CENTURIA III · QUATRAIN XLVIII
The Seven Hundred
Sept cens captifs estachez rudement,
Pour la moitie meurtrir, donne le sort:
Le proche espoir viendra si promptement,
Mais non si tost qu'une quinziesme mort.
Seven hundred captives harshly bound,
to destroy half of them the lot is cast:
near hope will come so promptly,
yet not so fast before a fifteenth death.
THE MASTER SAYS…
This quatrain concerns the AIDS crisis. He shows me many different pictures in the mirror, from which one can see how the disease began. He shows me monkeys in trees in Africa. A monkey bite spread an infection that is a mutation of some disease among monkeys. I see a woman being bitten. She was not worried by the monkey bite, because in her living conditions it is not rare. The disease mutated within her, and she soon died. It is like rabies. She transmitted it to her husband during sexual contact. He also died, but before that he spread the disease through sexual contact with others. A big chain reaction began. Further I see people lined up receiving money for their blood and plasma. This is sent to mobile donation points in Africa. I see laboratories. This blood is used in biological products, in medicines, and these products are infected with this disease. It comes not so much from blood as from plasma and unsterile instruments. That is how it spreads. He shows me how it affects the endocrine system. It becomes a disease on a world scale and will continue to spread. Then I see many centers in the United States where it is transmitted to people. I see people at experimental stations, and they are given medicines to test their reaction. I see an effeminate man being given a medicine. He, in turn, receives money for it and goes to a party. He enjoys himself and spreads the disease. They gave him the disease! Seven hundred people received a chemical inoculation, or had a chemical reaction. And this group has since come into contact with others, spreading this disease, which eventually became an epidemic. He says, your own government. He asks to pay attention to religious intolerance. All of them were paid volunteers on whom a new chemical agent was tested, which was supposedly supposed to cure hepatitis, and as a result this experiment got out of control. The government hoped that they could cope with the problem. It will be very difficult, since science created and hybridized this disease. “Fifteen dead” is an anagram of fifteen years. He says that fifteen years separate the first case from the moment when a cure is found. By that time the spread of the disease will be like an epidemic of his time. It will take the lives of many people. This is terrible! This is genocide! It got out of control and therefore struck a huge number of people. It was not supposed to spread; it was supposed to strike only certain groups of people. They were given a chemical preparation as paid volunteers, and the chemical reactions made them open to the disease. The government understood. This was planned from the very beginning.
