WILLIAM TUDOR

~Sub Rosa Poet-Prince~

SECRET KING OF NEW ATLANTIS

Lies, Spies, and Deep Cover

Was Sir Francis Bacon a concealed Tudor Prince;

did this Master and genius pen “Shakespeare"?

Many experts contend it is so…

This version of his illustrious life

is an uncollapsable probability cloud of fact and fantasy.

Only his genius could not be concealed.

A stealthy undercurrent of denial, disguise, deception, betrayal,

spy networks and secret societies ran through Bacon's life,

shaping him as he shaped his world with intelligence.

The language of the Occult is a hidden language.

Bacon hid his dangerous political truth in cyphers learned from his mentors,

Magus John Dee and Sir Francis Walsingham the Spymaster.

For the illiterate he used the common visual code

of graphic symbols and emblems.

The love of his life, Marguerite, is concealed in The Sonnets,

and his wit, family history, political and social commentary in the Plays.

The glory of God is to conceal a thing,

but the glory of a King is to find it out.— Francis Bacon

TO KNOW, TO DO, TO DARE, TO BE SILENT
—Hermetic Axiom

"An idea is perpetuated because it must never be mentioned."

--A. Crowley, "On Silence & Secrecy"

MAIN CHARACTERS

Elizabeth I was a highly intelligent woman, demonstrated by her survival in the most dangerous, uncertain and tumultuous situations.As well as a stateswoman, she was also an accomplished musician, playing the lute her whole life. It is, therefore, not surprising to suggest that she did, indeed, give birth to genius.

She already possessed her own.

Queen Elizabeth I, Mother

Sir Robert Dudley, Father

John Dee, Mentor, Wizard

~ * Frances Bacon, Genius/Polymath *~

Denied his mother's scepter, did Bacon trade it for that of his muse Athena, becoming the Shaker of the Speare?

Queen Elizabeth

Many prominent figures in Elizabeth's court are represented in a scene set in the gardens of Hampton Court, the Queen's summer palace. Apart from the Queen and Sir Walter, onlookers include Dr. John Dee, the Queen's astrologer; John Bull, the court organist; Elizabeth Throckmorton; Sir Christopher Hatton; Sir Francis Walsingham; William Cecil, Lord Burghley; Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester; Henry Carey, Baron Hunsdon; Sir Francis Drake; Sir Humphrey Gilbert; and Francis Bacon as a youth.

1992 Discovery of partial manuscript from Elizabethan times that contains 50 lines from Henry IV, handwriting verified to be Bacon's by Maureen Ward Gandy, leading graphologist of England.

But how could Bacon produce that volume of work -- his own plus those called Shakespeare's? Besides his sigils, cyphers, and cryptography, he wrote a book on shorthand in 1590 and likely employed many assistants, like any scholar or artist might. He may have even used this secret script for dictation. So, not all works need be in his hand. Any of Bacon's "Good Pens" could have served as secretaries.

Even the prolific can become more so with some technical assistance. He might be able to tell a tale, have it transcribed, then add his edits. There were corrections made to the Bard's published plays 10 years after his death. Shakespeare died in 1616, Fr. Bacon in 1626.

SIX DEGREES OF TUDOR BACON:
'William Tudor', aka Sir Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's Sonnets & Plays amidst an Atmosphere of Elizabethan Espionage

"The Divine Majesty takes delight to hide his work … according to
the innocent play of children … Surely for thee to follow the
example of the Most High God cannot be censured … Therefore, put
away popular applause … and after the manner of Solomon, the King
… compose a history of thy time and fold it into enigmatical
writings … and cunning mixtures of the theatre …"-Francis Bacon

DEFINING MOMENT: 1579. Bacon’s Celestial visitation -- a clairaudient experience: "The glory of God is to conceal a thing, but the glory of a King is to find it out." "A flame of fire which fills all the room and obscures our eyes with its celestial glory -- heavenly voice. Follow the example of God. Put away popular applause. Compose a history of thy times and fold it into enigmatical writings and cunning mixtures of the theatre mingled as the colors in a painters shell and it will in due course of time be found."

His plan: 1) catalogue and systematize "all the world's knowledge." (in English Language) 2) appear as model son to the Queen. Aid and support the administration of her realm. Give good advice. Enhance her image. Stay hidden behind the scenes. 3) Commit the true story to several ciphers. Live a secret (double) concealed life.

Clandestine Practices

"A man is crazy who writes a secret in any other way

than one which will conceal it from the vulgar."

~Roger Bacon, The Wisdom of Keeping Secrets, 1250

“In time the secret truth shall be revealed”~Francis Bacon, New Atlantis, 1617

“A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure.”

~Fr. Bacon, Essay on Truth, 1601

“If a man will begin with certainties,
He shall end in doubts.
But if he shall be content to begin with doubts
He shall end in certainties.”~Fr. Bacon

"Tis in my memory locked
And you yourself shall keep the key of it." ~Shakespeare

There be three degrees of this hiding and veiling of a man’s self. The first, closeness, reservation, and secrecy; when a man leaveth himself without observation, or without hold to be taken, what he is. The second, dissimulation, in the negative; when a man lets fall signs and arguments, that he is not, that he is. And the third,simulation, in the affirmative; when a man industriously and expressly feigns and pretends to be, that he is not. ~Fr. Bacon, Essay on Simulation and Dissimulation

In the seventh place, the greatest device for concealment is that of shorthand, which is a method of noting and writing down as briefly as we please and as rapidly as we desire; by this mthod many secrets are written in the books of the Latin-using peoples. I have thought fit to touch upon these methods of concealment beacause I may perhaps, by reason of the importance of my secrets, employ some of these methods, and it is my desire to aid in this way, at least you, to the extent of my ability. ~ Roger Bacon, Nullity of Magic

Secret writing became a preoccupation of the English. The reasons for writing in cipher were many and varied. As a general rule, the use of cipher in the arts was related to concealing the author's position in society. Innumerable sixteenth and seventeenth century books were either written anonymously, or signed with initials or a bogus name; some of them were secretly acknowledged. This tradition continued through history, including the following: Robert Burton wrote as Democritus Junior, Sir Walter Scott anonymously, Rev. C. L. Dodgson as Lewis Carroll, Jean Francois Marie Arouet as Voltaire, Samuel Langhorne Clemens as Mark Twain. Again, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin wrote under the pseudonym of Moliere, Richard Harris Barham as Thomas Ingoldsby, Amandine Lucile Dudevant as George Sand. The three Bronte sisters, James Bridie and George Eliot used noms de plume . Books even have been written on the subject, such as The Bibliographical History of Anonyms and Pseudonyms , by A. Taylor and F. J. Mosher (1951). Voltaire is reported to have used 137 and Benjamin Franklin 57 pseudonyms

Rather than having an interest in specific doctrines, she is interested in the EFFECTS of doctrines and policies from religion, science, psychology, and the arts. Our beliefs are the moldable raw material of the psyche, manipulated by governments, media and culture. How do we become what we are and how is that process changing in the near future?
