The Shakespeare Folio Preface Immortalising Potency
December 21 @ 17:00 - 18:30
£15
A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins, about how the 11-page Preface of the 1623 Shakespeare Folio enshrines a deep Kabbalistic and Biblical wisdom, with cryptic wording and graphics, all with the potency and intention to immortalise the Shakespeare plays and William Shakespeare himself, as an example of the immortalising process described in the classical Gemini myth.
After 400 years, this immortalising effect can be readily seen, with the Shakespeare plays enacted all over the world, with William Shakespeare himself being renowned worldwide as the immortal author, with innumerable books, essays and scholarly treatises written about the plays and the man, and Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England, attracting thousands of visitors every year from all over the world.
“Immortalising” in this context refers to the man and his works being so famous that he will never be forgotten, always revered, with his works being everlasting, enduring for ages to come. But “immortalising” can also refer to illumination, to our natural souls or psyches becoming illumined through labours of love and knowing the wisdom or truth as a result.
The illumined soul is known as the celestial soul. The celestial soul is the mortal natural soul (psyche) who has become an immortalised celestial soul – the immortal-mortal. We can each achieve this little by little, like a burning candle transmuting its flame into light. Like the burning candle, we can exist as both the candle and the light at the same time.
