Edward de Vere and Yggdrasill

(„Shakespeare“ By Another Name)

For his own tiltyard nom de guerre, de Vere borrowed from the Norse legends of a great golden tree in the center of the universe (Yggdrasill), representing the sun. The earl of Oxford‘s page stood before the queen and recited the following oath: Once upon a time there was a knight who had once lived in a verdant grove where the trees began to succumb to infections and worms. So he made his way out onto the plains. But the barren lands there were so harsh and unforgiving that the knight soon had to leave the plains too. This is when he first encountered the Yggdrasil. „This tree, fair knight, is called the Tree of the Sun, an old hermit told him, „whose nature is always to stand alone, not suffering a companion, being itself without comparison.“ The Tree of the Sun was so fair and beautiful that the knight could scarcely believe his eyes. So he kissed the ground and „swore himself only to be the Knight of the Tree of the Sun, whose life should end before his loyalty.“ The newly dubbed Knight went to asleep sheltered by the Yggdrasil’s canopy and there he dreamed he saw „diggers undermining the Tree behind him.“ De Vere’s page continued the tale:

That Sun Tree suspecting the Knight to give the diggers aid might have punished him in her prison. But failing of their pretense and seeing every blow they struck so light upon their own brains, they threatened him by violence whom they could not match in virtue. …

This he will avouch at all assays: himself to be the most loyal Knight of the Sun Tree, which who so gainsayeth, he is here pressed either to make him recant it before he run or repent it after, offering rather to die upon the points of a thousand lances than to yield a jot in constant loyalty. (pp. 170-171)

IV. The Mousetrap

(Creation Myth)

13312

The imagery of The Mouse-trap concerns the passage of Time as “hour upon the stage” of Macbethian “poor player” who acts out “a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.

The myth relates to the Seventh Day of Creation. Mortal Man’s divine aspect enters the Dark, – 1000, Stage as Emmanuel, 3635, and exits as Flaming sword, 4000, at Play’s End. Af that point, Man’s divine aspect is understood to have all along been God With Us, 6677.

As in 3635 – 1000 + 4000 + 6677 = 13312

The underlying myth is that of Matthew 1:23: “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”

¹Real-world Background

(1976-1989)

On 26 February 2014, I posted the following message to [friends] – expressly for future reference:

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 to bibal on occasions.

This is the final cumulative sum of a very large number of 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 a message [to same friends], 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.

These candidacies [of other Shakespeare claimants] have inherently no less rationality than that of Christopher Marlowe, the most recent to achieve wide notoriety.  By now only the most innocent will suppose the Siberian expanses separating the literary personalities of the gentle Shakespeare and iconoclastic Marlowe (described by a contemporary as of a cruel and intemperate nature) sufficient to discourage heretical speculation.  One fact, however, might: Marlowe’s sudden death at the age of twenty-nine on 30 May 1593 at widow Eleanor Bull’s place of public refreshment at Deptford, where he may have had lodgings, not far from the plague-stricken capital.  The circumstances of the slaying are set forth in detail in the legal records; a jury of sixteen accepted the coroner’s findings. [Where the dead party is called Christopher Morley – insert] But of such impossibilities the anti-Stratfordians make instruments to plague us. (S. Schoenbaum, Shakespeare’s Lives, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1991, p. 445)

¹An earth-shaking culmination of human and spiritual evolution.

On 26 February 2014, I posted the following message to [friends] – expressly for future reference:

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 to bibal on occasions.

This is the final cumulative sum of a very large number of names of individuals [men of greatest name -insert], 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 a message [to same friends], 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.

Background Notes

A. Ignorance Mother of Science

Still Alive in the Universities

(From an old working note)

Johannes Kepler, who was William Shakespeare’s contemporary, wrote in a Latin work known in English as `Kepler’s Dream’ „that Science is born of untaught experience (or, to use medical terms, the offspring Science has as its mother empirical practice) and that so long as the mother, Ignorance, lives, it is not safe for Science, the offspring, to divulge the hidden causes of things; rather, age must be respected, a ripening of years must be awaited, worn out by which, as if by old age, Ignorance will finally die. The object of my Dream was to work out, through the example of the moon, an argument for the motion of the earth; or rather, to overcome objections taken from the general opposition of mankind. I believed that Ignorance was by then sufficiently extinct and erased from the memory of intelligent men. But the spirit struggles in a chain of many links, strengthened by many centuries, and the ancient mother is still alive in the Universities, but living in such a way that death must seem better to her than life.“ (Translation by John Lear, University of California Press, 1965, footnote 3, p. 89.)

B. Don Quixote’s Authorship Issue

Francis Bacon the Author?

(From an old working note)

While the Shakespeare Authorship Issue is well known among the general reading public, much less publicity has attended the like issue with respect to Don Quixote. Yet, the latter work contains no less than thirty-three direct statements to the effect that its ‘true’ author was not Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra but someone named Cid Hamet Benengeli.

The identity of Cid Hamet Benengeli remains a mystery, but there is evidence on record to suggest that Francis Bacon was the real author of Don Quixote de la Mancha:

„Another curious case of cryptography was presented to the public in 1917 by one of the best of the Bacon scholars, Dr. Alfred von Weber Ebenhoff of Vienna. Employing the same systems previously applied to the works of Shakespeare, 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.)

C. Internal Literary Evidence

Don Quixote and William Shakespeare

(From an old working note)

There is also internal literary evidence in Don Quixote itself which suggests a direct, but unknown, link between the work and an earlier play by William Shakespeare:

„It is impossible to help but notice now and then that Armado [of Shakespeare’s ‘Love’s Labour’s Lost’ – insert] 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.)

V. Victor Hugo – Les Misérables – II

(The Final Chapter)

`Grass Conceals And Rain Blots Out’
197081

In the Père-Lachaise cemetery, in the neighborhood of the potters’ field, far from the elegant quarter of that city of sepulchers, far from all those fantastic tombs that display in presence of eternity the hideous fashions of death, in a deserted corner, beside an old wall, beneath a great yew on which the bindweed climbs, among the dog-grass and the mosses, there is a stone. This stone is exempt no more than the rest from the leprosy of time, from the mold, the lichen, and the birds’ droppings. The air turns it black, the water green. It is near no path, and people do not like to go in that direction, because the grass is high, and they would wet their feet. All around there is a rustling of wild oats. In spring, the linnets come to sing in the tree.
This stone is entirely blank. The only thought in cutting it was of the essentials of the grave, and there was no other care than to make this stone long enough and narrow enough to cover a man.
No name can be read there.
Only many years ago, a hand wrote on it in pencil these four lines, which have gradually become illegible under the rain and the dust, and are probably gone by now:

23994 = Il dort. Quoique le sort fût pour lui bien étrange.
22982 = Il vivait. Il mourut quand il n’eut plus son ange.
15117 = La chose simplement d’elle-même arriva,
19824 = Comme la nuit se fait lorsque le jour s’en va. **

4000 = Flaming Sword

105113 = Platonic World Soul – Conventional construction

197081

* Before reading what follows, the reader should remember that “…after a long sleep, the same theories reappear, without doubt they return to us with new, richer clothes, but the foundation remains the same and the new mask which they wear should not mislead the man of knowledge…“ – Williamson/Hughes translation in quotation marks.

**He is asleep. Though his mettle was sorely tried,
He lived, and when he lost his angel, died.
It happened calmly, on its own,
The way night comes when day is done.

¹From All Fools Day to Easter Morning

(Alfred Dodd)

Every schoolboy knows the story told in their history books how Francis Bacon one snowy day on or about All Fools Day, 1 April 1626, drove with the King’s Physician, Sir John Wedderburn, to Highgate and that at the foot of the Hill he stopped, bought a fowl, and stuffed it with snow with his own hands in order to ascertain whether bodies could be preserved by cold.  During the procedure, we are told, he caught a chill, and instead of Dr. Wedderburn driving him back to Gray’s Inn (whence he had come) or taking him to some warm house, the worthy doctor took him to an empty summer mansion on Highgate Hill, Arundel House, where there was only a caretaker; and there Francis Bacon was put into a bed which was damp and had only been „warmed by a Panne“ (a very strange thing for a doctor to do) with the result that within a few days he died of pneumonia.  Dr. Rawley, his chaplain, says that he died „in the early morning of the 9^th April, a day on which was COMMEMORATED the Resurrection of Our Saviour“. That is the story and [in V. above] is Francis Bacon’s last letter. (Francis Bacon’s Personal Life-Story, Rider & Company, 1986, p. 539)

V. … and The Forty-Sixth Psalm

(King James Bible, 1611)

433745

“It would be pleasant to think that Shakespeare was responsible, in part, for the majesty of the following,” wrote author Anthony Burgess of the forty-sixth psalm of the King James Bible:

46:1

27783 = God is our refuge and strength; a very present helpe in trouble.

46:2

25140 = Therfore will not we feare, though the earth be removed:

25186 = and though the mountaines be caried into the midst of the sea,

46:6

17597 = The heathen raged, the kingdomes were moved:

15907 = he uttered his voyce, the earth melted.

46:7

15221 = The Lord of hosts is with us,

14069 = the God of Jacob is our refuge.  Selah.

46:8

15149 = Come, behold the Workes of the Lord,

17919 = what desolations hee hath made in the earth.

46:9

21932 = He maketh warres to cease unto the end of the earth:

14120 = he burneth the chariot in the fire.

46:10

  14069 = the God of Jacob is our refuge.  Selah.                                                                                

433745

“Whether he had anything to do with it or not, he is in it.  It is the forty-sixth Psalm.  The forty-sixth word from the beginning is SHAKE, and the forty-sixth word from the end, if we leave out the cadential ‘Selah’, is SPEARE.  And, in 1610, Shakespeare was forty-six years old.  If this is mere chance, fancy must allow us to think that it is happy chance.  The greatest prose-work of all time has the name of the greatest poet set cunningly in it.” (Anthony Burgess, Shakespeare, Penguin Books, 1972, pp. 233-234)
