Prologue

Shakespeare’s play, Richard III, opens with the title character’s soliloquy, where the bright tone of the first 13 lines is in vast contrast with the dark tone of the next 27 lines. As here construed, this serves to identify Richard III as HOMO ANATOMICUS.

The temptation of Jesus by The Devil in Matt. Ch. IV and “a kind of fighting” in his “heart” spoken of by Prince Hamlet towards the end of his play are two other instances of the psychological duality of Homo Anatomicus arising from Man as Spirit in a Material Frame.

In Saga-Shakespeare Myth, the life-course of Homo Anatomicus, 7797, is summed up in 3858 – 4000 + 4545 + 3394 = 7797, where 3858 = The Devil, – 4000 = Dark Sword, 4545 = Hjörleifr, and 3394 = Jesus.

In Saga Myth, Leifr (fosterbrother of Iceland’s first settler, Ingólfr) while on viking in Ireland enters an earthen-house which is dark until a Sword held by a Man begins to glow. Leifr kills that Man, takes the Sword and thereafter is known as Hjörleifr (Hjörr = Sword).

On return to Iceland, Hjörleifr is murdered by slaves. Shakespeare‘s play opens with the Hjörleifr/Jesus aspect of Homo Anatomicus having joyfully overcome The Devil aspect, setting the stage for murderous thoughts on the part of The Devil aspect – Richard III.

¹ In the beginning God created heaven and earth and all those things which are in them; and last of all, two of human kind, Adam and Eve, from whom the races are descended. And their offspring multiplied among themselves and were scattered throughout the earth. But as time passed, the races of men became unlike in nature: some were good and believed on the right; but many more turned after the lusts of the world and slighted God’s command. Wherefore, God drowned the world in a swelling of the sea, and all living things, save them alone that were in the ark with Noah. After Noah’s flood eight of mankind remained alive, who peopled the earth; and the races descended from them. And it was even as before: when the earth was full of folk and inhabited of many, then all the multitude of mankind began to love greed, wealth, and worldly honor, but neglected the worship of God. Now accordingly it came to so evil a pass that they would not name God; and who then could tell their sons of God’s mighty wonders? (Internet)

³ Abomination of Desolation

From message posted to friends on 26 February 2014:

While in Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson at the Cafe Milano in Reykjavík. We discussed matters of mutual interest, including what my Saga Cipher work might possibly “mean“.

I took a napkin and, for emphasis, wrote down the number 438097. This is the Cipher Sum of some three dozen names of persons, institutions, dates and events during the reference period, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith.

I told Pétur (what I had long surmised) that I believed that this number was associated with a watershed event in human history whose final phase was upon our world.

An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.
