Explanatory Foreword

What is The Quest of the Holy Grail?

How does it concern Anna Whateley?

Wikipedia:

Anne Whateley [read: Anna Whateley] is the name given to a woman who is sometimes supposed to have been the intended wife of William Shakespeare before he married Anne Hathaway. Most scholars believe that Whateley never existed, and that her name in a document concerning Shakespeare’s marriage is merely a clerical error.

How does this relate to the Sonnets?

The answer is in the final eight lines:

And so the Generall of hot desire,

Was sleeping by a Virgin hand disarm’d.

This brand she quenched in a coole Well by,

Which from loues fire tooke heat perpetuall,

Growing a bath and healthfull remedy,

For men diseasd, but I my Mistrisse thrall,

Came there for cure and this by that I proue,

Loues fire heates water, water cooles not loue.

* Translation:

This boy Óláfr, who is now newly baptized and specifically given to God, seems to me to bring great felicity, and I think that the Almighty has chosen him to serve as both King and Teacher of holy faith, because I have an idea that he will be my successor as highest sovereign King over Norway. And just as we have the same name, so will we have one Kingdom over this state, and that God’s Christianity, whose foundation I am laying here in Norway and in those countries that belong to this Kingdom, will be fully established with the power and will of Almighty God, because this servant of His and excellent King, Ólafr, will nevertheless suffer great adversity at the hands of his subjects and enemies, yet in such way that it will bring him victory and honor in this world and, in the other world, be a cause of joy for Almighty God.

12776 = sem hér finnst í upphafi bókar.

* Translation:

But this should now be told to young poets, who wish to learn the language of poetry and build themselves a vocabulary of ancient names or if they would like to understand things that are conveyed in hidden poetry, then they should understand this book for both knowledge and fun. But one should not forget or disprove these stories by removing from the poetry ancient kennings, which poets of first rank have been content to use. But Christian men should not believe in heathen gods and not in the truth of these stories in any way other than is found here at the book’s beginning.

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 “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.

²Jesus Patibilis

Jesus is here the god with the mission of revelation to man, a more specialized hypostasis or emanation of the Messenger, whose mission was to the captive Light in general and preceded the creation of man.  That it is he who makes Adam eat from the Tree of Knowledge explains the Christian accusation that the Manichaeans equated Christ with the serpent in Paradise.  Of the content of this revelation, the doctrine concerning “his own self cast into all things” requires comment.  It expresses the other aspect of this divine figure: in addition to being the source of all revelatory activity in the history of mankind, he is the personification of all the Light mixed into matter; that is, he is the suffering form of Primal Man.  This original and profound interpretation of the figure of Christ was an important article of the Manichaean creed and is known as the doctrine of the Jesus patibilis, the “passible Jesus” who “hangs from every tree,” “is served up bound in every dish,” “every day is born, suffers, and dies.”  He is dispersed in all creation, but his most genuine realm and embodiment seems to be the vegetable world, that is, the most passive and the only innocent form of life.  Yet at the same time with the active aspect of his nature he is transmundane Nous who, coming from above, liberates this captive substance and continually until the end of the world collects it, i.e., himself, out of the physical dispersal.  (Hans Jonas, The Gnostic Religion – The Message of the Alien God and the Beginnings of Christianity, Second Edition, revised, Beacon Press, Boston, 1963, pp. 222-229)
