WD Gann predicted the 9/11 tragedy in "The Tunnel Thru the Air. I'd long considered it likely, an uncomfortable feeling, but did not have the last elements of its proof (my post on this blog "WD Gann meets Johnathan Cahn" dated August 2, 2014). The last element of proof is the exact timing given by Mr. Gann. I found it several weeks ago but was holding it as part of a planned but now abandoned book. I know that timing and will provide it in the next several posts. I expect 3 posts to provide my case; Mr. Gann's hidden word. In the end, I will have proven by a preponderance of evidence, Mr. Gann predicted the attack of 9/11 to within one minute of when Muhammad Ata departed Boston's Logan Airport and within minutes of the fall of the South Tower. But the prophecy does not end there; it is ongoing and Biblical as I will explain in a fourth post. I believe this to be one important aspect of the knowledge that Mr. Gann asserted the world was then not ready to receive; knowledge destined for the age of the 266th Pope (page 82 of TTTTA). And the 266th Pope was elected in 2013.
WD Gann's Methods
Understanding WD Gann's vast creation of the very detailed and unmistakable prophecy of 9/11 requires understanding methods of conveying meaning and methods of encryption. Why didn't Mr. Gann simply state his prophecy in plain words? Because words lie; intentionally and unintentionally. Language is ambiguous. The person speaking or writing, despite his/her best efforts, is seldom, if ever, perfectly clear. Even if clear, the person receiving the meaning may misinterpret the words. The great philosopher Gurdjiffe, as recalled by P.D. Outspensky, called it "subjective language" as opposed to "objective language." Gann said that the only language which people and nations can agree upon is that of math and science. Concepts that cannot be proven in math is subject to error by the sender and receiver.
But that's only one of the reasons the prophecy was buried in TTTTA as opposed to being issued in an article such as "Prophecy of 9/11" on a full page of the Wall Street Journal in 1927 with "WD Gann" listed as the author at the bottom of the page. Obviously, he would have become a pariah overnight; end of his business and associations. "This man is crazy, thinks he's a Nostradamus." But there's a greater reason; as Hermetics say, and St Clement of Alexandria and countless others would reprise, why would a knowledgable person throw "...pearls before swine?" Why should people, unwilling to work for knowledge, be entitled to that knowledge? And finally, displaying knowledge, over the ages, has been dangerous. Ask Galileo how it worked out for him.
Allusion to the 9/11 prophecy is provided at the surface level with the word "Mammouth." One must work to confirm the prophecy was made. The concepts of 'veiling' are at least centuries old and most are ancient. Here is a list off the top of my head of people (among others) I've studied to understanding their usages:
- Misspelling- Various, simplistic
- Numbers and mathematics as confirmation of meaning- Ancient, St Clement
- Acrostic and telestic encoding - Lord Francis Bacon/John Dee and many before
- Opposites- Hermetic from The Kybalion, timeless ancient knowledge
- Allegory- Philo of Alexandria
The Target; "The 110-story" Building, "The Mammouth Building"
Obviously,
misspelling alerts a reader to a disharmony. How can anyone see the word "The Mammouth Building," and, having recognized the true spelling is "Mammoth" without the 'u,' not pause? Was Mr. Gann that dumb and/or careless? I think not. Perhaps an enquiring mind might run a search on that misspelled word to see if there is a common historical usage? Failing to find a distant common usage, what do you do with the word? File it in 'curious.'
Now what do you do when you see "110-story Mammouth Building?" A number confirming the misspelling disharmony. An enquiring mind, having lived in the age of 9/11, will want to know more. At least, if he makes the connection with the 110-story World Trade Center. Most people will make that connection and, of them, not a person has gone appreciably farther. Any farther at all that I can find. Until I wrote about it several months ago. And until now.
So, the "110-story,""The Mammouth Building" are discordant surface level notations, anything else? How about "The Cedar." Perhaps on page 369, where Gann refers to the 110-story building as "the cedar," is connecting the Mammouth Building with Ezekiel 17:3. Jonathan Cahn; the Isaiah 9:10 prophecy. This is putting the cart before the horse, but "the Cedar" will be the connection to Gann's ongoing prophecy envisioned to be presented in a fourth post. It is the real reason I am writing this series. But let's get back to the methods of veiling.
Okay, we have a surface meaning of The Mammouth Building; how do we confirm there is something meaningful in the initial disharmony? How about rudimentary gematria. Actually, not even rising to the level of gematria, but mathematic, nonetheless. How many letters are there in "The Mammouth Building?" There are 19 letters…the same as "The World Trade Center." 19 is a very meaningful number, by the way. The gematria system of the Pythagorean system for the two phrases are 89 and 92, respectively, that reduce to 17 and 11. Interesting, the WTC reduces once to 11 (9+2). There isn't any confirmation in the more detailed gematria, but we do have the same number of letters; 19. Did Gann style the name of the building to be intentionally 19 letters as was the WTC….and the same number of stories? The 110-story building? Numbers, 19 and 110 confirming the surface meaning.
More circumstance, numbers of occurrence. How many times do we find the words "Mammouth,""110", and "cedar" in TTTTA? We find "Mammouth" six times in TTTTA, once as "The Mammouth" and five times as "the Mammouth Building." 1 and 5. The first instance occurs on the 432nd line of Chapter 34 (the mis-numbered Chapter XXXIX). I've counted the lines in that chapter. It is on line 432 in chapter 39, err 34, allowing a line between page heading and the first line and a line between pages. That number, 432, is also the number of pages in TTTTA when counting the cover and blank pages. 432 is a cosmically important number found in the mysteries of the Great Pyramid of Giza and in astronomic measurements of the solar system. It is the number encoded in Luke passages 1:24, 27, 36, 56 and 59 (5X6X6X3X8=4320). 4320 divided by 2 is the diameter of the moon, 432,000 multiplied by 2 is the diameter of the sun, 432 squared is the speed of light…. The next five occurrences of "Mammouth" are all worded as "The Mammouth Building." One instance and five instances. Concatenate those two numbers, 1 and 5, and remember the number; 15. The same number already mentioned; 15, File it in 'don't forget' and... don't forget.
Now, the "110-story" building. A quick scan and we find it once on line 433 of Chapter 34 (XXXIX). Only once. We find the number "110" appearing another 188 times in TTTTA making a total of 189.
Now, "cedar." Similar to "the Mammouth" and "110-story" we find "the cedar" only once referring to the alternate name of the 110-story Mammouth Building. There are another 5 instances of the use of the word "cedar" but they all relate to a type of word; branch of the cedar, cedar boards, etc. Interestingly, we find the former one reference as "the cedar" on page 369, Chapter 31 (XXXI) and it is the 431st line of that chapter. Did I miscount and miss a line in this chapter? If I did this might be line 432 just as was "The Mammouth" on line 432 of Chapter 34. Another day. The takeaway to "The cedar" is again 1 instance of one usage (referring to the Mammouth Building) and 5 usages as a type of wood or tree; 1 and 5. Again, 15. The "don't forget" file is getting bigger.
One more permutation. If you take the 6 total occurrences of "Mammouth" and add the one occurrence of "110-story building" which was substituted for "The Mammouth Building", you get 7 total occurrences. The same is true of the 6 total occurrences of "cedar" when you add one occurrence of "110-story;" you get 7. Now you take 6 of "Mammouth," 6 of "cedar" and 1 of "110-story" and you get 13. Both 7 and 13 having numerological and other significance. File them in respectively named folders.
Nope, yet one more "coincidence." Cedar appears on line 431 of Chapter 31, "the Mammouth" appears on line 432 of Chapter 34 (aka XXXIX), and "110-story" appears on line 433 of chapter 34 (aka XXXIX). Say that quickly…..431, 432 and 433. Cute Mr. Gann, cute. That is not random coincidence, now is it? I envision readers with hands over their eyes, hands over their ears, hands over their mouths. Courage you random walkers; we, yet, have such a long way to go down this road.
The Perpetrators
So far, we have only a very discomforting and, increasingly so, feeling of the similarity between "The Mammouth Building" and the WTC. How can Mr. Gann prove to us, people who are
working to understand his true meaning, that he is talking about the events that involved the two buildings; one allegorical and fictional, the other real and doomed. He will give us more contrived, designed circumstances.
Acrostics and telestics, devices that are centuries old but prominently used by Lord Francis Bacon and John Dee, aka, the first "007." Lord Bacon was only once noted in TTTTA but John Dee is mentioned exactly 46 times…. in the telestic encoding. I'll reserve the unmistakeable telestic references to John Dee for now as the subject is off point.
Bacon and Dee were contemporaries living in the time of Queen Elizabeth I (1500s/1600s). Bacon, a lawyer, philosopher and writer (many believe him to have been the author of many of the works of Shakespeare), wrote a book on then modern methods of encryption. Dee was the scientist, mathematician, magician of Queen Elizabeth I's and Maximillian's courts and friend of Bacon. In his time, Dee was known to have 4000 'volumes' in his library when Cambridge had only 400. Both were reputed for their veiled writings, Dee being known to the Queen in personal correspondence as "007." Both were thought to have been Rosicrucian/Hermetic, at least in philosophy, if not in fact.
Acrostic and telestic, the same method with a different object. An acrostic is the use of the first letter of consecutive lines of text to spell a hidden word. A telestic is the same but using the last letter of a line. Consider the very first paragraph of TTTTA where we find the "six e's:"
![]()
The last letter of six consecutive lines i "e." This "word" is created by Mr. Gann with a meaning; that the entirety of TTTTA will be littered with meaningful acrostic and telestic words that confirm meaning at the surface or plain word level OR convey new meaning. If you believe 6 e's is not designed by Gann but, rather, is just a coincidence, then you needn't read any further. It is statistically prohibitive to think this design was not intended… I've presented the math and statistics in other posts. If the probability of six consecutive coin tosses of a fair count is 1 divided by 2 to the 6th power (1/2^6, a joint probability) then the probability of 6 consecutive e's is 1 divided by 26 to the 6th power if all letters had an equal likelihood of occurrence (as a head or tail has an equal probability on a single coin toss). Since 'e' is a popular level, I will conceded the improbability of 6 consecutive e's is a mere 1 divided by, oh, 13 to the 6th power. 1 / 13^6. Pretty small. AND in the very first paragraph. "Be alerted to the acrostic/telestic method" is what 6 e's screams to the thoughtful reader.
Alerted to the existence of acrostic/telestic encoding, what might have been buried to support a prophecy of 9/11? How about the perpetrator, Muhammad Ata? Yes, there are exactly 15 acrostic spellings of "ata" in TTTTA (blue highlighted):
That's 15. There isn't a 16th, or 17th….. Exactly 15. Where is that file, "don't forget," I've been keeping?
Provided above, you will find the exact page number of 15 instances, the only 15 instances, of the word "ata" spelled in the acrostics/telestics of TTTTA. Make that "only in acrostics." Not a single telestic. Of those 15, arguably 7 provide meaning or emphasis to the surface narrative from which they are derived (see the arrows). For those 7 that I sensed a narrative connection to the 9/11 tragedy I provide, at the right, the exact narrative comprising the acrostic word. That way you can see those 7 meanings AND you can construct the acrostic word for those 7 as well. Needless to say, the other 8 instances of 'ata" can be traced to the page number I provide. You can prove all 15 to yourself if you will do the work.
Numbers generated in the previous paragraph; 7 and 15. Obviously 7, is a universally and Biblically important number. And 15. On 9/11/2001 there were 4 flights highjacked BUT only three of the flights attacked the US. The fourth was scuttled in a farm field in Pennsylvania and did not inflict damage on the US…save for the tragic loss of the lives of those on board. Of the three flights that successfully assaulted the US, there were five terrorists on each of the three flights. 3X5=15. A number confirming the meaning of "ata." Look it up in Wikipedia; 5 terrorists on each of the three flights; 15.
Since we are considering the terrorists, what about the means of their terror; the three planes. American Airlines flight 11 was first to attack the North Tower of WTC with Ata on board, United Air flight 175 followed hitting the South Tower, and American Airlines flight 77 attacked the Pentagon. [Interesting, 11 and 77, but deferred for now.] It nagged me for such a long time that I could not find any trace of those flights in the acrostics/telestics. I kept seeing "TWA" but not a hint of American or United. In fact, 15 prominent citations of the word "TWA" in the acrostics encoding. This time I'll provide just the page numbers where you may find them.
![]()
Those 15 citations of "TWA" and the absence of any reference to American Air or United Air finally jogged my memory. TWA was formed in 1925, prior to and existing at the publication of TTTTA. Amid financial turmoil its assets were liquidated in early 2001 with the principal assets being ultimately acquired by American Airlines shortly thereafter. For all we know, the three planes assaulting the US on September 11, 2001 may have been first owned by TWA. For certain, we know, TWA was the name of the company that was substantially and ultimately acquired by American Airlines in 2001. Flights 11 and 77 were "TWA" flights in that sense of history; the time in which TTTTA was written.
15 citations of "Ata" and 15 citations of "TWA", the exact number of terrorists and means of their terror. All 30 total citations were acrostics. None were telestics. If you believe in randomness, do you believe there could not have been a single "ata" or "TWA" that was a telestic? If you can't wrap your mind around this improbability, again, you should not be reading further; you've already ruled the earth is the center of the universe just as the Church so rudely informed Galileo.
15 citations of "Ata" and 15 of "TWA." There was 1 occurrence of "the Mammouth" and 5 of "the Mammouth Building". There was 1 occurrence of "the cedar" referring to the building and 5 referring to the type of wood or tree. Concatenate 1 and 5 and you have 15. The "don't forget" file is brimming.
There are so many details of the 9/11 attack that Mr. Gann provides. I find new "coincidences" each time I search. Once complete, the allusion of the simple discordant "Mammouth" will have become a fully articulated prediction that leads to the 9/11 tragedy. The "don't forget" file will have become the size of a healthy chapter in a Dickens' novel. Gann's meaning will become as undeniable as the math of 2+2=4. Errrrr, that's an opinion and a not so humble one at that. But I have "worked out" the evidence, so reserve the condemnation.
Next up, I will compare details of the "Gigantic Attack on New York City" (page 362) and those of the events of September 11, 2001. A new concept will be used; the ancient concept of the opposite; the positive and negative, the male and female, the ying and yang, the odd and the even…. And in the third post of the series, I will provide the exact timing, to within one minute, of onset of the 9/11 attack as encoded in TTTTA in 1927. And at that point, this grand, hidden allegory and prediction will be complete. That encoding has been buried in TTTTA for 88 years, until I found it in 2015. I know, the "I'"s become narcissistic. But the "I" is important, as well, as may demonstrated in posts beyond this series and in a separate manifest prophecy.
You can perform a word search on the first edition copy of TTTTA at archive.org to find "Mammouth,""110-story,""the cedar." If or when you do visit archive.org, pull the page bar at the bottom all the way to the right, to the final page…its page 432, the back cover. I've given you the page numbers of acrostic/telestic words to support the "conflagration of circumstance" concerning "ata" and "TWA." Its up to you to prove it to yourself, prove me wrong or, otherwise, just consider in silence:
