Some Thoughts on Nostradamus and Prophecy

Image
 By Dennis Lantz When it comes to prophecy, I have a pretty good bull---t meter. I’ve always been fascinated with the idea that one can predict the future. I don’t understand how it works… and I don’t even know if it is beneficial. Many interpreted prophecies amuse me. I’m not saying I disbelieve, but I will claim that much of it is nonsense. Biblical prophecy was the first encounter I had with prognostication. It seemed that much of the New Testament was written to show that Old Testament prophecy had already come true. To me, prophecies that have already been fulfilled are boring. I’m much more interested in things yet to come. While I realize that symbolism is the language of visions and dreams, I think that prophecies filled with vague utterances are a waste of time. Ambiguous references leave me skeptical.

Before I explain how that will happen, let me start with some basic terminology. In this article and others soon to follow, you will read about Purpose, Dreams and Vision. They are similar concepts, but different in specific ways. Purpose: Your pur...

Why You Should Sign Up For My Newsletter

Image
By Dennis Lantz Newsletters do not have to be boring bathroom fodder. Those I enjoy are informative, creative and topical. Some are even inspirational and transformative. I do not subscribe to many email newsletters… but those that I do receive are typically about writing, politics, gardening, sports, or health. I’ve a wide range of interests and my newsletter will reflect those. Unplugging your creative juices is far more appealing to me than persuading you that my opinions are superior to anyone else’s. I want you to take another look at ideas you thought were settled in your soul, but I don’t want you to believe exactly as I do. My first few newsletter articles are going to be in this basic format. As I become more accustomed to the templates and technology of Mail Chimp , I will change their appearance. I’m not the most tech savvy person and it takes me a while to explore artistic avenues. As more subscribers join us, the volume of newsletters will increase. But I will ...
