CENTURIA III · QUATRAIN XCIV
The Forbidden Archives
De cinq cent ans plus compte on tiendra,
Celui qu'estoit l'adornement de son temps:
Puis a un coup grand clarte donra,
Que par ce siecle les rendra tres contens.
After five hundred years one will count him,
he who was the adornment of his time:
then at one stroke he will give a great light,
that through this century will render them well content.
THE MASTER SAYS…
He says that this quatrain encodes two different events. The first and main one, again, is connected with the name of the Great Genius. The legacy he left, even after many centuries, will have a dominant influence on the development of earthly civilization, but in time another outstanding discovery will be made, which, along with the works of the Great Genius, will finally liberate people and make them independent even of the physical laws of nature, giving human society a new stimulus for positive development. In the past, only the deeds of Leonardo da Vinci could be commensurate with the bright light of knowledge that these two geniuses, whose names are very closely intertwined in the prophecy, will bring to earthly civilization. Nostradamus asserts that much of what was invented by Leonardo da Vinci, however, was destroyed by ignorant people and the Inquisition that raged in his years. Many of his works are still kept under lock and key in the archives of the Vatican Library. The fact is that the brain of Leonardo da Vinci, by the depth of its logic, was capable of comprehending the practically incomprehensible. In one of his forbidden works, he put forward the hypothesis that the miracles and magical healings of the sick cited in the Bible, performed by God and Jesus, are technological achievements of extraterrestrial civilizations, and all biblical characters are merely instruments for fulfilling their will. Of course, such theories in his time could only be regarded as heretical and, consequently, fall under the strictest prohibition. The Vatican is still not interested in these and many other documents stored in the main archive of the Catholic Library being made public. Moreover, many important manuscripts have long been lost or lie covered with dust on no one’s checked shelves of the repository of ancient manuscripts. All this is kept under lock and key, and access to the Vatican Library is practically closed.
