If your mind is closed and you are not able to consider new theories,
it would be best for you to leave immediately,
because if you stay,
you may become very uncomfortable.

However, if your mind is Open and you Thirst for new ideas,
it may be in your best interest to stay,
for an exciting Discovery is about to be revealed to you.

This website will demonstrate several incredible and some very surprising 
"coincidences"
which are contained in the nearly 400 year old collection of poems written by "William Shakespeare".

Light-of-Truth.com will not attempt to convince you that the ciphers presented on this site 
were part of an intricate and deliberate design by William Shakespeare.
Light-of-Truth.com will merely show them to you from that perspective.
In fact, you are encouraged to make your own interpretations of the numbers that will be shown to you.
Any "rational Human-being" would certainly dismiss the following examples as pure coincidence.

For the purpose of demonstrating these cipher coincidences,
Light-of-Truth.com will present one "possible" theory.

The theory you will see is uniquely original and exclusively presented by Light-of-Truth.com,
but may one day be widely Known as the only accepted Truth about these Sonnets.

The solution to the Sonnets Dedication Poem cipher
reveals an interesting design with great Rosicrucian significance.

That thereby beauties Rose might neuer die,


    
Two Tables of KEYS:

(For a clean printable Adobe PDF version of the Keys, click here.)

The first Key is a very basic Table containing the 26 letters of our alphabet on the left of the rows
and 15 columns of numbers which go up to 365 that correspond to those letters.

The second Key is using an Elizabethan 24 letter alphabet where the "J" is represented as an "I",
futhermore the "U" and "V" are used interchangeably.
The Table below shows the four sets of numbers we will use for each letter:
These ciphers are Known to Baconians as;
"Simple", "Reverse", "Short", and "Kaye" ciphers.

Now that we have these Two Tables of Keys out in the open,
you might ask, "What we should do with them?"

Light-of-Truth.com will now demonstrate to you a never before seen example
 of how these two Keys work together in the Sonnets:

Lines 1 - 5 of the Sonnets begin with these letters: F T B H B

Lines 6 - 10 of the Sonnets begin with these letters: F M T T A

Lines 11 - 15 of the Sonnets begin with these letters: W A P T W

(Adding up the "Simple" ciphers of those letters we get the following totals.)


F(6) + T(19) + B(2) + H(8) + B(2) = 37

F(6) + M(12) + T(19) + T(19) + A(1) = 57

W(21) + A(1) + P(15) + T(19) + W(21) = 77

(Take the totals, 37, 57, and 77, and cross reference them using the first Table.)

37 = K
57 = E 
77 = Y 

Which spells out the word: "KEY".

"Nil nisi clavis deest"
Where does this Key come from?
It is the theory presented by Light-of-Truth.com that these Tables were designed by John Dee.

John Dee (1527-1608)
Astrologer to Queen Elizabeth I
and an important 16th Century mathematician.


 
A wonderful example of how John Dee used the "Simple" and "Kaye" ciphers
is revealed when we add up the cipher numbers in the Title of his famous
esoteric book of 1564 called, "Monas Heiroglyphica".

MONAS = 58 Simple Cipher

MONAS HEIROGLYPHICA = 188 Simple Cipher

Now compare these two cipher numbers with the cipher numbers of the name John Dee:

JOHN DEE = 58 Simple Cipher and 188 Kaye Cipher

John Dee has given us an example of how an author 
may use these cipher methods to place a "signature" into their creations.

The combination of the Simple and Kaye Ciphers is a popular number cipher method 
that was used in Elizabethan times by John Dee and others, including William Shakespeare.
The Reverse Cipher and Short Cipher are also used extensively throughout the works of the day,
and reveal many historic and little known facts about the times in which these Masters lived.


Let's look to Shakespeare's Sonnets, OK?

DEE = 14 Simple Cipher
JOHN DEE = 58 Simple Cipher
JOHN DEE = 188 Kaye Cipher

Line 188 of the Sonnets is line 6 of Sonnet 14. 
There we see two Dee cipher numbers, 14 and 188.

The first letters of the first 6 lines of Sonnet 14 are: N A B O N P

N = 13
A =   1
B =   2
O = 14
N = 13
P =  15
        58 Total

So far we have Sonnet 14, which is the Simple Cipher number for "Dee", 
and we have Line 188 that is the Kaye Cipher number for "John Dee",
and we have the first letters of the first 6 lines of Sonnet 14, 
which take us up to Line 188, 
"N A B O N P"
that add up to the Simple Cipher 58, 
which is the Simple Cipher number of "John Dee". 
Now if the words of these lines are related to Dee would you be surprised?

Read them:


Sonnet 14


01   Not from the stars do I my judgment pluck,
02   And yet methinks I have astronomy,
03   But not to tell of good, or evil luck,
04   Of plagues, of dearths, or seasons' quality,
05   Nor can I fortune to brief minutes tell;
06   Pointing to each his thunder, rain and wind,


Remember line 6 is Line 188 of the Sonnets.

Do those lines sound like they are hinting at "Prospero"?

The Tempest: Act III, Scene iii:

Alonso:

                         O, it is monstrous! monstrous!
Methought the billows spoke and told me of it;
The winds did sing it to me; and the thunder,
That deep and dreadful organ-pipe, pronounc'd
The name of Prosper: it did bass my trespass.

Is "Prospero" representative of John Dee?
It is commonly accepted that "Prospero" was based on Elizabeth's astrologer, "John Dee".
Surely the first 6 lines in Sonnet 14 are referring to Dee then.

The next line in the Sonnet is number 7:


07   Or say with Princes if it shall go well

Princes? What Princes?
What do the numbers tell us?
This is one of the mysteries that we will pursue in our study of the cipher
"coincidences".

Remember that the Simple Cipher of John Dee is
