The correct title is A Paraphrase Upon The Revelation

Wow! This is an impressive effort and my heartfelt gratitude to you for this effort.

I have so much reading and writing to do! And yet I will ask you to send me a copy of the PDF as well, just to have it spread across more places and so I can peruse it.

I'm currently reading through Montaigne's Essay and other writings. Fascinating man. He is currently mocking those foolish enough to be atheists, including Plato! Sharp eye and writing.

I'm glad to know someone else is reading baroque lit. There are sure to be anticlerical resonances in whatever you happen to read from the last half of the 17th century. The epicenter of it was in France and the anticlerical roots of French literature go back at least to Rabelais.

Thank you. I've been on vacation for a while after completing the paraphrase. The main thing I got out of doing this transcription is a better understanding of Revelation itself. I also see the underpinnings of William Blake's Jerusalem in Revelation Chapter 21. That is interesting to me, because it connects Blake's work with biblical prophecy, and unites Blake with others under the general heading of eschatology--writing about how the world will end. I plan to continue with another extra-titular work of King James 1 on the Revelation. Note: to get the PDF you have to become a founding member. ($150...I've only had one sponsor to this point)

I also found Blake to be a fabulous read. I haven't read him in a while. So perhaps a good time to revisit him. I've not read the French renaissance lit except Montaigne. I came to him accidentally with some remarkable synchronicities.

Your $150 founding member fee is so reasonable! And yet, so out of reach for me right now. In Feb 2022 I was expunged from my work for lack of injection compliancy. Because of an onerous alimony and inherited debt from my shopaholic ex I left Canada and am now residing in Mexico. I'm in the process of applying to be granted refugee status. I've begun a substack blog about that, which looks into compliancy, consequences, etc. On hindsight I see that this reset initiative is actually a deep, true call to wake up the spirit/soul and actively embrace joy as the weapon against evil. Amazing times.

I apologise for not becoming a founding member. I'll recommend your substack to the people I come to who will see its value. Namaste.

Thanks. I appreciate your interest. All the content I post is free. I hope to one day add notes and make a book out of it.

Yes. I will be looking at this, although without the attention I would have liked. Truly a magnificence effort. Thank you. (And I like your blog very much!)

Could you send me a copy of your PDF of the book? The more copies out there the better.

I just saw this note. When you become a founding member ($150), I'll send you the .pdf on a thumb drive in the mail. You're right. The more people out there with a copy the harder it is to erase from public view. It's a huge file, and I can't email it. It's a work in the public domain, and there is no law to keep you from selling copies of it yourself.

Consider going to the other side. The content that is indexed by Google is less than 5% of all content in existence. Unindexed content is what they call the Dark Net.

Dark means not active. Dark Fibre used to be more than 99% of all fibre but it has since been lit up. IE traffic flows over the fibre laid decades ago.

6G is coming. 1 Trillionth of a second latency.
