It's a bit on the spiritual aspect of things but I am sure that you will find very interesting things! Those are people who have been carrying on a spiritual experiment of some sort in order to find answers.
Bacon is known as well for not inventing any of the plots and few of the characters he used in Shakespeare-how about that? But as the brilliant Frances Yates said, more eloquently-he could sure add bells, whistles, bows and ribbons as the master of poetic and psychological/dramatic rhetoric that inflamed many, especially his Freemasons, who have no doubt played a central role in establishing his Empire of Science.
Bacon was called a poet by no less than Percy Shelley, and likewise called a poet by many others, to be found in the memorium 'Manes Verulamiani' of dedications to him after he died. Sadly, he was mad, the first mad Scientist, or at rate, the greatest of mad cheerleaders for his mad science, believing humans could 'enlarge the power and empire of mankind in general over the universe'. Elon Musk, Peter Theil, Yuval Nah Harari et al. sure have eaten a lot of Bacon. Bacon, in a letter, wrote that his philosophy would 'end metaphysics', as it seems to have done so for those three.
His prophecy of the victory of Scientism on display in 'New Atlantis' (published 1626) is freakish. He didn't predict the future so much as he created it. Didn't Socrates try to warn us of such poets?
Is 'New Atlantis' the first ever Sci-Fi story?
Shakespeare is directly connected to 'New Atlantis'. That's wild.
The evidence for Bacon writing the plays, or at the least for being the head writer for a group of writers is absolutely overwhelming, and has been accumulating for almost 200 years now (if not 400 years if you want to go into the weeds about it).
Truth is stranger than fiction. Did Shakespeare say that?
Someone wrote Shakespeare, and it wasn't Shakespeare. The man could barely sign his own name. John F. Mitchell's book "Who Wrote Shakespeare" is a good starting place for inquiry. https://amzn.to/3IbSxwu
Very good article. It’s difficult to explain to normies this history and these concepts, but I believe it must be done, and your work aides in this process. Thank you for the good work.
Stray thought popped up, while reading. The mythical island of Bensalem is more word magic, rearranged and pronounced slightly differently than "ben Salem," the son or offspring of Salem. Not a new Jerusalem, but a statement that it's the proper heir as designated by Bacon.
Francis Bacon's expressed scientism and need to negate and undercut Aristotle and experimental work have me considering how much else was targeted for subversion.
I just looked it up. Salem MA was founded the same year that New Atlantis was published! Crazy. For a critical scholarly look at New Atlantis get the edition with a foreword by Jerry Weinberger, who also wrote a (bit dense) scholarly book on New Atlantis that is quite critical, and even suggests that there is human sacrifice on the island, an island where the subjects are docile and sheep like. This 2nd edition looks like it has his forward. https://www.amazon.com/Atlantis-Great-Instauration-Crofts-Classics-ebook/dp/B01DQ3GZ9M
Hello, I already posted a couple of takes on your notes which I gretaly appreciate.
In the case you don't know about the existence of it, here is a thread containing 125 pages of posts, dedicated to Francis Bacon: https://cassiopaea.org/forum/threads/alton-towers-sir-francis-bacon-and-the-rosicrucians.50391/

Thanks for sharing.
Stunning summation! Well done sir-Bravo!

How anyone could read bacon's novel and think that he actually wrote Shakespeare is mind blowing

I'll be straight with you: there is no topic in the world I'm less interested in than Shakespeare authorship trutherism
