(Wikipedia)

Benjamin Jowett [1817-1893] was renowned as an influential tutor and administrative reformer in the University of Oxford, a theologian and translator of Plato and Thucydides. He was Master of Balliol College, Oxford.

Quotes:

Never retreat. Never explain. Get it done and let them howl.

You must believe in God, in spite of what the clergy say.

Logic is neither a science nor an art, but a dodge.

I. Timaeus – Alpha

1904387

Socrates.

30293 = One, two, three; but where, my dear Timaeus, is the fourth of those

29430 = who were yesterday my guests and are to be my entertainers to-day?

Timaeus.

11711 = He has been taken ill, Socrates;

28902 = for he would not willingly have been absent from this gathering.

Socrates

32750 = Then, if he is not coming, you and the two others must supply his place.

Timaeus

18219 = Certainly, and we will do all that we can;

20387 = having been handsomely entertained by you yesterday,

36009 = those of us who remain should be only too glad to return your hospitality.

Socrates

33880 = Do you remember what were the points of which I required you to speak?

Timaeus

10992 = We remember some of them,

31767 = and you will be here to remind us of anything which we have forgotten:

37800 = or rather, if we are not troubling you, will you briefly recapitulate the whole,

29982 = and then the particulars will be more firmly fixed in our memories?

Socrates

8577 = To be sure I will:

25625 = the chief theme of my yesterday’s discourse was the State-

25886 = how constituted and of what citizens composed it

17230 = would seem likely to be most perfect.

Timaeus

29958 = Yes, Socrates; and what you said of it was very much to our mind.

Socrates

25513 = Did we not begin by separating the husbandmen and the artisans

16818 = from the class of defenders of the State?

Timaeus

1549 = Yes.

Socrates

23946 = And when we had given to each one that single employment

25285 = and particular art which was suited to his nature,

29343 = we spoke of those who were intended to be our warriors,

27955 = and said that they were to be guardians of the city against attacks

20458 = from within as well as from without,

13617 = and to have no other employment;

23149 = they were to be merciful in judging their subjects,

17101 = of whom they were by nature friends,

27836 = but fierce to their enemies, when they came across them in battle.

Timaeus

3620 = Exactly.

Socrates

26295 = We said, if I am not mistaken, that the guardians should be gifted

29161 = with a temperament in a high degree both passionate and philosophical;

19871 = and that then they would be as they ought to be,

23396 = gentle to their friends and fierce with their enemies.

Timaeus

4417 = Certainly.

Socrates

16751 = And what did we say of their education?

22219 = Were they not to be trained in gymnastic, and music,

29613 = and all other sorts of knowledge which were proper for them?

Timaeus

5344 = Very true.

Socrates

29091 = And being thus trained they were not to consider gold or silver

24195 = or anything else to be their own private property;

28044 = they were to be like hired troops, receiving pay for keeping guard

19250 = from those who were protected by them-

29446 = the pay was to be no more than would suffice for men of simple life;

23634 = and they were to spend in common, and to live together

35958 = in the continual practice of virtue, which was to be their sole pursuit.

Timaeus

8914 = That was also said.

Socrates

15237 = Neither did we forget the women;

27991 = of whom we declared, that their natures should be assimilated

21596 = and brought into harmony with those of the men,

24369 = and that common pursuits should be assigned to them

19019 = both in time of war and in their ordinary life.

Timaeus

11024 = That, again, was as you say.

Socrates

19239 = And what about the procreation of children?

27508 = Or rather not the proposal too singular to be forgotten?

21225 = for all wives and children were to be in common,

27943 = to the intent that no one should ever know his own child,

23499 = but they were to imagine that they were all one family;

38280 = those who were within a suitable limit of age were to be brothers and sisters,

28872 = those who were of an elder generation parents and grandparents,

19019 = and those of a younger children and grandchildren.

Timaeus

21372 = Yes, and the proposal is easy to remember, as you say.

Socrates

12379 = And do you also remember how,

26140 = with a view of securing as far as we could the best breed,

19529 = we said that the chief magistrates, male and female,

24665 = should contrive secretly, by the use of certain lots,

14942 = so to arrange the nuptial meeting,

33270 = that the bad of either sex and the good of either sex might pair with their like;

23376 = and there was to be no quarrelling on this account,

25635 = for they would imagine that the union was a mere accident,

16464 = and was to be attributed to the lot?

Timaeus

3951 = I remember.

Socrates

13106 = And you remember how we said

24356 = that the children of the good parents were to be educated,

30917 = and the children of the bad secretly dispersed among the inferior citizens;

35570 = and while they were all growing up the rulers were to be on the look-out,

33376 = and to bring up from below in their turn those who were worthy,

24619 = and those among themselves who were unworthy

20677 = were to take the places of those who came up?

Timaeus

2921 = True.

Socrates

31115 = Then have I now given you all the heads of our yesterday’s discussion?

27600 = Or is there anything more, my dear Timaeus, which has been omitted?

Timaeus

8793 = Nothing, Socrates;

13656 = it was just as you have said.

1904437

II. Timaeus – Omega

143553

                Timaeus

36318 = We may now say that our discourse about the nature of the universe has an end.

34283 = The world has received animals, mortal and immortal, and is fulfilled with them,

20294 = and has become a visible animal containing the visible

22725 = — the sensible God who is the image of the intellectual,

18396 = the greatest, best, fairest, most perfect –

  11537 = the one only begotten heaven.

143553

I + II = 1904437 + 143553 = 2047990

III + IV = 1927965 + 120025 = 2047990¹

II. In these hours of waiting what did they do?

(Les Misérables, Book Twelve, Ch. VI.)

1137923

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.

Abomination of Desolation

(Contemporary history)

438097

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 possibly “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.

 ¹ Part I, Book I, Ch. I. Translation: Nottingham Society. 1907.

Let us return to Marine Terrace.

One morning at the end of November, two of the inhabitants of the place, the father and the youngest of the sons, were seated in the lower parlour. They were silent, like shipwrecked ones who meditate. Without, it rained; the wind blew. The house was as if deafened by the outer roaring. Both went on thinking, absorbed perhaps by this coincidence between a beginning of winter and a beginning of exile.

All at once the son raised his voice and asked the father —

„What thinkest thou of this exile?“

„That it will be long.“

„How dost thou reckon to fill it up?“

The father answered —

„I shall look on the ocean.“

There was a silence. The father resumed the conversation:–

„And you?“

„I,“ said the son, — „I shall translate Shakespeare.“

² The Love Poem

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!

16 January 2016

Update 23 August 2016.

Introduction

A close friend of my parents [Guido Bernhöft] was a very senior member of the Masonic Order in Iceland. I once told him briefly about my work on Creation Myth aspects of the Augustan-Saga-Shakespeare Authors of Rome in the 1st century B.C., 13th century Iceland and Shakespearean England. On one occasion I told him briefly about my research and noted that certain aspects of Mozart’s opera, The Magic Flute, struck me as familiar in that respect. He then said something to the effect that “it is all there”.

Today, some 30 years later, it occurred to me to check out the final, climactic scene of The Magic Flute for possible evidence of enciphered “hidden poetry” on the essential themes of ancient Creation Myth. In the Augustan-Saga-Shakespeare tradition, key aspects of such “poetry” are typically enciphered at Alpha and Omega of complete texts on such themes.

The final scene is in two parts, with the action moving into the Temple of the Sun after the Three Ladies and Monostatos agree “to surprise them [and] wipe the bigots from the face of the earth with burning fire and strong sword”. They then make “an offering of their vengeance” to the Queen of the Night amidst “thunder, lightning, tempest” – and all of a sudden the “strength [of the forces of the Night] is shattered, destroyed, [and they] are all plunged into eternal night” – and disappear.

Just keep quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet!

Soon we shall be making our way into the temple.

But, Sovereign Lady, keep your word! Fulfil …

Your daughter must be my wife.

QUEEN OF THE NIGHT

I’ll keep my word! It is my will.

My daughter shall be your wife.

THE THREE LADIES

Her child shall be your wife.

MONOSTATOS

Quiet though! I hear a terrible roaring,

like the sound of thunder and a waterfall.

QUEEN OF THE NIGHT, THE THREE LADIES

Yes, this roaring is terrible,

like the echo of distant thunder.

MONOSTATOS

Now they are in the temple halls,

ALL

There let us surprise them,

wipe the bigots from the face of the earth

with burning fire and strong sword.

THE THREE LADIES, MONOSTATOS

To you, great Queen of the Night,

we make our offering of vengeance!

(Thunder, lightning, tempest)

ALL

Our strength is shattered, destroyed,

we are all plunged into eternal night!

They disappear.

Scene change. Temple of the Sun.

Sarastro, Tamino and Pamina in priestly apparel, the priests and the three boys appear.

SARASTRO

The sun’s rays drive out the night,

destroy the ill-gotten power of the dissemblers!

CHORUS

Hail to you on your consecration!

You have penetrated the night,

thanks be given to you,

Osiris, thanks to you, Isis!

Strength has triumphed, rewarding

beauty and wisdom with an everlasting crown!

³ The Authorship of Don Quixote

„It is impossible to help but notice now and then that Armado [of Shakespeare’s ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’] is extraordinarily like Don Quixote in his consistent overestimate of himself and in his insistence on imagining himself a superhuman storybook hero. […]

„There is something rather pleasant in the thought that Shakespeare might be borrowing from Miguel de Cervantes, the Spanish author of the Don Quixote saga, since Cervantes was almost an exact contemporary of Shakespeare’s and by all odds one of the few writers, on the basis of Don Quixote alone, worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with Shakespeare. „There is only one catch, but that is a fatal one. The first part of Don Quixote was published in 1605, a dozen years at least after Love’s Labor’s Lost was written.“ (Isaac Asimov, Asimov’s Guide to Shakespeare, Avenel Books, New York, 1978, Vol, I, pp. 431-2.)

„Another curious case of cryptography was presented to the public in 1917 by one of the best of the SHAKESPEARE scholars, Dr. Alfred von Weber Ebenhoff of Vienna.  Employing the same systems previously applied to the works of Bacon, he began to examine the works of Cervantes…. Pursuing the investigation, he discovered overwhelming material evidence: the first English translation of Don Quixote bears corrections in Bacon’s hand.  He concluded that this English version was the original of the novel and that Cervantes had published a Spanish translation of it.“ (J. Duchaussoy, Bacon, Shakespeare ou Saint-Germain?, Paris, La Colombe, 1962, p. 122 – in Umberto Eco’s Foucault’s Pendulum, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, Publishers, New York, 1989, p. 406.)

²Abomination of Desolation

(Contemporary history)

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 possibly “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.
