SUMMARY:The Mystery of the Two Johns\, Baptist and Beloved
DESCRIPTION:A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins about the mystery of John the Baptist and John the Beloved\, the different roles they played whilst sharing the same name\, and the eternal wisdom and divine law of which they are manifestations – a law that involves all of us. \nThis mystery involves the Double Truth of polarity\, twinship\, and initiation\, with its lesser and greater mysteries\, and how their roles were adopted by the Bacon brothers\, Francis and Anthony. \nThe mystery also involves Time\, with its daily\, annual\, and larger cycles of time\, such as a Great Age\, and the poles of time and process of life – a process in which we are all engaged\, all of the time. \nTo book\, please contact the Organiser (FBRT). \nIf booking accepted\, on receipt of payment\, the Zoom link will be sent to you. \nA recording of the talk (but not of the sharing afterwards) can be made available for attendees if requested\, as also for those who pay for the talk but do not attend it live on Zoom. Please contact the Organiser (FBRT). \nThe displayed picture is a coloured version of the AA headpiece printed in the 1593 Shakespeare poem Venus and Adonis.

SUMMARY:Swan Flight through the Seven Heavens of the Rosicrucian Mysteries: Fourth Heaven
DESCRIPTION:This hybrid event will be a 3-day site visit in Germany\, to Lüneburg and Rosengarten\, led by Oliver and Heidemarie Falldorf with Sarah Dawkins (26-28 June)\, with two Zoom talks by Peter Dawkins (25 June and 29 June) and a day-pilgrimage in England (27 June) facilitated by Donna Duncombe. \nThe event will be introduced with a talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins on Thursday 25 June (6pm UK time)\, explaining the whys and wherefores of the event and the symbolic meaning of salt. \nA second talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins will be on Monday 29 June (6pm UK time)\, giving some information about the 3-sided pyramid in Francis Bacon’s philosophy. This will be followed by a sharing of the experiences of the weekend and a discussion. \nTalks on Zoom by Peter Dawkins will be in English\, with concurrent translation into German by Heidemarie  Falldorf.  \nTalks by Heidemarie and Oliver Falldorf on site will be in German\, but translated into English\, transcribed and shared for reading. \n~   ~   ~   ~   ~ \n2026 is the seventh year of a 12-year ‘end of time’ period (2020-2031)\, referred to as the Jupiter-Kalki-Kali cycle\, in which the world is being severely tested\, so as to bring about a repentance sufficient for divine mercy or grace to rescue human hearts\, minds and souls. During this time it is possible for human consciousness to be raised an octave\, note by note\, so as to be suitably inspired to do the right things\, the things that are needed to build a better world. \nTo help this process\, we are enacting a mystery in the landscape of Europe\, the throat chakra of the world\, in which the international Swan landscape temple of mainland Europe\, together with the more localised ‘Shakespeare Country’ Swan landscape temple in the British landscape zodiac play key roles. As the Swan flies metaphorically higher and higher\, it sounds the creative Word. This is the ‘Swan Flight’ and ‘Swan Song’. \nThe octave consists of seven full notes and five half-notes. Each full note is a level of the metaphorical/metaphysical ‘Pyramid’ that is being raised on the ‘Foundation Stone’ of the Exterland Zodiac\, a landscape zodiac centred on the Externsteine in Horn-Bad Meinberg\, Germany\, which functions as the throat chakra of the Swan of Europe. \nThe raising of the Pyramid symbolises the flight of the Swan and raising of consciousness\, which in turn is associated with the landscape stretching between the Exterland Zodiac\, the throat chakra of the Swan of Europe\, and the area of Schleswig\, the alta-major chakra of the Swan of Europe. This is a landscape replete with castles\, palaces\, parks and gardens full of Renaissance and Baroque Freemasonic-Rosicrucian symbolism. \nThe octave began in 2020 with the half-note E♭. 2021 sounded the first full note E\, which signified the first level of the Pyramid. 2022 sounded the second full note F\, which signified the second level of the Pyramid. 2024 sounded the third full note G\, which signified the third level of the Pyramid. For the fourth level\, the note A will be sounded and the fourth level of the Pyramid established. This ‘Swan Flight’ event of Zoom talks and site visits celebrates this fourth level. \nIn the European Mystery story\, the Swan is born as a result of the love affair of Europa and the Bull\, who are represented in the landscape by the British Isles (Europa) and mainland Europe (Bull). The Europa and Bull myth is the Dionysian myth\, wherein the bull-calf\, child of the bull and cow incarnatory symbolic forms of the god Zeus and goddess Athena (Britannia)\, is attacked by Titanic forces and torn apart\, but with its heart rescued by Pallas Athena\, helped by Zeus\, and raised to become the Swan\, Dionysus. Europe is acting out this myth right now. \nFor further details\, choices\, costs and booking\, see: Swan Flight : The Fourth Heaven.

SUMMARY:Francis Bacon’s Founding Role in the Democratic Constitution of the USA
DESCRIPTION:Come and join us at St Michael’s Church Parish Centre\, St Albans\, for this day event celebrating the 46th Anniversary of the FBRT and the 250th Anniversary of the Independence of the USA. \nDuring the day we will delve into Sir Francis Bacon’s inspirational\, guiding and practical role in founding democracy in North America\, wherein (ideally) all men and women are considered to be created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights\, including the right to life\, liberty and the pursuit of happiness\, with a guarantee of freedom of speech and faith\, and the right of every citizen to vote. \nWe shall look at Bacon’s role in the Virginia Company and his writing of the 2nd and 3rd Charters of the Virginia Company which democratised the government of the settlers and their descendants. \nWe shall also look at Bacon’s New Atlantis utopia\, wherein he outlined the kind of society he was envisaging\, who were practising his Great Instauration and governed by a College of initiates – Freemasons and Rosicrucians – who always acted ethically\, morally\, charitably\, and how freedom\, properly understood\, is an integral part of this. \nWe shall also investigate why Francis Bacon was created Viscount St Alban (i.e. St Alban II)\, and his connection as the founder and first Grand Master of Speculative Freemasonry in England\, and how and why the Constitutions of Freemasonry are echoed in some way by the Constitution of the USA. \nWe shall also look at the symbolism of Francis Bacon’s Memorial Monument in St Michael’s Church\, which stands in the chancel above the crypt in which his body was placed when he died\, and how it links in a special way with St Alban’s Shrine (i.e. St Alban I) in St Alban’s Cathedral\, and with Jamestown on the coast of Virginia\, USA\, where the first Virginia Company colonists settled. \nFor information and booking\, please contact the FBRT Secretary:\nEmail: sarah@fbrt.org.uk.

SUMMARY:The Hidden Foundation of Democracy in North America
DESCRIPTION:A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins about the role of Sir Francis Bacon and the Virginia and Newfoundland Companies in the colonisation of Newfoundland\, Virginia\, Nova Scotia and Oak Island\, and in the foundation of democracy in North America. \nSuch a role involved the Freemasons and Rosicrucians – especially the latter\, who practised the Hermetic-Magian science of “As above so below\, as below so above\, for the doing of the Great Work.” \nPowerful signs in the starry heavens of the sky\, which took place from 1572 to 1604\, confirmed to the magi of the English Society of the Golden and Rosy Cross what should be done on earth\, both in England and in the world\, so as to suitably echo the heavenly signs. \nThe Shakespeare poetic works\, Bacon’s philosophical works\, and Bacon’s New Atlantis\, are involved in all of this. \n\nTo book\, please contact the Organiser (FBRT). \nIf booking accepted\, on receipt of payment\, the Zoom link will be sent to you. \nA recording of the talk (but not of the sharing afterwards) can be made available for attendees if requested\, as also for those who pay for the talk but do not attend it live on Zoom. Please contact the Organiser (FBRT). \nThe displayed picture is a coloured version of the AA-Gemini-Bride headpiece printed in the 1594 Shakespeare poem Venus and Adonis.

SUMMARY:Living the Beauty of Golden Friendship
DESCRIPTION:Shakespeare Mystery in Sardinia\nA hybrid event\, led by Peter & Sarah Dawkins & Jonathon Tod –  part pilgrimage and part talks\, attunements and sharing on Zoom. \nSardinia was considered a sacred mountain prior to the last flood and the creation of the Mediterranean Sea.  It was formerly joined with Corsica and mainland Europe. It is an island of beauty with 7000 ancient temples and sanctuaries. Many of the temples we will visit were built by ‘the Nuraghe’ (‘the shining ones’) between 2500-3000BC. The Nuraghe were navigators\, mathematicians and astronomers. \nThis hybrid event is part of a sequence of events in which we are working with the Dionysian Mystery of Europe\, wherein metaphorically the Bull (or Boar) becomes the Swan\, which is a symbolic way of describing the transformation and transmutation of the mortal psyche into an immortal soul. \nAs Shakespeare says\, “we are all actors performing on the stage of the world.” The stage for the Dionysian Mystery is Europe\, and the stage for this particular pilgrimage is Sardinia\, the root chakra of the Swan landscape temple of Europe. \nSo far we have pilgrimaged in all the Swan chakras except the root chakra. By performing this Sardinia pilgrimage\, we will be bringing the heavenly love-wisdom energy right down to the root of the Swan\, so that the kundalini earth energy of the Swan can be awoken\, respond in love\, and rise up the spine of the Swan to sound the Word and bring illumination. \nIn this\, we work with the Hermetic wisdom\, “As above so below\, as below so above\, for the doing of the Great Work”\, and with the lemniscate life process movement of energy through the body\, in this case the landscape body of the Swan of Europe. In doing all this\, we make friends not only with other human beings but also with nature\, including the landscape and the sky above. \nThe aim of this pilgrimage is to pilgrimage from the north to the south of the island of Sardinia\, visiting various sites and temples used by the ancients who knew something of how to work with the energies of the land. We will link with and be supported by other friends who will be carrying out pilgrimages and attunements elsewhere. In this way\, via pilgrimage\, attunement\, meditation\, prayer and friendship\, the aim of the Mystery event as expressed in its title can be achieved. \nPROGRAMME (to be confirmed) \n\n27  September 2026 – Zoom talk about Sardinia.\n4-10 October 2026 – Sardinia pilgrimage\, with Zoom meetings.\n18 October 2026 – Zoom meeting – general sharing and conclusion.\n\nTWO TYPES OF PARTICIPANTS \n\nVirtual pilgrims: attendees of Zoom talk and event Zoom meetings\, and who carry out a pilgrimage in their own chosen area.\nSardinia pilgrims: the travelling pilgrims who will pilgrimage in Sardinia and participate in the Zoom talk and all the Zoom meetings.\n\nCOST (to be confirmed) \n\nVirtual pilgrims – £50 per person (inclusive of Sardinia meetings and Zoom talk).\nSardinia pilgrims sharing in twinned or double rooms – £2\,150 per person\nSardinia pilgrims in single rooms – £2\,600 per person\n\nBOOKING \nIf you are interested in joining this pilgrimage\, either as a Sardinia pilgrim or a virtual pilgrim\, then please let us know: info@fbrt.org.uk.

SUMMARY:The Mystery of the Christmas Saturnalia and Knights of the Helmet
DESCRIPTION:A talk on Zoom by Peter Dawkins about midwinter’s Saturnalia and Twelve Days of Christmas\, including that of 1594/5 when Gray’s Inn hosted a grand entertainment during which the Shakespeare play\, Comedy of Errors\, was enacted\, followed by the masque\, The Order of the Knights of the Helmet. \nThis “Gesta Grayorum”\, as it was called in Latin\, announced and made public many things previously kept secret\, including the hint that the Knights of the Helmet are the true Spearshakers\, or Shakespeares\, who\, like St George\, shake their spears of inspiration at the dragons of ignorance\, so that the dragons might come to know the truth. \n\nFor those who attend the talk\, there will be time for questions\, answers and insights after the talk. This post-talk sharing is usually full of extra information. \nTo book\, please contact the Organiser (FBRT). \nIf booking accepted\, on receipt of payment\, the Zoom link will be sent to you. \nA recording of the talk (but not of the sharing afterwards) can be made available for attendees if requested\, as also for those who pay for the talk but do not attend it live on Zoom. Please contact the Organiser (FBRT). \nThe displayed picture is a coloured version of the AA-Gemini-Spearshakers headpiece printed in Francis Bacon’s 1623 De Dignitate et Augmentis Scientiarum and in the tributes to Francis Bacon\, Manes Verulamiani\, published in 1626.
