INTRODUCTION

 * "from tomtittot to teetootomtotalitarian'--James Joyce, Finnegans Wake (Anthony Burgess, Here Comes Eeverybody, 223.)**

Due to the vast array of texts available in this study I have decided to show how a simple arbitrary number selection, a number meaningful to me for pretty much indescribable and illogical, un-scientific reason's in the classical sense, can create a guide for reading, and maybe a new game for TTOTT reading.

I deduce that page number to be 223 (TwoTwenTyThree) and here I will correlate any signals and textual synchronicity produced by reading from page 223 of various texts I associate with 'the tale of the tribe'. I hope you will dip and dive into any related texts and see what turns up, you be the judge of weather there is a continuity between these arbitrary pages, but from where I am sitting I have created the perfect new pattern of investigative research in the titanic maelstrom.

This exercise is inspired, initially, by the synchro-mesh surrounding page 223 of [|Cosmic Trigger, (1977)] and page 223 of Jung's [|'memoirs, dream's, reflection's' (1963)] and I refer you to the fabulous retelling of this synchro-mesh by the late great Ken Campbell, at the [|Robert Anton Wilson memorial concert] held at Queen Elizabeth II hall in London, March 2007. The day before I moved to Amsterdam, where I currently reside.

FRAGMENTS OF A DREAM
Saul Paul Sirag once related a group of strange synchronistic events to me that were used as a metaphor for physics and mathematics and the emergence of some kind of 'intelligence' in a diverse array of sciences and areas of research. Saul told me how the Argentine' writer Borges' picked up on the fragments of dream that link Samuel Coolridge and Kublai Khan together.

Coolridge had a great dream that was interrupted, a dream about the construction of a great dome in the desert. Borges noted that Kublai Khan built such a dome, or that he started but never finished it. Like the dream itself, and as Saul Paul said, like how breakthroughs emerge in different fields of academia, often lacking the cohesion and synthesis required for the elegance and beauty of good progress, fragments of dreams and half finished buildings haunt us all.

On page 223 of the book by Forrest Read called '76, one world and the cantos of Ezra Pound, I discovered, yesterday, the 28th of August 2010, 'the tale of the tribe' mentioned by name close to 'Kublai Khan', that brings the above encounter to my mind again, a small ditto, but something that struck me none-the-less.

PASSAGES TOWARDS TTOTT UNITY
"Sleek head: Canto LXXXIX, 'Sleek head that saved me out of one chaos' (516/484). James Joyce apparently expressed his sole praise for Pound's work by way of comment 'The sleek head of verse, Mr. Pound, emerges in your work' (seeyye, 104).--Peter Brooker, A Students Guide To the Cantos Of Ezra Pound, 223.

"Here I am, said Stephen.--James Joyce, A Portrait of the Artists as a Young Man, 223."

"I keep thinking about that man named Joyce, and I feel there is a specter haunting Europe: but I do not know its name" --Robert Anton Wilson, The Earth Will Shake, 223.

"He called Finnegasn Wake "that Diarrhoea of consciousness", but laughed joyfully recalling a drunken Joyce in Paris trying to Kick down the chandelier. Yeats was "fond of spooks."--C. David Heymann, Ezra Pound: The Last Rower, 223.

"There is Irish precedent in A Tale of a Tub commenting on its own unreadability. All books are more or less unreadable, and theologians are still trying to read the Bible.--Hugh Kenner, A Colder Eye, 223.

"Everything that is, after the One, is necessarily multiplex and numerous. Thus on the lowest grade of the scale of nature is infinite number, on the highest is infinite unity. As the ideas are the principle forms of things, according to which all is formed, so we should form in us the shadows of ideas. We form them in us, as in the revolution of wheels. --Giordano Bruno, 'thirty intensions of the shadows' (Francis Yates, Giordano Bruno and The Hermetic Tradition, 223).

"In 2012, if the McKenna scenario is right, comes Omega point.--Robert Anton Wilson, Cosmic Trigger, 223.

"Esoteric Yeatsism: the flowering of a dream."--Richard Ellmann, Yeats the Man and the Masks, 223.

"But to apply to all things the system of Gulliver and The Tale of The Tub, to dislocate the forms of logic and reasoning, to demolish the edifice of our representations upon which our conventions rest - our ideas of order, consequence, continuation, conformity, even of space and time - to dissolve at last language itself and the words by which we designate all things, this was to shake the columns of the universe and make the temple quiver to its base, it was to substitute a new creation, the world of consciousness and dream for the reality of things and gods.--Louis Gillet, The Living Joyce, 223.

"National security must always fall short of the logically Empedoclean infinite regress it requires for perfect 'security'--Robert Anton Wilson, Prometheus Rising, 223.

"What literature has to do with it--the function of good writing in the State" implies incorporation of "L'Idea Statale" and "Volitionist Economics" into "the tale of the tribe." --Forrest Read, 76: One world and the Cantos of Ezra Pound, 223.

"of all the forms of the world, the preeminent are the celestial forms. Through them you will arrive from the confused plurality of things at the unity.-- Giordano Bruno 'thirty intensions of the shadows' Francis Yates, Giordano Bruno and The Hermetic Tradition, 223.

"On December 17th, 1994 --Beethoven's 224th Birthday-- Associated Press revealed that a lock of Beethoven's hair, removed from his head by his sister in law Johana Van Beethoven, and presently held by the Huttenbrenner family, will soon settle the racial rumors about the composer. --Robert Anton Wilson, Cosmic Trigger III, 223.

"The oriental and African division of music into raga and tala i.e., rhythm-tune and pitch-tune, is probably more fecund in diversity. The churn, the loom, the spinning wheel, the oars, all give splendid bases for distinctive rhythms which can never degenerate into the monotony of mere iambs... --Ezra Pound, The New Age, 15 April, 1920, Ezra Pound and Music, 223.

"beyond a certain point," Crowley wrote, "the whole universe becomes a continuous Initiation" --Robert Anton Wilson, Cosmic Trigger, 223.

"RAW pastry I like, myself.--James Joyce, Ulysses, 223.

"Rawmeasch, quoshe with her girlic teangue. If old Herod with the Cormwell's eczema was to go for me like he does Snuffler whatever about his blue canaries I'd do nine months for his beaver beard."--James Joyce, Finnegans Wake (Anthony Burgess, Here Comes Everybody, 223.)

"58. Tui/ The Joyous, Lake" I-Ching, Wilhelm Translation, 223.

"Twined around the vase the double helix confronted us, done in red glaze against a black background. The DNA molecule. There could be no mistake. "Twenty-three or four hundred years ago," Fat said. "Not the picture but the krater, the pottery."--Philip K. Dick, V.A.L.I.S, 223.

"Major Strasse from sirius has been looking at you, kid."--Robert Anton Wilson, Coincidance, 223.

"The speed up of information gathering and publishing naturally created new forms of arranging material for readers.--Marshall Mcluhan, Understanding Media, 223.

"Freeddom, that is, must be more than an abstractly posited goal of the epic poet; it must be shown at work as a category of the narrative itself.--Michael Bernstein, TTOTT, 223.
