- a. Introduction: _Conversations with Nostradamus_ by D.Cannon
- ===
-
- This is a compilation and consolodation of key information from the
- books in the trilogy, _Conversations with Nostradamus_ by Dolores
- Cannon. Volumes I and II are available from America West Publishers,
- P.O. Box 986, Tehachapi, CA 93581, ph (805) 822-9655. Volume III is
- available from Ozark Mountain Publishers, P.O. Box 754, Huntsville,
- AR 72740-0754. A good introduction to the overall project and
- relationship between D.Cannon, her subjects, Nostradamus, and the
- quatrains can be found in chapter 7 of I.
-
- This first version of this FAQ paraphrases the first book in her
- trilogy. Subsequent versions will incorporate material from the
- second two books. The FAQ consists mainly of paraphrases from the
- books (which are almost entirely the verbatim, directly channeled
- material from the D.Cannon subjects) with some "overview
- interpretations".
-
- I have dealt exclusively with D.Cannon's books because they appear to
- me to be the utmost authoritative reference of all accumulated
- literature on the subject and at the same time its apocalyptic
- messages beg for further exposure beyond its current semi-obscurity.
- In particular I've tried to focus on future events, the "warnings",
- the secret conspiracies, plans, and weaponry of the Cabal and the
- Antichrist, and the relationships to electronic communications
- (although the latter is covered in the second and third books of the
- trilogy, not yet incorporated into this FAQ).
-
- In this FAQ, the books of the D. Cannon trilogy are abbreviated in
- this text as "I-III" with page numbers. Quatrains are abbreviated
- "c[x]-[y]" where 'c' stands for "Century", [x] is the book, and [y]
- is the quatrain number. In some cases, particularly in the second and
- third books, Nostradmus went into a sort of "free association" mode
- where his messages were not directly related to particular quatrains,
- and in this case the page number in the trilogy alone is given. I
- have not included the quatrains themselves in this version of the
- FAQ, future versions may incorporate them directly.
-
- Disclaimer
-
- This is only a reorganization of material given elsewhere.
- I have strived to organize it into a more streamlined version than
- given in the original books. However, I strongly advise the serious
- reader to read the D.Cannon books. The major possibility for
- misinterpretation in this FAQ is in the time sequence of events,
- which Nostradamus tends to be obscure in defining, even in these new,
- direct, translations (he does not appear capable of discriminating
- the time resolution under a few years, and the dates he does give are
- given in terms of maddeningly unfocused astrological alignments). A
- significant deal of guesswork is still involved in dating the precise
- sequence of events.
-
- Redistribution
-
- I am explicitly renouncing any rights to this work. You are free to
- redistribute it in any way, in whole or in part, under no
- restrictions. I do ask that you try to retransmit it in whole form if
- possible, or at least include the entire table of contents.
-
- However, be aware that much of this FAQ is a very close paraphrase of
- the books that some may argue would border on copyright infringement.
- I personally think the data is far to important to be subject to
- petty feuds about ownership and that the whole idea is contrary to
- intellectual freedom (and I intend that the ultimate effect be that
- far more people are exposed to her works than would have otherwise
- occured, and that this will lead to greater sales and distribution of
- them). But on the other hand I condemn anyone who redistributes this
- FAQ with the sole intent of alone profiting from my own intense work
- on it. Let your conscience be your guide, email me if you have
- doubts, and if you don't have a conscience, we'll both be far better
- off if I *don't* hear from you.
-
- My Note to Enemies
-
- Just as D. Cannon wrote that she fully expected to be accused of
- perpetuating a massive hoax, and actually published the books at
- great personal risk under her real name, I fully expect to be subject
- to vicious attacks for this "exercise in conscience". I have
- absolutely no use for closeminded, ignorant people jamming my mailbox
- with naive and uninformed vitriol. However, if you must have an
- outlet, feel free to post it to alt.prophecies.nostradamus, and
- everyone else will feel free to ignore you.
-
- I expect to see many variations of veiled or direct attacks on these
- predictions. However, those that most upset me are by people who
- consider themselves "skeptics" or of "scientific" background. Many
- would argue that the burden of proof is on D.Cannon and others
- (such as myself) who promote the material to defend it. This is
- certainly true to a point, but I think the idea that skepticism
- is at the core of science is somewhat erroneous.
-
- The essence of science to me is skeptical *inquiry*, not mere
- skepticism. The skepticism is the conservative aspect of science, and
- the inquiry is the enthusiastic, passionate, exploratory phase. There
- cannot be true progress unless the two are in harmony. With only pure
- skepticism, one becomes paralyzed from further progress. With only
- enthusiasm, one becomes overly gullible and credulous. So to those of
- you who challenge these predictions on scientific grounds, I
- challenge you to explore them before you dismiss them, to at least
- read the books and build an informed opinion that is not based on a
- merely vacuous "knee jerk".
-
- A famous quotation by Newton on his deathbed went along the lines,
- "All my life I have felt as if I have been exploring a shore and
- looking at a few pretty shells here and there, while the whole ocean
- of truth lay undiscovered before me." Arrogant scientists may
- disagree, but I think Newton was right on. I believe that those who
- think that science in its present state has largely conquered
- reality, with a few uncooperative islands of the unexplained
- remaining, are mistaken. To the contrary, in my opinion, our science
- has mastered only tiny pockets of truth in a vast landscape, and
- Nostradamus' capabilities and predictions are (or will be)
- bone-jarring evidence of our astonishing overall ignorance of the
- universe.
-
- b. Nostradamus and his "quatrains"
- ===
-
- Nostradamus was a physician and prophet of the 16th century living in
- France at the time of the Inquisition. He was recognized as a
- brilliant physician who knew effective measures against the plague
- victims of the time, a rarity in his profession. Nostradamus as a
- seer wrote about 946 "quatrains", or four line poems, about his
- visions collected over his lifetime. The quatrains are enveloped in
- deeply obscure, twisted, nested symbolism and encryptions (such as
- anagrams, different languages, etc.) that is virtually impossible to
- untangle by a casual observer. Perhaps the greatest difficulty was
- that he intentionally scrambled them in terms of their historical
- order. For an excellent biography of Nostradamus see ch. 30 of II,
- "Research into Nostradamus' Life". Other glimpses of his life are
- especially prevalent in II.
-
- Quatrains I have found particularly evocative and masterful in
- symbolism and interpretation, and serve as examples of Nostradamus'
- intents and talents, are I p 140, cIII-13, microchips and
- electricity, cIV-29, p 283, the dichotomy of technology vs.
- spirituality in the 20th century, and cII-75, I p 257, a plane lands
- on the deck of an aircraft carrier in a pivotal moment of WWWIII.
-
- c. How did Nostradamus do it?
- ===
-
- The D.Cannon books I-III contain a great deal of information on
- Nostradamus' techniques, which came from a variety of sources. First,
- he acknowledges he was born with an inner "sixth sense", i.e. a
- strong intuition and great psychic abilities. Secondly he had
- enormous drive to develop it. His grandfather apparently passed him
- books on witchcraft that allowed him to experiment with some rituals.
- He also had access to "lost" manuscripts handed down outside of the
- libraries of the time. He talks about guides from the astral plane
- and from other worlds who helped him. Some pointed him in the
- direction of esoteric plant recipes and mind-enhancing drugs (but he
- emphasized they only enhanced his powers and were not the source of
- them). One apparently bestowed on him a mirror during one of his
- meditations. The mirror was especially important to his predictions.
-
- Nostradamus also talked of using different crystals to focus on
- various telepathic frequencies. Occasionally he refers to staring at
- fire or water (such as in a bowl on a tripod) as a way of focusing
- his mind. He had access to some lost works of mysticism from his
- travels (apparently to some Moslem lands). He communicated with other
- expert astrologers and mystical teachers. However it is possible that
- some of his notes about and explanations of his techniques were a
- means of throwing the Inquisition off track.
-
- One of the most amazing possibilities explored in various places in
- the D.Cannon books was that in a sort of "twist of time" Nostradamus
- was tapping into the subconscious of the people from the future who
- contacted him. D.Cannon talks about this in the introduction of II.
-
- Some have wondered about Nostradamus' healing capabilities. He talks
- about a sort of holistic approach to health and reveals that he was
- skillful in avoiding the shock that was induced in many patients of
- surgeons at the time using psychic approaches. He talked about the
- importance of the "aura" of the person in determining the health of
- the patient and criticized the practice of treating symptoms. He said
- that a patient will find some other way to make themselves sick if
- their critical mental attitude is awry. He talked about cancer being
- caused by deeply ingrained self-sabotaging thoughts. Nostradamus also
- confirmed what many have speculated, that he was able to see future
- approaches to treating the diseases he encountered (such as the
- plague) and adopt key aspects of the techniques.
-
- d. D.Cannon & regression hypnosis
-
- Dolores Cannon is a regression hypnotist, meaning that she uses
- hypnotism as a technique for past-life regressions wherein the
- subject can recall details from an earlier incarnation on the earth
- plane. One of her subjects recalled a past life as a student of
- Nostradamus and helped interpret his quatrains. Through the student,
- Nostradamus gave D.Cannon the task of translating the quatrains into
- modern language free of the convoluted symbolism he wrapped them in
- to avoid persecution under the Inquisition.
-
- For the books, she used multiple subjects as channels, giving them a
- first name pseudonym in the books. "Elena" was the first subject
- through whom contact was made; she was Nostradamus' student Dionysis
- in the past life. See the early chapters of I.
-
- "I have never been in doubt that I am truly in contact with the
- physical Nostradamus while he is alive in his lifetiem in France
- during the 1500s." (I p117)
-
- D. Cannon has written other books, _Keepers of the Garden_, _A
- Conversation with a Spirit_, _A Soul Remembers Hiroshima_, and _Jesus
- and the Essenes_.
-
-
- e. "Simultaneous Time"
- ===
-
- "Simultaneous time" is a difficult concept that refers to the illusion
- of earthly time seen from higher spiritual planes. Between lives, the
- soul has the capability to review lifetimes free of the constraints
- of time. This state of consciousness is also achieved in
- hypnoregression subjects who are highly "sonambulistic", i.e.
- conducive to deep trance states. They can review not only past
- lifetimes but future ones. But beyond this, it is as if they are
- actually living them at the moment they describe them. So, for
- example, the student of Nostradamus that D.Cannon regressed would
- see herself and Nostradamus as actually living, and Nostradamus would
- be communicating directly from his own time to ours as a living
- person. D.Cannon describes this subject in ch.2 of II.
-
-
- f. Ways to view Nostradamus and the prophecies
- ===
-
- One can view the interpretations "channelled" by the D.Cannon subjects
- as the actual pronouncements of a living Nostradamus during his time,
- sent to us via circumstances bordering on the miraculous, as a
- channelling of Nostradamus from the afterlife (although the
- "Nostradamus" personality in the books insists this is definitely not
- the case) or merely as a new interpretation of his quatrain from
- "some source" (for a skeptic the "source" might be the "imagination
- of subject's subconscious"). Either way the interpretations given by
- D.Cannon are the most clear and striking of all available in the
- literature, and the least permeated with confused speculation.
-
- A scathing work of criticism and ridicule has been levelled at
- Nostradamus by the famous "debunker", James Randi. Nevertheless,
- buried in the unparalleled closemindedness and vitriol, Randi makes
- some reasonable points, the most damning of which, reiterated by the
- skeptics through the centuries, is that Nostradamus' "predictions"
- are veiled in such obscure symbolism that they could mean anything,
- and that interpretations are impossible in the absence of precision
- in language. He has a very valid point.
-
- But the works of D.Cannon give us a renewed, fresh perspective into
- the matter. Not only are the past predictions laid bare, but so are
- all the future ones. These books give a very *precise* vision of the
- future, with a rigor bordering on the quality of even scientific
- papers (which themselves contain speculation and a lack of confidence
- and absolute specificity at times). Perhaps the skeptics can argue
- that the "fulfillment" of all his prior prophecies were merely due to
- the creative interpretations or vivid imaginations of enthusiastic
- supporters. But they will not be able to deny the reality of these
- explicit visions as (or "if", as the case may be) it unfolds before
- them.
-
- If one takes the D.Cannon books as truly channeling Nostradamus, the
- ultimate measure of Nostradamus' true talents will be revealed
- shortly for us all to personally witness and attest to the presence
- or lack thereof. And even if one ignores the Nostradamus aspect,
- leaving aside for a moment the question of the "source" of the
- predictions, the D.Cannon books contain a treasure trove of specific,
- "falsifiable" predictions about our near future. Here is something
- that is not buried in mysticism or obscurity and is open to any one
- who has an open mind.
-
-
- g. Free will vs. Fatalism
- ===
-
- Nostradamus' preponderance of bleak and horrid prophecies sometimes
- have the effect of causing people to adopt an attitude of resigned
- nihilism or fatalism. "What's the use?" But this is precisely the
- mental attitude that he was fervently attacking. The earth
- history-flow has a kind of "inertia" that he learned to read through
- his highly refined and developed mental concentration. If we continue
- on our present path, i.e. the "course of least resistance", the worst
- of the horrible, apocaplyptic visions will be realized. But through
- focused thought and determination the most severe scenarios can be
- avoided.
-
- In the D.Cannon book Nostradamus repeatedly emphasizes the urgency of
- his mission and his frustration with man's apathy in the face of his
- predictions. In one channeling, the subject said that "his psychic
- abilities are so profound and developed that had he lived in other
- times he might have been revered almost as a God, but in the
- Inquisition his talent was wasted." Nostradamus was something like a
- psychoanalyst for the entire human race, and was quite frustrated
- with his patient's continual tendency to sabotage and destroy
- himself in spite of the doctor's--literally--divinely inspired
- advice.
-
- Another interesting theme is that Nostradamus, in II, seems to
- indicate that the Antichrist is the embodiment of all evil in mankind
- since the time of creation. In other words, our own evil thoughts and
- deeds contribute indirectly and directly to the terrible crescendo
- his horrible nature. The grisly earthly drama with him in the
- starring role, foretold for centuries as far back as the Old
- Testament of the Bible, is actually a lesson of the highest order for
- us to clean our own mental and bodily temples of the encrusted
- pollution of ages. The awesome power of our own thoughts will
- confront us face to face. Just as the atrocities and genocide that
- Hitler perpetrated under the name of the Reich are the logical
- conclusion of insane fascism, racism, intolerance, and imperialism,
- the shrieking crescendo of WWWIII is the embodiment of all our hidden
- and concealed crimes against our fellow humans.
-
- I would like to bring out an example of the importance and
- interpretation that should be attributed to Nostradamus' prophecies.
- In I p 141 (cVI-34) he correctly foresees the Challenger shuttle
- disaster. But in his interpretation, he also indicates that NASA
- would coverup the source of failure and not reveal it to the general
- public. This arguably occurred, but because of the dynamic efforts of
- one man in particular *outside* of NASA, the truth of the disaster
- has probably in fact been revealed.
-
- The man is the eminent physicist Richard Feynman, who wrote about his
- experience on the Challenger investigation committee in his book,
- "What do you care what other people think, Mr. Feynman?" Throughout
- his great work one can see very directly the efforts of NASA
- administrators to put up a smokescreen to the public and defy his
- determined, heroic efforts to find the truth. Did he indeed thwart
- one of Nostradamus' many uncanny and depressing predictions? Can this
- be regarded as a case of the power of an individual to defy the
- smothering inertia of foretold negativity? Of the power of each one
- of use to untangle and defy secret conspiracies, and those who derive
- their power through the concealment of truth, and greedily, madly
- clutch it?
-
- Nostradamus refers to many different dark secrets of our times,
- ranging from the Cabal that manipulates the world economy and
- military conflicts to the unspeakably horrible secret military weapon
- researches. Are we to assert that we have no influence over those who
- attempt to conceal truth from us? Or would the world be a far better
- place if we all had the dogged determination and curiosity that
- Feynman embodied? The courage to defy and transcend people who say
- "you don't know what you're doing and you have no place in this
- matter"? Or not be bludgeoned into silent submission by keywords
- like "matter of national security"? as our governments develop the
- most grisly weapons of destruction ever conceived in the history of
- (in)humanity?
-
- Nostradamus' underlying, "golden" message is that every individual
- contributes to the flow of history, that free will exists and can
- avert disaster through sensible use--but apathy is perhaps the most
- negative and lethal contribution of all.
-
- -- I. p 66
-
- "There is free will. He wants you to know about them so the worse
- effects can be avoided."
-
- -- I. p 57
-
- "Do not feel that civilization as we know it--or to be more
- correct--as you know it, has a hopeless future. He says that with the
- ability to understand what can happen with a planet and to have new
- awareness within yourselves, that could always change the event of
- things."
-
- "Even a shift in the axis?"
-
- "Yes."
-
- -- From the jacket of I, D.Cannon:
-
- "Nostradamus believed, as I do, in the theory of `probable futures',
- of nexus on the lines of time with many possible courses branching
- off in all directions. He believed that if man had the knowledge he
- could see which time line his future was headed down and reverse it
- before it was too late."
-
-
- h. FAQ Compiler's note
- ===
-
- What is my motivation for writing this "FAQ"? In short I find these
- books absolutely mesmerizing. They have opened up whole new
- exhilarating research avenues for me, and I have seen deeply
- receptive curiosity to the ideas out in cyberspace. However, the
- books, from the perspective of pure prophecy, have exceedingly
- scattered organization and superfluous and irrelevant detail and are
- in desperate need of further editing, condensing, cross reference,
- and interpretation. (This is not to criticize the fantastic trilogy
- as it is intended, i.e., in addition to imparting the formal
- interpretations, to paint the fascinating, shining,
- previously-unknown personality and life of Nostradamus.)
-
- But more generally I believe Nostradamus stands above humanity as a
- man of the highest calibre and integrity. His sheer *gift* for
- prophecy is repeatedly reinforced by the occurence of truly foretold
- events as unparalled in history. I want to help spread the brilliant
- light of his prophecies into our tumultuous, critical era of "The
- Shift".
-
- The elements that most disturbed me of Nostradamus' prophecies were
- the predictions of an apocalypse for civilization. Like most people,
- I generally think we live in a great society unparalleled in
- history. What is the future of cyberspace if the entire world and its
- current massive communications infrastructures will be devastated?
-
- The predictions that related the Antichrist's mad massacres for world
- power as involving the manipulation and debasement of international
- communications networks utterly stunned me. But it fit in with my
- beliefs that we are forging these vast electronic networks with very
- little concentrated thought, planning, or understanding, with no
- concept of the vast power of the psychic energies we are tinkering
- with and unleashing, like an uncontained and uncontrolled explosion,
- and that Murphy's law that "if anything can go wrong it will" could
- apply on a cataclysmic global scale. But the most psyche-shattering
- revelation in these books for me, that the biblical Beast alluded to
- is referring to *computers*, above all else has convinced me of the
- absolutely cosmic significance of Nostradamus' prophecies and the
- cut-to-the-bone relevance to *our* times, *now*. (See II, chapter 14:
- "666: the Secret Number of the Beast").
-
- Finally, Nostradamus seems to allude to a sort of future Inquisition
- and period of martial law during which materials conflicting with
- the Antichrist's philosophy and agenda of world conquest will be
- suppressed. So I am "seizing the moment" and consolodating a large
- amount of material for maximum distribution in a short amount of
- time while cyberspace is still healthy, innocent, robust, and
- unadulterated. I encourage you to help redistribute this document as
- widely as possible in any form in any forum or medium. I also
- encourage you to buy D.Cannon's trilogy for the ultimate reference, a
- sort of "Handbook for the Global Apocalypse".
-
- Above all, I hope that you will help play a positive role in the
- cosmic drama that is unfolding before us. Will you be "another brick
- in the wall" of the Antichrist? Or will you help to bring a new era
- of peace, prosperity, and spiritual advancement to yourself and your
- fellow man? Nostradamus emphasized that we still have free will, that
- his prophecies are only based on a sort of "momentum" that the world
- course is taking and that can be reversed by the awesome force of
- personal, conscious, thoughtful, focused, virtuous choices and
- actions.
