¹Message posted to friends, 26 February 2014:
While visiting Iceland last August, I met with Pétur Halldórsson over coffee 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, which I have posted [previously].
This is the final cumulative sum of a very large number of [contemporary] names of individuals, institutions, dates and events, including two famous murder cases, a sex scandal in high places, and presumptive lies told in connection therewith. As I recall it, I first put this number on record in an [earlier] message, explaining that I would not be providing any further details on it. That remains my position for the time being.
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.
²And now the measure of my song is done: The work has reached its end; the book is mine, None shall unwrite these words: nor angry Jove, Nor war, nor fire, nor flood, Nor venomous time that eats our lives away. Then let that morning come, as come it will, When this disguise I carry shall be no more, And all the treacherous years of life undone, And yet my name shall rise to heavenly music, The deathless music of the circling stars. As long as Rome is the Eternal City These lines shall echo from the lips of men, As long as poetry speaks truth on earth, That immortality is mine to wear. [Ego vivam = I am alive.]
