Friends,
Yesterday was the ninth anniversary of the start of the US war in Afghanistan. It was a SAD day. That is, it was a day when CIA “teams” otherwise called members of the Special Activities Division (SAD) were airlifted and air dropped with units of the US Army 5th Special Forces Group to begin combat operations. With the ensuing years in my mind of ever more farcical strategic entanglements in a land noted for destroying empires (the Soviets being the last victim), my thoughts on this anniversary stray towards Nostradamus’ third and final antichrist, code named Mabus, and a war that has in my opinion become a strategic comic tragedy.

One of the candidates for Mabus was the man specifically sought by CIA and US Army Special Forces on 7 October 2001 that triggered the war, which has so far killed around 30,000 Taliban insurgents as well as erased from life 2,053 Coalition soldiers (1,245-and-counting being Americans) and wounded 12,523. The man, Usama bin Laden, and his al-Qaeda organization were the targets yet they are still at large. Moreover, nearly 119,819 coalition troops occupy and fight 93,000 Afghan Taliban while Usama bin Laden and his terrorists remain absent from Afghanist. The war goes on in a land he evacuated nine years ago that today has at best a handful of al-Qaeda fighters in-country.

A letter I received from “Dan” reminds me that we ought to apply a rare Medieval colloquial meaning to the 16th-century word Nostradamus uses to clue us into many of his quatrains about his third and final Antichrist, temporally slated to be among us today. The word is “terror” (effrayeur in Renaissance French). I’m assuming Dan thinks it is deffrayeur, which means to amuse, to divert.

DAN
“Un grand Roye d’effrayeur” means: “a great king of comedy”
“descendra des nuages” means: “will descend from the clouds”

HOGUE
Dan, you cite Century 10 Quatrain 72 as one example but your memory of the original French is wrong.

The line should read:

Du ciel viendra vn grand Roy d’effrayeur.

(From the sky will come a great King of terror.)

The inference popularly regarded these days is that Nostradamus visualized a great terror attack coming out of the skies, such as what happened on 11 September 2001 when Usama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda terrorist organization successfully hijacked airliners and piloted them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The fourth airliner set to collapse the US Capitol dome crashed in a field outside of Pittsburgh, PA.

The prophecy’s first line says:

L’an mil neuf cens nonante neuf sept mois

(In the year 1999 Sept[ember] month.)

It is believed now that Sept stands for September and that the ones and nines should be read switched around in Nostradamus’ dating of the event:

In the year 9.11.1 September month.

Now that we have corrected Dan’s mistake let’s return to his belief that effrayeur had an old French meaning for a crazy fou, a cantankerous railleur, or a bouffon (all the usual labels for a court jester). Perhaps he is mistaking d’effrayeur as a word play for deffrayeur. Today I’d be willing to fly with the remote possibility of a double entendre — that a terror can also clown around with the Antichrist clues — in d’effrayeur. Interpretations ought to remain fluid enough to shine further light on this prophetic mystery story. I have not found a correlation in old French using effrayeur as a label for a frightening court jester. Clowns can be terrifying. Can Dan or any other Moyen français francofiles verify his theory below? What novels or other examples in 16th-century French literature cite effrayeur as a title for a clown?

DAN

The word effrayeur is an old now obscure word. He was a member of the traveling clown troubadour groups that eventually became circuses. The “effrayeur” literally was a character derived from the court jester and dressed rather oddly went around frightening people. The “effrayeur” could be bought or paid to frighten even intimidate specific individuals on an on going basis. There are novels written from that period that use that as the theme.

Not the King of terrors. The third anti-Christ might even be considered crazy by some because of some of the claims that he makes about religion. There are several quatrains that deal with a religious reformer by Nostradamus who will challenge the authority of the Vatican. When can this character be expected to arrive? Or has he and no one noticed?

HOGUE
The crazy factor of the antichrists is implied between the lines of Nostradamus’ prophetic account of the First Antichrist (Napaluon-Napoleon). Ambition drove him too far East. His armies “die in the white country” of Russia in 1812.

The next buffoon of doom called Hister is second Antichrist Adolf Hitler. Where to begin about listing the crazy crack-brained stratagems of this Hitlerian harlequin?

Who is the greater foolish Antichrist? The fool Napoleon who invaded Russia or the fool who followed him invading the same place 129 years later on nearly the same anniversary in 1941? The Germans freeze their wiener schnitzels worse than the Frenchmen froze their baguettes in the snows of Russia before Moscow.

After Hister there is one more effrayer-rant Scarmouch to Bozo the future. His code name is Mabus.

I wrote at length in my book about the Mabus code Nostradamus used to link prophecies by key words. For instance, effrayeur connects several quatrains purposefully scattered out of order throughout the quatrains of Nostradamus to protect them from easy understanding by candidates for antichrists who might want to change their forecasted ill fortunes. They were snooping around, you know.

It is believed that Emperor Napoleon received prophecy consultations from Egyptian books of fate and Empress Josephine’s reading of Nostradamus. Hitler’s propaganda minister Goebbels openly used Nostradamus’ prophecies in acts of psychological warfare against the French and English.

Best to scatter a larger prophecy in four-line quatrains to make the fishing job of Antichrists and their publicists harder. Good seekers are given clues. Nostradamus repeats certain words as possible links to other quatrains enlarging the prophecy. Gather those quatrains together with effrayeur written in them and you might fit quatrain pieces of a puzzle depicting a full prophecy about the third and final antichrist. (See Nostradamus antichrist and view those quatrains and my complete interpretation.)

Nostradamus loved puns and double entendre. I think it is possible he would us to apply the obscure and arcane Moyen Français meaning of d’effrayeur, if indeed there is one. Certainly using an apostrophe to hide deffrayeur is even more likely. It might allude to this King of terror being the third and ultimate psychotic prankster of the three.

An old French meaning for terrorist-clown-jester may allude indirectly to a 9/11 conspiracy overlooked. The Bush administration in August 2001 had actionable intelligence on an imminent attack by al-Qaeda on the American homeland. Some would say the attack the following month was a conspiracy of omission rather than the more popular scenario implicating the Bush administration fabricating a false flag-waving fraud attack on the USA to silence opposition in Congress and gain complete influence over the country under attack.

Beyond all the whys, hows, howls and wherefores promoted by the conspiracy-by-commission buffs, there is one simple reality that makes the fantastic tale of twin towers being wired with explosives, hit by remote control jets, etc., little more than the muttering brass cackles of clown horns honking in the dark. Consider a simple fact lying underneath all the phantasms of innuendo thrown into this conspiracy theory and see it for what it is: built on a foundation made of banana peels that even a zany droll trucking in on bizarrely huge shoes would slip upon, landing his big polka-dotted butt in a pratfall.

What lies underneath and supports this conspiracy is an assumed faith in the Bush Administration having the competence to pull it off. (honk-honk! Woo wooooo!)

Let’s calm down folks and remember: G.W. Bush of all people, President “bedtime for Bonzo” Bush, had to pull off this complicated conspiracy theory.

Now anyone who had read a series of evolving Neo-Conservative manifestos written in the 1990s by future key members of the Bush cabinet, such as Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz and Vice President Dick Cheney, has seen these papers explain the need for a “Pearl Harbor” event to gain the political control needed to rapidly advance their agenda. You can read more about the evolution of the Neo-Con manifesto from 1992 through 2000 in my book on Nostradamus’ prophecies about a future US war with Iran. (Click on Nostradamus Iran Prediction.)

Upon reading the transcripts I could detect a movement thinking out loud and in public as Mein Kampf spelling out Hitler’s aspirations and schemes for political domination. The Neo-Cons needed a surprise terror attack on America that they could connect to two rogue nations that they believed replaced the fallen Soviet Union as the new threats to world stability and US hegemony. Rogue regimes in Iran and Iraq had to go, with consent of allies or by unilateral action if need be, because they threatened the disruption of precious oil imports the West and primarily the United States needed to sustain its role as a world dominant economy and unilateral global neo-Con cop.

Speaking once again of clowns and Antichrists, only a clown would resort to fabricating an elaborate false flag conspiracy rather than look the other way enabling another willing, fool effrayeur like Usama bin Laden to attack the United States. In August 2001, the Bush cabinet met at the president’s Crawford Texas dude ranch for the first of eight, lost and lazy month-long summer vacations in Bush’s two terms in office. The cabinet members had the reports spread on the Crawford Ranch coffee table about Usama bin Laden’s intent to attack and soon. They seemed to shrug it off. Is this testimony to their ineptitude or evidence of intent?

I do not rule out the former, but if the latter was the case, they knew Usama the Mournful Muslim Clown’s al-Qaeda organization’s power to hurt the country was limited. Al-Qaeda is no nuclear Soviet superpower. Damage sustained from a privateer Saudi terror cell would be sustainable — necessary even — to gain the political capital. Even President Obama, nearly a decade later, confessed to reporter Bob Woodward that the United States could “absorb” another al-Qaeda attack.

Thus, essays published by Neo-conservatives a month before G.W. Bush had his first debate with Al Gore in the 2000 presidential campaign openly addressed the advantages of a Pearl Harbor moment. It could be strategically achieved at relatively low cost giving Neo-Conservatism carte blanche to effect strategic domestic and international policy change as the emergency silenced all dissent while the nation rallied around their president. The people at home and in Congress in a state of national trauma would accept any Axis of Bush’s evil effrayeur suppositions mostly unproven as a righteous excuse to take down Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi dictatorship and perhaps even settle the score and overthrow the longtime US enemy Ayatollah regime in Iran.

In short, you do not have to fabricate a conspiracy to attack, you piggy-back and exploit someone else’s conspiracy. Remote control jets? Wire twin towers with explosives whilst keeping all those months of wall gutting construction secret from the 50,000 people coming in and out of each tower every day? I mean, come on? You’re the “Bush” administration. There’s limits to what you Keystone Cops can pull off. Why sweat it? Let the Hajj harlequin, the Lawrence-bin-Laden of Arabia do it. He’s willing to attack America on his own accord, on his own coin. He needed no prompting. He was the real deal. Bin Laden handed Bush and the Neo-Conservatives this dark comedy cloddishly called “The War on Terror”. Moreover, when Laden of Arabia and his best terror troops were surrounded up in the Tora Bora Mountains in Afghanistan, isn’t it interesting how easy it was for them to pass over into Pakistan.

Was the US 10th Mountain Division blocking the passes? Noooo! Some Pashtun clowns paid off by CIA operatives the week before to abandon supporting al-Qaeda, waited for bin Laden’s boys to saunter through throwing a higher bribe on the Afghan carpeted tent floor. Let those clowns go, thanks very much, into Pakistan where they are based and blowing things up in Afghanistan “and” Pakistan to this very day over nine years later.

It seems like the Neo-Clown-servatives in the White House circus needed bin Laden’s jihadist pantaloons in Pakistan and open for funny business so the White House Harlequins could start painting the war on terror in yahoo colors for a generation. The war was only a few days old after 9/11 and Bush already declared it would last for 30 years of more. How did he know that?

The Neo-Cons got their Effrayeur the Clown with bin Laden set loose into Pakistan.

I mean, history will show that there were a number of real dolts running the country during the Bush era performing the French medieval pantomime even Nostradamus might have suggested by using effrayeur playing the clown that goes “boo!” Usama the Clown wasn’t a big enough boogie Effrayeur. Let’s shock and awe Saddam Hussein who had nothing to do with 9/11 terror attacks but was sitting on the second largest oil reserve in the Middle East.

Oops! “Honk, honk.” They strung that clown up and someone else got the lucrative oil drilling deals, how silly. That’s a Bozo no-no.

Back to bogey man #1: bin Laden. And I just don’t know “Jack” about when that al-Qaeda clown boxed in Pakistan will pop out again. “Hoot! Hoot!” So color my alerts!

It seems the Effrayeur clown the Neo-Cons sustained in performance the longest was Bonzo-Bush the Clown. Scare the kiddies for fun you rascally effrayeur, you! A collage of fear mongering clown colors punctuated the presidential election year of 2004. Day glow “yellow” and orange “orange” alerts flashed like a jester’s nose whenever the president’s poll numbers dipped and presidential candidate Kerry the Clown’s numbers rose faster than a swift boat winched out of a South Vietnamese bog. The buffoon in the White House overdid his overblown and “ill” Pagliacci posturing with red bulbous nose-Fox-flashing network fear alarms. Even the lefty Cable Clown News Network (CNN) with Blitzer the Clown enabled a White House scare prank.

It was this successful three-ring circus of two three-lettered cable news networks flashing alerts on the public that in part kept the Dumbopublican Neo-Con regime in office. It would take another lost August vacate-tion at Crawford Texas convened the following year to break the spell over the land cast by Bush-the-wagin’-War-on-Terror Clown when yellow and orange alerts all came up Brown. Michael D. Brown to be exact. He was that horse-race organizer-turned-FEMA director who butterfingered the errant of mercy to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina in the autumn of 2005.

Honk! Honk! “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job!” Honk!

(Oh! Go sit on that whoopee cushion, Mr. President.)

There are a number of modern-day “terrorizer clowns” who it just so happens find their names easily decoded in Nostradamus’ anagram for the name of his third and final Antichrist: Mabus. All the candidates are entwined in a showdown in the Middle East as opposing combatants.

A number of Usama bin Laden’s terrorist nicknames and handles letter crunch into Mabus. The most obvious of which is the correct phonetic spelling of his first name:

Usama = maaus

Drop the redundant “a” with the one letter allowed as replacement in Nostradamus’ rules of anagramming with the missing letter “b” and you get:

Usama = ma(a)us = Mabus

Now to the next clown in this war of terrible Bozos:

Take the “m” and “a” of Mabus. Turn them upside down to get “w” “g”. Switch these letters around to get “g” “w”. That leaves you “bus” for “Mabus”. Add the missing “h” and pop goes the weasel.

That leads us finally to the clown that sent more US troops into Afghanistan to fight the Taliban, who never attacked his country or held aspirations to do so. This clown-in-chief is an ally of the Pakistani regime that protects and harbors the al-Qaeda Punch and Judys who did attack America. This new American clown-in-chief will not directly attack al-Qaeda in Pakistan while Pakistan makes a useless show of engaging them with one hand and with the other hand gives money and support to the Taliban to fight Americans in Afghanistan who never attacked America.

Does this sound like a new low in US Bozo-diplomacy to you?

How does one spell that clown’s name out of Mabus?

Mabus = ubams = oubams = obams

Replace one letter with the missing letter and you get “Obama” the Clown in the circus called “Vietnamistan.”

Learn more about the future of this clown story in fulfilled predictions for 2010.

Any of these three clowns may be terrible Mabus, or perhaps all three Bozos are some kind of composite clown fashioned out of Nostradamus’ confusion when reading our present days.

The Afghanis-stand-up comedy of errors to come will whistle up and whoopee cushion announce history’s verdict judging who is the real Mabus-Jester.

(08 October 2010)

Anger must be expressed and released so that this poison is purged from the soul and clear headed solutions and clear heartfelt compassion can resist, reform and revolute this nation. So, with that said, forgive my presentation of this very angry letter from “Chris.” I will answer it in detail to explain why anger needs expression, but not as the engine of this revolution to come. Otherwise, with violent anger as the engine of the masses, the future will be awash in blood. This kind of revolution will lead ultimately to a dictatorship in America. This land has another destiny in the Aquarian Age: to be the cradle of a new and worldwide religiousness of a new and enlightened humanity.

Before demon-anger can transmute to divine understanding, let us examine a frustrated and volatile point of view many Americans share with Chris:

CHRIS
Live long and prosper, Joe Stack

HOGUE
Joe Stack will do neither. Perhaps it is true that we take with us beyond this veil of life what we identify with. As most of our identifications are unconscious, they lead us like a magnet to a new birth into this misery-go-round Wheel of Samsara (wheel of unconscious life). In other words, if you live a slave of your anger, it will launch you into a new and miserable life framed by that anger. That is my sense of what happens as one who has faced death three times and possibly has had a glimpse of the other side.

I have come back from those experiences motivated to understand and thus transcend my attachments. Otherwise, I will return to my own soap opera, life after life. I know the fires of profound anger. Joe Stack was so completely identified with this anger that he committed an insane act of violence and now dwells between lives in the hell of his own making.

He is in limbo in the lower astral right now with only his anger and insanity as comfort. And remorse his only friend. Remorse for what he did to the gift of life given by existence and the gift of freely ending life that he perverted. In the future, a more evolved humanity chooses when to leave life. Only when life is beautiful and fully lived can a human being come to the pinnacle of life, which is death, and chose that path. That freedom will be an inalienable right in the society of the new humanity coming. However in that free and responsible future, no one has the right to maim or take anyone else’s life when you check out.

If Joe Stack had had enough, fine. Yet, Joe Stack burned innocent people and killed at least one person. I sense that he feels remorse for that now, and remorse for the wife and daughter he traumatized and left behind homeless by his own hand, burning down their house.

CHRIS
Joe is 100% correct. For all of my adult working life (40yrs) our self-serving scumbag politicians have benifitted more from the fruits of my labor than I did. Violence and revolt ARE the only answers.

The government is an expression of us. We are responsible for the government and politicians we elect. Even if you do not vote, you are allowing others to usurp their power by vote over you. The government is symptomatic of the collective health of a democratic society. The American Democracy at this time is adrift and ailing. Making the IRS or any other government body your boogey man is throwing the responsibility away from the source of the problem.

You are all the problem, American people. You have the government you deserve right now. Change your consciousness and you will vote wiser governance in the future.

The Bolsheviks, Castro and his guerillas, Robespierre with his guillotine, agree with you, Chris. Violence and revolt are the only answers. Look what they gave us? An orgy of mass mob violence, the Great Red terror of Lenin and Stalin that killed 30 million people, the Great Terror of the guillotine that beheaded tens of thousands in revolutionary France. In the end, most of those executed were the revolutionaries who let slip the whirlwind, Joe Stack style. Violence as an end-all only consumes all that is good in the revolution as well as what it intended to overthrow.

Once this mayhem-mass mind has exhausted itself, do you think people like you, Chris, will be running the new America? Violent revolution will devour you as well as it did Robespierre, Trotsky and Kirov, even the ailing Lenin — who Stalin poisoned. The Stalins, the Castros, the Napoleons and the Hitlers step into the bloody void your mindless anger creates.

In Alexander Soljenitsin‘s Gulag Archipelago, he described a club of revolutionaries who wrote just like Joe Stack and you, Chris. They were believers in anarchic violence as the alpha and omega of answers to their grievances. They were thought to be even more radical than the Bolshevik Party and a greater threat to the Kerensky controlled Duma (Parliament) that took over Russia from the Czar in February 1917. When the Bolsheviks took down the Kerensky government in their October Revolution of 1917, guess who were the first people lined up against a wall and shot? That club of revolutionaries. That is what will happen to the future “Joe Stacks” if mad rage guides the next American Revolution.

CHRIS
And another thing, this country is literally crumbling around us. The federal gov’t should be creating jobs to rebuild our bridges, roads, tunnels, dams and sewer systems. Its a crock of bullshit that there are not enough jobs to go around.

HOGUE
I would not disagree with any of what you said here. These are the problems and our elected officials are not listening to us.

CHRIS
GW [Bush] has pretty much brought us all to our knees, and this new Obama-nation is following in his footsteps.

HOGUE
Yes. Obama is. I am aware many of you reading this don’t like to hear that. I warned my readers as far back as March 2007 almost a year before the presidential primaries for the 2008 Presidential Elections began about electing demagogues who promise you every change under the sun. I was the first person in the world to coin the phrase Obama Nation in that article (see Obama predictions). He has come to his destiny too soon and too enamored with and manipulated by the American power brokers lobbyists and aristocracy of CEOs and corporate moguls. There are great and tragic shocks coming to him that might get him back on track to his greater destiny. Right now, he is off track. That can change if your protest is intelligent rather than mindlessly violent.

CHRIS
When does it end? When is enough going to be enough? does it really have to come down to all us killing each other just to survive? This is supposed to be the greatest country in the world, to me its turning into just another third world country too fucking poor to take care of its own. We import more SHIT from everywhere else because its too FUCKING exspensive to make here. Who are they kidding? I dont think there’s enough people in this country to stand up collectively and say fuck you we have had it.

HOGUE
There aren’t enough yet, but this smoldering mood you honestly and accurately express will spread. The masses of Russia felt powerless and angry, the masses of France did the same. When the critical mass of this suppressed volcano of mass anger reaches a boiling point in a country of 300 million possessing more than 300 million firearms, the revolution unleashed will be far worse than anything seen before on this earth. It will be a mindless blind rage of a monster hysteria swiping and destroying all in its reach: the guilty as well as the innocent will be carried off in the storm.

Revolution is destined to happen, but it is still in our hands to make it a peaceful revolution. We must move beyond anger and free all the genius energy anger devours so that the American people can think clearly, feel clearly, act by ballot and peacefully and courageously protest our grievances until our president, congress and court hear us.

First, find a way to privately express and free yourself from this anger. Don’t be lost in the boiling rage of the mob mind. Were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Samuel or John Adams men who ran wild with their rage against King George’s imperial taxation-without-representation machine? The founding fathers of our revolution where rational, cool, centered citizens. They tried in every way to find a peaceful solution to their problems with King George in England and only chose violent confrontation as the last resort. I’m hoping our leaders are not a stubborn and stupid as that mad king.

You, Chris, in your letter and Joe Stack in his suicide manifesto promote violence as the first resort.

Are we to follow the path of Usama bin Laden or Thomas Jefferson?

Let us choose to emulate people like George Washington, Adams and Jefferson, over Robespierre and his guillotine, which in the end was used to cut off his own idiotic head to end the terror he started. Even Nostradamus foresaw that end for such men when he said:

De gent esclaue chansons, chants & requestes,
Captifs par Princes & Seigneur aux prisons:
A l’aduenir par idiotz sans testes,
Seront receus par diuaines oraisons.

From the enslaved people, songs, chants and demands,
The princes and lords are held captive in prisons:
In the future by such headless idiots
These (demands) will be taken as divine utterances.

He wrote this in 1555 and indexed in Century 1, Quatrain 14. By the way, the storming of the Bastille prison that started the French Revolution happened on the 14th day of July 1789.

I get where Chris is coming from because I share the same dominant ego identity trait. All egos or states of idiocy programmed over our souls possess one overriding trait. Some ego-idiot minds imposed on us are that of the Victim, the Narcissistic Bargainer (that’s Obama), and the trait Chris and I wrestle with, the Anger type.

Strange thing about anger. When you are under its spell actions committed in anger disempowered you. Joe Stack’s actions and domestic terrorism did not change a thing. The IRS goes on about its work now an ennobled victim. Indeed, his act of terrorism has indirectly branded all those with real grievances with the same mark. There will be less listening now in the tragic aftermath of broken families — the surviving Stacks and Joe’s victims — a burned office and a burnt home.

I can share with Chris and the rest of you meditation techniques that can help transform and free much of your life force that is under the grip of anger’s tyranny. Free that liberated energy, think, and feel clearly. Seek then creative solutions and be a part of a peaceful American Revolution.

About that revolution, I close with these two prophecies:

A body of censors will be created who will be responsible for policing the U.S. legislature at all levels.

David Goodman Crowly (1888), Glimpses of the Future

You are those censors and watchdogs.

In the year 2026, the constitution of the United States will be no more. In its place will be an entirely different document, and an entirely new way of governmental rule, I predict that man will live in greater trust and love of his fellow man at that time.

Irene F. Hughes (1974)

Meditation will be the cause of that happy change. Write to me and I will share with you those techniques that help me be a meditative revolutionary.

John Hogue

(21 February 2010)

Oh yes, I’ll be there to light a fire under the prophetic bullshit fantastic. I’ll be there to play sympathetic skeptic against the 2012 hysteria. Who knows? I might start a playful riot like I did years ago when I called Dolores Cannon out before a few thousand people to prove if she actually helped her trance clients talk to the living Nostradamus in the 1550s. If you want to be entertained, you will be entertained. If you want more than idle paranormal drivel, then read on.

The most important gift I have to offer you at the Conscious Life Expo is not a talk on Nostradamus uncensored, or an exposition on my views on the prophecy panel or the 2012 panel planned. I have a treasure to give you after my workshop. A treasure I pass on from my meditation teacher, the mystic Osho, given many years ago. It is a revelation whose heartbeat pulses at seven beats a second in indigo light. It is a night meditation called Gourishankar.

Gourishankar is the Sanskrit name for what honkeys of the British Raj renamed the tallest mountain on Earth with one of their impotent, nasal misnomers, “Mt. Eeh-voor-eehst.”

I’m going to give the hour-long Gourishankar meditation done to music after my workshop on Sunday.

This meditation consists of four stages of 15 minutes each. The first two stages prepare the meditator for the spontaneous Latihan of the third stage. Latihan is a mysterious and wonderful moment when one becomes the bamboo flute that existence plays its songs upon. Latihan is the moment when existence dances you. Latihan is the state of being a medium for the beyond. To prepare for this state, one must fly without wings. Osho has said that if the breathing is done correctly in the first stage the carbon dioxide formed in the bloodstream will make you feel as high as Gourishankar (Mt. Everest.)

First Stage: 15 minutes

Sit with closed eyes. Inhale deeply through the nose, filling the lungs. Hold the breath for as long as possible, then exhale gently through the mouth and keep the lungs empty for as long as possible. Continue this breathing cycle throughout the first stage, carried by the transcendent music higher and higher…

Second Stage: 15 minutes

Return to normal breathing and with a gentle gaze look at a candle flame or a softly flashing blue light pulsing at seven beats a second. Keep your body still. (I will bring to this meditation a flashing strobe light thickly filtered to a gentle indigo glow. This is the third-eye color. This stage stimulates one’s inner eye to a soft, warm and welcoming bongo tattoo.

Third Stage: 15 minutes

The light goes off. With closed eyes in the darkness, stand up and let your body be loose and receptive. The subtle energies will be felt to move the body outside your normal control. Allow this Latihan (let go) to happen. Don’t you do the moving: let moving happen, gently and gracefully

Fourth Stage: 15 minutes

Lie down with closed eyes, silent and still.

Osho.

My understanding of this meditation is that it helps one discover how to get out of the way and become a medium of the whole cosmos. What special ways that Cosmos wishes to use us is unique to all participants and is sacred whether the world judges what comes through as great or mundane. I use Gourishankar to aid in my work. You can use it as a technique to get out of your own way and be given by existence what is uniquely your destiny to share. Whatever that blessing may be.

Come meditate with us, Sunday. Go to this link and learn more:

Osho’s Gourishankar (Mt. Everest Meditation)

Room and time will be given at the end of the Work Shop. See more information about the meditation and the workshop here: Nostradamus Uncensored

Predictions for 2010 here

Haitian Presidential Palace before the quake.

Friends,
A second blizzard of the kind I predicted would presage a record breaking hot summer in North America and Europe is hitting the mid-Atlantic United States. (See snow storm.) Time to go south for the winter in focus back to the question many of you ask: Did Nostradamus foresee the Haiti Earthquake that the Haitian government now claims killed over 231,000 people?

Earthquake prophecies in Nostradamus are frequent. To what times they apply are equally and frequently obscure. Take for example the famous prophecy from Century 9 Quatrain 83:

Sol vint de Taurus si fort terre trembler.
Le grand theatre rempli ruynera,
L’air, ciel & terre obscurcir & troubler,
Lors l’infidelle Dieu & saincts voguera.

The Sun in 20 degrees Taurus there will be a great earthquake,
The great theater full up will be ruined.
Darkness and trouble in the air, on the sky and land,
When the infidel calls upon God and the Saints.

The Sun transits the sign of Taurus hitting the 20-degree mark around 10-11 May every year. Here we have a detailed prophecy about a great temblor leveling either a crowded theater or stadium teaming with people. Power goes out (darkness) and chaos follows. We’ve grown used to infidel being used by Islamic terrorists as a label to mark their human targets. The earthquake, then, could be metaphorical for some earth-shattering explosion of weapons of mass destruction on a May 11th in the future. Given jihadist fascination with the number 11 as a date — World Trade attack on 9/11; the Madrid train bombings on 3/11 — all should be vigilant for an earth quaking explosion any time the Sun is 20 degrees Taurus.

There are other possibilities. Infidel in Latin usually means those who are non-Christians and therefore unbelievers. Thus, Nostradamus could here speak of a catastrophic earthquake so terrible and biblical in proportions that it scares sinners back to God and saint worship.

The mention of saints intends a future quake hitting a predominantly Catholic location. Though no large-scale theater or stadium fell upon the predominantly Catholic citizens in Port-au-Prince on 12 January 2010 (not 10 May) all the other details might match what is going on in Haiti, as they would match any other region undermined and unmanned by the chaos of a large-scale earthquake: the land upended. Great clouds of dust obscure the sky. The air made foul by the stench of the dead. Darkness, the land (country) in trouble and confusion. And so the augury goes…

One of my earliest television interviews held on the roof of the Griffith Park Observatory overlooking the smoggy sprawl of Los Angeles in April 1988, had me fly in from Seattle to debunk growing hysteria and TV ratings-ramping rumors that Nostradamus predicted Los Angeles would be ground flat by a superquake on 10 May that year. I am sure that a number of my colleagues who make their living getting people upset over 2012 cut their teeth and undercut credibility as interpreters of Nostradamus scaring Angelinos not just on 10 May 1988, but 1989, 1999 and a half dozen other Mays throughout the 1990s, requiring my refutation of their claims in the media. None of these predictions for LA’s “Big One” ever happened. None of these interpreters milking press and panic ever explained how they could get it so wrong.

Anyway, as for our interests today, the 10-11 May time window excludes Haiti. We will have to watch what happens on the next 1,787 May 10ths up to the year 3797, when Nostradamus predestined the end of the world. (Sorry Roland Emmerich and Chicken Little, no bang bang in 2012. That year is not even mentioned in Nostradamus.)

The name Haiti was never mentioned in the prophecies; however, there may be other word leads in Nostradamus to find a prophecy about Haiti’s recent quake. As I stated in my last blog, the Arawakan-speaking Taino Indian name for Haiti (Ayiti) means “mountainous land.” Search that phrase or search all usages of mountain, montaignard or mountainous through the 36,000-plus words of Nostradamus and you get many of Nostradamus’ most famous fulfilled predictions, such as 10 Q49′s “hollow mountains” falling in the “new city.” A popular interpretation presents that one for the two towers falling on 11 September 2001 to terrorist attack. A future natural or cosmic disaster in 1 Q69 describes a “mountain,” between 500 and 1,000 feet in circumference, flying down from the sky hitting the ocean and undermining locations where Mediterranean civilization got its start. Other prophecies with related information mark the Aegean Sea east of the Island of Euboea as the impact zone. Again, Nostradamus gives no date, so the jury of 1,787 years is still out.

No mention of “mountainous land” exists in any possible stretch of translation that would fit Ayiti/Haiti.

Next, I search all references to earthquakes. There are many! They mostly play on the French tembler (temblor, trembling, shaking, quaking, etc.). Nostradamus will use other poetic references to temblors and earthquakes, such as travail. After sweeping all possible shake-ups foreseen, this is what I found for Haiti: Nothing.

There are many quake prophecies in Nostradamus with clearly defined geographic locations. Even 3 Q3 locates and perhaps astrologically dates the quake “at the bottom of Asia” responsible for the tsunami in December 2004. None match any locations in the Caribbean.

We’re down to our last French word clues. Could we find evidence for the Haitian quake searching the word Porte or Prince in Nostradamus for the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince?

Nope…

How about Saint-Domingue, Haiti’s colonial name from 1659-1804?

Nope…

What about au Prince for Porte-au-Prince?

I can’t find a thing in Nostradamus about Haiti. If any of you would like to try it. Be my guest. I will post your attempts in my comments section below the article.

Be mindful that this Rogue Scholar will grade your attempts and later insert a review of your interpretations in your comments, in the hope that I can share some of the Nostradamus-deciphering skills acquired over the last 30 years. Good luck and happy hunting.

PS — Natural disasters accelerate in the Caribbean region with a 5.0 or 6.0 temblors hitting the region nearly every day in the first nine days since the Haitian quake bulldozed Porte-au-Prince and its environs. Yesterday a powerful 6.1 aftershock brought more structures down. Before 1 November 2009, I predicted Mother Nature was about to wage war on humanity, starting with the new year. See Predictions for 2010.

In the final chapter We have Appeasers for Our Times my oracle sent this message:

The enemy is our unconsciousness as a species, our willingness to believe rather than “know” our collective soul, our willful postponement and outright resistance to awakening our responsibility to be gardeners — not rapacious parasites — of this Earth. And, if Mother Earth must, she will scourge us, starting in 2010 through 2011 with a spike in climate change disasters never before seen.

Pg 116, Predictions for 2010

One of the paradoxes of fever is that it brings on chills. The cradles of the CO2 belching Industrial Revolution have been hammered by historic blizzards. First, it was Europe, now the Eastern United States, and the capital where many of the most earth unfriendly legislation supporting human abuse of the earth are sustained. The capitol wherein reform is a thing talked, debated but never acted upon to the degree that can lower the degree of climate change. The historic blizzards now bury Washington D.C. in feet of snow not seen in the human memory. The snowdrifts exceed those of the Knickerbocker Blizzard of 1928, over 82 years ago. We might have to go back to the 1790s when President Washington walked the earth to record similar snowfalls in Washington D.C.

I said in Predictions for 2010 that shortly after the toothless appeasement of climate change drafted in the Copenhagen Accords in December, the new year would slam Europe and other regions with record-breaking blizzards. People will think that global warming has ended, until a few months hence when equally extreme, record breaking high temperatures make the memory of the new year’s blizzards melt and vanish like a snowflake in an oven of summer heat waves and forest fires.

For two decades I have been making the following forecast and now along the buried boulevards of the US capital come the first bitter blizzard fruits of that vision. A new decade of record-breaking snowfalls has arrived not to hasten the end of global warming but to herald it.

Back in Predictions for 2009, I wrote the following passage when my corner of the world experienced record-breaking snow and blizzard conditions in December of 2008. The picture above was taken of me in that blizzard in the usually mild and rainy Pacific Northwest. It inspired the following explanation why white outs of frost bode the first chills of an oncoming and global climate fever:

***

Global warming is coming, they say. The snowy burial mound in my driveway where I think my car is buried begs to differ. People around my little village up on an island in the Puget Sound just 45 minutes north of Seattle, WA, soon became familiar with the fellow wrapped up head to foot trudging through snow drifts frosty with temperatures in the teens Fahrenheit. There’s that guy leg and Sorrel boot shoveling a path through the snowdrift who talks on radio and TV about global warming. The only thing warm about him this December 2008 is the scarlet color of the thermal winter work jump suit he hasn’t been seen wearing since he was a ditch man in a pipe crew at Rajneeshpuram, Oregon.

Sea level islands and farmlands of the usually rainy western half Washington State aren’t known for feet of snow lingering on the ground for a month and lows in the lean teens and single digits. The final month of 2008 visited upon the upper half of America’s lower 48 states a 49th-state Alaskan blast of arctic snows, blizzards and ice rain of historic proportions.

Global warming you say?

Believe it!

Global warming is here. Climate change is real.

That fellow in the scarlet suit, on breaks from writing this book to trudge down in blizzard conditions to his neighborhood store for victuals, brushing the ice off his beard and eyelids has been writing books and articles, or predicting on radio and TV for a decade, about just such unanticipated arctic blasts juiced by record snowfall and ice storms as evidence of climate change on a slow boil. You will recognize global warming is in full approach when record snow events fall as they did in December 08 across the Pacific Northwest and reached their Ice Age ivory fingers to snow white top mountains as far south as Southern California and Arizona. Even that exceedingly rare event of snow falling on New Orleans in late 2008 is just the kind of Arctic event my oracle screams is a symptom of climate change warm-up. In 2009 and onwards into the next dozen years or so, you will see more of these snow events stemming from a warmer climate pumping ever larger volumes of tropical and subtropical moisture farther north than ever before. These blasts of Polynesian pineapple pluie (that’s rain in French) collide with descending drafts of polar cold to produce snow events. Warmth wets these cold snaps of snow.

…The guy in the scarlet red thermal suit with rainbow colored wrap and woolen knit hat had been telling his neighbors during our last rare winter blast, “Enjoy the snows. They’re a passing symptom of global warming. At a certain point in the next decade tropical moisture will butt heads with arctic blasts, producing record snow events until the atmosphere’s aggregate increase in temperature muscles the Arctic air back north to its melting polar bear dens and all you’ll experience down around Seattle is a winter of cool monsoon rains.”

“Earth Change We Can Believe In”,
Predictions for 2009

In the next blog we will continue to search Nostradamus’ prophecies for any mention of the great earthquake that devastated Haiti.
