"How W.D. Gann Has Influenced My Life"

"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding."

Proverbs, but also the first line from a book Tunnel Thru The Air or Looking Back From 1940, by a man named W. D. Gann. At one particular moment I was quite sure this man had entered my life with one and only one purpose and that was to destroy it!! Now, in my looking back from 1995, I consider W. D. Gann to be one of my closest associates and the greatest man that ever walked Wall Street.

Twenty years... to look at twenty years on a chart it doesn't seem like that is a great amount of time, but as always I'm getting ahead of myself. My name is Nikki Jones and even though Mr. WD Gann has influenced my life profoundly, it has only been the last two years I have been willing to share him with the world.

What makes a man remembered? Certainly not the shallow trends of today, measured in appearance and fashion, but usually someone that encourages a scientific view of certain propositions that are not usually welcomed by the majority. We cannot divorce what we produce from what we are. This is the very reason W. D. Gann will be remembered and carried into history forever, as he was of the great men in his time that stimulated thought and insisted upon research.

Our technology reflects disharmony with natural laws because we ourselves are not in harmony with natural laws. The technology I see today merely reflects our own neuroses; our own drive for power; distorted behaviour patterns; violence-directed mechanisms on one hand; frantic overproduction on the other. We need to see the logic of order, in man and in nature, for ourselves and for our world. This is one of the many hidden messages Mr. Gann has left for posterity to find.

Science now tells us it cannot separate the reality of the environment from the reality of our experiences. It goes so far in fact to say there is no such thing as separateness from anything. If we create that separateness we destroy ourselves and the environment. Now how does this all fit together in the world we live in today? The same as it did for W. D. Gann. Life with all it's problems and challenges of today really isn't all different than in the life and times of W. D. Gann.

"How" we ask "can I manage my life, family and follow a career that only gives me probabilities?"

In my research of W. D. Gann another familiar line surfaces. "Ask and you shall receive." It is a careful blending of time and energy. This was one of the many things discovered by Mr Gann and it holds true for each and everyone of us because it is natural law. This is and always has been here for any of us that has an open mind and heart to learn. W. D. Gann was one of the great teachers put on this earth. He has left us with the opportunities to combine circumstances, such as market trading, to open the doors of life.

Market charting is only a picture of the past. This is why in "Form Reading" found on page 29 of How To Make Profits in Commodities, Mr. Gann states, "One picture is worth a thousand words".

History does repeat. Greed and desire for large gains do not change. They are inherent elements of human nature and it is the human element that beats the average man and causes losses in business investment or speculation. This is the very reason we must be aware of the delicate balance of time and energy. This is one of the valuable lessons I have learned from Mr. Gann. We all walk separate paths and one should start with oneself but never end with oneself.

I am looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you at a future date, sharing my stories, facts and questions with you. Until then, take care and God bless.
