That Work the Ides of March begun

© Gunnar Tómasson

Ides of March, 2015

 

 I. STAY PASSENGER – READ IF THOU CANST

Some 35 years ago, my wife and I visited Stratford. In Holy Trinity Church, a challenge greeted us:

19949 = STAY PASSENGER WHY GOEST THOU BY SO FAST

22679 = READ IF THOU CANST WHOM ENVIOUS DEATH HATH PLAST

24267 = WITH IN THIS MONUMENT SHAKSPEARE: WITH WHOME

20503 = QUICK NATURE DIDE WHOSE NAME DOTH DECK YS TOMBE

20150 = FAR MORE THEN COST: SIEH ALL YT HE HATH WRITT

129308

II. The Arrow of Time

Modern physics holds that “the arrow of time” moves in a linear manner. In ancient Hindu and Saga myth, the evolution of MAN as Creation in Time and Space is viewed as a cyclical phenomenon which unfolds in stages or World Cycles of 432000 “years” each.

In the Christian tradition of Saga-Shakespeare Myth, the imagery involves the “incarnation” of Monad as Spirit/Light, 1000, of Reason in a mortal frame of Time/Tími, 2312, and Space/Rúm, 2312, as in 1000 + 2315 + 2312 = 5627. In Shakespeare Myth, the imagery is highlighted by the name Stratford = 5627.

MAN’s evolution in TIME is held to be driven by “strife” between the Light, 1000, of Reason in MAN’s Soul and Ignorance, 4119, arising from MAN’s mortal frame. At mythical End of Time, the “strife” is held to be resolved through Metamorphosis whereby Ignorance is ″slain″ by the Light of Reason.

1 = Monad/God

129308 = Stratfordian MAN

432000 = World Cycle

7725 = Metamorphosis

1000 = Light

-4119 = Ignorance

565915

III. Et tu Brute? Then fall, Cæsar.

In the First folio (1623) version of Shakespeare’s play, Julius Cæsar, Stratfordian MAN is represented by “the mightiest Julius” as the Ruler of Rome was referred to in an end-of-the-world scene in a 1611 version of Hamlet. With MAN’s Soul being the “theater” of the action, Metamorphosis is symbolized by the “dagger” of Brutus whereby Cæsar is brought face-to-face with his inner BRUTE Self (Act III, Sc. i).

Cinna:

3200 = O Cæsar, –

Cæsar:

16936 = Hence: Wilt thou lift up Olympus!

Decius:

4910 = Great Cæsar, –

Cæsar:

16307 = Doth not Brutus bootlesse kneele?

Casca:

7232 = Speake, hands, for me!

   6500 = They stab Cæsar.

Cæsar:

13836 = Et tu, Brute? _______ Then fall Cæsar.                Dyes     

Cinna:

12536 = Liberty, Freedome, Tyranny is dead,

20780 = Run hence, proclaime, cry it about the Streets.

Casca:

19015 = Some to the common Pulpits, and cry out,

14707= Liberty, Freedome, and Enfranchisement.

Brutus:

15381 = People and Senators, be not affrighted:

18152 = Fly not, stand still: Ambition’s debt is paid.

169492

As in 169492 + 565915 = 735407.

IV. Stratfordian MAN’s ″hour upon the stage”

Quixotic Stratfordian MAN/Poor Player casts himself in the role of The Mightiest Julius during his ″hour upon the stage″ of The Globe theater – ″and then is heard no more″. A spark of Divine Wisdom enters the stage with Quixotic Stratfordian MAN at Alpha of his ″hour″ and exits to rejoin its Motherlode at Omega (see following section).

4385 = Hagia Sophia – Divine Wisdom – Incarnate in Ignorant Stratfordian MAN

-4000 = Dark Sword – Symbol of Ignorance as polar opposite to Light become Flaming Sword of Cosmic Creative Power

8284 = Stratfordian MAN’s “hour upon the stage”¹

105113 = Platonic World Soul² – Motherlode of Hagia Sophia

113782

V. Ending that work the Ides of March begun

(Julius Cæsar, Act V, Sc. i – First Folio)

                Cassius:

12879 = Now most Noble Brutus,

17568 = The gods today stand friendly, that we may,

15686 = Louers in peace, leade on our dayes to age!

23178 = But since the affayres of men rests still incertaine,

21190 = Let’s reason with the worst that may befall.

17931 = If we do lose this Battaile, then is this

19984 = The very last time we shall speake together:

15404 = What are you then determined to do?

Brutus:

15472 = Euen by the rule of that Philosophy,

14051 = By which I did blame Cato, for the death

19501 = Which he did giue himselfe, I know not how:

14406 = But I do finde it Cowardly, and vile,

19113 = For feare of what might fall, so to preuent

19095 = The time of life, arming my selfe with patience,

20623 = To stay the prouidence of some high Powers,

11326 = That gouerne vs below.

Cassius:

13765 = Then, if we loose this battaile,

16527 = You are contented to be led in Triumph

14976 = Thorow the streets of Rome.

Brutus:

7042 = No, Cassius, no:

13000 = Thinke not thou Noble Romane,

19844 = That euer Brutus will go bound to Rome,

16711 = He beares too great a minde. But this same day

19149 = Must end that work the Ides of March begun.

20191 = And whether we shall meete againe, I know not:

19155 = Therefore our euerlasting farewell take:

17976 = For euer, and for euer, farewell Cassius,

17336 = If we do meete againe, why we shall smile;

21165 = If not, why then, this parting was well made.

Cassius:

18046 = For euer, and for euer, farewell, Brutus:

14916 = If we do meete againe, wee’l smile indeed;

21535 = If not, ’tis true, this parting was well made.

Brutus:

17661 = Why then leade on. O that a man might know

17668 = The end of this dayes businesse, ere it come:

17050 = But it sufficeth, that the day will end,

20505 = And then the end is knowne. Come ho, away.   Exeunt.

621625

As in 113782 + 621625 = 735407.

¹ Alpha and Omega of Stratfordian MAN’s ″hour upon the stage″ are 26 April 1564 and 25 April 1616, the alleged dates of his baptism and burial in Holy Trinity Church, as in 2602 + 1564 + 2502 + 1616 = 8284. April is the second month of the year, old-style.

²Platonic World Soul, 105113, is the sum of 34 numerical values derived from the tone scale by what is known as the Traditional Construction of the World Soul. See Plato´s Mathematical Imagination by Robert Brumbaugh. The book was issued in 1954 and is accessible on the Internet. See p. 229.

Introduction

The Augustan-Saga-Shakespeare philosophical and literary tradition is based on ancient creation myth whose roots extend thousands of years into pre-history. As preserved in the tradition, the mathematical structure of the myth is commonly referred to as Pythagorean, but salient aspects of that structure are more properly identified with Plato (World Soul and Platonic Great Year) and the Roman astronomers who named the Houses of the Zodiac in the middle of the first millennium before Christ.

The ancient concept of Gematria, whereby letters of the alphabet are identified with specific fixed numerical values, was viewed by thinkers in antiquity as a medium and vehicle for Divine revelation at the level of Man. For, as indicated by the Pythagorean maxim All is Number, the structure of Divine Wisdom was held to be mathematical in nature.

Thus, the overtly revelatory section of the Edda of Snorri Sturluson (Gylfaginning), while expressed in written text, must have a mathematical sub-text or else be mere fabulation by its author. Or so it seemed to me when I set out some forty years ago to see if I could find some indication in the writings of Snorri Sturluson of what I assumed to be such mathematical sub-text of Gylfaginning.

I refer to previous postings on this blog site for further background information on my discovery of the Saga Cipher in Reykholtsmáldagi (The Reykholt Covenant). Below I use the Saga Cipher to set forth the mathematical structure of (a) the radical philosophical/religious sub-text of Saga-Shakespeare Myth, and (b) the closely interwoven symbolic imagery of the seemingly unrelated bodies of work that are the Saga and Edda literature of 13th century Iceland and the Shakespeare literature of Elizabethan and Jacobean England.

And now justice returns, return of Saturn’s reign,

And now a new lineage is sent down from high heaven.

Background.

Medieval Christians read Virgil’s poem as a prophecy of the coming of Christ. The Augustan Age, although pre-Christian, was viewed as a golden age preparing the world for the coming of Christ. The great poets of this age were viewed as a source of revelation and light upon the Christian mysteries to come. (Wikipedia)

The Shakespeare Challenge

© Gunnar Tómasson

7 February 2015.

Some 35 years ago, my late wife and I visited Stratford-upon-Avon.

 

On entering Holy Trinity Church, a challenge greeted us:

19949 = STAY PASSENGER WHY GOEST THOU BY SO FAST

22679 = READ IF THOU CANST WHOM ENVIOUS DEATH HATH PLAST

24267 = WITH IN THIS MONUMENT SHAKSPEARE: WITH WHOME

20503 = QUICK NATURE DIDE WHOSE NAME DOTH DECK YS TOMBE

20150 = FAR MORE THEN COST: SIEH ALL YT HE HATH WRITT

21760 = LEAVES LIVING ART BUT PAGE TO SERVE HIS WITT

129308

 

Now, all these years later, I submit a solution to the challenge.

In Cipher Form, the solution “reads” as follows:

38764 + 78372 + 8282 + 3890 = 129308.

 

In reverse order, the first two cipher components translate into text as follows:

3890 = Christ

8282 = Will Shakespeare¹

 

The third component is the Cipher Value of Snorri Sturluson‘s introduction in Edda of the Cosmic Creative Power that would later be presented in the Shakespeare Opus as Prince Hamlet²:

11285 = Hvatt kveða hræra Grótta

9506 = hergrimmastan skerja

10802 = út fyrir jarðar skauti

9348 = eylúðrs níu brúðir,

12121 = þær er, lungs, fyrir löngu,

8424 = líðmeldr, skipa hlíðar

10874 = baugskerðir rístr barði

6012 = ból, Amlóða mólu.

78372

 

The fourth component is the Cipher Value of Snorri‘s introduction in Edda of Brennu-Njáll, or Burnt Niall, the title character of the Saga masterpiece Brennu-Njáls Saga:

11213 = Senn jósum vér, svanni,

9951 = sextán, en brim vexti,

7823 = dreif á hafskips húfa

9777 = húm, í fjórum rúmum.

38764

 

The archaic language (kennings) used in both verses defies translation into modern Icelandic.

Suffice it to say that these are the only explicit references to the twin actors – Cosmic Creative Power and Archetypal Man-Beast/Man – of ancient creation myth to be found in Snorri Sturluson’s Edda.

 

¹ Will Shakespeare is listed as an actor in two plays by Ben Jonson.

² The 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.)

Mount Dolorosa of Celtic/Icelandic Christianity

© Gunnar Tómasson

6 February 2015.

Background – Einar Pálsson

If we can hypothesize about the two beasts of Revelation from the Icelandic medieval allegory, they were Time and Death. They had the same number as the beginning and end of Christ. They were that which Christ supplanted. It should be mentioned here that a famous palindrome of antiquity – 432 – 234 – signified totality. If we add those numers we get 666. St. Peter’s in Rome is said to be based on this palindrome; what this doubtlessly signifies (if correct; we have not been able to have this corroborated) is that the world of Christ supplanted pagan cosmology. Before the world stood for natural elements, but no more, now they stand for the risen Christ. There is little doubt that they also stood for the Perfect Cube and the perfect diameter of the cosmos – which became Christ.

It can be deduced that Skarp-Heðinn [one of Njáll‘s sons – insert], Death, normally the symbol of 5, also became the symbol of 15. Medieval illustrations show that five pebbles were added under the triangle of the decad forming a perfect triangle of 15. In this guise Death seems to have become the Devil himself. It will therefore come as a major surprise that is very probably the symbol of the virgin Mary when she had to walk up her steps of sorrow so pregnant with symbolic imagery. If this was so, the steps were her platforms, on her way up Mount Dolorosa. The Mount Dolorosa in Iceland was named Þríhyrningr (Three Horns or Triangle); it can be inferred from circumstantial evidence that on top of that mountain there were 15 crosses signifying that Mary with the birth of Christ had overcome Death himself – in the form of three crosses. On the mountain Þríhyrningr Flosi and his arsonists rested for three days and nights after the Fire.

[…]

…Numerology in medieval Christian churches indicates that Pythagorean numbers were not at all replaced; they were hallowed. This reminds one of the words of Gregory of Nyssa speaking on the mystery of salvation; he found it a miracle that such a mystery should have been enacted in “the infinitesimal time” of three days. Flosi and his entourage ride from the Fire at Bergþórshváll on to mount Þríhyrningr, the Mount Dolorosa of Celtic Christianity, where he and his men stay for three days and nights. What almost certainly happened during that period was that the great mystery of salvation was enacted in this world. The old heathen world had perished in the flames. (Allegory in Njáls Saga and its Basis in Pythagorean Thought, Mímir, 1999, pp. 227-228 and p. 235.)

What is truth?

© Gunnar Tómasson

4 February, 2015

Introduction

Many years ago I read some of the principal works by Friedrich Nietzsche’s in English translation.  It soon became apparent to me that Nietzsche’s worldview was very much in line with that of the eight authors in the Augustan-Saga-Shakespeare literary tradition, (Horace, Virgil, Propertius, Ovid, Snorri Sturluson, Sturla Þórðarson, Edward Oxenford, and Francis Bacon) as reflected also in the King James Bible (1611).

The following summary is an excellent introduction to that worldview and its underlying philosophy.

Man as Bridge Between Animal and Overman

Nietzsche contends that humanity is a transition, not a destination. We ceased to be animals when we taught ourselves to control our instincts for the sake of greater gains. By learning to resist some of our natural impulses, we have been able to forge civilizations, develop knowledge, and deepen ourselves spiritually. Rather than directing our will to power outward to dominate those around us, we have directed it inward and gained self-mastery. However, this struggle for self-mastery is arduous, and humanity is constantly tempted to give up. Christian morality and contemporary nihilism are just two examples of worldviews that express the desire to give up on life. We come to see life as blameworthy or meaningless as a way of easing ourselves out of the struggle for self-mastery. Nietzsche’s concept of the overman is the destination toward which we started heading when we first reined in our animal instincts. The overman has the self-mastery that animals lack but also the untrammeled instincts and good conscience that humans lack. The overman is profoundly in love with life, finding nothing in it to complain about, not even the constant suffering and struggle to which he willingly submits himself.

At kunna skilja þat, er hulit er kveðit.

Inngangsorð

Er rjóminn af fræðimennsku á sviði íslenzkra fræða undanrenna?

Sigurður Nordal taldi svo vera oftar en ekki. Í inngangsorðum að útgáfu hans að Völuspá – væntanlega að gefnu tilefni – gagnrýndi hann „ritskýrendur og fornfræðimenn vorra daga” fyrir „skammsýni og hugleysi‟. „Svo mikill ljóður sem það er á fræðimanni að leggja andleysi sjálfs síns inn í annarra rit, þá er hitt engu síður ábyrgðarhluti að eigna verkum löngu liðinna stórmenna sitt eigið andleysi og reyna að hneppa þá í stakk, sem sniðinn er við dverga hæfi. Afleiðingar þessa moldvörpu-hugsunarháttar verða jafnillar fyrir fræðimennina sjálfa og almenning. Enginn er fær um um að rannsaka einstakt svið, svo að fullu gagni komi ok ekkert fari til spillis, nema hann kunni að sjá það í sambandi við lífið og menninguna í heild sinni. Og enginn er í raun og veru fær um að skýra alþýðlega frá öðru en því, sem hann þekkir út í æsar. Nú fer svo alltof oft, að mentaður almenningur fælist rit fræðimanna, þykist finna þar steina fyrir brauð. En um leið er hætt við, að viðfangsefnin falli í hendur reyfara, sem krydda þau með ábyrgðarlausu andríki og lesendurnir verða þessum gutlurum að bráð.” (Fylgirit, Árbók Háskóla Íslands, 1922-23, bls. 13-14).

Einar Pálsson heitinn hefði mátt taka undir þetta.

Ritsafn Einars Pálssonar, Rætur íslenzkrar menningar, er nánast alfræðiorðabók um þá hugmyndafræði sem ætla má að hafi mótað rithátt Snorra Sturlusonar og Sturlu Þórðarsonar. Þar sem „forn höfuðskáld‟, sem Snorri nefnir svo í 8. kafla Skáldskaparmála Eddu (sjá hér að neðan) notuðu svokallaða gematríu, þar sem einstakir stafir stafrófsins hafa ákveðið tölugildi, til að „kveða hulit‟ um viðfangsefni goðsagna, þá fannst mér liggja beint við að ætla að Snorri og Sturla hafi gert slíkt hið sama.

Vandinn var hins vegar sá að þess sáust engi merki í verkum þeirra að gematría kynni að búa þar undir.  Ég hafði því augun opin fyrir vísbendingum í ritverkum 13. aldar í þá veru. Í ritsafninu Saga Íslands, sem kom út í tilefni 1100 ára Íslandsbyggðar 1974, rakst ég á eftirfarandi setningu í Reykholtsmáldaga frá tíð Snorra Sturlusonar, en máldaginn er elzta skinnhandriti Íslandssögunnar:

Skrín þat es stendr á altara meþ helgo domo gefa þeir Magn oc Snorre at helfninge hvar þeirra oc es þetta kirkio fé umb fram of þat es áþr es talet.

Hugtökin „skrín‟, „altari‟, „helgir dómar‟ voru hugsanlegar vísbendingar af því tagi sem ég hafði í huga, en vandinn var sá að hér örlar ekki á neinni gematríu. Mér datt hins vegar í hug að kanna hvort hún gæti hugsanlega falist í orðunum sjálfum. Eftir miklar bollaleggingar og tilraunir tókst mér að draga fram það sem ég hef kallað Táknmálslykil Reykholtsmáldaga – Saga eða Saga-Shakespeare Cipher á ensku:

A = 73; B = 116; C = K; D/Ð = 225; E = 228; F = 285; G = 325; H = 376; I/J/Y = 425; K = 449; L = 504; M = 542; N = 569; O = 660; P = 683; Q = 770; R = 821; S = 896; T/Þ = 923; U/V = 949; X = 1018; Z = 1094; W = V + V, og Æ = A + E.

Eins og sjá má hér að neðan, þá takmarkast notagildi Táknmálslykils Reykholtsmáldaga ekki við skrif Snorra og Sturlu, heldur tengir hugmyndafræði þeirra við 2000 ára gamalt lykilverk Óvíðs, Metamorphoses.

And now the measure of my song is done:

The work has reached its end; the book is mine,

None shall unwrite these words: nor angry Jove,

Nor war, nor fire, nor flood,

Nor venomous time that eats our lives away.

Then let that morning come, as come it will,

When this disguise I carry shall be no more,

And all the treacherous years of life undone,

And yet my name shall rise to heavenly music,

The deathless music of the circling stars.

As long as Rome is the Eternal City

These lines shall echo from the lips of men,

As long as poetry speaks truth on earth,

That immortality is mine to wear.

(Transl. by Horace Gregory, Ovid –

The Metamorphoses, Mentor Books, 1960, p. 441)

Gunnar Tómasson
Ég er fæddur (1940) og uppalinn á Melunum í Reykjavík. Stúdent úr Verzlunarskóla Íslands 1960 og með hagfræðigráður frá Manchester University (1963) og Harvard University (1965). Starfaði sem hagfræðingur við Alþjóðagjaldeyrissjóðinn frá 1966 til 1989. Var m.a. aðstoðar-landstjóri AGS í Indónesíu 1968-1969, og landstjóri í Kambódíu (1971-1972) og Suður Víet-Nam (1973-1975). Hef starfað sjálfstætt að rannsóknarverkefnum á ýmsum sviðum frá 1989, þ.m.t. peningahagfræði. Var einn af þremur stofnendum hagfræðingahóps (Gang8) 1989. Frá upphafi var markmið okkar að hafa hugsað málin í gegn þegar - ekki ef - allt færi á annan endann í alþjóðapeningakerfinu. Í október 2008 kom sú staða upp í íslenzka peninga- og fjármálakerfinu. Alla tíð síðan hef ég látið peninga- og efnahagsmál á Íslandi meira til mín taka en áður. Ég ákvað að gerast bloggari á pressan.is til að geta komið skoðunum mínum í þeim efnum á framfæri.
