Nostradamus C6 Q83: The ritual for investigating mutations in human learning.

 Nostradamus C6 Q83: The ritual for investigating mutations in human learning.

1st May 2015: This is the fourth verse in the series on how Nostradamus used emotions as part of his ritual to engage with his source and to then recall it for entry into his prophecies.

Over the years in which I have worked on Nostradamus' prophecies I have not reached a state where there are no new pleasures for I am constantly surprised at the extent to which these works fit in unexpected twists to my hypotheses. This verse is part of my series on the use of emotional devices Nostradamus used to create his prophecies. In order to progress my work I have deliberately chosen verses that I have not presented in full. The reason they have been ignored is that they didn't fit into the themes already established so I expected them to be difficult to interface however their links are strong and it is between themselves that it is strongest.

This was the third verse that I set out to present and I did so because it followed a different path to those already presented. Its interest came from the first line where there are anagrams for retraces (r et care$) and encounter (onneur et c) but amongst the anagrams in the verse there was also blue  Aquilege glade (de la G- ule B - elgique A) and this is a blue flower found in meadows and woodlands. In the previous verse (C6 Q72) of this series I had already found references to a violet flame and seen its alchemical significance so I felt comfortable with the strange reference. But I had begun my analysis for this analysis without regard to the text and when I focussed on the visible verse I gave a mild gasp of pleasured surprise for the last line contains reference to the flower.

And there are other anagrams that fit into the pattern of emotional stress being used to create resonances with past events and these include resonant (A $on entr) and neuron together with a full line of adjacent anagrams that say prefers a maps events attend duress   (es Vn te -mps a -pres fer -a -tant de - rude$$).

So this verse establishes its right to be considered a part of Nostradamus' explanation of his rituals and we might therefore anticipate that there will be a link to a God that refrences his theme  and in this regard the anagram for (A $on en) becomes relevant.

[Oannes] is described as dwelling in the Persian Gulf, and rising out of the waters in the daytime and furnishing mankind instruction in writing, the arts and the various sciences.

The validity of this name is backed by anagrams such as  ancestor (t $era con) quill (lliqu) and learnt (ntre a l). So as with the previous verse our attention is directed to the negative emotions of fear and hate but in this case the subject matter is human learning and literature. And the choice of blue and violet sets a spectral pattern where the violet flame of Spiritual transformation stands above the blue representing acquired knowledge.

The modern story hidden in the anagram reflects the tone of the text since it concerns a war involving a person whose stated aims are peaceful but which turns to betrayal of people of tolerance and learning. The anagrams that form the backbone to this tale include:

ancestor, un-flatterable, quill, truncheoned, un-enthroned, prefers, queerest, creatures, caresses, Oannes, aquose, Aquilege, belt, refutal, retraces, quay, encounter, recasts, understated, events, resonant, duress, neuron, aflare, alfa, retardant, libel, batten, un-throned.

Centuries.6 Quatrain.83
Original Verse in English and French (Benoit Ed.)

He who will have so much honor and flattery
At his entry into Belgian Gaul
A while after he will act very rudely,
And he will act very warlike against the flower.

Celuy qu'aura tant d'honneur et care$$es
A $on entree de la Gaule Belgique
Vn temps apres fera tant de rude$$es
Et $era contre a la fleur tant bellique
