* What was the 'Word Cipher', Francis Bacon's 'greatest cipher'? How is it different from the Biliteral Cipher? * What was Bacon's overall Great Vision? * How do the Judeo-Christian mysteries -- arguably the foundation of our western civilization -- fit into this Great Vision? * How can we, today, apply this ancient knowledge to the 21st century? 
"A man doth vainly boast of loving God whom he never saw, if he love not his Brother whom he hath seen." As world-respected author Peter Dawkins states in the Preface to The Great Vision, these words quoted above, written by Francis Bacon, may summarise the real knowledge and driving force that is behind our dawning new Age. They also may summarise quite well the essence of the Christian revelation and teachings. Christianity is the name given to what is described in the New Testament or Covenant, which has to do with wholly loving one's neighbour as oneself. This New Testament or Covenant is founded on the Old Covenant, not superceding it, but completing it. The Old Covenant has to do with loving God with all one's heart, soul, mind and strength. Both Covenants or Laws existed from the beginning of time, but the so-called 'Old' Covenant is the first to be realised by man. But this is not enough: man must then realise and learn to keep the 'new' Covenant also, for if he loves not his fellow man (and all of life) then his love for God is not only incomplete, but misunderstood. Jesus came to demonstrate dramatically just what this New Covenant really means; others have followed his example ever since, Francis Bacon being an outstanding one. 
This book is about this Great Vision and it deals with some of the Christian Mysteries and with the Vision and Birth of Rosicrucianism, which is the name given esoterically to Francis Bacon's work and fellowship of true Christians. The first part of the book is devoted entirely to the Judaic-Christian Mysteries, while the second part addresses the life of Francis Bacon between the years of 1572-1579, when he was aged 11-18 years old, a key time in his life. Born a prince, but concealed and fostered, Francis Bacon was compelled to live a secret or 'masked' life. Yet in doing so, he acted out in his own life much of the Ancient Mysteries themselves, and used all this in a most ingenious way as a means to educate and initiate future generations -- including us, here and now, today.

Religion & Spirituality

Written to complement the Globe Theatre's production of "The Merchant of Venice", this work allows the reader to understand the philosophical and spiritual traditions of Shakespeare's age. As well as placing the play in context, the author shows how the five main plots of the play develop and how certain themes within the play relate to philosophical traditions dating back to the Ancient Greeks. These philosophical traditions are shown to be at the heart of any understanding of "The Merchant of Venice" and by looking in detail at them the book provides new insights for both audiences and actors alike.

Written to complement the Globe Theatre's production of "Twelfth Night", this thought provoking work takes the reader into the fascinating world of Alchemy and Cabala that underlies the Shakespeare play. The author shows not only how the play is based on a profound understanding of the biblical Genesis and Revelation but also of the mystery of initiation path that lies between. The story takes on another depth of meaning when we realise that the characters represent aspects of our own psyche and spirit as well as of society generally, and that the play is an allegory of a possible path to our own and humanity's future happiness. This is the fifth of Peter Dawkins' books on the Wisdom of Shakespeare. The series is devoted to showing the depth of wisdom and the extraordinary knowledge of the Mystery traditions contained in the Shakespeare plays. The books are written for all Shakespeare lovers, students of the Western wisdom traditions, and for actors and audience alike.
