A Moon Beam Thru the Tunnel
隧道里的一束月光
By Petter Ivar Amundsen
The “Tunnel Thru the Air” is mysterious and contains a valuable secret, clothed in veiled language.” These are Mr. Gann's own words in the foreword of the novel. I have had the good fortune to discover a part of this secret. The reason for writing this article is to display the depth of his writing and inspire others to investigate its mysteries.
Have you ever considered the title of the book? “The Tunnel Thru the Air or, Looking Back from 1940”? Strange, isn't it? The title will, however, give us two clues. The first is the slang spelling of the word through, the second is the year 1940. The last date in the book is in 1932. I was also puzzled by the fact that the subject of the title, the Tunnel, played merely a minor part in the plot. The story could have worked well without this artifact. There might just be a hidden meaning here somewhere...
Another curious fact is the frequent use of the number 69. Robert Gordon was born on 6.9.1906. He occupied an office on 69 Wall St. and the Jonah “key” is on page 69. What if Mr. Gann was hinting at the Zodiacal sign Cancer, which is symbolized by this figure? When I consider the Jonah parallel, that the “Son of man (would) be three days and three nights in the heart of the Earth”, I cannot help thinking about the moon's disappearance during a lunation. It is invisible for three days and three nights. You could also say that it is “in the heart of the Earth” as it is placed directly between the Sun and the Earth, just as the voice of our heart receives the light of our Lord. The Son of man, Jesus, was the perfect reflector of the light from above. Cancer is ruled by the Moon.
On page 177 we find the first encounter between Robert and an astrologer. Robert wants to know how and when he will meet his Marie, and Professor Joyful, as he is called, tells him that they will reunite in New York, since this city is ruled by Cancer and his radix Venus is in this sign. On page 248 there is the letter from the Canadian astrologer who points to the heavenly constellations at the Marie disappeared. Venus was about to change signs from Cancer to Leo and was separating from, among others, Mars. In the last sentence of the letter, he said that a progressed conjunction between Venus and Mars would bring her back. There are several methods for progressing a horoscope and progressing alone is not accurate enough to explain why they would meet at that date in 1932. What the statement does, is to throw some light on the association between Robert and Mars. The association between Venus and Marie is already well established.
If you cast a horoscope for the and place Marie wrote her farewell note to Robert ( June 5, 1927 - 3 a.m.), you will find that Venus and Mars is within orb of conjunction in the sign Cancer. They would not share this sign until August 1932! There would be several conjunctions between the two planets, but none in Cancer as viewed from the Earth. But what about the incident in Paris, mentioned on page 241, where Robert was sure he saw Marie? If you look up your Heliocentric Ephemeris you will find that “in the latter part of February 1929” there was a conjunction in Cancer! No wonder why the morning was “sunshiny”!
I hope you see the pattern here, but one important question remains. Why did they reunite around 11 a.m. on August 30, 1932? Why that date and that time? Mr. Gann was careful to write 3 a.m. on the farewell note. Could we not suspect that the timing of the reunion should be as accurate?
It is here we must confer the moon. If you cast another horoscope for the exact time and place of this final event and check out the position of the moon you will get the answer. The Moon is at the exact same spot it occupied when they were separated! This event is called a Lunar Return, just as any anniversary date is a Solar Return. Mr. Gann must have been doing some detailed planning to mold this plot together! But it does not stop here. Now it is time to look back to the title.
“The Tunnel Thru the Air.” Doesn't it strike you that there is a similarity between this title and “The Lunar Return”? It sure made me take a closer look. The only problem appeared to be that you'd need an extra “r”. Hey, wasn't there a subtitle? I grabbed my game of Scrabble and wrote the whole thing, subtitle, numbers and all across our coffee-table. I tried several possibilities but nothing made sense. What about the number? Maybe it could be 0419 and point to some important page? No, the book is “only” of 418 pages.
“空中隧道”你有没有发现在“The Tunnel Thru the Air”和“The Lunar Return”有几分相似?它的确让我做了仔细的观察。但是唯一的问题出现了,你需要额外找到一个“R”。恩,这里不是有一个副标题吗?我开始了我的填字游戏,把所有的值得关注的东西写了一桌子。我尝试了几种可能性但是没找到什么感觉。这个数字有什么问题吗?是不是可能是0419并指向一个重要的页码?不是,这本书一共才418页。
Suddenly it dawned on me. Numerology! The numbers are letters, just as letters are numbers! Using the Pythagorean method and replacing zero with the letter “o”, it took only ten more minutes before I had the solution. The new title that emerged made sense, no letters were left over and it seemed I had the original idea for Mr. Gann to write the book! Why he would start with the mother, Amelia Gordon, and why he would end it as he did. Do you want to know the hidden title? Here you go: “From the Lunar Return, looking back to his mother.”

=====================================================
I Asked Mr. Gann: "What Is The Cause Behind the Time Factor?"
我问过江恩先生:“时间因素背后的原理是什么?”
He smiled and said:
"It has taken me twenty years of exhaustive study to learn the cause that produces effects according to time. That is my secret and too valuable to be spread broadcast. Besides, the public is not yet ready for it".
他微笑着说:“我花费了20年的时间彻底的学习这个原理,提出事物发展将依照时间的影响”这是我的秘密,并且由于它太贵重太有价值了以至于绝对不能广泛散播。除此之外,公众也没有心理准备去接受这个原理”
"Water seeks its level," continued Mr. Gann.
"You can force it higher with a pump, but when you stop pumping it requires no force to cause it to return to its former level.
“水往低处流”(英语成语),江恩先生接着说道:“你可以强行用抽水泵使它到更高的水位,但是当你停止泵水时,不需要任何外力施加给它因为他要返回到它从前的水位去
Stocks are the same. They can be forced above their natural level of values to where lambs lase all fear, become charged with hope and buy at the top. Then stocks are permitted to sink to a level where hope gives way to despair and the most rampant bull becomes a bear and sells out with a loss. My discovery of the time factor enables me to tell in advance when these extremes must, by the law of supply and demand, occur in stocks and commodities"
股票市场也是同样的。它们可以被强制的超过他们自然的价值水平,并象一群失去警惕的小羊羔,变的很有激情,充满希望的在顶部买入。在这之后股票开始堕落到一个可以使你的希望崩溃成绝望的水平上,最猖狂的疯牛变成了狗熊让你卖出就要承受损失。通过股票和期货市场中的供求规律以及我对时间因素的发现,使我能预先知道这一切在什么时候一定会走到尽头。”
ECCL 1:9 of BIBLE
" What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing new under the sun."
“过去已发生过的事情,以后还会发生,过去已经做过的事情,以后还会再次做,阳光下没有任何事物可以说它是新鲜的。”--《圣经》
ECCL 1:7 OF BIBLE
"All streams run to the sea,but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow there they continue to flow."
“百川归海,海水却永远不会满,江河从何处流就仍归回到何处”--《圣经》

One of the most amazing books ever written is W. D. Gann's 'Tunnel Thru The Air or Looking Back From 1940'. When you read it, as you owe it to yourself to do, you will probably make a mental note about page 69, because here Robert Gordon tells us that he has found the key to foretell the future, basis some bible quotes from Matthew. I have often wondered about this page and the meaning of the three days and the three nights.
Through years of intense study the meaning has been revealed to me. At least ONE of the meanings, that is, because there are several meanings to some of the Tunnel symbols. For the number 1940 I can think of 8 - 10 different uses.... So, what I offer here may not be the end all of Jonah.
通过几年热情的研究有些意思已经展现给我了。隧道这个符号一定有几层意思。1940这个数字我可以想出8-10种不同的用途,所以,这里提出的不是约拿书的全部。
Some of you may have read my Moon-beam article in Trader's World Magazine some years ago, In it I mention the Hebrew tradition of the new moon's disappearance and reappearance. It is gone for exactly three days and nights. I will now try to prove that this is the real meaning of page 69, but the lunation in question is not just any lunation; it is the Newmonia: the first new moon after the spring equinox. The books of James Mars Langham will teach all you need to know about it's usage for predicting the future.
你们中的一些人可能读过我的一些书《隧道中的一束月光》在那本书里,我提到了希伯来人在新月消失和再现时的传统,它就是那经过的三天三夜。我现在要试图证明这就是第69页的真实意思,但是问题中的阴历月不是一般的阴历月,它是“NEWMONIA”。是春分点之后的第一个新月。James Mars Langham先生的书,将教你们所有使用它去预测未来的方法。
My Traders World article was published about 1,940 days ago, as I write these words. That is a little over five years. 'Tunnel' was published in 1927 and the story ended in 1932. That is also about five years. The signing off date was May 9th, 1927 and the last date was August 30th, 1932. How many days are there between these dates? That's right, it is exactly 1,940! So, Gann is looking back from 1,940 days ahead when he is writing this masterpiece. It has very little to do with the year 1940.
我的书已经出版了1940天了,也就是5年多一点的时间吧。《空中隧道》一书是1927年出版,而故事的结束是在1932年,它也是5年时间。出版的日期是1927年5月9日,而结束的哪天是在1932年8月30日。两个日期之间间隔多长时间呢?对的,真的是1940个历法日。所以江恩是在写下这本杰作之前就回顾了1940天。1940年做不出什么来,没什么用。
How does this affect Jonah then? Well, when we read page 69 carefully we may notice that Robert picked three verses from Matthew 12. He may just as well have picked two in order to make his Jonah point and just quoted 12:39-40. But he chose to include verse 12:38 as well. So, we have three verses and three days and nights. What if we could remove the colon and read 1,238 - 1,240 instead? And then look back from day 1,940? Then we would find three days that maybe could tell us something?
The period we find is April 8th-10th, 1929. The first full moon of this year occurs at eight o'clock p.m. on the ninth. So, 'Jonah' is then invisible from day T minus 1,240 to T - 1,238. Try to work out the odds for this being a coincidence....
我们找到的日期是1929年4月8日-10日。这一年的第一个满月发生在9日的晚上8点。所以,约拿之后就看不见了从day T minus 1,240 to T - 1,238。努力的计算这样的事情发生的概率是一种巧合….
