How accurate are the prophecies of Nostradamus?

September 26th, 2010 | Author: Kala

Welcome to Kala’s Quick Five, where I chat with fascinating authors, artists, teachers and researchers and ask them five questions about their work. My guest today is Peter Lemesurier, a former Cambridge linguist and professional translator whose work has been included in programs including: the Discovery Channel, the History Channel, and the National Geographic Channel. Lemesurier is the author of ten books on Nostradamus, including The Unknown Nostradamus, Nostradamus: The Illustrated Prophecies and the topic of our discussion here, Nostradamus, Bibliomancer — The Man, The Myth, The Truth.

Kala: Peter, Nostradamus was said to have written a great number of prophecies. The one that appears the most accurate, was his quatrain which alluded to King Henry II, being injured and dying by his eye being pierced. This later happened during a tournament when the King was jousting and is pierced through his eye, resulting in his death days later. What has your research found in the validity of this prediction?

Peter: As I point out in the book, this is what quatrain I.35 says when translated into English verse:

The younger lion shall the old o’erride
On martial battlefield in single duel.
His eyes he’ll put out in a pit outside -
Two forces joined – and then a death most cruel.

It thus describes (a) a duel between an old and a young lion (b) on a battlefield, involving (c) the engagement of two armies, in the course of which (d) the younger lion puts out the eyes of the older (e) in a cage (Latin cavea: ‘animal enclosure’, ‘pit’, as per the definition of the word in Robert Estienne’s Dictionarium Latinogallicum of 1552), (f) with d’or simply the result of the compositor’s mishearing of dehors (‘outside’, ‘separate’). Thereafter (g) the older one suffers a cruel death. The death of King Henri II in 1559, by contrast, occurred as a result of (a) a joust (and not a duel) between two knights who, although aged 40 and 29 respectively, had no major connections (heraldic or otherwise) with lions, (b) at court, and (c) not in the presence of two armies, (d) in the course of which no eyes were put out (the fatal splinter from the Comte de Montgomery’s broken lance in fact entered the King’s brain just *above* the eye), (e) on open ground at the Palais des Tournelles, and not in an animal pit at all.

Keen as modern would-be interpreters are to suggest, by way of explanation, that the caige d’or ‘really’ refers to the ‘golden cage’ of the King’s helmet, the fact is that no contemporary illustration of the event suggests any resemblance between it and a cage, let alone a golden one (both helmets were in fact of the peaked visor type). Whence, no doubt, the fact that neither the Queen nor Nostradamus himself had evidently ever heard of the proposed connection between verse and proposed event. Nor, clearly, had the latter’s admiring secretary Chavigny, who published several adulatory books about him in the 1590s listing his claimed successes in great detail, and who would certainly have seized on this supposed prophetic triumph if it had ever occurred to him. In fact, the suggestion didn’t first appear in print until 1614, 55 years after the event and 48 years after the death of Nostradamus. Indeed, he himself, in an open letter to Jean de Vauzelles dated 1562, associated the event instead with a different verse entirely – namely, III.55 – and even then only by retrospectively changing the word ‘grand’ to read ‘grain’, to fit the fact that Montgomery’s family name was ‘de Lorge’ and that, in French, l’orge meant ‘barley’! In short, then, barely one of the details of the prophecy actually fits the proposed event.

But this, naturally, was not good enough for the re-interpreters. Clearly, there were sufficient superficial similarities to encourage them to persist with the proposed association. The main problem, though, was the expression ‘deux classes’ in the last line. In all of Nostradamus’s thirty-eight other uses of the word ‘classe’ in his Propheties, after all, it always carried its then-perfectly-normal meaning of ‘army’ or ‘fleet’, after the Latin ‘classis’. But, for reasons that seemed obvious (to the re-interpreters, at least), this time it had to be different. And so they felt impelled to drag in the Greek word ‘klasis’, which meant
‘fracture’ or ‘breakage’. This might not have fitted the King’s flesh-wound, but might conceivably have applied to the offending lance – whence, no doubt, the subsequent idea that it had split in two places. But then Nostradamus, if he had wished to, would presumably have used the Latinised form ‘clade’, just as he did in quatrain IV.5.

Certainly various editors of the Prophecies from 1668 onwards evidently realized that the argument was a bit thin. And so some of them quite unashamedly changed the word classes to playes (‘wounds’) – as you would. After all, the verse just had to be made to apply to the death of King Henri II, didn’t it? Meanwhile the fact that the verse actually referred to a vision seen in the clouds over Switzerland in 1547 that was even illustrated in a near-contemporary book by Lycosthenes completely passed them by. The case, then, carries some salutary lessons.

Kala: As the quatrains of Nostradamus have grown more popular, it is said that his prophecies describe World War II and Hitler, referring to him as Hister as well as current events including 9/11 and the towers and an end of days prophecy for December 2012. What can you tell us about these prophecies?

Peter: As with the French Revolution and the First World War, there is absolutely no specific reference in the ‘Propheties’ to any World War, let alone a second one. At best, there are references to a variety of individual events that could have been part of any major conflict, and often demonstrably were. Frequently, indeed, they had already taken place across the same familiar battlefields, or had been anticipated by long-familiar sets of prophecies such as those of the anonymous ‘Mirabilis liber ‘of 1522/3, one of Nostradamus’s prime sources, which nevertheless majors on quite another conflict (namely an anticipated major Arab invasion of Europe, evidently based on the original Muslim expansion of the seventh century). What is particularly striking, though, is the way in which late 20th-century interpreters have seen far more associations with this more recent conflict than with its predecessors – a characteristic piece of retrospective myopia that is an almost inevitable result of the lack of temporal perspective with which we as humans tend to see history and consequently to twist the words of Nostradamus.

The reason for the widespread suggestions that Nostradamus predicted Hitler is simple: five of his predictions (II.24, IV.68, V.29, and Presages 15, 31) contain the name ‘Hister’, spelt with the old ‘long s’ or (in the associated collection of predictions taken from Nostradamus’s annual Almanachs known as the Presages) ‘Ister’. On the other hand, in his Almanach for 1554 Nostradamus himself explains that the word is simply another name for the River Danube. It was in fact first the Greek, and then the Roman name for the lower part of the river, only the upper part having been called Danubius. Which no doubt explains the fact that in two of the above it is coupled with the word ‘Rin’ or ‘Ryn’ (meaning ‘Rhine’, and not ‘nothing’!) – the Rhine having formed, with the Danube, the north-eastern frontier of the ancient Roman Empire whose history and cultural achievements were always in the forefront of the Renaissance seer’s mind.

As for 9/11, this one was inevitable. Surely Nostradamus, given that he allegedly always predicted whatever has just happened, must have predicted this most cataclysmic of events – most cataclysmic, at least, for Americans? Yet it has to be said that nowhere in his prophecies does he ever mention the United States of America, which didn’t exist in his day (even though he and his contemporaries were of course well aware of recent discoveries in the New World). Ignoring the ridiculous Anglophone spoofs that were put about at the time, quatrain I.87 merely says the following:

I.87. Original 1555 text Read as modern French:
Ennosigée feu du centre de terre Poseidon [gr. Ennosigaios, 'ébranleur du sol']
Fera trembler au tour de cité neufve: autour de Naples
Deux grands rochiers long temps feront la guerre Deux nobles ‘feront la guerre aux rochers’
Puis Arethusa rougira nouveau fluve. Puis Arethuse fera jaillir un nouveau fleuve rouge

Now it has to be said at once that Nostradamus just loved to break down classical place-names into their component bits. Thus, ‘cité neufve’, or ‘New City’, is much more likely to mean a town whose name means precisely that in Greek or Latin than merely any old city with ‘new’ in its name such as New York or New Orleans, while the ‘feu du centre de terre’ of the first line and the earthquakes of the second (to say nothing of the presence of Poseidon) immediately suggest a volcano (‘from the middle of the world’ would instead have been ‘du centre du monde’). In the third line, ‘deux grands’ is perfectly normal contemporary French for ‘two nobles’, and ‘faire la guerre aux ochers’ (‘to make war on the rocks’) is simply a standard idiom for ‘to struggle fruitlessly’. As for Arethusa, she was of course a Greek nymph of springs (there is, for example, a well-known ‘spring of Arethusa’ in Syracuse, Sicily), and not (as some have naturally suggested!) an English anagram of ‘the USA’, and if she sends forth a ‘new, red river’ it is presumably because the volcano is emitting a flow of lava. This suggests the verse-translation:

Earth-shaking flames from the world’s centre roar
And make the earth around ‘New City’ quiver.
Long shall two nobles wage a fruitless war
And Arethusa redden a new river.

The source thus seems to be the ‘Annales Cassini’ (the annals for the years 1000 to 1212 of the major Benedictine abbey and library of Monte Cassino, which had already served as a source for Dante’s ‘Divina Commedia’). These recorded the first known lava eruption in 1036 of Mount Vesuvius overlooking Naples (Greek Neapolis = ‘New City’), at a time when the Lombards of Capua and the Byzantine dukes of Naples were constantly at war over the city prior to the decisive intervention of the Normans. For the year 968, similarly, Leo Marsicanus had reported in the same annals that ‘Mount Vesuvius exploded into flames and sent out huge quantities of sticky, sulphurous matter that formed a river rushing down to the sea.’

Nostradamus, then, is evidently projecting the eruption into the future as an omen of an imminent civil war that will, like the volcano, produce a ‘red river’, this time presumably of blood. But of New York or the 9/11 tragedy he is clearly saying nothing. Much the same applies to the other verse often mentioned in this connection, namely VI.97, which actually mentions the Normans in question:

VI.97. Original September 1557 text Read as modern French:
Cinq & quarante degrés ciel bruslera, Cinq. (cinquante)
Feu approucher de la grand cité neufve,
Instant grand flamme esparse saultera, Avec violence/véhémence [lat. instanter]
Quant on vouldra des Normans faire preuve :

A suitable English verse-translation of this might be:

Latitude five and forty, sky shall burn:
To great ‘New City’ shall the fire draw nigh.
With violence those flames shall spread and churn
When they conclusions with the Normans try.

Here, once again, Nostradamus refers to a ‘cité neufve’ (presumably the same one), and specifies its latitude as ‘cinq & quarante degrés’. This is not, as is often claimed, the latitude of New York City, even though the state itself does extend that far north. But then neither, strictly, is it that of Naples (Greek Neapolis = ‘New City’). For that, the rather strange expression would have to be read as an abbreviation of ‘cinq[ante minutes] & quarante degrés’ – there ought, in other words, to be a dot after the first word, so as to signify anabbreviation – which, of course, is not unusual in Nostradamus, and would certainly be correct. The burning sky, the bursting forth of flames at a time when the Normans are being put to the test – all this is redolent of the Norman capture of Naples in 1139, the very year when the Annales Cassini also record an explosive eruption of nearby Vesuvius for 1-8 June, when ashes covered Salerno, Benevento, Capua and Naples. There is thus no need for the usual tortured and notably unconvincing explanations to the effect that the ‘Normans’ are somehow really’ the notably multi-racial inhabitants of New York.

And 2012? In his Prophecies Nostradamus mentions neither the End of the World nor the date 2012. This misconception is due almost entirely to the History Channel’s misidentification of a painted collection of prophetic papal emblems from long before Nostradamus’s time, known as the ‘Vaticinia de Summis Pontificibus’, as what it suggestively called ‘The Lost Book of Nostradamus’, assimilated to a widespread misunderstanding of the next significant date from the Mayan calendar. In fact, under the terms of Mayan cosmology, the end of the current world is not due (according to Schele and Freidel’s
authoritative ‘A Forest of Kings’) until day 13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.13.
13.13.13.13.0.0.0.0 after the theoretical end of the previous world in 3114 BC (an ‘end of the world’ totally unknown either to history or to archaeology!) – which, with each column equal to twenty times its predecessor, lies some 41,341,050,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years in the future, and not in 2012. So we all have time for a cup of coffee yet!

Kala: In your new book on Nostradamus, you share that you believe Nostradamus made his predictions using the “Janus principle’. Janus was the Roman god with two faces, representing beginnings and endings. The month of January is named for Janus, celebrating the new year. How did Nostradamus use the Janus principle in his predictions?

Peter: The ‘Janus principle’ is named after the two-faced Roman god of ends and beginnings after whom January is named and whose archetype we still celebrate at the year’s end by looking back at the old year and forward to the new. It is the age-old principle which states that only by looking back into the past can we can learn what is likely to happen in the future. The approach goes right back to classical times and beyond, and not merely to Cicero. The associated idea that there is no such thing as the future, but only a repetition of the past, consequently has an equally long pedigree. As Cicero’s brother puts it in the De Divinatione (I.lvi.127), ‘Things that are to come do not suddenly spring into existence, but the evolution of time is like the unwinding of a cable: it creates nothing new and merely unfolds each event in turn.’ Or as Nostradamus himself neatly puts it in verse III.79,

The sempiternal order of fate’s chain
Shall thereby in such order come again.

The idea can even be found in the Old Testament, in the form ‘Whatever is has been already, and whatever is to come has been already, and God recalls each event in its turn’ (Ecclesiastes 3:15). Among classical historians, and notably Plutarch, the argument was that, since humans create history, and human nature doesn’t change, history can only repeat itself. Plutarch demonstrated the idea in his ‘Parallel Lives’ by comparing the lives of a whole range of figures from Greek and Roman history respectively, such as Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar – under the terms of which Caesar could consequently be described as ‘another Alexander’.

And, paradoxically, there is ample evidence for the suggestion in the writings of that supposed futurologist whom we know as Nostradamus, and not only in verse III.79. In his royal dedication he refers, rather after Cicero’s analogy, to having ‘reckoned and calculated the present prophecies entirely according to the order of the chain that contains its own revolution [i.e. periodic recurrence]‘. Moreover, not only does he constantly call up reports of ancient omens by classical writers such as Julius Obsequens, but he refers specifically to future figures called ‘Anibal’ and ‘Neron’ in a way which demands that we read them as ‘another Hannibal’ and ‘another Nero’. In his annual Almanachs he mentions and ‘brings to life again’ a whole range of such ancient figures, often preceded by the words ‘a new’ (or other indications to that effect) – among them (in no particular order) Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Pompey, Augustus Caesar, Mark Antony, Lepidus, Marius, Achilles, Hippocrates, Hieron of Syracuse, Brennus, Thrasybulus, Democritus, Jason, Leonidas, Dionysius of Syracuse, Sylla, Themistocles, Ataxerxes, Zoroaster (together with ‘a repetition of the Persian age’), the Carthaginians generally, Scipio, Hannibal, Fabius, Marcellus, Aristides, Caligula, Cato, Claudius, Nero, Ogmius, Palamedes, Pyrrhus, Hippolytus, Parmenion, Trajan, Tiberius, Harmodius and Aristogiton, to mention only a number of classical examples. All of which should of course remind us that the very Renaissance in which Nostradamus was such a prominent, if controversial figure was specifically based on the idea of historical recapitulation – and notably that of resurrecting the arts and culture of ancient Greece and Rome in contemporary Europe so that, as the poet Petrarch famously put it as early as 1338, ‘our grandsons shall be able to walk back into the pure radiance of the past.’

Thus, it could almost be said that Nostradamus, paradoxically, didn’t believe in the future – or at least not in one that had not already been prophesied or foreshadowed on the basis of past events. Indeed, of the 942 verse-predictions in Nostradamus’s seminal book, ‘The Prophecies’, no less than 653 have been traced back with a high degree of probability to earlier events or ancient prophecies, and in many cases to specific historical accounts of the former – accounts which are therefore referred to by some scholars as Nostradamus’s ‘hypotexts’.

Kala: You also discuss the technique of bibliomancy. I’ve played with bibliomancy myself at times with books and even with a deck of cards. Describe how Nostradamus may have used bibliomancy in his work…

Peter: Nostradamus, clearly, was passionately interested in divination of all kinds, as his evident study of Cicero’s ‘De divinatione’ confirms, and so it is reasonable to suppose that even his choice of books and source-texts may have taken some kind of divinatory form.

Was there, then, such a technique available to him? In the event, there was. It was a very ancient divinatory technique, practised (especially among the religious) almost since the dawn of time – or of literary time, at least. It was practised among the ancient Hindus, the Hebrews and the Greeks, and was well known to Christians, too, right up until Nostradamus’s time. Some people still indulge in it today. Among the Romans it was a state-sanctioned technique known as the ‘sortes virgilianae’, and was practised, as the name implies, on the basis of the supposedly prophetic works of the poet Virgil (which Nostradamus himself knew and imitated, calling their author the ‘Prince of Poets’). The Emperors Hadrian, Alexander Severus, Gordian II and Claudius II are all known to have practised it. Even St Augustine of Hippo is said to have identified his future vocation by applying the technique to the text of St Paul’s letter to the Romans.

This technique was and is called ‘bibliomancy’, and it is inconceivable that a man as fascinated by ancient divinatory techniques as Nostradamus was should not have heard of it. Basically, it involves

randomly selecting a book from a bookshelf,
letting it fall open of itself at any page at random,
and then
randomly selecting a passage or passages from that page as a source of guidance.

This final phase can be based either on (as it were) selecting a passage with a pin, possibly while wearing a blindfold (which might be called the ‘strict’ method), or on simply seeing which passage jumps out at the eye (which might be called the ‘psychic’ method). Knowing Nostradamus’s personal proclivities, the latter approach seems more likely to have appealed to him as being more in keeping with his role as an esotericist.

Kala: There is some dispute as to whether Nostradamus was a doctor, an astrologer and a prophet. What has your research shown in this regard?

Peter: I’m afraid I have to report that Nostradamus was almost certainly ‘none of the above’. Not only was he expelled from medical college (we still have the handwritten documents to prove it), but he himself never claimed to be a doctor, and is reported as having on one occasion specifically denied it. His astrology was truly awful (he was constantly putting planets in the wrong houses or signs, for example), and his horoscopes turned out to be almost entirely wrong. And he himself wrote on several occasions that he wasn’t a prophet. You can’t say fairer than that, can you?

Exploring Inner and Outer Changes and Initiations of Light and Energy

March 18th, 2010 | Author: Kala

Be Sociable, Share!

Christine Day is a spiritual teacher and light worker who has been working throughout the U.S. and internationally for the last 15 years. By the time she was 31 years old, Christine Day was suffering from advanced systemic lupus and given a short time to live. Soon thereafter, she had a spiritual awakening with the Pleiadians; the energy of this awakening moved her to a place of self healing. She has been symptom-free for the last 25 years. Her powerful and heartbreaking personal story has inspired audiences throughout the world. Recently, I sat down with Christine to discuss her book – Pleiadian Initiations of Light: A Guide to Energetically Awaken You to the Pleiadian Prophecies for Healing and Resurrection.

Kala: Hi Christine, as the author of Pleiadian: Initiations of Light, can you describe to our readers – ‘who are the Pleiadians’?

Christine: The Pleiadians are from the star burst cluster called the Pleiadies. Their planet operates from a 5th dimensional consciousness, which means they operate from an unconditional loving space.They are part of the Universal Consciousness/ part of the oneness, the God consciousness. They are working in alignment with the Spiritual realms here on this earth plane to assist us all in our transition.

Kala: When did you have your first experience with the Pleiadians and what is your current relationship with them?

Christine: In 1986 I had a spiritual awakening, they were with me then, however they did not reveal themselves to me at that time, it was later that I become aware that they were present then and supporting me in my unfolding. My first conscious connection with them was in 1996 when they appeared and communicated directly to me. My current relationship is very strong with them, I feel as though I have become the Pleiadian ambassador for the Pleiadians on this planet. My role is to help to form a bridge between them and the human race, so that they can bring these light initiations to as many people as possible. My role is to bring to people’s attention the presence of the Pleiadians so that they can begin to open up to their help and utilize what is being made available to us now. My role is also to assist the Pleiadians to understand more about our humanness so that they can work more effectively with us to utilize these light initiations. I have a very close connection with them, almost like family. They have played a huge role in my self- realization process. I am in daily contact with them.

My working relationship with them is to channel their light initiations and create workshops for practitioners and seminars for the public. So far there are 14 levels of the practitioner work, and this work is called ‘Frequencies of Brilliance’. During the workshops the Pleiadians are present transmitting the initiating energies to the students, I work along side the Pleiadians, so we work together. I have a personal mission with them, assisting them to understand the human being and how they need to approach us in order for the work to be received and more easily utilized.

Kala: When speaking with them, did they share their mission for being on the earth plane and what their intentions are while visiting here?

Christine: Yes, their mission is to assist us as a 3rd dimensional planet to move through a transitional phase into a 4th/5th dimensional planet. This transition is to take place within the time frame between 2009 and until the end of 2012. The transition involves a change in our consciousness as a human race, beginning to move into a conscious awakening of our divine aspect of ourselves. The Pleiadians role is to assist individuals who are willing to receive these light initiations. Understanding that the light initiations themselves are to facilitate the anchoring of each persons individual divine essence within the cells of their own body. They are also anchoring the ‘Self Healing Prophecy’ energies for our accelerated awakening, it’s as though we are being given a grace period at this time for this accelerated anchoring of our light into the cells of our body, coming back into remembering who we are, and being able to access a clarity, knowledge and understanding of another level of ourselves.

Kala: In your book, you discuss a self-healing prophecy as well as tools for self-healing. Describe the techniques from the book and how they are implemented.

Christine: There are twelve chapters in the book that are specifically designed as initiating chapters, each chapter has a track on a CD that has chanelled energies within it. This allows the reader to read the chapter and then receive an awakening of initiating energies of light. The light initiations hold powerful frequencies of love that allow the reader to begin to align with a higher aspect of their spiritual nature. These energies on the CD are multi-dimensional, so each time you listen to the CD you receive a whole new experience, and receive another level of your healing light to awaken and self heal.

The Pleiadian’s work with the connection to the heart, assisting you to align with your sacred heart, it’s through the sacred heart that transformation and healing is made possible. It’s through the heart that we can align with our true spiritual nature, to our unique divine Self. It’s through the heart that we can move into an alignment with the oneness, that we can connect to the truth that we are a part of the life force that exist within the Universe. But most importantly it links us to a connection to all human beings here on this earth plane. So that we begin to move back into the Truth that we are not alone here, that we are connected to all life force. There is a track on the CD connecting you deeply into the heart, this allows you to work through the book with your connection to your sacred heart.

One of the other techniques is what I call Formations. They are created by sacred geometrical forms, and create a 4th/5th/6th dimensional energy that allows the reader to be able to move into direct experiences of aligning to their own light selves. Formations are introduced into the book so that self healing can take place. There are many levels to self healing, there is physical healing, emotional healing and spiritual healing. The formations help the reader to re-align back to a level of themselves that is beyond the 3rd dimensional space. A space where you can actually access an aspect of your unique divine aspect. Here you can utilize your own sacred energy to self heal physically, reconnect and align with higher levels of your own light so that you can begin an accelerated awakening process within your self. Your energetic field will expand as you reconnect with the Self on this level. Each time you take this Formation journey you have a different experience, a different journey. This is because of the multi-dimensionality of the channeling. Formations also give you an opportunity to build a personal relationship with the Pleiadians because they play an important role during your journey in the Formation. The Pleiadians participate with you within the Formation, assisting you in opening up into these experiences.

The journey into the Stargate with the Pleidians is exciting and transformational. It gives you an opportunity for realignment back to your light Self, recollecting aspects of your personal power and moving into a place where you open to a new clarity of truth within yourself. In this high dimensional space you can access a knowledge and understanding of your mission here on this planet in this lifetime. It’s about moving into a remembrance of your self, and receiving yourself in a new way.

The Cocoon is another powerful process that is in the book. The reader creates their own Cocoon space with the use of a channeled CD track, each time you use it your Cocoon expands and becomes more energetically complete to hold you so that you can rest. The energy of the Cocoon allows you to rest from all the 3rd dimensional intensity on this earth plane. The cocoon space promotes physical healing and a deep rest state for the cells of the body, assisting the body to de-stress itself. It allows for renewal and regeneration in the cells and organs. The Cocoon promotes an incredible environment for deep integration of all the light frequencies that you have received in the various journey’s that are available with the Pleiadians.

Kala: Are the Pleiadians open to communicating with anyone who is willing to communicate with them? If so, how would one go about opening a dialogue with them?

Christine: In my book, ”Pleiadian Initiations of Light”, there are process’s that the Pleiadians have created to make it possible for anyone to begin to develop a personal relationship with them. Because they operate in a higher dimensional space than the 3rd dimension it is necessary for us to move into a different energetic space in order for them to communicate with us. They use thought transference for communication. They have set up the use of sacred geometrical tools to create energetic spaces in which we can move into so that we have the opportunity to experience them and build these relationships with them. They meet you in your own commitment to your self, the more you are willing to show up the more they will make available to you. As your own vibration expands you are then able to communicate with them on a day to day basis without the assistance of these process’s. The Pleiadians have made a commitment to work with anyone who is using this book. That means if you give your permission and call them forward they will support you in your initiations. They absolutely respect our free will as human beings and will not enter your energetic space without this permission.

Kala: Many teachers and healers share their insight that humanity is in a period of evolution into the 4th and 5th dimensions. What are your feelings about this evolution, including the changes which will occur and what the end result will be from this shift?

Christine: The end result from this shift that is coming, as I energetically see it, is mass transformation, transformation of our planet both physically and energetically. Transformation of our consciousness as human beings, so that we all move completely into a 4th/5th dimensional consciousness. This means that we begin to live in a more united consciousness awareness of our inner connection that we have to all human beings. We begin to align with our natural Spiritual nature this allows us to begin to live with a deeper awareness of the Spiritual realms, and the life force that exists within the Universe. The shifts that will happen have always been going to happen, and now is the time.

It has already begun in many ways but there will be an acceleration of changes taking place. There will be earth changes here on our planet, some of them intense, the earth as I see it will be going through a birth. Birth brings upheaval and change, not always comfortable. We as human beings need to be ready on a conscious level. CONSCIOUS is the key word, as a race we have lived very unconsciously on many levels, it is time for each individual to take stock of what they are doing and how they are doing it. I know we all need to move forward now to become more aligned to our light Selves. This will greatly assist all of us who will be here during the changes that are coming. We need to be prepared to open to our connections to a greater part of ourselves and with this connection we will be able to move with the transition that is coming. There really is nothing to fear, but there is definitely a need to prepare ourselves energetically for this transition. There is tremendous support available at this time for our transformation. I am aware of the Spiritual realms and Pleiadians working together to assist us in this transformation. The Pleiadians see this book as an important tool that is needed to prepare us for these changes that are coming, to create a vehicle in which can begin to awaken so that we can consciously participate in this transformational time.

Kala: Are the Pleiadians the only group in contact with humanity or are there others? Are you in contact with other groups beyond the Pleiadians?

Christine: There are many groups assisting the earth at this time. Each group is working differently because there are many facets involved with the changes. But they are working collectively, in alignment with each other. The Spiritual realms are working along side all of these groups. Know there is one consciousness between them all, they all move together with one purpose. I personally am in contact with the Pleiadians and the spiritual realms.

Kala: Can you share some of your spiritual experiences from your journey in this lifetime and do you have memories of previous lifetimes with the Pleiadians?

Christine: My first spiritual awakening came at the age of 31. I had just been given a short time to live, I had advanced Systemic Lupus. I received an understanding at that time that I had created something to kill myself, and in the same moment understood that I could also create my own healing. I went home and knew I had to live differently somehow. Looking back I now understand that in that moment I actually took back my power, took back the responsibility to heal myself. Six months later I was meditating and suddenly I was filled with this amazing light and a healing process was given to me, it was as though I had studied something all my life and I new each aspect of it intimately. There was peace and love surrounding me. That was my first experience. In Israel at the Sea of Galilee I was visiting the town of Jesus, Capernaum. I was given a message to go down to the sea shore. I stood looking out into the water, in the distance I could see a figure walking towards me. The figure was walking on the water, there was light all around, it was Jesus. I stood watching him coming closer and closer, there was a tremendous love coming from him. I was sobbing from the intensity of love that was surrounding me. He came to me and put his hands on my head, he spoke telling me that I had to take myself off the cross, that I had put myself on the cross and I was the only one who could take myself off. That I had come to live my life and resurrect myself.

He spoke of the importance of love, and began to share with me about what love was and how I needed to bring the love to all that I worked with. He spoke of my mission here working with people and how important it was that I bring his message of self resurrection to them. I spent a few hours with Jesus that day. It was such a profound and emotional heart opening experience. It felt as though my heart had burst open, and I received tremendous healing from this encounter. Jesus visited me many times over a period of the next few years, always continuing to teach me about the truth, about self devotion, and living in a discipline of self love. I transformed each time he was with me. I was brought into a state of such peace and grace the time he spent with me. He still comes to me, mostly when I am working with groups of people. He is a gift in my life.

I was given guidance to go to Medjogoria in Bosnia, it is where Mother Mary has appeared to many.
It was an extremely cold day, with intense winds and black clouds filling the sky it was so dark almost like night fall was coming, yet it was mid morning. I asked myself, “What am I doing here?” I was told to walk up to the top of the mountain. This is the mountain that on a fine day thousands walk a path up to the top to receive a healing from Mother Mary, hoping that she will appear. That day not one person was on the path, the weather was so extreme with howling winds no one would even attempt to go onto the mountain. I knew I had to go, I dressed as warmly as I could and began the long slow climb upwards. It was freezing, the wind was so strong I knew I was going to be blown off at any moment. I was angry. When I finally got to the top the wind was so extreme I sat in the only place that could give me some safety and some relief from the cold and the wind. I sat in the base of a huge metal cross that exist at the top of this mountain. It was dark, I was freezing, I asked myself again, ”what was I doing here?” Suddenly there was a brilliant light, I looked up the black clouds had parted and there in the sky was Mother Mary, I was filled with this incredible warmth and love. She spoke to me, “ you need to know that I am here for you, it’s important that you understand that I am not here to assist you in your work I am here just for you, to hold you as your mother never held you. Call me and I will always be there.” Tears streamed down my face, I could barely breathe as her love poured into me, into my heart. I sat there filled with her warmth for a long time and then knew it was time to try and walk down the mountain.

My past lifetimes have never been revealed to me, I have been told they are unimportant to my process in this lifetime. All my beginning experiences as a child gave me enough to work on and move through in this lifetime. So I am unaware of having a previous lifetime with the Pleiadians.

Kala: What have the Pleiadians said about 2012 and the future in general?

Christine: I have been given an understanding firstly of the energetic changes that are taking place in 2012. There us a great importance placed on the need for the change of consciousness on this earth plane. We need to move into a CONSCIOUS state of living, that means that we live consciously with Spirit, we open consciously to being part of the oneness in the Universe, we open up to the inner connection of all human beings, and we begin to align to our natural spiritual natures. We are being asked to begin moving in this direction, towards awakening, so that we are able to align with these energetic changes.

The Pleiadians have anchored the energy of the Self Healing Prophecy in order for us to be ready for 2012 so we can meet the changes that are coming on an energetic level and on a physical level. They talk about the changing times involving earth changes, I don’t know when these dramatic earth changes will be taking place. They are beginning now, but the major changes that are coming, I don’t have a specific date. I have been shown that there will be big changes in the land forms, especially on the sea borders world wide. The earth will be going through a birth, energetic and physical, and at the same time we will be birthing into a new consciousness. Birth is never easy, but it is very worthwhile. We are all being held with love and given support in the midst of this change.

Kala: Thanks Christine for your time and sharing the message of the Pleiadians.

Christine: It is a great privilege to once again act as the Ambassador for the Pleiadians, I thank you for this opportunity.

2009: The Justice Tarot Year

February 15th, 2009 | Author: Guest

Be Sociable, Share!

beth_owls_daughter As you may know, the numerology of your birthday, or of a particular year, can correspond to the Tarot, particularly the Major Arcana (the trumps). Using this system, we can discover much about the traits and patterns that may be anticipated in a given year.

This year, 2009, would be 2+0+0+9 =11. So this is the Tarot Year of Justice. Or is it Strength?

One of the most controversial things that Arthur Waite did when he and Pamela Colman Smith created their new Tarot deck in 1909, was to switch the order of the Eight and the Eleven of the Major Arcana.

So for people who prefer other decks, this year is the Tarot year of Strength, and 2006 was the Justice year. To read about the attributes of the Strength year, you can visit here: http://www.owlsdaughter.com/article4.html

I believe it is worthwhile to bear the older order in mind, but by and large, I believe that we can anticipate a big year for Justice.

justice2 The Justice year always heralds a new beginning. After the many changes and turns of Fate in a Wheel of Fortune year as LAST YEAR was: http://www.owlsdaughter.com/wheelyeararticle.html it brings a much-needed time when we can adjust to and assimilate what has occurred.

In a Justice year, we need to evaluate wisely, determining what to keep in our lives, and what is no longer true or right for us. It is the opportunity to judge how we can restore balance and harmony.

If there is any single theme in a Justice year, it would be about choosing what is fair.. fair to us, and fair to the greater good of all. In the Rider-Waite-Smith deck, the Goddess Justitia sits on Her throne, without a blindfold, in order to see clearly the evidence and facts before Her. In a Justice year, clear-eyed evaluation and truth-telling is vital. Candor and scrupulous honesty will be essential.

Certainly, legal matters will be a priority, as well as issues having to do with finances, property, contracts and business or personal partnerships.

On the world stage, we can clearly see this in some of the most urgent matters on Barack Obama’s agenda, starting of course with the many complex facets of the economic crisis.

Other Justice issues on the national level will certainly involve the future of Guantanamo, the legal rights of detainees, undocumented immigration, civil liberties vs. the Patriot Act, the questions around last year’s dismissals of the U.S. Attorneys, as well as the numerous issues having to do with the Executive branch powers, and the Constitutional laws that have been tested under the Bush administration.

But beyond these thorny temporal matters, Justice is also about, as Tarot expert Rachel Pollack notes, the “psychic laws of Justice, by which we advance according to our ability to understand the past.” This is a time for karmic payback, which, sooner or later, always comes around.

This is not about punishment, but it is about adjustment. For better or worse, things will work out the way that they must. Balance must be restored, based on the decisions and actions that have been taken in the past.

Therefore I suggest that this be a major focus of your intention for the year ahead. Make sure that you are on the side of what is righteous and fair.

One area in which you can make an enormous difference is to be an activist for tolerance and justice. The days of bigotry and hatred can only truly come to an end when well-meaning people take action to defeat them at every opportunity.

Here are some excellent suggestions, from the SOUTHERN POVERTY LAW CENTER: http://www.splcenter.org/ a nationally recognized leader in the fight against hate crimes. You can help promote tolerance and justice for all:

* Speak up when you hear slurs. Let people know that bias speech is unacceptable. Apathy is as dangerous as hate.

* Cross social boundaries. Seek out opportunities to interact with people who are different from you, ex: eat lunch with someone new.

* Complain to the media outlets that promote stereotypes.

* Look inside yourself for hidden biases. You can even test yourself here.

* Encourage your local law enforcement officials to identify bias-motivated criminal acts as hate crimes.

You can even test yourself HERE: http://www.tolerance.org/hidden_bias/index.html

As we see the consequences of our previous choices, this year can bring us a golden opportunity to adjust our path forward accordingly. We can take this time to consider what our own right choices and preferences are, as well as what is truly right or wrong for the good of all.

It is up to us to wield the sword of Justice, in order to bring the scales back into balance. We must now do whatever is necessary, no matter how challenging, in order to gain, or re-gain equilibrium.

This may not always be an easy time, and certainly the lessons of the Strength Year may be needed. But the Justice Year promises to be a time when real wisdom and renewal are possible.
