Nostradamus Hurricane Katrina
Understanding Change and the Future of the World—April Showers Bring May Flowers—Possible Outcomes of Adversity
Recently, many friends have expressed the pain and turmoil they have been experiencing as of late. They are struggling financially, emotionally and in their relationships. Each feels as if severe storms are occurring in their lives.
I myself have had many doubts and frustrations that seem to be hitting me from out of the blue. These things are no different than they were a year ago, yet it seems worse now. Does this scenario of doubt and fear sound familiar to you?
How many of you have heard that the year 2012 is the year the world will end? It seems that theme is very prolific today. Television shows are investigating this idea. Just one example comes from The History Channel. It currently has been airing a show entitled ‘The Nostradamus Effect.‘ The show explores different spiritual Predictions, all seeming to converge in 2012, or specifically, on December 21, 2012. There is evidence, according to the ancient Mayan civilization, that their complex calendar ends on this date. Many assume the date predicts the end of the world.
Even the Bible foretells of certain catastrophic events that will foreshadow ‘the end of days.’ Many biblical scholars believe that being played out before our very eyes are the warnings spelled out in the Book of Revelation. Indeed, even ancient Hopi Indian prophesies seem to be occurring. However, is the world really ending?
Just as with normal weather patterns, all of us go through storms in our lives. After the Katrina Hurricane hit the Gulf Coast of the United States in August 2005, many people lost their homes, causing drastic changes in their lives. In order to survive, huge numbers of these people had to relocate to completely different states of the country.
Countless friends in the metaphysical community attribute the current disturbing climate to astrological changes in the universe. While this may be the case, can you consider the possibility of divine intervention with regard to those changes? Why would that be?
Using the analogy of the storm, we see that many times we have to change in order to deal with the aftermath of a storm. These are opportunities to clear the skies after the rain, chances for renewal. Perhaps the ‘April showers’ you are experiencing right now are just divine influence to force you to change your thinking.
Might you consider that instead of a physical ending of the earth as we know it, alternatively, the world could be going through a spiritual transformation? Moreover, things could be amok because any kind of change is turbulent, as a person’s known comfort level is uprooted.
Yes, there could be many natural disasters associated with change. However, it is my observation that the world will not end in 2012, but instead is awakening to a new spiritual understanding of God and the universe. Therefore, do not fret about the current showers that may be occurring in your life. Instead, look to the future and see the beautiful flowers that can grow out of the storms of your life. Storms can be scary. However, the beauty rising up afterwards can be more memorable than the storm. Why not allow your garden of flowers to spread, giving sweet fragrance to all?

Are Nostradamus’ predictions real? If so, have most of them come true?
I was reading this book about Nostradamus Prophecies, and i was wondering if they were really real, and if most of them came true. Did he really predict 9/11, the tsunami, hurricane Katrina, the financial crisis, and the US/Iraqi war?
thanks guys!
I believe his prophecies have mostly come true; I feel of all the psychics in the world in history he is the most credible and believable. his quatrains have kept me up many nights. Scarier than the Book of Revelations.
He had to be careful when he wrote them because in his time he could have been tortued and killed for his gifts of prophecy which would have been taken for witchcraft so he deliberaly obfuscated his words and also used a mirror to wrtie them backwards. He prophesied his own death and the desecration of his grave:
There was a legend that whoever drank from the skull of Nostradamus would inherit his incredible powers. But for 200 years his grave had remained undisturbed because the legend also said that whoever did so, would immediately die. One night, at the height of the French Revolution, three drunken soldiers set out to test the legend.
It was not the skeleton that suddenly sobered the soldiers, but the plaque around its neck, with the date: May 1791, which could only have been placed there at the time of burial in 1566, Nostradamus had predicted, 200 years before, the exact date when his body would be dug up.”
Anyway one of the soldiers poured some wine into the skull and took a swig. As he did so, a shot rang out, and he dropped, dead as well as drunk.
John Waters, who fronted this program (and also the 1979 edition), appeared (in his 1979 incarnation) and said;
“The shot that killed that soldier was fired from the riot of the surrounding French Revolution. A stray bullet. A freak accident that fulfilled the legend of Nostradamus. Nostradamus. What kind of a man was he, who predicted the date of the desecration of his own grave?”

We who populate this planet have been on a continual quest to understand the future by studying the past. There have been significant events in Earths history that seem to point to a definite and well-defined outcome in the future…..well-defined maybe to those who can “see” future Predictions. For the rest of us who lack End Of The World Prophecy vision, there are numerous sources of information to help us understand (and hopefully avoid the dangers of) End Of The World Predictions of worldwide catastrophe.
