Sir Francis Bacon - a very enigmatic genius. Life Details: http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Francis+Bacon





http://img.tfd.com/thumb/6/65/Francis_Bacon.jpg
Name:Francis Bacon
Birth:22 January 1561
Death:9 April 1626
School/tradition:Empiricism
Influences:Democritus, Plato
Influenced:Diderot, Hobbes, Hume
-----------------------------------------



Francis Bacon in popular culture

Beginning early in the 20th century in the U.S.A., a number of metaphysical organizations, such as the I AM Activity, [14] The Bridge to Freedom, [15] The Temple of The Presence, [16] and various others [17] began making the claim that Francis Bacon had never died. They claimed that soon after completing the "Shake-Speare" plays, he had feigned his own death on Easter Sunday 1626 and then traveled extensively outside of England, eventually attaining his physical Ascension on May 1, 1684 in the region of the Carpathian Mountains. [18] The belief is that Bacon took on the name "Saint Germain" as an Ascended Master, and is now known as "The Chohan of the Seventh Ray of Freedom" for the Earth and, since May 1, 1954, is the Hierarch for the "Dawning Golden Age" in the current two thousand year cycle of the Age of Aquarius. Under the name "Saint Germain", Bacon is considered a central figure in the "Ascended Master Teachings", and they claim that he teaches about "The One" (a Source that is a "Universal All-Pervading Presence of Life"), the "Individualized I AM Presence" (the "Self-Conscious Immortal Identity" of each person streaming from "The One" to the lower matter planes), and complete "Divine Freedom" from all human limitation. [19]


-------------------------------------------------------

Bacon and Shakespeare

Since the 1800s, many scholars have suggested that Bacon was the author of the works attributed to Shakespeare. Francis Carr has suggested that Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays and Don Quixote.[20] See Shakespearean authorship question and Baconian theory.

One theory based on Bacon's cipher was published by Edward Clark in a late 19th century book called The Tale of the Shakspere Epitaph by Francis Bacon and referred to an inscription on a bust of Shakespeare which used a mixture of letter-shapes. Unfortunately the stone had crumbled and been replaced more than half a century earlier, so Clark had to rely on copies. He was building on an article by Hugh Black in The North American Review suggesting that the inscription concealed the sentence, "FRA BA WRT EAR AY", an abbreviation of "Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays."
----------------------------
Bacon's cipher

It is also known that he -
belonged to A Secret Society thought to be the the beginning of the Illumati,
Was considered the Father of Scientific Methodology or "Inductive Reasoning",
Was known as a strict vegetarian, eatting only what grew above the ground,
believed the formation of US Federacy would create a New World,
--------------

Bacon's works include his Essays, as well as the Colours of Good and Evil and the Meditationes Sacrae, all published in 1597. His famous aphorism, "knowledge is power", is found in the Meditations. He published The Proficience and Advancement of Learning in 1605. Bacon also wrote In felicem memoriam Elizabethae, a eulogy for the queen written in 1609; and various philosophical works which constitute the fragmentary and incomplete Instauratio magna, the most important part of which is the Novum Organum (published 1620). Bacon also wrote the Astrologia Sana and expressed his belief that stars had physical effects on the planet. He is also known for The New Atlantis, a utopian novel he wrote in 1626.

----------------------
Following the "Illuminati" thread, I found evidence supporting that Bacon was a person of influence to some among those signing of the Declaration of Independence - George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Ben Franklin who were all know to be FreeMasons, also aligned with the Illuminati.
