Poimandres: the Shepherd of Men, referencing “an intricate and mystical” weaving of “ideas of cosmogony, spiritual ascent, and salvation”-your life, Alexander, your living spirit. Thank you. Bless us.
A fitting tribute to a great man. Honoured to have met him (only once, alas): he left an indelible mark. Love his work on De Vere, greatly enjoyed his books on the Waugh family, God and Time. A polymath. RIP.
Mr. Waugh was an exceptional scholar who meticulously analyzed both books and sonnets related to Shakespeare. His work included a thorough examination of the mathematical relationships between verses, as well as the hidden numbers and symbols embedded within those literary pieces. It is remarkable how he explored the connections between these writings and nature’s golden ratio, even going so far as to digitally animate these concepts in his videos. In my view, he exemplified the qualities of a true natural philosopher. Nature's footprints can even be observed in the magnetic and dielectric fields. I regret not having had the chance to engage in discussions on his UA-cam channel. 🙏
I was afraid to watch this video because every time I remember that Alexander has shuffled off our mortal coil I burst into tears. Thank you, Phoebe, for this joyous video. I particularly loved seeing him wear the Tom Regnier Veritas Award that I played a part in creating.
What a man! Thank you for all your great videos and talks... and books...! I feel I know you personally through your youtube channel and other ventures these past 15 years or so. One of the very few great, intelligent men this country has produced of recent years.
Yesterday I was reading the last fable of Jean de La Fontaine : “Apprendre à se connaître est le premier des soins /Qu’impose à tout mortel sa Majesté suprême. / Vous êtes-vous connu dans le monde habité ?» (1693) Warm thanks to you, Alexandre, for your great work and your true words. Vero Nihil Verius. A french-speaking Belgian musician in deep tuning and sympathy.
What a loss. Rarely in my life have I listened to a man and thought here in humility lies greatness. True nobility of soul is a rare experience in life. Alexander was, for me, a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. He reminded me of my dearest friend and mentor. His mind sparkled with wit and authentic joy. He was every inch all that he saw in De Vere and communicated so eloquently to us. Thank you Alexander and I look forward to meeting you again on the other side of the bridge.
He is why I discovered SOF. One night I was watching German conversations, then UA-cam suggested SOF and I was suddenly watching Alexander Waugh talking about the triple tau----------I miss him VERY much---------sigh-------------
So sad to hear he's gone. Great man, loved his work, respected him as a person. I knew he was ill but I've been patiently waiting for a new video on his channel.. he had me hooked and his death will certainly leave a small hole in my life.
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come. Those who would know life must first experience death and return. The last enemy and dearest of friends. Disguised as a man but in fact a woman of astonishing beauty. I have seen her and in seeing her my heart was pierced by a love so pure, so eternal, so familiar. I have fought with her. I have died defending her. I have lived countless lives under her banner as friend and fellow warrior. All in truth know her. All in truth will see her and all who abide in her world know that death is a blessing and release. Courage born of devotion, free of fear and joy in every reunion. My Queen. Fearless and brave as any man.
I was so sad to hear of his illness but had great hopes for his recovery. He is a very special man who will be mightily missed. I’m so grateful for the wisdom he so generously imparted…
If you go near 'doctors' with their chemotherapy/radiation poisoning your finished.i put in comments a year ago that the information is out there.cancer cannot thrive in an alkaline body.do a detox.theres also interesting evidence in favour of apricot seeds as a cure for cancer.the medical profession was taken over by the evil Rockefeller over 100 years ago.don't laugh unless you can prove any of this wrong. I wish Alexander had looked into it for his own sake as well as he looked into De Vere
Oh what a beautiful tribute to an extraordinary man. I didn’t know what a musician he was! Bounded in a nutshell, king of infinite space, and like all of us, subject to bad dreams. Thank you Phoebe! I wouldn’t have known if it weren’t for you 🙏
So well said! Rest in peace, dear Alexander. Thank you for this lovely tribute, Phoebe. His passing reminds me of how much we miss Tom Regnier as well. Two great Oxfordian souls.
This is a wonderful tribute to the man. If I could rate this properly, I would give it 1,000 thumbs up, but since I cannot, the once will have to suffice. This encapsulates his philosophy perfectly, summing up a lifetime of research and questioning the cosmos. His roots are deep and solidly in the bedrock of ancient Greece and the original Christian mystics and moving through the Renaissance through to today. Thanks for allowing us to hear him as if from the beyond. I find it interesting that he practiced on those "silly" roll-up pianos. I might pick one up myself one day. The fact he is shown using one is a great endorsement. I always thought of them as useless, but now I know they can function like a drummer's set of practice pads. The things we learn...
Really glad to see this. Alexander taught me something and made my search greater. I have mentioned him in my UA-cam interview Mask of Shakespeare. In another interview I found several names, over 15, on Sonnet 2. Including “Lord Ed de Vere” hidden like scrabble in plain sight. Might the quest bring each of us closer. So many great minds in the Poets Corner. Let us never forget the minds of debate.
I have only been a member of the De Vere Society for a year, but have known about Edward for 20 years through my Trussell family genealogy research, where through the marriage of Elizabeth Trussell to John De Vere the 15th Earl of Oxford I have become aware of this famous writer! It is very sad news about Alexander Waugh and I thank you for your videos and good conversations and as I seek further information on the subject matter, this video here shows how knowledgeable AW was and again I believe his thoughts on both Edward and GOD or as he states.....we are one!
Thank you for this superb tribute to a truly remarkable gent. Alex will be deeply missed. I’m confident that the significance and beauty of his work will be recognized to a greater and greater extent over time. And do keep up your own fascinating and enjoyable productions as well!
A beautiful tribute to the great Alexander Waugh! The Waugh, the Truth, and the Life! His personality and scholarship, such a great gift! As have so many, I've been inspired by him to try to build on his work.
Amen! So beautiful a tribute to a brilliant thinker scholar and thinker. His words here also provide a great context within which to read 'Shakespeare' in general. RIP Alexander Waugh.
Very beautiful video Phoebe, a lovely tribute. Really is such a great loss. Alexander was so incredibly switched on. Sure he’s having a wonderful time on his onward journey.
Well done Phoebe for putting this together and posting it for the world to appreciate - a very moving tribute and wonderful that it is in his own words. As for nous (rhymes with house - in British English at least) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nous " ... a concept from classical philosophy, sometimes equated to intellect or intelligence, for the faculty of the human mind necessary for understanding what is true or real. ..."
So much infinite space in a brief video nutshell. And the idea of unity plus plenitude--Alexander seems to have been playing passages like the ones in Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand, written for Paul Wittgenstein (prominent in Alexander's biography of the Wittgensteins). One more tidbit: Alexander was the producer of a recording of cello and piano music by my favorite British composer, Arnold Bax. Addendum: Arnold Bax's brother Clifford, a prominent playwright, helped publish J.T. Looney's article on De Vere, Sidney, and The Merry Wives. Not only that, Clifford Bax drew Percy Allen's attention to Shakespeare Identified. Such ripples emanate forever and forever...
The word which the subtitling renders as 'gnosis' [1:10 and 2:10] sounds to me like Alexander was saying 'naos', which Liddell & Scott define as "the dwelling of a god, a temple" [I] and "the inner part of a temple, the cell, the shrine" in which the image of the god was placed [II]. I'll admit that the sense of what he seems to be saying is rendered well as 'gnosis' (i.e. ;Knowledge', as in "Know thyself"), but the word he uses twice sure sounds like 'nowse' -- rhyming with 'house' and 'mouse' but with an initial 'N', which would suggest the Greek word 'naos', defined above. Seeing as how a 'naos' -- the inner part, or Sanctum Sanctorum/Holy of Holies of a temple -- is a physical place where 'god' is thought to dwell, and where a special High Priest may physically enter, existing in a sacred space at 'one' with God, does that not tie in with his references to God, the Cosmos, and Mankind as a 'Trinity'?
@@zelfa1616 The Greek word 'nous' -- spelled Nu Omicron Upsilon Sigma -- is a contracted form of the word 'noos' [spelled Nu Omicron Omicron Sigma] and means 'mind' -- but it would be pronounced like the English word 'noose', whereas Alexander seems to me to have been saying a word rhyming with 'mouse', 'house', 'louse', etc. Maybe Alexander was mispronouncing 'noos'/'nous', making it sound more how 'naos' is to be pronounced -- and I'm going by how I learned to pronounce the Greek alphabet's vowels and diphthongs back in the mid-1980s when I took 2 years of Greek and Latin (and a semester course on Biblical Hebrew). My previous comment was concerned more with how my ear heard his pronunciation of a word that sounded to me like 'nowse' [rhyming with 'house', etc.], yet seeing the subtitled word 'gnosis' on the screen -- a word that means 'knowledge' and, like it, does not ordinarily have the initial letter 'g' [Gamma] pronounced, so that one usually pronounces 'gnosis' as 'NOH-siss', just as we don't pronounce the 'k' in 'knowledge' -- though way back when, speakers of Middle English may very well have pronounced the 'k' the same way those French guards atop that castle wall in MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL pronounced the 'k' and 'g' in the word 'knights': 'kuh-NIGG-its'. Many of the 'g' and 'k' letters in older English words have become silent letters over the last 6 or 7 centuries, yet once were pronounced. Pronunciation of the vowels -- especially Greek vowels when both Omicron and Omega are transliterated into English with the same letter 'o' -- can be tricky, and I couldn't help but wonder if Alexander was pronouncing a different word than 'gnosis', which was what was transcribed on-screen. I suggested 'naos' (where the 'o' is an Omicron, NOT an Omega) because it sounded to me what he had vocalized -- but, for all I know, he may very well have intended a different word entirely, perhaps the word you suggested, namely 'nous' = 'mind'. Alas, he's not here anymore to clarify which word he actually meant, and that is our loss.
@@patricktilton5377 Thank you for that detailed response! I agree that he was likely intending to mean something other than what we conceive upon seeing the word 'gnosis' as it is used in modernity. I am not as familiar with the Greek roots of 'naos' vs. 'nous' and so I appreciate your breakdown of the etymological history. Our loss indeed.
@@patricktilton5377 Since Waugh is talking about the Poimandres (the first book of the Corpus Hermeticum) I think he's most likely saying "nous": "I am Poimandres the Nous of the Supreme." "That light" he said, "is I, Nous, your God, who was before the watery substance which appeared out of the darkness; and the clear Word from Nous is the Son of God." The word "nous" is kind of central to the Poimandres, it discusses the idea in a variety of ways, with the distinctive way that Hermetists used that word - I'm not qualified to discourse on Hermetism, but I think they did have the idea that the divine Mind and one's own mind are ultimately one, if one can come to recognize it. Actually - just remembered he talked about this in his last episode on the 174T podcast- just after 12 : 30 he's talking about the Poimandres and the concept of Nous, that seems to be how he pronounced it.
as tantalizing as it would be to shroud the truth in more mystery, i think it’s incredibly disrespectful to his family to falsely speculate or joke in this manner. he spoke openly of his battle w/ prostate cancer. hope this helps.
Alexander lives on in this beautiful tribute, though my tears deceive me. With gratitude, Phoebe...
Thanks Joella 🙏🏻
We lost a great man! Glad to know you are now in the company of the real Shakespeare... Shalom Shalom.

Oh Phoebe… Heartbreaking, Beautiful… ‘The valiant never taste death but once’
Thanks for this Phoebe! Very sad to hear of Alexander's death...it was he that made me an Oxfordian with his wonderful You Tube postings.
Mr. Waugh was an exceptional scholar who meticulously analyzed both books and sonnets related to Shakespeare. His work included a thorough examination of the mathematical relationships between verses, as well as the hidden numbers and symbols embedded within those literary pieces. It is remarkable how he explored the connections between these writings and nature’s golden ratio, even going so far as to digitally animate these concepts in his videos. In my view, he exemplified the qualities of a true natural philosopher. Nature's footprints can even be observed in the magnetic and dielectric fields. I regret not having had the chance to engage in discussions on his UA-cam channel.
🙏
Thanks for this comment, and for keeping his work alive posthumously with your engagement
I am so indebted to AW ...filling in the pieces of the puzzle ... Who was this author? Why was he buried so? Who knew? What a brilliant scholar...
I was afraid to watch this video because every time I remember that Alexander has shuffled off our mortal coil I burst into tears. Thank you, Phoebe, for this joyous video. I particularly loved seeing him wear the Tom Regnier Veritas Award that I played a part in creating.
Thanks for watching, Julie ❤️ his memory is a blessing
Indeed, it is so perfectly fitting that Alexander received the award named in honor of the late Tom Regnier.
What a man! Thank you for all your great videos and talks... and books...! I feel I know you personally through your youtube channel and other ventures these past 15 years or so. One of the very few great, intelligent men this country has produced of recent years.

Thankyou for uploading. It is indeed a sad loss, very sad; but he leaves a great body of work which is truly fascinating.
Beautiful tribute. Only discovered him a few years ago sadly but gracious I did. And now I’ve been led here and gracious as well.
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful video, beautiful soul!
There are other worlds that need him now. Wherever he is, I’m sure he won’t be idle. Safe travels, AW.
I was so sad to hear of his illness but had great hopes for his recovery. He is a very special man who will be mightily missed. I’m so grateful for the wisdom he so generously imparted…

Alexander Waugh is dead, but his soul goes marching on.
Tom Regnier (Covid) and now Alexander Waugh. We have lost two giants. RIP both these great men. Thank you, Phoebe - lovely tribute.
So well said! Rest in peace, dear Alexander. Thank you for this lovely tribute, Phoebe. His passing reminds me of how much we miss Tom Regnier as well. Two great Oxfordian souls.

Where is all this footage from? Is this a compilation of past videos he appeared in? If so, where can I find them?
Some footage we shot this year at his house, and also a lot from a BBC doc he did called Piano: A Love Affair
@@phoebe_devere thank you! and thanks for putting this together. If there's anymore you can share in the future I'm sure we'd love to see it
Such a wise man
(I think he is saying "nous" rather than "gnosis", unless those two terms are interchangeable?)
I do believe you are correct. He is saying "nous." Which means something along the lines of "divine intelligence."
Thanks to Alexander and all those that are cutting through the lies and the hidden truth about Shakespeare. I am now and always an Oxfordian.
