Debunking the myth of Nostradamus
I read the works of many ancient Greek philosophers, in my youth. These men were intellectually brilliant, even by the standards of today, and I've always assumed that they knew their myths of Zeus and all the other gods were nothing but fairy tales. Now I am not so sure. When faced with the unknown, the human mind seems to want to accept the fiction as reality. Thus the ancient Greeks may have believed their myths facts are reflected actually occurred.
Mythology did not end in ancient times. As discussed below, re-emerged in full bloom during the Renaissance, Regarding Michel Nostradamus, the seer's most famous story. Today, you may find that the mythology around the Internet, everyone who claims to be the true story of Nostradamus and his prophecies. I recently searched Google the predictions of Nostradamus 2012 and has nearly a million results. In the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, Nostradamus was as much a scam to make money as it is today.
Scam artists, then, as now, usually resort to all kinds of media unethical to make money. Throughout the seventeenth century, who made all of the following: he wrote a fictional biography of Nostradamus, altered or created records of the city and University to support the fictional biography, published almanacs of Nostradamus predictions adding just written, wrote books and falsely attributed unprophetic Nostradamus, wrote letters and a last will and testament and falsely attributed to Nostradamus, and published his prophecies retroactive to the dates of these publications at or near the time of Nostradamus. Beyond the facts found in the original tombstone of Nostradamus "on the show and some information, almost nothing about Nostradamus be taken for certain. What we know about Nostradamus and his prophecies is overwhelmingly mythology.
All the encyclopedias say Nostradamus prophecies began publishing in 1555, often citing Bonhomme edition showing this date, but apparently nobody bothered to take a close look to that edition. In 1594, a charlatan by the name of Chavigny (perhaps also the author of the biography of fiction), has modified some of the prophecies to meet their needs. Bonhomme's edition copies of the alterations. How could it have been printed in 1555? Moreover, Benoist Rigaud, the supposed printer complete 1568 edition, has printed a couple of editions of the prophecies, both dated 1596.
The period that followed the death of Nostradamus was a moment of important religious conflict in France. Remember the slaughter of St. Bartholomew the day. Spread superstition, and if these prophecies were available, both parties certainly have used them for propaganda purposes. However, there seems to be no record of that. Many experts have researched the early history of the prophecies and have nothing to report. From a reliable source you can not find a quote from a verse of one of the 942 prophecies or even a comment on one of the prophecies. There are references Nostradamus and his almanacs, but not to the prophecies. During the life of Nostradamus and for twenty years, the famous prophecies were unknown in France.
A breakthrough in the mystery of the publication began with a thorough analysis of some of the first publications genuine, ie, editions of Roger, Rossett, and Menier, all which were printed in Paris towards the end of the 1580s. These editions contain huge textual alterations, removal and replacement of whole stanzas, all sequences that are integrally tied with a book called Sefer Yetzirah. The Sefer Yetzirah, meanwhile, was the oldest known text of a medieval religion of Kabbalah.
Kabbalists thrived in the country of Provence, Nostradamus' homeland, at the time of the troubadours. There was also a large community of Kabbalists in Spain. Towards the end of the fifteenth century, things were going badly for the Kabbalists. The Kabbalists of Spain were expelled from that country in 1492, shortly before the time enough to emigrate to the New World. In Provence, now part of France, Kabbalists were also given the option to convert to Catholicism or leave the country. Unlike their counterparts in Spain, the Kabbalists of Provence had a special reason to stay in that country. Openly converted to Catholicism but then took Underground Kabbalah. Catholics per day, at night, continued their old traditions.
Everything I say here about the Kabbalah course presumably pure conceded that there is historical evidence that an existing underground religion in France during the sixteenth century. However, this was the environment in which Michel de Nostre-Dame grew. It seems that Michel was recognized as the most intelligent of the group and therefore he was chosen to devote his life to studying the ancient texts of the Kabbalah.
One of the brothers of Nostradamus was a grain dealer (the traditional family business of Nostredame), who traveled to Egypt. Others in the community may also have been traders, also pitching to help keep Nostradamus. There is evidence that one of his trips to Egypt, the brother of Nostradamus' brought a young enthusiast with the name of Isaac Luria, who aspired to study Kabbalah in Nostradamus. Luria came from a wealthy family and may have provided additional financial support for Nostradamus.
This leads to the largest of all the myths of Nostradamus, which is the myth that Nostradamus wrote a book of astrological predictions. Not at all. Book of Nostradamus is a religious text, published only under the guise of astrology for his own protection. I'll clarify that: the famous book of prophecies and masks at the same while incorporating the translation of an ancient text, as the Koran for Muslims, was the central text of a religion. That the ancient text, which means the fundamentals of religion, sometimes referred to as the book of light and sometimes as the Apocalypse of Elijah. There are indications that the word "Kabbalah", "reception" now the name of all religion, was in the early days the biggest name of the book that hidden Nostradamus book.
