I am Alpha and Omega.

[Allisnum2er]

Hello,

I just came back from a week-end away with friends and yesterday afternoon we went to a market flea.

At the market flea's entrance there were TWO PILLARS ! I smiled.

I interpreted that as the sign that I was on the right Path and in the right place.

I was sure that something was waiting for me indoors.

Here is what I found 😊...

SHAKESPEARE FROM A TO Z ... or almost ! (1988)

I smiled again. From A to Z or from the beginning to the end ... from Alpha to Omega !

Why "or almost" ?

Because this book ,in the form of a dictionary, ends in fact with the Letter Y and the word "YORK"! 😀

But the letter Z is mentionned on top of the very first page of the book through a quote of King Lear.

Thou, whoresome zed !

Thou unnecessary Letter !

And who do you think I ran into right after Shakespeare ?

This is the "Ditchley Portait" by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger (c.1592)

I talked about this Portrait at the very beginning of this thread !

Thus we come full circle ! 😊

 

[Allisnum2er]

Let us return to the page 74 of Henry the Fourth (Part 2).

Francis Bacon left us another big clue ...

Amazing new discoveries! 2nd Part of Henry IV has always been a playground for me. I've considered it was a required Bacon Cipher 101 to be on the First Folio (good pens) team before 1623. 😉

Up a few posts, you mention 1988?

1+9=10 and 1+0=1 and 1 with 88 to make 188. 😉

Yesterday, I evoked the nine Marble sculptures along the side of the Folger Shakespeare Library.

I noticed that in the 9 (3 by 3) sculptures there were 33 characters in total.

http://stationstart.com/2010/02/folger-marble-sculpture/

33 is the simple cipher of BACON.

This morning, at the awakening, a thought came to my mind.

What if ?

" I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. "

Revelation 22:13 - King James Bible 

I took a closer look at the first and the last sculpture and noticed a similary in the posture of the first and the last character.

It could not be a coincidence ! For me, it was a clue !

Then, I read with great interest the two following great articles by Paul Glenshaw that help me to understand the choice made by Henry and Emily Folger.

https://shakespeareandbeyond.folger.edu/2018/09/11/drawing-shakespeare-a-midsummer-nights-dream-titania-bottom/

https://shakespeareandbeyond.folger.edu/2019/05/31/drawing-shakespeare-bas-relief-henry-iv-part-1/

There’s a document in the Smithsonian’s Archives of American Art dated August 28, 1929, that lists the scenes that Gregory was to depict, according to Henry Folger’s wishes. The first is “Titania with Fairies,” from Act II, Sc. 2 of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. But Gregory carved instead a moment from Act IV, Sc.1—when Titania invites Bottom, still with the head of an ass, to sleep entwined her arms, like “…the woodbine the sweet honeysuckle/Gently entwist; the female ivy so/Enrings the barky fingers of the elm./O, how I love thee! How I dote on thee!”

It would appear Emily Folger changed the scene after her husband’s death. Gregory wrote to her on May 16, 1930, saying, “I will at once set about preparing another version of the Dream, incorporating your plan…” (Paul Glenshaw - Drawing Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night’s Dream -Sept. 2018)

The episode of the changeling childe makes reference to Francis Bacon aka William Tudor (WTI), the child of QUEEN Elizabeth Tudor and de facto PRINCE OF WALES, who has grown up in the Bacon Family.

 

“The essential form of knowledge… is nothing but a representation of truth: for the truth of being
and the truth of knowing are one, differing no more than the direct beam and the beam reflected.”

Francis Bacon -  On Principles and Origins, According to the Fables of Cupid and Coelum.

“I have been induced to think, that if there were a beam of knowledge derived from God upon any man in these modern times, it was upon him.”

Dr William Rawley - Life of Sir Francis Bacon - Resuscitatio (1657)

I just found a message concealed in The Merry Wives of WIndsor, on page 55 (VV), 55 being the gematria of the Hebrew word Kallah, the Bride who in the Jewish tradition is a Queen, seated on her Throne.

It seems to confirm the theory of the Queen Elizabeth Tudor as Fortuna exposed in this Topic.

Time has come to take a closer look at the first page of The Tempest and the last page of Cymbeline. 😊

The Tempest is the last play written by Shake-speare/Bacon and the first play of the First Folio.

" I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. "

Revelation 22:13 - King James Bible 

I  would like to share with you something interesting that I noticed in the New South Wales copy of the First Folio.

It seems that there are two types of "T" at the beginning of the title and two types of "." at the end.

(Please note that it does not work with the Brandeis University copy nor with the Bodleian copy because of a difference in the first letter T on page 5).

 

Interestingly enough, if we do not take in count the T on page 5 (Brandeis University and Bodleian copies) then :

3+9+13+14+15+16+17+19 = 106

106 can be seen as a reference to Christian Rosenkreutz.

Let's take a look at page 156 of the First Folio ...

156 is the number before 157. 286 is the number before 287. 156 and 286 are the end of the road before entering the Secret Seal numbers 157 and 287.

Let's say 156 is as far as you can go without passing beyond those big scary Pillars that sometimes Adventurers seem to never return after passing.

286 is the other shore one has to sit on and decide if one has the courage whether to set forth on that ship to the New Atlantis. 🙂

B ythe way The page 156 is the 174th page of the First Folio with 174 = 100 (FRANCIS BACON) + 74 (WILLIAM/TUDOR)

And I wonder if Francis Bacon used the Kabbalistic rule of Colel applied to the Elizabethan Alphabet.

http://www.masoncode.com/Colel.htm

For example : FRA ROSIE CROSS (Colel -1) = 156

                       WILL SHAKESPEARE (Colel +1) = 156

Edited September 13, 2022 by Allisnum2er

Copy/pasted from the link provided by Yann:

The Rule of Colel

by Freemason | Freemasonry |

http://www.masoncode.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/freemasonry.jpg

The cabalistic rule of ‘colel’ states that one digit can be added to, or subtracted from, the gematria value of a word without affecting its value. This seems to modern ears to be a cheat, however the cabalists explained the rule by pointing out that for them ‘One’ was not a number – the Monad symbolises the Divinity and could come and go as ‘He’ pleased, adding nothing and taking nothing away.

Shakespeare refers to this concept in his Sonnets, when he writes, “Among a number one is reckon’d none.” (1)

The word ‘colel’ seems to derive from the Hebrew verb, ‘KLL’ – to make perfect or whole.

The rule of colel was described by Moses Cordovero in Pardes Rimmonim written in 1549 (later published in Cracow in 1592). A more modern reference to the rule is found in John Michell’s City of Revelation (Garnstone Press, London, 1972, p. 7).

 

Interesting concept that is new to me. Obviously 66/67, 102/103, 156/157 and 286/287 have meaning for me. But what about 32/33 or 33/34? Then also 101/111, 110/111, so on. Even 11/111.

Shakespeare refers to this concept in his Sonnets, when he writes, “Among a number one is reckon’d none.”

That is Line 1897 of the Sonnets in Sonnet 136 during Day 321. I'll save my thoughts for when it comes around in November.  But...

AMONG A NUMBER ONE IS RECKON'D NONE is 287 Simple cipher.

This is the Sonnet when Bacon comes right out and tells who he is in the last line of the Sonnet:

And then thou louest me for my name is Will.

http://www.light-of-truth.com/pyramid-GMT.php#Sonnet136

It'll be fun this November to kick the "Will" Sonnets around. Several years ago I had a fun email dialog with someone who had an incredible theory on the "number one" idea. I'll try to find the messages and share the concept. It was really intriguing.  🙂

" I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. "

Revelation 22:13 - King James Bible 

I would like to share with you something that I recently noticed in a passage of " The Character of Queen Elizabeth" (published in 1696), page 100 (Francis Bacon - Simple cipher) , which I have discussed few weeks ago.

"The one" proved famous for his Prudence was Henry the Seventh , Henry Tudor.

The Hebrew word "achad" right above Q. Elizabeth could be read as :

"The One of" Q. Elizabeth , "The One of" Elizabeth Tudor.

I think that it could be another clue left by BACON to tell us that he was "The One",

 The heir of the House of Tudor !

Repeating from another thread...

I, F BACON, the first Birth.

Yann (Allisnum2er) in the other thread:

Quote

Notice that the I of "I can" is different than the oher "J".

It is clearly on purpose, but I did not find a good explanation yet.

The plain looking "I" is also a number one ("I").

It is strange how all the other capital I's are special with serifs. Makes that one "I" stand out.

😉

One of my very favorite quotes from Sonnet 66, "And simple-Truth miscalde Simplicitie,"

18 of the 36 plays included in Shakespeare's First Folio had not been published by 1623.

18 (3x6) + 18 (3x6) = 36

The number 18 is a clue left by Lord Francis Bacon.

I already shared with you the Secret of the 18th play of the First Folio.

https://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Library/facsimile/book/SLNSW_F1/394/?zoom=850

Francis Bacon concealed a reference to the Title Page of his Book "Instauration Magna" published in 1620.

https://archive.org/details/nby_231406

But the reference is incomplete.

Indeed, the SHIP, the OCEAN and the latin tag   "Multi pertransibunt & augebitur scientia"  (Daniel 12:4) that means "Many will travel and knowledge will be increased" are missing.

The Great One concealed these elements of "Instauratio Magna" 's Title Page elsewhere.

And the Key is the number 18.

Let's take a look at page 18 (36th page of the First Folio) of THE TEMPEST !

https://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Library/facsimile/book/Bran_F1/36/index.html%3fzoom=1200.html

[Allisnum2er]

Yesterday, I received Manes Verulamiani (1626) edited by W.G.C. Grundy in 1950.

Here are the first fruits of my analysis.

It confirms that Francis Bacon is the Son of the Phoenix (Queen Elizabeth).

" I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. "

Revelation 22:13 - King James Bible 

Manes Verulamiani is sealed with the number 33.

There are 33 printed pages :
The Title page
2 pages with the discourse of William Rawley
30 pages with 32 Elegies

And If we consider the text of Rawley as the first Elegy,
then there are 33 Elegies in total.

33 = BACON
(Simple cipher)

[Allisnum2er]

" I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. "

Revelation 22:13 - King James Bible 

"ERGO SVM ALPHA ET OMEGA"

By counting from the Title-page page 8 and 9 are the 11th and 12th pages of the book.

But by counting from the page with the Emblem of the Phoenix they are the 10th and 11th pages.

10+11=21

21 is the numerical value of Eyeh (meaning I AM)

I AM = 22 (simple cipher)

 

"And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said,

Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you."

Exodus 3:14

SUM is the Latin for "TO BE" !

Interestingly, the medians of the 3,4,5 Triangle point to 4 words :

Minerva, the Spear-Shaker, Goddess of Wisdom, Francis Bacon's Muse ; 

Francisce , Francis Bacon himself ;

Letho (or Leto/leda) meaning "hidden" in Latin can be seen as a reference to the story of Leda and the SWAN ;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leda_and_the_Swan

θρηνῳδῐ́ᾱ, the very first Greek word of the book, Threnody, that is another word for Elegy.

"A threnody is a wailing ode, song, hymn or poem of mourning composed or performed as a memorial to a dead person"

(wikipedia)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threnody

I tried to find when the english word Threnody was used for the very first time and it would be in 1634.

Nevertheless, I like the idea that the secret lies in the transliteration of the Greek work in english.

Indeed ...

THRENODY = 103 = SHAKE-SPEARE

 

 

 

 

 

[Allisnum2er]

The Title-page conceals, in my opinion, another secret.

(11 words above the line if we count VICE-COMITIS as one word)

By the way, if we count VICE-COMITIS as two words it gives us 12 words

and 126 is the simple cipher of WILL TUDOR.

But let's come back to the number 116.

For me, this is not by chance if the Sonnet 116 is misnumbered (119).

It underlines the importance of these two numbers.

Interestingly, 119 is the numerical value of "Mediocria firma", Francis Bacon's motto.

But what lies behind the number 116 ?

A first part of the answer lies in Sonnet 116 :

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
       If this be error and upon me proved,
       I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

173 # R(17).C(3) # ROSIE-CROSS

177 = WILLIAM SHAKE-SPEARE

303 # 33 ( 0 is nulle) = BACON

A second part of the answer lies in Mirrour of Maiestie published in 1618 :

https://archive.org/details/mirrorofmaiestie00hggoiala/page/10/mode/2up

Facing the numbers 11 and 6 in this emblem dedicated to Francis Bacon with the famous

"SUB UMBRA ALARUM TUARUM" (Under the shadow of thy wing)

that can be found at the end of the FAMA FRATERNITATIS (1614), the first manifesto of the Order of the Rosy Cross

I felt that these two numbers were important.

Then I learned that 11/6 was the date of birth of ... BEN JONSON ! (11/06/1572).

And I learned that 11/06 was also the St BARTHOLOMEW'S DAY.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholomew_the_Apostle

Interestingly enough, Ben Jonson wrote a Play called "Bartholomew Fayre" first printed in 1631.

https://archive.org/details/workesofbenjamin00jons/page/n28/mode/1up?ref=ol&view=theater

I thought that Ben Jonson would have eventually left a clue in this Play.

Imagine my surprise when I discovered the numbering of the pages in the 1640 edition...

For me it was clearly a clue, indicating a link between 116 and 314.

And here is finally what the numbers 11 and 6 represent for me ...
