NOSTRADAMUS FORESEES THE ROLE OF QIGONG

 

The humankind for a long has lived through a dreadful anxiety and

horror, in its pursuit to explain Nostradamus' quatrain about July,

1999 [X - 72].

 

At last, this date has passed, the new millennium has come and the

people have drew a sigh of relief. For a short. The events from the

last autumn on again set up the humankind on alert...

 

Whether Nostradamus wanted to frighten the people with his

prophecies? Or, he just wanted to have a joke? Or, as some interpret,

he has made a mistake in the calculations, and the " end of world " has

been postponed? Neither the one, nor the other, nor the third. The

great scientist had a profound understanding on the objective laws of

Universe and their impact on people. With a unprejudiced exposition

and love to humanity, he has strived to forewarn it, to

awaken it, so that the people do all what is in the frames of their

abilities to avoid the disasters. Because, the movements in Universe

follow their objective laws and cyclic recurrence, and the Earth

(including everything on her) is subordinate to their influence:

every part and every detail naturally comply to the general movement

of the Cosmic whole!

 

For Nostradamus, the year of 1999 represents a partitioning line, in

which the principles of the old and the new epoch collide. He knows

that the change of one big cycle with another, what are, for example,

two millenniums, is made uneasily. The cataclysms in Nature and

society continue before and after the boundary of two cycles, until a

new equilibrium is achieved. That is why, after the beginning of the

new millennium, there occur many unhealthy phenomena.

 

Our present day still has not drift far from the restless transition

period toward the New epoch. The people should be wakeful: they

should search for the true path toward their own liberation from the

circle of negative influences, so that to make their life better and

continue the advancement of humanity. The heaven does not

exterminate the humans, neither it takes up with their salvation, but

instead grants them the opportunity to attain their freedom and

advancement on their own. Nostradamus has clearly understood this

truth.

 

Thus, along with the objective analysis on the cyclic changes in

Universe and their reflection on humankind, he has also looked for

the reverse tendency, which can give a hope to the people. Because,

within Yin there is also Yang, therefore, such a tendency always

exists in reality in Nature.

 

When Nostradamus recounts to Katherine de Medici, the then queen of

France, about the future hardships of humanity, the queen asks him

whether he knows a way that will help the people to evade the

terrible events - whether aliens, or a new race, or something else,

some kind of thing, for example, would not help them? Or, the

dreadful calamities inevitably must happen? Nostradamus replies

to her that there is only one way to avoid the misfortunes, but this

does not pertain to the assumptions listed by her: neither aliens,

nor any kind of thing could rescue the humankind. The terrible events

might not happen only if in the future, near before the time of the

great tumult, there occur a new phenomenon. What is it, he cannot

clearly name it, but he feels that only if this phenomenon manifest

itself in advance, the humanity for sure would change its previous

way of living, avoid its self-destruction, revive and start to

build a completely different human world.

 

Although he fails to give it a name, Nostradamus has felt this

phenomenon as really existing in Nature, he has sensed that it flows

both in Universe and throughout the human world. Moreover, in several

quatrains he precisely describes the characteristics of this

phenomenon, which, according to him, will save the world.

 

Now we live in the time, which Nostradamus had in mind. Let's think

about: what did before the end of last century manifest itself as a

new phenomenon in society, which actually possesses the power and the

potentiality to completely transform the humans, their health,

understandings and behavior. The unknown phenomenon, according to

Nostradamus, should had happened before 1999.

 

During the 50s, in the middle of 20th century, there really occurred

one phenomenon of this type: qigong, an ancient teaching on the

objective connections between Man and Universe, which also comprises

practices for physical and spiritual development of the people,

overcame the limits of the separate schools. In the end of the 70s

and the beginning of the 80s, qigong started to spread quickly and

extensively throughout all over the Earth. For less than 10 years,

the interest toward qigong around the world increased to such an

extend that it indeed became a large-scale phenomenon and now,

according to the statistics, the people practicing qigong are more

than those practicing all types of sport, martial arts and other

methods brought together.

 

Why namely qigong is the phenomenon, about which Nostradamus speaks

during his meeting with Katherine de Medici? Because qigong is a

natural product and is not made up by the humans. It contains

objective knowledge and natural techniques for increasing qi. And, qi

(the vital energy), which is accumulated and cultivated in the human

body through qigong, represents the power capable to regulate and

balance the human being, to help his attain healthy body and

mind, expand his knowledge on the objective world, modify his

behavior, change his fate and equibalance his connections with

Nature. Qi - the energy - by and large exists objectively not only

within the human, but also in environment. It is everywhere in the

great cosmic space, a fundamental constructive unit for all things

and occurrences. Qi has the most omnipresent nature. All things in

Universe are connected through it in a invisible net. That is why, it

is an expression of the greatest whole and unity in Nature. Not a

living being could exist without it. The physical and spiritual

health of man is based on, regulated and developed thanks to qi. The

harmony in Universe also is maintained and relies on this fine

substance.

 

And, because qigong views these subjects scientifically, from the

point of the objective truth, without doubt, it is the very

phenomenon, which Nostradamus refers to. Not accidentally, many of

the qigong practitioners after a time confide that the positive

changes in their personality are so significant that, as if they have

become other people, as if they live a new live.

 

Among the quatrains of the great scientist, there are at least three,

in which are described specific issues, related to the training and

nature of this teaching:

 

[iII-2] Le diuin verbe pourra à la substance,

Comprins ciel, terre, or occult au fait mystique

Corps, ame, esprit ayant toute puissance,

Tant soubs ses pieds comme au siege Celique.

 

The divine word will give to the sustenance

Including heaven, earth, gold hidden in the mystic milk:

Body, soul, spirit having all power

As much under its feet as the Heavenly see.

 

The gold of the knowledge about qi has been hidden till now in mystic

attires. Yet, only thanks to qi, " body, soul and spirit " could be

genuinely powerful. There comes a time, when the people learn about

the objective truth about the substance - the invisible, but material

energy, intrinsic to all things, to the humans and the whole

Universe, in order to overcome their problems. Indeed,

only qi - the most profound original substance, of which are

construct all things in Nature, has the power to transform their

quality, and thus, the direction of their development.

 

[iV-25] Corps sublimes sans fin à l'œil visibles,

Obnubiler viendra par ses raisons,

Corps, front comprins, sens, chef & inuisibles,

Diminuant les sacrees oraisons.

 

Lofty bodies endlessly visible to the eye,

Through these reasons they will come to obscure;

Body, forehead included, sense and head invisible,

Diminishing the sacred prayers.

 

In the process of qi cultivation, the fine matter of energy becomes

visible for the human eyes. The obscurity in the understanding is due

to one's insufficient knowledge on the natural truths. When one

practices qigong, however, in the state of profound meditation one

stops to feel the body, mind and the senses ( " forehead included " ),

which as if become intangible, while the consciousness at the same

time attains extraordinary clarity and unison with Universe. Then,

one realizes that one should not rely only on prayers and like

the children always to beg for something from his Father, but one

should also rely on his own work and endeavors in order to achieve

his health and enlightenment.

 

[V-96] Sur le milieu du grand monde la rose,

Pour nouueaux faits sang public espandu,

A dire vray on aura bouche close,

Lors au besoin viendra tard l'attendu.

 

The rose upon the middle of the great world,

For new deeds public shedding of blood:

To speak the truth, one will have a closed mouth,

Then at the time of need the awaited one will come late.

 

There should not always understand the words in their direct literal

meaning. Here, the word is not about shedding of blood. The new

deeds, which are able to transform the people and the Path of

humanity, demand to " give blood " , i.e. to exert great endeavors.

Efforts and work are required.

 

In order to change one's life and behavior, one first will have to

realize this necessity and change his way of thinking. To understand

the Truth of life, to understand the Human and the natural Way toward

the further evolution, and the interconnections between humanity and

the Cosmos. However, in order to cognize the Truth and then to

" speak " correctly for it, one first will have to master and utilize

the right method for its achievement: to relax " with a closed mouth "

and eyes, so that to let one's inner matter restore qi (energy),

which will help him to attain health, mental harmony and

enlightenment. In other words, one has to practice meditation. Yet,

namely this quiet exercise is the most important in the system of

qigong.

 

Nostradamus points out that the knowledge on this method ( " the rose " )

will come (it will blossom) from " the middle of the great world " ,

i.e. from the Middle Country, what in translation from Chinese means

the name of China.

 

In other places he again repeats: the knowledge would be brought " from

Tataria " , as by that time in Europe often have called China, and what

all of Nostradamus interpreters have noticed.

 

Thus, in his quatrains Nostradamus shows us that only qi (the energy)

is that huge invisible power in Universe, on Earth and in the human

nature, which transforms the people, their values and fate. Only

through its increase and cultivation within the human beings, it

becomes possible in a natural way to balance and regulate the

interconnections between the peoples, so that they be

able to limit and even evade the " terrible disasters " . And only qi is

in a position to change the humanity's path toward light and peace,

in a harmony with Nature.

Qigong " ) and numerous scientific articles. Many times before July,

1999, d-r Wang Jianjun repeatedly explained in his lectures that " the

end of world " will not come and that the meaning, put by Nostradamus

in this phrase is another: an end of the old time and a beginning of

the new; however the transition period between them is not easily

accomplished and it is accompanied by many phenomena of struggle

between the positive and negative trends in Nature and society.
