Nostradamus’ interest in the Modern World.  
From my blog-site starting January 13^th 2010  

For the past three weeks I have been working on the material I published in my list of anagrams about future events. I have been re-examining the verses in which they are found for plausible inter-connections. It is a time-consuming but necessary task if the quality of the analysis is to advance. It is also very demanding and after several weeks my eyes complain that I should do something a little more relaxing. Writing serves that pupose so although my preparation isn’t complete I will use some of what I have uncovered to develop my themes.

My major purpose is the identification of what would rationally excite an author of the 16^th century to write obscure prophecies about times in the far distant future. Part of that process involves combining sense with the topics found within the anagrams. For instance we can’t expect every topic and every event that involved change in the last five hundred years to occur in a mere 942 verses. Also, there is little point in a hidden record that only tells us what we know. There is not much greater merit in telling us things we don’t know and can’t change. Nostradamus’ work serves no useful purpose unless it is his way of contributing to the knowledge of mankind. There is no contribution if it merely catalogues events; it is only if Nostradamus reveals his methodology for reading the future that his efforts were worthwhile. It isn’t the content of the events but the evidence of an ongoing link between future time and the present that would validate his efforts.

So I believe any merit in Nostradamus record of events must lie in its ability to establish credibility for the art of seeing the future. We can from this conclude that Nostradamus’ themes involve things he couldn’t have known from any reasonable platform of the past.  For example the idea of atoms and elements was not new even in Nostradamus’ day but the concepts of sub-particles and radioactive elements were. Already I have indicated that actinium, positrons, leptons and denuclearistation seem to be a far greater part of the story than are the traditional elements of ancient knowledge. In that context it should not be surprising to find that many locations given by Nostradamus are sites where major novel experiments and events have taken or are taking place. Specifically, I believe that a cluster of Nostradamus verses concentrate on Belarus because of the legacy of Chernobyl and its pending environmental aftermath. I also believe that Nostradamus had a special interest in the region around Lake Lemans in Switzerland where the Hadron Collider and a large geothermal project are based.

Nostradamus interest in Experimental Physics in the region of Lake Leman.

The Hadron Collider lies near Geneva at the most southerly point of Lake Leman. It straddles the Swiss/French border near the town of Meyrin . The first of the verses I wish to present as my evidence is clearly located in the same area and it holds numerous interesting reference points.

CENTURIES I Quatrain 47

·          Du lac Leman les Sermons faScheront………. The speeches of Lake Leman will become angered,  
Les jours Seront reduicts par les Sepmaines…. the days will drag out into weeks,  
 Puis moys,puis an, puis tous deffailliront……… then months, then years, then all will fail.  
 Les magiStrats damneront leurs loix vaines…… The authorities will condemn their useless powers.

It is not difficult to envisage that this verse tells the story of the League of Nations . The League was formed to be the voice for world-government to avert the danger of man’s self destruction that technological change had made possible. It was created in 1919 and was sited at Lake Lemans . In 1935 Germany and other militaristic nations withdraw but by this time the League had been recognised as a toothless tiger unable to fulfil its ambitions for a better brotherhood for all mankind. It is worth noting that a discussion on man’s inability to bring his cultural structures in line with rapidly advancing technology is the theme that I stated in an earlier section underpins Nostradamus’ prognostications on the great mutations. In this context The League of Nations is surely the most prominent of symbols to encapsulate this aspect of the tragedy of man. This interpretation also makes the visible text a reference to a checkable past, but ours, not that of Nostradamus. That such a connection should be made in modern times does little to establish that this was foreknowledge revealed to us by Nostradamus because our minds can find meaningful patterns in clouds and tea-leaves. There has to be much more for any credibility to emerge.

As usual it is the anagrams that alerted me to the potentials in this verse. The one that first drew my attention is that of positronium (iront Puis mo) in the third line. This is the only occurrence of this anagram throughout Nostradamus’ Prophecies. There are two other infrequent anagrams found in this verse that are significantly linked to the concept of positrons, these are particles (icts par le) and destruction (ont reduicts).  Now positrons are a form of antimatter as they are the anti-particle to electrons. The predecessor to the Hadron collider, the Large-Electron-Positron collider , was the basis of a particle-research project involving the destruction of an electron by bringing it into contact with its anti-particle, the positron. Whenever a particle and its anti-particle meet the mass of each is totally annihilated and converted to energy. In the instance when the annihilation occurs a positronium molecule, consisting of an electron and a positron, is usually fleetingly produced and the study of this phantom of the universe was one of the projects goals. This project ceased in the year 2000 to make way for the Large Hadron Collider which utilises collisions between protons. It should be noted that once again the references in this prophecy to the L-E-P project allude to the past. However by their use I have identified why I saw this verse as a reference point to the Hadron collider and although there is more in the verse to confirm this link I need to bring in some other verses before proceeding with their presentation.

The Large Hadron Collider

In the previous section I showed how the visible text of C.I. Q.47 could be seen as a prominent symbol for man’s inability to amend his institutions at a rate needed to match the increased pace of technological change. I also showed that the Lake Leman ’s area was a focal point for research into particle physics. If, as I further indicated, positronium was detailed by Nostradamus in this quatrain it too represents a powerful symbol regarding his material. Positronium is about as far out there as you can get with modern technology and represents the massive gap between 16^th century capabilities and today. To envisage a 27 kilometer underground tunnel accelerating particles so small that no one had ever contemplated them before the late 1800’s would have fascinated a science trained person such as Nostradamus. But any fascination was purely for interest sake since it could serve no useful purpose to a man of the 16^th C. And the Hadron collider illustrates the gap between science structures and social structures of man since it involves over 10,000 scientists from more than 100 nations working successfully together. It is for these symbolic reasons that Lake Leman was significant to Nostradamus and still is to us.

But it is time to examine a second verse.  C.I. Q.10, which contain an anagram of positrons (there is only one other occurrence and that will be discussed at a later date).

CENTURIES I Quatrain 10

·         Serpens tranSmis dans la caige de fer….. A serpent is put into the vault of iron,  
Ou les enfans Septains du Roy Sont pris… where seven children of the king are held.  
Les vieux & peres Sortiront bas de l'enfer…The ancestors and forebears will come forth from the dead  
Ains mourir voir de fruic mort & crys……….lamenting to see thus dead the fruit of their line

Whatever other imagery may be evoked from this verse its first line is quite apt for the Hadron collider with its beams snaking through manifold pipes lined with magnets but this is not the focus of my interest nor is the anagram of positrons (sont pris O) found in the second line. My interest is in the astronomy links I have already shown between this verse and C.I Q.47 . In Nostradamus’Astronomy Sources I show that these two verses involve the movements of the Polestar and I then showed in my paper on Nostradamus’ mutation theme that he used the Polestar movements to define the period of the vast mutations that are his concern. The primary period of his interest is from the year 2000 to the year 2100 and interestingly the year 2000 marks the end of the L-E.P collider and the commencement of the Large Hadron collider. To me it seems highly significant that these two verses not only involve the mainstays of the dating system but that each holds the same theme, the history of particle physics at Lake Leman .

Disaster in Geneva .

In the previous sections I have tried to give depth to Nostradamus’ interest in Geneva and its lake, Lac Leman. These names feature fourteen times in Nostradamus’ prophecies and there are consistent threads that interlink many of the quatrains in which they occur. Two of the most relevant for my current presentation are sufficient to show the supporting themes. Their visible content is given below.

Centuries IX Quatrain 44

Migres migre de GeneSue treStous…. Leave, leave Geneva every last one of you,
Saturne d'or en fer Se changera…….. Saturn from gold to iron will be changed,
Le contre RAYPOZ exterminera tous.. The opposing RAYPOZ will exterminate all,    
Auant l'a ruent le ciel Signes fera….… Before it has started the sky will show signs. 

Centuries VI Quatrain 81

Pleurs, crys et plaincts, hurlement effraieur…. Tears, cries and laments, howls, terror,       
Coeur inhumain, cruel. noir, et tranSy………... Heart inhuman, cruel, black and chilly:       
Leman les iSles de Gennes les maieurs……… Lake of Geneva les Isles of Gennes mainly affected,     
Sang eSpancher, frofaim a nul mercy…….….. Blood to pour out, ‘frofaim’ (wheat-famine?) mercy to none.

It seems there is a disaster that lies ahead for Geneva but although it is on a large scale it isn’t world shattering. The third line of the second verse and other verses can be considered as defining the region of greatest impact and they describe a triangle based on Lake Leman stretching 115km northwards up to Gennes just east of Besancon and then 65km across and up to L’ Isle sur le Doubs which is just south of Belfort and some 170km from Geneva. The third line of the first of the two verses holds an unfamiliar word RAYPOZ that Nostradamus capitalised. To some this may evoke an image of a ray formed from positrons yet such a device is not possible today.  

Modern day scientists’ interest in positron is not just academic since it is seen as a potential new ultra-lightweight power source suitable for inter-planetary travel. Just 10 milligrams (which is about 1/6^th the weight of a grain of wheat) could supply enough energy to send a current spacehip to Mars. However positron-science is still primitive compared to that of the electron with our knowledge comparable to that when only the awe of lighning and the magic attraction from rubbing amber with fur were known. Our current real issues for positrons involve their production and storage not its uses. However what we will be able to do with positrons in the next one hundred years will probably rival the engineering wizardry that now uses electrons to make rocks speak and show images. And when it happens the marvels underlying these advances will disappear under the unquestioning acceptance of the populace as happened with those image-showing, sound-issuing rocks that are familiar to all of us as TV’s, mobile phones,   computers etc.  However even today these devices are still the work of sorcery since most know nothing of how these things are possible. This blissful ignorance of both risk and reward is important since the intrinsic mysteries are discounted and ignored through faith in technology and the contempt bred of over-familiarity. Attitudes are the real issues that underlie these verses as I will show in coming sections.

On reading the first of these verses a reader might feel justified in claiming I am wrong and Nostradamus’ purpose was to forewarn the world of potential disasters but this cannot be so. Nobody with any rationality will flee a region on the basis of a warning from the past. No this is not a warning but a reporting on the current state of mind. Recently Australia has introduced a category RED for days of potential bushfire catastrophe. This category advises people to flee before the risk is real. Increasing climatic hazards are seeing such warnings increase around the world and it is highly probable that in the light of a foreseen disaster that the Swiss, French and German governments would issue a warning “Flee, flee Geneva every last one of you”.

Details of the disaster on the Swiss border with France.  

According to my hypotheses such poignant verses as presented in the previous section will contain hidden material that will validate their import. I believe the following material fulfils that expectation. I begin with the third line of C.IX Q.44 whose hidden content is surely a most remarkable and unexpected validation of my theme.

Centuries IX Quatrain 44 line 3

• Le contre RAYPOZ exterminera tous…… The opposing/anti RAYPOZ will exterminate all
• Lecontre ray pozexterminer at ous
• Electron ray experimentorz at ous

Although anagrams for electron/s are quite frequent in Nostradamus’ Prophecies there is no other occurrence that lies adjacent to an anagram for ray. There is also no other anagram in the whole text for any word based on the root ‘experiment’, yet here one occurs in a fashion that forms a perfect sequence of words ‘electron ray experimentorz’.  There is much more in this line and the other three but that is for later discussion since my aim here is to show why I can have confidence that my theme and explanation of the visible text is supported by the hidden content.

The hidden material in the prophecies serves a variety of roles but its major purpose is to provide detail of the event cryptically presented in the visible text.  The detail in C VI Q.81, the other verse presented in the previous section, provides a useful base for what is to follow so I present some of its material below.

Line one of this verse contains anagrams that say planetic element hurts (etplainc tshur lemente) and such a substance offers an adequate reason for the distress expressed when considered with other content of the verse.

C.VI Q.81 L1  Pleurs crys et plaincts hurlement effraieur …. Tears, cries and laments, howls, terror,  

Now there are three planetic elements, Neptunium, Plutonium and Uranium all of which are capable of hurting since each is radioactive but the second line of this same verse convinces me the element meant is uranium. Although several of the anagrams are imperfectly formed their presence together in this verse and rarely anywhere else justifies their acceptance. The series of elements of which these are part is one of the transition series in the periodic table and the radioactive isotopes of this series are of a transitory nature.  

C.VI Q.81 L2 Coeur inhumain, cruel. noir, et tranSy…... Heart inhuman, cruel, black and chilly: 
Uranic (aincru), nuclear-ion (aincruelno), uranium-enrich (eurinhumaincr), transitory-e(oirettransy), Laurencium (umaincruel)

The third line of the same verse tells us some of the impact from the radiation while offering further reasons as to why those affected will cry, lament and curse.

C.VI Q.81 L3 Leman les iSles de Gennes les maieurs……… Lake of Geneva les Isles of Gennes mainly affected,  
Male illness seed (lema nlesisl esde), maleness gene (eGen neslesma)  

The theme of the verse is about the radioactive mutation of genes that affect the ability to reproduce of those afflicted in the Geneva incident. There is even more in these two verses from which I am inclined to believe that these events are deliberate actions designed to cull the population. A hint of this can be seen in a pair of adjacent anagrams found in the line that talks of a Heart inhuman, cruel, black and chilly. The words formed out of letters at each end of the line say unheroic tyrants which is highly consistent with the visible text. There is of course more to add and this I will begin in the next section.

A genocide by germ warfare waged against  the populace.

 
Centuries IX Quatrain 44
Migres migre de GeneSue treStous…. Leave, leave Geneva every last one of you,
Saturne d'or en fer Se changera…….. Saturn from gold to iron will be changed ,
Le contre RAYPOZ exterminera tous.. The opposing RAYPOZ will exterminate all,
Auant l'a ruent le ciel Signes fera….… Before it has started the sky will show signs.

The anagrams electron ray experimentorz found in C.IX Q.44 line 3 give the verse a credibility that makes it worth noting the other anagrams that occur within it. The same line holds an anagram of exterminator that has its only occurrence here. Similarly in line 4 there are are several anagrams that are complex and occur infrequently in the text and which seem to bear upon the themes so far revealed. It holds anagrams for farseeing intellectualliser (l'a ruent le ciel Signes fera), intelligences(nt le ciel Signe ) and a natural area (Auant l'a r……era).  Their existence leaves an impression that a professional thinker such as a scientist is involved. Presented as they are here these anagrams appear to have less weight than the ones in the third line which arose by following a trail of verses containg the anagram of positron. However I would claim that by following other threads we will be drawn to these same verses and the impact of these lesser sets of words will be better appreciated. My aim here is to give the frame to the events that other verses will then flesh out.

The same is true of the first line of the verse which begins with ‘migres migre’ which is a particularly hard set of letters from which to find anagrams. There is however one powerful set that emerges and it fits with the tone of unheroic tyrants that has already been established from C.VI Q.81. The letters form ‘grim regimes (migr esmigre)’ and these two words are fairly unique to this verse. There is only this anagram of regimes in the whole text and the only other anagram of grim occurs in C.IV Q.94 which is another of the verses that mentions Lake Leman . But the lettering also allows the following anagrams to be created ‘moistures germs (estousMi gresm)’ and ‘degree ensue (redege neSue)’. The anagrams for germs and moisture/s are also rare but it is in the other verses containing them that more confirmatory detail can be anticipated.

I have updated my list of words that show the links between verses containing anagrams about future events. This list is of little use for the rarest words but for those of low occurrence it creates a roadmap for the analysis of the verses.

The period of disaster in Geneva begins in 2065CE.

A large part of my efforts over the last year has been given to understanding the dating methods used by Nostradamus. This current series allows me the chance to show the progress I have made.  In C.IX Q.44 Nostradamus left visible clues as to the date. However as they stand they are of little benefit.

C.IX Q.44 L2 Saturn from gold to iron will be changed
C.IX Q.44 L4  Before it has started the sky will show signs.      

To use these lines we need extra information and this is contained in its companion verse, C.VI Q.81. Three lines of this particular verse carry four of the six anagrams based on the roots numeral and numeric. It also contains a unique anagram for Cynosurae (L3 ansyCoeur) which is the current Polestar. Now from the emphasis given to numeration we can be confident that important information about numbers is contained in this verse. The Polestar was also found in various earlier verses of this series and was used by me to tie these events at Geneva to the period of 2000CE to 2100CE. We can conclude from the Polestar reference that the same period applies here. In my paper on the great mutations I give the evidence for this 101 year period and at the head of the paper is an image of the sky at Easter in the year 2000CE. At this time there is a great clustering of the planets in Aries. Another series of conjunctions involving each of the planets occurs late in the year 2100CE. These are the sorts of signs from the sky that Nostradamus is referring to in this verse. But in this instance the reference applies especially to Saturn and its alignment with Polaris.

I believe Saturn from gold to iron will be changed is Nostradamus’ way of nominating a particular ten year period.  The metals gold and iron are associated with the zodiac signs of Leo and Scorpio respectively and Saturn occupies any sign for about thirty months. These two regions of the sky are separated by two other signs and so to change from Leo to Scorpio takes about ten years. There are four such periods in the years from 2000CE to 2100CE commencing in 2006CE, 2036CE, 2065CE and 2095CE but only one of these fits all the settings and that is 2065CE. Each of these periods is preceded by a date some five years earlier at which our reference stars, Saturn and Polaris, are in alignment but it is only on the 8^th April 2060 there are significant signs showing at the same point in the sky. On that date Polaris ascension angle has changed to 4h 7m   while Saturn, Jupiter and Venus are located between 3h 55m and 3h 56m.  In addition Saturn is at its stationary point of a regression. On the 3^rd of May 2060CE Saturn will align exactly with the Polestar and the two other planets will still be near enough to be considered to be in conjunction.

Nostradamus’ text says these signs are before the event and this also fits as the disaster period is not in 2060CE but five years later when Saturn first enters Leo. This date is further validated by work I have done on a separate theme based around specific dates given in a number of verses. It is customary to attribute their presence to an oversight by Nostradamus but that seems highly improbable since he wasn’t working to publishing deadlines. What is notable is that the dates don’t match up to events at the specified time, however Nostradamus implies they are set to a different scale to normal. This is highly relevant to the current verse whose fourth line also carries a blemish. There is no such word as frofaim in French but analysts have given it the meaning of wheat-famine based on faim froment. Although it makes no sense in French, frofaim is perfect for a meaningful code set into English anagrams.

Sang eSpancher, frofaim a nul mercy
Cysan gespa ncherf rof aim anulmer
Async pages French for aim numeral= Async numeral aim for French pages.

Although the meaning is not immediately apparent it is precisely the outcome I uncovered when examining the verses containing dates. In earlier work on dated verses I identified that those dated 1607 make sense when Nostradamus’ instructions are obeyed. I established reasons why 458CE, the date on which an Indian astronomer published the first calendar using a cipher zero, should be used as the zero date. This adjustment led me to believe that Nostradamus saw 2065CE as highly significant. So I have arrived at a date for the Geneva events that corresponds to the one obtained using a numeral system for the French pages of Nostradamus that is out of sync with the traditional calendar.
