Foreword

The Tragedie of Macbeth appears right before The Tragedie of Hamlet, Prince of Denmarke in the First Folio and the story-line of the two plays is closely interwoven through word/cipher play on the theme of Free Will and Conscience (personified as Lady Macbeth and Ophelia) of Man born of Spirit and Nature.

Towards the very end of his ”to-be-or-not-to-be” soliloquy, Prince highlights the theme of Conscience as follows: Thus Conscience does make Cowards of vs all, And thus the Natiue hew of Resolution Is sicklied o’re, with the pale cast of Thought, And enterprizes of great pith and moment, With this regard their Currants turne away, And loose the name of Action. The Cipher Value of this text is 119660.

As in 119660 + 4714 + 1000 + 3934 = 129308, where the three smaller Cipher Values are those of (a) the Saga poem Völuspá or Sybil’s Prophecy, (b) Light, and (c) Lady Macbeth. In her sleep-walking scene she holds a lit taper – “she ha’s light by her continually, ‘tis her command”, a Gentlewoman explains.

As shown in a recent posting, the Cipher Value 129308 is that of the text inscribed on a table below the statue of the Stratfordian in Holy Trinity Church: STAY PASSENGER WHY GOEST THOU BY SO FAST READ IF THOU CANST WHOM ENVIOUS DEATH HATH PLAST WITH IN THIS MONUMENT SHAKSPEARE: WITH WHOME QUICK NATURE DIDE WHOSE NAME DOTH DECK YS TOMBE FAR MORE THEN COST: SIEH ALL YT HE HATH WRITT LEAVES LIVING ART BUT PAGE TO SERVE HIS WITT.

¹Abomination of Desolation

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.
