Peter Dawkins – The 1623 Twin Publications Keys to the Rosicrucian Work of Sir Francis Bacon 2

Peter Dawkins – The 1623 Twin Publications, Keys to the Rosicrucian Work of Sir Francis Bacon


This masterclass will include two illustrated talks by Peter Dawkins demonstrating how the 1623 Shakespeare First Folio and the 1623 De Dignitate et Augmentis Scientiarum, Francis Bacon’s much augmented Latin version of his 1605 Advancement of Learning, twin each other and act as keys to the Great Instauration, a name for the Rosicrucian work. Both books were purposely published in 1623, the year of a great conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in the Fiery Trigon, for profound and symbolic reasons. This year, 2023, is the Quatercentenary of both publications.

The Great Instauration concerns an instauration or renewal of all arts and sciences, so as to create a moral Philosophy and Active Science – an Illumination or Knowledge of Truth capable of creating a Golden Age on Earth. Its aim is to obey and fulfil the summary or universal law of love, and to imitate the divine work – “the work that God does from beginning to end” (Ecclesiastes 3:11) – which is the labour of love. This is Bacon’s “Active Science”, and is the Rosicrucian work. It is this that can bring about the evolutionary transformation that is so needed at this time.
