Where has our future gone?
© Allan Webber (B.Sc, Grad Dip Ed Admin) - 2017

For the incomprehensible secrets of God and their efficient virtue depends on the long expansion of natural knowledge, deriving their origin from free will. They bring about the appearance of causes which of themselves could not attract enough attention to be known, neither by human augury, nor by any other hidden knowledge or virtue comprised under the concavity of heaven, even from the present fact of all eternity, which comes in itself to embrace all time.

But through some indivisible eternity and by means of Hiraclienne agitation the causes are made known alongside the celestial movement
. Nostradamus' Cesar Preface 1555 (PCE4)

My aims for this Paper.

As time passes I am increasingly aware of deeper aspects regarding Nostradamus' Prophecies than any direct reading can deliver. It is my desire to cover some of these properties since I am, due to my years of long research, in the privileged position of being the best person able to do so.

My findings challenge our current understanding of time but are explainable within the bounds of evolution of the physical and biological universe. As a result I am convinced that the contents of the Prophecies are not a legacy of Nostradamus or unusual spirits. They are the works of future beings whose evolution has bridged the concept of time in a way seemingly impossible to humans.

The beings Nostradamus refers to as his source are not our ancestors, nor ancient spirits based in the past, they are what some of the current genetic strains of life will become. They bridge time, both past and future, and to them there is no such distinction. If you re-read the quote from Nostradamus given above you will see he makes a similar claim.

The above interpretation arises from considering evolution's momentum which suggests beings will emerge that interact with a broader range of time than we do.

As a logical consequence we can know such beings have the ability to be present in our time. And Nostradamus' writings indicate that he not only understood this fact but was able to utilize their presence. (See author's paper called An essay on the aliens already shaping man's destiny for more on this theme).

In order to establish the rationality of this proposition I need to embrace the difficulties others will justifiably have due to the normal human conditioning about reality and time. These difficulties are based in our experience of time as covering a little of the past and a minute part  of the future when in reality all we experience is one moment in time followed by another.

The conclusions I will progress towards through this chapter indicates the presence of future beings stretch back way before our time and that of Nostradamus to the times of primitive humans, ancient civilizations.  And if this is the case then we may be in a better position to understand some of the wonders of our ancestor’s most remarkable achievements.

And the conclusions I will present gain reinforcement from bizarre aspects we of the modern age have observed in birds, animals and other life forms. My paper on aliens mentioned above gives much of the external evidence that supports the proposition since my main source for this paper lies within Nostradamus' Prophecies.

The world inhabited by Nostradamus had no way of understanding a large part of ours since the common language of our time had no reason to exist in the sixteenth century. Yet without the language base a person seeing the future would quickly miss the point and the significance of much of what they were experiencing.

Of the barriers that isolated the 16th century from ours the strongest dealt with the issues of time and the place of humans in the order of the world.

Throughout past time since the beginning of the universe there was no better mechanism than imaginative stories to describe the nature of our world and so, in the sixteenth century, people had no reason to question the accounts given by ancient people who had faced the same problems of origin as they. The world had a definable and very limited time space, creatures were either born or created by spontaneous generation and the explanation lay in an active creator who ensured the perfection of all.

To realize the reality of this particular world is essential to evaluating Nostradamus' Prophecies since it shapes the conflict Nostradamus would have faced if he could see into the future.

What is known today means no rational human can hold to views, myths and legends that were shaped in the absence of knowledge especially where these beliefs contradict what can now be easily seen. There are many examples I could use but one is enough. It is irrational to believe as many ancient people did that the earth is stationary and the sun and stars all go around it. Yet to see the future from the modern perspective a sixteenth century viewer such as Nostradamus must either turn to denial of what he sees or grapple with what seems incomprehensible.

Even today we have many of the same barriers to understanding. When you walk into a room the marvelous powers of sight and memory create a world that seems real but it can be flawed because of how our personal past shapes what is useful to us. For instance we know we can look at things but not notice all that's there. You may see all things but your mind shapes all that enters and stores what its past suggests will be necessary or useful.

And in judging what we see there is a mechanical bias. A lifetime of mind-training experiences provides us with a virtual world by which to judge reality and if there is something out of place it can easily be missed. And shadows that have been removed from pictures are seen by us because our mind expects them to be there.

These difficulties of perception and understanding are all issues that would have affected Nostradamus' view of our world unless you believe he was unlike any human that has ever lived. Yet this was not his view of himself.

 Not that I wish to attribute to myself either the name or the role of a prophet, but (rather rely on) inspired revelation, like any man whose senses are no less distant from heaven than his feet are from the ground..Nostradamus' Cesar Preface 1555 (PCE5)

It is common for people to read into Nostradamus every possible event that is occurring in their lives but it is impossible for the Prophecies to carry the vast amount of information for every minute event that has occurred since Nostradamus put pen to paper.

This however is not an issue since Nostradamus didn't write for trivial titillation or to prove a point, he wrote the work because he was a single human shaped into a world view that was uniquely his own. His interests, his biases shape the verses but they are transformed by his encounters with his source. The dilemma of future seeing that he likely faced was that he saw things that were not credible to a normal person in the period that he lived. Such seeing then and now must depend on the other part of the process, a being that has presence in the future.

C1 Q2
The wand in the hand is placed in the middle of the branches
With water he sprinkles the hem of his garments
A voice, fear he trembles in his robes.
Divine splendor; the God sits nearby.

The interchange between future being and a sixteenth century man would have faced many hurdles. Physical images of war and nuclear bombs would translate quite well into pictures seen as though through a hazy mirror but evolution and genetic concepts would not be so easily conveyed. The latter rely on complex layers of knowledge even though for the most part the most important results are much the same, living things are created, grow old and die.

Yet the lack of the conceptual genetic ideas of modern times is what really distinguished the sixteenth century from our own age.

Modern scientific discussions would have presented great difficulty for Nostradamus since the technological language we use throughout the world didn't exist and had no reason to exist in the 16th century. His written ideas of what he had seen would be distorted into that which made some sense but his writings were no longer his alone because the presence of the future being didn't end with the dream.

It would be foolish to assume that Nostradamus could evoke an inert servant from the future prepared to show him that for which his sixteenth century' soul craved and yet deliver him unmarked, unbent by the mission of his visitor.

An early verse shows this influence though a mix of words that hint at a half-seen, little understood future while underneath its lettering lies a meaning well beyond sixteenth century understanding. Within the anagrams there are terms such as prescient seeing, interspecies, eugenist and Lucashenca all able to be linked into the future when genetic experimentation begins and tests go awry.

C1 14
From the enslaved populace, songs, chants and demands
while Princes and Lords are held captive in prison
These in the future by headless idiots
will be received as divine prayers.

De gent eſclaue chanſons chants et requeftes
Captifs par Princes et Seigneur aux prisons
A l'aduenir par idiotz ſans teſtes
Seront receus par diuines oraiſons.

The anagrams from which the understanding of this verse will emerge include:

gene set Lucashenca son (e gen - t eſ  - claue chanſ - ons), sons chant request (ſons - chant -s et requ),
prescient seeing war prisons pacts (Princes et - Seigne -ur au -x prison -s Capt), interspecies Wagner prix (Princes et Sei - gneur au - x pri),
stateless a ruined pair (s teſtes A l' - a - duenir - par i),
aversion is cornerstones upraised (uines ora- iſ  - ones Sarong rec - emus par di), encaptures diviner (nt receus pa - r diuine),
Noahs, cleanest, castle, neglects, Athens, atlases, threatens, chastens, entices, eugenist, ascriptions, narcosis, persistence, adulates, unsalaried, tests, rapid, assents, unripe, session, radii, centre.

Elemental Patterning in the universe.

In moving to an understanding of how future-seeing might be possible there is a recent understanding of science patterning that is crucial.

The pattern in the anagrams within Nostradamus' Prophecies can of course be by chance alone but to dismiss them for that factor is to miss one of the most significant recognitions our time has made.

This involves recognition of patterning that places our understanding of the universe upon a different plane to that of our own parent's time. It is the concept of fractals and this takes us away from the idea that was dominant up until the end of the 20th century. It was firmly believed by scientists that mechanical solutions described all events that occurred in the universe and accordingly a formula or equation for all happenings would eventually be found.

Yet such a rigid view is no longer accepted; there is another aspect of the universe that can bring about change. The need for this mechanism can commonly be seen in nature especially where there is evolutionary change. For instance it is readily apparent to all that nature has built its products in a way that enable many to camouflage themselves by taking on the coloring and patterns in their environment.

Although evolution since Darwin's time has implied it is survival of the fittest such a concept glosses over the complexities of changing DNA over what must be a huge time to achieve such a match. Yet there are common patterns and not only do they appear in evolutionary creatures but in both non-living things and more conceptual creations such as mathematics.

Fractal images interact with nature.

It is not by chance that mathematics and nature create such similarities for they both rely on boundary properties and all the external and internal forces that interplay within it. Space is not a blank canvas but a unique diaphragm imprinted for the possible. And it is through such subtle effects as shadow patterns that memory has something on which to build and evolution the means to incorporate what seems the work of craftsmen.

This mechanism having been formulated in the mathematical context has not yet been presented to the man in the street in a form that reveals its significance to our future understanding of the building blocks of the universe in which we temporarily exist. However it is essential to realize such a change in thinking is current in science in order to appreciate how future-seeing might take place within the minds of living things.

A further issue of importance is to realize how our views of science aren't free of other constraints.

As already stated the sixteenth century was so different from our own time that it inevitably places huge questions on how much anyone of that era could have foreseen about evolution and the nature of time. To people today it might seem that we are not held back by the same barriers but nonetheless there are attitudinal, traditional and new-think attitudes that shape our thinking.

Science, enlightened as it has the capacity to be, is not immune from this same restriction for its members are human. Accordingly, the greatest ignorance of our time is still based around our perception of our place in the universe.

This bias isn't an overt thing but a hidden set of values that make us smug about those gifts nature has bestowed on us. So we are seduced into believing our cleverness can never be surpassed. If not seduced then perhaps engulfed by the bliss of sleep within which the future is wrongly perceived as being full of us. The reality is the future will inevitably sideline mankind. Evolution doesn't stop with humans and our species has no guaranteed place as chief ruler of anything that matters.

It isn't that man has to disappear quickly but we can be assured that in a million years from now evolution will still exist but mankind will not.

However evolution will not waste our existence since its future patterns will embrace the things that set us apart; we are after all but a practicing blip in a much longer running process. 

This belief in our supremacy is a sad ignorance, a human arrogance and because of it many assume we know what form the definitive evolutionary path will take. But there other arrogances one of which is that we might be alone in appreciating what unthinking, amoral, evolution has achieved.

When we remove such constraints then Nostradamus' contribution to these issues is surprising since he seems to reflect on the achievements of life itself and sees the past as our guide to the surprises held in the future of the universe.

Modern mankind is most at ease in the development of the mechanics of things rather than the origin of concepts. Yet it is concepts that most differentiate mankind from all other living things. Over many millennia we have built trees of knowledge that places every living thing in a line representing time. Such trees are common and these charts allow modern humans to represent the many stories of the evolving universe.

But where in your current experience do you see the tree of concepts, a recognition that concepts evolve? Where on the line of universal time did awareness first occur? Was it with the start of matter, life or even later? In our understanding of the world we are the first beings to be aware of the universe and its creation, yet awareness may well have been inherent in all living things and it seems remiss of us to ignore such a fundamental sequence of change. See my paper on The Evolution of Concepts for more.

And critical to awareness is memory which is a subsequent concept that also evolved. It began in our distant past after time itself was formed.

The only evidence we have suggests time as we know it began as one of the building blocks enabling our universe to exist. Yet it is treated like an eternal thing that can be taken for granted. As a result time marks the watershed of modernity since up to this time it has remained the most mysterious element associated with the creation of the universe.

Yet to me time is more than a watermark, it is true it is a reflection of that which makes the universe exist but it is a concept that evolves whenever continuity occurs. And it lasts only as long as continuity thrives.

This origin of time then means memory wouldn't have occurred in that first instant for it involves a period where two points can be related not just an instant. And this indicates memory began as a later spur on the trunk of the tree tracing the history of time itself.

And the branch containing the history of memory begins with residual impacts accompanying physio-chemical events. And like all evolutionary things its attributes grew ever larger as the universe evolved.

The Evolutionary Tree of Concepts We humans hold a well-advanced form of memory but it isn't likely to be where this process ends. Memory will do as it has always done progress towards a fuller incorporation of the time-potentials of our universe.

So I am claiming there is a tree of concepts that has not yet been explored and the concept of evolution, like time, is one of those relevant to our understanding of all the others.

I have long believed that evolution evolves and that it is as natural as the concept itself that this should happen. Yet the stages even in a static concept of evolution will embrace continuity. And its movement will always be towards abilities that release the full potential of the universe. And it cannot do everything at once. There has to be a progression from simplicity to what is an ever increasing simplified-complexity. Our senses are the product of such a process, beginning with residuals induced within physio-chemical boundaries that from then on progress to the miraculous sensory array displayed throughout all of nature.

And the perspective of each sensory being in this evolution carries an important check that humankind would be wise to note.

From the first worm's eye view man was never a likely outcome of future evolution. There has never been a worm or any other creature that had a sensory means of knowing humans would follow its first appearance on the planet. When worms first came into being they had newly acquired abilities that set them above all species that had come before yet those senses it had could provide no framework for perceiving the sensory powers that would evolve. A worm could not perceive there ever being a way of as seeing, hearing, walking, talking or conceptually thinking.

The above reference to worms is not a trivial diversion for it sets our own dilemma since we cannot know what potentials of the universe exist outside the senses that evolution has delivered us.

It would be arrogant to believe that electromagnetic forces, gravitation or even thought patterns tell us all there is to know about the universe's potential. We are not gods and can never approach full awareness of this universe of ours.

But we are currently amongst the most fortunate of beings for we are capable of being aware of more of the universe than any creatures that have existed previously on this planet. Life is a gift, generated by evolution and although gifted by continuity it is still marred by the constraints of momentary time that led to us being here at all.

However we can know that time is one of the potentials that evolution has exploited. It did destroy the full limitations of unitary time, that instance which is the total that time itself can offer. And it did so through exploiting continuity in the set of concepts that came with the package we call our home. Mass, energy, space and time are the potentials that came with the birth of our universe and each of them is part of the continuous expansion phenomenon that is the fabric of the universe's being.

I have little doubt that Nostradamus grappled with these ideas as indicated by his thoughts in his 1555 Cesar Preface (PCE10):

How then do these ambiguous opinions exceeding all Mahommedan dreams arise by natural reasons, when God the Creator is timeless; it is by the minister of his messengers of fire. The missive is in their burning flame which comes to offer us external reference. Similarly our eyes then become causes of future prediction, signifying future cases that must occur to him that presages.

Because the exterior light which brings the presage infallibly judges its parts, so truly [is it judged] that the parts seem to use the eye for understanding, which is the purpose of this imaginative lesion. The reason for this is too obvious, since all is predicted by god's outflow, and it is by means of Angelic spirit that the man prophesying is inspired. This means that the prophecies are illuminated in layers starting with the emotions at the front of his fantasies. By various nocturnal visions it is prophesied and made certain by conjoint astronomical calculations administered in the day. Thereby this is a sanctified prediction of the future with no consideration from elsewhere that is based on free will.

It is apparent Nostradamus was grappling with mechanisms that bridge time eternal and temporal and this implies he saw time as being different to how modern man views it. But although we have found no hard evidence it is not outside the bounds of what we know about the way evolution works. Already we know that evolution has found a way to recover the past even though it no longer exists. Our brains show that we can recall the past and have learnt to exploit that ability to be versatile, active and able to survive.

Learning is another concept amongst the higher order of evolutionary life mechanisms but it too has ancient primitive roots. But humans go much further with their association with the past. Through our observations of stars we see things that happened trillions of years ago as though they were happening now. Other animals may see the same spots of light held in the sky but to them stars are temporal objects, part of their immediate world and nothing more.

We do have abilities that set us apart. We understand the origins of things. Ancient bones, tree rings, layers of ash, silt and clay and shells found in rocks high up in mountains. All these are things that were seeable but meaningless mysteries in Nostradamus' day. But people of the 16th century had the same set of abilities. However it is apparent that as time passes humankind has unlocked more and more of the potential this universe has to offer. Evolution has taken us on this journey of bridging present time with the past. Yet even now it has gone further than bridging past and present.

All living things have the ability to trespass in the future. Reaction time is one such mechanism that transforms the present into anticipation of what is about to happen. But memory helps achieve the same end so we can take the past to tell us how the future will unfold. Natural rhythms such as the motions of the sun and planets allow us to have high expectation of how their location will change and we use this knowledge with great belief the sun will rise tomorrow, the spring will come and the seasons will follow. 

Our calendars are based on knowledge of how the continuities of time and movement can be exploited but similar and even better mechanisms of tracking time are common amongst the living of this world.

Moths emerge in their season; each butterfly knows the sequence of its role when it emerges from its cocoon. And your body changed as you grew up. With remarkable precision your fingers grew, your eyes began to process light, your brain began to let you take back some control. Each step in time for every living thing represents a movement along a programmed sequence between conception and death. Your beginning holds your future.

And even the most primitive of life contains sophisticated ways by which it anticipates what it must do to prolong the time between creation and demise.

However in regard to future seeing once again modern man has moved further than most along the evolutionary scale. We can know the amount of un-decayed atoms there will be in radioactive materials for periods millions of years ahead of our time. We can know the fate of our sun and other components of the universe. No other animal on this planet has or can equal these achievements. And it is these superior exploitations of time and continuity that breed man's arrogance as to what can and cannot be.

So once again we should note we are not gods but mortal men with debts owed to evolution and the remarkable powers of life that allow it to bridge seemingly impassable discontinuities. Evolution, continuity and time are some of the means which ensure there will appear higher forms than us and beyond them higher forms again. By this we do know that at the time the universe dies the evolutionary forms will have transcended way beyond the dimensions man now knows.

So we are not the ultimate object of creation but a product of an eternal process that stamps us with a use-by date. This is not a fate that we can avoid for it is a chain and our place in that chain came about by the same forces that will make us obsolete. However we are here and we are now, we are the keepers of a process that is indestructible.

It is as though the universe is an egg and we but a self defining patterned thread immersed deep within that which it will become. We are part of the future no matter what our short-term fate but what a gift we have been given since in the meantime we are able to enjoy the here and now that we love so well and speculate on things yet to pass. But this is not a gift demanding gratitude, servitude or purpose, it is what it is and no more, a fortunate place along an impassionate, natural chain.

And it is in this latter understanding that Nostradamus' work seems to have much to offer. Not only did he grapple with these ideas but he talked as though there was an interchange occurring, one that drew a divine presence into the temporal plane. This could make sense if evolution does proceed along the path of expanding the capacity of future beings to traverse time. If this were so it need not breach any laws since we go back in time when we dig up fossils without altering what happens to history beyond that point.

If time is eternal and there is a path for time participation beyond that of modern man then it is likely there will be beings in our future that can leave impressions in our minds. The time gap until it occurs may be immense but it would make no difference for all of eternity would be accessible by that being. This would certainly fit Nostradamus' proposed model of a divine influence on the layers of his mind.

But if this is a possible path then there is inevitably evidence existent of that capability in the present and past histories of humankind. This would certainly explain the patterning I find in Nostradamus' work and it could also explain the seemingly prescient frame that evolution has offered from the very onset of time, the ability to tap natural designs that enable its progress.

Add to this the realm of inspiration and genius and it is possible that we draw strength from other sources that are outside but accessible to humans. Evolution has delivered what seems like miracles before and we know it works. So if there is ever a future in which beings evolve with the potential to make the time dimension eternal then patterning from that future presence can exist in our current day.

I like this thought that we look to the future for our inspiration and for learning of those potentials of the universe that are available to us here and now. It transforms the basis of religion with the future not the past becoming our source of all that can be good.

How is it that the eternal God is the only one that knows the eternity of its light, proceeding from himself? And [in response] I say frankly that is to those whom he wants to reveal his long inspired melancholy in all its immeasurable, incomprehensible magnitude, that are subject thereof to hidden causes manifested divinely.

They are mainly of two major causes, which are confined to the mind of the inspired one who prophesies. One of these allows the clarity of the supernatural light to infuse the character who predicts by the doctrine of the stars and the other enables the prophesies to become inspired revelation. All of which is certainly the participation of the divine eternity, by means of which the Prophet comes to judge that his divine spirit has been given to him by means of God the creator, and a natural incitement.

This is [the way] to know that what is predicted is true and has its origin ethereally placed. And such light and emergent flame is very effective. And its altitude is no less than the natural clarity and natural light that makes the philosophers assured that only with the principles of the first cause can they enter into the deeper chasms of the highest doctrines...Nostradamus' Cesar Preface 1555 (PCE7)

An important dimension to acknowledge in respect to this relation is the inequality between the parties. The future being is the one that is all knowing not the human recipient and the imprint of their interaction on the future is predetermined as being what is true.

Nostradamus acknowledged the bridge for understanding time that he and the divine one used in their communications. He restates many times they employed a date system based on the eternal stars since their unique locations was the key understandable from both standpoints of eternal and temporal time.

The position of the stars is then the eternal clock, the bridge to understanding for beings that experience the passage of time as well as those where time has one size which is the duration of the universe. 

So Nostradamus' visions were accompanied by images of the stars and by their locations he calculated the date they represented.

For the incomprehensible secrets of God and their efficient virtue depends on the long expansion of natural knowledge, deriving their origin from free will. They bring about the appearance of causes which of themselves could not attract enough attention to be known, neither by human augury, nor by any other hidden knowledge or virtue comprised under the concavity of heaven, even from the present fact of all eternity, which comes in itself to embrace all time. But through some indivisible eternity and by means of Hiraclienne agitation the causes are made known alongside the celestial movement...Nostradamus' Cesar Preface 1555 (PCE7)

This means that the prophecies are illuminated in layers starting with the emotions at the front of his fantasies. By various nocturnal visions it is prophesied and made certain by conjoint astronomical calculations administered in the day...Nostradamus' Cesar Preface 1555 (PCE10)
