The Beatles To Charles Manson - [2088, 261, 87]

The murders planned by Charles Manson were intended to start a race war predicted in The White Album and Book of Revelation.  The number 261 bridges The White Album's release to the murders.

Combining the reverse ordinal (204) and full reduction (57) of "The White Album" is equal to 261.

 204 + 57 = 261

Combining the reverse ordinal (209) and full reduction (52) of "Charles Manson" is equal to 261.

209 + 52 = 261

The White Album piece Manson deemed most significant was the audio collage, "Revolution 9".  Manson heard in it an audio representation of the coming conflict.

Combining the reverse ordinal (185) and full reduction (76) of "Revolution Nine" is equal to 261.

185 + 76 = 261

Manson had renamed Family member Susan Atkins "Sadie Mae Glutz" long before the release of The White Album.  The words of "Sexy Sadie" fit Atkins so well it served to reinforce the mental connection Manson felt he had with The Beatles.

Combining the reverse ordinal (208) and full reduction (53) of "Sadie Mae Glutz" is equal to 261.

208 + 53 = 261

Each calculation thus far has combined reverse ordinal with full reduction, equaling 261.

Combining the ordinal (111) and reverse full reduction (51) of "Sexy Sadie" is equal to 162 (the reflection of 261).

111 + 51 = 162

To Manson the lyrics of "Helter Skelter" signified the Family's emergence from their underground hideaway in Death Valley where they would escape the violence from the coming conflict.

Combining the reverse ordinal (193) and single reduction (68) of "Helter Skelter" is equal to 261.

193 + 68 = 261

The final night of the Manson murders occurred August 10, 1969.  From The White Album's release (November 22, 1968) to this date is 261 days.

August 10, 1969 has numerology of 87:

August 10, 1969 = 8 + 10 + 69 = 87

The largest divisor of 261 (aside from the number itself) is 87:

The White album was released in 1968 → 19 + 68 = 87

261 is formed by merging 26 and 61.  The sum of these two numbers is equal to 87 → 26 + 61 = 87

The '60s don't really start until the Kennedy assassination.  There are many indicators of this transformation.  "Within a year popular music became faster and more cacophonous.  Drugs appeared for the first time outside Bohemian ghettos.  In the mainstream, extremes of every kind came into fashion.  Revolutions in cognition and behavior were on the horizon, from The Beatles to Charles Manson, from free love to LSD."

If the Kennedy assassination marked the beginning of the cultural shift that was the sixties, the Manson murders seemed to mark the end.

From the Kennedy assassination (November 22, 1963) to the final night of the Manson murders is 2088 days.

261 is a divisor of 2088:

The night (8/10/69) of the Waverly Drive murders has numerology of 87 and 24.

8/10/69 = 8 + 10 + 69 = 87

8/10/69 = 8 + 1 + 6 + 9 = 24

The Kennedy assassination occurred [87×24] days before 8/10/69.

2088 = [87×24]

There is striking symmetry centered around the death of Kurt Cobain.

Bleach (June 15, 1989) and Nevermind (September 24, 1991) were released 831 days apart.

From Nirvana's Unplugged in New York Performance (November 18, 1993) to Kurt Cobain's death (April 5, 1994) is 138 days.

Nevermind was released on 9/24.  From the release of Nevermind to Kurt Cobain's death is 924 days.

The release date (September 24, 1991) of Nevermind has numerology identical to the gematria of the word "distortion".

September 24, 1991 = 9 + 24 + 19 + 91 = 143

September 24, 1991 = 9 + 24 + (1 + 9 + 9 + 1) = 53

Combining the ordinal (143) and full reduction (53) of "distortion" equals (7×28):

143 + 53 = 196 = (7×28)

Nevermind and In Utero (September 21, 1993) were released 728 days apart.

From the release of In Utero to Kurt Cobain's death is (7×28) days.

The single "Pennyroyal Tea was scheduled to be released April 1994, the same month Kurt Cobain's body was discovered in his home at 171 Lake Washington Blvd.

Cobain said in an interview, "The song is about a person who's beyond depressed; they're in their deathbed, pretty much."

The lyrics reference Leonard Cohen.  In Utero was released on Leonard Cohen's birthday.


"Pennyroyal Tea" = 171 (English Ordinal)

Nirvana recorded 3 studio LPs - Bleach (6/15/89), Nevermind (9/24/91)  and In Utero (9/21/93).

(6 + 15 + 89) + (9 + 24 + 91) + (9 + 21 + 93) = 357

The reverse ordinal cypher reverses the alphabetic order:

"Bleach + Nevermind + In Utero" = 357 (Reverse Ordinal)

(3×57) = 171

Bleach (June 15, 1989) was released 147 days before the fall (November 9, 1989) of the Berlin Wall.

It's release date (June 15) can be written 15/6. 

"Kurt Cobain" = 156 (Reverse Ordinal)

The date (November 9) The Berlin Wall came down can be written 9/11.

911 is the 156th prime number.

Kurt Cobain would die 147 days after the fourth anniversary (November 9, 1993) of the fall of The Berlin Wall.

"Nirvana - In Utero" = 197 (Reverse Ordinal)

197 is the 45th prime number.

The date (April 5) of Cobain's death can be written 4/5.

In Utero was released a 197 day span before Kurt Cobain's death.

Summary: 

• Bleach was released 831 days before Nevermind.  Kurt Cobain would die 138 days after Nirvana's Unplugged In New York performance.
• Nevermind was released 9/24.  Kurt Cobain died 924 days after the release of Nevermind.
• Nevermind and In Utero were released 728 days apart.  Kurt Cobain died (7×28) days after the release of In Utero.
• Bleach was released 147 days before the fall of The Berlin Wall.  Kurt Cobain would die 147 days after the 4th anniversary of the fall of The Berlin Wall.

A Moon Shaped Pool: Eclipse (69) the Third Eye (94) → 694

The number 694 links together the deaths of David Bowie, Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington.  All three deaths are related to the solar eclipse which occurred August 21, 2017.  The titles of two of the artists' final albums ('Blackstar' and 'One More Light') can refer to an eclipse.  "Black Hole Sun" by Chris Cornell's band Soundgarden begins with the words "In my eyes, indisposed."

In "Blackstar" death occurs when light is extinguished.

• David Bowie died shortly after his 69th birthday.
• Using the most basic cypher (ordinal), "Eclipse" = 69.

"David Bowie" = "Third Eye" = 94 (ordinal)

• Merging 69 and 94 forms 694.
• Chester Bennington was born March 20, 1976.  He died July 20, 2017 (the date that would have been Chris Cornell's 53rd birthday).
• He lived exactly 496 months.

The final Linkin Park album was "One More Light" (Released May 19, 2017, a day after Chris Cornell's death).

"One More Light" = 69 (Full Reduction)

May 19, 2017 is 94 days before the total solar eclipse which occurred August 21, 2017.

• Merging 69 and 94 forms 694.

Combining the reverse ordinal (364) and reverse full reduction (130) of "David Bowie + Chris Cornell" equals 494.

364 + 130 = 494

David Bowie and Chris Cornell died 494 days apart:

"Decks Dark" from 'A Moon Shaped Pool" alludes to spaceship "decks" - the deck of a ship being unmanned, dark and lifeless.  "This dread circumference" is sung.  An image of a giant spacecraft able to black out a big part of the sky and create darkness in the daytime.

The Satanic cypher is based on the alphabetic order counting up from 36 (since the 36th triangular number is 666).

A Moon Shaped Pool = 694 (Satanic) - the number formed by merging 69 and 94.

David Bowie died 119 days before the release of A Moon Shaped Pool:

Chris Cornell died 375 days after the release of A Moon Shaped Pool:

Chester Bennington died 438 days after the release of A Moon Shaped Pool:

(− 119) + 375 + 438 = 694
