VaConspiracyLovers- Shakespeare's 33 degrees

have written a few books and write articles frequently. I got a tichi article coming out soon if I can get it together in a little video to sharing some instructions. So yeah, appreciate everybody.

over yeah, over in Scottsdal, Arizona. Not saying to go check it out, that you know to come to the event, but if you're in the area and you actually want to meet up or anything, I'm sure we'll be around after the factor. I mean or if this stuff interests you, uh, definitely check it out. Maybe I'll include like the the link for it in the show after the fact. But yeah, anybody in the area, hit us up those three days, will be around, will come come out, get your fucking

stoned chill. So yeah, uh, just put that out there now, Ernie, sir, Please, for the people who have not had the pleasure of hearing you before, first off, I would like to remind that he has done a few shows already, go check them out. Definitely fucking rabbit holes. Actually, somebody we were making jokes earlier saying that with Julie and him here we should be talking about rabbit holes and be holes. So so yeah, so please Ernie, let everybody know what your deal is and who you are.

out of this closet into the into the garage. So but we'll be back and we've got some We've got some bangers, like in the Hole, so nice. But yeah, check us out. Fure Man makes that happen.

it seems weird. And it, in my personal opinion, by the end of it, it looked like a a Masonic like maybe the first Masonic ritual to take place, like kind of officially it happened like seventeen fourteen, just three years before, like Masonry's public you know, like kind of

coming out party, and it's we talked about it. It was just a ton of aristocrats on this expedition across a mountain to supposedly find the pass through the mountains, but they'd already found the pass, and like the guides that took them were the rangers, were the ones who

had already found the pass through the Blue Ridge. And then they get over the Blue Ridge and they named the Shenandoah River the Euphrates, and then they crossed the Euphrates and have this big like party, and just all the different people on the expedition were just super glowy Jacobites and Huguenots and Masons and first kind of Virginia families, and then there was this whole presenting of these guys when they came back with these golden horseshoe pins that

had jewels in them, and different jewels for different guys. And the guy the only real account that we have of it is and I can't remember the guy's name now, but that guy was crazy, crazy, interesting Huguenot from Ireland who ended up marrying a woman named Mary Magdalen. And yeah, it's go back and listen to that one. It's it's weird, man, It's it's.

kind of create the Historic Campus. They come to a point like a triangle, and I think that I saw that and I was like, oh, I got to look at this on Google Earth. And then that opened up a ton of stuff to the point where I took my research to the director of the Historic Campus and they were kind of blown away, and I started, you know, digging into it, and it gets weirder and weirder, and you eat thinking that I was kind of too dumb to have figured this stuff out myself, and so I

just kept trying to prove myself wrong. And the more I dug to prove myself wrong, the more crap I found. And then I started to find some things that were absolutely undeniable, Like I shared on one of the episodes with you guys, the incode of the Great Pyramid of Giza on that triangle of land that also points directly to the Great Pyramid of Giza and is the exact

sit So there's all that. So all my personal research does kind of I say it revolves around Williamsburg and Virginia, but because of that, that means it revolves around everything. The beginning of masonry in this country Francis Bacon, and then from there it just keeps going back and back

and back and forward and forward and forward. And so for this one, because I lived in Williamsburg and my mom is a big Shakespeare nerd herself, I've been getting dragged to Shakespeare plays a year since I was nine years old. So I've seen everything that the entire Shakespeare cannon in every format you could think of. William and Mary has one of the largest Shakespeare festivals in the country, the Virginia Shakespeare Festival at William and Mary and put

put together in the Phi Beta Kappa Hall. So I've seen everything from Taming of the Shrew adapted to nineteen twenties like Cuban Cuban beach style, you know, like traditional plays and everything in between. And when I was nine, I couldn't stay you know, I had no idea what they were saying. What was happening. But the you know, the the older I got, I kind of learned to speak the language of Shakespeare and really kind of fell

in love with the plays. And so really one of the first things that got me into kind of the conspiracy world was the Shakespeare authorship question. And just to skip over all the because I've got a lot of crap here, but we're in the conspiracy world, so I don't believe that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare, and we can kind of skip all that. I'm part of the camp that believes Francis Bacon is Shakespeare, and for me a little differently, I'm not a total Baconian. I think it was more

Francis Bacon by committee. He had a literary society called the Society of the Helmet, who just so happened to contain like all the members were all the different people that people put forward as possible shapes Shakespeare authors. So seventeenth Earl of Oxford, the Countess of Penbroke, Sir Walter Raleigh, William Stratchey, who will play an important role in this research.

So all these guys that they've put forward that could be the alternative to who wrote the Shakespeare plays were part of Francis Akeen's literary society called the Society the Helmet, named after their patron muse Athena, because she wore a helmet and was known to shake her spear in her

sphere of knowledge in the face of the beast of ignorance. Right, and then just so happens that a man obsessed with Francis Bacon, a Williamsburg legend mentor to Thomas Jefferson, is the man who created what I think is the best state flag in the Union. It's the only flag with a booby on it. And that's actually he was obsessed with Francis Bacon. His name was George with Like I said,

he was the He was Thomas Jefferson's mentor. He was the reason that Thomas Jefferson became obsessed with Francis Bacon his whole life. And that is actually Athena wearing her helmet and holding her spear. That's kind of neither here nor there, but I forgot that.

is a relationship between the nipple and the child. The when the child latches its mouth onto the nipple, the mother's pineal gland will tell the child where it is, the time season, you know, where it is even on the planet, what up and down hold is. So I mean there is actually a very weird, interesting, uh, penal gland to penal gland conversation going on just from breastfeeding. So sometimes I wonder if that has anything to do with some cult science.

on like seven different documents. They're all legal documents and his will because he was kind of a douchebag and cheating people out of stuff a lot, and so he's always getting drug into court. And all these signatures are spelled differently and in different handwriting, So that probably points to the fact that whoever the other lawyer was or the judge was the one who signed his name to it. So we don't even know that Shakespeare or the guy

that they attribute Shakespeare to even was literate. He didn't own a book that we can tell in his will, he doesn't leave any books papers. There's never been a letter written to him or from that anybody's ever found. The guy wasn't Shakespeare. Bacon with Shakespeare. So that being said, I got obsessed with this book here, which is this gigantic tone that I paid a bunch of money for. It's an effect simile of the first folio of Shakespeare,

the sixteen twenty three that was put together. It's exactly how it came out in sixteen twenty three. It's just on a new paper and basically took a historic copy and from one of the museums and photo copied every single page. So it's exactly the way that came out the very first folio. So I get into Shakespeare, I get into the first folio and some of the weird things that go on with that. Of course that leads

leads me to Bacon. And then once you get into Bacon, you obviously you end up down the road of Bacon created Mason raes by way of Rosicrucianism. You find out that that the Masons actually claim Shakespeare and Francis Bacon

as kind of founding architects, if you will. And then when you the further you get into masonry, you start to if you dig back from masonry modern day masonry, you eventually fall back into the Stewart the Stewart dynasty, and that leads you back if you follow the uh, maternal side of that family all the way back, it ds you. It brings you all the way back to

the Mayravngians of Dan Brown fame. And really my my overall thesis of of my research now is that America was beguying As and Virginia in particular as a breakaway civilization for the Stuart dynasty. I think it was facilitated and designed by Francis Bacon. And then it has been managed and stewarded by the Scottish rite of freemasonry, sort of a thinly veiled alternative to the monarchy that they were.

But they could see the writing on the wall that their monarchy, their reign as monarchs in England, Scotland and Ireland,

wasn't gonna last long. The Stuart reign was only about one hundred years, and I mean they were deposed several times, kicked off the throne, brought back in, killed, They ran, They ran the gamut and right at the very beginning of that dynasty, Francis Bacon working for King James the first, the first Stuart monarch, right at the beginning of that, they create the Virginia Company of London and start exploring the new world, Virginia in particular. And I think that

was I really. The more and more I get into this stuff, the more I think that America maybe still but definitely its beginnings were kind of a breakaway place for the Stewart kind of ideal and this divine right of kings MAYRAVNGI and bloodline idea, which I don't necessarily believe that they have any special bloodline, but like any

other you know, monarchy, kind of bloodline. I think that this Christ's bloodline, divine right of kings was a story that they used, whether they believed it or not, to kind of imbue their their dynasty with importance. And I think they saw the right on the wall and decided the New World was the place to keep that power and that control structure going and just do it with

a different with a different face on it. And I think, right then is where you see America come up and masonry come up at the same time, and the monarchy drop off. But then you look at the Scottish right freemasonry and it is I'm about to show you it's it. Scottish right freemasonry connects Kabbala, this book right here, the sixteen eleven King James, Bible, and am I missing something

that's in Francis Bacon all together? So first off, this first Folio is structured like an initiatory ladder and not like any of the kind of anthologies of its time. The First Folio, I'm sorry, yeah, the First Folio first book in English history to divide dramatic works into three

distinct sections, comedies, histories, and tragedies. But it is identical logic to an initiatory system, in the three steps there being purification, advancement, and mastery slash sacrifice, exactly like a degree system, but published nearly a century before the Scottish writes thirty three or thirty three degree system. So if Masonry borrowed from Shakespeare, how did Shakespeare already arrange his canon?

And really not Shakespeare because he didn't exist. But the people who are who did arrange the first folio of Shakespeare? How do they arrange it in a multi stage initiation kind of system. So the sequence of the plays in the folio kind of mirror that ladder of like esoteric order. You've got the Tempest, which is an initiation. I've got a good friend, Robert Frederick. He has a great podcast

called The Hidden Life is Best. He just became on a whim, a Bacon scholar, and now he digs into all the Shakespeare works and he just picks them apart and each i mean two three hour episodes, each one on a different play, and they're incredible. And so actually what got me onto this particular track was I was doing a podcast with him and uh, he had just he did The Tempest on my suggestion because he had done Romeo and Juliet, I think as you like it, Macbeth.

And he pulled all these Masonic principles out of there and really showed how they were, you know, almost undeniably written by a Rosicrucian for that specific purpose. And he was asking which one I thought he should do next, and I was like, the tempest, and the tempest is

near and dear to my heart. Because living in Virginia, not a ton of people know this, but you know, sixteen oh seven they sent John Smith and the whole crew over here, and that whole Pocahontas trip happened, right, And but they kept dying, They kept getting mrked by the natives and starving and eating each other. In sixteen oh eight they sent another supply mission over. They eat

all that food, they're all dying out again. So then Francis Bacon takes it upon himself and mounts a massive supply mission, which is nine ships sent from sent from Plymouth over like six hundred people. They hit a This is in sixteen oh nine, they hit a hurricane right around Bermuda, and everybody survives except for two small two small ships. And that's a whole another route of research that I'm doing as well, which was some pretty interesting stuff.

But it's a rabbit hole. So two ships disappear forever. Six ships make it to the Yeah, six ships make it right away to pretty much right away to Jamestown to resupply. And during the hurricane, the largest of the ships crash lands on Bermuda. Purposely, they they shipwrecked themselves to avoid the storm, and about one hundred people on that I believe it was about one hundred people were on that ship, and they disembarked live on Bermuda for

a full year. While they're on Bermuda, they take apart the old ship, build two new ships, and by sixteen ten they set sail again and they make it over to Jamestown. And once they get to Jamestown, one of the guys who was at Bermuda on the crash landing, this guy named William Strakeye. William Strakey just happens to be one of those guys who is in Francis Bacon's

Literary Society. He gets to Jamestown, he writes a full report of everything that happens that happened for the year on Bermuda, and he sends it to Francis Bacon's new wife, and in sixteen eleven, William Shakespeare, or under the name William Shakespeare, a play is published called The Tempest, and it's all about a crash landing. I mean there's even like six names that are used as six characters in the play have names that are like, if the guy's name was John, it would be Ron. I mean they're

that close. It's it's ridiculous. The play The Tempest is about the crash landing number MUDA that was headed to Virginia. But it is one hundred percent when you break it down, it is an absolute first initiation into a mystery. It's it's kind of the crappiest of Shakespeare's plays, I think. And so you have one of Bacon's buddies writes the Report of what Happened in sixteen ten, and in sixteen eleven, that is the last play that this Shakespeare guy ever writes.

talk amongst yourselves. Okay, So sixteen twenty three, the first folio goes out. Oh that's right. So while I'm talking to Robert Frederick, this Bacon scholar, he's talking about the Tempest, and he drops it on me that it's an initiation. It's allegory. The entire Tempest, first play in the folio

of Shakespeare is an initiation allegory. And I started thinking back to my own personal Shakespeare knowledge, and I know that there's thirty six plays, and I go, will dang if that's the first If that's the first degree of freemasonry, the Tempest. There's thirty six plays in Shakespeare. And while he's like talking, I'm literally pulling up other windows and going through and looking, because I know that there's several plays of Shakespeare's that are have two and one of

them has three parts. So as I can wonder if I put the plays together that have more than one part, into one play, which is what they were. They were just published separately because they were very long plays and performed separately. If I mash those down, what number would I get? And of course I get thirty three plays. So I spend the last two months picking through the plays as best that I can and lining them up

in the order they are in this book. To the thirty three degrees of Scottish righte Freemasonry, which seems off because Scottish righte masonry doesn't come around until the seventeen hundreds.

But if you actually look into the history, depending on how far you take it back, I know, for at least for me, that in Edinburgh there was a lodge in well, let's see here what's referred to as proto Scottish right freemasonries, and the theory is that it existed between fifteen hundred and sixteen hundred that early, so just

you know, just before the first Stuart King. So a guy named William Shaw or there was something that came out called the William Shaw Statutes between fifteen ninety eight and fifteen ninety nine, and it established a set of regulations for Scottish Masons that look more like mystical guild laws than operative rules. Shaw refers to masters of the lodge and wardens in the same way that they use master and warden in the operative the speculative masonry lodges.

Now there's an unusual wave of esoteric hermetic resicrution activity in Europe between fifteen eighty and sixteen twenty. Bruno d Flood Bacon and the earliest known non operative or symbolic Masons appear in Scotland before sixteen hundred, and we know that I think it was fifteen ninety eight. King James the First, who becomes the first Stuart King, was initiated into that Edinburgh Scottish Lodge. So there is a precedent that masonry was going on in at least Scotland for sure,

much earlier. And I believe that through the mayor Benjian line and these different monarchies with these this divine right to rule kind of ethos, I believe that they were practicing these kind of ancient mystery schools in one way or another all the way back to the Mayor of Vingie and and and probably much further depending on when it was adopted from their buddy.

and they got their heads cut off. Because there's a rumor that they were spreading around that I just went and saw the queen, and I don't think she's a virgin queen anymore because a bit she looks pregnant, right, and so it's on record. These people who you know, got got merked because they were spreading this rumor about

the infidelity of the Queen. Well Francis Bacon is born to sit I can't remember his dad's name, but he was the lord keeper of the Seal four Queen Elizabeth like top advisor, and immediately upon his birth he has moved into the court. The baby he is educated by the Crown and then put through either Cambridge or Oxford and then on to Gray's End to learn law and then immediately becomes part of the court and starts taking on advisory roles and things like that with Queen Elizabeth.

Now Queen Elizabeth's mom was Anne Boleyn. Anne Berlin was the chick that King Henry the eighth stopped Catholicism in England for so King Henry the Eighth was married to Catherine of it always sounds like a Lord of the Rings. It's Spain, but Queen Catherine was King Henry the Eighth's wife. She couldn't give him any kids, so he wanted a divorcer. He went to the Pope and was like, Pope, can I please get it a divorce and the Pope said no, and that's where the big schism in the split in

England comes in. And so King Henry the Eighth and the Bishop of I guess Canterbury create this Anglican Church of England thing. And the next chick is an Berlin, and Berlin you follow her maternal bloodline back she is Plantagenet, and the Plantagenet come from the maternal side of the Merivingians, so it goes Marivngian, and then on the maternal side of the Maravingian as they die out the Carolinians. So

you're talking about the Court of Charlemagne. The maternal side of the Court of Charlemagne was comes from the Mayor Ofvingians. And then the maternal side of the Court of Charlemagne creates the plantas a line, and then on up and then and it moves right into the Bruces and the Stewarts, and and then.

is the daughter. He's like the uncle to Mary, Queen of Scott's, So Mary, Queen of Scott's had a better claim to the throne. But of course they didn't let that happen. First, they let Henry the Eight's sickly little like young son. He dies, and then bloody Mary becomes the queen and she doesn't end up with an air and she dies, and then Queen Elizabeth she's like last in line. Because I think Anne Boleyn was kind of the viewed by the monarchy as the skeasiest of all

Henry's chicks. And so Elizabeth spent most of her life in the Tower of London, like in prison, because Bloody Mary was afraid they were going to depose her and put Elizabeth in anyway, so Elizabeth doesn't have a strong claim to the throne. It's her cousin over in Scotland, and Queen Elizabeth when she gets on the throne, she's so sketched out that Mary, Queen of Scott's is going to take her out and take over the throne that

she finally has. They come to an agreement and she's like, look, if you don't try to kill me and take my throne when I die, since I'm the virgin Queen, I'll name your son James as my heir, right. So they make that agreement and then Queen Elizabeth has Mary, Queen

of Scott's head cut off. Anyway, But when Queen Elizabeth dies, that is when King James the First becomes the King of England and thus the first Stewart, and that brings in the bruces and the Mayor Vengie implantation and that whole line all comes together with the Stewarts, and I.

which I had like no idea. I never really didn't realize how problem it was, and I was like, oh, there's way too many now to where it's coincidence.

but she's not claiming you as her son. And then she's got this you know, the original Double seven spying and talking to angel demons to tell her how to

run the country. And then this little kid kicking around the court is getting and there's only there's like no letters or evidence that Francis Bacon had any contact or anything with John D. But it's so completely obvious by their interests and their their their their education that he was probably his biggest mentor there's one wood cutting that they found and people use it for all kinds of like podcasts like thumbnails and whatnot, but it's it's an

old wizard looking wizard guy who is John D holding uh like passing a lantern to a younger man, and that they're pretty sure that depicts John D. And and to spake, and I think that it's official that the old guy is John D. And they don't know who the other guy is that he's passing the Enlightenment onto.

Shakespeare wrote the Bible. But they say that because he met the Shakespeare guy, because he ran in the same circles, may have been a part of the group that historically we know that Francis Bacon was the head of that wrote the King James Bible for King James. So like Francis Bacon was officially what we know of, he was the kind of head of the council that was putting together the King James Bible. And so people assume Shakespeare wrote the King James Bible because he was part of

that group. But then when you say that Francis Bacon might probably wrote Shakespeare because he was part of that group. People are like, no, come on this, you know, I mean Stratfordians. They're like, that can't be possible, even though there's far more, you know, evidence that Francis Bacon may have quite quite possibly have been the most brilliant person to ever walk the face of the planet.

to college. By sixteen he quit because he was bored and by like I'm sorry, maybe fourteen he was there. By fifteen he quit, and then by sixteen he was back teaching. So he was teaching at one of those two prestigious schools when he was barely just a teenager, you know, and then moves on to Gray's Inn, becomes a great lawyer. And then it is in the court not only that he was doing the same things that John d was, and that he was he had a

big hand in Elizabeth's kind of spy network. He was writing tons of ciphers and mathematics and cryptology and doing it. I mean, he created the scientific method. He was he was absolutely brilliant. I mean, there's definitely evidence that he was a polymath and he could have written plays and done impossible math work. And but did that person just say they were bored before sixteen? Oh okay, this through me.

Jesse James. And you know, I asked him if he was getting any He's the guy that wrote Jesse James and the Lost Templar Treasure, which I know sounds crazy. That's why I bought the book, but it's insane. Jesse James was part of the Knights of the Golden Circle. He was a freeman and his maps that have been uncovered match up to all the templar symbolism and whatnot.

And I asked him, I was like, are you worried, you know, you're you know, exposing some of this stuff, and he was like, no, no, He's like they loved me, man. They did a blurb for the back of my book and whatnot. Because these guys added to their brand, it doesn't it doesn't hurt them, and they can pick and choose and you know, kind of explain to their their ad upts who was real and who wasn't, and who is who were using as allegory or symbolism and anyway.

So I map those thirty three degrees to the thirty three plays that started off as thirty six, but I combined the plays that have more than one part, and then that led me to mapping both the degrees and the plays onto another thing that I'll get to as I as I go through a few of these plays, and then that led me to another piece of esotericism that maps on to all of them. So this is four kind of streams of data that all all come together. And stream three and four are Stream three for sure.

I don't think anybody because I can't find it anywhere. Nobody's ever mentioned what I'll show you, which is like stream three. Now, obviously the Masons have talked about Shakespeare being one of their guys. I've even heard it said that Shakespeare wrote our our our bylaws. I think a Mason has actually said that to me. So that theory is out there. I My point with this is to

kind of show that the framework was already there before. Yeah, there's all kinds of great uh geometry in the the shakespeare first folio, but my point is to kind of show that the the framework for masonry was there in

the Shakespearean place before the Scottish right of freemasonry. And so that's the line of succession, because I think a lot of people could just look at it and go, oh, yeah, the degrees match up, because obviously, you know, the Scottish right came after Shakespeare, and so they thought this was a cool book and they took the symbolism out of it, but I think they recognized the symbolism that was already there anyway. So I'm gonna go through the tempest real quick. First,

quick summary of the tempest. Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan and master of the magical Arts, use a sorcery to shipwreck his usurping brother and others upon his island. Through careful through carefully orchestrated illusions, he confronts betrayal, restores harmony, and ultimately chooses forgiveness over vengeance. In Masonry, the entered apprentice as the first degree, represents initiation, purification, in the

awakening of latent potential. It symbolizes the beginning of the spiritual journey and moving from chaos into ordered understanding and entering the island of symbolic instruction. So in the play, Prospero functions as the initiator. He guides all the others on the island through ordeals, storms illusions tests the character much like the candidate, and freemasonry is guided through symbolic storms. Ariel performs the role of spiritual messenger, while Caliban embodies

the unrefined natural man. The apprentice must overcome. The entire island becomes an allegorical lodge of transformation. So I read those two things together and go, okay, that's one for one tempest to the first degree. Right, So then I pull out my old trustee um copy of morals and Dogma, and I'm like, well, let me just dig through these and see what signs and symbols and things like that from each degree might map onto the plays as well. Right,

So first degree, the entered apprentice, the degree symbols. There are a twenty four inch gauge, which is a measurement of time, the common gavel for breaking away vices, the rough ashlar, which is just a rough stone, and the light or the great light. So the way that's mirrored in the tempest is Prospero's entire magical operation is timed to the minute in the play, the hour has now come as a quote mirroring the twenty four inch gauge

as the symbol of time management. The shipwreck Nobles or the rough Ashlars broken down by trials, the island experience chips away their vices, just like the gabble, and then the final reconcile. Reconciliation is the perfect Ashlar, the raw characters refined. So as I'm going through that, I start, I don't know if I can pick this up and show you guys real quick. Another really strange that this this book is batshit crazy. Can you see that? Do you see? This is the table of contents, right, do

you see? Just take a quick look at the numbers of the pages, and what you'll notice is like the tempest starts at page one, but then all the other page numbers are out of order. You can be on page two hundred and fifty, flip over two pages and you're on page forty five and then and that's that's something that people have brought up about this. I mean, here's page ninety three. I go back a big chance, back to fifty way back here. I'm back to fifty five.

I mean, and I've always thought that that meant something, but I'm not mathematically minded. So whatever codes that you know, Petro Aminsen and the Oak Island boys are figuring out like, I don't have the wherewithal. But what I did notice was that the very last, the very last play in the Shakespearean First Folio, starts on page three sixty nine, and it's only about five or six pages long, right, So that puts me around three hundred and seventy five.

And so I start looking around, like, what from sixteen to eleven, what was Bacon involved in that might match to that? Well, three sixty nine is like a perfect number. I can't remember I went through all that, but I try to stay away from the numerology as much as I can. But I start looking around, and what I find is that Proverbs in the Bible has exactly three hundred and seventy five proverbs. So Solomon wrote Proverbs. We all know that Francis Bacon was obsessed with Solomon. The

Masons are obsessed with Solomon. And I'm like, maybe this is a match. And since we have this whole table of random numbers, almost this random number generator, I was like, there's no way that these these numbers could match up to the corresponding the play with the corresponding proverb. And so when I say three hundred and seventy five proverbs. These proverbs are things like, let's see here, a wise son maketh a glad father, but a foolish son is

the heaviness of his mother. They're like two line little pieces of wisdom that Solomon wrote down. And the crazy thing is is that nobody in the history of the Bible has ever took Everybody talks about how amazing advice this solemnnic these proverbs are, but nobody wants has ever gone and just pulled them out in order and just put one, two, three, four, five, Nobody all the way

down to three seventy five. So I had to open the Bible and go through three hundred and seventy five proverbs in order and write them down right, And I'm glad I did because so And what you'll see with the way these map in the beginning degrees just like the degrees are in masonry. It's a little light. The symbolism fits, but it might be a little bit tangential and a little fluffy and not real. There's not a

whole lot of like weight on it. And then as we get further and further and further in, it becomes more exact and more perfectly matched up with everything to the point where the proverb that matches up with Titus Andronicus Titus Andronicus is a is a tragedy play by Shakespeare, and at one point somebody cuts the tongues out of his daughter, or the tongue out of it to either two daughters, and anyway, somebody gets a tongue cut out, and the proverb that matches up. And remember we're not

just going in order one through thirty three proverbs. We're going from proverb one to proverb twenty to proverb thirty eight to proverbs sixty one, and they match up bank bang bang bang, And the proverb that matches up with Titus Andronicus literally talks about cutting someone's tongue out. So I beyond that. So I find this stuff, and I map out all these dang proverbs, and then I move on because obviously the number thirty three is popping up over and over and over and over and over again.

And the other piece of this Bacon Shakespeare Mason kind of salad is always kabbala. You always hear, you know, the kabbala is basically a basis for masonry, and that everything kind of distills in each degree kind of distills back to a Kabbalistic principle. And I've asked master Masons. I asked the the worshipful master of a lodge, like, hey, what do you know about the Kabbala? This is a thirty two degree, a thirty second degree Mason. He's like,

I've never even heard of it. Now, I know the guy pretty well, and if he was, you know, if he was bullshitting me, I feel like i'd have known it. But I've asked other people, and you can go online to forums and stuff like that and you'll see you'll see Masons all day be like nothing to do with Kabbala, like, but it's absolutely clear that it is. And if you read Morals and Dogmen anything by Albert Pike, the Kabbala was Pikes. That was his preferred kind of esoteric kind

of framework. So it is in there, specifically in Scottish righte freemasonry. So I start looking around into the Kabbala.

And so that gives you thirty two paths. But Kabbala always speaks of the thirty third path that cannot be named, the path beyond form, corresponding to ketter or einsoft It's heavily emphasized in Lurianic Kabbala, Hermetic Kabala, which is of Bacon's day sixteenth and seventeenth. The seventeenth century Christian novelists

and Rosa Cruscian manuscripts. So this particular kind of ladder of thirty three pathways maps right onto the time and place that that Francis Bacon was was was, you know, messing around and working off of So I've gone through. I'm not going to go through all thirty three plays, but I do have some favorites. Trust me when I say that they all match up pretty great. But I'm gonna jump. So we went through the tempest a little bit. Let's do much Ado about Nothing. That's the sixth degree.

Much Ado in About Nothing is the sixth play. It is the the sixth degree of Scottish rape free Masonry is the intimate secretary. The summary of the play, Beatrice and Benedict engage in witty verbal combat, while Claudio and Hero navigate betrayal and reconciliation. Love triumphs, but only after truth is brought to light. In masonry, the degree centers on confidence, service, accurate witnessing, and faithful transmission of truth.

So the sexton in the play is a character in the play acts as a recorder, so literally this is the intimate secretary. In the The sexton.

a core lesson of the degree. So right there, core lesson of the degree is mapped out right into the right into the play there and then from morals and dogma. The degree symbols two class hands, curtains, half drawn triangular arrangement of secret letters red and white, which stand for passion and purity, the way that mirrors in the play. The entire plot revolves around broken trust rebuilding of confidence

between characters Hero, Claudio, Benedict and Beatrice. Everything is overheard behind curtains, hedges, partial concealments, perfect symbol of the half drawn veil, red and white. Obviously this is a All his comedies are also love triangles. So red and white, Hero's innocence stained by false accusation, Red Bam and then we go to six on the proverbs much ado, Yeah, that is proverb one oh one or proverbs for eighteen. The wisdom of the prude is to understand his way,

but the folly of the fool is deceit. Aligns with the sixth degree, the intimate secretary. The degree stresses discernment, accurate record, truth versus deception accurate record. You're talking about that secretary there. The wisdom of the prudence to understand his way equals the secretary's duty. Folly is deceit. That's the degree's warning. Don Pedro and Leonardo equal prudence and understanding. Claudio is deceived. Benedict and Beatrice truth disguises wit, and

Don Don John folly is deceit incarnate. So the sixth degree is about the ability to tell the truth from falhood and the entire plays in June, and then you run over here to the Kabbalah, and that particular play lines up with number six, the sixth pathway, which is tifferet, which means beauty or harmony or harmony after conflict. So again tifferrett equals the heart. The heart equals Benedict and

Beatrice harmony restored through speech, misunderstanding, and reconciliation. So the other great thing about the Shakespeare plays mapping onto the degrees of freemasonry is that they go the first I believe it's twelve plays. Let me make sure, all right, I'll get to it. Oh, here we go. The first fourteen plays in the in the Shakespeare folio are the comedies, and they are all light love triangles, comedic. Right at play number fifteen is where the histories and tragedies start

in freemasonry. The first fourteen degrees are the ineffable degrees a little bit lighter. And then in the fifteenth degree, that's right where the historical and religious degrees begin, and so also where the histories and tragedies begin in the first folio. So I'm gonna jump to where are my stars at? Yeah, here we go. I'm gonsa jump to the eighteenth degree. I find this one. This grouping of these degrees and play is really interesting. So the play

that we're talking about is Henry the Fifth. We've jumped to the the kind of nightly degrees, and we've jumped to the histories. In the Shakespearean plays. The eighteenth degree is the Night of the Rose Cross, the play is Henry the Fifth. It's that also not only does is this where the kind of knightly degrees start, but it's also interesting that the first place that like rose Accrucianism is mentioned within the degrees is the also the start

of the histories here. So Henry the Fifth follows King Henry's transformation from reckless prince to a responsible and inspiring monarch. The place centers on his leadership during the war with France, especially the Battle of Agan Court. Themes include honor, duty, legitimacy, and the burden of kingship, as well as the attempt

to reconcile former vices with present virtue. In masonry, in the eighteenth degree, the Knight of the rose Cross degree is the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth to illustrate universal principles of life and morality. It emphasizes virtue over vice, tolerance over love, the reconciliation of opposites, the discover of the true word or logos within oneself. It's a degree

of inner transformation. In the play, Henry the Fifth can be read as a monarch undergoing rose Cross transformation, as far as reconciliation of opposites Henry is both pious and ruthless. He speaks eloquently of honor and unity. Few we happy. Few remember that line. Yet he threatens halfer and sanctions executions. He wrestles with tensions between mercy and necessity. The true word within is represented by Henry's transformation from Prince hal

to King. Henry suggests a man has aligned his outward actions with an inner sense of calling and kingship, a discovery of his royal logos tolerance and union. By seeking to unite England and France, symbolized through his marriage to Catherine, Henry attempts to heal divisions and build a broad unity and echo of the degrees called to transcend sectarianism and embrace a higher, reconcilitatory love. You jumped to the signs and symbols of the eighteenth degree in freemasonry, and again

this is really cool. So the eighteenth degree of freemasonry is the Knight of the Rose Cross. The play is King Henry the Fifth. Henry the Fifth was the last king before the War of Roses, and his son presided was the King of England during the War of Roses. So the degree symbols are the Rose cross, the Pelican equal sacrifice, the eagle, which eagles, vision, the lamb in seven seals, and red and white and the way you

find those. In the play, Henry repeatedly cast himself as the sacrificial leader, bearing the sins of his army, his transformation from how is a rose cross resurrection, and Asian Court is framed as the red and white miracle. And then that proverb, this is where the proverbs start to get a little bit more on the nose, even eighteen he this is again sixty nine page I'm sorry, play starts on page sixty nine. The proverb, the sixty ninth

proverb is he that diligently seeketh good, procureth favor. But he that seeketh mischief, it shall come unto him, alignment with Henry the fifth. Henry diligently seeks good on her unity victory the French, and the French or the traders seek mischief in return to destroy them. So it's kind of it's almost a perfect alignment from virtue to favor to mischief to defeat. And then that mapping onto.

then the Saint Crispin's Day speech. You look any of those up. They've been quoted a million times in a million movies about war and whatnot, And specifically the path in the Kabbalah on that thirty three run ladder of this cabalistic system means mouth or speech obviously, speeches, power of the word and the logos thing. Nineteenth degree is the nineteenth degree is the Grand Pontiff. The play that

corresponds as Henry the sixth play. Summary Across the Henry the Sixth trilogy, England's Fortunes Decline Abroad and at Home. Part one shows the loss of France and the rise of Joan of Arc and Talbot. Part two depicts the escalating factionalism and civil unrest. Part three plunges fully into the Wars of the Roses, with brutal battles between Lancaster and York culminating in the Shattered Realm and the rise

of Richard the Third. Themes include collapse of legitimate authority, the cost of war, the legacy of nobility, and heroism in masonry. The grand pond of Degree stresses the continuity and influence of the past on the present future. The play is all things that result from from past deeds, the struggle between light and darkness, good and evil, the idea that good ultimately triumphs Mason's responsibility to uplift future

generations and to think beyond his own era. So in the play moral ambiguity and struggle, Henry the Six is personally devout and gentle but politically weak, while figures like Margaret and York display ruthless ambition. The past shaping the future the wars betrayals misjudgments in Henry the Six plant the seeds for him or for Richard the Third, who is the next play In the next the next example, the entire are echoes of the nineteenth degree insistence that

the past is never dead. It is the foundation of that will be built good or ill. Let's see here, you've got the this is cool in the nineteen degree symbols and signs that you've got a triple cross, the meter, the censor, and the crown of stars. The play revolves around corrupted spiritual authority, contested legitimacy, and priestly overtones. The triple cross tensions appear in the War of the Roses. There are three overlapping factions in that particular historic conflict.

So you got those three crosses representing the three parties of the War of the Roses. And then Henry the six is the metered king. He's pious but ineffective real quick. That proverb righteousness keep it keepeth him that is upright in the way, but wickedness overthrow with the center. That one's pretty self explanatory. The proverbs overthrow is literally the War of the Roses. Nineteen we've got resh, which meets head or leadership, collapse of leadership, chaos of many heads.

Here we go, and again the more you go through these, the more on the nose they get. The twentieth degree is the master of the symbolic Lodge. Play that corresponds is Richard the Third. Play summary. Richard of Gloucester schemes, lies and murders his way to the throne. His manipulation of appearances, oaths, and loyalty creates a reign of terror that ultimately collapses and he is defeated by Henry Tudor Henry the seventh. Roussalo's ambition conscience, legitimacy, and divine justice

and Masonry the degree focuses on the responsibilities. Is the master to embody and teach truth, justice, and tolerance the central virtues of leadership, restoring masonry and symbolically any institution to its original purity. It's interesting because it ends with a tutor the end of this play, Henry the Seventh, the father of Henry the Eighth, who ends up being

Elizabeth's father, takes over. So this is where it drops from Richard the Third and this is exactly where that Maravingian line kicks back in, and it's where Bacon at the end of this play, what's coming next is Bacon, Elizabeth and all that whatnot. You've got keys and golden circles that all tie into the play that those are the signs the proverb the beginning strife is as when

one letteth out water. Therefore leave off contention before it be meddled with warns against tyranny, conflict, and moral decay, all the things that got Richard the Third deposed and the tutors in there. Play begins with strife unleashed by Richard. The war the roses let out the water that drowns the kingdom. Richard is the archetype of the degrees warning, unchecked strife, catastrophic.

lot of me just reading. But so the twenty first degree is the Noah Kite or Prussian Night, and the play there is Henry the Eighth So we're now on to Queen Elizabeth. The first Dad noah Kite is a non Jew who follows the seven Noah Hyde laws. So it's a non Jew who follows the seven like kind of Jewish laws, and it's also embodied. Those seven laws are embodied in the lower Sufferer of the Kabalistic Tree

of Life. Let's see here. So Henry the Eighth portrays the political and personal entry of Henry's reign, especially as marriage to amberleyn descendant of Edward the first Plantagenet, includes ambition, religious and political change, the personal cost of royal decisions let's see here, arrogance and humility, courtesy and dignity. What are we on number twenty one? I mean, I can keep going through these things, but I'd love to find some of these proverbs that are incredible.

don't even realize it. And and it all makes me think because of d and Bacon and there incredibleness and and all the weird hidden aspects that they encoded with everything and and put forth all these sometimes wonderful lessons really, but it makes it makes me think about in the Republic, there is an aspect of the dialogues where he there I forget who is talking, forgive me, but they're talking about the ideal nation or city state, and they are talking about how there would have to be a vanguard

and so on, and there would have to be a mythos, there would have to be these stories, and there would

have to be also this religion. And it's it's fascinating that all that the three streams, and maybe more even but the Masonry, Shakespeare, and King James Bible come together right at the same time, where there's this whole New world and it and in one sense, maybe it was just Virginia that they were trying to make this their little city state in a sense, as you alluded to in the beginning, and more broadly the colonies in the

New World at large. But it just makes me think that they really were trying to do what was put forth in the Republic, and you're finding this stream that really hits on it.

this republic, because they kept trying it. I mean, the Meyrivingians start in one area and they move all over Europe. They move into Scotland, they move into you know, throughout the connected bloodlines. They move everywhere, and they change things a little bit, even down to Henry the Eighth splitting away from the Roman Catholic Empire, right, and then the Anglican Church ends up being the same kind of oppressive force that the Holy Roman Empire was in England to

the Catholics who end up being in England. They oppressed them the same way the Catholics were oppressing this upstart kind of Protestant Protestantism. And then these Puritans and Calvinists come over to the New World, and so it feels like they're just jumping out of these places that are a little you know, once their their enlightenment ideals get like kind of exposed for not being in line with

the church or or or culture at the time. You know, it's like the it's like the Templars who who factor into this as well. Once they once, you know, they become too powerful and maybe their ideas are a little bit too enlightened. All of a sudden, the Pope and the French King want them gone. You know, where do they go? They go to Scotland and hang out with the precursor to the Bruce Klan and help the Bruce Klan win the independence of Scotland from England, who at

the time was Catholic. And they even Scotland at that time gets uh like excommunicator. Bishops get excommunicated from the Catholic Church. So actually, when Henry the Eighth just a short time later split from the Catholic Church, Scotland was like, we've been split for a while. But I don't need to go through like any more questions, but like, this is kind of another.

King Duncan and seizes the Scottish throne. Haunted by guilt and driven by paranoia, he commits further atrocities until he's overthrown and killed. Themes ambition, prophecy, moral corruption, and the overturning of natural order in masonry. The twenty eighth degree Night of the Sun or Prince Adept involves universalism, intolerance, deep esoteric and symbolic study of alchemy, kabbala and cosmology, the pursuit of inter illumination the sun within duties of reflection, work, prayer, hope,

and teaching hidden truths. So the way that's represented in the play obviously the occult and esoteric themes, that's the whole boil, boil, whatever and toil, you know. The witch scene. Witch is visions, prophetic apparisions, saturate Macbeth, making it Shakespeare's most overtly occult tragedy or other than A Midsummer Night's Dream. I think it's the most overtly occult play that he has. This aligns with the twenty eighth degrees fascination with the

unseen and the symbolic perverted quests for secret knowledge. Macbeth, like a twisted adept, seeks advancement by violent shortcuts rather than genuine enlightenment, similar to those who in Masonic legends seek the master secrets through murder. The highrom Abyss story. Also, the thing you'll notice too in this mapping is that, again those first degrees, it's a little less weight on them. They're a little less heavy. But you also notice in the first degrees that they are allegory for how you

should be. And then when once you get to the tragedies that switch at the same time the degrees change, they all become tales of like warning. All the plays are don't do this, don't be like this, you know what I mean? So all the all the the the So the first fourteen degrees are the comedies. The first fourteen plays, I'm sorry, the first fourteen plays are the comedies. The first fourteen degrees are the ineffable degrees, and then it switches to the chival ric and religious degrees after that.

And once you get to the chivalric and religious degrees, that's when you start getting these these cautionary All the plays are like cautionary. Don't be like Macbeth, don't be like Romeo and Juliet, don't be like Richard the Third and and whatnot. But within the let me see, that's

number twenty eight. So if we go to morals and dogma, the signs and symbols of the degree listed or the Sun, the zodiac wheel, the seven rays, and esoteric hermetic signs, and Macbeth attempts to control fate itself, sort of brushing up against the zodiac. The wis. The witches invoke hermetic and planetary forces, light versus darkness, which is the sun imagery, which matches to the symbols in that degree and its central tension. That proverb, if I'm not mistaken, it's a

good one too. Let's see here. Wealth gotten, yeah, this is perfect. Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished, but he that gathered by labor shall increase. He literally kills the king and takes over his kingdom. So vanity decline, true labor increase macbeest kingship equals vanity seized unlawfully. Macbeth

gains a crown by vanity, murder and prophecy. His reign diminishes instantly, just like the proverb says, Malcolm and McDuff represent lawful labor, a flawless symbolic match the proverbs warning is myth Beck's whole arc.

between his family and Tamora, queen of the Goths. The play is famously violent and depicts mutilation, rape, and murder as revenge escalates without limit. The degree Prince of the Tabernacle. Number twenty four focuses on divine omnipresence, the immortality of the soul, serving God, country and brethren, faith and divine justice and spiritual reward. Apparent absence of the divine justice.

Characters shoot characters shoot arrows with pleas to the gods, but no visible divine intervention arrives revenge instead of faith. Let's see here the signs altar, which is crazy. He sacrifices in the play. He sacrifices a Goth princess on an altar. The symbols of that particular degree in freemasonry. The very first one is an altar, cherubim, flaming sword, veil of sanctuary. Titus is the grim priest of vengeance the killing of Lavinia. The they have this big feast

of revenge. Alter sacrifices flaming sword, symbolizing or fits the brutality. See what that proverb is. Proverb is gonna be the mouth of the just, bring us forth wisdom, but the fraward tongue shall be cut out. The degree teaches the divine order exist even when unseen. The froward tongue describes the Gos Saturnius Tamora and Aaron Rome's mouth of the Just. Mutilated tongues literally become symbols in Lavinia's mutilation, that's his daughter.

They cut her, cut her tongue out. Proverbs imagery manifests literally in a play speech, mutilation, justice, and divine silence. And then I'll do Romeo and Juliet because that one's pretty wild too. Fuck I'll find it real quick. But now you know what Antony and Cleopatra. That's the thirty second degree. So that is the highest degree in Scottish Rite freemasonry other than the thirty third degree, which you can only be invited to. It's an honorary degree. So

thirty second degree Master of the Royal Secret. And that's the third that's Antony and Cleopatra place mark. Antony, one of the three rulers of Rome, is torn between his duty to Rome and his love for Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. Political tensions with Octavius Caesar escalate into war. Antony and Cleopatra's choices lead to defeat and their suicides. The themes are love, duty, East versus West, public versus private identity,

and the nature of greatness you've got in masonry. The Royal Secret of equilibrium, the balance of opposing forces, justice versus mercy, reason verse passion, spirit versus matter, harmony between heavenly and earthly duties, understanding the true sovereignty is intermastery and not just external. Literally the East and the West as opposites Roman Egypt, love and duty, Antony's downfall as a Roman who who chooses love over duty to his country,

transfiguration and death. In the final scenes, Cleopatri reimagines Antony and herself in an almost mythic cosmic terms. Let's see, that's thirty two. So the sign the signs and symbols are really interesting. In this one. You've got a skull, a black dagger, a Teutonic cross. Oh wait, no, that's not I'm in the wrong one. Uh here it is a double headed eagle, a globe, a crown, black and

white reconciliation. Literally Antony and Cleopatra are I just this just kind of hit me, the black and white reconciliation. You literally have a white Roman guy and you've got this this Egyptian princess. Anthony and Cleopatra are literally two heads on one imperial body. And think about the very first symbol in this degree of freemasonry is a two headed eagle. Their fates turned on control of the globe. The double eagle, symbol of unity and duality, fits them

both perfectly. It's thirty two. Uh, you've got proverb. The rich rule is over the poor, and the borrow is the servant to the lender of the degree. Antony borrows Caesar's political stability becomes servant to Rome. Cleopatra borrows Antony's power, becomes servant to passion. Rome rules the poor. The proverb reflects psychological, political, and karmic debts at the heart of the play. Yeah, and then here we go.

This degree concerns moral self judgment and inner tribunal of conscious conscience, the duty to investigate motives with fairness and impartiality. He marks his wife because some dude told him some rumors about her banging somebody else. The danger of prejudice, I mean literally, Othello is the only like, hey, here's

a black guy and a white woman play. I mean that was unheard of for that time, but for then the Masonic degree to literally deal in danger of prejudice, rash judgment, and Brian credulity and the need to balance justice with mercy. That one's pretty my mind blowing. The proverb is.

talks about talking crap and screwing stuff up. Othello fails to guard his mind or as speech Desdemona's innocence is destroyed by false words. The proverb literally predicts the tragedy. The tongue destroys the soul. And let's see here, Yeah, Othello, that is gonna be Zadi or the righteous one, and uh, the whole play is righteousness corrupted by deception. The inspector inquisitor. Also Othello becomes the inspector inquisitor of his wife, judge, jury,

and executioner. So that one I forgot about that Othello lines up maybe more perfectly than any of them Macbeth, Hamlet, and it literally goes like that as you go down. And then also the thirty third degree, which is like this unknown degree you've got the very last play in the Shakespeare folio, Symboline, which is a play that a lot of people say, yeah, whoever wrote it, they out wrote all these, but maybe not this one. It seems Symboline seems like off from from the rest of them.

It's the thirty third degree. It's on page three sixty nine. There's a correlation between thirty three and three sixty nine. It's I'm sure there's I mean, this is just notes. This is more that I've typed out since I was in high school. For God's sakes, there's probably a book in this kind of mapping these things together. But there's there's tons more there. I'm pretty sure.

the grimoires show up. Now, they don't have anything older than the Ages that is publicly known about, but all this esoteric wisdom from the East pops up in the Middle Ages and starts being practiced like in earnest and it just so happens that coincides with the end of the Crusades and the end of the Templars. So yeah, any questions anymore.

in it, like it it's like all numbers. It's like they're There were eight men and they were on two boats, and they rowed out to us, and they stayed five hundred feet away, and they asked us how many were on the boat, and we told them fifty. And they put are sick in two rooms, and they put us in seventeen rooms. And I mean, it's the whole it's almost unreadable because of it.

side for that he he created himself. And then when I did that, all of them were like, well, yeah, you have to do this, and then they want to run all these It just goes beyond my capability. But there's something in that. Yeah, there's no way, there's even

like the in the first paragraph the words patience and deliverance. Now, this is a book about Christians who are lost at sea and just happened to bump into an island that nobody ever knew of that's filled with other Christians that save their lives, and the words patients and deliverance are used on like the first page and never used again in the rest of the book, which those are two like I looked up the odds of that, and it's it's pretty astronomical considering like the speech of the time.

But the two ships, remember I told you that when they crash landed on Bermuda, they took apart the old ship and built two ships, and they named those two ships the Patients and the Deliverance. And the new Atlantis came out in sixteen I believe it was sixteen twenty six, So you've got The Tempest being written in sixteen ten. The King James Bible in sixteen eleven. Sixteen twenty three is the first folio, and then sixteen twenty six is I believe when Bacon dies and The New Atlantis is

published posthumously. Posthumously, Yeah, so I think there's something something in there, and I think that particular book connects as well. And one of those ships that disappeared just happened to have fifty people on it, which is the exact number of the people in the New Atlantis on the ship that were lost at sea. So it's interesting too. And if you look back, the captain of that particular ship that went missing forever was a guy named Matthew Fitch.

But if you look back, if your nerd like me and you have the complete works of John Smith, Matthew Fitch was one of the original mariners who came over in sixteen oh seven, and in July of sixteen oh seven he was killed by a Native. And then in sixteen oh nine he's all of a sudden the captain of the ship the catch in the supply mission that

goes missing forever, that has fifty people on it. And then Bacon's Knew Atlantis comes out with a book about fifty people lost at sea on a ship and a dead guy was supposedly the captain of Yeah, it's weird, and they specifically say in the history that the captain of that particular ship that went missing the catch was the mariner Matthew Fitch, who was on the original sixteen oh seven mission, but right clearly in John Smith's works, he talks about going out on a hunting expedition in

the woods around Jamestown and he gets Matthew Fitch gets mortally wounded by an arrow from a native. There's all kinds of weird crap in Virginia and Jamestown, Bacon and stuff like that.

community like leader guys. There is something There is a nugget in that that system that I really think is responsible for the stewardship of of the the kind of Bacon ideal and the new Atlantis plan.

see you and Ethan appreciate it as well. I owed both you guys are on the seam like time zone, so yeah, I appreciate you guys dealing with this as well. And Ernie for real, for real, it's always a pleasure to have you on. You always welcome on. Anytime you got a topic, you know, you can always hit me on hell yeah, you know. It's always some wild shit.
