Nostradamus Volume 14 of 17: And Explanations of Afterlife Experiences

By William Dudley Pelley and Sister Thedra

This series of books entitled "Nostradamus" is a publication of William Dudley Pelley’s original "Soulcraft Fellowship, Letters from Home, The Nine O’clock Sessions, Survey of Probabilities, Purposes of the Infinite, Letters from the Heavenly Home and Halls of Light Illumination" representing over 1500 legal-sized, single-spaced typewritten pages originally written in 1955 but never published in its entirety before now.

This material, thought to be unique in Pelley’s writings, was channelled by him and mailed weekly to his subscribers in five-page sets. One unknown individual in Washington State assembled these sets (minus issue #1) and bound them into the manuscripts. We at TNT Publishing obtained the manuscripts, digitized them and are publishing them herein, beginning with Letter Number 2.

While the majority of this material was received psychically from Nostradamus, other Steller historical personalities also "tuned in" to provide (absolutely awesome!) knowledge and valuable communication while Pelley was in contact with Nostradamus, Democritus, Henry Ford, Benjamin
Franklin, Thomas Edison and others...

Christ Encounters the Woman Who Washes His Feet with Her Tears, Drying Them on Her Hair

Dear William and Soulcrafters:

What I, Michel Nostradamus, am doing in giving you this particular sequence of Galilean history, is to make clear to your minds and perchance the memories of some you, exactly what the phases of Jesus' career comprised in readying the world for the gradual incoming of the so-called Christian religion. Jesus the Christ, adored as Deliverer of the world for the past 2,000 years, had really been the reincarnation of the Archangel Michael, co-creator of the world and the universe millions of years before, but called to revisit this planet and instill a fresh concept of Creator holiness before the eyes of the sons of men dwelling upon this planet. Unless you have it brought home to you exactly what Jesus went through, starting His universal ministry, its vital and salient points are lost to you. I propose to take you through His trial and crucifixion step by step that you may understand and appreciate the jeopardies that were part of His brevet. My data is being compiled by written records of happenings as they await millions of you when you arrive on the Fourth and Fifth planes of Consciousness, that you may properly appreciate His transcedental experiences preserved for your edification. Last week I introduced you to the reactions of the human mortal crowds that met and heard Him in His first speaking trip through Northern Galilee. Attracted to His entourage were dozens of Pharisean spies, seeking evidence to be used against Him by the Sanhedrin down in Jerusalem . .

From the town of Iron, the visit to which I told you about last week, they departed for a place known as Chorazin, where they spent almost seven days. But their meetings were fruitless. No crowds of any size responded to their preachings and they were glad to pass up meetings there for a week of speakings attempted at Madon. But they fared little better. There prevailed in the minds of most of the Disciples the idea that their failure to meet with success was Jesus' insistence that they refrain from referring in their speakings to Jesus as a healer. The common people of Galilee seemed satisfied with their religion from its ethical viewpoints and welcomed no change in it, but Jesus as a healer was quite something else. The notion that subscribing to the tenets of a religion as applicable to Gentiles as to Hebrews and that placed the Jews in no especial position of favor with Divinity, left the great majority of the populace cold to the theology that Jesus was proclaiming respecting the Father-God and His earth-children. The average run of listeners to the preaching that the Apostles tried to do were quite satisfied with what the Religion of their fathers and forebears had branded into them. At the decision to go to Cana next the disciples were delighted. Hundreds of the Cana people would remember the celebrated wedding at which Jesus had turned the water into wine and respond to His instruction because they had been given evidence of His power to work miracles.

They had no sooner reached Cana, however, than they were accosted by one Titus of Capernaum, father of the convert who later would be martyred when the Judaistic frenzy against Jesus and His new religious ideas was really appealing to the inhabitants of Galilee, but young Titus was now ill and his father wanted relief for him at the hands of the miracle-worker who had cured 643 individuals in one morning at Zebedee's house. Jesus demanded of the father of the sick lad, Just how long must I bear with you? The powers of God are in your midst but except you see signs and behold wonders, you refuse to believe.

But the noblesman from Capernaum responded, My Lord, I DO believe but come ere my child perishes -- when I left him he was even then at the point of death.

Jesus bowed His head a moment in silent meditation, then suddenly spoke.

Return to your home. Your son will live!

Titus Senior believed Jesus then and hastened back to Capernaum. His servants met him with the news that the boy had rallied at death’s door and was alive and mending. The father inquired as to the hour that the change had come in his illness and learned it had occurred at the precise moment that Jesus had declared Your son will live, and Titus, the father, had believed in Christ's new religion with his whole heart, along with lesser members of the boy's family. Later in manhood the son would forfeit his life in martyrdom for the new religion at Rome but for the present it merely meant another miracle at Cana. The townspeople remembered the water and wine and now that He had seemingly healed the nobleman's son at so great a distance they began to overwhelm Him with ailing relatives of their own. When Jesus saw that the whole countryside was being aroused, He said, Let us go to Nain. So Cana did not get any series of sermons like the other places where they had first called. Nain was a small settlement southward from both Cana and Capernaum and the news of the healing of Titus' son flew quickly ahead of them. But they were to run into more complications in Nain.

As Jesus and His disciples drew near the gate of the city, they encountered a funeral procession on its way to the nearby cemetery, carrying the only son of a widowed mother of Nain. As the funeral procession came abreast of the apostolic party the widow and her friends recognized the Master and disciples and the demand went up from them to return the dead son to life. Their faith in miracles was such that they expected Jesus could cure any human affliction and why not such a healer likewise raise the dead? Our Lord stepped forward and raised the covering of the bier while the hub-bub was going on. Discovering -- as so often happened in that country -- that the boy was not truly dead or at least his life-cord not severed from his body -- He turned to the sorrowing mother and said: Weep not. Your son is not dead. He sleeps! He will be returned to you. Taking the young man by the hand, He addressed him, Awake and arise! And the youth who was supposed to be dead presently sat up, and the Master directed they all return to their homes.

Vainly He tried to explain that the lad had not really died, that He had not brought him back from the grave, that the boy had been in coma from absence of proper embalming. But the common folk of Nain were aroused to the highest pitch of frenzy. Fear even to panic seized on many while others fell to praying or wailing over their sins. Not until long after nightfall could the clamoring be dispersed. Everyone insisted that a miracle had been wrought, despite Jesus' statement that the boy had not been dead. Even the elders among the Nainites insisted that a miracle had been wrought, even to the dead raised and restored to life. Jesus decided they had to leave Nain next morning and not tarry for sermons or they would be faced with a similar situation to that of the Sabbath morning at Zebedee's house. These crowds would not be satisfied by anything other than miraculous healing. Endor was only a day's walk away from Nain, so Jesus elected to go there as the seat of the district where the Hebrew leader Saul had encountered the witch. They left Nain to its excitement over the restored widow's son and after a day's march, entered Endor.

Jesus disputed the basis of the story about the Witch of Endor and her visitations upon Saul. That she had been a bonafide witch, or evil spirit, He disputed in particular. Only after the passing of a dispensational age was it possible for the spirits of advancing man to return to earth and communicate with their fellows, then only in exceptional cases and as a part of the spiritual administration of the planet. All in all, Jesus decided that they would take matters easily in Endor, and rest. We will give the countryside its chance to quiet down, He told them, then let us return to Capernaum and teach. At home they will have recovered from all this sort of excitement.

So they turned their faces northward, up the western shore of Lake Galilee, arriving on Wednesday, the 17th of March. The Jerusalem Pharisees separated from them when it was plain they were returning to Capernaum, thus telling the more vigilant disciples they had indeed been spies and leaving them wondering what would become of it and how soon? The date of the spring Passover was drawing on and when they went down to it they might learn. Meanwhile Jesus disappeared into the hills for communion with the Father. The apostles treated individually with the people as they could.

Strange to relate, many of the household of Herod believed in Jesus and His teaching and attended the Bethsaida meetings that were held before the departure for Galilee for the nearing Passover. The influence of these believers helped to lessen that ruler's emnity, especially those at Tiberias. These explained to him that the Kingdom which Jesus proclaimed was spiritual in its nature and not a political venture. Herod inclined to believe these members of his own household and did not permit himself to become unduly alarmed by the spreading reports of Jesus' teaching and healing. He had no objections to Jesus' work as a healer or religious teacher.

Notwithstanding the favorable attitude of the King and his advisers, there existed a group of his subordinates so influenced by the religious leaders at Jerusalem that they remained bitter and dangerous enemies of Jesus and the Apostles and did much to hamper their activities. The greatest danger to Jesus lay in the Jerusalem religious leaders and not in Herod. It was for this reason that the Master and the Apostles spent so much of their time and did the most public preaching in Galilee, not in Judea.

The day before they made ready to start for Jerusalem and the Passover Feast, Mangus, a Roman guard, came to the Capernaum synagogue ruler, saying, My faithful orderly is ill and at the point of death. Would you be good enough to go to Jesus and beseech Him to heal my servant? The Roman captain did this because he thought the Hebrew leaders would have most influence with the Master. So the elders went to see Jesus, saying to Him: Teacher, we earnestly request that you go over to Capernaum and save the faithful servant of the Roman centurion. He is worthy of notice because he has shown that he loves our nation. He even built us the very synagogue wherein you have so many times spoken.

Jesus said simply, I will go with you. And He went with them to the centurion's house. Before they had entered the yard, however, the owner sent some friends to welcome Him, instructing them to say, 'Lord, trouble not yourself to enter my house for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof. I know that you can speak the word where you stand, and my servant will be healed. For I am myself under the orders of others and I have soldiers under me. I say unto this one 'Go!' and he goes, and to another 'Come!' and he comes, and to my soldiers 'Do this or do that' and they do it. And when Jesus heard these words He turned to the Disciples who were with Him and remarked, I marvel at the belief of this Gentile. Verily, verily, I say unto you I have not found a faith so great in all Israel. Turning from the house Jesus said, Let us go hence. The centurion's friends went into the house and reported what Jesus had said. But the sick servant began immediately to improve in health -- without Jesus having seen or addressed him. On the Akashic books, the servant's complete recovery is reported.

Early on the morning of Tuesday, March 30th, the Apostolic party began its journey to Jerusalem for the Passover Feast, going by the route of the Jordan Valley. It arrived on the afternoon of Friday, April 2nd and established headquarters as usual at Bethany. But they had scarcely gotten settled at the home of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus when news of it flew about and from near and far began to gather those who sought healing for troubled bodies so that Jesus had little time for rest. Therefore they pitched tents at Gethsemane, to which the Master would go to avoid the crowds which assailed Him. The apostolic party now spent three weeks at Jerusalem but Jesus had enjoined them to do no public preaching, only private counselling and personal work. At Bethany they quietly celebrated the Passover. It was the second Passover the disciples had eaten with the Master in Jerusalem.

The afternoon of the second Sabbath as Jesus and the Apostles were making ready for attendance at the Temple rites, John said to Jesus, Would you come with me? I would shew you something that should interest you. And Jesus assenting, John led Him through one of the Temple gates down to a pool of water called Bethesda. Surrounding this pool was a structure of five porches under which a large group of sufferers lingered in hope of healing. Eruption of waters in the pool from underground causes was reputed to carry magical healing properties to all who emersed above in it. The apostles were somewhat restless under the restrictions imposed by Jesus. John had brought the Master thither thinking that the sight of so many sufferers would make such an appeal to His compassion that He would be moved to make a miracle of healing; thereby might all Jerusalem be won to believe in the gospel of the Kingdom, John, said Jesus when He learned of it, why do you tempt Me to turn aside from the way I have chosen? Why do you go on desiring to substitute the working of physical wonders for the proclamation of the wonders of Eternal Truth? I may not do what you desire, my son, but gather together these sick and afflicted that I may speak words of good cheer and comfort to them. So John ruefully called to those around the pool to gather closer and Jesus addressed them. Many of you are here, He declared, sick and afflicted, because of your many years of wrong living. Some of you suffer from the accidents of Time, others are result of the mistakes of your forebears, while some of you struggle under the handicaps of the imperfect condition of your temporal existence. Now My Father works, and I would work, to improve your earthly state but more especially to improve you eternal estate. None of us can do much to change the difficulties of life unless we discover that the Father in heaven so wills. After all, we are all beholders to the will of the Eternal. If you could all be healed of your physical afflictions you would indeed marvel but it is infinitely greater that you should all be healed of all spiritual disease and find yourselves cured of all moral infirmaties. You are all God's children, sons of the heavenly Father. The bonds of Time may seem to afflict you but the God of Eternity loves you and when the times of judgment shall come, fear not! You shall all find, not only justice but an abundance of mercy. Verily, verily, I say to you: He who believes in the Kingdom and believes in the sonship with God, has eternal life. Already are such believers, passing from judgment and Death to light and life! And the hour is coming in which even those who are in their tombs shall hear the voice of the Resurrection!

Many of those who heard, upon this memorable occasion, believed the gospel of the Kingdom. Many of those who heard were so inspired and spiritually revivified that they went about proclaiming that they had been cured of their physical ailments! Then said Jesus to John: Let us depart ere the chief priests and the scribes come upon us and take offense that we spake words of life to these afflicted ones. And they returned to the Temple to join their companions. And presently all departed to spend the night in Bethany.

On the evening of the same Sabbath day, in Bethany, while Jesus, the Twelve, and a group of believers were assembled about the fire in Lazarus' garden, Nathaniel put several questions to Him regarding the doing unto others as they would have others do unto them. Listening among the group was one Simon, a Pharisee not a member of the Jewish Sanhedrin but nevertheless an influential Pharisee of Jerusalem. Although only a half-hearted believer and notwithstanding that he might be severely criticized therefor, he nevertheless dared to invite Jesus and His personal associates James, Peter, and John, to his home the following night for a sociable meal. Simon had long observed the Master and been much impressed with His teachings and even more so with His personality.

It was the custom of these Pharisees, when they provided a banquet for distinguished guests, to leave the doors of their homes open so that even the street beggars might come in, and, standing around the walls of the room behind the couches of the diners be imposition to receive portions of food which might be tossed to them by the diners. On this particular night at Simon's house, among those who came in off the street was a woman of unsavory reputation who had recently become a believer in the good news of the gospel of the Kingdom. This woman was known throughout all Jerusalem as the keeper of one of the high-caste brothels, located hard by the Temple court of the Gentiles. She had, on accepting the teachings of Jesus, closed up her nefarious place of business and induced a majority of the women associated with her to accept the Gospel and change their mode of living. Notwithstanding this she continued to be held in great disdain by the Pharisees and was compelled to keep on wearing her hair down her back -- the badge of harlotry. This nameless woman had brought with her a large flask of perfumed ointment. Standing behind Jesus as He reclined at meat, she began to anoint His feet while she likewise dampened His feet with her tears of remorse for what life had made of her. When she got His feet dampened, she proceeded to dry them with the hair of her head. When she had finished the anointing she continued weeping and kissing the feet.

When Simon saw this, he said to himself: This man, if He were a prophet, would have perceived what manner of woman this is, who thus touches Him: a notorious sinner. Jesus, knowing what was going on in Simon's mind, spoke up, saying: Simon, I have something I would like to say to you. A certain wealthy moneylender had two debtors. The one owed him five hundred denarii, the other fifty. Now when neither of them had wherewith to pay, he abruptly forgave them both. Which of them do you think, Simon, would love him most? Simon answered, He, I suppose, whom he forgave the most. To that Jesus said, You have correctly judged. Pointing to the woman who still sobbed near Him He adjured: Simon, take a good look at this woman. I entered your house as an invited guest yet you offered me no water for my feet. This grateful woman has washed my feet with tears and wiped them with the hair of her head. You gave me no kiss of friendly greeting, but this woman -- ever since she came in -- has not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil you neglected to anoint yet she has anointed my feet with precious lotions. And what is the meaning of all this? Simply that her many sins have been forgiven and that has led her to love much. But those who have received but little forgiveness sometimes love but little. Turning around toward the woman He took her by the hand. Lifting her up He said: You have indeed repented your sins, and they are forgiven. Be not discouraged by the thoughtless and unkind attitude of your fellows. Go on in the joy and liberty of the Kingdom of Heaven!

It is strange that
