and his theory's... he predicted a lot that did come true ...

and still working on his theory's today ...
as to whats to come ...

some say he did write to warn people ... but they have not listened
and it is to late ... and as history keeps repeating its self ... again an again ...

there will be know change ... out of the regular peoples it is out of our control...

he was a great man I do know that that had a gift ...I wonder about his thoughts ...
and did he have fears for his own and others in the future ...

There are many books out there, and online chat/posting sites, although I haven't been to any of them or looked into the subject that much in quite a few years. I like to read those that believe and also those that debunk. If you turn up anything from Peter Lemusierier (not exactly sure of the spelling of the last name, but it's close), he neither debunks nor supports Nostradamus, but is French and has a really good knowledge of the language from back in the days when Nosty lived.

If you like that kind of stuff, you might want to do a search for Lobsang Rampa. The first site that should come up is the result for his .org site. (Not the wiki, although it has some history (quite brief) of him.)

He wrote many books, but "The Third Eye" is the most well known in metaphysical circles. It isn't like exactly like Nostradamus, but if you have that interest, you may like it, and a few subjects do intersect.

The good thing is that you don't have to read all of his books (although I did), the site is a pretty good collection of those things he wrote about. If you don't have the interest, look up Peter L from above, though. His work is the best I have seen.

After I posted that, I did a Duck search (I avoid Google) and the first site that came up was a "Beware of Peter" site. There is a lot of bad blood between believers and skeptics, and like I said, I didn't find Peter to be anti Nostradamus, but to some people, if you aren't PRO, then you are ANTI and that is pretty childish.

I put a different search term in along with his name and saw that the results (again, not Google, those might be different) mostly concerned only his last book, which I wasn't pushing or anything. The days of USENET (the original purpose for the internet) are long gone, I guess. So I don't know of any discussion groups or places where you can go and get honest discussion and exploration. If you find anything out there, it is possibly limited to "I am a full believer" vs "Nosty is fake and we hate you." I have my own opinions, so I do casual reads of information I come across, but I don't get into either of the camps of extreme views. Good luck finding the discussion you were looking for, it may still be out there, I don't know where though!

I've found to my disappointment and frustration, that pretty much all seers who are said to be accurate, are only accurate if you reinterpret what they say several times to "adjust" it to what you now think it means.

Nostradamus is more that way than most, because he wrote in "Quatrains," essentially poetry, using all sorts of alternate words and images to say whatever he was saying. Even when he does appear to have been right, the problem is, that we don't know until AFTER predicted events happen, that that was what he was talking about.

It isn't very useful to be told the future, if you still have to wait for it to arrive and pass, before you can understand the prediction.

Tuesday Lobsang Rampa was a Buddhist monk who wrote about the essence of man. He did not predict anything! !!!

Sorry if I confused the topic. It was not meant as PROPHECY, but a good site for advancement of the soul. But there are hints in there, you do need to know where to look. If you want that type of reading material, that is also a good source of information.

Nostradamus does fascinate me but I agree with Igor .. his writings are very much the subject of interpretation .

Another who claimed to see the future was baba vanga . She was a blind mystic who died over twenty years ago ., they claim her predictions todate have been 80% accurate ??? Before she died in 1996 She left predictions to the 51st century . Interesting reading .

Thanks for links nick will take a peek waving

I won't discount the ability to capture,

His writings are enigmatic and vague to the point that they can be interpreted to mean just about anything, and when his alleged predictions don't seem to jibe with reality, his followers simply retranslate his writings. Given that as a standard, it is little wonder that his "prophesies" seem to be so accurate. It has been said, with a high degree of accuracy, that Nostradomus basically did for B.S. what the Grand Canyon did for holes in the ground.

Lol wow

Maybe we didn't consider the fact that these so called quatrains are not meant to be translated word for word since they were written both in archaic french and Latin specifically to not pinpoint the event otherwise the church at the time could have hanged him for being an instrument of the devil ....duh

He doesn't hold a candle to Isaiah, Jeremiah, Zechariah, Ezekial.

What they say came (or will come) true 100%. They name names and give dates.

Notrodomus can only be understood after the fact, looking back sideways. Close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades, ya know.

I don't know enough about him to really say either way, sure I've heard of him
But as has been said, there's been many seers and shamans and such
In my family I believe we call it a flash
As in, a flash of insight
Ain't you ever had 1? I have
I don't say I can command it at will, but it just sometimes happens. And you just somehow know, what is going to happen
As for his writing being couplets or whatever they were. I think divine inspiration, can often come in this manner.
I've had that, to an extent too. Its just like raindrops, in a way . Everything seems to make a perfect sense, and it seems incredibly wise, and has great clarity, and really puts things in a nutshell.
But after a time, you wish you could just, switch it off, as it all becomes a bit sing songy, and starts to fry your head.
And let's face it, there's plenty of seers around :see_no_evil:

The interpretations of the quatrains would naturally include whatever could fit a derived description, and which is also contemporary with the interpreter, and also what is noteworthy or 'the latest thing' of the time.

Re-interpretations over the ages would bring up different solutions to the same written puzzles/riddles.

Tuesday Lobsang Rampa was a fictional character. The whole series of books involving him is fiction, I had them all, read them, and gave them away. The author was a plumber in England I think.

Predictions aren't hard if you can see a path in current events. Basically sometimes you can just see the writing on the wall years in advance. I have. But when it comes to Nostrodamous. He literally had an artistic mind imagining things and possibilities.

Just like Hollywood, does our future follow movies. Or are movies sometimes fantasies that become realities because people have imaginations. Other people like making the imagination reality.

Is prediction or is it an artistic mind strong enough to imagine the possibility putting it out there. Then another takes a look and tries. Then another jumps on board to improve what others are trying until it brings up to the Wright brothers who traveled to Kitty Hawk NC to make the first flight so on and so forth. Whether written in poetry, books, song, another language or even symbolism.
