444 years after Nostradamus
Prof Rajita Chaudhuri follow some off-beat trends like organizing make up sessions
John Hogue
Author and world authority on Nostradamus and prophetic traditions of the world
The world's perhaps best known prophet died on 2 July, four hundred and forty four years ago, yet his name is still familiar to many, and his prophecies intrigue to this day. John Hogue, author of 16 books ' his latest, 'Predictions for 2010', speaks of India's destiny ' is an authority on Nostradamus and has written two well-known books on the seer, namely 'Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies', and 'Nostradamus: A Life and Myth.' John Hogue, in an exclusive interview with TSI's Anu Gulmohar, demystifies Nostradamus, his life and his prophecies'
Is Nostradamus for real?
Nostradamus is quite real, but because he used a cryptic and nebulous form of language to convey his prophecies, he will forever be cast in the shadow of being a charlatan. He knew this would happen and said as much in his writings.
Certainly many of his 1,500-plus prophecies are obscure and open to interpretation, yet hundreds are not. You find him in 1558 describing the calendar created by French Revolutionaries in the year 1792 ' and it happened. He dates a treaty between the Ottoman Empire and Persia for October 1720 with intimate details of lands exchanged ' it happened. He described people walking on the moon, inventing radio, submarines, and ultimately leaving a world destroyed in the year 3797 to then live in the constellations of Aquarius and Cancer. You find him describing a future invasion of France "through the Forest of the Ardennes", and it happened in 1940. You find him describing a trench fortification, built by the French in their eastern frontiers with Germany to prevent such invasions from happening, which would be dissected in 15 places by rivers. Try to find such a fortification line in history dissected by water that many times and there's only one, the Maginot Line. He said it would fall to the enemy in "lightning" war strikes. The Maginot Line fell to the Nazi "Blitzkrieg" (Lightning) war strategy. I could go on and on.
The idle skeptic or browser of Nostradamus lazily seeks a brush-off of his prophecies. They are mediocrities that have fallen into his consciously set trap. The reason being, that such mediocrities, when their fragile egos are exposed, seek to crucify the mystic. Nostradamus thought it better to give such dangerous and often politically and theologically powerful fools a reason to laugh at him as a charlatan, not to be taken seriously. To those initiated, there is something else going on with Nostradamus.
Did Nostradamus predict events in his life correctly?
Yes. It is not a well known fact in popular interest in Nostradamus, but he far exceeded others who predicted contemporary events while alive, such as Edgar Cayce. In my biography on the prophet, 'Nostradamus: A Life and Myth', I detail a number of successful prophetic hits during his life time that made him ' as the archive records show ' the talk of the courts of Europe. Indeed his successful forecast of the death of his king in a jousting accident as well as naming and describing in intimate detail what later became called the Conspiracy of Amboise (a protestant attempt to overthrow the Catholic Royalty). There was also his detailed prophecy about the Siege of St. Quentin, not only named years before it happened, but the unique abandonment of one of the garrison's commanders thorough a swamp was described in detail. There were also a number of clear and constantly dated descriptions of the oncoming French Wars of Religion that made him famous and infamous in his own time, leading to his temporary persecution. He suffered a kind of calumny that gifted seers of any time do suffer. They aren't punished for being wrong, but for being too accurate. Rather than learn from accurate forecasts how one can prevent dire futures, people persecute and even kill the prophetic messenger. If it weren't for Queen Catherine de Medici's devotion to Nostradamus, he might have been arrested, tortured and burned as a heretic.
If what Nostradamus did was science then are there others who can correctly predict the future too?
Science comes from the root latin word meaning "to know." To "know" the future is to know possibilities not yet made actual. One of Nostradamus' most important empirical legacies is the evidence in his writings of alternative future timelines we can all tread. For instance, he gave his contemporary King Henry II of France two timelines in his prophecies, and no doubt explained them to the king during his first royal audience in August 1555. One would find the king killed in ritual combat ' his life and glory cut short. The other saw him unite French Catholics and Protestants and conquer northern Italy as part of France as the Second Charlemagne. Four years later, Henry's actions during a jousting tournament triggered timeline one. He died in a jousting accident, thus negating his alternative destiny. Which leads to my answer to your final question:
Is the future like a loose plan, which can be modified according to our actions today, or is it a bound script which is meant to be, no matter what'
Nostradamus often revealed how open the future can be to those aware enough to foresee the trends and incline tomorrow towards a destiny that is better by living better, and more lovingly and consciously in the eternity of the present. The present is the womb of infinite possible future's unborn.
What future would you conceive, the future you set in motion by your actions or inactions?
Let prophecy be a servant of your good karmic choices. Make good karma, all of you.
