I have several web sites devoted to Johann Bessler but I have one which is for quirky information I might wish to publish from time to time. It does not have to be connected with Johann Bessler but it might be sometimes.
About a couple of months ago I decided to place some odd-ball information about the phrase 'Et In Arcadia Ego' on line. As usual I haven't advertised the fact that it's there and I don't think anyone has found it yet, but it will be fun to see what happens when it is found. In my opinion it is the most likely explanation for the phrase and has ramifications for an area not that far from Rennes-le-Château in south-west France.
The website in question, http://www.247website.co.uk/ .
I look forward to seeing the reaction to my discovery.

The Legend of Bessler’s (Orffyreus’s) Wheel - The Facts

Why did you run the anagram software with the setting only on maximium of two words?

I found that there were too many word combinations possible with more than two words selected and it seemed to me that if the phrase 'Et In Arcadia Ego' was an anagram of something else, then what ever it was, would have been composed of just two words.
ReplyDeleteIf you wish to make an anagram of something it is easier to concoct one consisting of three or more words and that is what I believe happpened.
Who ever made the anagram started with a simple two word phrase,‘conditae graiae’ and made up Et In Arcadia Ego. They liked the result because it contained the word Arcadia which has bucolic connotations, and points to shepherds, and of course the original phrase, ‘conditae graiae’ does not contain the word Arc but the anagram does. Since the original phrase points to the River Arc and more specifically the 'Berger' area, which of course means 'shepherd', I feel that I'm right.
Well I am a little intrigued. I have read all the books you stated on your website and more on the subject, latest being The Secret Vault.
ReplyDeleteProbably linking Berenger Sauniere with trips to Écot or Maurienne valley would be a place to start. That is of course if you believe in the legend of Berenger Sauniere and of the conspiracy theories surrounding Rennes-le-Château and his great wealth. Wiki gives just a plain case of fraud on his part, probably not all that surprising in itsself; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berenger_Sauniere. I imagine you realize the distance from Rennes-le-Château, France to Bonneval-sur-Arc, France is 663 km, not exactly close in an age of horse travel.
I think I will research(and reread several books as it has been awhile that I have read some of them) to see if he was ever in the area. I know he went on several long trips supposedly to Lyons France.
Ah - I did not intend any connection with the Berenger Saunier affair. All I was pointing to was the mystery of the origin of the phrase and the fact that it is in the Poussin painting and others, plus of course the associated history. Poussin's painting was sometimes called the shepherds of Arcadi, that is why I mention Berger (not Berenger). I thought it interesting that there was a place called Berger on the river Arc in an area called The Graian Alps.

LOL, I thought that would back you up a bit, because you had not mentioned it yourself. You have to remember though the phrase became much more in the public eye because of the Berenger Saunier mystery.
ReplyDeleteTE AGO IN ARCA DEI — I lead you inside the Ark of God.
ReplyDeleteHi Michel, I have come across that version somewhere before but I can’t remembercwhere. For me the interesting thing is that none but mine lead one to a place. All the others hint at something but what it could be is open to anyone’s imagination. But thank you for your comment Michel, perhaps this is a mystery which may never be solved?

"Arca Dei" could be, in my opinion, the chest in which the breath "of God" is working by itself (like in Bessler's drawing MT 108).
