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.

144309

How strange are the manuscripts of this Friend, great traveller of the unknown,

they appeared to me separately, yet they form a whole for him who knows that

the colours of the rainbow give a white unity, or for the Artist for whom the black

springs out from under his paintbrush, made from the six colours of his magic palette.

# 2  Pisces

  16136 = Cet Ami, comment vous le présenter ?

This Friend, how to introduce him to you?  His name remained a mystery,

but his number is that of a famous seal.  How to describe him to you?

Perhaps like the pilot of the indestructible ark, impassive like a column

on his white rock scanning towards the south beyond the black rock.

# 3 Aries

23983 = Dans mon pélérinage eprouvant, je tentais de me frayer à l’epée

133711

During my testing pilgrimage I tried to clear a path with the sword, cossing

the inextricable vegetation of the woods, I wanted to reach the residence of

the sleeping BEAUTY in whom certain poets saw the QUEEN of a past realm.

In desperation of finding my way again the parchments of this Friend were

for me, the thread of Ariadne.

# 4  Taurus

  22275 = Grâce à lui, désormais à pas mesurés et d’un oeil sur,

35144 = je puis decouvrir les soixante-quatre pierres dispersées du cube parfait

Thanks to him, from now on by measured steps and a sure eye, I can discover the sixty-four

dispersed stones of the perfect cube that the brothers of the BEAUTY of the black wood

escaping in the pursuit of the usurpers, had scattered on their way whilst they fled from the white Fort.

15148 = Le cercle étant l’anneau et couronne,

  15429 = et lui le diadème de cette REINE du Castel.

171336           

To reassemble the scattered stones, work with the square and compass to put them

back in regular order, look for the line of the meridian in going from the East to the

West, then looking from the South to the North, finally in all directions to obtain the

desired solution, stopping in front of the fourteen stones with a cross.  The circle

being the ring and the crown, and to him the diadem of this QUEEN of Castel.

211022

The stones of the mosaic paving of the sacred place could be alternatively black or white,

and JESUS like ASMODEUS, observing their alignment, my view seems incapable of

seeing the summit where the marvellous sleeping one remained hidden.  Not being

HERCULES with magic power, how to decode the mysterious symbols carved by the

observers of the past.  In the sanctuary however the stoup, fountain of love of the believers,

reminds us of these words: BY THIS SIGN YOU SHALL CONQUER.

# 7 Leo

  26660 = Les initiés savent son nom véritable:  NOTRE DAME DES CROSS.

165412

From her that I wanted to free, rose towards me the emanations of perfume which

permeate the sepulchre. Once some called her: ISIS, queen of the beneficent springs,

COME TO ME ALL YOU WHO SUFFER AND WHO ARE OVERWHELMED

AND I WILL COMFORT YOU, otherwise: MADELEINE, with the famous vase

full of healing balm. The initiates know the true name: NOTRE DAME DES CROSS.

# 8 Virgo

14815 = Deux fois IS, embaumeuse et embaumée,

  18313 = vase miracle de l’éternelle Dame Blanche des Légendes.

275473

I was like the shepherds of the famous painter POUSSIN, confused in front of  the

enigma: “ET IN ARCADIA EGO…”! The voice of the blood [race] would it show

me the image of an ancestral past. Yes, the light of the genius crossed my mind.

I saw again, I understood! I knew now this fabulous secret. And marvellous, when

from the leaps of the four horsemen, the shoes of one horse had left four imprints

on the rock, here is the sign which DELACROIX had given in one of three pictures

from the chapel of Angels. Here is the seventh sentence which a hand had traced:

DELIVER ME FROM THE MIRE, SO THAT I DO NOT STAY THERE SINKING.

Two times IS, embalmer and embalmed, miraculous vase of the eternal White Lady

of Legends.

# 9 Libra

  11067 = Commencé dans les ténèbres,

14300 = Me voici donc à mon tour cavalier

  18542 = sur le coursier divin chevauchant l’abîme.

167450

Started in the shadows, my journey could only be finished in light. At the window

of the ruined house I gazed across the trees stripped by autumn to the summit of the

mountain. The cross of crete stood out under the midday sun, it was the fourteenth

and the biggest of all with its 35 centimetres! Here I am therefore on my horse ride

[tour] on a divine steed crossing the abyss.

# 10 Scorpio

  21561 = Vision céleste pour celui qui me souvient

27435 = des quatres oeuvres de Em. SIGNOL autour de la ligne du Méridien,

  16015 = édifié par les enfants de Saint VINCENT.

378071

Celestial vision for him who remembers the four works of Em. SIGNOL around

the Meridian line, to the choir itself from the sanctuary from which beams this

source of love from one to another, I turn around passing the site of the rose of

the P to that of the S, then from the S to the P … and the spiral in my mind

becoming like a monstrous octopus expelling its ink, the shadows obscure the light,

I am dizzy and I hold my hand to my mouth biting instinctively my palm,

perhaps like OLIER in his coffin. Curses, I understand the truth, HE IS GONE,

but to him too in doing THE GOOD, like HIM of the flowery tomb. But how many

have sacked the HOUSE, leaving only the embalmed corpses and numerous metal

objects which they could not carry? What strange mystery conceals the new temple

of SOLOMON built by the children of Saint VINCENT?

Background

Cocteau and Prieuré de Sion

Cocteau was the 26th Grand Master of Prieuré de Sion, a mysterious order said to have been established in Jerusalem in 1099 A.D. The Prieuré de Sion attracted world-wide attention with the publication in 1982 of a book by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln entitled The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. Earlier Grand Masters included Léonard da Vinci and Isaac Newton, with Victor Hugo, Claude Debussy and Jean Cocteau, serving in that position from 1844 to 1963.

Cocteau on (Hidden) Poetry

(Internet)

”My work is the result of serious considerations which consist of turning ciphers into numbers.“

”Every poem is a coat of arms. It must be deciphered.“

”The poet, by composing poems, uses a language that is neither dead nor living, that few people speak, and few people understand … We are the servants of an unknown force that lives within us, and dictates this language to us.“ http://quintessentialpublications.com/twyman/?page_id=26

Comment

I take Cocteau‘s “unknown force“ to be Our Ever-living Poet of Shakespeare‘s Sonnets, a.k.a. Cosmic Consciousness or God With Us (Matt. 1:23).

IV. Victor Hugo‘s Love Poem

In these hours of waiting what did they do?  This we have to tell, for this is history. While the men were making cartridges and the women lint, while a large pot, full of melted pewter and lead destined for the bullet mold was smoking over a hot stove, while the lookouts were watching the barricades with weapons in hand, while Enjolras, whom nothing could distract, was watching the lookouts, Combeferre, Courfeyrac, Jean Prouvaire, Feuilly, Bossuet, Joly, Bahorel, a few others besides, sought each other out and got together, as in the most peaceful days of their student conversations, and in a corner of this bistro turned into a pillbox, within two steps of the redoubt they had thrown up, their carbines primed and loaded resting on the backs of their chairs, these gallant young men, so near their last hour, began to recite a love poem. What poem?  Here it is [translation²]:

The Revelation of Saint John the Divine has only twenty-two chapters, and ends with the dire warning that, “…if any man shall add or remove an iota of the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” A similar line occurs in the poem Le Serpent Rouge, which was one of the original “Priory of Sion documents” and which may have been written secretly by Jean Cocteau. The line reads, “Take heed, dear Friend. Do not add or remove one iota; think and think again. The base lead of my writing contains the purest gold.” http://quintessentialpublications.com/twyman/?page_id=26

Cursing the profaners in their ashes and those who live in their tracks, leaving the abyss where I was plunged in finishing the gesture of horror: “Here is the proof that I knew the secret of the Seal of SOLOMON, that of this QUEEN I have visited the hidden residences”. To this, Dear Reader, be careful not to add or remove an iota… meditate, meditate again, the vile lead of my writing contains perhaps the purest gold.”

Afterwards my trouble persisting, I wanted after reflection to tell you a story by PERRAULT. Here then, Dear Reader, in the pages which follow the result of a dream having soothed me into the world of the strange and unknown. GOOD comes to him THAT DOES GOOD.

¹ This chapter tells of Snorri Sturluson, having spent two years with the King and principal Earl of Norway. In spring, when Snorri was planning to sail for Iceland, the King and Earl had become great enemies of Icelanders because of robberies committed by them and it had been decided to send armed forces to deal with the situation in the summer. Most of the wiser men were opposed to the idea, and a poet expressed concern about it in a poem.

Snorri strongly discouraged it and advised that he should become friends with the best men in Iceland and said that he would soon be able to apply his words such that people would find it advisable to turn obedient towards the principals of Norway. [Insert: In the context, Norway is the world above.  The Earl was persuaded by his words and proposed that Icelanders should ask King Hákon not to send armed forces to deal with the situation.

The King was young at the time but his adviser, lawman Dagfinnr, was a great friend of Icelanders. And the King decided against an armed expedition to Iceland.  King Hákon and Earl Skúli conferred honors on Snorri, but he undertook to seek to persuade Icelanders to become obedient to the King and Earl of Norway. The undertaking was to be sealed with Snorri sending his son ION as hostage to the Earl to ensure that the matter would end as had been discussed.

²The Love Song

Do you remember our sweet life

When were so young, we two,

And had in our hearts no other desire

Than to be well dressed and be in love.

When by adding your age to mine,

We couldn’t reach forty years between us,

And, in our humble little home,

Everything, even in winter, seemed spring?

Beautiful days!  Manuel was proud and wise,

Paris sat down to incredible banquets,

Foy was waxing eloquent, and your blouse

Had a pin that pricked me.

Everyone gazed at you.  A lawyer without a case,

When I took you to The Prado for dinner,

You were so pretty that the roses

Seemed to turn away.

I heard them say: Isn’t she beautiful!

How lovely she smells!  What flowing hair!

Under her cape she’s hiding wings;

Her charming hat has scarcely bloomed.

I wandered with you, squeezing your lissome arm.

People passing thought that charmed love

Had married in us, the happy couple,

The sweet month of April with the handsome month of May.

We lived hidden away, happy, the door closed,

Devouring love, good forbidden fruit;

My mouth had not said one thing

When already your heart had answered.

The Sorbonne was the bucolic spot

Where I adored you from dusk to dawn.

That is how a loving soul applies

The map of Tenderness to the Quartier Latin.

O Place Maubert!  O Place Dauphine!

When, in the meager springlike room,

You drew your stocking up over your slim leg,

I saw a star in a garret nook.

I’ve read a lot of Plato, but remember nothing

Better than Malebranche and Lammenais;

You showed me celestial kindness

With the flower you gave me.

I obeyed you, you were in my power.

O gilded garret!  To lace you up!  To see you

Coming and going from daybreak in a chemise,

Gazing at your young forehead in your old mirror!

And who could ever lose the memory

Of those times of dawn and sky,

Of ribbons, of flowers, of muslin and watered silk,

When love stammers a charmed argot?

Our gardens were a pot of tulips;

You screened the window with your slip;

I would take the pipe clay bowl,

And I gave you the porcelain cup.

And those great calamities that made us laugh!

Your muff burnt, your boa lost!

And that beloved portrait of the divine Shakespeare

That we sold one evening for our supper!

I was a beggar, and you charitable;

I gave fleeting kisses to your cool round arms.

Dante in-folio was our table

For gaily consuming a hundred chestnuts.

The first time, in my joyful hovel,

I stole a kiss from your fiery lips,

When you went off disheveled and pink,

I stayed there pale and believed in God!

Do you remember our countless joys,

And all those shawls turned to rags?

Oh!  From our shadow-filled hearts what sighs

Flew off into the limitless skies!

¹The Once And Future King

(Giorgio de Santillana)

This is meant to be only an essay.  It is a first reconnaissance of a realm well-nigh unexplored and uncharted.  From whichever way one enters it, one is caught in the same bewildering circular complexity, as in a labyrinth, for it has no deductive order in the abstract sense, but instead resembles an organism tightly closed in itself, or even better, a monumental „Art of the Fugue.“

The figure of Hamlet as a favorable starting point came by chance.  Many other avenues offered themselves, rich in strange symbols and beckoning with great images, but the choice went to Hamlet because he led the mind on a truly inductive quest through a familiar landscape – and one which has the merit of its literary setting.  Here is a character deeply present to our awareness, in whom ambiguities and uncertainties, tormented self-questioning and dispassionate insight give a presentiment of the modern mind.  His personal drama was that he had to be a hero, but still try to avoid the role Destiny assigned him.  His lucid intellect remained above the conflict of motives – in other words, his was and is a truly contemporary consciousness.  And yet this character whom the poet made one of us, the first unhappy intellectual, concealed a past as a legendary being, his features predetermined, preshaped by long-standing myth.  There was a numinous aura around him, and many clues led up to him.  But it was a surprise to find behind the mask an ancient and all-embracing cosmic power – the original master of the dreamed-of first age of the world.

Yet in all his guises he remained strangely himself.  The original Amlóði, as his name was in Icelandic legend, shows the same characteristics of melancholy and high intellect.  He, too, is a son dedicated to avenge his father, a speaker of cryptic but inescapable truths, an elusive carrier of Fate who must yield once his mission is accomplished and sink once more into concealment in the depths of time to which he belongs:  Lord of the Golden Age, the Once and Future King.

This essay will follow the figure farther and farther afield, from the Northland to Rome, from there to Finland, Iran, and India; he will appear again unmistakably in Polynesian legend.  Many other Dominions and Powers will materialize to frame him within the proper order.

Amlóði was identified, in the crude and vivid imagery of the Norse, by the ownership of a fabled mill which, in his own time, ground out peace and plenty.  Later, in decaying times, it ground out salt; and now finally, having landed at the bottom of the sea, it is grinding rock and sand, creating a vast whirlpool, the Maelstrom (i.e. the grinding stream, from the [Icelandic] verb mala, „to grind“), which is supposed to be a way to the land of the dead.  This imagery stands, as the evidence develops, for an astronomical process, the secular shifting of the sun through the signs of the zodiac which determines world-ages, each numbering thousands of years.  Each age brings a World Era, a Twilight of the Gods.  Great structures collapse; pillars topple which supported the great fabric; floods and cataclysms herald the shaping of a new world. (Hamlet’s Mill – An Essay on Myth and the Frame of Time, 1969; Second Paperback Edition, David R. Godine, Publisher, Boston, 1983, pp. 1-2.)

²Abomination 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.

³ Marlowe – The first modern atheist.

Wikipedia: It was in the Theatre of Judgement that first appeared an account of Christopher Marlowe’s death; Beard takes Marlowe to be the first modern atheist.

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 Translation

(Internet)

„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.

Foreword

Ben Jonson’s final resting place is a 2×2 feet grave in Westminster Abbay where his body was buried standing upright. In the context of ancient creation myth, this serves to identify Ben with MAN which is the HEATHEN term for the procreative tool of Cosmic Creative Power – PENIS. A tool that rises, shakes and dies “standing upright” and is referred to early in Ben Jonson’s First Folio Commendatory Ode:

My Shakespeare rise! 

The inscription “error” on his gravestone – O RARE BEN JOHNSON – serves to signal POET Ben Jonson’s alter ego as POET-APE – a point alluded to by T. S. Eliot through the chaotic structure of his poem, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock (more on that presently). The relationship between Ben Jonson’s alter ego as mythical MAN that becomes WISER in Death or FRÓÐARI in the Icelandic Gylfaginning is as follows:

¹Thereupon Gangleri heard great noises on every side of him; and then, when he had looked about him more, lo, he stood out of doors on a level plain, and saw no hall there and no castle. Then he went his way forth and came home into his kingdom, and told those tidings which he had seen and heard; and after him each man told these tales to the other. http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/pre/pre04.htm

²Then spake Gangleri: „Shall any of the gods live then, or shall there be then any earth or heaven?“ Hárr answered: „In that time the earth shall emerge out of the sea, and shall then be green and fair; then shall the fruits of it be brought forth unsown. Vídarr and Váli shall be living, inasmuch as neither sea nor the fire of Surtr shall have harmed them; and they shall dwell at Ida-Plain, where Ásgard was before. And then the sons of Thor, Módi and Magni, shall come there, and they shall have Mjöllnir there. After that Baldr shall come thither, and Hödr, from Hel; then all shall sit down together and hold speech. with one another, and call to mind their secret wisdom, and speak of those happenings which have been before: of the Midgard Serpent and of Fenris-Wolf. Then they shall find in the grass those golden chess-pieces which the Æsir had had; thus is it said:

In the deities’ shrines | shall dwell Vídarr and Váli,
When the Fire of Surtr is slackened;
Módi and Magni | shall have Mjöllnir
At the ceasing of Thor’s strife.

In the place called Hoddmímir’s Holt there shall lie hidden during the Fire of Surtr two of mankind, who are called thus: Líf and Lífthrasir, and for food they shall have the morning-dews. From these folk shall come so numerous an offspring that all the world shall be peopled, even as is said here:

Líf and Lífthrasir, | these shall lurk hidden
In the Holt of Hoddmímir;
The morning dews | their meat shall be;
Thence are gendered the generations.

And it may seem wonderful to thee, that the sun shall have borne a daughter not less fair than herself; and the daughter shall then tread in the steps of her mother, as is said here:

The Elfin-beam | shall bear a daughter,
Ere Fenris drags her forth;
That maid shall go, | when the great gods die,
To ride her mother’s road.

But now, if thou art able to ask yet further, then indeed I know not whence answer shall come to thee, for I never heard any man tell forth at greater length the course of the world; and now avail thyself of that which thou hast heard.“

³Also numbered among the Æsir is he whom some call the mischief-monger of the Æsir, and the first father of falsehoods, and blemish of all gods and men: he is named Loki or Loptr, son of Fárbauti the giant; his mother was Laufey or Nál; his brothers are Býleistr and Helblindi. Loki is beautiful and comely to look upon, evil in spirit., very fickle in habit. He surpassed other men in that wisdom which is called ‘sleight,’ and had artifices for all occasions; he would ever bring the Æsir into great hardships, and then get them out with crafty counsel. His wife was called Sigyn, their son Nari or Narfi.

⁴Abomination 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.

Scialetheia – A Shadow of Truth

(Robert Payne)

In 1598 an unknown author of considerable talent and great charm wrote a series of satires, which he called Scialetheia, or A Shadow of Truth.  In his snapdragon verses he described the vanity of the times.  Staying late after the play at the Curtain, he had the wit to see that the dark theatre, vast and secret, represented something unfathomably precious. (By Me, William Shakespeare, 1980, p. 75)
