Like a balanced wheel rotated evenly,

By the Love that moves the sun and the other stars.

Background

The Turtle and The Phoenix – Dante and Beatrice

The Phoenix and the Turtle is an allegorical poem about the death of ideal love by William Shakespeare. It is widely considered to be one of his most obscure works and has led to many conflicting interpretations. It has also been called „the first great published metaphysical poem“. (Wikipedia)

The allegorical aspect of The Turtle and The Phoenix, as expressed in the concept of “married chastity” in the final Threnos sectioin, is identical to that of Dante and Beatrice in Commedia and of Hamlet and Ophelia in Shakespeare’s play.

In all three instances, the aspect appears to be paradoxical when stated by Dante as follows:

Vergine Madre, figlia del tuo figlio

Virgin Mother, daughter of your son

The “Virgin” is the divine aspect of Man’s Soul. In Kabbalah, it is the final stage of the Divinity’s manifestation at the level of Man through ten so-called Sefiroths. In his To be, or not to be soliloquy, it is of his Soul’s attainment of that final stage that Prince Hamlet speaks as follows:

…to dye, to sleepe

No more; and by a sleepe, to say we end

The Heart-ake, and the thousand Naturall shockes

That Flesh is heyre too? ‘Tis a consummation

Deuoutly to be wish’d.

Such “consummation” marks an end of the “married chastity” of Turtle and Phoenix. In myth, the “event” symbolizes the fiery union of Heaven and Earth, whereby Old Heaven and Earth is reduced to “ashes” and New Heaven and Earth – Brave New World – is born.

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.

² Poem

The poetic imagery in the first two lines conveys the thought that the Poet‘s life is about to end. There follows (in loose translation):

kostaðu hug þinn herða,         – try to be brave,

hér muntu lífit verða.             – here you will die.

Skafl beygjattu, skalli,              – Don‘t cringe

þótt skúr á þik falli,                 – at some rainfall,

ást hafðir þú meyja.                – you had virgins‘ love.

Eitt sinn skal hverr deyja.      – All shall die once.
