Coincidance - Principia Discordia

COINCIDANCE 159
in Alice in Wonderland but was originally published under the title "Mishmosh."
(Nor avoice from afire belowsed mishe tnishe...)
Alice first appears with the initials ALP and her family name, Liddell, on
the second page of FW
he addle liddle phifie annie (emphasis added)
She recurs hundreds of times, and is even in the famous prankquean
riddle, "Why do I am alook alike a poss of porterpease?" Alike is Greek for
Alice, and "like as two peas in a pod" suggests the warring twins ( )
again, while "I am" brings us back to the E at Delphi and the voice from a fire
that bellowed Moishe Moishe and then identified itself as I AM.
Coincidentally, Dodgson invented the mathematical symbol , which
Joyce uses for nonlocal consciousness. {Of course on the E or ego level, "why
do I am alook alike a poss of porterpeece" just echoes customers in
Earwicker's pub calling for a pint of porter, please.)
Charles Dodgson, the rationalist-mathematician, and "Lewis Carroll" the
fantasist and child-lover, are often presented as one of Joyce's Jekyll-Hyde or
split man teams ( ) but on one occasion they get expanded into a full
triplicity or system: "Dogfather, Dogson and Coo," which sounds
like a British partnership company but invokes the Holy Trinity—Father,
Son and Pigeon. We are back at the Pigeon House again, where Stephen
Dedalus thought of Mary's bizarre sexual coupling with the Pigeon and
Bloom masturbated while virginal Gerry McDowell exhibited her bloomers
(a verbal synchronicity). After the "immaculate" (no touching) sexual
encounter of Gerty and Bloom, Bloom wrote in the sand, I AM A — and
stopped. We will never know if he was going to write A VOYEUR, in
shameful confession, or ALONE, in anguish (or maybe even A JEW in
defiance?) In any case, he accidentally wrote "I am aleph" in Hebrew or "I am
alpha" in Greek and thus invoked Revelations 1:11, "I am alpha and omega, the
first and the last, saith the Lord." This 1:11 business turns out to be more
curious than we realize at first, even if we note that it is connected with
Bloom's son, who died at age 11 days, Shakespeare's son Hamnet who died
at 11 years and the 22 (2x11) letters in the Hebrew alphabet or the 22 words
in the first sentence of Ulysses.
If ALP and APL invoke all this, the LAP, a further permutation, invokes
the LAP where a Freemason wears his apron, as in Aleister Crowley's
BOOK OF UES, Chapter 54, in which some Freemasons guess that the lost
Mason Word is AMO, whose number is 111, and some guess that it is LAP
which also has the number 111. (By Cabala, AMO=A which is 1, M which is
40, and O which is 70,1+40+70=111, while LAP=L or 30, A or 1, and P or 80,
and 30+1+80 also=lll.) William York Tindall, a Joyce scholar who likes to
count, has noted that many of the long sentences in FW have 111 clauses.
