Conversations with Nostradamus
These texts primarily discuss Dolores Cannon's experiences conducting hypnosis sessions to access information about Nostradamus and his prophecies. Working with subjects named Elena, John, and Brenda, Cannon explores purported past-life connections to Nostradamus, particularly focusing on a student-teacher relationship. The narratives detail the challenges of translation and the methods used to interpret Nostradamus' cryptic quatrains, including using astrological charts and imagery. Significant attention is given to predictions regarding future events, notably the rise of the Anti-Christ, global conflicts, earth changes, and the potential for humanity to alter these outcomes. The sources also offer insights into Nostradamus' life, methods, and the protective measures taken due to the controversial nature of his work.
What is the method used to communicate with Nostradamus in these sources?
The method used in these sources involves a form of hypnotic regression. Dolores Cannon acts as the facilitator, guiding individuals (referred to as "vehicles") into a trance state. While in this state, the vehicles are able to access what is presented as the consciousness or perspective of Nostradamus, allowing for a form of direct communication where Nostradamus responds to questions and provides insights through the vehicle. This is distinct from automatic writing or other forms of channeling, with a focus on a conversational format mediated by the hypnotist.
Who are the primary "vehicles" through whom Nostradamus communicates?
The primary vehicles mentioned in the excerpts are "Elena" and "John." Both individuals enter a trance state and serve as conduits for Nostradamus's thoughts, observations, and interpretations of his own prophecies. Elena is the vehicle used in the initial contact described, while John is mentioned as being utilized later and having a strong interest in metaphysical studies and astrology, which Nostradamus finds helpful for communication.
What are some of the key futuristic technologies or concepts that Nostradamus describes?
Nostradamus describes several advanced technologies and concepts. These include "modern inventions" with military applications, like the "box with the flickering light" (electricity) and its applications leading to communication technology using "microchips." He also describes submarines ("the fleet travels under water"), missiles, and advanced weapons like an "atomic weapon" (comparing its intensity to bringing "a piece of the sun down to the earth"). He also mentions unusual vehicles that travel "on and above" the air and even above airships, suggesting advanced aerial or space travel. Biological experiments are also described, including the creation of diseases that discriminate between sexes and the possibility of genetic manipulation or cloning to create "ready-made army" individuals. He also refers to "DNA computers" which are described as having immense computing power and efficiency.
What are some of the significant future events or disasters predicted by Nostradamus in these conversations?
Several significant future events are predicted. These include devastating earthquakes, particularly affecting New York and a "triangle" of cities on the West Coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco, and another "Los" something). A major planetary shift is described as occurring "toward the closing of the century you know" within a short period, dramatically altering continents. Severe earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are predicted, leading to famine and war over scarce resources. The "dry quatrain" refers to a time of severe drought coinciding with specific astrological alignments and the appearance of a comet, causing social upheaval and assisting the rise of the Anti-Christ. Nuclear events, including the use of atomic weapons in the Middle East and accidental detonations, are also mentioned. Earth changes are a recurring theme, including the partial or complete submersion of landmasses like half of the English Isle and parts of Asia (St. Petersburg, India up to the Himalayas, most of China and the Philippines), while other areas like Iceland and parts of the United States Midwest become islands or larger land masses.
How does Nostradamus explain his process for receiving visions and making predictions?
Nostradamus explains that he uses various instruments and rituals to help him concentrate and connect with "higher spheres." These instruments, set up in a special room, include things like writing instruments, compass-like items, a tripod with a bowl for burning alcohol (creating a blue flame), and measuring devices. He describes tuning into "higher vibrations of the universe" which are mathematically precise, similar to tuning a radio. This allows him to see visions or "astrally travel to other dimensions for a period of time." Astrology plays a significant role in his work, as he uses astrological signs and alignments to help set the time factors for the events he sees.
What is the Anti-Christ figure like, as described through these communications?
The Anti-Christ is described as a powerful individual who rises to power during a time of global upheaval, specifically aided by the social unrest caused by drought and famine. He is seen as a "power behind the throne," influencing policy decisions in various countries and being feared by leaders. There is speculation that this figure might be involved in eugenics, potentially creating a type of human "programmed for war." He is also linked to the use of nuclear weapons and is described as having a "World Empire."
How does Nostradamus view the role of extraterrestrials or "Others" in relation to Earth's future?
Nostradamus suggests that extraterrestrials or "Others" exist and are aware of Earth's situation. He indicates that they can potentially help a civilization, but it depends on how they are "received" and whether the people on Earth "make the decision whether or not they will let them." While usually not allowed to interfere, he states that they would become involved if humanity causes the planet to accelerate to an "unnatural death," as this would affect their solar system through a "domino affect." He also mentions having contact with the "Others" and even sending them quatrains about events on their own planets. UFOs and their undersea bases are also briefly mentioned.
Does Nostradamus communicate about events or individuals from his own time period?
Yes, the communications touch upon Nostradamus's life and time. Descriptions of his house, study, and daily routines are provided, including details about his instruments, books, servants, wife, and even his toilet arrangement. He also comments on contemporary figures and events, such as the conflicts in Europe during his era, his students like Dyonisus, and his personal challenges, such as his difficulties with women, which he links to astrological aspects in his horoscope. He mentions keeping antiquities from Roman and Greek times locked in a chest to protect them from a nosy servant.
This document summarizes the main themes and key ideas presented in excerpts from Dolores Cannon's Conversations With Nostradamus, Volumes 1 and 2. The sources detail Cannon's hypnotic regression sessions with various individuals, through whom she claims to communicate directly with the spirit of Nostradamus and his student, Dyonisus, as well as accessing other sources of information. The briefings primarily focus on Nostradamus' interpretations of his prophecies and insights into future events, as well as details about his life and practices.
Main Themes:
Communication Across Time and Dimensions: The central premise is the ability to contact and communicate with historical figures like Nostradamus through hypnotic trance and accessing alternate dimensions or the "subconscious" of individuals. This communication is described as a sensitive process, where the "vehicle" or subject in trance acts as a channel for information. The text highlights the distinct personalities and limitations of the communicating entities (Dyonisus, John, Elena, etc.) and their interaction with the spirit of Nostradamus.
Nostradamus' Prophetic Visions and Their Interpretation: The core of the sources lies in Nostradamus' explanations of his quatrains. He describes seeing future events through visions, which he then encoded using symbolism, astrological alignments, and historical references to protect the information and make it accessible to those who could decipher it. The interpretations cover a wide range of subjects, including:
Technological advancements (electricity, submarines, microchips, communications, atomic weapons, weather control, DNA computing, earthquake machines).
Major global conflicts and social upheaval (World Wars, Middle East unrest, civil strife, war over resources).
Cataclysmic Earth changes (earthquakes, planetary shifts, rising sea levels, volcanic eruptions, altered geography).
The rise of a figure referred to as the Anti-Christ.
The potential involvement of extraterrestrial beings ("Others," "Watchers," UFOs).
Developments in science and medicine (trepanning in his time, future biological weapons, genetic manipulation/cloning, understanding the mind's capabilities).
Astrology and its Role in Prophecy: Astrology is presented as a key element in Nostradamus' method. He used planetary positions and alignments to predict the timing of events, describing it as a way to "tune in on the higher vibrations of the universe which are very precise mathematically." The sessions include discussions about astrological rulerships, specific planetary configurations, and their significance in interpreting the quatrains.
Nostradamus' Life and Practices: The sources provide glimpses into Nostradamus' daily life, his study, his instruments, his students (like Dyonisus), and even personal details such as his struggles with women (indicated by Moon square Mars in his horoscope). His use of a bowl with a blue flame burning alcohol and measuring instruments is described as a method to enhance concentration and access higher dimensions or astrally travel for his visions.
The Importance of Context and Vocabulary: A recurring theme is the difficulty of translating concepts and technologies from the future into the vocabulary and understanding of Nostradamus' time. The entities communicating through the vehicles often draw upon the vehicle's knowledge to find equivalent terms, highlighting the limitations of their historical perspective.
Free Will and Intervention: While prophecies are discussed as patterns that "still hold," there's an acknowledgement of the potential for humanity's choices to influence or alter future events. The possibility of extraterrestrial intervention is also mentioned, but contingent on humanity's actions causing unnatural planetary destruction.
Most Important Ideas or Facts:
Nostradamus is believed to be still living in an "incredible dimension" accessible through trance. (Volume 1, p. 1)
Nostradamus used specific methods and instruments to induce visions and astral travel. "He has come in... and he has lit a flame. He's burning alcohol so that the flame is blue. And he's setting up his various instruments to help him concentrate on the higher spheres." (Volume 1, p. 125)
Nostradamus' quatrains are encoded with symbolism and astrological data. He explicitly used astrological signs to indicate time factors. (Volume 1, p. 126)
Future technologies were foreseen by Nostradamus and described using analogies from his time. The "box with the flickering light" is interpreted as the taming of electricity and the resulting technologies like microchips and communications. (Volume 1, p. 143) Submarines are described as "boats" that travel "under water." (Volume 1, p. 143)
Atomic weapons were foreseen, described as "like bringing a piece of the sun down to the earth" and depicted through imagery of a "long gray cylinder and then... a picture of a mushroom cloud." (Volume 1, p. 183)
There are prophecies about a significant planetary shift occurring "toward the closing of the century you know," potentially within a six-to-ten-hour period, causing dramatic geographical changes. "Continents as you know them now will cease to exist or change dramatically." (Volume 1, p. 178)
Major earthquakes are predicted, particularly affecting the West Coast of the United States (Los Angeles, San Francisco, and a third unnamed city forming a "triangle"). "That New York will be experiencing an earthquake that will be devastating because of the buildings that are so tall there." (Volume 1, p. 177) A devastating earthquake is also predicted to rip open the Earth's crust, causing global tremors and significant land loss, including half of the English Isle. (Volume 1, p. 171-172)
There is a prophecy of widespread famine and drought, leading to conflict over remaining resources. "There won't be enough food to go around, and people, from countries who are starving, will be marching upon the people of countries who have surplus food." (Volume 1, p. 172) This is linked to a "dry quatrain" associated with specific astrological alignments and a easily-seen comet. (Volume 1, p. 173)
The rise of an Anti-Christ figure is a prominent theme, linked to social upheaval and the weakening of nations. (Volume 1, p. 174, Volume 2, p. 37-46, etc.)
Biological warfare, including engineered diseases that can target specific chromosomes, is predicted. "The virus that attacks has different effects on men and women. They're in the process of refining it, so it will primarily kill men and render women incapable of bearing children." (Volume 2, p. 67)
The development of a weapon capable of causing earthquakes through sound waves is described. "The country that develops this device will be able to hold it as a major threat over the heads of all the major nations." (Volume 1, p. 238) This is compared to the strategic advantage of nuclear power after World War II.
Nostradamus foresaw genetic manipulation and cloning, potentially for the creation of "a ready-made army whose only thought and desire would be to kill." He refers to this as "eugenics." (Volume 1, p. 246-247)
UFOs and undersea bases are mentioned as part of future events. "The fish that flies over land and sea-he says what he finds in this vessel's mind that fits what he was seeing is that concept known as UFOS. After the time of conflict there will be much closer contact with the powers behind these vessels." (Volume 1, p. 264) "He says that's what he said. On the seafloor." (Referring to undersea bases.) (Volume 1, p. 264)
Nostradamus claims to have made contact with people on other planets in future time periods. "He has contacted other people in future time periods, not because this has failed, but because these other people in these other time periods are on other planets." (Volume 1, p. 314) He sent them quatrains not related to Earth.
Detailed geographical changes after the Earth shift are described, including parts of the United States being cut in half, the formation of new islands, and significant submersion of coastal areas and lowlands in Europe and Asia. (Volume 2, p. 290-291, 281-282)
Nostradamus' astrological insights extend beyond the planets known in his time, predicting the discovery of new planets that would rule Virgo and Libra and signal a "true Aquarian Age." He places the discovery of the planet ruling the Aquarian Age around 2040, originating from another solar system with a binary star. (Volume 2, p. 112-113)
Nostradamus had a private toilet in his house, considered a luxury at the time, and found it conducive to his thinking. "Sometimes I do my best thinking in here." (Volume 2, p. 123)
He kept ancient artifacts from Roman and Greek times in a locked chest, including an ancient Roman sword, to prevent theft by his servants and students. (Volume 2, p. 143-144)
