CENTURIA IV · QUATRAIN XXXI
The Single Brain
La Lune au plain de nuict sur le haut mont,
Le nouveau sophe d'un seul cerveau l'a veu:
Par ses disciples ester immortel semond,
Yeux au midi, en seins mains, corps au feu.
The full Moon at night upon the high mountain,
The new sage of a single brain has seen it:
By his disciples bidden to be immortal,
Eyes to the south, hands on his breast, body in the fire.
THE MASTER SAYS…
Nostradamus will try to explain what is happening in prose, since the alternation of lines in this quatrain does not correspond to the chronological development of events. He says that in the future a man will be born with a highly developed intellect who, by his abilities and genius, will surpass many times over all the geniuses of earthly civilization known by that time. This time, the genius of this man, all the power of his inventive mind, will be directed for the benefit of humanity. One of his successfully implemented projects will be the intensive introduction of small space “towns” located on huge orbital stations operating autonomously, as well as the relocation of part of Earth’s population into space for permanent residence. The colonies in space will be so large that to an observer from Earth they will be visible as small disks glowing like the Moon. Under the leadership of the Genius, the latest technologies will be developed that allow such settlements to be built with minimal costs. The average standard of living of people on Earth will reach the highest level. The presentation of his ideas will always cause a storm of interest in both scientific and political circles. One of his outstanding ideas will be the transfer of the most important characteristics of the human brain into a biological computer designed by him, which, in the end, having copied his manner of thinking, will be able to continue generating his ideas and solving the most difficult tasks even after his death. This Genius will bring the development of the supercomputer to such perfection that it will completely copy his own intellect and knowledge. It is this event that the words “his eyes will look to the south, his hands folded on his chest, and his body burn in fire” describe. He will develop a most complex device that allows generating a special kind of energy directed along the most complex neural pathways of the human brain, which will make it possible to create an intellectual matrix of a person suitable for introduction into an “organic” computer. During this procedure, the subject will experience a sensation of burning throughout the body. Nostradamus predicts that this discovery will occur at the end of the 21st or beginning of the 22nd century. The power of this young man’s mind will so strongly spur the development of science that devices will be created that in your days appear to be elements of pure fantasy. Nostradamus says that in the process of clairvoyance this event was especially easy to identify, so powerful and clear was the time node it generated. This man, as a sharp opposite of Satan, will heal the deep wounds inflicted on earthly civilization by the rule of the Antichrist, after which life on Earth will pass into a stage of prosperity and well-being.
