 to 69.  How do we confine the prediction to exactly line 59?  The last letter of the word "ENS" appears on line 52 and there are 7 lines from 52 to 59 (59-52=7).  The last letter of the word "Red" or "d" appears on line 66 and there are 7 lines from 59 to 66 (66-59=7).  Its the "Tao device," a favored mathematic tool of Mr. Gann to prove his intent.

All the attention goes to line 59 and the associated dates;  February 23 and 24, 2016.  I conclude Mr. Gann is warning us that an earthquake attended by a tsunami will occur on one or both (pre shocks/aftershocks) of those days.

And it will not be just another event.  In the flesh color you see the word "Ten," an acrostic that I find meaningfully placed in other areas of TTTTA but I have not explained for lack of time and space.   The intensity scale denoted in Roman numbers has X as the next to the largest of any earthquake studied in this exercise spanning 84 years of earthquakes.  If we are measuring according the moment of magnitude measurement, the largest United States earthquake in history would be the Great Lituya Bay earthquake and "megatsunami of 1958."  The related earthquake measured at 7.8 M with an intensity of XI.  The "megatsunami" was 1700 feet high based upon destruction of vegetation on affected shoreline cliffs.

The Lituya Bay event occurred in a sparsely populated area of Alaska.  By comparison, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake was exactly the same intensity; 7.8 M with intensity of XI.  In 1906, San Francisco was far more densely populated than Lituya Bay in 1958.  Well, what do those dynamics look like today?

All of the above does not consider the breadth of the event that might occur.  When we're talking about the 1906 San Francisco earthquake we're limited to the San Andreas fault complex; southern California.  The far bigger elephant in the room is the Cascadia subduction that stretches from about Cape Mendocino up the coast well into Canada and including both Washington and Oregon.  That's the really big picture.  On January 26, 1700, the last occurrence of a Cascadia subduction event, vast portions of the then existing coast dropped by 5 to 8 feet depending on the experts you read.  Where the San Andreas fault has a potential to create an 8.2 M earthquake, the Cascadia subduction's potential is greater and extends further.  Using a "straight line" method of elementary accounting and estimation, the event should occur every 233 or so years.  Such an event, by naive statistics, is now 83 years overdue.

And Mr. Gann saw this, in my opinion.  Already developed is his symbolic "Ring In Fire" that has been previously identified.  That essay gives us the following map of the battle lines as found in the narrative of TTTTA and developed in the link above:

Just follow the western most vectors from Brownsville Texas, to San Diego, to Portland and Seattle.  That's what Mr. Gann may have given us on page 279 encoded as "battle lines."

How big?  Consider a previously cited July 20, 2015 New Yorker article:

Very big.

Consider the spirit of Marie Stanton's letter to Robert Gordon, "AHYM" perhaps?

And if you've tested and believe the miracles that Mr. Gann provided and as developed, painfully, imperfectly, in these many essays, be forewarned.  And once forearmed consider your further responsibility explained on page 83:

That's WD Gann speaking, not me.

Jim Ross

Note added 2/15/2016.  Perhaps the message, "WD Gann predicts the use of WMD in the form of 3 tsunamis on California?"  The color coded acrostic/telestic messages should be self explanatory:

Tsunami's only occur with the greatest of earthquakes and three would indicate immense destruction.

Note added 2/19/2016.  In 1905 a merger of utilities produced the then renamed Pacific Gas and Electric (ticker "PCG"), the provider of such services to San Francisco as far south as Los Angeles and northern areas of CA.  PGE survived the Great 1906 Earthquake because of its then strong financial position   PGE is presently financially weak having only recently been upgraded to "stable" by S&P with a debt/equity that is very high, even for a utility.  PGE is located at 77 Beale Street, SF, in a 34 story building built in 1971 not using the later developed standards of flexible concrete construction; its base being about 10 feet above sea level and only blocks from the Golden Gate Bridge.  A major earthquake and/or tsunami would be disastrous for that building.

We find in TTTTA "PGE" in many places but, as 3 letter words go, not entirely conclusively.  However, we do find the telestic word "77" on page 97:

And the telestic word "Beale" at the end of page 76:

I believe the narrative is self evident regarding what Mr. Gann believes will happen to PGE.

That's the subjective element of the prediction.  The mathematic element of this prediction is created by using the "Tao device" to find midpoint meaning.  Take the word "San" spelled in zig zag on cumulative line 79 and chapter I line 41 (79+41=120) and add to it the last line of the zig zag word "Andreas" or line 6182 and you find the midpoint is line 3051.5.  That's the beginning the paragraph highlighted in red above.

Prove the subjective conclusions and the objective math to yourself.  The WD Gann Map of Time is available for download for free, no signup, no click fees....free...at Map of Time.

I find other such publicly traded targets, but have not discovered similar detail as PGE.

If you recall one of the earliest essays considering calamity of San Francisco, you may recall the "Golden Dome" of San Francisco reminiscent of the Dome on the Rock having been damaged by an earthquake exactly 1000 years ago from 2016.   

And I find the 1906 picture of the City Hall Dome of San Francisco on PGE's website.

Hoover Dam, Los Angeles or City of Angels, San Francisco named for St Francis (as like Pope Francis); an interesting geographical configuration reminiscent of a Pythagorean triangle.  All encoded in TTTTA and all within the "Ring IN Fire."

Note added 2/20/2016.  Above I ask "how big" and I believe an answer was provided.  According my amateur perusal of geological science (that proudly maintains earthquakes cannot be predicted), the largest earthquake that San Andreas might produce would measure 8.2M (moment of magnitude).  In researching the letters "SFB" (San Francisco Bay) and using the "finder #3" function of the MOT (found HERE) I found 3 very curious results (out of several non meaningful results).  The format and content of those 3 results suggest to me that the magnitude of the greatest event will be 8.33M (add below 9+7+9 and divide by 3):

The first of the three results carries with it a narrative that is disturbingly suggestive (highlighted in yellow).

Note added 2/21/2016.  I have a calculation based on the "Tao device" that suggests the greatest event will occur on February 24 at 1:30am.  This is a guess extrapolated from two suggestive points in time not given in TTTTA and not, other than the Tao device, associated with Mr. Gann.

Note added 2/23/2016 at 4:16pm EST.  The above note should be understood to mean 1:46AM EST on 2/24/2016 or 10:46 PST on 2/23/2016.  Two calculations:

Note added 2/24/2016 at 6:45am EST.  No events at target times, however, there were 10 Pacific Coast earthquakes exceeding 2.5 per USGS on 2/23/2016, two of which exceeded 4 and one was the largest of the year to date at 4.9.  6 earthquakes on 2/24/2016 as of this time.  Given that my calculations of the time of the event above is proven incorrect, I have one last calculation at 11:26am PST or 2:26am EST.  Not a calculation but a clue would suggest 2:13pm PST.  Again, these are my guesses and not based on WD Gann's encoded messages that specify only 2/23 and 2/24/2016.

How

I'll have to defer the letter to my 'house' because I have discovered, if it all proves out, the most incredible of all findings to date.  I need to mark this date with 1/29/2016 because it was one year and one day ago that I suspected how and then proved that suspicion true regarding how WD Gann would prove that my name was purposefully included in "The Tunnel The the Air."  And I conceived this newest and deepest mystery of the acrostic word, "How," one year later, I've near proven it today.  So, I'll post this note to reserve the date which is notable to me.  For the moment, an old encoded phrase I discovered very early on in this journey and the word "HOw" which has for so long haunted me....until now.

"Number is the if and why."  But "how?"

*******

As mentioned, I identified "How" very early on in considering the encoded words of TTTTA.  I was following up on a mystery which led me to the date 7/2/2008 and that date is adjacent to the "O" in "HOw."  One mystery brought be back to one which was unresolved.  And one that I perceived to be the remainder of perhaps the greatest mystery of number, that been "Nbr-if-why-how."

So what was the mystery I was researching?  We know the inspiration by which I discovered the "Map of Time."  Professor Koestler (Nicolas Cage) discovers a similar "Map" of the world's greatest disasters over a 50 year period which had been buried in a time capsule for those 50 years.  He discovers it when toying with the numbers on that map and discovers 9 consecutive digits subdivide into 9/11/01 2996.  The number of deaths on 9/11/01.

Having already a near perfect text of TTTTA in Excel and having counted the lines many times depending on the vertical spacing conventions and the cumulative and chapter line numbers already assigned, I added dates.  I began the dates at the bottom of the 15 thousand lines and, presuming it was a map that would end near 2016 for it to be valuable, I gave it two days per line.  The starting point at the bottom was July 4, 1932 (the end of the fictional war prior to Robert Gordon's 7 days).  On my first try, I didn't see a match between 9/11/2001 and 2996 and was disappointed, though not surprised.  After some head scratching, I saw it.  Note the date of the essay in which I made the discovery of WD Gann's tribute to the victims of 9/11/2001.

After months of finding errors, a change in the "starting point" date to the summer solstice and still a residual error, the MOT is still very close to the 9/11/01 2996 number:

If you add the 301 ascending chapter line number to the descending line number 2698, you get 2999 or 3 off from the total number of deaths that day.  If you add the 2698 cumulative line number to the descending chapter line number of 280 you get 2978 which is one off of the number of innocent victims of 9/11/01 (2996 total minus 19 terrorists).  Can that be a coincidence?

Its a tad closer than that.  That line has 2 dates on it; 9/11/01 and 9/12/01.  I interpret a date in the leftmost position being 1 less than the line numbers.  Hence, I would interpret 2698+301 minus 1 for 9/11/01 being in the left of the two dates.  Hence, the numbers of deaths (total and innocent) are, according to the MOT, 2998 and 2977, respectively.  Differences of 2 and 0, respectively.

Out of the "9/11/01 2996" finding, the WD Gann "Map of Time" was proven to have some level of integrity.  If you pursue the remainder of this essay you will need to understand the MOT and refer to it to verify my work.  I have made it available free of any charge so that I can be backtested and corrected where a substantial correction is need it.

"9/11/01 2996" is just the beginning.  In the movie "Knowing" there is an early segment that immediately follows Professor Koestler's discovery of "9/11/01 2996" in which he feverishly works out every date and number of deaths on his "Knowing" map.  There are fleeting images of dates, numbers of deaths and pictures of events.  My mission of January 28, 2016 was to isolate every one of those dates and compare them to the MOT in the expectation....well, I just didn't know.  Could Mr. Gann have "seen" those dates and deaths and built them into TTTTA as he, apparently, did with "9/11/01 2996?"

He did:

There were 12 events that had a date and number of deaths, of which, I find 9 actually occurred.  The order in which they occurred are in the left most column and the sheet is sorted in chronological order.  I'll explain three items so you get the hang of it.

3/3/74 Turkish Airline 981 crashes.  The movie "Knowing" shows that date and 346 killed.  When you go to that date in the MOT, you find:

The ascending chapter line number is 347 minus 1 because 3/3/74 is in the left column and you have 346 deaths.  Exactly the number actually killed that day both according to "Knowing" and my research.

Do look at the narrative.  Mr. Gann did give a "Tip of the hat" to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, twice as I recall, and I do believe he's giving one to the person who decoded this first item and a clue.  First he brings in the elder Mr. Watson reminiscent of...Sherlock Holmes.  And second, Robert tells us his method is based on science and the law of cycles laid down in the Bible.  I think that noteworthy.  And I'll take Mr. Gann's posthumous "Tip of the hat" with humility.

Before we go on, this can't keep happening this way.  I had conceived I'd have to use the four numbers available in some combination (add, subtract, multiply, divide) to arrive at a close prediction of the number of deaths.  And so it was.  The immediately preceding event was a warm up.  An easy example.  After all, we had to do some mathematic machinations to get the "9/11/01 2996" answer.

9/19/1985 Mexico City earthquake killing 10153.  The ascending cumulative line number of 9725 plus the ascending chapter of 388 gives us 10113; only 40 off from the actual.

12/26/2004 Indian Ocean earthquake/tsunami aka the Christmas earthquake/tsunami killing 229,866 according to "Knowing." There's a story to that.  The "Knowing" news clip says that many thousands may lie beneath the waters and rubble.  When I look up the details in Wikipedia, its capsulation at the right says that "230,000 to 280,000" died.  We simply don't know with reasonable accuracy.  For that reason, for this one item, I took the average in the spreadsheet at 255,000.

So what is the closest I can get out of the combination of the four numbers available to me?  Here is the MOT excerpt:

And from those numbers we may arrive at 260,028:

The MOT is off by 5,028.  Or is it?

Summary of 9 events.  Taking the 9 events in "Knowing" which were actual historical events, the cumulative deaths were 278,077 versus the MOT's 283,167 as "constructed" from the 4 numbers.  Of the 5,090 difference, 5,028 related to the Indian Ocean event.  The remaining 9 events were, therefore, off a net of 62.  And most (7 out of 9) were close, if not exact.

And that major Indian Ocean difference of 5,028; well, who might be correct?  Wikipedia, that admits a variance of 50,000 (230,000 - 280,000)?  Or Mr. Gann's point estimate?  I'd think Mr. Gann in 1927 knew the real number better than Wikipedia in 2016.  But that's me.

And that 12th event that was misdated on the "Knowing" map; 17/2/08?  The final event I evaluated and found never existed; it brought me face to face with "How."  From the end of one enigma to give me a piece needed to begin to answer another.

*******

I've tried this exercise with dates that were not in the movie "Knowing" with mixed results.  My thought on that is Mr. Gann "saw" the movie "Knowing" and designed TTTTA and the MOT to "work out" the number of deaths accordingly.  

Standing alone, the "9/11/01 2996" prediction made in 1927 by WD Gann is vastly persuasive.  There's hardly any explaining how a person, unless they be dedicated to randomness, can deny the determinism of finding both the number of deaths and number of innocent deaths as did the MOT.  Now we have 9 more instances of foresight, of determinism that are, in their cumulative, vastly more persuasive.  Ten in total which reduces to the "1."  

"Ten" and I discovered this today.  I am told the Egyptian daughter of Ra,  Ankhsoun, Daughter of Ra  considered the number 10 as the name of God.  And this is what I found just below "How:"

Ten spelled twice in red with Ra spelled in yellow and a second time if you read it ascending as well as descending.  I count the word "Ten" spelled 20 times in the vertical acrostics/telestics but the zig-zag "ten" above is not within that count.  It would make 21 but there may be more.  That word was spelled a lot.  And one last thought on 10...the greatest earthquake ever record was the 1960 Valdivia, Chile earthquake at 9.5.  Two of the many foreshocks dwarfed the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

"How" did he do it?  Does it matter if the time is not to be "shortened?"  Until he confirmed his thought of what the "Numbers" meant, Professor Koestler was dealing with the "If" these things are true.  What was Professor Koestler's questions to himself upon confirming his thoughts of the date of the end?

Why do I learn these things now?

How am I supposed to save the world?

"Number is the if and why."  And "how."

I'd planned on ending this series of essays with a letter to my family regarding predicted forthcoming events and a February 25, 2016 essay in light of the outcome of the first predicted date.  When this project turned out as it did, I considered it evidence that might be that which is necessary for any person sitting on the fence of believing in Mr. Gann's foresight...and sitting on the fence regarding preparation.  Now, with 1 essay left to 266, I'm not sure how I'll end this series.  There is such a mountain of evidence do I need to find and document still more?  Its fun for an obsessive to work the puzzle knowing he'll find something.... and I'm sure that Mr. Gann buried multiples more than I've discovered.  The guaranteed Pavlovian self reward.  But the marginal utility for anyone reading it would be small.  If you dismissed the foregoing, you'd dismiss any incremental discoveries.

If you are so disposed to believe the evidence, the "miracles" as I call them, then I would recommend a re reading of the next previous essay.  I am not in any way wavering in my belief that Mr. Gann has warned us out of his unfailing foresight derived from his study of the unfailing Bible.  In my estimation, the later two, one of which was dependent on the other, was and is perfect.  The truth of that which is conveyed in TTTTA, as interpreted by me, is dependent only on my perception of what is written.  If nothing else, I did the best I could.

Jim Ross

A challenge; "Draw me a picture of what the future is going to look like."

"Draw me a picture of what the future is going to look like."

"Maybe it means something, like a map or something."

"I've matched these numbers to the dates to every global disaster of the last 50 years in perfect sequence; earthquakes, fires, tsunamis.  The next number on the chain predicts tomorrow, somewhere on the planet, 81 people are going to die, in some kind of tragedy."

"Systems that find meaning in numbers are a dime a dozen.  Why?  Because people see what they want to see."

"The numbers are a warning."

"What happens when the numbers run out?"

*******

In the movie, "Knowing," we have a perfect "map" of thought laid out which we may follow. 

The plot and evidence.  Fictional Lucinda Embry drew a picture, a map, of numbers that, 50 years later and without theretofore discovery, re-told a troubled astrophysics professor, John Koestler, the great tragic events of those 50 years, and the last 3 events yet to occur.  He proved the numbers to events that had occurred and as those last 3 events occurred.  Entirely fictional but thoughtful.

Ultimately, Professor Koestler could not refute the truth of the Lucinda Embry's map.

WD Gann drew a picture, "Map of Time," or MOT, of the future in his 1927 "The Tunnel Thru the Air"  and encoded it into the acrostic/telestic words and into mathematic devices found in "The Tunnel Thru the Air."   The MOT was proven on September 11, 2015 by the same method the Professor proved Lucinda's map.  Many of those encoded words and devices are as clear in intention and content as the perfection of mathematics.  There's an abundance of confirmation and/or collateral messages that create a web of evidence and confound the intellectually honest but otherwise doubtful:

• the 6th prophecy of 9/11 and the date of and the deaths that day,
• the 7th prophecy that I would discover and confirm my name and identity in TTTTA,
• dozens of acrostic/telestic words describing events yet to occur after TTTTA's publication,
• the name of the author of "Knowing," Ryne Pearson Douglas, encoded in TTTTA,
• the perfect math and undeniable foresight of the phrase "Tip the hat,".....
• even the simple narrative predictions of the Great Depression and WWII found on page 82.

The miracle in plain sight; can a trader, Mr. Gann, followed by an auditor on the NYSE floor, and without an electronic calculator much a computer, enter 286 trades in 25 days and incur only 22 losses?  Is that statistically possible under the most generous interpretation of "random walk?"

The challenge.  Any person of math and logic cannot, in Emerson and Swedenborg's concept of "intellectual character," dismiss and avoid the truth of these facts and circumstances as evidence.  Yet, without any consideration, Professor Koestler's presentation of the "map" is rejected by his learned associate as a system not worth a "dime a dozen."  Similarly, within minutes of my presentation of the 7th Prophecy, I was attacked as "having lost it."  There wasn't time for consideration of the evidence...simply an intellectually bigoted reaction to such an affront of the norm of thinking.

So the challenge to Professor Koestler was, "can these things of so vastly improbable proportions be cast aside without due consideration?"  Can a person of "intellectual character" convict without trial?

The evidence in real time.  In a series of events, the Professor experienced in real time the evidence; there was the Gulf oil rig disaster (water), the airplane terrorist disaster (air), the subway attack (land) and, finally, the solar flare (fire).  Fictional of course.

Similarly, we have dates in the WD Gann Map of Time and some varying evidence of their importance, February 21-24, March 2-19, May 9 and October 19 of 2016.  The first of the dates, February 21-24, and more specifically, February 24, and its expected nature, is sourced and documented in many essays.  The remaining dates are not consequential unless the first is "proven by time," as Mr. Gann might say, as true.

That date, February 24 is very consequential to perhaps "one third" of all persons in our nation and, perhaps the world, given that a great percentage of all persons live within 50 miles of coastal areas.

Should the predicted events of February 24 prove true, then, as Professor Koestler experienced, all of our perceptions of reality and faith will change.  We will have seen the evidence in real time.

The numbers are a warning.  What happens when the numbers run out?  According to the method I have identified in the WD Gann "Map of Time" I believe we reach the end of the numbers (the 168th year of the MOT cycle) and we "begin again."  But that's just a method, not a truth.

Mr. Gann reprises the words of Mark 13:20 and Mathew 24:22 three times in TTTTA:

The number of page 89 plus the year in which TTTTA was published, 1927, is 2016.  Personally, I conclude the numbers will start again but not before the tribulation of which they warn.

*******

I've been watching a number I noticed this week.  A bright line in the research I've presented in this blog was my first realization that Mr. Gann intended his work be interpreted as having meaning in our generation; upon the election of the 266th Pope.  As all things in this endeavor, it took weeks or months to understand that spark of imagination and then prove the lengths to which Mr. Gann went to confirm that importance.  The message of the 266th Pope is that TTTTA's encoded messages are meant for our generation....for now.

So, that number I've been following is near an end.  I didn't intend it this way; it just happened.  This essay will be my 264th since I started as an ignorant believer in the randomness of all things, mystified at the apparent but in-decodable order of numbers:

I plan a letter, a 265th essay, to my family from the least of its spiritually enlightened which I hope will inspire them to do what is necessary to have removed from the West Coast their loved ones.  I will use it as my guide when I visit them in their homes and try to explain to them my concern.  I will be in hazardous territory, the home of a distinguished minister and in another home of a long studied and dedicated Christian.  Again, I am the least in their company but will do my best.

The last essay, the 266th of this series, I expect to write on about February 25, 2016.  In my former philosophy of life it would be a "how stupid was I to write these things" type of essay.  This time it will follow one of two paths depending on the events or lack of events of February 21-24.  If the events prove true, then the essay will reprise thoughts of beginning again.  If false, I will not accuse myself of the vanity of being wrong but express the blessing of having been wrong.  I'm forever the better for this journey; I'll be wrong but I won't, as I once naively remarked, be the 'goat.'  Either way I'll view the result as "His will be done."

The challenge to you, a person appreciative of the exactness and perfection of numbers, is to consider the evidence.  Its easy for me because I saw a miracle of numbers in real time.  You, on the other hand, haven't that experience.  You do have the mountain of miracles of improbability which I've documented.  If you concentrate on only one, consider the most recent "Tip the hat" which finds both mathematic perfection and foresight confirmed in the movie "San Andreas."  Ask yourself, "Can this vastly improbable foresight happen?"  Mr. Gann could create the enigma, yes.  Could he, in 1927, foresee the phrase "Tip the Hat" included in the 2015 movie, San Andreas?  "Can this happen?"

And then, what do you do about it?  I offer a thought of how Mr. Gann might respond:

Signs. "No sign shall be given, but the sign of the prophet Jonas."  If you have not done so, you need to see the movie, the picture, San Andreas.

It has been an honor to have my thoughts considered by persons of intellectual character,

"Tip the hat" - San Andreas, TTTTA and the Kepler Triangle

In reviewing the movie San Andreas, I've come upon an acrostic phrase "Tip the hat" which figured prominently in the movie and is found in WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air."  Unlike thought to be debatable single acrostic/telestic words, multiple phrases comprised of acrostic/telestic words spaced at repeating intervals between the phrase components, such as the "Tao device," prove the author's intentionally encoding that message.  If the phrase is an event yet to occur, then you must deal with the proposition of the author's foresight.  "Tip the hat" displays both; intention and foreknowledge.  But first, the movie and the simple acrostic/telestic words.

The 2015 movie, "San Andreas," has already been cited in terms of its encoding in WD Gann's 1927 "The Tunnel Thru the Air."  In that previous essay, we find the words for Hoover Dam and tectonic plates as children messages of the greater message "Ring In Fire."  To supplement, and I am not going to provide all of the narratives, we find the following principle characters:

Ray Grimes, the Los Angeles Fire Department first responder, played by the "Rock" Dwayne Johnson, is found on lines 143-146 of the WD Gann Map of Time.  The narrative is not noteworthy.

Emma Grimes, Ray's soon to be ex, can be found at line 2194 as "emah." The narrative is entirely noteworthy as it describes what you visually see when you watch the movie:

Ollie, an early teen who accompanies his brother, Daniel, and meets Blake, Rays daughter, the three of whom wander the apocalyptic San Francisco, trusting that Ray and Emma would save them.  Dan and Blake are not pivot but Ollie is.  Blake displays her knowledge of practical things and there comes a time when the three must make a choice.  They must choose to follow the stream of people walking towards the Bay, or do as Blake says, they must go uphill, against the hordes to find a place where her father, in his helicopter, can save them.  Dan wants to follow the crowd.  Ollie convinces his brother with an argument similar to "You have seen the things she can do, do you follow those who have not shown you these things?"  I am reminded of the many exhortations in the Bible of "you have seen these things I have done, go and tell others."  I am reminded of the first line of Marie's letter of disappearance "According to your faith, be I unto you" or Mathew 9:29 and others. Ollie can be found as "olie" at line 10518.  The truth from a child perhaps?

Los Angeles Fire Department, the employer of Ray, is one of the first words you see in the movie (its on Rays hard helmet aside his name) and, as if to confirm the finding of Ray's acrostic reflection in TTTTA, we as well find "lfd" as a telestic word at line 2001.  I find the attendant narrative meaningful but that's me:

There's far more in acrostics/telestics that are compelling.  But the above word 'signs' dwarf in comparison to more 'perfect' and objective information.  Three far more important messages.

Tip the Hat

I give this acrostic phrase "Tip the Hat" the separate subsection emphasis comparable to its immense improbability.  Ponder that.  Mr. Gann gives us, in his 1927 "TTTTA, the Rock, Dwayne Johnson's exact words in the 2015 movie, "San Andreas."  Mr. Gann gives us those words 3 times separated by a rational mathematic sequence indicating absence of randomness; those phrases were intelligently and intentionally created.  Proof of design and proof of foresight.

Tip the Hat is both a telestic/acrostic phrase that proves the mathematic integrity of the Map of Time using the Tao device.  In short, when we find a marker word such as "TAO" and a suspected target, such as "WAR" then we need to look equidistant from the words to discover "to."  Then, we have mathematically proven, amid an infinity of improbability, the intent of the author to create the phrase "Tao to War" or, interpreted "Path to War."  The prophecy of 9/11 is thus mathematically proven to have been purposefully encoded into TTTTA.

"Tip the hat" is a dramatic and dangerous helicopter maneuver which Ray performs in the first scene of San Andreas.  A helicopter, in order to insert itself between two cliffs, must radically rock itself, tip itself, to get below an overhanging cliff and between the two peaks.  From there Ray and crew are able to access, by line and winch, an accident victim clinging to a lower perch of the cliff.  

So I said to myself, would Mr. Gann have so encoded that key phrase?  He did; in three places.  The first was easy to find...like 'falling off a cliff' you might say.  First, I find 3 telestic/acrostic occurrences of "tip," 10 occurrences of "the" and 8 occurrences of "hat" on line numbers as follows:

My objective is to find a mathematic rule that will find the "the" between the "Tip" and the "hat."  If I do, then I can satisfy myself that Mr. Gann designed this proof and that the proof included his foreknowledge of the movie, San Andreas.  

There are 3 lines where we find "Tip;" 6515, 10874 and 12081.  Either Mr. Gann created a systematic function that "squares up" or extrapolates out those there lines to mathematically create three phrases of "tip the hat" or all that I have studied about Mr. Gann's mathematic approach is untrue.  I know an algorithm will be there.  Its taken me hours, days; I believe the below only scratches the surface.

Line 6515.  The first line was as easy as the latter two lines were...problematic.  I found the first "the" the old fashioned way, I used endpoints of the phrase and looked in between.  Since I suspected Mr. Gann counted lines in ascending fashion, I used the lowest "marker" word on line 6515 and then the lowest target word above line 6515 or 6671 and said to myself, there must be a "the" in between 6515 and 6671.  And there was; it was line 6619.  It was 2/3rds the 156 interval between 6515 and 6671; exactly 2/3rds and it is highlighted in yellow below.  Easy.

Where in the tao device the word "to" was equidistant between "tao" and "war," this altered device is 2/3rds above the marker, "tip" or 1/3rd below the target "hat."

Line 10874.  We have a problem.  If you take the marker line 10874, there aren't any target lines that exceed 10874; the highest was 9812.  I need to find a marker that works in mathematics 2/3rds harmony with the midpoint "the."

So what does this mean?  I interpret it to mean we progress from the marker to the end of the sequence, the last line number 15340, and then "start again" as Mr. Gann told us how to count digits after the digit, 9.  Its circular, we 'start again.'  The 2/3rds interval, then, is from the marker to 15340 plus then from the line number of the first "the."  That will be 2/3rds of the total interval which we multiply by 3/2 to extrapolate from the original marker to the target.

We have another problem...unlike the first iteration that was perfect and gave us the 2/3rd calculation, there aren't any "expected" line numbers that match the actual line numbers.  The closest we get is the green highlighted 1281 expected line number and the 1210 actual line number which are 71 lines apart (70.5 if you count a decimal).

Let's table line 19874 for the moment and look at the 3rd and last "tip" line 12091.

Line 12091.  It happened again.  Extrapolating each "Tip" and "the" interval by 2/3rds we do not have a match between the expected line and an actual line containing "the."  The closest we get is highlighted in blue, a failure by 71 lines, and the next closest we get is highlighted in purple, a failure by 114 lines.

Has the algorithm failed?  Do we have an absence of a system Mr. Gann may have designed to supplement the already recognizable improbability of "Tip the hat" occurring in both 1927 TTTTA and 2015 San Andreas?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Mr. Gann would, in my mind, never miss such a teachable moment for someone who has worked so hard.

Always looking at the numbers, I'm starting to notice something.  There seems to be some relationships in those remainders 70.5, 71 and 114.  Yes, there is:

We have the sides of the Kepler triangle, 1, Phi, Phi ^2:

  

It appears we have a progression of remainders that form the proportions of the Kepler triangle.  I don't know what it means.  But I know it isn't random.  I have so many more questions regarding every one of those line numbers and their resolution but there simply is not enough time.  The main point; Mr. Gann had an opportunity to design a mathematic system out of the "Tip the hat" encoded phrase that demonstrates both his intent and his foresight... I am satisfied he did.  But that's me.

*******

I believe there is a lot more to the "tip the hat" proof and my intuition tells me it goes to the heart of how time cycles might be mathematically constructed; a progression of exponents and relations among diatonic tones (note, there are 8 permutations above similar to 8 notes in the diatonic scale and 7 intervals).  But that's my imagination and I go down as many (far more) dead ending paths than otherwise.

What is apparent from the whole of the above is the several important words that demonstrate the foresight; that WD Gann saw the emergence of the movie San Andreas and he wanted us to take notice.  The integrity of the "tip of hat" would be only a "tip of the hat" to the detective who solves it or to the one who envisioned it.

In addition to all of the above, I believe Mr. Gann wants us to heed the simple conversation Ollie has with his brother;  "You have seen these things she could do.  We do not need to follow the crowd.  We need to follow her."

Sound familiar?

A post publication note important to me.  When I found the first of 3 instances of "tip the hat" formed a perfect 2/3rds relation of spacing intervals, I breathed a sigh and believed the remaining 2 phrases would be easy to prove as being 'systemic.'  Like shooting fish in a barrel.  That was not the case.  The closest I could come out of all the permutations of locations of the three words comprising the phrase was a 70.5 line remainder.  So I skipped to the 3rd observation of "tip" to see if I could do better.  At first, I found one that was 114 lines off and pretty much immediately recognized the first and third remainders gave me 114/70.5= 1.617...Phi.  But it just didn't exhibit a system among the three....just two of the three observations.

I worked for hours.  I slept on it and worked for hours again.  I knew the system was there.  I knew Mr. Gann would hide it deeply but it would be there.  And then, I turned off the TV that keeps me company every day and I prayed that I would find the system.  Praying in the middle of the day.

Within an hour of that prayer I found the second line spacing error in the 3rd observation which was 71.  I then had 71/70.5=1 and 114/70.5=Phi and (114+71)/70.5=Phi^2.  The four best results of the 2/3rds rule had remainders that form the sides of the Kepler Triangle.  Mathew 7:7.  JR
