Here are some ideas ...

The (Death) SONG of the SWAN ?

HARP (LYRA) ?

I count 287 letters.

Interestingly, G is the 80th letter (TTTT)

And by playing with the numbers ...

S is letter 56 (FR. BACON)

W is letter 70 (Sod)

A is letter 148 ( WILLIAM TUDOR)

N is letter 100 (FRANCIS BACON)

SWAN : 56+70+148+100 = 374

374th page of the First Folio :

And talking about the death-song of the Swan and the month of October ...

The Shepheardes Calender (1579)

 

That's quite elegant to get the Swan Song coming out of this.  I guess we can start to think of Bacon's Swan Song in Sylva Sylvarum as another SS suggestion. I've done quite a bit of this sort of analysis with the text part of the Sylva Sylvarum cover illustartion. Wouldn't hurt if you had a look there also. Another set of eyes...There's a suggestion of the syzygy there, imo.

The ratio I feel may have stood out to Bacon is that 223/287=0.777=777/1000 where 1000 is the ten centuries suggestion (SS is a work in ten centuries). Item 777 in century VII concerns what is a better way to chose the "seats of one's dwellings" than what astronomers might offer by their figures. How very a propos to what I am considering...

223 is the periodicity of the Saros cycle in synodic months. Eclipse number 33 in Saros 128 occurred on day 223 in the year, 1561, Bacon was born (an impressive coincidence). 

1561 and 1651 are palindromes. They are 5 eclipses apart in that Saros cycle. in 1651 the annular solar eclipse is on day 287. A better way to approximate the date of the eclipse is to use what is called the Inex cycle approximation. The Saros can be roughly estimated by considering the ratio 484/223, the Inex 777/358. Both these ratios come from the continued fraction estimation which allows for the synodic and draconic months to eventually align. 483/223=2.170403587 ; 777/358=2.170391061. The Inex is a bit more precise than the Saros. Anyone looking for coincidences would surely start to observe 223 and 777 appearing.

George Stirk was hot on the trail of this eclipse suggestion in 1651. He had apparently worked it out in European alchemical works.

The data is here: Solar Saros 128 - Wikipedia

The 1651 eclipse path looks like this:

It's the starting points (to the left we ought to focus on here. The band of visibility incorporates terrestrial locations that are the first to view this eclipse. They are in Newfoundland and near the Caicos (Great Turk suggestion). If the Southernmost location was on land it would be on an island West of Peru (where Bacon had placed his New Atlantis in his allegory). The red band is where you would see the complete ring of fire of the annular eclipse. The center point shown here is simply the midway point of the region offering perfect visibility.

It appears a half saros is interesting as well. 🙂

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saros_(astronomy)

After a given lunar or solar eclipse, after 9 years and 5+1⁄2 days (a half saros, or sar) an eclipse will occur that is lunar instead of solar, or vice versa, with similar properties.^[21]

Hi C.J, here is something (very quickly right before to go to work) that I noticed at a first glance in chapter 777 of S.S.

DISCOVERY : ME, I AM SWAN 

 

[RoyalCraftiness]

The swan song: Swan song - Wikipedia

"In Greek mythology, the swan was a bird consecrated to Apollo, and it was therefore considered a symbol of harmony and beauty..."

The Swan (Cygnus)and the Lyre (Lyra) are two of the constellations in the Summer Triangle. The third is the Eagle (Aquila). 

 

[RoyalCraftiness]

The local solar system Oct. 14, 1651 viewed with Celestia 1.6.2.2.

Not only are we seeing a solar eclipse at this date, we can also see that Saturn, Mars and Mercury are forming a very nice and rare alignment. If we were to move back and look at the ecliptic plane as a horizon, all three bodies would appear as one location with Earth and Venus on either side of the Sun. From Earth (where an observer would stand) Mars and Saturn would be on opposing sides of the Sun. Mars and Jupiter (it's not shown due to scale) would be approaching an alignment. Venus would be opposite to the observer on the other side of the Sun (hidden by it). This is very much evocative of this image depicting the philosopher's stone:

There's an obvious suggestion of planetary alignments here. The 6 bodies + Earth are implicated. The dragon which is quite often shown to us as eating its tail is here not wrapped around the circle but breathing fire . The ancient idea here is that the Solar eclipse is the dragon swallowing the Sun (an ancient way of thinking about that). The 1651 annular "ring of fire" Solar eclipse offers a nice visual suggestion of the Dragon's fire wrapped around the Moon to Earthly observers.

Here is a side view of the moon approaching the Sun minutes before the Oct.14, 1651 eclipse.  The exact moment can be seen looking back to Earth with the Celestia app. here:

The central dark region to the right of Brazil here is the perfect aligned spot. You can match that exactly to the NASA produced slide for 38 Saros 128 I showed previously.

With a bit of maths we can all become time travelers to some events.

The Rebis is considered to be the end product of the Great Work. It has a dual nature. It is both related to birth and death where the two coincide (ends are beginnings and beginnings are ends).  The Great work likely had a meaning for Bacon that was related to the completion of his own cycle which started in 1561. In it he envisioned a Great work of his own doing which involved laying down the corner stone for great Temple of Learning.

As an aside, the years around 1651 coincide with the missing years in Thomas Bushell's life (he allegedly went into hiding in this time). There are rumblings in some of Bushell's biographies that he had sailed to a far off destination to lay a corner stone for his master's Temple to complete a promise he had once made (here some will have us conclude that it was to Bacon). You may have encountered that mentioned in some of the older specualtions about Bacon and Oak Island (some of that is on SirBAcon). It's not something I feel is easy to comment about. What I feel we are safe in saying is that Bacon did have an eye on the North American coast from very early days when he was planning his colonization efforts with Great Circle considerations. Is it possible that someone played a role in marking off the position (44.4N and 66.6 W of Paris) for him or on his behalf? I don't see why not. It really all depends on how committed one would be to see something Bacon valued be realized. From where I stand I would dearly love to know why there was a small island there called Hobson's Nose which has a historical reference to the retrieval of something in 1830 which also served as a source of details for the later stories at Oak Island nearby. There is something about all this that reeks of paying homage to something or someone. Much of what we read is doing that on paper, but did it extend to a physical location?

I do feel the Oak Island stories are Masonic contrivances of ca. 1762, but it is much less clear with Hobson's Nose what happened there. I find it very satisfying that a mystery associated to it can be suggested, one which offers no hope of ever solving it. It is exactly as it should be for it to resemble the impossibility of squaring the circle or changing lead into Gold. Hobson's Nose is now mostly eroded away into the waters, a fate its close cousin Atlantis suffered.

Are we having fun yet? Do we have to dig up something to find a treasure? Not the type Bacon wanted to give you. The treasure is often right under your nose. That would be my cat who is in my lap right now. : )

This morning I had not the time to expand my thinking facing the Experiment 777 of Sylva Sylvarum.

https://archive.org/details/sylvasylvarumorn00baco/page/164/mode/2up

Maybe it is a coincidence but "I" is the 59th word and "am" the 60th word.

Thus I am = 59+60=119 that is the simple cipher of MEDIOCRIA FIRMA , Francis Bacon's motto, knowing that we have the anagram of SWAN right in the middle.

Most of all, I smiled facing the word "diligence" because I saw it as the answer to a question I asked myself few days ago in the making of a future video.

If you are looking for a link with the frontispieces of Francis Bacon's books, here is a suggestion ...

After having found the two columns of the Temple Yachin and Boaz concealed in this passage, I felt that "my diligence" right between the two columns was of first importance.

The word "diligence" appears 11 times in Shakespeare's works.

"My diligence" = 101 (simple cipher)

https://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/search/search-results.php

And among the 11 "diligence" one of them immediatly cought my attention ...

The one in Pericles, Prince of Tyr , published in 1609 (4 squared, 3 squared) the same year as Shakespeare's Sonnets and "The Wisdome of the Ancients" by Francis Bacon.

And guess on which page is the word "diligence"?

On page ...  33 ! 🙂 

https://internetshakespeare.uvic.ca/Library/facsimile/book/BL_Q1_Per/33/index.html%3fzoom=700.html

And this is an interesting passage ! 🙂

DISCOVERY : ME, I AM SWAN 

 

Here's a start in Sylva Sylvarum with a typical proximity letter cipher of the sort I suspect is used in various places to inform the wording of the text. Swan, Luna, Sol, Lyra, Saturn...even Anulus can be teased out of the top left corner. Funny that you would mention "I SWAN". I drew a circle centered at the g in the middle and had it go through the center of the only other G. Going around it, it intercepts two periods, 4 "S"s, 2 "Os" and " HIS SWAN).  It's the potential "Hobson's Nose" suggestion within that circle  that I find intriguing. Look at how that S has a unique script e in front of it. There's nothing like it anywhere else on that page. Incidentally. A line through the center of the Os in "Autho" and "Of" joins the period after "centuries". A line going through the Os in "Or" and "History" intercepts the Mid point of the S in Sylva. There's a triangle there that I will have to look at more closely now that I have seen the 70, 55, 55 one elsewhere.

Day 223 in 1561, Day 287 is 1651, there is enough right there for me to be happy for many hours.

Oh the Simple pleasures, miscalled simplicity. 😉

Oak Island? I am guilty of leaning towards what I like. I have loved Williamsburg since I was 11 or 12 years old. Oak Island looks nice, but the TV show almost turned my stomach after a while horrified that Bacon would be so ignorant to bury his handwrittten manuscripts in a Treasure in wooden whatevers to rot over the next centuries on an island where high tide might seep into any buried anything.

Plus the TV personalities did not grab me much. They were OK, but I'd relate and like them better as dinosaur bone hunters I am sure. Jake of some Oak Island fame is a member here, but when he refused to back up his biliteral cipher "discovery" it just added another level to the Oak Island myth that turned me off.

Trying to be as much like Bacon taught us as possible, for me, I am slowly opening back up to it a little. I am hearing you CJ. In fact Nova Scotia looks like a wonderful place to visit. My brother went back to Vermont yesterday and shared stories of NS on his hiking and weekend ventures from Vermont. Sounds divine. Definitely very beautiful.

And yes, "Treasures" do not have be rotten remains from deep in the soil. "Treasures" certainly can be nurtured remains of Knowledge from Deep in the shadows.

And I love cats. Especially lap cats. 🙂

Very interesting indeed ! 🙂 

I will take a look.

Here is a suggestion for the sphere right above with a possible alchemical connection ...

A connection between Sylva Sylvarum and Emblem 17 : De Secretis Natura (Atalanta Fugiens - 1618) ?

The Oak Island we know of today is an evolution of pop culture narratives and acute media sensationalism, I'm afraid. It's gone the way of P.T. Barnum. You'd probably think I follow that, but I haven't. That bubble burst for me in the mid 80s.  However, I am interested in the writings of those earliest commenters who seemed to instantly grasp what was going on there.  The most interesting period in that island's history is ca. 1760, a time when the people involved with the show appear to assume the place was pristine and not even discovered. Like a lot of stuff on History channel, it's not really history they are interested in. How Bacon got implicated is a story of its own. It was the dominant idea there in the 1890s-1930 period. Peter Amunden revived it greatly, but he also neutered it at the same time.

SwAN is right there in our face to see.

Funny, the word. Using the Baconian 24 letter codes:

S=18
W=21
A=1
N=13

So the first three numbers of SWAN are 182.

18 21 1 13 (S W A N).

ONE EIGHTY TWO is 157 Simple and 287 Kaye ciphers, THE secret Shakespearean Seal numbers.

WILLIAM TUDOR I is 157 Simple and 287 Kaye, as is FRA ROSIE CROSSE.

Anybody know that SWAN SONG is 157 Kaye cipher?

You just inadvertently showed me something I wasn't considering about SWAN. Its etymology is from the Proto Indo Europen SWEN. It has the (N)orth), (W)est, (S)outh) and (E)ast baked in it.  When we specify the swan we are locating ourselves using a quaternary. This is giving me a bit of light bulb moment now. Remember Herge recounting the T T mystery to us? Here's the clue that unlocks the solution.

If you punch in those coordinates into a map you' ll find your are in the approximate region of the Caicos that coincides with the mid point of the left hand side of the zone of visibility of the eclipse in question (on the mid line which goes through the bull's eye center. This is now triggering in me the idea that one can calculate some very useful things with observations made at the extremities and center of the band of visibility. This is largely how Ptolemy described the method for measuring the ratio of Earth-Sun to Earth-moon distances. During a total solar eclipse the relative size of the moon completely obscures the Sun (but it may be a bit larger). In an annular eclipse you get the to approach that ratio by seeing the moon just a bit smaller (in relative size than the Sun's face).  The period in question was a period when such observations were being made based on experiments that scientists were planning on paper with geometric considerations. Off to Claudius Ptolemy I am going to refresh myself...

The share another similar concept is Williamsburg VA. I have my own reasons for liking Williamsburg as a "buried Treasure" spot. And I think it is at least one. The Rockefeller's (Skull and Bones) dug up parts of Williamsburg in the early 1900s seeking the Treasure of what they thought might here. Marie Hall felt Bacon left a Treasure here for us as well.

However, as a warning to all, I have been aware of and even harassed to join a weird cult or con-artist trap by a person or organization who uses Williamsburg as a tempting fruit. Way too many stories of people who lost all their money and when it ran out were kicked to the curb never having a reward.

I also understand whoever/whatever it is has lawyers who are aggressive to quiet anyone who speaks up. Personally I have never pursued a relationship with them. I was warned by more than one trusted friend early on and what I have read was enough of a red flag to stay away. On the other hand, I have had many conversations with fantastic people who are involved in seeking Bacon's treasures as well. At least one experienced Rosicrucian back in 2004-2005 that I know for sure knew a lot about Williamsburg.

It's been hard sometimes to talk about Williamsburg as I do not want anyone to get scammed or ripped off by a con-artist if they start to search for an adventure. But I Love that city and its history, and the Star at William and Mary is very exciting to me.

It's buried in details that most people will never sort through because they'd rather attack it using a muscle not found in their skulls.  In that regard it is right under their noses. I am always quite impressed by those who search for what they cannot name. lol They'll know when they find it, I suppose. Such rosy outlooks...American revivalist Rosicrucianism is a wild ride.  It may have given us Star Trek, though...not all bad.

The cat's name is Luna. The other is called Sol. I'm not terribly into this, am I? Oddly, they can't stand each other's company. It is a very rare moment when we ever see them sleeping together. Will have to check the Saros series to see if it is predictive of their behavior. : )

Yes, but in this configuration showing the annulus:

The same 2 inner circles stacked inside of the larger circle is how Bacon understood the motion of the Sun and Earth (he was not a proponent of heliocentricity). There's a context clue in the positioning of the words "mundus intellectuallis). The Droeshout portraint is constructed the same way.

As you can see the circle goes through the center of the two Os in London. This is a classic theme.

To find the original seed idea for this go to Claudius Ptolemy (I seem to be referring to him a bit today). Robert Fludd absolutely gobbled up this idea. In his various images suggesting "harmony of the spheres".

Bacon's idea of planetray motion was shared with Tycho Brahe. The planets turned around the Sun but the Sun turned around the Earth. It would have looked something like this (I have added circles in red to show the equivalence with what is here).

I guess my whole life I felt like I was a puppet in a comedy adventure from one wild experience into another. People I have known and loved cover most of the religions I have ever heard of, and most of the important organizations I've heard of as well. Along the way I collect some knowledge and a few experiences acquiring a little wisdom from everyone.

You make me question what is beyond where I am.

For me the Treasure Hunter level has always worked well for my happiness and even my self-worth. I seek and find, always a thrill. So many paths to follow all with rewards. So few people who care so its wide open. For me it is a real purpose. There is a purpose. It matters on some level.

In Utah, hiking around when you know the geography of the area, hillsides wind barren with pastel colored layers of sand (greenish, grayish, reddish, yellowish, purplish, etc) they tell you that if you are patient and keen, you'll find a dinosaur bone. Earth's treasures.

Pick up a bone six millions years old or more. Hasn't been of interest to any living thing since it died. You study it, feel it. It was once alive, and probably a giant. It lived, and now you are connecting back to the living being even over millions of years. Does it matter to our collective Life on Earth?

Bacon was only 400 years ago. And very exciting to learn about. 🙂

In my Bacon journey both Freemasons and Rosicrucians are teachers. Of Freemasons, Dodd of course was huge. I've spent at least 100 hours on the phone with Rick Wagner talking about Bacon and Freemasonry over at least 10 years. Seriously it may be 200 hours. With Rosicrucians, I never 100% knows if I am speaking with a Rosicrucian. Nobody has ever told me they are a Rosicrucian in words. Sometimes it is more than obvious anyway. I've known more Rosicrucians than Freemasons I am sure. And a few other clubs have appeared also. But those two are the most Baconian. I've met self-proclaimed Freemasons who have no clue who Bacon is. When I say anything about Bacon the blank look on their face is not faked. On the other hand I have been taught lessons from people who I am sure are Freemasons and never spoke it. Rosicrucians I have met already know about Bacon. Or maybe more accurate is I've only met Baconian Rosicrucians?

The Grateful Dead and the Merry Pranksters may be the most important teachers in my life. Hard to say. All I can say is everything has led up to this day. Its a good day.

But maybe my path goes nowhere but a good time. A VERY good time indeed, but cycles that go faster every year. What is beyond?

I don't have time to be a prophet and save the world. I'd love to, but my dad and wife need me.

On a personal level, I've "seen the Light" in numerous ways all very Spiritual alone in the wilderness and in crowds of thousands all dancing. Not many written texts describe an ultimate destination for mystics or religious seekers that I can't reference to something I remember vividly. An NDE in 1991 or so on K when I went "back home" to the Warmth, Love, and Light from where we came and as I was brought back here I laughed so hard in disbelief of what we are here on Earth when I was close enough and saw the "row of tin cans" where I lived as a typewriter repair business human, resisting the return back into that. But I was "not done on Earth." LOL

My "immortal purpose" in Life is discovering the Sonnets Pyramid and its relation to Bacon and Shakespeare. How important is that? Might fade away a few years after I pass on. Or not.

What is beyond the Treasure Hunting phase? Is the grass greener there. Sure is green here.

Can I do more for the future of humanity than I do now by being happy and silly feeding positive ripples into the Universe as much as I can?

Its all I can do to pay house payments, electric bills, cable/internet is a big one, water bill, so on on the physical level.

🙂

Am I blinded by yet another Veil too lazy to try to pierce? All of you beyond already laughing at me, wondering when I'll wake up so I can be with you even more.

There are crumbs which we try and make stories with here too. I find it very interesting to go to the shore here and pick away at a visible layer in the cliff layers which is about 325 million years old. Pretty much everything that ever happened in that window of time is pancaked into what isn't much more than a fossilized stain in the rock. Occasionally something pops out that is a faithful cast of what once was. I'll pick those up and they will serve as dust collectors for me in my life. That's a hell of a lot of cumulated effort to arrive to just that. The weird thing is that all these remnants will all one day be sucked into a black hole which in time will evaporate. There's a cycle we are riding in that is that long. Infinity is a big place. Imagine being conscious throughout an infinity of time...The thought of it makes me want to sleep through most of it. There is a Chinese proverb that says that fortune comes to those who sleep well. It kinda feels that way when one has a good night's sleep doesn't it. My life got so much better when I discovered napping throughout the day. I swear it makes weeks feel like they are much longer.

My Cpap is one of the most important possessions I own. I even have a special always charged battery for it in case our power goes out.

Yesterday we lost power as Duke Energy has been replacing our old hurricane beatup telephone poles around here with these huge strong brand new poles and they connected us to the new grid between 10 am and 3 pm. I couldn't do any work, no internet or electricity, no SirBacon.org on my PC, but had my battery backup and my Cpap. What a nice nap without any other electric humming, buzzing, or motors running in our home. Sounded like the days after a hurricane knocks out our power every few years or so.

You remind me, all my Baconian and other little objects I've gathered need dusted around my work area.

I'm going to bed now, will sleep nice. My head full of Bacon thoughts is like floating along on a magic carpet into Infinity and Eternity. My dreams have been pleasant lately. 🙂

EDIT: Something new for me to think about in my head learned here, "While sleeping, be vigilant."

Here's a start in Sylva Sylvarum with a typical proximity letter cipher of the sort I suspect is used in various places to inform the wording of the text. Swan, Luna, Sol, Lyra, Saturn...even Annulus can be teased out of the top left corner. Funny that you would mention "I SWAN". I drew a circle centered at the g in the middle and had it go through the center of the only other G. Going around it, it intercepts two periods, 4 "S"s, 2 "Os" and " HIS SWAN).  It's the potential "Hobson's Nose" suggestion within that circle  that I find intriguing. Look at how that S has a unique script e in front of it. There's nothing like it anywhere else on that page. Incidentally. A line through the center of the Os in "Autho" and "Of" joins the period after "centuries". A line going through the Os in "Or" and "History" intercepts the Mid point of the S in Sylva. There's a triangle there that I will have to look at more closely now that I have seen the 70, 55, 55 one elsewhere.

Ok, a profitable idea here is that four "S"s and two "O"s in that circle is pointing to the Greek word Sossos (unique to involve these letters). It's a close relative of the Greek word Saros which we can pick out in the image by proximity too (using the "S A" of S Alban and the "O rs" below it). A Sossos is a unit of 60. A Saros is a unit of 60x60. There is also a Neros in the family. I can see it from proximity also using the "en" in ten and moving upward. It's equal to 600 so why not use the word "ten" for 60x10? That would make it equal to 2 Tau or TT. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but the 60th letter is the small "g", the center. The Swan in the Summer triangle is housed in the corner of its triangle which is equal to 60 degrees. Swan and Sossos given around the circle centered at the 60h position are a bit too many coincidences for me to pass that off as fortuitous.

This starts to suggest something else. The center of the circle, as well as the nest of the swan, is a tabernacle or "house of the divine". We can start to reconcile some of the Christian iconography with that.

The entire thing seems to be a play on Esses (S). We can involve the ess shaped serpent in it, he who holds the golden apple of knowledge here which Atalanta was tricked with in "Atalanta Fugiens" which you have mentioned. Add an inclined cross which employs "ss", and why not include a spear or two for decor.  Culminate with the Saint-Sacrement for good measure. If our lips are still moist enough we should not forget to utter Cygnus when we devise our tongue-twister. I am half-tempted to go write a tune called the "Sexagesimal song of Sossos the celestial Swan".

I suppose it is only appropriate for the new Star in Cygnus to have appeared in the year 1600.  There are three young here, no? Similar to the three new stars that had hatched, I suppose (1572, 1600 and 1604).

Is this not an homage to the Chaldeans who started us off in number and geometry with 60? Or is to the Greeks who gave us the sacred 10 with the monad number 6? Is Bacon not pointing us to our empirical roots here? Clever guy...These things are so well put together it's humbling. Not a bad effort for a Swan Song on his part. A+ for effort Francis. Rawley did say there was something in the numbering of Sylva Sylvarum that was related to a secret...

It's a pleasure to hunt with you Rob ! ❤️

Talking about song, I don't know if it is the Swan Song but it is the song of Emblem 17😊

Emblem 17

https://furnaceandfugue.org/atalanta-fugiens/emblem17.html

77 is the simple cipher of MINERVA

76+77=153

153 is a triangular number, the sum of the integers from 1 to ... 17 !

And 153 is link to the Vesica Pisces (The measure of the Fish).

Going forward I will use Maier's "Orbita Quadruplex" expression for this:

SS atop it, AA below. Hang Hog in full prominence hanging on the central Vesica divider...

This brings me back to the use of the 1,2,3,4 in the image of the Magnum Opus. It is apparent here that what is being done is to not only show the first polygons. We are shown how each number depicts the number of arcs which are defining a circle. A point is defining one full circular arc division on the circle. A line gives 2 circular arc divisions of the circle. A triangle gives 3, and a square gives 4. If the radius here is one unit in length then the line is a diameter of 2 units in length. The side of the triangle is the square root of 3 in length and the side of the square is the square root of 2 in length. The numbers shown are therefore not lengths or number of sides. They uniquely point to the divisions of a circle. The radius of 1 here makes the circumference of the circle be 2pi (mathematically speaking, 2pi is the definition we give for the constant we call Tau today). If we think as pi as a symbol of form TT then 2pi it TT TT which we may sing out as the number 40 (the accepted historical declination for the constellation of Cygnus).

The Orbita Quadruplex above came out of the occasion of four arcs spelled out in the text that served to define the first circle which is centered on the U(you) in Thou.  At the very center of all of this is "Home", the tabernacle suggestion.
