NOSTRADAMUS-
Focus on Gnosticism
This is a part of a series in which I examine Nostradamus'
Prophecies for the names of people that are important in Nostradamus' tales. I
intend to present this series through the consistent presentation of three
aspects. This involves:
-
outlining the facts which drive my belief each
verse I choose is important,
-
highlighting the commonalities in the verses that may
reveal Nostradamus' input
-
and binding the threads between the verses that seem
important for the future.
In pursuing this goal I will continue to use only one set of
rules which are set out on my webpage titled Allan
Webber's rules for the analysis of Nostradamus' Quatrains
The
first name I present is that of Nostradamus himself as it is the one with which
I began my analysis almost twenty years ago and is of unquestionable interest. I
begin with the following verse:
C.I
Q.36.
Tard
le monarque Se viendra repentir
De
n'auoir mis a mort Son aduerSaire
Mais
viendra bien a plus hault conSentir
Que
tout Son Sang par mort fera deffaire |
Too
late the king will repent
that
he did not put his adversary to death.
But
he will soon come to agree to far greater things
which
will cause all his line to die. |
This verse's original text is as vague as are all Nostradamus' quatrains
but yet it seems to be specific with its detail of the events affecting a king's
lineage. However there is little that we can bring to bear to give
it more meaning since placement of each verse is random and there are no names,
dates or obvious ciphers which can form links to enlighten us. There is only the
verse that is able to requite our needs and I believe it does hold the means for
its own decoding. it's in permutations of the verses letters that its meaning
lies. However a vast number of permutations are possible with any lettering and
to have any meaning at all those chosen must obey a guide given by Nostradamus
in his Preface to the second edition of the Prophecies.
But
the danger of the times, O Most Serene King, requires that such secrets should
not be bared except in enigmatic sentences having, however, only one sense and
meaning and nothing ambiguous or amphibological inserted.
Nostradamus,
1558 in his Epistle to King Henry
In other words the permutation must
reduce the likelihood of their being randomly produced to the point that it is
improbable that another, more logical message could be found. This is the
basic discipline behind my rules and why I rely on them so strongly.
There are a limited number of verses in which I am
confident Nostradamus left anagrams of his own name however, unlike other
anagrams, his own name could not be left in a totally unaltered way. In these
verses he uses versions of his name Michel de Nostredame and the Latinized form
of Nostradamus with Nostradame being the most frequent anagram on which I rely (
5 occurrences) . What gives these their credibility is where they are found and with what themes they are linked.
The verses divide into three groups with each series relating to one of the great
mutations of interest to Nostradamus.
The above verse contains the anagrams for his name in the second line in the
lettering a mort son aduers. We now have the possible adversary to
the King in Nostradamus himself, who, through his links to the Queen, Catherine
de Medici, will have greater influence than otherwise on this royal families
destiny. But the prophet's name is
not the most significant thing to be found in the verse for it contains evidence
of Nostradamus interest in the destruction of the religious basis of
France. Nostradamus' work shows he held a great interest in the Gnostic views
that were arising throughout Europe. A strong representation of this view lies in the lettering of the third line where ndra bien a plus hault conSentir
Mais leads to Brand Pauline has Cult Nestorianism (ndrab
ienaplu sha ultc onSentir Mais) as a linear sequence hidden in it.
Reading from right to left this says Nestorianism cult has Pauline brand.
To those unfamiliar with these terms it may seem insignificant but it is a
statement that aptly describes the history of Gnosticism and its reliance on the Epistles of St Paul. And this is strongly connected to what is
hidden in the other verses with Nostradamus' name hidden in the lettering.
There are other
messages found in this verse that relate to this idea of an Eastern religion
hidden under the messages. These include Arabien diviners nomenclaturist and
inner contents. Many of these words are extremely rare and fulfil
my demands of rarity but are given greater strength by their clustering with
other rare words. Nomenclaturist
(one who systematically lists names) for example only occurs in this
verse and it implies Nostradamus' is involved in that practice. Nestorianism
occurs twice while Pauline and contents each
have two other occurrences which makes their appearance together all the more
unusual (inner has six other occurrences). And as we shall see
this uncommon union is woven throughout their rare appearances.
So Nostradamus shows in this
verse that he is opposed to to the King's views and aware of the failure
of the Royal lineage. At the same time he demostrates that his own task involves
placing names into verses that have a Gnostic purpose.
The reasons for
my belief in each of these verses is based on the same reasoning of the
relationship(s) between the visible text. the hidden rare anagrams and
the interconnected meaning of the words. However the strength of each
component differs for each verse as is apparent with the next one I
present where the text has a direct linkage to Nostradamus. The verse is
about the time scale over which Nostradamus Prophecies will play out.
C.I
Q.48.
Vingt
ans du regne de la lune paSSezT
Sept
mil ans autre tiendra Sa monarchie
Quand
le Soleil prendra Ses jours laSSez
Lors
accomplit et mine ma prophetie |
When
twenty years of the Moon's reign have passed
another
will take up his reign for seven thousand years
When
the exhausted Sun takes up his cycle
then
my prophecy and threats will be accomplished. |
The first line has consecutive anagrams referring to the same source as the
previous verse namely Paulean.Legend. (gne de lalune pa) thereby
supplying a powerful link to the previous verse. Paulean only occurs
in two other quatrains beside this one so it qualifies as a a rare anagram.
A large part of my confidence comes in its relevance from my
knowledge of what the other verses that hold these rare examples
contain. For example both of the other Paulean
verses contain distinctly religious anagrams but it is C.IV
Q.31 that is most prominent through its visible text and its
anagrams. And in turn the other two verses containing one of these
religious anagrams leads to a whole string of connections tying
everything back to St Paul's epistles.
The rare anagrams that make C.IV Q.39 highly interesting include PAULEAN,
Disciples, EPISTLES, Luthers, Masonic, Lucretius and Diuine-plan.
And in VII.34.4 there is both genealoguist
and epistles while IX.45.4 contains pastoralism,
priest and epistles. The Epistles of
Paul are frequently referred to as the Pauline(Paulean)
Epistles and as the Pastoralism Epistles. And The Epistle
of Timothy has much to say on Genealogy in the Bible. This is a highly
connected grouping and has no easy explanation using chance alone.
The wording of this verse focuses attention on the role of the Sun
and the Moon as time devices. It is not the only place where Nostradamus
lets us know there is something important to be understood if we are to
learn the dates in his work. As well as in his quatrains he has this
statement (and others) in his Epistle to Henry in 1558:
Anyhow I count the number of the years
from the creation of the world to the birth of Noah as
1,506 and from the birth of Noah to the completion of the Ark , at the
time of of the universal deluge, as 600 (let the years be solar or
lunar or a mixture of the ten). I hold that the Sacred
Scriptures use Solar years.... Nostradamus
1558
And the above verse is crammed with astronomical timing
references. Using sequences of rare-anagrams-anagrams (with
occurrence-count shown in brackets) the following messages can be
gleaned
PAULEAN(3).LEGEND
MANIPULATES(1).ENTIRE.DRAMAS(1).ANCHOR(7)
PROPHET(5).TIME. NAME MEANTIME(2) ORACLES(13) RETAINED.
ANIMALS(5).AS. TRUE .TIME-CIPHERS(1) HARMONIC(1)

Note: The link
given here leads to an internet site whose title is Masonic
Cipher (Royal Arch Cipher) and which describes a
simple substitution code once used to keep Masonic records hidden from
prying eyes. It is borrowed from the aik
bekar, a kabbalistic cipher. The
code is sometimes referred to as the ‘pigpen’ cipher because the
grid shape resembles an animal pen.
Of course these
sequences can be read in a different order but it won't remove the sense
of a calendar based on time-ciphers using names provided by the Prophet.
My claim that St Paul's
Epistles are a foundation for many of Nostradamus' verses draws great
strength from other quatrains. These centre on the debate on the status
of Christ which those Christians centred on Rome resolved at the Nicean
Council of 325AD. There many of Nostradamus quatrains that contain many
high order anagrams supporting this theme. Some of the verses central to
the establishment of this position hold text that makes immediate sense
once this historical context is known. Examples of this are found
in parts of the following verses. (See my paper on Nicea
for full analysis)

It is also found in the following line and this line contains some of the
most extraordinary ties to what I have presented in the verses in this section.

The lower parts of this table show some of the anagram's found
in it and their relevance is apparent and inexplicable if their is no
such them in Nostradamus. The Tetragrammaton, stands
alongside genealoguist and nomenclaturist as
perplexingly complex wording for the systematic encoding of names. (See
my paper on Nicea
for fuller analysis of the import of Tetragrammaton))
It is
clear from all of the foregoing that we are being told by Nostradamus of a
cipher system based on religious genealogy practices. This
practice leads to a specific choice of stars and thereby to the
setting of precise dates. At the same time these names will help
pinpoint the details of every story,
