a. Timing
===

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are due to the activity caused by
the conjunction of the planets, which also affects the shift of this
planet. (I. p54) A shift will occur at the close of the century (I.
p52, I. p56). It will be abrupt as to be within a "six to ten-hour
period".


b. The end of civilization 
===

Civilization as you know it will cease to exist. (I. p53) Cities will
no longer exist as we know them. (I. p56)

c. Geography
===

Continents as you know them now will cease to exist or change
dramatically. (I. p52) All the central part of your continent as you
know it will be [spared]. Continents all over the earth will be
affected. The water mass as we know it now will cover a greater
percentage of the earth. Continents that are connected will be split,
divided by water that were not divided by water before. There will
not be any country that is not affected. A large portion of Asia will
be covered with water. Africa will have a channel cutting through it,
a new strait. (I. p56)


d. Preparations/Survival
===

Make humanity aware. Let people prepare themselves spiritually.
Intellectually become more aware of survival through climactic
changes. (I. p53) Problems of survival will be hardest in countries
turned into islands. (I. p69)

e. Old vs. Young Souls
===

I. p200

There is now a higher proportion of old souls in the world than there
has ever been before, because the old souls will be needed to help
the world survive. They can be found everywhere, permeated in the
oddest places. The old souls will be in communication with each other
and they are the ones that will help things hold together and
survive.

I. p261

Nostradamus states that his communication is intended to help us avoid
the worst-case scenarios of his visions that could be averted with
great determination and resolve. The time of troubles will be a very
trying time. The spirits on the earth at this time are there by
choice to work through major amounts of karma. Living in this
stressful period will be like concentrated karma, or the equivalent
of ten average human lifetimes. 

The older and more advanced spirits volunteered. Some younger spirits
were simply feeling adventurous. Others are here not because they
wanted to in their hearts, but they had to or it would be the "end of
the line for them" as far as spiritual advancement. They're not fully
volunteers but just enforced volunteers, so to speak, because they
knew they had no other choice.  Most of the people are understandably
unhappy, but some make the best of the situation and some don't.


f. The New Age of spiritual rebirth
===

The shift will usher the beginning of a new age. (I p53, I. p56) Even
though there will be physical deaths, there is no death of people's
consciousness, but a different awareness. Do not feel that people
would not know life. There will be those that will be left here to
make a new beginning for the earth. (I. p56)

I. p224

Whether the worst of the events prophecied come to pass, there will be
a great spiritual rebirth throughout the world. Individuals will have
the opportunities to "get in touch with themselves" and  come to a
realization about the falsehoods of materialism. After communication
is restored after the time of troubles, people will come to this
realization together, and a great rebirth of philosophy that blends
the Eastern and Western religions will ensue. 

It will be a worldwide movement upholding the Truth as everyone
perceives it, bringing about the best aspects of the Age of Aquarius.
Focusing on this "ray of hope" during the time of troubles could
alleviate the worst aspects of the suffering, the the materialism of
the majority of the population will regrettably make this unlikely.


g. Reawakening of freedoms an rights
===

I p 281 (cII-44)

The U.S. will suffer defeats fighting the Antichrist as well as an
internal political deterioration during the time of troubles. When
the time of troubles are over people will celebrate their victory and
freedom, and reawaken in the U.S. the spirit of liberty and rights
embodied by the Statue of Liberty, which were dead during the time of
the Antichrist's tyranny. The  people will regain their rights and
the way of life improve from the dark times.

h. Peace after WWWIII
===

I p 281 (cVI-24)

An American president with a strong Cancer influence will  push for
war and cause events to fall in place for it. But after WWWIII the
populace will be repulsed by war and elect a new president. He will
want peace and work for it, and peace will reign for some time
afterwards.

i. Spirituality transcends technology

I p 283 (cIV-29)

This quatrain refers to the grand design that is emanating from the 
"center of the wheel" during the time of troubles and the healing
period afterwards. The sun and Mercury/Hermes are symbols of "the
higher aspects". The sun in this quatrain represents the overall
power of the universe from which everything originates. Mercury
represents the materialistic aspects of technology. Hermes, in
relation with  Mercury, symbolizes modern communications technology.
Vulcan, i.e. one who works with fire, represents warfare. 

The "hidden sun" represents the fact that the societies of the world
have gotten out of touch with their spiritual source. They are
ignorant of their origin and the "meaning of life" and they search
for fulfillment and happiness in other areas, and do not succeed.
They think it's found in modern technology, hence the  "sun being
eclipsed by Mercury". It's held only second because what people
really hold first is personal pleasure and happiness. And in trying
to find happiness in technology they separate themselves from the
central source of the universe.

By the end of WWWIII and the time of troubles, and the healing process
begins, people will be reunited with the source. The horrors of war
and bloodshed--the powers of Vulcan--will cause them to realize that
technology does not contain the answers to happiness. They will gain
a new insight into "from whence they sprang and where they are
going". The time of healing will usher a more spiritually mature age,
and people will be able to heal themselves and the world, and go far
in preparing to join the community fo the Watchers.

The central hub of the "wheel" represents the source of everything and
radiating spokes symbolize channels of power. The space between the
spokes contains different scenes in the background, representing the
various influence the "aspects" have on historical developments as a
result of the intensity of the associated energies.

j. Feminine aspects of God revered again
===

I p284 (cII-87)

The feminine aspects of God have been ignored, neglected and reviled.
After the demise of the Antichrist the pendulum will swing back into
balance. In early ages and in ancient societies the female aspect of
God was worshipped and revered. The masculine aspect was also
respected but was subordinate. During the patriarchal era, which
extends into the present, the female aspect was suppressed and
repressed. Society will come to terms with the divinity of both
masculine and feminine aspects. This realization will help foster a
more balanced worldview.

k. More open, frequent contact with aliens
===

I p286 (cI-29)

After the time of troubles there will be much closer and open contact
with aliens and UFOs. One alien race will be heading for an undersea,
seafloor base they have established but the craft will malfunction
and be cast up on the shore. The people will perceive them as the
enemy out of terror. Some of the "Others" are enemies, and some are
not. There is more than one group of "Watchers". Some mean well for
mankind and some have more selfish motives in mind.

l. "Green" revolution, return to the land
===

I p 286 (cII-19)

People will turn to peace after the horrors of the Antichrist. A
"green" revolution with roots in the social revolution of the early
1970s will ensue. People will live in extended families beyond the
nuclear families of the modern era. Larger families and groups of
people are needed to build and support new communities. The new
communities will be very earth- and ecology-conscious. They will help
heal the earth of the horrible degradations of weaponry from WWWIII.

They will reclaim and cultivate wasted, misused, or unusable land for
farmland. Since the will for peace is all-encompassing, building
defenses will not be necessary. In direct reversal of the 20th
century trend, cities will be torn down to expose soil to sunlight
and make room for farming. So many will have died during WWWIII that
plenty of land will be available to the low-density population.
People will be inherently pacific and reclaim land beneath concrete
instead of fighting over land.

m. New political alliances
===

I p302 (cII-22)

After the calamitous events of the late 20th century, the present 
alliances among the countries, particularly western nations, will
dissolve and new alignments will form. During the interim period the
people involved with the peace-keeping system beneath the existing
alliance will be "at loose ends". A secret naval or intelligence
base, will be constructed on the American continental shelf
underneath the ocean for secrecy. Heads of staff will meet there to
decide what action to take in regard to the new alliance. NATO will
not be known by this name but will live on in a similar organization
that stemmed from it. This will be  dissolved due to the stress
countries underwent duing the time of troubles. 

n. Scientific discoveries reaffirm Eastern religion
=== 

I p302 (cII-22)

Military scientists--not those researching weapons, but doing
research-- will discover a new force other than the basic ones of
electricity, magnetism, gravity, etc. shortly  after the time of
troubles. This new force will give supporting evidence for Eastern
religious views. The countries in this part of the world,
particularly India, will "turn inward" to contemplate the discovery
and rise in greater glory than through outward communication with
other nations. It is not so much a discovery but a realization. 

The evidence for the force has been in front of us bu the facts have
been misinterpreted and misassociated with other phenomena, such as
"statistical aberration". The force will relate to mystical phenomena
such as teleportation.

o. Great Genius unifies religion and science
===

I p 295 (cVII-14)

The Great Genius will help unify science and religion and bring about
the enlightenment and peace of the Age of Aquarius foretold by
prophets. People will be able to free their inner selves and open
themselves up to the higher powers and the higher levels of the
universe. In effect it will make everyone a  philosopher. Sects and
religions that embrace the newly discoverd principles will be
widespread as adherents meet and share experiences in exploring the
"upper regions".

p. Great Genius discovers the science of miracles
===

I p 296 (cIII-2)

The great genius will realize the magic of alchemy through his
discoveries and inventions. The new philosophy engendered by his
discoveries will encourage the development of mental powers and
anything will seem possible in the climate of a greater unity of
mind, soul, body, and emotions. People will be able to manipulate the
basic forces of the universe in a wa that will seem utterly fantastic
to those not involved with the occult. People presently involved in
occult and psychic realms currently deal with these forces without
understanding, but in the future understanding will be present,
sharpening the efficacy of the art.

q. Astonishing feats of medicine
===

I p 301 (cII-13)

Future medicine will reach astonishing sophistication by today's
standards and will eventually be able to renew a body or "breath back
the spirit" into, i.e. reanimate, the body.  A breakthrough in
science will have a profound effect and man will finally "touch God",
so to speak. The spiritual core of the universe that animates
everything through lifeforce will be discovered, the central source
of this the divine spirit. It will seem like a profound rebirth of
humanity. 

r. New philosophy of the Age of Aquarius
===

I p 302 (cI-69)

A new philosophy will emerge in the New Age, more compatible with the
reality of the higher planes and life on earth. The philosophy will
have seven basic tenets that appear simple on the surface but are
actually very deep. After a period of peace the people of earth will
become lax and uncaring of the higher aspects of spirituality because
they "have it easy". A war and famine and other hardships will turn
minds toward higher realizations as people think there must be
something more to their existence. It will absolve existing
contradictions in philosophies that perplex people, and will overturn
older, established religions. It will have sociological effects and
will affect the laws of countries. The philosophy has its roots in
the Age of Aquarius.
