Coincidance - Principia Discordia

COINCIDANCE 247
one disciple that the Holy Guardian Angel is a being of superhuman
intelligence and flatly told another that it is metaphor for the deepest part of
the unconscious, we are at liberty to consider it beyond either/or categories
and isomorphic to Joyce's . According to Liber AL,
My number is six and fifty. Add, multiply, divide and understand.
As Crowley pointed out in his commentary on this text, when we add
6 + 50 = 56, which is the number by Cabala of NU, the earliest Egyptian
form of the moon goddess or sky goddess. We have already seen that this
NU is a cognate of the great mother goddess Danu worshipped by the early
Irish and hence of Joyce's Anna Livia Plurabelle.
Multiplying, 6 x 50 = 300, which is the Cabalistic value of the letter
pronounced shin, which Cabalists identify with the "de nt of spirit into
matter," which we may consider an archaic way of referring to the mind-like
aspect of the nonlocal hidden variable or variables. This shin, Joyce wrote to
Harriet Weaver, was one meaning of his function, which we have found
isomorphic to Jung's collective unconscious and Sheldrake's morphogenetic
field.
Dividing, 6/50 = .012, which Crowley identifies with a backwards
alchemical formulae for sex magick, in which 2 reduce to 1 in erotic union
and then enter the void together. The Joycean is satisfied to find here both
the symbol, 0, and the number, 12, of Joyce's Zodiac function or jurors, the
spinning wheel which keeps the universe of FW turning forever on its own
axis.
It is another amusing coincidence that Stonehenge, which some think is a
giant astrological/astronomical isomorph, has 56 postholes making a circle
around it. Since 56 is, as we saw a moment ago, 28 x 2, this has something to
do with the moon goddess again, I suppose, but it is even stranger that the
American Declaration of Independence has 56 signers, most of them
Freemasons.
Since Crowley claimed his Book of lies contained the central secret of
Freemasonry, coded so that only the Illuminated could understand it, and
his Liber AL, which contains 56 symbolism similar to that of FW is also
replete with Freemasonic references, it is important to note that Joyce was
not a Freemason and that his search of Freemasonic literature, which is
documented, was that of an outsider. The fact that we have come around to
what some will recognize as the essence of Speculative Freemasonry (others
will think it is Buddhism) can only be explained, it seems to me, by assuming
that there is in nature a nonlocal function similar to what Joyce denotes by
and that this co-exists in minds as far apart in space-time as those of
Leibniz, Bruno, the authors of I Clung, the builders of Stonehenge, Joyce,
Freud, Crowley, whoever designed the 56 minor cards of the Tarot, and
various others of diverse and disparate traditions.
