Prologue

Dan., KJB 1611

12:1

And at that time shall Michael stand vp, the great Prince which standeth for the children of thy people, and there shalbe a time of trouble, such as neuer was since there was a nation, euen to that same time: and at that time thy people shalbe deliuered, euery one that shalbe found written in the booke.

12:2

And many of them that sleepe in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to euerlasting life, and some to shame and euerlasting contempt.

12:3

And they that be wise shall shine as the brightnesse of the firmament, and they that turne many to righteousnesse, as the starres for euer and euer.

12:4

But thou, O Daniel, shut vp the wordes, and seale the booke euen to the time of the ende: many shall runne to and fro, and knowledge shall bee increased.

I. Snorri Sturluson’s Advice to Young Poets

(Edda, Skáldskaparmál, Ch. 8)

197920

16349 = En þetta er nú at segja ungum skáldum,

15868 = þeim er girnast at nema mál skáldskapar

16723 = ok heyja sér orðfjölða með fornum heitum

15251 = eða girnast þeir at kunna skilja þat,

17985 = at taka ór skáldskapinum fornar kenningar,

17358 = ok eigi á sannyndi þessa sagna annan veg en svá

12776 = sem hér finnst í upphafi bókar.*

197920

* But now one thing must be said to young skalds, to such as yearn to attain to the craft of poesy and to increase their store of figures with traditional metaphors; or to those who crave to acquire the faculty of discerning what is said in hidden phrase: let such an one, then, interpret this book to his instruction and pleasure. Yet one is not so to forget or discredit these traditions as to remove from poesy those ancient metaphors with which it has pleased Chief Skalds to be content; nor, on the other hand, ought Christian men to believe in heathen gods, nor in the truth of these tales otherwise than precisely as one may find here in the beginning of the book.

II. Myth as Mnemonic Device

**Wherefore, not only to tell of this fittingly, but also that they might fasten it in memory, they gave names out of their own minds to all things. This belief of theirs has changed in many ways, according as the peoples drifted asunder and their tongues became severed one from another. But all things they discerned with earthly understanding, for spiritual wisdom was not given to them; thus they perceived, that all things were fashioned of some material.

III. Myth as Mnemonic Device for Future Ages

*But the Æsir sat them down to speak together, and took counsel and recalled all these tales which had been told to him. And they gave these same names that were named before to those men and places that were there, to the end that when long ages should have passed away, men should not doubt thereof, that those Æsir that were but now spoken of, and these to whom the same names were then given, were all one. There Thor was so named, and he is the old Ása-Thor.

Like a balanced wheel rotated evenly,

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

VII. Sir Thomas More – Utopia

¹Platonic Construction of Saga-Shakespeare Myth

7 February 2018

Background

The Same and The Other

The astronomy of Plato is based on the two principles of the same and the other, which God combined in the creation of the world. The soul, which is compounded of the same, the other, and the essence, is diffused from the centre to the circumference of the heavens. We speak of a soul of the universe; but more truly regarded, the universe of the Timaeus is a soul, governed by mind, and holding in solution a residuum of matter or evil, which the author of the world is unable to expel, and of which Plato cannot tell us the origin. The creation, in Plato’s sense, is really the creation of order; and the first step in giving order is the division of the heavens into an inner and outer circle of the other and the same, of the divisible and the indivisible, answering to the two spheres, of the planets and of the world beyond them, all together moving around the earth, which is their centre.

Three Parts of Man‘s Soul

The soul of man is divided by [Plato] into three parts […] First, there is the immortal nature of which the brain is the seat, and which is akin to the soul of the universe. This alone thinks and knows and is the ruler of the whole. Secondly, there is the higher mortal soul which, though liable to perturbations of her own, takes the side of reason against the lower appetites. The seat of this is the heart, in which courage, anger, and all the nobler affections are supposed to reside. There the veins all meet; it is their centre or house of guard whence they carry the orders of the thinking being to the extremities of his kingdom. There is also a third or appetitive soul, which receives the commands of the immortal part, not immediately but mediately, through the liver, which reflects on its surface the admonitions and threats of the reason.

Working Hypothesis

Three Parts of the Soul = Three Values of π

3.141 5926 = Mathematical π

3.142 8571 = 22/7

3.160 4938 = 256/81

Definitions

The Same = 28878

3141 + 5926 + 3142 + 8571 + 3160 + 4938 = 28878

The Other = 20886

1413 + 6295 + 2413 + 1758 + 0613 + 8394 = 20886
