Christmas Day

25 Desember 2017

Prologue

The Seventh Day of Creation is a past, present and future period in the passage through life of every child born into the world.  The Nativity Story is that of every such child born of the union of Man and Woman with Consciousness – a spark of Divinity whose initial  manifestation myth likens to a first-born son placed in a manger.

The Christian version of Creation Myth was set forth by Snorri Sturluson in 13th century Iceland in EDDA, based on Pythagorean imagery.  Thus the number 666 is that of Man-Beast possessed of Earthly Understanding and 432 is that of Man-Beast transformed into Right Measure of Man  upon an instantaneous manifestation in Man‘s Soul of Andlig spekðin – Spiritual Understanding.

The numbers 666 and 432 are reflected in ratios present in the architecture of all medieval European cathedrals. In Chapter 8 of the Skáldskaparmál section of Edda, where Snorri Sturluson advises “young poets” on how to interpret the poetic imagery of Christian Myth , the central point made is that such myth should not be construed literally.

Below, Chapter 8 is placed in Section # I and erstwhile ”young poet” Sturla Þórðarson’s account of Snorri Sturluson’s ”murder” in Section # II. Their respective numerical values, as calculated by converting the text into numbers by the Saga Cipher, are 197020 and 872813.  The account of the Nativity of Christ in Luke Ch. 2 (Section # III) is then shown to incorporate these numbers.

The Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges was expertly versed in what Snorri Sturluson termed “hidden poetry” – i.e. the meaning of key texts being preserved in associated Cipher Values. In Section # V – and # VI -, his essay Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote is related to the two numbers. Finally, in Section # VII – and # VIII -, the same is shown to be true for a key passage from Don Quixote, Part Two.

V. Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote

History as Mother of Truth*

(Jorge Luis Borges)

395547

28676 = Es una revelación cotejar el Don Quijote de Menard con el de Cervantes.

24627 = ejemplo y aviso de lo presente, advertencia de lo por venir—

12961 = son descaradamente pragmáticas.

395547

*It is a revelation to compare the Don Quixote of Menard with that of Cervantes.

The latter, for instance, wrote (Don Quixote, Part One, Chapter Nine):

…truth, whose mother is history, who is the rival of time, depository of deeds,

witness of the past, example and lesson to the present, and warning to the future.

Written in the seventeenth century, written by the „ingenious layman“ Cervantes,

this enumeration is a mere rhetorical eulogy of history. Menard, on the other hand,

wrote:

*It is a revelation to compare the Don Quixote of Menard with that of Cervantes.

The latter, for instance, wrote (Don Quixote, Part One, Chapter Nine):

…truth, whose mother is history, who is the rival of time, depository of deeds,

witness of the past, example and lesson to the present, and warning to the future.

History, Mother of truth; the idea is astounding. Menard, a contemporary of

William James, does not define history as an investigation of reality, but as its

origin. Historical truth, for him, is not what took place; it is what we think

took place. The final clause – example and lesson to the present, and warning

to the future – are shamelessly pragmatic.

21138 = in the antecedent chapter happened so punctually

15049 = to the valorous Don Quixote;

9874 = as being so unreasonable:

17721 = yet to think Don Quixote would lie,

¹A New Breed of Men Sent Down from Heaven

Now the last age by Cumae’s Sibyl sung has come and gone, and the majestic roll of circling centuries begins anew: justice returns, returns old Saturn’s reign, with a new breed of men send down from heaven.  Only do thou, at the boy’s birth in whom the iron shall cease, the golden race arise, befriend him, chaste Lucina; ‘tis thine own Apollo reigns.  And in thy consulate, this glorious age, O Pollio, shall begin, and the months enter on their mighty march.  Under thy guidance, whatso tracks remain of our old wickedness, once done away, shall free the earth from never-ceasing fear.  He shall receive the life of gods, and see heroes with gods commingling, and himself be seen of them, and with his father’s worth reign o’er a world of peace.
