In my opinion, he was a product of his times. The people in charge wanted a seer, and he knew to keep things so incredibly vague that nothing could be discounted or proved, and so he stayed safe.
That's why his quatrains seem "relevant" today...because it means nothing and yet reads so deep that it must mean something.
Kinda like the poetry of Rod McKuen. Or America's lyrics.
Time is an illusion. Everything exists now. If you travel fast enough towards a distant star, you get to see its past because the light reaches you sooner than it would if you had been on Earth.
There exists a record of everything, both past and future. Everything depends on both individual and group decisions. This means there must be infinite worlds playing out infinite possibilities.
In numerous near death experiences, people have reported they were subject to a whole-life review. Religions the world over mention a review after death. If any of these stories are true, there must some way every thought, every action is recorded and if it is recorded, then it must be searchable and reviewable. It all makes sense to me if everything is energy and energy does not get destroyed.

Well, I do remember that matter and energy never gets destroyed, it only changes form; for example, setting a piece of paper on fire, it does not get destroyed, it only turns into ashy substance, but it is not destroyed.
Last night on "Coast To Coast AM" with George Noory they had an expert on Nostradamus and an astrologer named John Hogue. The guy was unbelievably ridiculous and was way off on his predictions, even the ones that were vague and hard to define. So if that idiot tries to decipher Nostradamus predictions and prophecies, I wouldn't put much faith in them.
There are some people who believe that Twitter and other social media language can predict current trends. I am sure the CIA supercomputer, when it is analysing our emails and phone conversations, tries to make connections between language and intention which may indicate a 'prophecy' of sorts.

>>>> My bad and my apologies to John Hogue. It was NOT John Hogue who made an ass of himself on Coast To Coast AM that night, but it was Anthony Carr. He's creepy as well and not just a phony prophet.

This is what I believe too. Anyone claiming to have the power of clairvoyance is a charlatan because the future is not set.
Back when I was in high school friends started calling me "latter-day Nostradamus" because I was able to quickly spot trends that almost made it appear like I could see the future. I'm no seer but rather just a person who can exclude my own personal wants and prejudices when weighing out the possible and most likely outcome of a situation. Of course, super computers are able to do the same thing nowadays with an even greater degree of precision thanks to Big Data. For example, I'm sure that the NSA and CIA knew that Donald Trump would win the election well before November 8th, 2016 which may explain why FBI Director James Comey released his shocking October surprise on Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton. By late October it was probably already crystal clear, thanks to predictive algorithms running on high-end super computers, that Trump was going to be the next President so Comey's actions don't seem as reckless or meddlesome when you factor Big Data in to the equation.
A person could believe that they are clairvoyant, and they might believe that the future is written, in some way.
That would not make them a charlatan.
This is the definition of a charlatan: a person who falsely pretends to know or be something in order to deceive people —
If a person claims to have this ability, yet, they are not falsely pretending in order to deceive someone, they are not a charlatan.
