According to "The Shakespeare Code", Francis Bacon fell in love with Marquerite of Valois, or Princess Margot (daughter of the dreaded Catherine de Medici and granddaughter of Lorenzo de Medici). Romeo and Juliet was based on his love for Princess Margot. Francis Bacon loved her his entire life. I believe however; that his love goes beyond this physical love for the princess, I sense he loved the word, language, both written and spoken. He had such aspirations. He saw how the word/language affected people, it could change a culture, it could create a renaissance! He saw how language impacted the French culture, he desired that for England. He was so passionate about beauty, music and art. It is as if he understood the foundation of the pyramid was based on the word, the language of the people. I believe he was in love with love and all of its nuances.


I think Francis Bacon was conveying that life is like a play and that it has many players. Some of these players will bring you joy and happiness and others will bring sadness and a multitude of other emotions. And like all the players in a play you must play your part. And this character that you are in this particular play requires that you learn all your lines and no matter what the other players are doing to you or others around you, the show must go on. And it must go on in joy and love and forgiveness. With a sense of humor and constancy, if we endure and overcome all obstacles; at the end of the play, we will receive applause from on high for a magnificient performance. Also all that we thought was lost will be returned. As Prospero returns to his beautiful Milan.

Week Three Question From Saint Germain:
WHO WAS FRANCIS BACON'S LOVE?

Bacon's true love was the highest domain of WISDOM, eg, SOPHIA. He worked indefatigably in arts and sciences to bring this wisdom to humanity through his writings, theatre and his many scientific papers and experiments.

Yes.

I agree with you Julie, and also feel Francis Bacon's love was for the Higher Self of mankind, which is what all his beautiful work speaks to.
