THE MORAL LAW OF NATURE: YOU REAP WHAT YOU HAVE SOW

Do you believe in KARMA? Ever heard someone saying " of all people, why would these things happens to me?"


KARMA - or kamma in pali which mean what you do to others is what you get similarly. 
Buddhist, and Hindus were not the only ones who believe in Karma, even Christians do.The bible has something to say about karma. Galatians (chapter 6 verse 7) tells us that " Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A person reaps what he sow". Another is in Matthew (chapter 7 verse 12) 
" ¹²So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." . This verses were also similar to the words of Confucius.

Karma could have been a result of your physical, verbal or mental actions. Does your past life has something to do with the karma you are experiencing in your present life?
There are others who explains that this is the reason why there are individuals who keeps on doing good things but yet faces lots of difficulties in life. There are no individual who can escape the consequences of his actions. It can have a short term or long term effect. 

Read this meaningful quotes:

Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

Truly, indeed that you may feel some sort of happiness being able to see the fall of someone you don't want,  but remember chapter 7 of the letter of Paul to the Galatians that "the lord cannot be mocked." He sees everything you do, be very careful of your words and actions. Good will be returned with good; evil with evil.

WHO IS NOSTRADAMUS?

MICHEL DE NOSTREDAME was a french physician and astrologer. His pseudonym, NOSTRADAMUS was his latin name. He was born in St. Remy de Provence, France on December 14, 1503. His parents were from Avignon, the papal enclave in Provence. Michel or Nostradamus was from Jewish ancestry. When King Louis XII ordered that all Jews be baptized, his family complied as it was the period of anti-semitism .
His first teacher was his grandfather Jean. At an early age, his ordinary intelligence already manifest. Jean taught him the essentials of Mathematics, Astrology, and other languages such as  Greek, Hebrew and Latin. He studied at University of Avignon where he studied liberal arts, this is where he first showed up great interest in Astrology. He then studied in a medical school which is the University of Montpellier.
He was first noted for developing the " Rose Pill" to prevent Bubonic plague. Rose pill was made from rose petals. He advised patients to keep the pill under their tongue without swallowing them. It is said that thousands of lives were saved because of the rose pill. When the deadly plague strucked again, it took his wife and childrens life and Nostradamus' reputation and fame as a good doctor was destroyed.

From being a Physician he became an Astrologer. Nostradamus wrote an Almanac like book which contains his predictions for the following year and a book which he called LES PROPETHIES or "The Prophecies" which contains 10 centuries and are written in a four lined rhymed verses which is called the quatrains. His book was first printed in 1555 in Lyons by Bonhomme. The second edition was the Ultrech edition in 1557. The  edition that follow was printed in 1557 in Lyons by Du Rosne and the fourth edition which contains the Centuries 7 to 10 was known as the Benoist Rigaud Edition.


The quatrains written by Nostradamus were intentionally obscured, he uses symbolism, metaphors, anagrams and omissions in names for the reason that he might be accused of heresy and persecuted.There are claims that aside from staring at  flames and waters to write his prophecies, Nostradamus sometimes uses herbal stimulants.


There are claims that among his famous prophecies includes:


THE ATOM BOMBS
THE GREAT FIRE OF LONDON
THE BIRTH AND RISE TO POWER OF ADOLF HITLER
THE RISE OF NAPOLEON I OF FRANCE ( BONAPARTE)
THE SEPTEMBER 11, TERRORIST ATTACK
THE WORLD WAR
THE DEATH OF PRINCESS DIANA
THE FIRST LANDING ON THE MOON
THE ASSASINATION OF JOHN F. KENNEDY




Nostradamus have long suffered from gout. He died in Salon, on July 2, 1566 and was buried in a wall of a church known as the Church of the Cordeliers in Salon. It is said that he predicted his own death. On the evening of July 1, 1566 when his secretary wish him goodnight, he answered him "you will not find me alive at sunrise" and the next day he was found lying on the floor next to his bed. It was also claimed that in his almanac he already predicted his death, it is written that:
"On his return from the Embassy, the King's gift put in place,
He will do nothing more. He will be gone to God.
Close relatives, friends, brothers by blood (will find him)
Completely dead near the bed and the bench."


The translated inscription on the wall of the church where his body lies were:
"Here rest the bones of the illustrious Michel Nostradamus, alone of all mortals, judged worthy to record with his near divine pen, under the influence of the stars, the future events of the entire world. He lived sixty-two years, six months and seventeen days. He died at Salon the in year 1566. Let not posterity disturb his rest. Anne Posart Gemelle wishes her husband true happiness."


In 1700 his body was transferred to a prominent place in wall of the church of St. Laurents. His skeleton bears a necklace/medallion with "1700" in it.  A myth says that in 1791 during the french revolution, soldiers made their way into the church in search for anything to loot. One soldier opened his tomb and drink liquor using his skull and allegedly this soldiers on their way home to Marseilles were ambushed.  In century 9 quatrain 7 Nostradamus had written;
"The man who opens the tomb when it is found
And who does not close it immediately,
Evil will come to him
That no one will be able to prove."


Was he a prophet? Whether, this claims are true or not, it is up to the you my dear readers to decide to believe it or not but there were numerous claims in books and internet that he indeed sees the future as he was tagged as the MAN WHO SAW TOMORROW.

DEJA VU???

Have you ever recall an instance when you were in a situation and you feel that it has already happened before and thinking you already know what will happen next? or ever been in a place you've just visited and you feel like you have knowledge of the place? This phenomena is called Deja Vu.

Deja Vu according to wikipedia.org is the experience of feeling sure that one has witnessed or experienced a new situation previously, although the exact circumstances of the previous encounter are uncertain.
Deja vu is a French word which literally means "already seen".

A Swiss scholar Arthur Funkhouser said that there are several Deja experiences. In a situation wherein you are go to a place for the very first time and suddenly you have the feeling that you've already been there in the exact place, same spot, that thing is called the DEJA VISITE or meaning already visited.  If you been into a party or somewhere else with family members or a group of friends and discussing on a topic and there is a feeling that this very thing had already happened, talking same topic,  with the same group, family member or a friend the phenomena is called DEJA VECU or already happened. If suddenly a person has felt something and that feeling is something that he already felt in the past or very similar to what he is feeling at present the mental phenomena is called DEJA SENTI.
Deja vu occurs to in individuals with or without medical conditions,. 
There are psychoanalyst who attribute deja vu to as simple fantasy or wish fulfillment while others claimed that it was a mismatch in the brain that causes it to mistake the present to the past and to many parapsychologist,  it said it is something related to past-life experiences but scientific researchers claimed that this mental phenomenon not a psychic thing, precognition or prophecy but merely just an anomaly of memory which gives the impression that an experience is being recalled.

Is this thing a psychic ability or is it just a mere case of CRYPTAMNESIA which is an occurence where an information learned is forgotten but somehow stored in the brain and an instance or occurences invoke the stored knowledge which leads to a feeling of being familiar to a situation or event?
