The double loss of Annie and William was a staggering blow to Sarah. He reasoned that forces might be best explained in terms of warps in a higher dimension. Not far from the Bacon-fleur-de-lis windows, Sarah exhibits the most ornate stained glass window in the entire House. The better sort,. Next, she observed 7 horizontal squares, 7 vertical squares and 7 diagonal squares, rendering the number 777. For example, 52 x 88 = 4,576. On a superficial level, the inscription on the left is Sarahs way of saying Open Sesame to our mindsand, Welcome to my puzzle. The inscription in the right window is Sarahs way of saying Once you solve my puzzle, pass the truth on to others..

CSICOP adds there are 13 coat hooks in the seance room, 13 drains in the sinks, and 13 stars in the leadlight window Winchester herself designed. If Sarahs Spider-web is also a higher dimensional model for the structure of the universe, it is quite consistent with the fundamental workings of String Theory as 24 governs the precise number of ways the vibrating String can stretch, bend and contract. Moreover, most daisy species have 13 branches growing out of their stalks (when they mature), and they possess another remarkable featurethe head of every daisy flower forms a Fibonacci Spiral consisting of 34 tiny florets spiraling clockwise, inward, from the outer ring to the centerand, 21 florets spiraling, outward, counter-clockwise from the center to the outer ring. Moreover, Bacon applied the theme of concealment to everything he touchedincluding his own life (the same was equally true of Sarah Winchester). Later, when the English Alphabet expanded to twenty six letters, the Pythagorean (1 through 9) Table became the paradigm used by modern numerologists. However, in order to conceptualize the higher dimensional geometry of the universe, Sarah knew that we would need to step-up to a three dimensional view of the spider-web windowwhich is why the 13th bathroom has six spider-web windows. [12] The belongings in Winchester Mystery House were left to her niece, Marian I. Marriott, who auctioned off almost everything.

Her apparent motive for the move was to live in close proximity to her numerous Pardee relatives, most of whom had come to California during the 1849 Gold Rush, and were scattered from Sacramento to the Bay area. Additionally, Sarah cleverly provides subtle hints of Pans presence as we detect glimpses of his horns blending in with the Windows overall design. Sarah knew that we would notice the outside perimeters of the web (unlike the webs we observe in nature) form a four-sided squareand she has purposely embedded four pieces of glass into the outer-most edge of each of the four sides, i.e. The ark was destroyed by fire in 1929.[10]. equate to 555, another crucial Kabbalistic-Masonic number.

Sarahs Sanctum is shaped like a cube, emulating the Sanctum Sanctorum, or Holy of Holies of Solomons Temple. The property was called Llanada Villa, and would later become known as the Winchester Mystery House. Additionally, the staircase has 7 turns. The sacred knowledge of architecture was bequeathed only to the initiate who had proven to be worthy. Later, in the thirteenth century, the Italian mathematician, Leonardo Fibonacci translated Phi into real numbers. Workers have reported being touched and shoved by invisible hands, and one tour guide is even sure she's seen Sarah Winchester herself heaving a perturbed sigh after finding a tour group in her bedroom. Be aware that the window is only showing us a two dimensional view of Sarahs spider-web (to be discussed later). Sharon Springs, Schoharie County, New York 13459 .

The codes used by Bacon were generally a mixture of five different tables: Simple Cipher, Kaye Cipher, Reverse Cipher, Short Cipher and the Pythagorean Cipher. Additionally, Sarah covered the walls of her bedroom with special wallpaper displaying the Triquetra symbol. As we saw with the front wrought iron gates, we are again left with two 7s. The fact that Sarahs puzzle still stands, preserved as she left it, is a testament to her intent that someone would eventually arrive to pick up her torch. Her reason for this has to do with the fact that all Masonic initiates must enter the Lodge room through its northwest corner. 4444. Sarahs bedroom is located on the south side of the second story.

Now that weve had at look at the superficial significance of the Shakespearean windows, lets analyze the matter more deeply. Given her direct exposure to the Baconian Doctrine, along with her passion for the Shakespearean works, it was inevitable that Sarah Pardee was drawn like an irresistible force to a more than passing interest in the new theorem. "Captive of the Labyrinth: Sarah L. Winchester, Heiress to the Rifle Fortune." the 47th proposition of Euclids Elements known as the Pythagorean Theorem) and to the name Hiram (Simple Cipher). Again, Roosevelts offer was turned down. Lets take it still higher by multiplying 12 by 7 squared (49). Sarah also wants to underscore the relationship between the moons reflective light and the Astral Light AKA the Akashic record. And, if someone were to try to describe cubes, spheres and pyramids to us, we would tell them they were crazy. The most obvious Baconian devices in the Tiffany Window are Sarahs Tubal-Cain symbols. Furthermore, why would odd features built into a house confuse evil spirits? Notwithstanding their mutual love, their union was destined by numbers. The circle isnt intersected or divided, nor does it have any of the web-like characteristics we see distributed over the rest of the windows surface. 1 33 1. Request Permissions, Mark W. Grabowski, Douglas W. Owsley and Karin S. Bruwelheide. And, as we have seen, higher dimensional dynamics involve simple multiplication. The reason we know about Sarahs algorithm is because she incorporated an ingenious calculating device into the House that clearly demonstrates how higher dimensional math works. In one of the rooms, light and dark floorboards seem to change color when the sun hits them in a certain way. 12. Lets start with the allegations about Sarah and Adam Coons. The American poet Alexandra Teague's book, This page was last edited on 1 October 2022, at 17:29. At 5:12 a.m. on April 18, 1906, the San Francisco Bay Area was rocked by a major earthquake.

In fact, Escher, like Sarah, shows us seemingly impossible stairs and pillars. This is precisely the effect Sarah wanted the inscriptions to have on us. Thus, in a world governed by higher dimensional dynamics, the difference between 7 and 11 is the Fibonacci prime number 13. William died in New Haven, Connecticut, on March 7, 1881, of tuberculosis. He was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in New Haven. Note: DEATH: CAUSE tuberculosis William Wirt Winchester (1837 u 1881) was the second president of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company from 1880 to 1881. Sarah Lockwood (Pardee) Winchester of San Jose, Santa Clara County, California United States was born in 1839 in New Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut. Escher also saw the reflective images in mirrors as true representations of higher dimensional space. This legend was further exaggerated by John and Mayme Brown, theme park developers, who bought the property with the intention of turning it into an attraction. From the beginning of civilization, the geometric value of Phi (and the number 13 in particular) has been used as the basis for all great architectural endeavors. That was used as a sauna and helped her arthritis. Her father Leonard was a joiner by trade whose shrewd sense of business found him moving up the ladder of polite society as a successful carriage manufacturer.

The misinformation is further compounded by the Haunted House tour business thriving in San Jose as the commercial enterprise known as the Winchester Mystery House which profits by perpetuating the Folklore myth. Bacons dream of unlocking all of natures secrets requires our understanding of the dynamics of higher dimensional mathematics. Discover William Winchester's Biography, Age,. The novice student, called the initiate or candidate, was required to undergo a series of tests in order to prove that he was ready and worthy to advance to successively higher levels of learning. Notice that, in choosing to use these two particular lines, she is accomplishing several things on different and deeper levels. We are indebted to William Rowan Hamiltons development of Quaternions for laying down the dynamic principle governing the spider-webs intricate workings. The daisy was special to Sarah for two essential reasons. Time could speed up, slow down or stand still. Escher wrote: The spherical world cannot exist without the emptiness around it, not only, because inside presumes outside but also because in the nothing lie the, strict, geometrically determined, immaterial middle points of arcsThere is, something in such laws that takes the breath away.

There are literally miles of maze-like corridors and twisting hallways, some of which have dead endsforcing the traveler to turn around and back-up. In fact, some of Bacons engravings show him holding books with CLASPS. Naturally, when the number 7, or any variant of that number is multiplied by 777, the result (through the Winchester algorithm) will always be 444. Their only child, Annie Pardee Winchester came into the world on July 12, 1866. ages of 22 and 25 years; Agnes Carroll Wirt, youngest daughter of William Wirt, who died at age 16; and Ellen McCormick, daughter of William Wirt, whose age at the time of her death is unknown. The labyrinth was usually an underground or enclosed maze-like structure consisting of dark, winding stairs and passageways. You're probably working 40 or more hours a week just to pay your mortgage, but Winchester was financing her building project on a 50 percent stake in the company and, according to CSICOP, a daily salary of $1,000. It should also be noted that Solomons Temple had a magnificent Great Golden Window that faced north. But, the matter runs still deeper when we consider that, in showing the number twice, Sarah is also revealing a different perspective as 47 47 transforms (rotates) into 44 77and, when these two numbers combine, we have the number 121 (11 squared) which then rotates (12 + 1 = 13) into the number 13. The offer was turned down.
