This is a story which spans the entirety of the 6000 yearlong Kali Yuga. Also known as the Age of Quarrel, which began with the Mayan Long Count Calendar in approximately 3113 B.C.E., the Kali Yuga is analogous to the present Iron Age. The true history of the current era, which is defined by so many epic wars and longstanding conflicts, is not only very protracted and extremely complex, many of the most important events and personages lie deeply hidden in its murky past.
There are several significant threads interwoven throughout this multi-millennial saga which graphically portray our current Age of Conflict. Of those, the most important threads pass through the histories of Egypt, Sumeria, Persia, Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, the British Empire, and, finally, the United States of America. However, this essay will concern itself primarily with the most recent Anglo-American chapter of modern history.
Queen Elizabeth
It is the Elizabethan era and the court of Queen Elizabeth I of England which provides the center stage for this essay, as does the American Revolutionary War period in the fledgling Thirteen Colonies. For it was during these two critical and formative periods within that the New Atlantis was conceived and greatly advanced. Simply put, the seeds of desire for personal freedom and national sovereignty, which germinated in 16th century England, fully sprouted on American soil two hundred years later.
The leap from the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras (1558 through 1625) to the Thirteen Colonies of the pre and post American War of Independence (early 1770s through 1783) is not well understood, even by the most knowledgeable historians. The profound inter-relationship between the many major characters of Queen Elizabeth’s (and King James’s) court and the Founding Fathers of the American Republic has never been drawn or sufficiently acknowledged. Consequently, much of the actual history has been lost, clouded in the mists of time, or purposefully misrepresented by those victors who wrote the history books.
The subtitle: The Illuminism, Freemasonry and the Great White Brotherhood capture the essence of the underlying epochal conflict of the “Master Plan Of The Ages”. All three of these entities are now profoundly misunderstood because of how highly charged and closely attached each is to various ideologies and isms, conspiracies and false concepts which abound on the internet.
Making their comprehension even more difficult (especially Freemasonry and Illuminism), there is a profusion of crudely uninformed material on the internet which further muddies the water of that already “murky past”. Much of this false information has been deliberately disseminated for public consumption over centuries. Whether it is purposeful disinformation or unintentional misinformation, it must be ignored as these new and significant disclosures are considered.
The Elizabethan Court Set the World Stage, Especially For The Debut of the American Republic
The microcosm of the Elizabethan court from 1558 to 1603 provides the perfect context in which to study the emergence of the secret societies which have come to dominate the modern era. Queen Elizabeth I was surrounded by some of the most brilliant and enlightened men of the age. This generally accepted fact of English history is precisely why the Elizabethan period became an unparalleled British era sometimes referred to as England’s Golden Age. It has also been acknowledged as a high point for all of Western civilization and especially for European culture and enlightenment. The high attainments in areas as diverse as spiritual wisdom and mundane knowledge, philosophical discourse and artistic expression, scientific pursuit and occult learning became de rigueur for those who populated the royal court of Queen Elizabeth as well as London’s high society.
Just like Jerusalem during the reign of King Solomon and Rome at its height circa 100 A.D., London effectively became the center of the world after the decisive defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. The establishment of the East India Company in 1600, set England firmly on the path toward the creation of the British Empire.
As a matter of little-known fact, the very fulfillment of the USA as the New Atlantis is the end result of an extremely secret, multi-century “Master Plan” which was launched by the key members of Queen Elizabeth’s court. This same “Master Plan” then continued to gain much more traction during the Jacobean era that immediately followed.
Which brings us to Sir Francis Bacon and Roger Bacon.
Already it is clear that the reign of Queen Elizabeth I was distinguished in many extraordinary and unparalleled ways. However, it was the unusually wise and truly gifted advisors in her court which set the stage for the secret societies to thrive. Primary among those talented advisors stands Sir Francis Bacon, who is considered by some of the world’s great writers to be directly responsible for of all of William Shakespeare’s many works. Three centuries before the Elizabethan era there was the English philosopher and Franciscan friar Roger Bacon (1214-1294) who is often considered the ‘Father of the Scientific Method’. That both Francis and Roger Bacon share the same last name will come as no surprise when their true connection is revealed.
Just who were these two giants of English history? And how did they influence the founding and establishment of the New Atlantis — the United States of America?
Sir Francis Bacon
Sir Francis Bacon was not only an extraordinary writer and philosopher, he was also knowledgeable of many of the occult sciences and nascent arts of his day. In short, he was the quintessential Renaissance Man of Merry Ole England. Francis Bacon enjoyed a unique advisory status within Queen Elizabeth’s court which was both well earned as well as a product of nepotism. Historical records have proven that he was Elizabeth’s son by one her favorite courtiers. It was this very special relationship between Sir Francis Drake and Queen Elizabeth which was to shape the entire Elizabethan period.
Roger Bacon and the Scientific Method
An extremely interesting connection exists between Francis and Roger Bacon, “The Father of Experimental Science and Medieval Occultism”. In addition to being considered the father of the scientific method, Roger Bacon was also regarded as the first philosopher of science who was way ahead of his time during the 13th century in which he lived. As follows:
[2]
Why is this connection between the two Bacons — Roger and Francis — so very important? Because they both play very prominent roles in the creation of the New Atlantis. Each of them foresaw a time when the New World to the west would be found by their countrymen and colonized in due course of time. They both understood the importance that this new land lay unspoiled and pristine in order that the New Atlantis would be “raised from the ashes” of the original Atlantis which sank in the sea 12 thousand years ago.
It is well understood in certain esoteric circles that the original Atlantis — far advanced in both scientific knowledge and applied technology compared to modern civilization — doomed itself because of the pervasive misuse of various technologies throughout their society. In fact, it has been frequently asserted that Atlantis finally sank into the Atlantic Ocean because of the gross and calamitous abuse of their exceedingly powerful asteroid-tracking technologies. The three points of the Bermuda Triangle stand as a lasting testament to those Atlantean sites which were home to those centers of crystal-generated energy technology.
Over the course of the last 400 years all the nations ringing the Atlantic Ocean have become home to those very same souls from Atlantis who came back today to get it right. While it is commonly understood in some circles of esoteric knowledge that those kings and queens of the English monarchy who reigned before and during the British Empire were actually the reincarnated souls of the Roman Empire, the following is also understood about the The New Atlantis. That the modern-day nations which rim the Northern Atlantic are populated with the reborn souls who inhabited Atlantis before it sank into the sea approximately 12,000 years ago.
Both Roger and Francis Bacon, more than any other historical figures of the past millennium, with the exception of Comte de Saint Germain, are directly responsible for setting the stage for the New Age of Aquarius — the Age of Science and Technology as well as the establishment of the The New Atlantis. So important are the contributions of Francis Bacon in this regard that he has been described as follows:
Sir Francis Bacon: The Quintessential English Renaissance Man
Francis Bacon, more than any other royal advisor to Queen Elizabeth I, was ardently preoccupied with the “tilling of the soil” of the New World. The many and diverse pieces of literature written under his pen-name, William Shakespeare, were integral to his plan of establishing The New Atlantis in the virgin territories of North America. Each Shakespearean composition of comedy and tragedy, history and poetry was coded to disseminate secret information to his many covert collaborators across the realm, as in the entire planetary realm.
[4]
Not only did Sir Francis Bacon write and/or oversaw the creation of all the compositions of William Shakespeare, he is also openly credited with writing the first English translation of the Holy Bible — the revolutionary King James Version. In other words, Bacon is personally responsible for producing the two most important literary works in the history of the English language. The King James Version was, after all, the most liberating work of religious literature in all of Christendom. The emancipation from the papacy (and from concepts such as papal infallibility), as well as from the doctrinal authority of the Magisterium, were both significantly accelerated the world over upon the publication of Bacon’s rendering of the King James Bible.
As for the unrivaled body of literary works by ‘William Shakespeare’, who has not heard of, read, quoted, performed, been delighted by or regaled by such sublime literature? The artistic beauty and spiritual wisdom of each play and sonnet has inspired countless souls for centuries! Shakespeare’s (now known as Bacon’s) literary masterpieces have also served to educate and edify, empower and enlighten citizens and nations alike in their quests for personal and national sovereignty, respectively.
However, there is another extremely important back story associated with the works of ‘William Shakespeare’. It is well known in intelligence circles that the first worldwide spy networks was assembled in London. Yes, there have always been spies and secret surveillance, but England quickly acquired the means and the method to establish a global spy network. The foundation for this primordial intelligence agency was laid by the same main players within Queen Elizabeth’s Court.
The key individuals responsible of the establishment of the spy network and it means of communication fell to Francis Bacon and John Dee. However, it was Bacon who was intimately involved in creating the system of ciphers and cryptograms which would prove to be indecipherable. Toward that end it was understood that many of the Shakespearean literary works would be explicitly coded to disseminate information throughout the rapidly evolving world spy network. In this way do the Shakespearean tragedies and comedies also contain highly classified information coded into the verses which are known only to those who possessed the corresponding cryptogram and cipher codes.
Of course, John Dee contributed in substantial ways to this critical endeavor, which ultimately served to be the undoing of the original plan for The New Atlantis. Because both Bacon and Dee had access to all the deepest secrets of the realm, there was a literal war going on in the background during both the Elizabethan and Jacobian eras. The outcome, of course, was preordained by destiny, just as it is for the current NWO leadership that illicitly occupies the White House via an Illuminati pawn and his treasonous gang of usurpers.
Dr. John Dee
Dr. John Dee: Magus, Mentor and Mystery Man of the Elizabethan Era
Francis Bacon had the very best teachers and mentors that England had to offer in his project of raising The New Atlantis. In fact, they represent a veritable Who’s Who of 16th and 17th century England. First and foremost, there was Dr. John Dee, Bacon’s secret mentor who was quite instrumental in nurturing the seed of the The New Atlantis that would soon germinate in North American soil. John Dee was not only Queen Elizabeth’s astrologer and Court oracle whose advice was directly responsible for the final defeat of the Spanish Armada, he was also employed by the family which had adopted Francis Bacon.
Which begs the question: Did Dr. John Dee summon the dark forces of the Universe to aid the inauguration of the British Empire? More specifically, did he employ his well-known occult powers in order to sink the Spanish Armada. Much has been speculated over the intervening centuries regarding this defining moment of the soon-to-be established British Empire. It was, after all, the single most consequential series of military battles between the Spanish and the English which saw a radical shift in the balance of global power to London from Madrid.
The only way to correctly understand the influence that Dee had regarding the defeat of the Spanish Armada is to comprehend the vagaries of the weather. From various retellings of the entire naval war plan it is clear that the Spanish Armada was forever harried by not just inclement weather, but by winds and waves of fierce they effectively scuttled many ships and killed many soldiers. Their whole journey to, around and from the British Isles was bedeviled by fierce and ferocious weather events, some of them seemingly coming out of nowhere. This is where the accounts of John Dee’s counsel to Queen Elizabeth and her admirals become quite significant. From various quarters it has been asserted that Dee had his finger on the pulse of every maneuver by the English Navy, especially how the Admirals responded to every move made by the Spanish Armada.
The sinking of the Spanish Armada broke Spain’s monopoly of the New World, held since the time of Columbus, and opened up a rush of European countries staking their claim in North America.
It has even been speculated that Dee knew in advance what the prevailing weather patterns would be from day-to-day. Others have surmised that it was through his magical powers that he was actually controlling the devastating weather events which followed the Spanish Armada where ever they went. It is in this particular regard that historians point to Dee’s strongly held belief that he was a reincarnation of Merlin as Queen Elizabeth was King Arthur reborn. As follows:

The establishment of the East India Company in 1600, set England firmly on the path toward the creation of the British Empire.
It is now self-evident as to why Great Britain was destined early on to become the sprawling British Empire upon which the sun never set. It should therefore be understandable why the English-speaking nations of the world would eventually emerge as the most powerful and wealthy and influential on Earth. The extraordinary destiny of the United States of America stands as a powerful testament to the vision and determination, planning and execution of those great men of letters and science of the Elizabethan era.The East India Company (EIC) was originally chartered as the Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading into the East Indies, and more properly called the Honourable East India Company (HEIC). It was an English joint-stock company, formed to pursue trade with the East Indies but ended up trading mainly with the Indian subcontinent, Qing Dynasty China, North-West Frontier Province and Balochistan. The company rose to account for half of the world’s trade, particularly trade in basic commodities that included cotton, silk, indigo dye, salt, saltpeter, tea and opium. The company also ruled the beginnings of the British Empire in India.
The company received a Royal Charter from Queen Elizabeth on 31 December 1600, making it the oldest among several similarly formed European East India Companies.
Labeled by both contemporaries and historians as “the grandest society of merchants in the universe”, the English East India Company would come to symbolize the dazzlingly rich potential of the corporation, as well as new methods of business that could be both brutal and exploitative.[1]
As a matter of little-known fact, the very fulfillment of the USA as the New Atlantis is the end result of an extremely secret, multi-century “Master Plan” which was launched by the key members of Queen Elizabeth’s court. This same “Master Plan” then continued to gain much more traction during the Jacobean era that immediately followed.

So important are the contributions of Francis Bacon in this regard that he has been described as follows:
Bacon has been called the father of empiricism. His works established and popularised inductive methodologies for scientific inquiry, often called the Baconian method, or simply the scientific method. His demand for a planned procedure of investigating all things natural marked a new turn in the rhetorical and theoretical framework for science, much of which still surrounds conceptions of proper methodology today.[3]
Sir Francis Bacon: The Quintessential English Renaissance Man
Francis Bacon, more than any other royal advisor to Queen Elizabeth I, was ardently preoccupied with the “tilling of the soil” of the New World.

Shakespeare’s (now known as Bacon’s) literary masterpieces have also served to educate and edify, empower and enlighten citizens and nations alike in their quests for personal and national sovereignty, respectively.
It is generally accepted by world historians and English professors alike that Shakespearean literature is the high point of writing in the English language. To achieve such an extraordinary and enduring feat could only have been accomplished by a select few men who would be well known over the past 500 years. For these and other quite obvious reasons, it is now clear that Sir Francis Bacon & Company was responsible for those unparalleled works of art.To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles ….

Dr. John Dee
Dr. John Dee: Magus, Mentor and Mystery Man of the Elizabethan Era
Francis Bacon had the very best teachers and mentors that England had to offer in his project of raising The New Atlantis. In fact, they represent a veritable Who’s Who of 16th and 17th century England. First and foremost, there was Dr. John Dee, Bacon’s secret mentor who was quite instrumental in nurturing the seed of the The New Atlantis that would soon germinate in North American soil. John Dee was not only Queen Elizabeth’s astrologer and Court oracle whose advice was directly responsible for the final defeat of the Spanish Armada, he was also employed by the family which had adopted Francis Bacon.
The back story of Dr. John Dee is perhaps the most significant in the proper telling of the Elizabethan chapter of this fascinating saga. For it was Dee who brought to bear extraordinary occult powers and his own brand of magic to the global enterprise known as the future British Empire. Put simply, without the direct intervention by John Dee during the sinking and eventual defeat of the Spanish Armada, it is quite likely the English would never have won that historic series of naval battles.Bacon would also get to meet in the Court circles the man who had tutored Leicester and advised Elizabeth on matters of state — the man whom Ian Fleming modeled his 007 James Bond character on, the first and perhaps the best secret agent of the crown, Dr. John Dee.
John Dee (1527-1608) was a fascinating genius, considered a magus, philosopher and alchemist who captured the attention of the royal courts and best minds throughout Europe. You were either intimidated by his ideas and reputation or you wished to be influenced by them.
Dr. Dee’s learning was far and wide, a brilliant mathematician, whose study ranged from geo-cartography and calculus which was vital in navigating the New World for explorers, to astrology, alchemy, the Cabala, cypher writing, religion, architecture, and science. In short, Dee’s metaphysics were a ‘red’ cross of the Hermetic tradition with a strong dose of mathematics. His library at the riverside village of Mortlake was considered the finest private collection in Europe containing thousands of bound books and handwritten manuscripts devoted to philosophy, science and esoterica. In comparison, the University of Cambridge at the time had a mere 451 total books and manuscripts in their possession.[6]
Which begs the question: Did Dr. John Dee summon the dark forces of the Universe to aid the inauguration of the British Empire? More specifically, did he employ his well-known occult powers in order to sink the Spanish Armada. Much has been speculated over the intervening centuries regarding this defining moment of the soon-to-be established British Empire. It was, after all, the single most consequential series of military battles between the Spanish and the English which saw a radical shift in the balance of global power to London from Madrid.
The only way to correctly understand the influence that Dee had regarding the defeat of the Spanish Armada is to comprehend the vagaries of the weather. From various retellings of the entire naval war plan it is clear that the Spanish Armada was forever harried by not just inclement weather, but by winds and waves of fierce they effectively scuttled many ships and killed many soldiers. Their whole journey to, around and from the British Isles was bedeviled by fierce and ferocious weather events, some of them seemingly coming out of nowhere. This is where the accounts of John Dee’s counsel to Queen Elizabeth and her admirals become quite significant. From various quarters it has been asserted that Dee had his finger on the pulse of every maneuver by the English Navy, especially how the Admirals responded to every move made by the Spanish Armada.
The sinking of the Spanish Armada broke Spain’s monopoly of the New World, held since the time of Columbus, and opened up a rush of European countries staking their claim in North America.
It has even been speculated that Dee knew in advance what the prevailing weather patterns would be from day-to-day. Others have surmised that it was through his magical powers that he was actually controlling the devastating weather events which followed the Spanish Armada where ever they went. It is in this particular regard that historians point to Dee’s strongly held belief that he was a reincarnation of Merlin as Queen Elizabeth was King Arthur reborn. As follows:
Who were the many loyal, talented and wise colleagues of Sir Francis Bacon?In 1572, a new star appeared in the heavens, which remained visible night and day for 17 months (we now know that it was a Type Ia supernova, in the constellation Cassiopeia). For the public, it could only mean immanence of the Eschaton—the end of the world. For Dee, it signaled that a new world order was to come—an English Protestant Empire, instead of a Holy Roman one.
It is in this context that Dee proposed a “British Empire,” a phrase he coined—for Dee, this would be nothing less than a restoration of the reign of Arthur, as he believed that Arthur’s original colonies were, in fact, in the New World—even that America was Atlantis itself. Dee saw Elizabeth as the living Arthur; himself, Merlin. He formed a company to colonize, convert and exploit the Americas, even to open a northeast passage to Asia, with a mind to seeking the perceived source of all occult wisdom. There is strong evidence that Dee was the intellectual force behind Francis Drake’s 1577-1580 circumnavigation of the globe. Dee himself was awarded the rights to all newly discovered land north of the 50th Parallel, which would have given him Canada—had Drake gone any further north than Oregon.
So began the Empire on which the sun never sets, or at least didn’t until the end of the 20th century. What are we to make of the fact that one of history’s most successful (and brutal) empires, which held much of the globe in its control for four hundred years, and is responsible for the modern world, was masterminded by an alchemist who spoke to angels in a crystal ball?
