FW by looking, now, at the opening of the Anna Livia Plurabelle chapter
(Chapter 8):
0
tell me all about
Anna Livia. I want to hear all
The shape of these words is, as we have seen, an ancient Greek symbol
of the feminine principle, or the vagina itself, and Joyce's symbol for ALP or
aleph or Anna Livia Plurabelle. The 0 at the top is a familiar modern symbol
of the same feminine energy, and the link between Leibniz's binary notation
and the yin of I Ching. More amazing packages of information within
information appear if we start counting.
The first line has 1 word, and 1 represents yang which Joyce, like the
Taoists, always includes within yin, as he also includes yin within yang. But
the one word, symbolizing yang because it is one in numeration, also
symbolizes yin because it is in shape,
The second line has four words and invokes the function or the four
bonds of DNA or the four elements of King Wen's arrangement of I Ching
or the 4 forces in physics etc. Joyce's Matt Gregory, Marcus Lyons, Luke
Tarpey and Johnny McDougal.
The third line has seven words for the seven chakras, the seven Egyptian
souls, Leary's seven circuits of neurology, the seven gods of the seven
weekdays etc. Joyce's RAYNBOW girls.
Adding, 1 + 4 + 7 = 12, and we are back to the 0 function again, the 12 pins
in the Joyce Country, the 12 bonds of a turn of DNA, the Zodiac which
haunts the human mind no matter how often rationalists try to banish it,
the duodecimal system that controlled currency for 6000 years and still
controls the number on a jury or in a box of eggs.
Multiplying, 1 x 4 x 7 = 28, and we are back to the 28 days of the Moon
Goddess again, the human egg, the Orphic egg of creation and Humpty
Dumpty.
There are two speakers in this Anna Livia chapter, an old washwoman
who represents or as old yin, and a young washwoman who
represents or as young yin. (Amusingly, these two are literally
washing Earwicker's dirty linen in public.) If we multiply these two
functions by the 28 factor of the (1 x 4 x 7 = 28), we get 56, a number that
often appears in FW. In Roman numerals, of course, 56 is LVI and we are
back to Livvy again, Mark Twain's wife, and Anna Liffey, and Livia Augusta
the Empress who shared part of her name with James Augusta Joyce.
More curious, is the text of Liber AL, which Aleister Crowley alleged that
he received from his "Holy Guardian Angel" in 1904. Since Crowley flatly told
