Reddit — Ask Me Anything

Today, July 23rd, at noon, PST, I’m hosting an AMA event (“Ask Me Anything”) on reddit. I’m grateful to have been given this remarkable opportunity by the reddit moderators. The site has nearly half a million subscribers and they get to ask… anything! (About the Shakespeare discoveries, at least!)
I’m setting aside all of today and much of next week to answer any and all questions. I hope you’ll pop in and participate. The link is here:
It should be a productive, fun discussion concerning revolutionary discoveries that reveal a side of Shakespeare utterly unsuspected by his fans, scholars (and even detractors) around the globe.
As readers of this blog know I’ve spent 12 years in relative seclusion researching and gathering this information into a form that could be easily grasped by a curious, open-minded public.
Why so long?
It’s such a huge departure from the orthodox story we’ve all been taught (concerning the untraveled, uneducated, and likely illiterate son of a Stratford glove-maker) that I knew I’d be mercilessly attacked by many vested-interest parties whose paradigms and livelihoods would be threatened. I had to be meticulous about documenting everything in minute detail:
— the poetry that obeys disciplined rules of structure whilst numerically encoding astronomical truths unknown at the time.
— the geometric measurements embedded in the Sonnets title page revealing the world’s most important mathematical constants.
Those years of patience and precision have hopefully paid off because to anyone genuinely committed to finding the truth and willing to do their own checking, the math does not lie. For the answers to many of the questions that will likely be asked, click here:
To kick the event off I’ve already posted the answer to the most common question I’m asked whenever I speak publicly about this:
Q: “Why?”
(As in… “Why did the great poet/playwright go to these enormous lengths to encode this elegant poetic/mathematical puzzle at such personal risk to himself?”)
A: I believe this masterpiece subterfuge was intentionally set up by the real Shakespeare (and his polymath accomplice, Dr. John Dee) for multiple purposes. Like all great art it communicates on many levels, reaching us wherever we’re ready and able to apprehend it.
On the basic, human level there’s a tragic, comedic, personal story hidden in the plays and poems, particularly the Sonnets.
On a deeper, intellectual level, there are mathematical and philosophical truths being conveyed that were considered heretical and forbidden by the church at the time.
On the highest, spiritual level, he’s conveying an extraordinary scripture encompassing secret, hermetic truths and principles mined from the depths of Ancient wisdom.
And overall he delivers the entire thing with a courtier’s flourish, wrapped in a gorgeous red bow, as a brilliantly entertaining Game designed to educate us, spiritually, to the true mystery of life. The most profound Truth of all… “it’s all one” (from Twelfth Night).
So are we reddi? The Game’s afoot!
