TTOTT ROTATION:
"The book which Hermes hands to the philosopher is the book 'on the shadows of ideas contracted for inner writing' that is to say it contains a list of magic images of the stars to be imprinted on memory. They are to be used on revolving wheels: '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...so that they may be adaptable to all possible formations. We form them in us, as in the **revolution of wheels**. If you know any other way, try it.'--Frances A. Yates, Gioradano Bruno: The secret of the shadows. pg. 213.

I think that 'rotation' and revolution is shared in common between the chracters from RAW's 'Tale of the tribe. What do you think that they share in common?

I think of 'renaissance revolution' reflecting the individual recognition of 'multiplicity and plurality' in things. But then, how do you say it, how to map it, how to show and share it, that thing, such a massive slippery thing?

Dr. Wilson paid tribute to the fact that Paul Levinson described Giordano Bruno's 'decentralized Universe' as the perfect model for cyberspace. There is much more we could take from Giordano Bruno that corresponds to our present inquirey into the tale of the tribe, I have recently been working with Bruno's 'wheels of correspondence' and find them fun new models for mapping the tribe and fusing with certain DJ activities.

Bruno exhibits the hermetic influenced 'hologrammic' style' through his work. The old wisdom languages of Hermes Tristmigistus are among those RAW has commented on, for example describing Giambattista Vico as 'the last of the great Hermeticists".But did the illuminated hermetic current really stop with Vico?

What do Hermeticism and the 'hermetic style' mean to you?

JAMES JOYCE WRITES A BRUNO SHADOW FIGURE IN FINNEGANS WAKE:

"All to which not a lot snapped The **Nolan** of the Calabashes at his whilom eweheart photognomist who by this sum taken was as much incensed by Saint Bruno as that what he had consummed was his own panegoric, and wot a lout about it if it was only a pippappoff pigeon shoot that gracesold getrunner, the man of centuries, was bowled out by judge, jury and umpire at batman's biff like a witchbefooled legate. Dupe. []

**GIORDANO BRUNO:**
"Paul Levinson regards Bruno's de-centered universe as the perfect model of cyberspace.--Robert Anton Wilson, TSOG.

"The two philosophers most frequently mentioned in the Wake, Nicholas of Cusa and Bruno of Nola, taught a dialectic of resolution of opposites. Joseph Needham in his monumental Science and Civilization in China, repeatedly mentions both Bruno and Nicholas as the only two Occidental philosophers before Liebnitz to have a basically Taoist outlook.--Robert Anton Wilson, Joyce and Daoism.



'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'



"Let us hear, Art simplicissime! -- Dearly beloved brethren: **Bruno** and Nola, leymon bogholders and stationary lifepartners off orangey Saint Nessau Street, were explaining it avicendas all round each other ere yesterweek out of Ibn Sen and Ipanzussch. When himupon Nola **Bruno** monopolises his ego**bruno** most unwillingly seses by the mortal powers alionola equal and opposite **bruno**ipso, id est, eternally provoking alio opposite equally as provoked as **Bruno** at being eternally opposed by Nola. Poor omniboose, singalow singelearum: so is he!

-- One might hear in their beyond that lionroar in the air again, the zoohoohoom of Felin make Call. Bruin goes to Noble, aver who is? If is itsen? Or you mean Nolans but Volans, an alibi, do you Mutemalice, suffering unegoistically from the singular but positively enjoying on the plural? Dustify of that sole, you breather! Ruemember, blither, thou must lie! []



"Across the centuries, they traded passing nods of a sort: Marshall McLuhan (1911 - 1980), the highly literate scourge of literacy, and **Giordano Bruno** the Nolan (1548 - 1600), rambunctious philosopher of the infinite. Thanks to James Joyce and Finnegans Wake, McLuhan and Bruno met, so to speak, almost every day. The //Wake// was McLuhan's vade mecum. In later years he kept one copy unbound, with each page pasted onto a sleeve of 3-ring paper. The stack stood in an accessible spot just outside the door of his office. McLuhan was forever plucking fresh pages like a gambler toying with oversized cards. He liked to snap the pages into new configurations, up, down, across, and read the phrases in a kaleidoscopic collage, much as Joyce himself had written them. Bruno, who flits through dozens of the pages, must have become a pleasantly familiar ghost.--[]

"Like Joyce, Vico believed that poetry arose out of creative etymology ("incorrect etymology," in Academese). Like Joyce - and also Whorf and Korzybski - Vico believed in a radical change in language could alter our percieved reality tunnels.--Robert Anton Wilson, Coincidance P. 22.

**GIAMBATTISTA VICO**
"Giambatista Vico, "the father of sociology", suggested in The New Science that Thunder historically underlies the "god" idea; the Noisy Thing roaring in the sky, seemingly in rage, had to be appeased. Sometimes lightning came from that roaring monster, and sometimes lightning killed somebody. Hence Zeus bronnton [Zeus the thunderer], Jupiter, another thunder god; Thor, Donner, whose very name means thunder; etc.... and Yahweh..... and Allah...... Joyce uses this god=thunder equation repeatedly in Finnegans Wake [which drove me to read Vico...]--RAW, [|Thought of the week].




 * "Teems of times and happy returns. The seim anew. Ordovico or viricordo.**
 * Anna was, Livia is, Plurabelle's to be.--James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, pg. 215.**



"Old Vico Roundpoint. But fahr, be fear! And natural, simple, slavish, filial.--James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, pg. 260.

"So from a Viconian perspective, we’re at the end of a third course of history, and are about to see our civilization unravel into anarchy, moving back to the age of Gods, although one progressed beyond the original **thunder Gods** or early Christian ideals of the last two cycles. To be sure, Vico’s theory doesn’t work as well if one thinks about non-western cultures, and his interpretation of history is as poetic and imaginative as it is scientific. But what if in broad terms he’s correct?--[]



"The Vico road goes round and round to meet where terms begin. Still onappealed to by the cycles and unappalled by the recoursers we feel all serene, never you fret, as regards our dutyful cask.--James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, pg 452."

"John Ford's 'The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance' is a portrayal of the transition between the age of heroes and the age of man, as posited by the philosopher and historian **Giambattista Vico**. Vico believed that reason had overcome force as the dominant characteristic in the age of man. Ford's movie portrays the transition between these ages, when reason and force existed contemporaneously. The result is a tragic view of the transition. Once reason has overcome force, representational history, rather than fact and force, is shown to be the sad result of forgetting the age of heroes and deeds.--[]
