Dante wrote La Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy) because he had just experience a vision of the Trinity. He wanted to come back and relay the knowledge that each human being can live on earth in the Garden of Eden. This is a mystical text as mystical as the sacred scriptures. This is not fantasy it is actually what can be achieved on a personal level.

Dante writes the first verse of the trilogy: "Midway the journey of this life", and in doing so he is telling his reading audience that he is a 'DEAD MAN WALKING'. Meaning that his materialistic life is over with. He is writing the poem as a spiritual being living on earth wanting absolutely nothing to do with materialism.

The trilogy is written as if the author is writing it; actually, it was probably a monastery of monks that used the pen name "Dante Alighieri" to publish the work. Both the author and pilgrim are allegorical figure though academia has yet to catch up with that fact about La Divina Commedia.

The only way that I can prove this is to point out that Dante Alighieri's so called life is structured perfectly with the formula for the Golden Ratio and so is the trilogy La Divina Commedia also structured based upon the Golden Spiral.

La Divina Commedia is written in a highly sophisticated mathematical system, which academia is still scared out of its wits to deal with even after twenty-years of knowing of the existence of this very simple yet sophisticated esoteric science codified to his work: www.williamjohnmeegan.com
