 In
his famous quatrain collection Les Propheties (The
Prophecies), 16th-century French clairvoyant Michel De
Nostredame foretold the occurrence of numerous major world
events. Experts studying the poems say that Nostradamus
predicted the Great Fire of London, the French Revolution,
World War II, and the September 11, 2001, tragedy in the
United States. Thus, as the world quickly approaches the
Aquarian Age and the December 21, 2012, baktun cycle change
on the Mayan calendar, Nostradamus’ writings are garnering
much attention.
Those
researching Nostradamus’ other works are uncovering more
remarkable findings. For example, in August 2002 the US-based
newspaper Sun published Grant Balfour’s article,
“Nostradamus: I Know America’s Future!” on a letter discovered
in France. Mr. Balfour reported that a respected panel
of academic experts led by Dr. Jeanne LaFobruge* concluded
that the letter contained a record of Nostradamus’ visions
about significant recent and future events in the US and
elsewhere.
In his letter,
not only did Nostradamus accurately describe the international
economic recession and other important present-day global
events, he also described a new leader who would usher
our world into an “age of exploration and limitless prosperity”
lasting more than 1,000 years. The following is a condensed
collection of excerpts from the Sun article.
Sun Newspaper,
August 6, 2002
Nostradamus: I Know America’s Future!
By Grant Balfour
Nostradamus, the
world’s most accurate prophet, clearly foretold the
current War on Terror and America’s immediate future.
Experts say the
shocking prophecies are contained in a letter recently
discovered in the archives of the Bibliotheque Nationale
de France. Once the handwritten document had been analyzed
and thoroughly authenticated, French authorities contacted
Washington, D.C. with the earth-shattering discovery.
“The letter..
.consists of seven dreams or visions, each of which
apply directly to America after the turn of the millennium,”
says Dr. Jeanne LaFobruge, leader of the blue-ribbon
academic panel studying the Nostradamus Letter.
“It appears that
Nostradamus was so moved by these intense visions, he
immediately put pen to paper and wrote them to a close
and trusted friend, possibly his wife or a local friar.
Over time, the writing was preserved, but its true significance
was forgotten. Luckily, the document survived.”
“I say ‘luckily’
with full intent, although perhaps it is more than luck.
Our studies have shown these seven dreams are directly
concerned with the present time, with events that are
taking place or about to take place right now.”
“Thus far, his
predictions – this summer’s devastating wildfires, the
deadly flooding in San Antonio, Texas, and the drought
parching the United States from Nevada to Florida –
have already come true.”
“Perhaps it is
no accident the Nostradamus Letter chose the present
day to once again come to light, as a warning from above
about the dangers we have ahead.”
Against the backdrop
of the War on Terror – a situation Nostradamus refers
to as “the war without countries, enemies like sand”
– the gifted seer foresaw two years of world-changing
events, beginning with a major economic upheaval.
 New
Great Depression |
“The first image
is of ‘gilded giants,’ with ‘rotten heads’ falling onto
huddled masses of poor people.” LaFobruge says.
Nostradamus is clear in explaining that it is a scene
of economic devastation.
The toppling
of corporate giants like Enron, WorldCom, ImClone, and
Tyco will continue at an alarming rate, until a wave
of desperation floods the stock market, bringing trading
to an all-time low. Millions will be left penniless,
their savings and retirement plans rendered worthless.
The process will
reach a point of no return sometime this fall, when
a CEO with major political ties will escape prosecutors
and flee to Iraq or Libya. Once safe with America’s
enemies, his ill-gotten gains will buy a life of luxury
and ease.
As world markets
one by one fall like dominoes, famine and disease will
run rife. Only those capable of living off the land
will emerge from these troubled times unscathed.
|
War
on Terror Redoubled |
“Relatively
untouched by the economic hardship affecting the rest
of the world, Al Qaeda operatives will take advantage
of the disaster and unleash a new devastating attack
by sea,” LaFobruge says.
Coastal cities – probably Los Angeles, San Francisco
and Portland – will suffer a venomous plague as seaborne
toxins kill millions of fish and pollute miles of shoreline.
Harbors and seaports will be rendered unusable and the
stench of decay will foster deadly airborne diseases.
The parties responsible for the attack will be found
dead from their own poisons. Several of them will be
born in Canada or the US, leaving American military
forces with no clear target for reprisals.
……
|
Presidential
Scandal |
“On the heels
of that triumph, however, international investigators
will uncover a devastating secret,” LaFobruge says.
“‘Kingdoms will
topple,’ Nostradamus wrote, ‘but the eagle will be wounded
in its golden crown.’ The panel was unanimous in its
determination that this vision describes a terrible
scandal, financially linking high-ranking government
officials to leaders in the terror network.”
The undeniable
ties will lead to a major upheaval in government, possibly
culminating in the impeachment of the president or vice-president.
|
End
of War on Terror |
In the political
chaos following the dramatic revelation, the terrorists
will strike again, using “flames from the sky” and incinerate
major cities in Europe. But shortly before Christmas
2003 the terrorist army will be uncovered near the town
of Megiddo, Israel – the Biblical site of the battle
of Armageddon.
“A single, decisive
strike by the new American leadership – who Nostradamus
dubs ‘the temporary princes’ – will shatter the terrorist
organization,” LaFobruge says.
Future peace,
however, will rely on a long-term Middle Eastern “Marshall
Plan,” offering aid and economic opportunity to the
war-ravaged citizens of the defeated regimes.
“According to
the letter, only once the victors lift the fallen from
the dust can peace flow like a river, cleaning the world.”
|
Second
Coming |
The rebuilding
of America’s government, Europe’s bombed cities, and
the war-ravaged Middle East will all take place thanks
to a single leader Nostradamus called “Faro.”
(1)
“He will come
from the mountains to the northeast of India, possibly
Tibet, and where he walks, prosperity follows,” LaFobruge
says.
“His organization
will combine the best elements of church and state by
feeding the hungry (2) and teaching
new prayer techniques.” (3)
Although active
before the end of the War on Terror, it is only after
the final victory that this world leader’s true identity
will be revealed.
“For his final
vision, what Nostradamus wrote was: ‘While bells ring
in London (4), in the time of Scorpion,
the new Jesus shows his face to all in the New World’s
island cities (5). The ocean sings
– Miracle! (6) – to behold the risen
Lord,’” says LaFobruge.
“This vision
clearly indicates several things about this mysterious
Tibetan hero. He will be in Hawaii or Puerto Rico, possibly
during a world tour ... There will be a miraculous happening
that will be witnessed by the world, and it will take
place in November of 2004.
“Most importantly,
this miracle will leave no doubt that this man, Faro,
is none other than the Second Coming of Christ Himself.”
|
Eternal
Youth |
Once accepted
as the world’s leader, the new Messiah will replace
all governments with a scientific think-tank whose only
responsibility is to solve humanity’s problems.
“The first problem
eliminated by this so-called ‘Parliament of sages’ (7)
will be human aging,” LaFobruge says. “By 2006,
they will have solved the problem – and no one need
ever grow old again. (8)
Following
that amazing discovery will be an age of exploration
and limitless prosperity for over 1,000 years.

Supreme
Master Ching Hai in Tibetan monastic habit
in Her early years.
|
Nostradamus’ description
of the Second Coming of Christ and Dr. LaFobruge’s explanation
of the Messiah’s mission bear a remarkable resemblance
to the noble life of the world-renowned spiritual teacher,
humanitarian and artist, Supreme Master Ching Hai, and
the work of Her Association. The following are some examples
regarding the prophecies cited in the article:
1. “The rebuilding
of America’s government, Europe’s bombed cities, and
the war-ravaged Middle East will all take place thanks
to a single leader Nostradamus called ‘Faro.’ He will
come from the mountains to the northeast of India, possibly
Tibet, and where he walks, prosperity follows.”
Faro in Spanish means
“lighthouse” or “guiding light.”
Supreme Master Ching Hai
achieved complete enlightenment in the Himalayas and was
in Tibet and India before being sought out to share Her
teachings with the public.

Master
and the representatives of the governors of the
six states
Chicago,
USA (February 22, 1994) |
A recipient of the World
Spiritual Leadership Award, presented in 1994 by governors
of six states in the US, Supreme Master Ching Hai has
long served as a foremost spiritual guiding light.
Supreme Master
Ching Hai is still working to bring peace
to all parts of the world and fulfill the realizable dream
of “Heaven on Earth” for all beings.
2. “His organization
will combine the best elements of church and state by
feeding the hungry…”
Additionally, Master and Her group have
helped refugees, orphanages, and many organizations that
benefit humans, animals and the environment. Often giving
anonymously, Supreme Master Ching Hai always contributes
whatever She can at any time or in any place where help
is needed.
3.
“…teaching new prayer techniques”
Supreme Master Ching Hai practices and
shares a meditation technique called the
Quan Yin Method, through which one can reach a deeper
union with the Creator via contemplation
of the inner Light and Sound. The inner Light, or
the light of God, is the same light referred to in the
word “enlightenment.” It shines forth as wisdom and compassion.
The cosmic vibration known as the inner Sound, being all
powerful and ever present, is also experienced as an inner
melody of divine love and can heal all wounds, fulfill
all desires, and quench all worldly thirsts. As the deepest
and most effective form of real prayer, the meditation
technique taught by Supreme Master Ching Hai thus allows
a sincere spiritual aspirant to be transported to higher
realms of existence through contact with the direct teachings
of God.
4. “Bell rings in London…”
|
London,
United Kingdom (June 9, 1999) |
Supreme Master Ching Hai spent much time
in England as a young adult during Her university studies
and became a naturalized British citizen. In more recent
years, She has travelled and resided there often, returning
to London many times for lectures and to give initiation
to Truth seekers. During a 1999
European lecture tour, Her visit to England coincided
with the signing of the Kosovo Peace Treaty. The bells
ringing in London could well signify this newfound regional
peace, as well as welcoming the arrival of the light-bearer
“Faro” as seen by Nostradamus, the grand city’s former
student, now returning as the Master – a cause for true
celebration by all.
5. “‘…the new Jesus
shows his face to all in the New World’s island cities’
… This vision clearly indicates several things about
this mysterious Tibetan hero. He will be in Hawaii or
Puerto Rico, possibly during a world tour.”
Responding to requests from spiritual
aspirants, Supreme Master traveled in a
series of world tours, offering lectures on nearly
every continent. In both 1989 and 1993, Her stops included
cities such as Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington, DC, and
others, located on or near islands throughout North and
South America. Lectures were also held in New York City
on the island of Manhattan, and Mexico City, which was
originally built by indigenous Aztecs on an island in
Lake Texcoco.

Supreme Master Ching Hai was invited
to speak in the US island state of Hawaii
in 1993 and later held an international meditation
retreat there. Her selfless dedication to humanity was
recognized by the late Honorable Mayor Frank Fasi of Honolulu,
Hawaii in 1993, when She was granted honorary US citizenship
and bestowed the International
Peace Commendation. She also stayed for some time
on Coconut Island in Hawaii, and later on San Marino Island
in the city of Miami Beach, Florida as well as in southern
Florida, where many students of the Quan Yin Method were
fortunate enough to join Her in spiritual gatherings.
6.
“The ocean sings – Miracle! – to behold the risen Lord.
”
The Supreme Master’s name, “Ching Hai,”
means “Pure Ocean” or “Clean Sea” in Chinese. Apart from
the
grace and miracles bestowed as a spiritual Master in
saving countless souls through many years of sharing the
Truth, Supreme Master is also a multi-talented artist
and musician. She is an extremely rare spiritual Master
who can transform people’s consciousness through Her uplifting
talents, which include
singing, poetry, and music. Her songs and music are
empowered by a loving vibration that brings incredible
healing, purification and spiritual elevation, and comforts
innumerable souls’ longing to return to Heaven. A worldwide
spiritual awakening is taking place – as when “the ocean
sings,” divine blessings flow and
miracles happen.
7. “‘Once accepted as the
world’s leader, the new Messiah will replace all governments
with a scientific think-tank whose only responsibility
is to solve humanity’s problems.… ‘Parliament of sages’…”
In 2006, Supreme Master Ching Hai inspired
the launch of Supreme
Master Television, a 24/7 internationally broadcast
channel viewed by millions of people around the world
via satellite and over 90 cable and IPTV networks in multiple
languages. This unique channel focused on constructive
news and programs to inspire peace through outstanding
examples of excellence in humanity and noble ways of living.
Most notable was the channel’s landmark coverage on practical,
efficient solutions to the current major world issue of
global warming. Featured broadcasts included live climate-change
conferences, interviews with Nobel Prize-winning and US
National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) scientists,
government leaders and leading environmental experts.
Throughout the channel’s five-year broadcast,
Supreme Master Ching Hai Herself spoke frequently via
televised
videoconferences with government leaders, eminent
scientists, physicians, artists, environmental protection
groups, and animal welfare organizations, offering practical
solutions and spiritual insights for addressing urgent
world problems. This unique broadcast forum transcended
all governments and national boundaries, sharing messages
of peace and the collective wisdom of renowned world experts
throughout the global community, making it truly a “Parliament
of Sages.”
8. “…no one need ever grow old again”
Most holy scriptures refer to the state
of being “ever young” or having “eternal life” as a level
of spiritual attainment that means one has transcended
the cycle of birth, aging and death that binds all
mortals. The Light and Sound meditation as transmitted
by Supreme Master Ching Hai promises restored awareness
of the soul’s eternal nature and complete liberation from
the cycle of physical birth and death.
Nostradamus’ prophecies were largely written as four-line
poems, made difficult to decipher through the frequent
use of symbolism and anagrams as a way to avoid possible
persecution from officials during his time. Perhaps it’s
no accident that the meaning of Nostradamus’ French name,
Michel De Nostredame, is “Michael ‘Angel’
of our Lady.” In one of his quatrains,
Nostradamus refers to himself as “the next to the last
of the surname of prophet (Le penultiesme du surnom
de prophete),” who will deliver the impossible
to a great people. The last four letters of his chosen
Latinized name Nostradamus, when written backwards, are
“SUMA” – a term that has been used regularly
in the past to refer to Supreme Master Ching Hai (SU:
Supreme; MA: Master). In Quatrain #3-94, he described
a glorious outcome of this divine mission:
In a heartfelt letter addressed to his
son, Nostradamus mentioned that his prophecies would extend
from his time to the year 3797. He explained, “This may
perturb some, when they see such a long time span, (but)
this will occur and be understood in all the fullness
of the Republic; these things will be universally understood
upon Earth, my son.”
Since the beginning of Her lectures
to the public in 1988, Supreme Master has often spoken
of crossing the threshold into a
Golden Age, the 1,000-year period of exploration and
limitless prosperity envisioned by Nostradamus. Through
the years, She has worked tirelessly in both the spiritual
and physical realms to elevate the consciousness of sentient
beings in preparation for this transition, while promoting
the vegan diet, compassion for all beings and a righteous
way of living. In the year 2004, during an intensive personal
retreat that lasted more than two years, She sent several
messages to Association members, informing them of a
New Golden Era, and of the blessing by Heaven of all
beings on Earth. In one letter, She wrote:
“This planet has undergone tremendous
changes for improvement. Lots of purification and blessing
has been bestowed upon this world in all aspects. Saturate
yourselves with this once-in- eons-of-a-chance-love, for
it is your absolute refuge – as the cleansing is taking
effect around you. Meditation, noble precepts and unconditional
love will draw you more towards the field of positive
Grace.”

A few months later, during a February
2005 talk with fellow initiates in Hungary, She spoke
again of this promising shift for the planet: “Especially
at this time, in the transitional period when Earth is
joining all the more developed galaxies, everything is
blessed and opened for the faithful ones.” She
also advised everyone to spend more time in deep meditation
during this special period.
Indeed, the life of Supreme Master Ching
Hai is the manifestation of divine blessing. Never in
history has an enlightened Master been able to unite as
many people from so many different nationalities, cultures,
and religions. As observed by the Honorable Mayor Frank
Fasi of Honolulu: “She brings love around the world where
there is hate. She brings hope where (there) is despair.
And, She brings understanding where there is misunderstanding.
She is the light of a great person, an angel of mercy
for all of us.”
As human consciousness
is being further elevated, following the natural evolution
of the whole universe, let us rejoice at this great news
about the dawn of enlightenment and the noble vision of
peace and harmony for all beings on Earth. May more and
more people be inspired by the guiding light of the “Faro”
and choose to lead lives of love and compassion. We pray
that all children of the Divine — humans, animals, plants
and other creations, live in peace and happiness together
in the paradise called Earth, as intended by God and as
foretold by the beloved prophet, Michel De Nostredame!
