Enneagram Movie Board Archive Michael Nostradamus (Discovery Channel Documentary)Posted by Jan den Breejen on February 24, 2000 at 05:08:51:
![]() Michael Nostradamus (Discovery Channel Documentary) In the movie the Sixth Sense the E4 boy says 'I see dead people'; Nostradamus had his second sight 'in reverse'; he saw people and situation that he thought would come to the world. Nostradamus was a learned scholar with interesting contrasts; he thought as a medieval scholar ('gothic'), but was very advanced/innovative in his scientific works. Intensity is another hallmark; either his second sight produces eternal bliss or (mostly) doom and gloom. Some predictions make me think of the tv series Dad's Army in which there is one eye rolling soldier who repeatedly with deep intensity says 'were dooooomed…'. To give you an idea of his writing style; 'it will rain blood…'great misery for mankind…and even greater misery will follow…' Some 20th century poets have the same dark focus and cyclical structure in their works. Hitler knew Nostradamus prophesy that 'Hister will unleash wild monsters all over Europe' and exploited this as a legitimation (also to make him feel 'right') for his crimes against humanity. His writing was vague, obscure, symbolic and poetic; leaving room for endless analysis and interpretation (like most of the enneagram literature!) . The ancient greeks thought that prophets and poets were in a state of holy madness. The Greek word 'idiot' just means 'unique person'. E4 is the most likely E-type of Nostradamus. Jan
