The Francis Bacon Research Trust
Aims of the Trust The Trust researches and provides education in the philosophy, life and works of Sir Francis Bacon, Shakespeare, the Rosicrucians and other key exponents of the Ancient Perennial Wisdom associated with Francis Bacon or having a bearing on his work.
The Great Instauration The Trust especially focuses on the Wisdom teachings embodied in these works, and with the Baconian-Rosicrucian plan and method known as the Great Instauration or Six Days' Work.
The Six Day's Work

The Six Days' Work, using the science of Genesis, is a long-term creative programme and method intended to help bring about a world-wide illumination, prosperity and peace based on a knowledge of the laws of love.

The First Day

The Baconian-Rosicrucian work carried out during the 16th/17th centuries was called the 'First Day' of the Six Days' Work, its intention being to provide an inspirational 'Light' from which everything else would proceed and which would give illumination on the path in the centuries and ages ahead.

The Light of Wisdom

This Light is the wisdom of ages synthesised from many sources and gathered together in books, drama, music and art, under the guiding direction of Francis Bacon and other inspired initiates who worked with him. This provides a great heritage and resource for us to use.

Solomon's Temple

Bacon was known to his king and contemporaries as 'Solomon', and he referred to his work as building a Temple in the mind of humanity - a Temple of light or wisdom - and manifesting this on earth as a new Paradise.

Bacon and Shakespeare

The philosophical works of Bacon and the poetic/dramatic works of Shakespeare are associated with each other as twin beacons or 'Pillars', which together provide a gateway to 'Solomon's Temple' and a key to an even greater Light of Wisdom.

Bacon's Science

Bacon's science is not the same as mainstream science, and was never intended to be or thought possible to be the same, although it gave a certain inspiration to the founding of modern science. It was designed to operate side by side with mainstream science, as a work of philanthropy, under divine guidance and inspiration, for the betterment and upliftment of the whole human race and the care of nature.
