Nostradamus, a 16th century physician, is perhaps the most famous non-religious prophet of all time. His predictions are arranged in four-line quatrains of 100-verse groupings called "centuries," having nothing to do with time but number, which total around 1,000. He has been credited with predicting not only innumerable historical occurrences from revolutions to wars and so on but also modern events such as 9-11 (including a bomb, not an airplane, at the Pentagon), Katrina, the JFK assassination, the Iraqi wars, even the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

While Nostradamus predicted the hung jury election (the infamous hanging chads decided by the Supreme Court to favor Bush), he saw Gore as the person elected, and well, indeed he was, depending on who's counting. Nostradamus in fact foresaw the worldwide web as a mass of strings over the Earth converging into a central location, presumably the central computer in Europe known as "the beast."
Nostradamus wrote his quatrains out of sequence, often using mythology for associative representations, and he encoded the messages in anagrams and misspellings for the purpose of avoiding persecution as a magician in his time. Born a Jew, he had been forced to relinquish his Jewish birth heritage and adopt Catholicism in order to freely function as a physician in his culture. So he was not about to forfeit that status by revealing his magic to those who had already enslaved him to official dogma.
It has only recently been discovered that he secured the promise of his messages reaching through the ages to us by forming a secret organization among his medical students (surviving to this day under the name The Foundation, who designate themselves as "prophecy fighters"), imparting to a select few the secrets of the quatrains, knowledge which has found its way to us through the millennia in a most uniquely magical and ironic way. Ironic because Nostradamus too fell prey to at least one of the brainwashed stereotypes of his day, that being his belief that women were basically inferior, good for child-bearing and performing mundane tasks but little else, and so it was a big shock to him that he found his protégée in our time to be embodied in a woman. Let me explain. . .
Dolores Cannon (1931-2014) started her career as a hypnotist in the 1970s after having raised a family, and like some others in those days having been captivated by the widely publicized account of The Search for Bridey Murphy, a 1956 publication of a hypnotic prebirth regression, she followed that fascination with her own exploration of prebirth memories in her own hypnotic practice.

Concentrating on subjects called natural somnambulists, that small percentage of the population capable of the deepest levels of hypnosis, Dolores was able to achieve past life recall with ease. Quite by accident in one of her hypnotic sessions in the 80s, through a subject who was experiencing a life in which he was a student of Nostradamus, Dolores happened upon a unique opportunity when Nostradamus himself approached the subject in trance and said he would like to communicate directly with Dolores about his predictions. In this way Dolores learned that the great seer used an obsidian mirror and automatic writing to formulate his prophecies but that such trappings were unnecessary and that he could come through anyone with whom Dolores worked. And so it was that through 12 different hypnotic subjects seriatim Dolores amassed material now comprising her series of books entitled Conversations with Nostradamus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etH0qtFOcg). The most useful of these subjects was an astrologer who was able to time events with Nostradamus in modern times by consulting astrological charts for planetary and constellation placements.
Similarly Dolores learned that very little is carved in stone with few nexus points but that in fact our future is malleable for the most part so that Nostradamus' most dire predictions may be avoided or at least altered, the very purpose of prophecy, and since the 1980-2000 period was most important in his view, he had finally found a way to get our attention!
The focus of the mind itself, Nostradamus teaches us, is in large part a manifestation which is squared by the focus of the group mind. He therefore encourages us to focus on the opposite of the dark prophecies.
Today groups like The Global Brain Project routinely use this group mind meditation for peace and welfare of mankind. Could Nostradamus' prophecy of many more attacks on New York following 9-11 have been averted by such group meditations? At any rate, taking that advice to heart, Dolores began touring worldwide to spread the word.
Earthquakes of greater frequency, bankers controlling our governments, increasing strange weather, and a tipping of the Earth are among the predictions for our time. As man continues relinquishing power to the machines, Nostradamus saw thought-activated computers as well as organic computers living and replicating themselves. A prophesied New Earth is likened to the disappearance of the Mayans who had achieved a consciousness shift of a high enough frequency to shift densities out of 3D and into the next dimension, a fate for which humans strive as possibly the best outcome for our troubled times. Until then, Nostradamus encourages meditation, especially of the group mind, to mold the future to its most positive fruition.
