The book was delivered to the wrong house a couple weeks, but someone brought it to me Monday night. I thought it was lost and gave up ever having it. Once in my hands, able to flip through and explore freely without worrying I was destroying an antiquity, I noticed something I had not before on page 157 and 287. I have developed something to share with help from my AI tool so I can try to express what I see. So I am sharing with my frends: The Silent Seal: Bacon's Two Pages of Friendship In 1625, Francis Bacon published the final and greatly expanded edition of his Essays during his lifetime. Within its pages, he left two passages on friendship that appear to speak to one another across the book. One concerns the nature of friendship itself. The other concerns the relationship between followers and friends. The page numbers I want to talk about are 157 and 287. https://books.google.com/books?id=WVhpAAAAcAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false For those familiar with the numerical signatures associated with the Rosicrucian Brotherhood, those numbers will already have attracted attention. But the significance of these pages may extend beyond their numbers. Bacon appears to be demonstrating, through the very subject of friendship, how something may be communicated without being openly declared. The First Page: Friendship Illuminates the Understanding On page 157, under the heading Of Frendship, Bacon describes friendship as a means of bringing light to the mind. He writes: For Frendship maketh indeed a faire Day in the Affections, from Storme and Tempests: But it maketh Day-light in the Vnderstanding; out of Darknesse & Confusion of Thoughts. Friendship does more than comfort the heart. It illuminates the understanding. Bacon continues by explaining that a man whose mind is filled with thoughts discovers greater clarity through communicating and discoursing with another. His thoughts become ordered. His understanding improves. He becomes wiser through conversation than through solitary meditation. The message is unmistakable: understanding is enlarged through communication. The Second Page: The Friend Who Sees What Others Cannot On page 287, in Of Followers and Frends, Bacon returns to the subject. To take Aduice of some few Frends is euer Honourable; For Lookers on, many times, see more then Gamesters; The parallel is remarkable. On page 157, friendship brings daylight to the understanding. On page 287, the friend standing outside the game may perceive what those playing it cannot. Both passages concern the same essential principle: knowledge may be gained through another person's perspective. But there is something more. Bacon does not recommend taking advice from everyone. He specifies some few Frends. And he distinguishes those friends from followers. A follower may be concerned with position, advantage, or advancement. A friend may offer something more valuable: an understanding that the individual cannot attain alone. The Communication Between the Pages Consider what Bacon has done. He has placed two discussions of friendship at different locations in his book. The first explains how friendship illuminates understanding through communication. The second explains how a few friends may perceive what others overlook. Neither passage openly directs the reader to the other. Yet when the two are brought together, they illuminate one another. The reader who recognizes their connection experiences precisely what Bacon describes: understanding emerging through the communication of separate thoughts. And the two pages bear numbers that invite a further consideration. The Seal In the Elizabethan cipher systems employed in this investigation, the exact phrase FRA ROSI CROSSE yields 157 in Simple Cipher and 287 in Kaye Cipher. Elizabethan 24-Letter Ciphers: FRA ROSI CROSSE is 157 Simple cipher, 287 Kaye cipher. These are the very page numbers on which Bacon's two discussions of friendship appear in his 1625 Essays. Under the proposed interpretation, the numbers serve as a silent Seal, joining two passages that concern the illumination of understanding through friendship and communication. There is no explicit declaration of a Rosicrucian connection in either passage. The proposed Seal rests on the correspondence of the page numbers, the cipher values, and the related subject matter. Yet the literary effect of reading the pages together is compelling. Bacon tells us that a friend may see what the person engaged in the game cannot. He tells us that understanding is clarified through communication. And across the pages of his book, he has left two passages that become more meaningful when considered together. Perhaps the Seal is not merely in the numbers. Perhaps it is in the act of discovering what they bring together. The friend who sees more than the gamester may be the reader who recognizes what has been placed before him.

It doesn't seem to matter to them. They press on anyway. Thank you, and the others, who have called them out on their deceptions, even if it feels like Sisyphus trying to push the boulder up the hill. "In a nutshell"--to use a Shakespearean expression ("O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have had bad dreams."--Hamlet) (Bacon's Promus, p. 414,under item #1283, Spes vigilantis somnium. Other examples given: "Hope is a waking man's dream," with references given to Bacon's essay, "Of Death" and his Meditations Sacrae, Spedding 7:248, as well as four more examples from Shakespeare plays. Remembering Bacon's nightmare about his father's house being all plastered over with black mortar, a premonition of his father's death which gave him his early interest in dreams)--sorry, got off on a tangent. Trying again: The legal publisher West has a "Nutshell" series, a series of small volumes, one on each area of law, in which they try to distill the essential points of law. The Oxfrauds are using the term "prima facie case" erroneously, in my opinion. Just because they say they have a prima facie case doesn't mean they do. 1. In Anglo-American legal terminology, the term prima facie case means a case which a judge has decided meets certain evidentiary standards, such that, it is so strong that its proponent is entitled to a presumption in its favor, such that, the plaintiff wins, unless the defendant can rebut that presumption. All that is required to rebut the presumption it is to raise a reasonable doubt. If the defendant raises reasonable doubt, then there must be a trial, where both sides present evidence and a judge or jury decides who wins. 2. Reasonable doubt is present. It has been expressed countless times by respected persons of good judgment who see the inconsistency between the limited facts known about Shaxpere's biography, including the lack of even a decent handwriting specimen, and the learned eloquence and vast knowledge reflected in the works we attribute to "William Shakespeare." 3. There is a legal maxim: no man can be judge in his own cause. Bacon has it in his Maxims of the Law, as William Lowes Rushton discusses in his book, Shakespeare: A Lawyer (giving examples from the Shakespeare plays). The Oxfrauds can't simply self-proclaim that they have a PFC. Only a judge can decide. They've eliminated that step. 5. The Oxfrauds have invited us to present our own PFC. I have tried to explain to them that the case for Bacon is a case you dig for, not a case based on surface appearances. Can the matter ever be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt? Maybe not, but that would not be the standard, after a trial. After a trial, in a civil matter, the standard is usually just a preponderance of the evidence--just a feather's weight to tip the scales. But I don't think there should ever be a trial if the goal of such a trial is to decide the matter for all time. Shakespeare belongs to the whole world and for all time, past, present, and future. This isn't a matter for a court to decide--not in any binding way. 6. Judge Learned Hand, in his 1944 speech, "The Spirit of Liberty," said "The spirit of liberty is that which is not too sure it is right." This spirit of doubt is so necessary to any sort of truth-finding. https://www.fire.org/research-learn/spirit-liberty-speech-judge-learned-hand-1944. If Bacon had set the whole mystery up on purpose to keep people looking for his buried literary treasures and to maintain interest in the Shakespeare plays, I would not be surprised. The Oxfrauds call their introduction "An End to Doubt." That in itself is cause for concern. Doubt is a good thing. 7. Sadly, I fear that many will be mislead by the Oxfraud PFC.

They prefer "debating" Oxies because they are much easier to deal with.

"From away back towards the very beginning of the Shakespear-Bacon controversy I have been on the Bacon side, and have wanted to see our majestic Shakespear unhorsed." "A Mark Twain Letter, Dictated by him at his home in Stormfield, CT on January 11, 1909." https://sirbacon.org/links/marktwainletter.html. Some twenty years earlier, he writes, he had financed the publication of Donnelly's book, The Great Cryptogram! Such treasures we find, right here on SirBacon.org! This, I think, must answer the question whether Twain was "a Baconian" with a resounding "Yes!" I think I remember reading about Twain's financing Donnelly's book somewhere else, too. It might have been something written online in connection with Zachary Michael Jack's book, The Strange Genius of Ignatius Donnelly: The Populist Who Debunked Shakespeare and Found Atlantis. https://cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501776939/the-strange-genius-of-ignatius-donnelly/. What do you think of that for a title? On this subject of Greenwood and Twain's borrowing with permission: here's a book I just discovered and haven't read: Gary Scharnhorst, Twain and Literary Perfidy: Plagiariam, Piracy, and Imposture of (and by) Samuel Clemens (Jefferson NC: McFarland, 2025). As for Chernow's biography, Mark Twain (2026), I had raised the question whether Chernow had adequately covered Twain's vindication. I remember Lawrence's bringing his book up in a past SirBacon forum discussion. I tried to find out what I could from a Google preview search. No pages came up for "Lane" (name of Greenwood's publisher) or "Jewett" (name of Lane's New York office's managing editor who gave written permission for Twain to use as much of Greenwood's book as he wanted, as per Michael Shelden's book, Man in White, pages cited in previous comment in this thread). Back to searching Chernow: as for "lawyer" and "law," no pertinent references came up. As for "Greenwood," only page references in the index came up. Judging by these findings, it's hard to see how Chernow could have covered Twain's vindication adequately if he didn't mention Jewett's letter. We'd have to read the book to know for sure, though. Thank goodness Michael Shelden did let us know about the letter.

A Phoenix and a Prima Facie Case for Shakespeare: The simplest proof of authorship and PWBUCHAN 'pwbuchan' stated above in response to six contemporary manuscripts and printed documents related to Lord Bacon's authorship of the Shakespeare works: 'Look at this collection of nonsense. Every one of them requires the reader to assume to conclusion in advance.' This is Stratfordian cognitive delinquency on an almost inconceivable level of scale and magnitude that dwarfs all the usual tactics of misrepresentation, denial and dismissal that is unfortunately the modus operandi of this site. There is obviously a fundamental flaw in this imbecilic level of reasoning which would likely embarrass and mortify an intelligent child. None of the six documents referred to above requires the reader to assume to conclusion in advance. Each and every one of them carried a clear reference to a full-length work on the stated manuscript and printed document. Now a serious, impartial and objective scholar interested in the facts, evidence and information contained within these stated full-length publications would, of course, actually examine and read them in their entirety. It seems that Stratfordians possess powers that elude Baconians and all other serious scholars, whereby not even having read a work, you somehow by some kind of divine or magical prowess, know what it contains and similarly without being aware of all the relevant, historical research, evidence and facts, are able to ignore and dismiss it. Does it really need stating how ridiculous and absurd, not to mention moronic, it is to dismiss a work you have not even actually read. Instead what he delivered was mindless and ignorant front and bluster which served to confirm his low-level academic and intellectual prowess, or complete lack of it. Clearly, serious scholarship is not your strong suit. As a viable alternative, you might wish to consider taking up a spot of knitting or a bit of light gardening.

It's mind blowing that not one letter exists or remains by the hand of the great William Shakespeare. I guess he had better things to do than to correspond with his non existent literary friends, after all he was too busy writing plays, and too busy to have his own gag book of writings and too busy not to correspond with his family back in Stratford. They want us to believe this is normal, no one kept letters, or had their own Promus. Funny how the man who actually wrote Shakespeare had a personal notebook with Shakespeare phrases, ideas, maintained a large correspondence that was preserved, had friends that acknowledged his literary and language abilities and left a published record of it, but apparently this is not enough to persuade the Orwellian Stratfordians whose final directive is to dismiss what your eyes and ears are telling you. To top it off they reject and in their pompous manner laugh off the actual proof that both Shakespeare and Bacon thought the same, shared the same sentiments on many topics and themes , while denying the elucidation of Robert Theobald without having read his enlightening research. Shakespeare Studies in Baconian Light by Robert M Theobald (Author) See all formats and editions Shakespeare Studies in Baconian Light is a book written by Robert M. Theobald that explores the theory that Francis Bacon, rather than William Shakespeare, was the true author of the works attributed to Shakespeare. The book examines various aspects of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, including their themes, language, and historical context, and analyzes them in light of Bacon's own writings and philosophy. Theobald argues that there are numerous similarities between Bacon's work and Shakespeare's, and that the evidence suggests that Bacon was the true author behind the Shakespearean canon. The book is aimed at scholars and enthusiasts of Shakespearean literature, as well as those interested in the Baconian theory of authorship.1901. The author attempts to persuade that Francis Bacon is the true Shakespeare by using evidence from criticisms of both Shakespeare's work and that of Bacon, as well as historical knowledge of the Elizabethan time period. The author also draws intelligent comparisons between the stylistic qualities of both playwrights, as well as coming to philosophical conclusions concerning the matter.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Great finding my frend ! And great synchronicity too. I am working on an Essay about the Tempest for the next special Baconiana, and yesterday, I was considering discussing the connection between The Tempest and page 157 of Bacon's essays. Indeed, "For Frendship maketh indeed a faire Day in the Affections, from Storme and Tempests" can be found in the 3rd edition of Bacon's Essay, but not in previous editions. https://www.google.fr/books/edition/The_History_of_the_Noble_and_Valiant_Squ/llNpAAAAcAAJ?hl=fr&gbpv=0 https://www.google.fr/books/edition/The_Essaies_of_Sr_Francis_Bacon_His_Reli/oFlpAAAAcAAJ?hl=fr&gbpv=0 For me, with this phrase, Francis Bacon refers to the worst tempest he weathered ... Francis Bacon's letter to King James "When I enter into myself, I find not the materials of such a tempest as is comen upon me. I have been (as your Majesty knoweth best) never author of any immoderate counsel, but always desired to have things carried suavibus modis. I have been no avaricious oppressor of the people. I have been no haughty or intolerable or hateful man, in my conversation or carriage." https://sirbacon.org/letterjames.htm And his best friend was Tobie Matthew, his "alter ego", who remained a devoted lifelong friend and literary confidant through Francis Bacon's political downfall and impeachment for bribery. This partly explains, in my opinion, why Tobie has his place in The Tempest. https://archive.org/details/mrvvilliamshakes00shak/page/n25/mode/1up I am happy that your copy of the 1971 facsimile of Bacon's Essays has found its rightful owner.

As Inaugural Folger Chair in Shakespeare Studies Paul Menzer puts it, “The verifiable facts of his life would fit on the back of a postcard. But the stories that we have told about them would fill a dozen phone books.” Menzer’s new book, The Complete Life of William Shakespeare, dives into the life story of one of history’s most editorialized yet most enigmatic figures, navigating the space between fact and fancy. Did Shakespeare embark on a lone hero’s journey, or was his move to London more of a family road trip? Could such a great poet have also been a shrewd businessman? And why aren’t there more Shakespeares out there? In this episode, Menzer lays out the known facts of the Bard’s biography and posits how we might connect the dots on what’s missing—while throwing some “wobbles into the orbit” of well-trenched folk wisdom. rom the Shakespeare Unlimited podcast.

Hi Lawrence, Personally, I do not think so, and for at least three reasons : 1) Astronomical : 1623 is the year of the Great Conjonction Saturn/Jupiter 2) Literary : The twinship with the publication of De Dignitate & Augmentis Scientarum in october 1623. 3) Cryptographic : The First Folio was published in 1623 and the Second Folio in 1632. As A=1, B=2, C=3 and F=6, then both 1623 and 1632 hide F. BAC. (Francis Bacon) For more details about the first two reasons see the work of Peter Dawkins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLxSQ_XBOTs The 1623 Revelation of the Baconian-Rosicrucian Great Instauration : https://www.google.com/goto?url=CAESsQEB6zswFSeM5JUgbEFwxIFCzkmgklT-il-0-BI51xh79-f0ZybuyMo-UmUT-yBZOqZfrN3RwaxEjcV0FH5HksGAXjD1I1hA6wqHGpLE2X9hX9d87nGEKm4cFr-7iWME_PeBlZwWV6qC8odPWIaVv50MiE_FJIhuAggTc7BYae-jFAL5Pa8rdS92WO3E06aJm1O2oeyG05e49N2lJLeVn16nHFglyrE_FYLieUDkdAK0-Zs For more details about the cryptogtaphic aspect :

"To attempt to establish a foundation for insisting Oxford is Shakespeare in this manner is truly a form of cognitive delinquency and infantile nonsense that would likely embarrass & mortify an intelligent child. To present the meaningless coincidences that John de Vere, sixteenth Earl of Oxford and John Shakspere shared the same Christian names, their wives were named Anne, with daughters named Susan and Susanna (I assume it was their wives who gave birth to them) and to round it all off Oxford and Shakspere were born within the same zodiacal framework, is just absurd baloney off all scales.

The Baconian-Rosicrucian Masques (1605-1613) and Grand Master of England Inigo Jones The text examines the Baconian-Rosicrucian masques staged at the Jacobean court between 1605 and 1613, highlighting the secret involvement of Sir Francis Bacon. It reveals that these elaborate theatrical productions, officially attributed to Ben Jonson and architect Inigo Jones, served as vehicles for a hidden Baconian-Rosicrucian philosophy for the benefit of humanity. The paper shows that Bacon utilised these masques to influence and to establish the founding of the United States of America and a Universal Reformation of the Whole World. These key masques The Masque of Blackness and The Masque of Queens acted as precursors to the Rosicrucian manifestos, the Fama Fraternitatis and Confessio Fraternitatis published shortly after in 1614 and 1615. Ultimately, the text reveals the Baconian-Rosicrucian court masques was used as a sophisticated dramatic device for the philosophical and esoteric messaging that formed part of a hidden plan for the future direction and benefit of humanity.

That's BINGO! on my Card! Good research Rob and Thank you Francis Bacon!

The Baconian-Rosicrucian Masques (1605-1613) and Grand Master of England Inigo Jones The court masques of 1605–1613 were more than royal entertainments: they sowed the seeds of the Enlightenment, Freemasonry, and a Universal Reformation, while also anticipating the first Rosicrucian manifesto in 1614.

I started with Psalms 46, but then saw more. AI helped me express myself: Yann, your observation about Bacon's tempest brings another intriguing connection to mind! In his 1621 letter to King James, Bacon writes: "When I enter into myself, I find not the materials of such a tempest as is comen upon me." But consider how Bacon begins that same letter: "I fly unto your Majesty with the wings of a dove" Now turn to Psalm 55 in the 1611 King James Bible: "O that I had wings like a doue; for then would I flee away and be at rest." And just two verses later: "I would hasten my escape from the windie storme, and tempest." The dove, the flight, the longing for rest, and the tempest. The parallels are striking, particularly when we remember that Bacon was writing to King James during the political storm that brought about his downfall. And there is another dimension to Psalm 55. The Psalmist laments the betrayal of someone who had once been his close companion: "For it was not an enemie that reproached me, then I could haue borne it." The Psalm continues with the sorrow of a broken friendship. Against this background, your observation about Bacon's essay Of Friendship becomes especially interesting. Bacon describes friendship as bringing daylight to the understanding and relief from storms and tempests. And as you point out, Tobie Matthew remained his devoted friend through his downfall. Could Bacon's language in the letter be a deliberate echo of Psalm 55? The verbal correspondence certainly invites the question. What a fascinating intersection of friendship, betrayal, refuge, and the tempest!

I tried to find a Bacon quote about quotes with no luck. Even the few times in Shakespeare where the word "quote" shows up, it seems to have a different meaning than it does today. So I wonder what "Quote of the Day" would mean to Bacon? 😉

Fun! Nice touch for September Eleven. Meaningful timing. Lot's of new stuff for me, including some new ideas from behind the veil. 😉 So let's pretend everything about Bacon; his life, his plan, his works that can be told to the World is the Light A (157), and then the Dark A (287) is the practical and natural magic of how it works? The gift. That includes seeing between the lines, recognizing synchronicity, experiencing visions, nurturing creativity, performing real cipher work, and simple pure openness to the signals all around us. We can actually hear Bacon, and Dee among others, when we master the Dark A. Then we totally get what they are telling us, understanding from their perspective. As if they are sitting right here with us. I only speak one language; English. I wish I could talk it more better. 😉

I woke up this morning thinking about 9-11-2001. Today is exactly 25 years, and I suppose I was trying once again to make some sense of that day and what it has meant in my own life. For me there is another memory permanently attached to that date. It was late in the day on SEPTEMBER ELEVEN, TWO THOUSAND ONE, after the horror of that morning, that I first recognized the remarkable 26-letter cipher patterns in what later became a Key in the Sonnets Pyramid design. 1, 27, 53, 79, 105, 131, 157, 183, 209, 235, 261, 287, 313, 339, 365 That discovery, and especially with the numbers 157 and 287, changed the direction of my research and ultimately a good part of my life. So this morning I was thinking about all of that. Maybe even a little tormented by it. For 25 years I've sometimes felt that something personally amazing that happened to me that day was forever swallowed up by something unimaginably terrible that happened to all of us. And then, of all mornings, something completely unexpected happened. A distant relative reached out to me through a DNA match. We share the same great-grandfather and great-grandmother, the Hales, and that opened up a family connection I had never explored. And that's how, this morning, I learned about an ancestor I never knew I had. Sir George Bond (c. 1534–1592) Lord Mayor of London, 1587–88. Bond. George Bond. LOL! Needless to say, that got my attention. I've only been digging into George for a matter of hours, but already I'm finding him surrounded by names that should make a few people on this forum raise their eyebrows. During the developing Spanish Armada crisis, a Privy Council communication of March 1588 instructed Sir George Bonde, Lord Mayor of London, to have 10,000 men in readiness, including 6,000 organized under captains and ensigns. They were intended for the defense of London and, if required, for the “safeguard of her Majesty's person.” And who was behind those instructions? Among the names were: William Cecil, Lord Burghley. Sir Francis Walsingham. And... Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. I'll just leave that last name sitting there for my Baconian friends. 😉 Two months later, in May 1588, Queen Elizabeth herself sent for Lord Mayor George Bond to come to her at Greenwich, in the midst of London's preparations for the approaching Spanish threat. His correspondence with Elizabeth's government survives among the Burghley Papers. I'm also beginning to find George in the same London civic world as Henry Billingsley, another Haberdasher and future Lord Mayor—the Henry Billingsley whose English Euclid contains the famous Mathematicall Praeface of Dr. John Dee. There are other connections beginning to appear as well, including Sir John Fortescue, the Armada, anti-Spanish privateering, and people associated with the political and intelligence world that A. Phoenix has been researching around Francis and Anthony Bacon. I am not suggesting that I've discovered that my ancestor George Bond was one of Bacon's spies. I've known the man existed for only a few hours! But I think I'm going to enjoy finding out who he knew. And now comes the really ridiculous part. Everyone here already knows the old fun: BACON = 33 BOND = 33 Simple Cipher. We've kicked that one around before. Nothing new there. And Bond, of course, is 007. LOL My own computer business has been called 007 Computer for around 20 years. But I didn't name it for James Bond. I named it because of Dr. John Dee and the familiar 007 tradition that has circulated among Dee and Bacon researchers for many years. Whether that interpretation of Dee's symbol can ultimately be proved is beside the point here. It was Dee—not James Bond—who inspired my 007. So I already knew: BACON = 33. BOND = 33. Bond = 007. And I had been calling my business 007 Computer for almost twenty years because of John Dee. There was only one little detail I didn't know. Apparently, I am a Bond. LOL! And apparently an Elizabethan Bond who was receiving instructions from Burghley, Walsingham and Dudley, was summoned to Greenwich by Queen Elizabeth, and was living and working among some names that are already very familiar to all of us. I'm certainly not ready to rewrite the history of James Bond. Yet. 😉 And one last thought just for fun... Long before there was a fictional James Bond serving Her Majesty, there was a real Sir George Bond whose surviving records actually speak of the “safeguard of her Majesty's person.” So maybe we've had the wrong Bond all these years. 😉 The original Bond? Bond. George Bond.
