- 3:03Speaker 2: So so yeah, so please Ernie, let everybody know what
- 3:09Speaker 2: your deal is and who you are.
- 3:11Speaker 4: So for the new people, yeah, so yeah, Ernie Lebrec,
- 3:15Speaker 4: I'm me and a buddy do Virginia's for conspiracy lovers
- 3:21Speaker 4: podcasts anywhere where podcasts are found. We got a YouTube page,
- 3:26Speaker 4: same name. I did finally change it to where everything's
- 3:31Speaker 4: all the same names, so you can you can actually
- 3:33Speaker 4: find us but on Instagram, Facebook and uh and YouTube.
- 3:40Speaker 2: I can.
- 3:43Speaker 4: But uh, yeah, just a conspiracy nerd that stumbled onto
- 3:48Speaker 4: some of my own like kind of personal research and
- 3:52Speaker 4: decided to start doing a podcast that's kind of a
- 3:56Speaker 4: conspiracy Virginia based because the more from Virginia and the
- 4:01Speaker 4: more and more I looked into it, it's like all
- 4:03Speaker 4: roads led back to Virginia with all the scraps. So
- 4:08Speaker 4: so that's that's where we're at. We've been on hiatus
- 4:10Speaker 4: for a couple of months because I'm moving this studio
- 4:13Speaker 4: out of this closet into the into the garage. So
- 4:18Speaker 4: but we'll be back and we've got some We've got
- 4:20Speaker 4: some bangers, like in the Hole, so nice. But yeah,
- 4:24Speaker 4: check us out. Fure Man makes that happen.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Now. The first show, the last show that you did
- 4:30Speaker 2: was Yet the Nights of the Golden Circle. The Golden
- 4:32Speaker 2: Horseshoe was some shit like maybe that came up.
- 4:33Speaker 4: We did the Golden Horseshoe, Yeah, yeah, which was the
- 4:36Speaker 4: weird expedition trying to find a pass through the Blue
- 4:43Speaker 4: Ridge Mountains by Governor Alexander spots Would and my whole life,
- 4:49Speaker 4: we've all heard the story and it's it's a nothing
- 4:52Speaker 4: story that you hear. There's a little sign in the
- 4:55Speaker 4: Blue Ridge Mountains, little little obelisk monument to it. And then,
- 5:00Speaker 4: of course, like anything in Virginia history, the more you
- 5:04Speaker 4: the more the deeper you get into it, the more
- 5:08Speaker 4: it seems weird. And it, in my personal opinion, by
- 5:12Speaker 4: the end of it, it looked like a a Masonic
- 5:16Speaker 4: like maybe the first Masonic ritual to take place, like
- 5:19Speaker 4: kind of officially it happened like seventeen fourteen, just three
- 5:25Speaker 4: years before, like Masonry's public you know, like kind of
- 5:28Speaker 4: coming out party, and it's we talked about it. It
- 5:35Speaker 4: was just a ton of aristocrats on this expedition across
- 5:42Speaker 4: a mountain to supposedly find the pass through the mountains,
- 5:46Speaker 4: but they'd already found the pass, and like the guides
- 5:49Speaker 4: that took them were the rangers, were the ones who
- 5:52Speaker 4: had already found the pass through the Blue Ridge. And
- 5:55Speaker 4: then they get over the Blue Ridge and they named
- 5:58Speaker 4: the Shenandoah River the Euphrates, and then they crossed the
- 6:02Speaker 4: Euphrates and have this big like party, and just all
- 6:08Speaker 4: the different people on the expedition were just super glowy
- 6:13Speaker 4: Jacobites and Huguenots and Masons and first kind of Virginia families,
- 6:22Speaker 4: and then there was this whole presenting of these guys
- 6:26Speaker 4: when they came back with these golden horseshoe pins that
- 6:32Speaker 4: had jewels in them, and different jewels for different guys.
- 6:37Speaker 4: And the guy the only real account that we have
- 6:40Speaker 4: of it is and I can't remember the guy's name now,
- 6:43Speaker 4: but that guy was crazy, crazy, interesting Huguenot from Ireland
- 6:49Speaker 4: who ended up marrying a woman named Mary Magdalen. And yeah,
- 6:56Speaker 4: it's go back and listen to that one. It's it's weird, man,
- 7:00Speaker 4: It's it's.
- 7:01Speaker 2: I remember you. I remember. There was a lot to it,
- 7:03Speaker 2: Like I felt like there was like a lot of
- 7:04Speaker 2: different things.
- 7:06Speaker 4: Wait, do you waity this nonsense?
- 7:09Speaker 2: I'm gonna awesome listop at you? All right. So I
- 7:13Speaker 2: guess unless anybody's got it something to ask you or whatever,
- 7:16Speaker 2: I guess maybe you could just started off all right,
- 7:20Speaker 2: Oh what made you even come across this? If you
- 7:22Speaker 2: don't mind me asking. It was just like something you
- 7:23Speaker 2: stumble the cross and you're like, oh there's something here, or.
- 7:26Speaker 4: You know, yeah. So I, like I've said before, my
- 7:31Speaker 4: my personal research is based on Williamsburg. I was born
- 7:38Speaker 4: and raised in good old colonial Williamsburg in the shadow
- 7:43Speaker 4: of campus of William and Mary and about seven or
- 7:46Speaker 4: eight years ago, I kind of stumbled into I'd probably
- 7:52Speaker 4: watched National Treasure the Da Vinci Code too recently, and
- 7:57Speaker 4: happened to be down buying a gift for some buddy
- 8:00Speaker 4: in Colonial Williamsburg and noticed a to the two oldest
- 8:06Speaker 4: roads in the country, Jamestown Road and Richmond Road, which
- 8:11Speaker 4: kind of create the Historic Campus. They come to a
- 8:15Speaker 4: point like a triangle, and I think that I saw
- 8:17Speaker 4: that and I was like, oh, I got to look
- 8:18Speaker 4: at this on Google Earth. And then that opened up
- 8:22Speaker 4: a ton of stuff to the point where I took
- 8:24Speaker 4: my research to the director of the Historic Campus and
- 8:28Speaker 4: they were kind of blown away, and I started, you know,
- 8:33Speaker 4: digging into it, and it gets weirder and weirder, and
- 8:36Speaker 4: you eat thinking that I was kind of too dumb
- 8:38Speaker 4: to have figured this stuff out myself, and so I
- 8:41Speaker 4: just kept trying to prove myself wrong. And the more
- 8:44Speaker 4: I dug to prove myself wrong, the more crap I found.
- 8:47Speaker 4: And then I started to find some things that were
- 8:50Speaker 4: absolutely undeniable, Like I shared on one of the episodes
- 8:53Speaker 4: with you guys, the incode of the Great Pyramid of
- 8:56Speaker 4: Giza on that triangle of land that also points directly
- 9:01Speaker 4: to the Great Pyramid of Giza and is the exact
- 9:03Speaker 4: sit So there's all that. So all my personal research
- 9:10Speaker 4: does kind of I say it revolves around Williamsburg and Virginia,
- 9:15Speaker 4: but because of that, that means it revolves around everything.
- 9:19Speaker 4: The beginning of masonry in this country Francis Bacon, and
- 9:23Speaker 4: then from there it just keeps going back and back
- 9:26Speaker 4: and back and forward and forward and forward. And so
- 9:29Speaker 4: for this one, because I lived in Williamsburg and my
- 9:32Speaker 4: mom is a big Shakespeare nerd herself, I've been getting
- 9:38Speaker 4: dragged to Shakespeare plays a year since I was nine
- 9:42Speaker 4: years old. So I've seen everything that the entire Shakespeare
- 9:47Speaker 4: cannon in every format you could think of. William and
- 9:52Speaker 4: Mary has one of the largest Shakespeare festivals in the country,
- 9:57Speaker 4: the Virginia Shakespeare Festival at William and Mary and put
- 10:06Speaker 4: put together in the Phi Beta Kappa Hall. So I've
- 10:10Speaker 4: seen everything from Taming of the Shrew adapted to nineteen
- 10:15Speaker 4: twenties like Cuban Cuban beach style, you know, like traditional
- 10:23Speaker 4: plays and everything in between. And when I was nine,
- 10:27Speaker 4: I couldn't stay you know, I had no idea what
- 10:30Speaker 4: they were saying. What was happening. But the you know,
- 10:32Speaker 4: the the older I got, I kind of learned to
- 10:36Speaker 4: speak the language of Shakespeare and really kind of fell
- 10:39Speaker 4: in love with the plays. And so really one of
- 10:43Speaker 4: the first things that got me into kind of the
- 10:46Speaker 4: conspiracy world was the Shakespeare authorship question. And just to
- 10:51Speaker 4: skip over all the because I've got a lot of
- 10:55Speaker 4: crap here, but we're in the conspiracy world, so I
- 11:02Speaker 4: don't believe that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare, and we can kind
- 11:04Speaker 4: of skip all that. I'm part of the camp that
- 11:07Speaker 4: believes Francis Bacon is Shakespeare, and for me a little differently,
- 11:14Speaker 4: I'm not a total Baconian. I think it was more
- 11:18Speaker 4: Francis Bacon by committee. He had a literary society called
- 11:24Speaker 4: the Society of the Helmet, who just so happened to
- 11:29Speaker 4: contain like all the members were all the different people
- 11:32Speaker 4: that people put forward as possible shapes Shakespeare authors. So
- 11:37Speaker 4: seventeenth Earl of Oxford, the Countess of Penbroke, Sir Walter Raleigh,
- 11:44Speaker 4: William Stratchey, who will play an important role in this research.
- 11:50Speaker 4: So all these guys that they've put forward that could
- 11:53Speaker 4: be the alternative to who wrote the Shakespeare plays were
- 11:58Speaker 4: part of Francis Akeen's literary society called the Society the Helmet,
- 12:03Speaker 4: named after their patron muse Athena, because she wore a
- 12:07Speaker 4: helmet and was known to shake her spear in her
- 12:10Speaker 4: sphere of knowledge in the face of the beast of ignorance. Right,
- 12:16Speaker 4: and then just so happens that a man obsessed with
- 12:18Speaker 4: Francis Bacon, a Williamsburg legend mentor to Thomas Jefferson, is
- 12:28Speaker 4: the man who created what I think is the best
- 12:33Speaker 4: state flag in the Union. It's the only flag with
- 12:36Speaker 4: a booby on it. And that's actually he was obsessed
- 12:40Speaker 4: with Francis Bacon. His name was George with Like I said,
- 12:42Speaker 4: he was the He was Thomas Jefferson's mentor. He was
- 12:46Speaker 4: the reason that Thomas Jefferson became obsessed with Francis Bacon
- 12:50Speaker 4: his whole life. And that is actually Athena wearing her
- 12:54Speaker 4: helmet and holding her spear. That's kind of neither here
- 12:58Speaker 4: nor there, but I forgot that.
- 13:01Speaker 2: I just want to mention real quick, and I mentioned
- 13:02Speaker 2: this a lot of times. I'm just using any excuse
- 13:04Speaker 2: to mention it again. The woman's nipple hanging out that uh,
- 13:09Speaker 2: you know in the Knox formula Crowley's Knox formula. At
- 13:11Speaker 2: some point you you're supposed to be isis like feeding
- 13:14Speaker 2: breastfeeding horse, and you will like you'll make it look
- 13:17Speaker 2: like you're holding a baby and grabbing your nipple. There
- 13:22Speaker 2: is a relationship between the nipple and the child. The
- 13:26Speaker 2: when the child latches its mouth onto the nipple, the
- 13:28Speaker 2: mother's pineal gland will tell the child where it is,
- 13:31Speaker 2: the time season, you know, where it is even on
- 13:33Speaker 2: the planet, what up and down hold is. So I
- 13:36Speaker 2: mean there is actually a very weird, interesting, uh, penal
- 13:39Speaker 2: gland to penal gland conversation going on just from breastfeeding.
- 13:44Speaker 2: So sometimes I wonder if that has anything to do
- 13:46Speaker 2: with some cult science.
- 13:48Speaker 4: I mean, it's got to even if they didn't know
- 13:50Speaker 4: it that deeply, Yeah, they knew that there was that
- 13:54Speaker 4: connection since the beginning of time there So I said,
- 13:58Speaker 4: I wasn't going to get into that whole thing. But
- 14:02Speaker 4: Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare. His name wasn't even Shakespeare's name
- 14:05Speaker 4: was shagspar And there's no evidence that he was literate
- 14:09Speaker 4: or you know, went to school past the fourth grade.
- 14:12Speaker 4: The only thing we have of him is his signature
- 14:15Speaker 4: on like seven different documents. They're all legal documents and
- 14:20Speaker 4: his will because he was kind of a douchebag and
- 14:24Speaker 4: cheating people out of stuff a lot, and so he's
- 14:27Speaker 4: always getting drug into court. And all these signatures are
- 14:32Speaker 4: spelled differently and in different handwriting, So that probably points
- 14:37Speaker 4: to the fact that whoever the other lawyer was or
- 14:41Speaker 4: the judge was the one who signed his name to it.
- 14:43Speaker 4: So we don't even know that Shakespeare or the guy
- 14:46Speaker 4: that they attribute Shakespeare to even was literate. He didn't
- 14:51Speaker 4: own a book that we can tell in his will,
- 14:53Speaker 4: he doesn't leave any books papers. There's never been a
- 14:57Speaker 4: letter written to him or from that anybody's ever found.
- 15:02Speaker 4: The guy wasn't Shakespeare. Bacon with Shakespeare. So that being said,
- 15:08Speaker 4: I got obsessed with this book here, which is this
- 15:12Speaker 4: gigantic tone that I paid a bunch of money for.
- 15:15Speaker 4: It's an effect simile of the first folio of Shakespeare,
- 15:18Speaker 4: the sixteen twenty three that was put together. It's exactly
- 15:23Speaker 4: how it came out in sixteen twenty three. It's just
- 15:27Speaker 4: on a new paper and basically took a historic copy
- 15:31Speaker 4: and from one of the museums and photo copied every
- 15:35Speaker 4: single page. So it's exactly the way that came out
- 15:37Speaker 4: the very first folio. So I get into Shakespeare, I
- 15:42Speaker 4: get into the first folio and some of the weird
- 15:44Speaker 4: things that go on with that. Of course that leads
- 15:47Speaker 4: leads me to Bacon. And then once you get into Bacon,
- 15:54Speaker 4: you obviously you end up down the road of Bacon
- 15:57Speaker 4: created Mason raes by way of Rosicrucianism. You find out
- 16:02Speaker 4: that that the Masons actually claim Shakespeare and Francis Bacon
- 16:08Speaker 4: as kind of founding architects, if you will. And then
- 16:18Speaker 4: when you the further you get into masonry, you start
- 16:21Speaker 4: to if you dig back from masonry modern day masonry,
- 16:26Speaker 4: you eventually fall back into the Stewart the Stewart dynasty,
- 16:35Speaker 4: and that leads you back if you follow the uh,
- 16:40Speaker 4: maternal side of that family all the way back, it
- 16:43Speaker 4: ds you. It brings you all the way back to
- 16:45Speaker 4: the Mayravngians of Dan Brown fame. And really my my
- 16:51Speaker 4: overall thesis of of my research now is that America
- 16:56Speaker 4: was beguying As and Virginia in particular as a breakaway
- 17:02Speaker 4: civilization for the Stuart dynasty. I think it was facilitated
- 17:06Speaker 4: and designed by Francis Bacon. And then it has been
- 17:10Speaker 4: managed and stewarded by the Scottish rite of freemasonry, sort
- 17:15Speaker 4: of a thinly veiled alternative to the monarchy that they were.
- 17:21Speaker 4: But they could see the writing on the wall that
- 17:22Speaker 4: their monarchy, their reign as monarchs in England, Scotland and Ireland,
- 17:28Speaker 4: wasn't gonna last long. The Stuart reign was only about
- 17:32Speaker 4: one hundred years, and I mean they were deposed several times,
- 17:37Speaker 4: kicked off the throne, brought back in, killed, They ran,
- 17:43Speaker 4: They ran the gamut and right at the very beginning
- 17:47Speaker 4: of that dynasty, Francis Bacon working for King James the first,
- 17:54Speaker 4: the first Stuart monarch, right at the beginning of that,
- 18:00Speaker 4: they create the Virginia Company of London and start exploring
- 18:07Speaker 4: the new world, Virginia in particular. And I think that
- 18:11Speaker 4: was I really. The more and more I get into
- 18:14Speaker 4: this stuff, the more I think that America maybe still
- 18:18Speaker 4: but definitely its beginnings were kind of a breakaway place
- 18:23Speaker 4: for the Stewart kind of ideal and this divine right
- 18:28Speaker 4: of kings MAYRAVNGI and bloodline idea, which I don't necessarily
- 18:34Speaker 4: believe that they have any special bloodline, but like any
- 18:37Speaker 4: other you know, monarchy, kind of bloodline. I think that
- 18:42Speaker 4: this Christ's bloodline, divine right of kings was a story
- 18:48Speaker 4: that they used, whether they believed it or not, to
- 18:52Speaker 4: kind of imbue their their dynasty with importance. And I
- 18:59Speaker 4: think they saw the right on the wall and decided
- 19:02Speaker 4: the New World was the place to keep that power
- 19:05Speaker 4: and that control structure going and just do it with
- 19:11Speaker 4: a different with a different face on it. And I think,
- 19:14Speaker 4: right then is where you see America come up and
- 19:19Speaker 4: masonry come up at the same time, and the monarchy
- 19:22Speaker 4: drop off. But then you look at the Scottish right
- 19:25Speaker 4: freemasonry and it is I'm about to show you it's it.
- 19:29Speaker 4: Scottish right freemasonry connects Kabbala, this book right here, the
- 19:36Speaker 4: sixteen eleven King James, Bible, and am I missing something
- 19:43Speaker 4: that's in Francis Bacon all together? So first off, this
- 19:52Speaker 4: first Folio is structured like an initiatory ladder and not
- 19:56Speaker 4: like any of the kind of anthologies of its time.
- 20:00Speaker 4: The First Folio, I'm sorry, yeah, the First Folio first
- 20:04Speaker 4: book in English history to divide dramatic works into three
- 20:07Speaker 4: distinct sections, comedies, histories, and tragedies. But it is identical
- 20:16Speaker 4: logic to an initiatory system, in the three steps there
- 20:22Speaker 4: being purification, advancement, and mastery slash sacrifice, exactly like a
- 20:30Speaker 4: degree system, but published nearly a century before the Scottish
- 20:34Speaker 4: writes thirty three or thirty three degree system. So if
- 20:38Speaker 4: Masonry borrowed from Shakespeare, how did Shakespeare already arrange his canon?
- 20:46Speaker 4: And really not Shakespeare because he didn't exist. But the
- 20:48Speaker 4: people who are who did arrange the first folio of Shakespeare?
- 20:52Speaker 4: How do they arrange it in a multi stage initiation
- 20:56Speaker 4: kind of system. So the sequence of the plays in
- 21:01Speaker 4: the folio kind of mirror that ladder of like esoteric order.
- 21:12Speaker 4: You've got the Tempest, which is an initiation. I've got
- 21:18Speaker 4: a good friend, Robert Frederick. He has a great podcast
- 21:22Speaker 4: called The Hidden Life is Best. He just became on
- 21:26Speaker 4: a whim, a Bacon scholar, and now he digs into
- 21:32Speaker 4: all the Shakespeare works and he just picks them apart
- 21:37Speaker 4: and each i mean two three hour episodes, each one
- 21:39Speaker 4: on a different play, and they're incredible. And so actually
- 21:44Speaker 4: what got me onto this particular track was I was
- 21:48Speaker 4: doing a podcast with him and uh, he had just
- 21:52Speaker 4: he did The Tempest on my suggestion because he had
- 21:54Speaker 4: done Romeo and Juliet, I think as you like it, Macbeth.
- 21:59Speaker 4: And he pulled all these Masonic principles out of there
- 22:02Speaker 4: and really showed how they were, you know, almost undeniably
- 22:07Speaker 4: written by a Rosicrucian for that specific purpose. And he
- 22:11Speaker 4: was asking which one I thought he should do next,
- 22:13Speaker 4: and I was like, the tempest, and the tempest is
- 22:15Speaker 4: near and dear to my heart. Because living in Virginia,
- 22:21Speaker 4: not a ton of people know this, but you know,
- 22:24Speaker 4: sixteen oh seven they sent John Smith and the whole
- 22:26Speaker 4: crew over here, and that whole Pocahontas trip happened, right,
- 22:30Speaker 4: And but they kept dying, They kept getting mrked by
- 22:34Speaker 4: the natives and starving and eating each other. In sixteen
- 22:38Speaker 4: oh eight they sent another supply mission over. They eat
- 22:40Speaker 4: all that food, they're all dying out again. So then
- 22:43Speaker 4: Francis Bacon takes it upon himself and mounts a massive
- 22:47Speaker 4: supply mission, which is nine ships sent from sent from
- 22:52Speaker 4: Plymouth over like six hundred people. They hit a This
- 22:57Speaker 4: is in sixteen oh nine, they hit a hurricane right
- 23:02Speaker 4: around Bermuda, and everybody survives except for two small two
- 23:07Speaker 4: small ships. And that's a whole another route of research
- 23:14Speaker 4: that I'm doing as well, which was some pretty interesting stuff.
- 23:17Speaker 4: But it's a rabbit hole. So two ships disappear forever.
- 23:22Speaker 4: Six ships make it to the Yeah, six ships make
- 23:27Speaker 4: it right away to pretty much right away to Jamestown
- 23:32Speaker 4: to resupply. And during the hurricane, the largest of the
- 23:35Speaker 4: ships crash lands on Bermuda. Purposely, they they shipwrecked themselves
- 23:43Speaker 4: to avoid the storm, and about one hundred people on
- 23:49Speaker 4: that I believe it was about one hundred people were
- 23:51Speaker 4: on that ship, and they disembarked live on Bermuda for
- 23:58Speaker 4: a full year. While they're on Bermuda, they take apart
- 24:00Speaker 4: the old ship, build two new ships, and by sixteen
- 24:04Speaker 4: ten they set sail again and they make it over
- 24:08Speaker 4: to Jamestown. And once they get to Jamestown, one of
- 24:12Speaker 4: the guys who was at Bermuda on the crash landing,
- 24:16Speaker 4: this guy named William Strakeye. William Strakey just happens to
- 24:20Speaker 4: be one of those guys who is in Francis Bacon's
- 24:23Speaker 4: Literary Society. He gets to Jamestown, he writes a full
- 24:30Speaker 4: report of everything that happens that happened for the year
- 24:33Speaker 4: on Bermuda, and he sends it to Francis Bacon's new wife,
- 24:39Speaker 4: and in sixteen eleven, William Shakespeare, or under the name
- 24:47Speaker 4: William Shakespeare, a play is published called The Tempest, and
- 24:51Speaker 4: it's all about a crash landing. I mean there's even
- 24:54Speaker 4: like six names that are used as six characters in
- 24:58Speaker 4: the play have names that are like, if the guy's
- 25:01Speaker 4: name was John, it would be Ron. I mean they're
- 25:04Speaker 4: that close. It's it's ridiculous. The play The Tempest is
- 25:07Speaker 4: about the crash landing number MUDA that was headed to Virginia.
- 25:11Speaker 4: But it is one hundred percent when you break it down,
- 25:15Speaker 4: it is an absolute first initiation into a mystery. It's
- 25:20Speaker 4: it's kind of the crappiest of Shakespeare's plays, I think.
- 25:27Speaker 4: And so you have one of Bacon's buddies writes the
- 25:30Speaker 4: Report of what Happened in sixteen ten, and in sixteen eleven,
- 25:35Speaker 4: that is the last play that this Shakespeare guy ever writes.
- 25:38Speaker 2: Right.
- 25:39Speaker 4: The weird thing is is that it appears first ten
- 25:43Speaker 4: years ten to fifteen years later in the sixteen twenty
- 25:47Speaker 4: three first folio of Shakespeare, right, thirty six plays and
- 25:53Speaker 4: the very last one that he wrote, and arguably kind
- 25:56Speaker 4: of the weirdest and kind of off it's like Shakespeare's
- 26:02Speaker 4: Twin Peaks. It's it's it's very strange that gets that
- 26:08Speaker 4: gets uh, it's first in the folio. So let's see
- 26:13Speaker 4: if I've lost me where I was going next, but
- 26:16Speaker 4: I might not have Okay, here we go, all right,
- 26:24Speaker 4: talk amongst yourselves. Okay, So sixteen twenty three, the first
- 26:30Speaker 4: folio goes out. Oh that's right. So while I'm talking
- 26:34Speaker 4: to Robert Frederick, this Bacon scholar, he's talking about the Tempest,
- 26:40Speaker 4: and he drops it on me that it's an initiation.
- 26:43Speaker 4: It's allegory. The entire Tempest, first play in the folio
- 26:48Speaker 4: of Shakespeare is an initiation allegory. And I started thinking
- 26:53Speaker 4: back to my own personal Shakespeare knowledge, and I know
- 26:58Speaker 4: that there's thirty six plays, and I go, will dang
- 27:01Speaker 4: if that's the first If that's the first degree of freemasonry,
- 27:09Speaker 4: the Tempest. There's thirty six plays in Shakespeare. And while
- 27:12Speaker 4: he's like talking, I'm literally pulling up other windows and
- 27:15Speaker 4: going through and looking, because I know that there's several
- 27:20Speaker 4: plays of Shakespeare's that are have two and one of
- 27:25Speaker 4: them has three parts. So as I can wonder if
- 27:28Speaker 4: I put the plays together that have more than one part,
- 27:31Speaker 4: into one play, which is what they were. They were
- 27:34Speaker 4: just published separately because they were very long plays and
- 27:37Speaker 4: performed separately. If I mash those down, what number would
- 27:40Speaker 4: I get? And of course I get thirty three plays.
- 27:44Speaker 4: So I spend the last two months picking through the
- 27:49Speaker 4: plays as best that I can and lining them up
- 27:54Speaker 4: in the order they are in this book. To the
- 27:57Speaker 4: thirty three degrees of Scottish righte Freemasonry, which seems off
- 28:03Speaker 4: because Scottish righte masonry doesn't come around until the seventeen hundreds.
- 28:09Speaker 4: But if you actually look into the history, depending on
- 28:13Speaker 4: how far you take it back, I know, for at
- 28:15Speaker 4: least for me, that in Edinburgh there was a lodge
- 28:20Speaker 4: in well, let's see here what's referred to as proto
- 28:25Speaker 4: Scottish right freemasonries, and the theory is that it existed
- 28:29Speaker 4: between fifteen hundred and sixteen hundred that early, so just
- 28:33Speaker 4: you know, just before the first Stuart King. So a
- 28:39Speaker 4: guy named William Shaw or there was something that came
- 28:42Speaker 4: out called the William Shaw Statutes between fifteen ninety eight
- 28:45Speaker 4: and fifteen ninety nine, and it established a set of
- 28:48Speaker 4: regulations for Scottish Masons that look more like mystical guild
- 28:52Speaker 4: laws than operative rules. Shaw refers to masters of the
- 28:56Speaker 4: lodge and wardens in the same way that they use
- 29:00Speaker 4: master and warden in the operative the speculative masonry lodges.
- 29:09Speaker 4: Now there's an unusual wave of esoteric hermetic resicrution activity
- 29:14Speaker 4: in Europe between fifteen eighty and sixteen twenty. Bruno d
- 29:18Speaker 4: Flood Bacon and the earliest known non operative or symbolic
- 29:23Speaker 4: Masons appear in Scotland before sixteen hundred, and we know
- 29:27Speaker 4: that I think it was fifteen ninety eight. King James
- 29:31Speaker 4: the First, who becomes the first Stuart King, was initiated
- 29:37Speaker 4: into that Edinburgh Scottish Lodge. So there is a precedent
- 29:43Speaker 4: that masonry was going on in at least Scotland for sure,
- 29:48Speaker 4: much earlier. And I believe that through the mayor Benjian
- 29:51Speaker 4: line and these different monarchies with these this divine right
- 29:57Speaker 4: to rule kind of ethos, I believe that they were
- 30:00Speaker 4: practicing these kind of ancient mystery schools in one way
- 30:05Speaker 4: or another all the way back to the Mayor of
- 30:08Speaker 4: Vingie and and and probably much further depending on when
- 30:12Speaker 4: it was adopted from their buddy.
- 30:14Speaker 3: I get a question really quick about that? Actually, yeah,
- 30:18Speaker 3: because I know that I know that the Mayor of
- 30:21Speaker 3: Vngians play a part in like the Shakespeare thing. But
- 30:24Speaker 3: is Francis Bacon supposed to be from like the mayor
- 30:27Speaker 3: of Vingian bloodline or something? Is that or wrong?
- 30:31Speaker 4: It depends on how you look at that history, which
- 30:34Speaker 4: is super murky. Francis Bacon was basically raised by Queen Elizabeth,
- 30:44Speaker 4: the first Queen Elizabeth.
- 30:49Speaker 1: Was Q.
- 30:52Speaker 4: So there's also speculation that Francis Bacon was the illegitimate
- 30:57Speaker 4: son of Queen Elizabeth. So after Queen Elizabeth becomes the
- 31:03Speaker 4: Queen in the about six months before Francis Bacon is
- 31:09Speaker 4: born to her, Lord Keeper of the Seal, some people,
- 31:18Speaker 4: it's on record that some folks went to see Queen
- 31:22Speaker 4: Elizabeth at court and then came back, and subsequently a
- 31:25Speaker 4: few weeks after they came back to their fiftoms and whatever,
- 31:29Speaker 4: they got their tongues cut out, and they got hung
- 31:31Speaker 4: and they got their heads cut off. Because there's a
- 31:34Speaker 4: rumor that they were spreading around that I just went
- 31:38Speaker 4: and saw the queen, and I don't think she's a
- 31:41Speaker 4: virgin queen anymore because a bit she looks pregnant, right,
- 31:45Speaker 4: and so it's on record. These people who you know,
- 31:48Speaker 4: got got merked because they were spreading this rumor about
- 31:52Speaker 4: the infidelity of the Queen. Well Francis Bacon is born
- 31:56Speaker 4: to sit I can't remember his dad's name, but he
- 32:01Speaker 4: was the lord keeper of the Seal four Queen Elizabeth
- 32:05Speaker 4: like top advisor, and immediately upon his birth he has
- 32:10Speaker 4: moved into the court. The baby he is educated by
- 32:17Speaker 4: the Crown and then put through either Cambridge or Oxford
- 32:22Speaker 4: and then on to Gray's End to learn law and
- 32:25Speaker 4: then immediately becomes part of the court and starts taking
- 32:28Speaker 4: on advisory roles and things like that with Queen Elizabeth.
- 32:32Speaker 4: Now Queen Elizabeth's mom was Anne Boleyn. Anne Berlin was
- 32:36Speaker 4: the chick that King Henry the eighth stopped Catholicism in
- 32:43Speaker 4: England for so King Henry the Eighth was married to
- 32:47Speaker 4: Catherine of it always sounds like a Lord of the Rings.
- 32:53Speaker 4: It's Spain, but Queen Catherine was King Henry the Eighth's wife.
- 33:02Speaker 4: She couldn't give him any kids, so he wanted a divorcer.
- 33:05Speaker 4: He went to the Pope and was like, Pope, can
- 33:08Speaker 4: I please get it a divorce and the Pope said no,
- 33:11Speaker 4: and that's where the big schism in the split in
- 33:14Speaker 4: England comes in. And so King Henry the Eighth and
- 33:18Speaker 4: the Bishop of I guess Canterbury create this Anglican Church
- 33:22Speaker 4: of England thing. And the next chick is an Berlin,
- 33:27Speaker 4: and Berlin you follow her maternal bloodline back she is Plantagenet,
- 33:34Speaker 4: and the Plantagenet come from the maternal side of the Merivingians,
- 33:39Speaker 4: so it goes Marivngian, and then on the maternal side
- 33:43Speaker 4: of the Maravingian as they die out the Carolinians. So
- 33:47Speaker 4: you're talking about the Court of Charlemagne. The maternal side
- 33:51Speaker 4: of the Court of Charlemagne was comes from the Mayor Ofvingians.
- 33:55Speaker 4: And then the maternal side of the Court of Charlemagne
- 33:58Speaker 4: creates the plantas a line, and then on up and
- 34:02Speaker 4: then and it moves right into the Bruces and the Stewarts,
- 34:07Speaker 4: and and then.
- 34:09Speaker 3: That's the Megan Markle thing right because she's from Robert
- 34:13Speaker 3: the Bruce's line, so she's got like they were like, oh,
- 34:17Speaker 3: you know, he found this really nice black girl, and
- 34:20Speaker 3: he's going rogue. No he's not, like, he's not going rogue.
- 34:24Speaker 4: Legitimately, Meghan Markle has a stronger claim to the throne
- 34:29Speaker 4: if you I mean the Stewarts.
- 34:30Speaker 5: That's what I've said for years, the Stuarts.
- 34:34Speaker 4: Yeah, the Stuarts had a stronger claim to the throne
- 34:37Speaker 4: before Queen Elizabeth. So when he got the divorce from
- 34:41Speaker 4: Catherine Mary Queen of Scott's, who was the Queen of
- 34:44Speaker 4: Scotland at the time, she had a better claim to
- 34:48Speaker 4: the throne than any of King Henry the Eight's children,
- 34:52Speaker 4: because all King Henry the Eight's children were their mothers
- 34:56Speaker 4: were not noble women. They were of no like kind
- 35:00Speaker 4: of monarch bloodline. But King Henry the Eight's brother, if
- 35:05Speaker 4: I'm not mistaken, or his sister, Mary, Queen of Scott's
- 35:09Speaker 4: is the daughter. He's like the uncle to Mary, Queen
- 35:12Speaker 4: of Scott's, So Mary, Queen of Scott's had a better
- 35:14Speaker 4: claim to the throne. But of course they didn't let
- 35:18Speaker 4: that happen. First, they let Henry the Eight's sickly little
- 35:20Speaker 4: like young son. He dies, and then bloody Mary becomes
- 35:25Speaker 4: the queen and she doesn't end up with an air
- 35:30Speaker 4: and she dies, and then Queen Elizabeth she's like last
- 35:34Speaker 4: in line. Because I think Anne Boleyn was kind of
- 35:36Speaker 4: the viewed by the monarchy as the skeasiest of all
- 35:41Speaker 4: Henry's chicks. And so Elizabeth spent most of her life
- 35:46Speaker 4: in the Tower of London, like in prison, because Bloody
- 35:52Speaker 4: Mary was afraid they were going to depose her and
- 35:54Speaker 4: put Elizabeth in anyway, so Elizabeth doesn't have a strong
- 35:59Speaker 4: claim to the throne. It's her cousin over in Scotland,
- 36:01Speaker 4: and Queen Elizabeth when she gets on the throne, she's
- 36:05Speaker 4: so sketched out that Mary, Queen of Scott's is going
- 36:11Speaker 4: to take her out and take over the throne that
- 36:14Speaker 4: she finally has. They come to an agreement and she's like, look,
- 36:20Speaker 4: if you don't try to kill me and take my
- 36:22Speaker 4: throne when I die, since I'm the virgin Queen, I'll
- 36:26Speaker 4: name your son James as my heir, right. So they
- 36:32Speaker 4: make that agreement and then Queen Elizabeth has Mary, Queen
- 36:35Speaker 4: of Scott's head cut off. Anyway, But when Queen Elizabeth dies,
- 36:39Speaker 4: that is when King James the First becomes the King
- 36:42Speaker 4: of England and thus the first Stewart, and that brings
- 36:46Speaker 4: in the bruces and the Mayor Vengie implantation and that
- 36:50Speaker 4: whole line all comes together with the Stewarts, and I.
- 36:53Speaker 2: Forgot where I was real quick. If you don't mind,
- 36:55Speaker 2: then I'll say something if you want to look. I
- 36:58Speaker 2: can't remember even specific, so it might have been my
- 37:00Speaker 2: Meyer or Michael Mayer, and I can't remember the other people.
- 37:06Speaker 2: But there was some probably going back a year and
- 37:08Speaker 2: a half two years ago, there was some certain alchemists
- 37:11Speaker 2: or occultists that me and me and Lisa had covered
- 37:14Speaker 2: that were all somehow like showing up around King James,
- 37:21Speaker 2: which I had like no idea. I never really didn't
- 37:24Speaker 2: realize how problem it was, and I was like, oh,
- 37:26Speaker 2: there's way too many now to where it's coincidence.
- 37:30Speaker 4: So so you you definitely have him getting initiated into
- 37:34Speaker 4: the into the that very early lodge in Scotland, and
- 37:42Speaker 4: then he was surrounded by the same type of people
- 37:45Speaker 4: that Queen Elizabeth was. I mean she she's John Dee's chick.
- 37:49Speaker 4: I mean John d was her like personal kind of
- 37:52Speaker 4: spiritual advisor, and that is who most likely Francis Bacon
- 37:58Speaker 4: was tutored. You imagine your your mom is the queen,
- 38:02Speaker 4: but she's not claiming you as her son. And then
- 38:06Speaker 4: she's got this you know, the original Double seven spying
- 38:10Speaker 4: and talking to angel demons to tell her how to
- 38:14Speaker 4: run the country. And then this little kid kicking around
- 38:18Speaker 4: the court is getting and there's only there's like no
- 38:21Speaker 4: letters or evidence that Francis Bacon had any contact or
- 38:27Speaker 4: anything with John D. But it's so completely obvious by
- 38:32Speaker 4: their interests and their their their their education that he
- 38:35Speaker 4: was probably his biggest mentor there's one wood cutting that
- 38:39Speaker 4: they found and people use it for all kinds of
- 38:43Speaker 4: like podcasts like thumbnails and whatnot, but it's it's an
- 38:47Speaker 4: old wizard looking wizard guy who is John D holding
- 38:51Speaker 4: uh like passing a lantern to a younger man, and
- 38:55Speaker 4: that they're pretty sure that depicts John D. And and
- 39:00Speaker 4: to spake, and I think that it's official that the
- 39:02Speaker 4: old guy is John D. And they don't know who
- 39:04Speaker 4: the other guy is that he's passing the Enlightenment onto.
- 39:07Speaker 3: But it's it's so what do you think about Like
- 39:11Speaker 3: I think Shakespeare could have been you hinted at this
- 39:15Speaker 3: like a court of people or a council of people
- 39:18Speaker 3: that Francis Bacon was on there. But they say, you know, oh,
- 39:22Speaker 3: well Shakespeare wrote the Bible, King James Bible. No, that's
- 39:27Speaker 3: but it would have been it would have been somebody
- 39:29Speaker 3: or all of the members of the court, right or yeah.
- 39:33Speaker 4: So that's the funny thing about the King James Bible.
- 39:35Speaker 4: And and also remember too that sixteen eleven the Bible
- 39:38Speaker 4: comes out, and that's the same year that the very
- 39:42Speaker 4: last Shakespeare play comes out. So it's like off of
- 39:45Speaker 4: one project and onto the next project. And they'll that'll
- 39:50Speaker 4: play in when I actually finally get into the meat
- 39:53Speaker 4: of this stuff. It'll really play into this research the
- 39:57Speaker 4: Bible with Shakespeare. So it's kind of funny because, as
- 40:00Speaker 4: I understand it, people say a common myth is that
- 40:07Speaker 4: Shakespeare wrote the Bible. But they say that because he
- 40:12Speaker 4: met the Shakespeare guy, because he ran in the same circles,
- 40:16Speaker 4: may have been a part of the group that historically
- 40:20Speaker 4: we know that Francis Bacon was the head of that
- 40:23Speaker 4: wrote the King James Bible for King James. So like
- 40:27Speaker 4: Francis Bacon was officially what we know of, he was
- 40:31Speaker 4: the kind of head of the council that was putting
- 40:33Speaker 4: together the King James Bible. And so people assume Shakespeare
- 40:39Speaker 4: wrote the King James Bible because he was part of
- 40:41Speaker 4: that group. But then when you say that Francis Bacon
- 40:44Speaker 4: might probably wrote Shakespeare because he was part of that group.
- 40:47Speaker 4: People are like, no, come on this, you know, I
- 40:50Speaker 4: mean Stratfordians. They're like, that can't be possible, even though
- 40:55Speaker 4: there's far more, you know, evidence that Francis Bacon may
- 40:59Speaker 4: have quite quite possibly have been the most brilliant person
- 41:03Speaker 4: to ever walk the face of the planet.
- 41:04Speaker 5: I mean, he absolutely, I'm starting to gather that just
- 41:08Speaker 5: based on, like, you know, doing some of my own
- 41:11Speaker 5: research about him, and he keeps popping up and shit,
- 41:14Speaker 5: and I'm like, who.
- 41:15Speaker 3: Is this dude. He's like fucking obscure kind of Yeah,
- 41:19Speaker 3: he's everywhere in nowhere.
- 41:21Speaker 4: You know what I mean. Yeah, he's I think I
- 41:23Speaker 4: have a quote here somewhere. I can't remember what it was,
- 41:29Speaker 4: but it was a really great Shakespeare and Bacon quote.
- 41:32Speaker 4: But yeah, Francis Bacon in his time, somebody had had
- 41:38Speaker 4: said that Francis Bacon, by the age of twelve, had
- 41:41Speaker 4: already read everything in print. He spoke like four or
- 41:45Speaker 4: five languages by that age. By fifteen, he was at
- 41:49Speaker 4: either Oxford or Cambridge, I can't remember which one, going
- 41:52Speaker 4: to college. By sixteen he quit because he was bored
- 41:55Speaker 4: and by like I'm sorry, maybe fourteen he was there.
- 41:58Speaker 4: By fifteen he quit, and then by sixteen he was
- 42:01Speaker 4: back teaching. So he was teaching at one of those
- 42:04Speaker 4: two prestigious schools when he was barely just a teenager,
- 42:09Speaker 4: you know, and then moves on to Gray's Inn, becomes
- 42:13Speaker 4: a great lawyer. And then it is in the court
- 42:16Speaker 4: not only that he was doing the same things that
- 42:18Speaker 4: John d was, and that he was he had a
- 42:21Speaker 4: big hand in Elizabeth's kind of spy network. He was
- 42:26Speaker 4: writing tons of ciphers and mathematics and cryptology and doing it.
- 42:31Speaker 4: I mean, he created the scientific method. He was he
- 42:36Speaker 4: was absolutely brilliant. I mean, there's definitely evidence that he
- 42:40Speaker 4: was a polymath and he could have written plays and
- 42:43Speaker 4: done impossible math work. And but did that person just
- 42:48Speaker 4: say they were bored before sixteen? Oh okay, this through me.
- 42:59Speaker 6: I thought she was bored with no, no, no, no, anyway,
- 43:03Speaker 6: I should probably get into the actual because I've been
- 43:06Speaker 6: rambling for like an hour and it's I haven't even
- 43:09Speaker 6: gotten into it yet.
- 43:10Speaker 2: Let's go, let's go.
- 43:11Speaker 4: All right, all right, all right, right, So the whole
- 43:14Speaker 4: tempest thing got me interested. I found the connection there
- 43:17Speaker 4: with the thirty three, the thirty three degrees of Freemasonry,
- 43:23Speaker 4: And so I plotted them all out and mapped them
- 43:25Speaker 4: all out, and I'm just gonna go. What I found
- 43:28Speaker 4: was they were exact. Every single degree explains every single play,
- 43:32Speaker 4: and every single play has elements of every single one
- 43:35Speaker 4: of its corresponding degrees. And it's it's eerily so you.
- 43:39Speaker 2: Know, there's one thing I want to mention too, like
- 43:41Speaker 2: this times you know this, This is really interesting that
- 43:44Speaker 2: you're saying this. I would even wonder about some of
- 43:46Speaker 2: these in orders because could those be other books or something,
- 43:51Speaker 2: because there's been times of me me and the first
- 43:53Speaker 2: I think luck was with him. We had covered I
- 43:56Speaker 2: think quats Cold and a couple of in orders.
- 43:59Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah.
- 44:00Speaker 2: Since and they will mention Shakespeare sometimes.
- 44:05Speaker 4: They claim him as as their own. I mean, he
- 44:08Speaker 4: becomes part of that lord like Hiram Abiff, you know,
- 44:11Speaker 4: I mean, I think we all know that there wasn't
- 44:13Speaker 4: actually a guy named Hiram Abif, but it it it
- 44:18Speaker 4: explains some part of their of their story, and it's
- 44:23Speaker 4: kind of the same as that Maravngian, you know, Christ's bloodline,
- 44:26Speaker 4: like it imbues that monarchy with importance and the more
- 44:32Speaker 4: folks that they You know, my buddy is Daniel Duke,
- 44:39Speaker 4: who is the uh great great grandson of the real
- 44:43Speaker 4: Jesse James. And you know, I asked him if he
- 44:48Speaker 4: was getting any He's the guy that wrote Jesse James
- 44:50Speaker 4: and the Lost Templar Treasure, which I know sounds crazy.
- 44:53Speaker 4: That's why I bought the book, but it's insane. Jesse
- 44:57Speaker 4: James was part of the Knights of the Golden Circle.
- 44:59Speaker 4: He was a freeman and his maps that have been
- 45:04Speaker 4: uncovered match up to all the templar symbolism and whatnot.
- 45:08Speaker 4: And I asked him, I was like, are you worried,
- 45:10Speaker 4: you know, you're you know, exposing some of this stuff,
- 45:14Speaker 4: and he was like, no, no, He's like they loved me, man.
- 45:17Speaker 4: They did a blurb for the back of my book
- 45:19Speaker 4: and whatnot. Because these guys added to their brand, it
- 45:24Speaker 4: doesn't it doesn't hurt them, and they can pick and
- 45:27Speaker 4: choose and you know, kind of explain to their their
- 45:31Speaker 4: ad upts who was real and who wasn't, and who
- 45:34Speaker 4: is who were using as allegory or symbolism and anyway.
- 45:39Speaker 4: So I map those thirty three degrees to the thirty
- 45:46Speaker 4: three plays that started off as thirty six, but I
- 45:48Speaker 4: combined the plays that have more than one part, and
- 45:53Speaker 4: then that led me to mapping both the degrees and
- 45:58Speaker 4: the plays onto another thing that I'll get to as
- 46:02Speaker 4: I as I go through a few of these plays,
- 46:05Speaker 4: and then that led me to another piece of esotericism
- 46:09Speaker 4: that maps on to all of them. So this is
- 46:11Speaker 4: four kind of streams of data that all all come together.
- 46:17Speaker 4: And stream three and four are Stream three for sure.
- 46:22Speaker 4: I don't think anybody because I can't find it anywhere.
- 46:24Speaker 4: Nobody's ever mentioned what I'll show you, which is like
- 46:31Speaker 4: stream three. Now, obviously the Masons have talked about Shakespeare
- 46:37Speaker 4: being one of their guys. I've even heard it said
- 46:40Speaker 4: that Shakespeare wrote our our our bylaws. I think a
- 46:46Speaker 4: Mason has actually said that to me. So that theory
- 46:50Speaker 4: is out there. I My point with this is to
- 46:53Speaker 4: kind of show that the framework was already there before. Yeah,
- 47:01Speaker 4: there's all kinds of great uh geometry in the the
- 47:05Speaker 4: shakespeare first folio, but my point is to kind of
- 47:11Speaker 4: show that the the framework for masonry was there in
- 47:16Speaker 4: the Shakespearean place before the Scottish right of freemasonry. And
- 47:23Speaker 4: so that's the line of succession, because I think a
- 47:25Speaker 4: lot of people could just look at it and go, oh, yeah,
- 47:27Speaker 4: the degrees match up, because obviously, you know, the Scottish
- 47:30Speaker 4: right came after Shakespeare, and so they thought this was
- 47:34Speaker 4: a cool book and they took the symbolism out of it,
- 47:37Speaker 4: but I think they recognized the symbolism that was already
- 47:40Speaker 4: there anyway. So I'm gonna go through the tempest real quick. First,
- 47:46Speaker 4: quick summary of the tempest. Prospero, the rightful Duke of
- 47:51Speaker 4: Milan and master of the magical Arts, use a sorcery
- 47:54Speaker 4: to shipwreck his usurping brother and others upon his island.
- 47:59Speaker 4: Through careful through carefully orchestrated illusions, he confronts betrayal, restores harmony,
- 48:04Speaker 4: and ultimately chooses forgiveness over vengeance. In Masonry, the entered
- 48:09Speaker 4: apprentice as the first degree, represents initiation, purification, in the
- 48:14Speaker 4: awakening of latent potential. It symbolizes the beginning of the
- 48:18Speaker 4: spiritual journey and moving from chaos into ordered understanding and
- 48:22Speaker 4: entering the island of symbolic instruction. So in the play,
- 48:27Speaker 4: Prospero functions as the initiator. He guides all the others
- 48:33Speaker 4: on the island through ordeals, storms illusions tests the character
- 48:39Speaker 4: much like the candidate, and freemasonry is guided through symbolic storms.
- 48:43Speaker 4: Ariel performs the role of spiritual messenger, while Caliban embodies
- 48:48Speaker 4: the unrefined natural man. The apprentice must overcome. The entire
- 48:54Speaker 4: island becomes an allegorical lodge of transformation. So I read
- 48:59Speaker 4: those two things together and go, okay, that's one for
- 49:01Speaker 4: one tempest to the first degree. Right, So then I
- 49:04Speaker 4: pull out my old trustee um copy of morals and Dogma,
- 49:10Speaker 4: and I'm like, well, let me just dig through these
- 49:12Speaker 4: and see what signs and symbols and things like that
- 49:15Speaker 4: from each degree might map onto the plays as well. Right,
- 49:20Speaker 4: So first degree, the entered apprentice, the degree symbols. There
- 49:24Speaker 4: are a twenty four inch gauge, which is a measurement
- 49:26Speaker 4: of time, the common gavel for breaking away vices, the
- 49:31Speaker 4: rough ashlar, which is just a rough stone, and the
- 49:36Speaker 4: light or the great light. So the way that's mirrored
- 49:38Speaker 4: in the tempest is Prospero's entire magical operation is timed
- 49:43Speaker 4: to the minute in the play, the hour has now
- 49:46Speaker 4: come as a quote mirroring the twenty four inch gauge
- 49:50Speaker 4: as the symbol of time management. The shipwreck Nobles or
- 49:54Speaker 4: the rough Ashlars broken down by trials, the island experience
- 49:58Speaker 4: chips away their vices, just like the gabble, and then
- 50:01Speaker 4: the final reconcile. Reconciliation is the perfect Ashlar, the raw
- 50:05Speaker 4: characters refined. So as I'm going through that, I start,
- 50:12Speaker 4: I don't know if I can pick this up and
- 50:15Speaker 4: show you guys real quick. Another really strange that this
- 50:19Speaker 4: this book is batshit crazy. Can you see that? Do
- 50:24Speaker 4: you see? This is the table of contents, right, do
- 50:27Speaker 4: you see? Just take a quick look at the numbers
- 50:30Speaker 4: of the pages, and what you'll notice is like the
- 50:33Speaker 4: tempest starts at page one, but then all the other
- 50:36Speaker 4: page numbers are out of order. You can be on
- 50:39Speaker 4: page two hundred and fifty, flip over two pages and
- 50:42Speaker 4: you're on page forty five and then and that's that's
- 50:46Speaker 4: something that people have brought up about this. I mean,
- 50:48Speaker 4: here's page ninety three. I go back a big chance,
- 50:56Speaker 4: back to fifty way back here. I'm back to fifty five.
- 50:59Speaker 4: I mean, and I've always thought that that meant something,
- 51:04Speaker 4: but I'm not mathematically minded. So whatever codes that you know,
- 51:08Speaker 4: Petro Aminsen and the Oak Island boys are figuring out like,
- 51:11Speaker 4: I don't have the wherewithal. But what I did notice
- 51:16Speaker 4: was that the very last, the very last play in
- 51:24Speaker 4: the Shakespearean First Folio, starts on page three sixty nine,
- 51:31Speaker 4: and it's only about five or six pages long, right,
- 51:35Speaker 4: So that puts me around three hundred and seventy five.
- 51:38Speaker 4: And so I start looking around, like, what from sixteen
- 51:41Speaker 4: to eleven, what was Bacon involved in that might match
- 51:45Speaker 4: to that? Well, three sixty nine is like a perfect number.
- 51:48Speaker 4: I can't remember I went through all that, but I
- 51:51Speaker 4: try to stay away from the numerology as much as
- 51:53Speaker 4: I can. But I start looking around, and what I
- 51:59Speaker 4: find is that Proverbs in the Bible has exactly three
- 52:05Speaker 4: hundred and seventy five proverbs. So Solomon wrote Proverbs. We
- 52:12Speaker 4: all know that Francis Bacon was obsessed with Solomon. The
- 52:16Speaker 4: Masons are obsessed with Solomon. And I'm like, maybe this
- 52:20Speaker 4: is a match. And since we have this whole table
- 52:25Speaker 4: of random numbers, almost this random number generator, I was like,
- 52:30Speaker 4: there's no way that these these numbers could match up
- 52:35Speaker 4: to the corresponding the play with the corresponding proverb. And
- 52:40Speaker 4: so when I say three hundred and seventy five proverbs.
- 52:43Speaker 4: These proverbs are things like, let's see here, a wise
- 52:47Speaker 4: son maketh a glad father, but a foolish son is
- 52:50Speaker 4: the heaviness of his mother. They're like two line little
- 52:53Speaker 4: pieces of wisdom that Solomon wrote down. And the crazy
- 52:57Speaker 4: thing is is that nobody in the history of the
- 53:00Speaker 4: Bible has ever took Everybody talks about how amazing advice
- 53:05Speaker 4: this solemnnic these proverbs are, but nobody wants has ever
- 53:10Speaker 4: gone and just pulled them out in order and just
- 53:14Speaker 4: put one, two, three, four, five, Nobody all the way
- 53:17Speaker 4: down to three seventy five. So I had to open
- 53:19Speaker 4: the Bible and go through three hundred and seventy five
- 53:23Speaker 4: proverbs in order and write them down right, And I'm
- 53:26Speaker 4: glad I did because so And what you'll see with
- 53:32Speaker 4: the way these map in the beginning degrees just like
- 53:35Speaker 4: the degrees are in masonry. It's a little light. The
- 53:40Speaker 4: symbolism fits, but it might be a little bit tangential
- 53:44Speaker 4: and a little fluffy and not real. There's not a
- 53:47Speaker 4: whole lot of like weight on it. And then as
- 53:52Speaker 4: we get further and further and further in, it becomes
- 53:55Speaker 4: more exact and more perfectly matched up with everything to
- 54:00Speaker 4: the point where the proverb that matches up with Titus
- 54:05Speaker 4: Andronicus Titus Andronicus is a is a tragedy play by Shakespeare,
- 54:10Speaker 4: and at one point somebody cuts the tongues out of
- 54:13Speaker 4: his daughter, or the tongue out of it to either
- 54:17Speaker 4: two daughters, and anyway, somebody gets a tongue cut out,
- 54:20Speaker 4: and the proverb that matches up. And remember we're not
- 54:25Speaker 4: just going in order one through thirty three proverbs. We're
- 54:29Speaker 4: going from proverb one to proverb twenty to proverb thirty
- 54:33Speaker 4: eight to proverbs sixty one, and they match up bank
- 54:36Speaker 4: bang bang bang, And the proverb that matches up with
- 54:38Speaker 4: Titus Andronicus literally talks about cutting someone's tongue out. So
- 54:45Speaker 4: I beyond that. So I find this stuff, and I
- 54:50Speaker 4: map out all these dang proverbs, and then I move
- 54:53Speaker 4: on because obviously the number thirty three is popping up
- 54:57Speaker 4: over and over and over and over and over again.
- 54:59Speaker 4: And the other piece of this Bacon Shakespeare Mason kind
- 55:07Speaker 4: of salad is always kabbala. You always hear, you know,
- 55:12Speaker 4: the kabbala is basically a basis for masonry, and that
- 55:17Speaker 4: everything kind of distills in each degree kind of distills
- 55:21Speaker 4: back to a Kabbalistic principle. And I've asked master Masons.
- 55:29Speaker 4: I asked the the worshipful master of a lodge, like, hey,
- 55:32Speaker 4: what do you know about the Kabbala? This is a
- 55:34Speaker 4: thirty two degree, a thirty second degree Mason. He's like,
- 55:37Speaker 4: I've never even heard of it. Now, I know the
- 55:40Speaker 4: guy pretty well, and if he was, you know, if
- 55:44Speaker 4: he was bullshitting me, I feel like i'd have known it.
- 55:48Speaker 4: But I've asked other people, and you can go online
- 55:50Speaker 4: to forums and stuff like that and you'll see you'll
- 55:52Speaker 4: see Masons all day be like nothing to do with Kabbala, like,
- 55:56Speaker 4: but it's absolutely clear that it is. And if you
- 56:00Speaker 4: read Morals and Dogmen anything by Albert Pike, the Kabbala
- 56:04Speaker 4: was Pikes. That was his preferred kind of esoteric kind
- 56:11Speaker 4: of framework. So it is in there, specifically in Scottish
- 56:16Speaker 4: righte freemasonry. So I start looking around into the Kabbala.
- 56:21Speaker 2: Oh real quick, I just want to say, like, uh,
- 56:23Speaker 2: I know for a fact that well, I mean, that's
- 56:26Speaker 2: what they even admit it, but it maybe maybe it's
- 56:28Speaker 2: not true, but yeah, Eestra morgentum even if you look
- 56:32Speaker 2: up their initiatives, I guess degree system. They even show
- 56:38Speaker 2: you how like their degrees matched the tree. Yeah, you know,
- 56:41Speaker 2: they kind of make it. Oh, they kind of like,
- 56:43Speaker 2: you know, in explaining it, it's quite obvious.
- 56:46Speaker 4: Well, so does the what I found is? So does
- 56:51Speaker 4: it match with the degrees the thirty three degrees of
- 56:54Speaker 4: freemasonry and the thirty three plays of William Shakespeare? And
- 57:01Speaker 4: so I found this thing called the thirty two paths
- 57:03Speaker 4: of wisdom in Kabbala. It comes from the Book of Formation,
- 57:11Speaker 4: and it describes the thirty two paths of wisdom as
- 57:15Speaker 4: these are the ten sepharat. So one through ten is
- 57:18Speaker 4: the ten sepharat on the tree of life, and then
- 57:20Speaker 4: below that is the twenty two letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
- 57:25Speaker 4: And so that gives you thirty two paths. But Kabbala
- 57:29Speaker 4: always speaks of the thirty third path that cannot be named,
- 57:33Speaker 4: the path beyond form, corresponding to ketter or einsoft It's
- 57:39Speaker 4: heavily emphasized in Lurianic Kabbala, Hermetic Kabala, which is of
- 57:43Speaker 4: Bacon's day sixteenth and seventeenth. The seventeenth century Christian novelists
- 57:49Speaker 4: and Rosa Cruscian manuscripts. So this particular kind of ladder
- 57:55Speaker 4: of thirty three pathways maps right onto the time and
- 58:01Speaker 4: place that that Francis Bacon was was was, you know,
- 58:06Speaker 4: messing around and working off of So I've gone through.
- 58:11Speaker 4: I'm not going to go through all thirty three plays,
- 58:13Speaker 4: but I do have some favorites. Trust me when I
- 58:20Speaker 4: say that they all match up pretty great. But I'm
- 58:23Speaker 4: gonna jump. So we went through the tempest a little bit.
- 58:28Speaker 4: Let's do much Ado about Nothing. That's the sixth degree.
- 58:34Speaker 4: Much Ado in About Nothing is the sixth play. It
- 58:37Speaker 4: is the the sixth degree of Scottish rape free Masonry
- 58:42Speaker 4: is the intimate secretary. The summary of the play, Beatrice
- 58:46Speaker 4: and Benedict engage in witty verbal combat, while Claudio and
- 58:50Speaker 4: Hero navigate betrayal and reconciliation. Love triumphs, but only after
- 58:55Speaker 4: truth is brought to light. In masonry, the degree centers
- 58:59Speaker 4: on confidence, service, accurate witnessing, and faithful transmission of truth.
- 59:04Speaker 4: So the sexton in the play is a character in
- 59:07Speaker 4: the play acts as a recorder, so literally this is
- 59:11Speaker 4: the intimate secretary. In the The sexton.
- 59:16Speaker 2: Like a astronomical device as well.
- 59:18Speaker 4: I believe, so yeah, the no sextant I think, yeah.
- 59:24Speaker 4: So they have a secretary is a and just so
- 59:28Speaker 4: you know, there's not a lot of secretary parts in
- 59:31Speaker 4: other shakespeare In plays, so it's interesting he acts for
- 59:34Speaker 4: as recorder for dogbery. He embodies the secretary role literacy,
- 59:40Speaker 4: truth keeping in the ability to discern fact from falsehood.
- 59:43Speaker 4: The central conflict heroes. Slander dramatizes the dangers of false reports,
- 59:48Speaker 4: a core lesson of the degree. So right there, core
- 59:51Speaker 4: lesson of the degree is mapped out right into the
- 59:56Speaker 4: right into the play there and then from morals and dogma.
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: The degree symbols two class hands, curtains, half drawn triangular
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: arrangement of secret letters red and white, which stand for
- 1:00:10Speaker 4: passion and purity, the way that mirrors in the play.
- 1:00:14Speaker 4: The entire plot revolves around broken trust rebuilding of confidence
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: between characters Hero, Claudio, Benedict and Beatrice. Everything is overheard
- 1:00:22Speaker 4: behind curtains, hedges, partial concealments, perfect symbol of the half
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: drawn veil, red and white. Obviously this is a All
- 1:00:31Speaker 4: his comedies are also love triangles. So red and white,
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: Hero's innocence stained by false accusation, Red Bam and then
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: we go to six on the proverbs much ado, Yeah,
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: that is proverb one oh one or proverbs for eighteen.
- 1:00:58Speaker 4: The wisdom of the prude is to understand his way,
- 1:01:02Speaker 4: but the folly of the fool is deceit. Aligns with
- 1:01:05Speaker 4: the sixth degree, the intimate secretary. The degree stresses discernment,
- 1:01:10Speaker 4: accurate record, truth versus deception accurate record. You're talking about
- 1:01:15Speaker 4: that secretary there. The wisdom of the prudence to understand
- 1:01:18Speaker 4: his way equals the secretary's duty. Folly is deceit. That's
- 1:01:24Speaker 4: the degree's warning. Don Pedro and Leonardo equal prudence and understanding.
- 1:01:29Speaker 4: Claudio is deceived. Benedict and Beatrice truth disguises wit, and
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: Don Don John folly is deceit incarnate. So the sixth
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: degree is about the ability to tell the truth from
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: falhood and the entire plays in June, and then you
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: run over here to the Kabbalah, and that particular play
- 1:01:55Speaker 4: lines up with number six, the sixth pathway, which is tifferet,
- 1:01:59Speaker 4: which means beauty or harmony or harmony after conflict. So
- 1:02:05Speaker 4: again tifferrett equals the heart. The heart equals Benedict and
- 1:02:10Speaker 4: Beatrice harmony restored through speech, misunderstanding, and reconciliation. So the
- 1:02:17Speaker 4: other great thing about the Shakespeare plays mapping onto the
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: degrees of freemasonry is that they go the first I
- 1:02:29Speaker 4: believe it's twelve plays. Let me make sure, all right,
- 1:02:39Speaker 4: I'll get to it. Oh, here we go. The first
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: fourteen plays in the in the Shakespeare folio are the comedies,
- 1:02:50Speaker 4: and they are all light love triangles, comedic. Right at
- 1:02:57Speaker 4: play number fifteen is where the histories and tragedies start
- 1:03:04Speaker 4: in freemasonry. The first fourteen degrees are the ineffable degrees
- 1:03:08Speaker 4: a little bit lighter. And then in the fifteenth degree,
- 1:03:12Speaker 4: that's right where the historical and religious degrees begin, and
- 1:03:19Speaker 4: so also where the histories and tragedies begin in the
- 1:03:23Speaker 4: first folio. So I'm gonna jump to where are my
- 1:03:27Speaker 4: stars at? Yeah, here we go. I'm gonsa jump to
- 1:03:30Speaker 4: the eighteenth degree. I find this one. This grouping of
- 1:03:34Speaker 4: these degrees and play is really interesting. So the play
- 1:03:39Speaker 4: that we're talking about is Henry the Fifth. We've jumped
- 1:03:43Speaker 4: to the the kind of nightly degrees, and we've jumped
- 1:03:50Speaker 4: to the histories. In the Shakespearean plays. The eighteenth degree
- 1:03:54Speaker 4: is the Night of the Rose Cross, the play is
- 1:03:56Speaker 4: Henry the Fifth. It's that also not only does is
- 1:04:06Speaker 4: this where the kind of knightly degrees start, but it's
- 1:04:12Speaker 4: also interesting that the first place that like rose Accrucianism
- 1:04:16Speaker 4: is mentioned within the degrees is the also the start
- 1:04:19Speaker 4: of the histories here. So Henry the Fifth follows King
- 1:04:23Speaker 4: Henry's transformation from reckless prince to a responsible and inspiring monarch.
- 1:04:28Speaker 4: The place centers on his leadership during the war with France,
- 1:04:31Speaker 4: especially the Battle of Agan Court. Themes include honor, duty, legitimacy,
- 1:04:36Speaker 4: and the burden of kingship, as well as the attempt
- 1:04:38Speaker 4: to reconcile former vices with present virtue. In masonry, in
- 1:04:43Speaker 4: the eighteenth degree, the Knight of the rose Cross degree
- 1:04:46Speaker 4: is the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth to illustrate universal
- 1:04:49Speaker 4: principles of life and morality. It emphasizes virtue over vice,
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: tolerance over love, the reconciliation of opposites, the discover of
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: the true word or logos within oneself. It's a degree
- 1:05:05Speaker 4: of inner transformation. In the play, Henry the Fifth can
- 1:05:09Speaker 4: be read as a monarch undergoing rose Cross transformation, as
- 1:05:16Speaker 4: far as reconciliation of opposites Henry is both pious and ruthless.
- 1:05:20Speaker 4: He speaks eloquently of honor and unity. Few we happy.
- 1:05:25Speaker 4: Few remember that line. Yet he threatens halfer and sanctions executions.
- 1:05:30Speaker 4: He wrestles with tensions between mercy and necessity. The true
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: word within is represented by Henry's transformation from Prince hal
- 1:05:38Speaker 4: to King. Henry suggests a man has aligned his outward
- 1:05:44Speaker 4: actions with an inner sense of calling and kingship, a
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: discovery of his royal logos tolerance and union. By seeking
- 1:05:52Speaker 4: to unite England and France, symbolized through his marriage to Catherine,
- 1:05:57Speaker 4: Henry attempts to heal divisions and build a broad unity
- 1:06:01Speaker 4: and echo of the degrees called to transcend sectarianism and
- 1:06:04Speaker 4: embrace a higher, reconcilitatory love. You jumped to the signs
- 1:06:10Speaker 4: and symbols of the eighteenth degree in freemasonry, and again
- 1:06:18Speaker 4: this is really cool. So the eighteenth degree of freemasonry
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: is the Knight of the Rose Cross. The play is
- 1:06:24Speaker 4: King Henry the Fifth. Henry the Fifth was the last
- 1:06:27Speaker 4: king before the War of Roses, and his son presided
- 1:06:33Speaker 4: was the King of England during the War of Roses.
- 1:06:36Speaker 4: So the degree symbols are the Rose cross, the Pelican
- 1:06:39Speaker 4: equal sacrifice, the eagle, which eagles, vision, the lamb in
- 1:06:44Speaker 4: seven seals, and red and white and the way you
- 1:06:48Speaker 4: find those. In the play, Henry repeatedly cast himself as
- 1:06:51Speaker 4: the sacrificial leader, bearing the sins of his army, his
- 1:06:55Speaker 4: transformation from how is a rose cross resurrection, and Asian
- 1:06:59Speaker 4: Court is framed as the red and white miracle. And
- 1:07:03Speaker 4: then that proverb, this is where the proverbs start to
- 1:07:06Speaker 4: get a little bit more on the nose, even eighteen
- 1:07:15Speaker 4: he this is again sixty nine page I'm sorry, play
- 1:07:21Speaker 4: starts on page sixty nine. The proverb, the sixty ninth
- 1:07:26Speaker 4: proverb is he that diligently seeketh good, procureth favor. But
- 1:07:32Speaker 4: he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him, alignment
- 1:07:36Speaker 4: with Henry the fifth. Henry diligently seeks good on her
- 1:07:41Speaker 4: unity victory the French, and the French or the traders
- 1:07:44Speaker 4: seek mischief in return to destroy them. So it's kind
- 1:07:48Speaker 4: of it's almost a perfect alignment from virtue to favor
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: to mischief to defeat. And then that mapping onto.
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: The spies, even on the keystone too for Merita pillars.
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: Yeah, And then in Kabbala eighteen. The path there is
- 1:08:09Speaker 4: represented by the letter pe p e h. The mouth
- 1:08:13Speaker 4: or speech the great thing about I love that in
- 1:08:18Speaker 4: this play. Do you remember the It's in movies and
- 1:08:23Speaker 4: things like that, the famous Shakespearean speech once More onto
- 1:08:28Speaker 4: the Breach. It's like a famous like rallying like thing.
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: The two most famous like monologue like speeches in Shakespearean
- 1:08:40Speaker 4: plays are contained within Henry the Fifth this one play.
- 1:08:44Speaker 4: So it's the once More into the Breach speech and
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: then the Saint Crispin's Day speech. You look any of
- 1:08:52Speaker 4: those up. They've been quoted a million times in a
- 1:08:54Speaker 4: million movies about war and whatnot, And specifically the path
- 1:09:00Speaker 4: in the Kabbalah on that thirty three run ladder of
- 1:09:04Speaker 4: this cabalistic system means mouth or speech obviously, speeches, power
- 1:09:14Speaker 4: of the word and the logos thing. Nineteenth degree is
- 1:09:19Speaker 4: the nineteenth degree is the Grand Pontiff. The play that
- 1:09:25Speaker 4: corresponds as Henry the sixth play. Summary Across the Henry
- 1:09:30Speaker 4: the Sixth trilogy, England's Fortunes Decline Abroad and at Home.
- 1:09:34Speaker 4: Part one shows the loss of France and the rise
- 1:09:36Speaker 4: of Joan of Arc and Talbot. Part two depicts the
- 1:09:39Speaker 4: escalating factionalism and civil unrest. Part three plunges fully into
- 1:09:44Speaker 4: the Wars of the Roses, with brutal battles between Lancaster
- 1:09:48Speaker 4: and York culminating in the Shattered Realm and the rise
- 1:09:51Speaker 4: of Richard the Third. Themes include collapse of legitimate authority,
- 1:09:55Speaker 4: the cost of war, the legacy of nobility, and heroism
- 1:09:59Speaker 4: in masonry. The grand pond of Degree stresses the continuity
- 1:10:05Speaker 4: and influence of the past on the present future. The
- 1:10:09Speaker 4: play is all things that result from from past deeds,
- 1:10:17Speaker 4: the struggle between light and darkness, good and evil, the
- 1:10:20Speaker 4: idea that good ultimately triumphs Mason's responsibility to uplift future
- 1:10:24Speaker 4: generations and to think beyond his own era. So in
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: the play moral ambiguity and struggle, Henry the Six is
- 1:10:31Speaker 4: personally devout and gentle but politically weak, while figures like
- 1:10:36Speaker 4: Margaret and York display ruthless ambition. The past shaping the
- 1:10:42Speaker 4: future the wars betrayals misjudgments in Henry the Six plant
- 1:10:46Speaker 4: the seeds for him or for Richard the Third, who
- 1:10:50Speaker 4: is the next play In the next the next example,
- 1:10:56Speaker 4: the entire are echoes of the nineteenth degree insistence that
- 1:11:00Speaker 4: the past is never dead. It is the foundation of
- 1:11:03Speaker 4: that will be built good or ill. Let's see here,
- 1:11:09Speaker 4: you've got the this is cool in the nineteen degree
- 1:11:15Speaker 4: symbols and signs that you've got a triple cross, the meter,
- 1:11:18Speaker 4: the censor, and the crown of stars. The play revolves
- 1:11:23Speaker 4: around corrupted spiritual authority, contested legitimacy, and priestly overtones. The
- 1:11:28Speaker 4: triple cross tensions appear in the War of the Roses.
- 1:11:31Speaker 4: There are three overlapping factions in that particular historic conflict.
- 1:11:37Speaker 4: So you got those three crosses representing the three parties
- 1:11:40Speaker 4: of the War of the Roses. And then Henry the
- 1:11:44Speaker 4: six is the metered king. He's pious but ineffective real quick.
- 1:11:49Speaker 4: That proverb righteousness keep it keepeth him that is upright
- 1:11:53Speaker 4: in the way, but wickedness overthrow with the center. That
- 1:11:58Speaker 4: one's pretty self explanatory. The proverbs overthrow is literally the
- 1:12:04Speaker 4: War of the Roses. Nineteen we've got resh, which meets
- 1:12:09Speaker 4: head or leadership, collapse of leadership, chaos of many heads.
- 1:12:22Speaker 4: Here we go, and again the more you go through these,
- 1:12:26Speaker 4: the more on the nose they get. The twentieth degree
- 1:12:29Speaker 4: is the master of the symbolic Lodge. Play that corresponds
- 1:12:33Speaker 4: is Richard the Third. Play summary. Richard of Gloucester schemes,
- 1:12:37Speaker 4: lies and murders his way to the throne. His manipulation
- 1:12:41Speaker 4: of appearances, oaths, and loyalty creates a reign of terror
- 1:12:44Speaker 4: that ultimately collapses and he is defeated by Henry Tudor
- 1:12:49Speaker 4: Henry the seventh. Roussalo's ambition conscience, legitimacy, and divine justice
- 1:12:55Speaker 4: and Masonry the degree focuses on the responsibilities. Is the
- 1:12:59Speaker 4: master to embody and teach truth, justice, and tolerance the
- 1:13:03Speaker 4: central virtues of leadership, restoring masonry and symbolically any institution
- 1:13:10Speaker 4: to its original purity. It's interesting because it ends with
- 1:13:15Speaker 4: a tutor the end of this play, Henry the Seventh,
- 1:13:21Speaker 4: the father of Henry the Eighth, who ends up being
- 1:13:25Speaker 4: Elizabeth's father, takes over. So this is where it drops
- 1:13:31Speaker 4: from Richard the Third and this is exactly where that
- 1:13:36Speaker 4: Maravingian line kicks back in, and it's where Bacon at
- 1:13:42Speaker 4: the end of this play, what's coming next is Bacon,
- 1:13:45Speaker 4: Elizabeth and all that whatnot. You've got keys and golden
- 1:13:52Speaker 4: circles that all tie into the play that those are
- 1:13:55Speaker 4: the signs the proverb the beginning strife is as when
- 1:14:00Speaker 4: one letteth out water. Therefore leave off contention before it
- 1:14:04Speaker 4: be meddled with warns against tyranny, conflict, and moral decay,
- 1:14:08Speaker 4: all the things that got Richard the Third deposed and
- 1:14:11Speaker 4: the tutors in there. Play begins with strife unleashed by Richard.
- 1:14:16Speaker 4: The war the roses let out the water that drowns
- 1:14:18Speaker 4: the kingdom. Richard is the archetype of the degrees warning,
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: unchecked strife, catastrophic.
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: Collapse, huge strife, a lot loving the strife.
- 1:14:30Speaker 4: Yeah, So that Hebrew letter is tav or the seal
- 1:14:38Speaker 4: or completion. Henry the seventh. Let's see here. Henry the
- 1:14:46Speaker 4: seventh was the son of Edward the third, who was
- 1:14:50Speaker 4: a plantagene His wife, Elizabeth of York, was a plantagenet.
- 1:14:56Speaker 4: So that's where the true divine right, like I was saying,
- 1:15:00Speaker 4: begins again. And I will skip on to the twenty
- 1:15:08Speaker 4: twenty first degree. This one's kind of interesting. I'll just
- 1:15:13Speaker 4: go through key things because I know this is a
- 1:15:16Speaker 4: lot of me just reading. But so the twenty first
- 1:15:22Speaker 4: degree is the Noah Kite or Prussian Night, and the
- 1:15:26Speaker 4: play there is Henry the Eighth So we're now on
- 1:15:30Speaker 4: to Queen Elizabeth. The first Dad noah Kite is a
- 1:15:34Speaker 4: non Jew who follows the seven Noah Hyde laws. So
- 1:15:38Speaker 4: it's a non Jew who follows the seven like kind
- 1:15:41Speaker 4: of Jewish laws, and it's also embodied. Those seven laws
- 1:15:49Speaker 4: are embodied in the lower Sufferer of the Kabalistic Tree
- 1:15:53Speaker 4: of Life. Let's see here. So Henry the Eighth portrays
- 1:15:58Speaker 4: the political and personal entry of Henry's reign, especially as
- 1:16:01Speaker 4: marriage to amberleyn descendant of Edward the first Plantagenet, includes ambition,
- 1:16:09Speaker 4: religious and political change, the personal cost of royal decisions
- 1:16:17Speaker 4: let's see here, arrogance and humility, courtesy and dignity. What
- 1:16:22Speaker 4: are we on number twenty one? I mean, I can
- 1:16:28Speaker 4: keep going through these things, but I'd love to find
- 1:16:34Speaker 4: some of these proverbs that are incredible.
- 1:16:39Speaker 1: I was wondering this, Ernie, this is amazing a series
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: of correspondences.
- 1:16:45Speaker 4: I was wondering, if.
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: You'll share the thirty three somewhere online, Maybe not the entirety,
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: but just the correspondences maybe just.
- 1:16:55Speaker 4: Yeah, that was that was kind of my plan to
- 1:16:57Speaker 4: get done before here and be able to like throw
- 1:17:00Speaker 4: them up instead of me just not.
- 1:17:03Speaker 1: Necessarily for us, But I just mean for you and
- 1:17:05Speaker 1: the other folks that might be interested in this, because
- 1:17:09Speaker 1: you really nailed some interesting things.
- 1:17:12Speaker 4: I think here, yeah, and it's when I'm not rambling
- 1:17:16Speaker 4: and you're looking at this and the words by side
- 1:17:19Speaker 4: by side by side, it's it's a little more incredible
- 1:17:23Speaker 4: than my uh.
- 1:17:24Speaker 1: And then I say, I see the incredibleness of it,
- 1:17:28Speaker 1: because I'm sure other people do too. But one one
- 1:17:32Speaker 1: thing that this all kinds of kind of weaves together,
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: at least in my humble opinion. There's there's the masonry,
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: there's the King James.
- 1:17:42Speaker 4: Bible, and there's.
- 1:17:44Speaker 1: The Shakespeare stories. As you're bringing together these and these
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: are all, as you pointed out, foundational to our culture today.
- 1:17:55Speaker 1: Shakespeare still is so influential to people's mind states. We
- 1:18:02Speaker 1: don't even realize it. And and it all makes me
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: think because of d and Bacon and there incredibleness and
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: and all the weird hidden aspects that they encoded with
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: everything and and put forth all these sometimes wonderful lessons really,
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: but it makes it makes me think about in the Republic,
- 1:18:29Speaker 1: there is an aspect of the dialogues where he there
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: I forget who is talking, forgive me, but they're talking
- 1:18:38Speaker 1: about the ideal nation or city state, and they are
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: talking about how there would have to be a vanguard
- 1:18:46Speaker 1: and so on, and there would have to be a mythos,
- 1:18:53Speaker 1: there would have to be these stories, and there would
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: have to be also this religion. And it's it's fascinating
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: that all that the three streams, and maybe more even
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: but the Masonry, Shakespeare, and King James Bible come together
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: right at the same time, where there's this whole New
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: world and it and in one sense, maybe it was
- 1:19:20Speaker 1: just Virginia that they were trying to make this their
- 1:19:23Speaker 1: little city state in a sense, as you alluded to
- 1:19:27Speaker 1: in the beginning, and more broadly the colonies in the
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: New World at large. But it just makes me think
- 1:19:34Speaker 1: that they really were trying to do what was put
- 1:19:38Speaker 1: forth in the Republic, and you're finding this stream that
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: really hits on it.
- 1:19:43Speaker 4: And then later echoed in Francis Bacon's short story The
- 1:19:46Speaker 4: New Atlantis. I mean, I think that that the New
- 1:19:49Speaker 4: Atlantis has become almost old hat in in conspiracy circles
- 1:19:55Speaker 4: because it's just the same old points have been have
- 1:20:00Speaker 4: been brought up for decades about the New Atlantis, but
- 1:20:03Speaker 4: it really is what this country ended up being. And
- 1:20:08Speaker 4: if you really look at this, it really truly reads
- 1:20:13Speaker 4: like the Bacons or these Merovingians this idea for this
- 1:20:18Speaker 4: this republic, because they kept trying it. I mean, the
- 1:20:22Speaker 4: Meyrivingians start in one area and they move all over Europe.
- 1:20:27Speaker 4: They move into Scotland, they move into you know, throughout
- 1:20:30Speaker 4: the connected bloodlines. They move everywhere, and they change things
- 1:20:34Speaker 4: a little bit, even down to Henry the Eighth splitting
- 1:20:37Speaker 4: away from the Roman Catholic Empire, right, and then the
- 1:20:43Speaker 4: Anglican Church ends up being the same kind of oppressive
- 1:20:46Speaker 4: force that the Holy Roman Empire was in England to
- 1:20:51Speaker 4: the Catholics who end up being in England. They oppressed
- 1:20:54Speaker 4: them the same way the Catholics were oppressing this upstart
- 1:20:58Speaker 4: kind of Protestant Protestantism. And then these Puritans and Calvinists
- 1:21:04Speaker 4: come over to the New World, and so it feels
- 1:21:09Speaker 4: like they're just jumping out of these places that are
- 1:21:12Speaker 4: a little you know, once their their enlightenment ideals get
- 1:21:19Speaker 4: like kind of exposed for not being in line with
- 1:21:23Speaker 4: the church or or or culture at the time. You know,
- 1:21:27Speaker 4: it's like the it's like the Templars who who factor
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: into this as well. Once they once, you know, they
- 1:21:36Speaker 4: become too powerful and maybe their ideas are a little
- 1:21:38Speaker 4: bit too enlightened. All of a sudden, the Pope and
- 1:21:41Speaker 4: the French King want them gone. You know, where do
- 1:21:44Speaker 4: they go? They go to Scotland and hang out with
- 1:21:50Speaker 4: the precursor to the Bruce Klan and help the Bruce
- 1:21:55Speaker 4: Klan win the independence of Scotland from England, who at
- 1:22:00Speaker 4: the time was Catholic. And they even Scotland at that
- 1:22:06Speaker 4: time gets uh like excommunicator. Bishops get excommunicated from the
- 1:22:11Speaker 4: Catholic Church. So actually, when Henry the Eighth just a
- 1:22:14Speaker 4: short time later split from the Catholic Church, Scotland was like,
- 1:22:18Speaker 4: we've been split for a while. But I don't need
- 1:22:21Speaker 4: to go through like any more questions, but like, this
- 1:22:26Speaker 4: is kind of another.
- 1:22:28Speaker 1: Question, and I would ask you to do one more
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: because I I'm maybe a plain Jane of the Shakespearean world.
- 1:22:38Speaker 4: I like Macbeth and also things line oh yeah, yeah,
- 1:22:44Speaker 4: I'm still in the twenties here, let me let me.
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: Yeah, what is the number of Macbeth?
- 1:22:51Speaker 4: And could you break that one down? Yeah? And and Juliet,
- 1:22:56Speaker 4: it's a really good one too. Tim and of Athens,
- 1:23:00Speaker 4: Caesar and let Macbeth. Macbeth is twenty eight, so it's
- 1:23:09Speaker 4: a twenty eighth degree Knight of the Sun or the
- 1:23:11Speaker 4: Prince Adept. This is where they get really cool too, man,
- 1:23:14Speaker 4: all right, So the play Summery is spurred by a
- 1:23:17Speaker 4: prophecy that his wife's and his wife's urging, Macbeth murders
- 1:23:22Speaker 4: King Duncan and seizes the Scottish throne. Haunted by guilt
- 1:23:26Speaker 4: and driven by paranoia, he commits further atrocities until he's
- 1:23:29Speaker 4: overthrown and killed. Themes ambition, prophecy, moral corruption, and the
- 1:23:34Speaker 4: overturning of natural order in masonry. The twenty eighth degree
- 1:23:38Speaker 4: Night of the Sun or Prince Adept involves universalism, intolerance,
- 1:23:43Speaker 4: deep esoteric and symbolic study of alchemy, kabbala and cosmology,
- 1:23:48Speaker 4: the pursuit of inter illumination the sun within duties of reflection, work, prayer, hope,
- 1:23:55Speaker 4: and teaching hidden truths. So the way that's represented in
- 1:23:58Speaker 4: the play obviously the occult and esoteric themes, that's the
- 1:24:02Speaker 4: whole boil, boil, whatever and toil, you know. The witch scene.
- 1:24:11Speaker 4: Witch is visions, prophetic apparisions, saturate Macbeth, making it Shakespeare's
- 1:24:17Speaker 4: most overtly occult tragedy or other than A Midsummer Night's Dream.
- 1:24:23Speaker 4: I think it's the most overtly occult play that he has.
- 1:24:26Speaker 4: This aligns with the twenty eighth degrees fascination with the
- 1:24:29Speaker 4: unseen and the symbolic perverted quests for secret knowledge. Macbeth,
- 1:24:34Speaker 4: like a twisted adept, seeks advancement by violent shortcuts rather
- 1:24:38Speaker 4: than genuine enlightenment, similar to those who in Masonic legends
- 1:24:42Speaker 4: seek the master secrets through murder. The highrom Abyss story. Also,
- 1:24:46Speaker 4: the thing you'll notice too in this mapping is that,
- 1:24:50Speaker 4: again those first degrees, it's a little less weight on them.
- 1:24:55Speaker 4: They're a little less heavy. But you also notice in
- 1:24:58Speaker 4: the first degrees that they are allegory for how you
- 1:25:02Speaker 4: should be. And then when once you get to the
- 1:25:05Speaker 4: tragedies that switch at the same time the degrees change,
- 1:25:10Speaker 4: they all become tales of like warning. All the plays
- 1:25:15Speaker 4: are don't do this, don't be like this, you know
- 1:25:18Speaker 4: what I mean? So all the all the the the
- 1:25:26Speaker 4: So the first fourteen degrees are the comedies. The first
- 1:25:30Speaker 4: fourteen plays, I'm sorry, the first fourteen plays are the comedies.
- 1:25:34Speaker 4: The first fourteen degrees are the ineffable degrees, and then
- 1:25:38Speaker 4: it switches to the chival ric and religious degrees after that.
- 1:25:42Speaker 4: And once you get to the chivalric and religious degrees,
- 1:25:45Speaker 4: that's when you start getting these these cautionary All the
- 1:25:49Speaker 4: plays are like cautionary. Don't be like Macbeth, don't be
- 1:25:52Speaker 4: like Romeo and Juliet, don't be like Richard the Third
- 1:25:57Speaker 4: and and whatnot. But within the let me see, that's
- 1:26:04Speaker 4: number twenty eight. So if we go to morals and dogma,
- 1:26:09Speaker 4: the signs and symbols of the degree listed or the Sun,
- 1:26:13Speaker 4: the zodiac wheel, the seven rays, and esoteric hermetic signs,
- 1:26:19Speaker 4: and Macbeth attempts to control fate itself, sort of brushing
- 1:26:24Speaker 4: up against the zodiac. The wis. The witches invoke hermetic
- 1:26:28Speaker 4: and planetary forces, light versus darkness, which is the sun imagery,
- 1:26:32Speaker 4: which matches to the symbols in that degree and its
- 1:26:38Speaker 4: central tension. That proverb, if I'm not mistaken, it's a
- 1:26:43Speaker 4: good one too. Let's see here. Wealth gotten, yeah, this
- 1:26:49Speaker 4: is perfect. Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished, but
- 1:26:53Speaker 4: he that gathered by labor shall increase. He literally kills
- 1:26:57Speaker 4: the king and takes over his kingdom. So vanity decline,
- 1:27:03Speaker 4: true labor increase macbeest kingship equals vanity seized unlawfully. Macbeth
- 1:27:08Speaker 4: gains a crown by vanity, murder and prophecy. His reign
- 1:27:13Speaker 4: diminishes instantly, just like the proverb says, Malcolm and McDuff
- 1:27:20Speaker 4: represent lawful labor, a flawless symbolic match the proverbs warning
- 1:27:26Speaker 4: is myth Beck's whole arc.
- 1:27:30Speaker 1: And then that correspondence is so.
- 1:27:35Speaker 4: And it as I mean, it gets ridiculous. Here we go.
- 1:27:40Speaker 4: The path in the thirty three Pathways of the Kabbalah
- 1:27:45Speaker 4: is nun or Nun, which is death and continuity. Death
- 1:27:51Speaker 4: pursues the wicked death, fate, cycles, darkness, sorcery. That's what's
- 1:27:56Speaker 4: encompassed in that. It's go back one because this one's
- 1:28:01Speaker 4: really cool too, am I right?
- 1:28:06Speaker 2: The one thing I do want to say, I just
- 1:28:07Speaker 2: want to add, like I know, somebody had to ask,
- 1:28:09Speaker 2: like at the beginning of the show about rituals being
- 1:28:12Speaker 2: like plays or anything, and I was like, yeah, I
- 1:28:13Speaker 2: think you know kind of they are. From my experience.
- 1:28:16Speaker 4: You can write them out like that for sure.
- 1:28:18Speaker 2: Yeah, but even from my experience with the oto thinking
- 1:28:23Speaker 2: about taking you know, some of the initiations, well, any
- 1:28:25Speaker 2: of the ones I did, they were fucking long and
- 1:28:28Speaker 2: drawn out, Like there's multiple people in there. You could
- 1:28:31Speaker 2: be answering and saying stuff to multiple people around you.
- 1:28:34Speaker 2: It's just like, you know what it is.
- 1:28:36Speaker 4: It is a play, right, Yeah.
- 1:28:38Speaker 2: They all give you a context of like kind of
- 1:28:40Speaker 2: like where you are and what's going on. You can
- 1:28:42Speaker 2: figure it out from what people saying.
- 1:28:44Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's I It's kind of been clear
- 1:28:50Speaker 4: to me in the back of my head that this
- 1:28:51Speaker 4: could be the case, but I never thought it would,
- 1:28:55Speaker 4: you know, stack up the way the way that it did.
- 1:29:01Speaker 4: This one here twenty four is Titus Andronicus. This is
- 1:29:08Speaker 4: the one that I was talking about with the tongue
- 1:29:11Speaker 4: being cut out. Plot summary, Roman general Titus Andronicus returns
- 1:29:16Speaker 4: victorious and sacrifices a Goth princess, sparking a revenge spiral
- 1:29:23Speaker 4: between his family and Tamora, queen of the Goths. The
- 1:29:27Speaker 4: play is famously violent and depicts mutilation, rape, and murder
- 1:29:30Speaker 4: as revenge escalates without limit. The degree Prince of the Tabernacle.
- 1:29:36Speaker 4: Number twenty four focuses on divine omnipresence, the immortality of
- 1:29:41Speaker 4: the soul, serving God, country and brethren, faith and divine
- 1:29:45Speaker 4: justice and spiritual reward. Apparent absence of the divine justice.
- 1:29:49Speaker 4: Characters shoot characters shoot arrows with pleas to the gods,
- 1:29:53Speaker 4: but no visible divine intervention arrives revenge instead of faith.
- 1:29:58Speaker 4: Let's see here the signs altar, which is crazy. He
- 1:30:06Speaker 4: sacrifices in the play. He sacrifices a Goth princess on
- 1:30:11Speaker 4: an altar. The symbols of that particular degree in freemasonry.
- 1:30:16Speaker 4: The very first one is an altar, cherubim, flaming sword,
- 1:30:20Speaker 4: veil of sanctuary. Titus is the grim priest of vengeance
- 1:30:25Speaker 4: the killing of Lavinia. The they have this big feast
- 1:30:28Speaker 4: of revenge. Alter sacrifices flaming sword, symbolizing or fits the brutality.
- 1:30:37Speaker 4: See what that proverb is. Proverb is gonna be the
- 1:30:47Speaker 4: mouth of the just, bring us forth wisdom, but the
- 1:30:50Speaker 4: fraward tongue shall be cut out. The degree teaches the
- 1:30:55Speaker 4: divine order exist even when unseen. The froward tongue describes
- 1:30:59Speaker 4: the Gos Saturnius Tamora and Aaron Rome's mouth of the Just.
- 1:31:06Speaker 4: Mutilated tongues literally become symbols in Lavinia's mutilation, that's his daughter.
- 1:31:13Speaker 4: They cut her, cut her tongue out. Proverbs imagery manifests
- 1:31:17Speaker 4: literally in a play speech, mutilation, justice, and divine silence.
- 1:31:25Speaker 4: And then I'll do Romeo and Juliet because that one's
- 1:31:30Speaker 4: pretty wild too. Fuck I'll find it real quick. But
- 1:31:38Speaker 4: now you know what Antony and Cleopatra. That's the thirty
- 1:31:41Speaker 4: second degree. So that is the highest degree in Scottish
- 1:31:44Speaker 4: Rite freemasonry other than the thirty third degree, which you
- 1:31:47Speaker 4: can only be invited to. It's an honorary degree. So
- 1:31:53Speaker 4: thirty second degree Master of the Royal Secret. And that's
- 1:31:56Speaker 4: the third that's Antony and Cleopatra place mark. Antony, one
- 1:32:02Speaker 4: of the three rulers of Rome, is torn between his
- 1:32:04Speaker 4: duty to Rome and his love for Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt.
- 1:32:09Speaker 4: Political tensions with Octavius Caesar escalate into war. Antony and
- 1:32:13Speaker 4: Cleopatra's choices lead to defeat and their suicides. The themes
- 1:32:17Speaker 4: are love, duty, East versus West, public versus private identity,
- 1:32:21Speaker 4: and the nature of greatness you've got in masonry. The
- 1:32:29Speaker 4: Royal Secret of equilibrium, the balance of opposing forces, justice
- 1:32:34Speaker 4: versus mercy, reason verse passion, spirit versus matter, harmony between
- 1:32:39Speaker 4: heavenly and earthly duties, understanding the true sovereignty is intermastery
- 1:32:45Speaker 4: and not just external. Literally the East and the West
- 1:32:50Speaker 4: as opposites Roman Egypt, love and duty, Antony's downfall as
- 1:32:54Speaker 4: a Roman who who chooses love over duty to his country,
- 1:33:00Speaker 4: transfiguration and death. In the final scenes, Cleopatri reimagines Antony
- 1:33:06Speaker 4: and herself in an almost mythic cosmic terms. Let's see,
- 1:33:13Speaker 4: that's thirty two. So the sign the signs and symbols
- 1:33:17Speaker 4: are really interesting. In this one. You've got a skull,
- 1:33:25Speaker 4: a black dagger, a Teutonic cross. Oh wait, no, that's
- 1:33:28Speaker 4: not I'm in the wrong one. Uh here it is
- 1:33:30Speaker 4: a double headed eagle, a globe, a crown, black and
- 1:33:35Speaker 4: white reconciliation. Literally Antony and Cleopatra are I just this
- 1:33:40Speaker 4: just kind of hit me, the black and white reconciliation.
- 1:33:45Speaker 4: You literally have a white Roman guy and you've got
- 1:33:47Speaker 4: this this Egyptian princess. Anthony and Cleopatra are literally two
- 1:33:54Speaker 4: heads on one imperial body. And think about the very
- 1:33:58Speaker 4: first symbol in this degree of freemasonry is a two
- 1:34:02Speaker 4: headed eagle. Their fates turned on control of the globe.
- 1:34:06Speaker 4: The double eagle, symbol of unity and duality, fits them
- 1:34:09Speaker 4: both perfectly. It's thirty two. Uh, you've got proverb. The
- 1:34:26Speaker 4: rich rule is over the poor, and the borrow is
- 1:34:28Speaker 4: the servant to the lender of the degree. Antony borrows
- 1:34:31Speaker 4: Caesar's political stability becomes servant to Rome. Cleopatra borrows Antony's power,
- 1:34:36Speaker 4: becomes servant to passion. Rome rules the poor. The proverb
- 1:34:41Speaker 4: reflects psychological, political, and karmic debts at the heart of
- 1:34:45Speaker 4: the play. Yeah, and then here we go.
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: The uh.
- 1:34:57Speaker 4: Cough is the cabalistic path, holiness or back of the head.
- 1:35:01Speaker 4: The unseen, unseen motives hidden passion, rule Destiny Othello's a
- 1:35:08Speaker 4: really crazy one too, that that degree and play are
- 1:35:16Speaker 4: all about judging. I'll just read it. I got it right. Here,
- 1:35:22Speaker 4: do one more. I'll do one more and then I'll
- 1:35:23Speaker 4: shut my mouth.
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:35:27Speaker 4: Let's see here. Yeah, thirty first degree is the inspector
- 1:35:31Speaker 4: inquisitor Athello. The plot summary Othello, a Morris general in
- 1:35:37Speaker 4: Venetian service, secretly marries Desdemona. His insign Iago drives, driven
- 1:35:44Speaker 4: by envy and malice, manipulates events to convince Othello that
- 1:35:48Speaker 4: Desdemona is unfaithful. Consumed by jealousy, Othello kills Desdemona and
- 1:35:55Speaker 4: then himself when the truth is revealed. Trust, jealousy, race, manipulation,
- 1:36:00Speaker 4: and the tragedy of misjudgment. In Masonry, the inspector inquisitor.
- 1:36:07Speaker 4: This degree concerns moral self judgment and inner tribunal of
- 1:36:11Speaker 4: conscious conscience, the duty to investigate motives with fairness and impartiality.
- 1:36:17Speaker 4: He marks his wife because some dude told him some
- 1:36:20Speaker 4: rumors about her banging somebody else. The danger of prejudice,
- 1:36:25Speaker 4: I mean literally, Othello is the only like, hey, here's
- 1:36:29Speaker 4: a black guy and a white woman play. I mean
- 1:36:30Speaker 4: that was unheard of for that time, but for then
- 1:36:34Speaker 4: the Masonic degree to literally deal in danger of prejudice,
- 1:36:41Speaker 4: rash judgment, and Brian credulity and the need to balance
- 1:36:44Speaker 4: justice with mercy. That one's pretty my mind blowing. The
- 1:36:51Speaker 4: proverb is.
- 1:36:53Speaker 3: Who's so, He's been one of my favorite plays.
- 1:36:57Speaker 4: It's great. I've seen that two or three times, and
- 1:36:59Speaker 4: it's all is one of the best. Whoso keepeth his
- 1:37:04Speaker 4: mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. The
- 1:37:07Speaker 4: degree warns against deception and manipulation, and the control of
- 1:37:11Speaker 4: speech is a core lesson of that degree matches perfectly
- 1:37:17Speaker 4: with the proverb alignment with the play Iago the unkept
- 1:37:23Speaker 4: tongue that causes ruin, so literally within the proverb it
- 1:37:28Speaker 4: talks about talking crap and screwing stuff up. Othello fails
- 1:37:33Speaker 4: to guard his mind or as speech Desdemona's innocence is
- 1:37:37Speaker 4: destroyed by false words. The proverb literally predicts the tragedy.
- 1:37:42Speaker 4: The tongue destroys the soul. And let's see here, Yeah, Othello,
- 1:37:50Speaker 4: that is gonna be Zadi or the righteous one, and uh,
- 1:37:59Speaker 4: the whole play is righteousness corrupted by deception. The inspector inquisitor.
- 1:38:05Speaker 4: Also Othello becomes the inspector inquisitor of his wife, judge, jury,
- 1:38:11Speaker 4: and executioner. So that one I forgot about that Othello
- 1:38:15Speaker 4: lines up maybe more perfectly than any of them Macbeth, Hamlet,
- 1:38:19Speaker 4: and it literally goes like that as you go down.
- 1:38:25Speaker 4: And then also the thirty third degree, which is like
- 1:38:27Speaker 4: this unknown degree you've got the very last play in
- 1:38:32Speaker 4: the Shakespeare folio, Symboline, which is a play that a
- 1:38:36Speaker 4: lot of people say, yeah, whoever wrote it, they out
- 1:38:39Speaker 4: wrote all these, but maybe not this one. It seems
- 1:38:42Speaker 4: Symboline seems like off from from the rest of them.
- 1:38:48Speaker 4: It's the thirty third degree. It's on page three sixty nine.
- 1:38:53Speaker 4: There's a correlation between thirty three and three sixty nine.
- 1:38:57Speaker 4: It's I'm sure there's I mean, this is just notes.
- 1:39:03Speaker 4: This is more that I've typed out since I was
- 1:39:06Speaker 4: in high school. For God's sakes, there's probably a book
- 1:39:09Speaker 4: in this kind of mapping these things together. But there's
- 1:39:13Speaker 4: there's tons more there. I'm pretty sure.
- 1:39:17Speaker 3: I wonder if it has anything to do with like
- 1:39:19Speaker 3: the Keys of Solomon.
- 1:39:21Speaker 4: Well, Solomon wrote, I mean, yeah, Solomon wrote Proverbs and
- 1:39:27Speaker 4: most of you know, all a lot of Shakespeare's works
- 1:39:32Speaker 4: deal with the Middle Ages. And I believe that's when
- 1:39:37Speaker 4: you know, templars are coming back and people are coming
- 1:39:39Speaker 4: back from the Crusades in the Holy Land. I think
- 1:39:42Speaker 4: that's really when Europe got saturated with actual texts from
- 1:39:49Speaker 4: those Middle Eastern occult practices and whatnot. That's when all
- 1:39:56Speaker 4: the grimoires show up. Now, they don't have anything older
- 1:39:59Speaker 4: than the Ages that is publicly known about, but all
- 1:40:04Speaker 4: this esoteric wisdom from the East pops up in the
- 1:40:08Speaker 4: Middle Ages and starts being practiced like in earnest and
- 1:40:13Speaker 4: it just so happens that coincides with the end of
- 1:40:16Speaker 4: the Crusades and the end of the Templars. So yeah,
- 1:40:24Speaker 4: any questions anymore.
- 1:40:26Speaker 1: Well, fascinating stuff. I just think those the miss ordered
- 1:40:32Speaker 1: numbers are definitely interpret uh, presenting something uh with with
- 1:40:39Speaker 1: what I've seen. The hints as far as like they
- 1:40:41Speaker 1: left behind in relation to geometry and numerology kind of
- 1:40:48Speaker 1: are what led people to go, Wait, Shakespeare is not real,
- 1:40:51Speaker 1: it was this guy. It was these So I'm sure
- 1:40:55Speaker 1: I would bet anyway that those page numbers are communicating
- 1:40:58Speaker 1: something uh. And I wonder maybe if they're it's as
- 1:41:02Speaker 1: simple as possibly with the Fibonacci sequence.
- 1:41:07Speaker 4: It's not look close, it's actually close like the Fibonacci
- 1:41:15Speaker 4: I was thinking off by like a number here or there.
- 1:41:17Speaker 1: It's weird, Okay, interesting, I was wondering, Yeah, if they
- 1:41:22Speaker 1: were each kind of their own little cipher related.
- 1:41:27Speaker 4: To something too, that they come together well interesting anyway.
- 1:41:33Speaker 4: I have a theory, and again I'm not mathematically minded
- 1:41:37Speaker 4: to take it all the way, And I'd like to
- 1:41:40Speaker 4: find somebody who could work with me, and I haven't
- 1:41:45Speaker 4: found where anybody's ever ever tried to do it. But
- 1:41:48Speaker 4: in the book The New Atlantis by Francis Bacon, it's
- 1:41:52Speaker 4: almost unreadable because the amount of numbers that are listed
- 1:41:56Speaker 4: in it, like it it's like all numbers. It's like
- 1:41:59Speaker 4: they're There were eight men and they were on two boats,
- 1:42:02Speaker 4: and they rowed out to us, and they stayed five
- 1:42:04Speaker 4: hundred feet away, and they asked us how many were
- 1:42:06Speaker 4: on the boat, and we told them fifty. And they
- 1:42:09Speaker 4: put are sick in two rooms, and they put us
- 1:42:12Speaker 4: in seventeen rooms. And I mean, it's the whole it's
- 1:42:15Speaker 4: almost unreadable because of it.
- 1:42:17Speaker 3: That's exactly how it is. It's like exhausting, and it's like,
- 1:42:21Speaker 3: what the fuck is this supposed to mean?
- 1:42:25Speaker 4: So I took I went through that book and I
- 1:42:28Speaker 4: recorded every number in order and ran it through an
- 1:42:34Speaker 4: AI program just to see if there was anything anything there.
- 1:42:40Speaker 4: And I mean and I ran it through like three
- 1:42:43Speaker 4: different AI programs and they all each one said, yes,
- 1:42:48Speaker 4: there's something here. The markers for a code are are here.
- 1:42:52Speaker 4: And then when I plugged in, hey, what about like
- 1:42:56Speaker 4: Baconian code? Because he had specific ciphers like the Baconian
- 1:42:59Speaker 4: side for that he he created himself. And then when
- 1:43:06Speaker 4: I did that, all of them were like, well, yeah,
- 1:43:09Speaker 4: you have to do this, and then they want to
- 1:43:11Speaker 4: run all these It just goes beyond my capability. But
- 1:43:14Speaker 4: there's something in that. Yeah, there's no way, there's even
- 1:43:19Speaker 4: like the in the first paragraph the words patience and deliverance. Now,
- 1:43:26Speaker 4: this is a book about Christians who are lost at
- 1:43:29Speaker 4: sea and just happened to bump into an island that
- 1:43:32Speaker 4: nobody ever knew of that's filled with other Christians that
- 1:43:36Speaker 4: save their lives, and the words patients and deliverance are
- 1:43:40Speaker 4: used on like the first page and never used again
- 1:43:42Speaker 4: in the rest of the book, which those are two
- 1:43:45Speaker 4: like I looked up the odds of that, and it's
- 1:43:47Speaker 4: it's pretty astronomical considering like the speech of the time.
- 1:43:51Speaker 4: But the two ships, remember I told you that when
- 1:43:54Speaker 4: they crash landed on Bermuda, they took apart the old
- 1:44:01Speaker 4: ship and built two ships, and they named those two
- 1:44:05Speaker 4: ships the Patients and the Deliverance. And the new Atlantis
- 1:44:11Speaker 4: came out in sixteen I believe it was sixteen twenty six,
- 1:44:16Speaker 4: So you've got The Tempest being written in sixteen ten.
- 1:44:21Speaker 4: The King James Bible in sixteen eleven. Sixteen twenty three
- 1:44:26Speaker 4: is the first folio, and then sixteen twenty six is
- 1:44:30Speaker 4: I believe when Bacon dies and The New Atlantis is
- 1:44:35Speaker 4: published posthumously. Posthumously, Yeah, so I think there's something something
- 1:44:42Speaker 4: in there, and I think that particular book connects as well.
- 1:44:48Speaker 4: And one of those ships that disappeared just happened to
- 1:44:51Speaker 4: have fifty people on it, which is the exact number
- 1:44:54Speaker 4: of the people in the New Atlantis on the ship
- 1:44:58Speaker 4: that were lost at sea. So it's interesting too. And
- 1:45:03Speaker 4: if you look back, the captain of that particular ship
- 1:45:06Speaker 4: that went missing forever was a guy named Matthew Fitch.
- 1:45:09Speaker 4: But if you look back, if your nerd like me
- 1:45:12Speaker 4: and you have the complete works of John Smith, Matthew
- 1:45:20Speaker 4: Fitch was one of the original mariners who came over
- 1:45:23Speaker 4: in sixteen oh seven, and in July of sixteen oh
- 1:45:26Speaker 4: seven he was killed by a Native. And then in
- 1:45:29Speaker 4: sixteen oh nine he's all of a sudden the captain
- 1:45:32Speaker 4: of the ship the catch in the supply mission that
- 1:45:37Speaker 4: goes missing forever, that has fifty people on it. And
- 1:45:41Speaker 4: then Bacon's Knew Atlantis comes out with a book about
- 1:45:45Speaker 4: fifty people lost at sea on a ship and a
- 1:45:48Speaker 4: dead guy was supposedly the captain of Yeah, it's weird,
- 1:45:52Speaker 4: and they specifically say in the history that the captain
- 1:45:57Speaker 4: of that particular ship that went missing the catch was
- 1:46:00Speaker 4: the mariner Matthew Fitch, who was on the original sixteen
- 1:46:06Speaker 4: oh seven mission, but right clearly in John Smith's works,
- 1:46:13Speaker 4: he talks about going out on a hunting expedition in
- 1:46:16Speaker 4: the woods around Jamestown and he gets Matthew Fitch gets
- 1:46:20Speaker 4: mortally wounded by an arrow from a native. There's all
- 1:46:24Speaker 4: kinds of weird crap in Virginia and Jamestown, Bacon and
- 1:46:28Speaker 4: stuff like that.
- 1:46:29Speaker 2: So go on forever. That's that was weird, Okay. So
- 1:46:37Speaker 2: it's sort of like wonders of why fake your death
- 1:46:42Speaker 2: or you didn't? Yeah, like yeah, like like yeah, just
- 1:46:46Speaker 2: the point of like, I don't know, was there any
- 1:46:49Speaker 2: questions that you guys wanted to ask or anything or
- 1:46:52Speaker 2: anything that you wanted to bring up? You know, I
- 1:46:56Speaker 2: think that was pretty Uh, that was a lot of shit, dude.
- 1:46:59Speaker 2: You really got one look at this Shakespeare's stuff. Dude.
- 1:47:03Speaker 4: I'm telling you, it's it's old hat. The bit I
- 1:47:05Speaker 4: feel like the the bacon Shakespeare, Mason things almost been
- 1:47:12Speaker 4: beat to death to where like even us conspiracy folk
- 1:47:15Speaker 4: are like, oh this again. But the more it all
- 1:47:19Speaker 4: trickles back, I really do think Bacon and masonry is
- 1:47:23Speaker 4: that connective tissue. As much as we want to look
- 1:47:26Speaker 4: at like the Masons now, is these like fish fry
- 1:47:29Speaker 4: community like leader guys. There is something There is a
- 1:47:33Speaker 4: nugget in that that system that I really think is
- 1:47:40Speaker 4: responsible for the stewardship of of the the kind of
- 1:47:44Speaker 4: Bacon ideal and the new Atlantis plan.
- 1:47:51Speaker 3: In the bloodlines too. It's just so weird.
- 1:47:56Speaker 4: I mean, you can't keep those bloodlines going and the
- 1:48:00Speaker 4: knowledge of them, you know, known publicly. You have to
- 1:48:07Speaker 4: do it within a system like this, and that's the
- 1:48:10Speaker 4: perfect system for for you know, the monarchy used to
- 1:48:14Speaker 4: be one thing. But again that writing was on the wall.
- 1:48:17Speaker 4: Monarchies were falling. Thank you, Thank you very much.
- 1:48:25Speaker 2: Man. Yeah, that was a lot of stuff. You got
- 1:48:28Speaker 2: me wondering about the OTO. But they have different number
- 1:48:31Speaker 2: of degrees.
- 1:48:33Speaker 4: But I mean, doesn't it I mean, it wasn't the OTO.
- 1:48:37Speaker 2: I mean, well see that's the thing too, Yeah, yeah,
- 1:48:39Speaker 2: it was, it was. It was originally more degrees and
- 1:48:43Speaker 2: when Crowley took it over. He knocked out a fun
- 1:48:45Speaker 2: one of them and also made a base on.
- 1:48:47Speaker 4: The Book of the Law and Cray.
- 1:48:50Speaker 2: But like some of the some of them, I do
- 1:48:51Speaker 2: think what's going on in the initiations still follow to
- 1:48:57Speaker 2: an extent.
- 1:49:00Speaker 4: He was a thirty third degree mason out of Mexico.
- 1:49:04Speaker 4: He went down to Mexico and studied masonry. I mean
- 1:49:07Speaker 4: he was pretty he was pretty into it, but I
- 1:49:10Speaker 4: mean he kind of did that with everything. He kind
- 1:49:12Speaker 4: of had this pattern of joining in order and then
- 1:49:17Speaker 4: causing chaos and then being like peace, I know, like
- 1:49:20Speaker 4: going starting over again with another one.
- 1:49:25Speaker 2: But yeah, before we wrap it up, I'll let U
- 1:49:29Speaker 2: let everybody plug their stuff again, Julia. I want to
- 1:49:33Speaker 2: remind everybody, but they can find all your amazing stuff.
- 1:49:36Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks so much for having me. This one was
- 1:49:39Speaker 3: really interesting. I knew it would be cosmic Peach podcast
- 1:49:43Speaker 3: wherever you listen to podcasts. I got some cool min
- 1:49:47Speaker 3: Ninda's brother stuff up right now that you can check out.
- 1:49:51Speaker 3: But yeah, thanks for having me and loved the conversation.
- 1:49:57Speaker 2: Yes, I actually got stuck so many thoughts. I was
- 1:50:01Speaker 2: just like fuck, but like it was all I I
- 1:50:04Speaker 2: don't know, I didn't want to go up on tangents.
- 1:50:06Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what happens every time I'm that work, listening
- 1:50:09Speaker 4: to the cult reject.
- 1:50:10Speaker 2: I was even like, what when.
- 1:50:11Speaker 4: You went on hearing you guys, and I'm like, oh, dude,
- 1:50:13Speaker 4: I gotta and then I find another path that I'm
- 1:50:16Speaker 4: like dying down for like three days.
- 1:50:19Speaker 2: He said something like about what the roses like thirty
- 1:50:21Speaker 2: minutes ago, and I was like kept on like thinking
