How would you know? You haven't been replying to anyone so you can hardly 'retire' from doing so. Quoting someone and then typing a heap of mostly off-topic nonsense underneath the quote isn't replying, it's spamming, or something. Take this for example: And that was followed up with a random AC/DC music clip! Or this mess: Pouting, semi-literate rubbish, unrelated in any way to your alleged topic and displaying an utter lack of anything like the language skills necessary to even understand and translate Nossie's quatrains, let alone glean any prophetic meaning from them and convey that meaning to others. The most you appear to have achieved so far is to identify a few real places that Nossie mentioned, done a bit of Googling and posted the results as some kind of evidence of prophecy. "Everything is Prophetic"??? Drivel. |

Okay, I think I've interpreted this one
Line 1 - This is an agreement that conjugation is important Line 2 - This a a reference to a music group The Echoes and their soon to be release album Feel The Vibrations Line 3 - Obvious reference to flaming vodka shots. Analysis - this is a prediction that some English Lit undergrads will be having a party, drinking vodka and talking shop sometime soon. |

Wait, didn't Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch release "Feel the Vibration"?
Edit: Oops. It was "Good Vibrations" |

Well show us something...anything!
What you have posted on this thread to date would keep the Rose Garden at Werribee Park Mansion fed for three years. Why not, you know actually say something intelligent. You are the one who claims to be the prophet or know what the prophet nosti is saying. Why are you so utterly incapable of expaining even ONE of his so called prophesies? I could guess why, I already have. And you cannot even keep your own word.

Rwash, nobody besides you in this thread believes that Nostradmaus offers any truth that you might use to help others. And they have shown you why no predictive truth can be found in Nostradamus. I am glad you bumped Fiona's quote - it was a good one. I want to keep discovering the best ideas about this world we live in until the day I depart it.

If you want to help others, go volunteer at a soup kitchen, Boys and Girls Club, or a hospice. You will help many more there than you ever would by trying to interpret Nostradamus.
I admire your wish to help people. I really do. I'm just saying, there are many more effective ways to do it. |

Your posts tend to be chock-full of spelling mistakes and generally tortured grammar. This is nothing to be ashamed of, particularly if English is not your first language, but that still doesn't explain why you don't avail yourself of a spell checker? It speaks to a general intellectual laziness that does your cause no good, especially when you are attempting to portray yourself as a master of parsing the obscure English translations of an already obscure French text. In other words, why should anyone take your language interpretation skills seriously when you can't seem to express yourself clearly/accurately in your own words? Imagine someone coming here who claimed that they were an expert on the history of computing, but had never heard of Charles BabbageWP or Alan TuringWP. It would be quite difficult to take the opinions of such a person seriously, wouldn't it? Again, you are a talented artist, but alas, you are no polymathWP*. Have the courage and objectivity to recognize that and concentrate on the field you actually do have genuine talent in. It was one of Picasso's great regrets that he wasn't as well regarded as a writer of plays as he was as a painter, but I thinks that speaks more to his enormous ego than it does to his talents as a playwright. *Neither am I, as it happens. I'm not happy about it, but I do accept it. |

I believe it is necessary to know past present and future. Its important to understand what conciousness level nostradamus is on.
These are Events. Events that take place in our humanity. Events that forever change the world. psychological, geographical. What is more important than Nostradamus really? I feel in my heart, within these works contains goodness. Understanding prophetic nature is important even in our modern times. Devotion is the best type of love there is. If I could spend my days researching every aspect of these. If I could look at the books like Orus Apollo. Not only Nostradamus but I feel, even though I am not possessed with these highsighted knowledge like mediums, or prophets. Dosnt mean I cant read or analyze them and interpret them wisely or even correctly. For the past year I have been engadging in. Perpetual Concept. Like Nostradamus, he speaks of the term "Perpetual" "Perpetual Light" perpetual perpetual perpetual To me, Ive always been fascinated about perpetual as well. For the past 10 years Ive concepted, contemplated, resolving this objective, this fundemental for perpetual energy. Indeed I feel that once the world is open to the concept, it will change in favour of goodness. So its in my efforts I wish to show something different. I tested my concept finally. And I was much appleased' And yes. Even my closest friends are skeptics of it. And the forums I shown it on have been very skeptic of it. Now... There is a quatrain in Nostradamus first book. That caught my EYE, instant. And it has also helped me create the next phase in my development. Magnification Solar Power Ive tested this with one magnification sheet and I was able to get 3 volt out of the 1.5volt laser. Its showing promise. When they a god in power would represent In rank disgrace, or high and excellent, In blood or triumph, an eagle they would paint - A god because it is a bird potènt Long-lived as any bird that roams the sky And image of the sun that reigns on high, Because the solar nature doth excel, And o'er all birds the sun doth see full well. For this apothecaries, sky-inspired, Do use a herb by eagles oft required, Whose burning eyes like rays do pierce the skies And sun as master and as lord apprise: Which, when applied, the power of the sight Doth much improve, as such a product might, Because when it would mount aloft the sky To rise so high it takes a slanting route, But, diving downwards, straight and true doth shoot. |

So your laser powers itself by using some mirrors and lenses?
That you can't see why this will not work says a lot about you. |

You may wish to look at it yourself, especially the bit about Archimedes, who predates Nostradamus by rather a long time. Even if Nostradamus wrote about this (and it isn't apparent from your quotation that he did) we don't need any paranormal explanation for his referring to an old legend. |

You seem to be grossly underestimating the abilities and efforts of working scientists and engineers while overestimating your own to a like degree. If you want to learn some basic science start a new thread in the science forum with your idea. This year's Nobel Physics Prize winners,Serge Haroche and David Wineland, did their work in optics, including bouncing photos between super-conducting mirrors. The light in their experiments bounce a finite number of times between the mirrors. Why is this so? How does it bode for your likely finger-marked fragments of bathroom mirror? |

I needed a good belly laugh!
ETA: No, really. Please start a thread in the science forum on this and we all get to learn something. There are some actual working scientists and educators who will reply over there. Include as much detail as you can about every component used and how you conducted your experiment. |

Holy thread resurrection, Batman.
I can't speak for others but being able to get a burger at Wendy's for lunch tomorrow is paramount. This is a skeptics board, Rwalsh. Feelings don't count for much when evaluating claims of prophecy, free energy, etc. Jebus, Rwalsh, what are you smoking? None of this makes any sense. |

The only thing that Nostradamus got right was his recipe for cherry jam.
