Preamble: In the first chart of this
series I stated:
Nostradamus' work holds
many conundrums designed to limit access to the content of his
Prophecies. This is true to an extent where most people believe
his work is the deliberate shambles of a charlatan. Yet there is
direct evidence in his prose writings that show he had a
pre-thought plan which guided his work. His Preface to the first
batch of Prophecies published in 1552 clearly indicate that he
already knew the content that his Prophecies would cover. He
wasn't making it up as he went but took already recorded events
in what seems a random order and placed them in a new sequence
which he called his ten Centuries.
In order to keep control over his writings Nostradamus then needed a scheme
that would tell him which topics he had already covered and he
did this by relying on a coding device well known in the
sixteenth century. It is part of the Cabala but the reasons for
its use don't necessarily require that he believed in the
mystical principles at the heart of its source. He needed a
scheme that a person in a later time would be able to associate
with the time of his writing. The Tree of Life also known as the Sefirot, Sephirot or Sephiroth was such a device. It is probable
that he drew up charts based on these trees in which he placed
ten verses and then used the ciphers traditionally linked to the
ten spheres of the tree to guide the content wording and
lettering in each verse.
(Note: In the chart below verse

Aim of this presentation
It is the purpose of this paper to present the twenty-second Sefirot Chart of
Ciphers which shows the paradigm he used in discussing future
wars.
Nostradamus' interest in war is in its evolution. Our universe's evolution
involves a set of logical sequences which change that which
exists to better fit the extant environment. The primary
logical sequence in this patterning is one that mimics the
physical evolution of matter in space.
There is also a
set of prominent sequence in all evolutionary processes
comprised of those that bestow the ability of surviving change.
And this type of sequence holds the keys to the anguish of
humankind; it isn't capable of bestowing immortality since the
environment it fits will also evolve.
And one product of
this anguish, almost unique to our kind, is the concept of war.
War is a product of human evolution with properties different to
the normal enhancement of survival. In mankind war has been
founded in the dilemmas and environment of economics and power
and hence has evolved into a niche of its own making. The
anthropocentric nature of man has then seen war become an entity
focusing mostly on the fears of the living.
But the
historians and propagandists images of war are of little concern
to Nostradamus, his work is not about battles, heroes and
villains. Nostradamus' concern is not for the rationale nor
the flow of events that lead humankind into war for these, for
all their quantity, are petty examples of the eternal human
problem.
Nostradamus' interest is in the philosophy and psychology of humans as
they are placed under increasing pressure from their inbuilt
evolutionary flaw. His interest lies in the shifting net that
man's technological ingenuity has created; an inevitable path of
brilliant flowering followed by what will appear to our race to
be our self inflicted demise.
This is a fundamental
change in the treatment of war and it shifts all the signals
that are needed to rediscover which of Nostradamus' verses are
connected.
We aren't looking for names of places and combatants nor are we looking
for specific events in the historical record; rather we are
looking for commentary on the art of war and in particular those
aspects that differ from values in the sixteenth century.
This isn't to say that Nostradamus work avoids battles and
heroes but rather that his use of them isn't based on the usual
logic for such stories. His usage is designed to reflect
aspects of future war that is consistent with evolution of
humankind and of human instigated war. His stories tell us about
immutable group issues that shape future wars. At times
individual people and events can highlight a theme but their
details and particulars aren't part of the package as they
aren't the reason for Nostradamus' inclusion.
This theme of mankind's ultimate denial of responsibility for future wars is
readily seen in verses such as C1 Q91.
The Gods will make it appear to mankind that they are the authors
of a great war. Before the sky seen to be free of weapons and
spears the greatest damage will be inflicted on the left. |
Les dieux feront aux humains apparence Ce qu'ilz $eront auteurs
de grand conflict Auant ciel veu $erein e$pee et lance Que vers
main guache $era plus grand afflict |
Similarly verse C1 Q60
presents the story of
Napeolean Bonaparte as a framework for flawed genocidal
leadership in the modern Iraq war era.
An Emperor will
be born near Italy, who will cost the Empire very dearly.
They will say, when they see his allies, that he is less a
prince than a butcher. |
Vn Empereur
nai$tr apres d'italie Qui a
l'empire $era vendu bien cher Diront auec quels
gens il $eralie Quont rouuera moins prince que
boucher |
To uncover
Nostradamus' story lines things we need to look for are
references to: - weapon technology particularly of a
modernistic nature. - attitudinal changes that are themselves
modern. - institutional practices that render modern wars
horrors acceptable to the elite. - counter-reactions that
evolve out of the above factors.
When these themes are identified it can readily be seen that Nostradamus'
verses on war deal with the following issues: - human
escapism from the demise of our race via blaming accidents
initiated by our own actions on the whims of the 'gods'. -
the manner in which the intrinsic inhumanity arising from human
evolution is shifted by technological change. - how the blood
lust of the mob increases in scope as the human vision is
expanded. - the expansion of basic brutality-mechanisms by
groups seeking to redress the imbalance in technological power
used by their enemies. - the implications for end-of-life
practices in emerging environments where current customs
threaten the living. - the far-reaching consequence of
widespread adoption of cloning techniques upon ancient dreams of
ideologists, demagogues and the common person.
It is worth noting that his comments on his work in 1555 cover
much of the same concepts as shown in the chart below.
The world is approaching, an anaragonic revolution [2105 precession of Polestar] and from the present I write here that before a hundred
and seventy seven years three months plus eleven days [2282CE] there will be pestilence,
long famine, and wars. And by worldwide floods between here and the term I have
fore-stated, and before and after it by several times, will [the world] be so
diminished, and so few people will there be found that want to take to the
fields which will become free for as long as their prior owners have held them..Cesar
Preface PCE9
C6 Q02
In the year five hundred eighty more or
less, [1524 (major conjunction) +580= 2104] One will await a very strange century: In the year seven
hundred and three the heavens are witness [1503 (prev maj conj)+703= 2206 = a
century) That several kingdoms
one to five will make a change.
