Nostradamus C7 Q36: The evolution of the Soul from horror to trust
Copyright: Allan Webber, December 2015, Jan 2023

Modern man has largely forgotten that our species is not the end point but merely a passing flutter in the unrelenting progress of evolution.  

 In the second pair of verses in the Origin series Nostradamus emphasises not the strength but the weakness in our evolutionary path.  Evolution is the agency making the inconceivable exist and persist and for all its potential it offers a flawed as well as a robust path.

It has those choices because what evolves isn't affected by judgement; it is the mix that persists and forms the base of existence.

That mix may hold unstable components, limited expansion capability, false truths or ideas reflecting distorted or corrupted values and visions. Such a mix by its current abundance is a basis on which the evolutionary flow will act in a Darwinian fashion. From it can emerge new structures, new agencies, new visions a few of which will endure while others because of their flaws, will quickly decay or change. But without the pattern of genetic repetition it survives like a crystal., fixed in an unchanging pattern while the conditions are rigtht. This is the basis of the message in the second pair of the Origin and Causes series.

In the first line of verse C7 Q36 Nostradamus links the dramatic changes in the human soul to the time of flood at the end of this century and he highlights our evolutionary fadvantage at that time is our unique ability to use  words. He then ties this with details about the way in which humans bring about the end to their own dominance.

The anagrams tell the same story in a different way, reflecting on the savagery of our past through the mirror of Nazi Germany and modern industrial energy demands.

There is also an anagram for Epicurus (341-270 BC) a gnostic philosopher who advocated  the purpose of philosophy was to attain the happy, tranquil life... He taught that pleasure and pain are the measures of what is good and evil; death is the end of both body and soul and should therefore not be feared; the gods neither reward nor punish humans; the universe is infinite and eternal; and events in the world are ultimately based on the motions and interactions of atoms moving in empty space.

There is litte room to doubt that the words Nostradamus used reflect the tones of Epicurus which then shapes how we might assess the prophet's work. The significance of these verses then becomes tied to Nostradamus' claims to see the future and to the challenges our generation faces as we become aware that beings exist with reasoning and communication powers different to our own.

Together these anagrams point to a less tranquil path  than in the first pair (in the origin list at top right) . By the secod pairs inclusion and paralling of the words in the first pair, they indicate evolution cannot offer a  guaranteed outcome based on an event's  particular origin. Chance is still at play even when all paths are inevitably followed.
