Beginning of the 5th Root Race
Major catastrophic events reshaped the Earth’s geography, causing seismic changes and flooding.
Even His own lieutenants were not apparently admitted to His confidence, but were simply following out His directions; among these were several who are now Masters, and others who have passed onwards, away from our Earth.
The Gobi Sea became circular, and land was thrown up, now Siberia, separating it from the Arctic Ocean; Central Asia rose, and many torrents, caused by the unprecedented rainfall, cut deep ravines through the soft earth.
Terrible rains fell almost incessantly; masses of steam and clouds of dust enveloped the earth and darkened the air.
A number of promising children were cut off, but, after all, it did not much matter, for they all went out of earth-life together, grandparents, parents and children, and were ready to come back when the'Manu founded His family.
Turanian, in Ancient Chaldaea.
Vulcan, the intra-Mercurial planet, was duly represented, and the place in the scheme where our earth should have come in was occupied by the temple of the Moon — a large one, though the hemisphere which crowned it seemed disproportionately small, being constructed exactly to the same scale as the rest.
Close by this Moontemple there arose an isolated dome of black marble supported by pillars, which from its size was evidently intended to typify the Earth, but there was no shrine of any kind attached to it.
Something is it also of encouragement to him to know a little of the glory and the beauty that have been on this grand old earth of ours, and to know that that is but a pale forecasting of the glory and the beauty that are yet to be.
Atlantean Peruvian Civilization
Astronomy held a special place in their knowledge, with an understanding of planetary movements, eclipses, and the shape of the earth.
It is a little difficult to give an idea of the physical appearance of the race inhabiting the country, for no race at present existing on earth sufficiently resembles it to suggest a comparison, without misleading our readers in one direction or another.
Such representatives of the great third sub-race of the Atlantean Eoot Race as are still to be seen on earth are degraded and debased, as compared with the Eace in its glory.
Another point of similarity between this ancient system and our own is to be found in the exceeding care with which the land was surveyed, parcelled out, and above all analysed — the chief object of all this investigation being to discover the exact constitution of the earth in every part of the country, in order that the most appropriate crop might be planted in it, and the most made out of it generally.
First, they kept up the splendid temples of the Sun all over the land — kept them up on such a scale that many a small village shrine had golden ornaments and decorations that would now represent many thousands of pounds, while the great cathedrals of the larger cities blazed with a magnificence which hap never since been approached anywhere upon earth.
They knew that before this final consummation many other long periods of existence must intervene, but we cannot find that they realised with certainty that any part of that future life would be spent upon this earth again.
He pointed out that both these actions were absolutely continuous — that though sometimes the Sun was hidden from the sight of His child the earth, yet the cause of such temporary obscuration was to be found in the earth and not in the Sun, for one had only to climb far enough up the mountains in order to rise above the overshadowing clouds, and discover that their Lord was shining on in glory all the time, entirely unaffected by the veil which seemed so dense when seen from below.
They understood that the planets differed from the rest of the stars, and spoke of them as the sisters of the earth — for they recognised that the earth was one of them — or sometimes 'the elder children of the Sun.
' They knew that the earth was globular in shape, that day and night were due to its rotation on its axis, and the seasons to its annual revolution round the sun.
The Civilisation of Atlantis
Other towns on the plains were protected by immense earth banks faced with metal plates, forming nearly impregnable barriers against contemporary weapons.
Their knowledge extended to manipulating natural forces for propulsion and construction, even achieving feats such as making heavy objects repel the earth's gravity.
On the summit of this hill lay the Emperor's palace and gardens, in the centre of which welled up from the earth a never-ending stream of water, supplying first the palace and the fountains in the gardens, thence flow-
Other large towns, built on the plains, were protected by immense banks of earth, sloping towards the town, and sometimes terraced, while, on the outward side, they were faced with thick plates of metal, clamped together; these were supported on great beams of wood, the uprights being driven deeply into the earth; when these were in place, and connected with heavy crossbars, the plates were attached to them, overlapping like scales, and then the space between the earth-work and the barrier was filled with earth, solidly rammed together.
Forces, the knowledge of which has been lost, were known to the science of the day; one of these was used for the propulsion of both air-and water-ships; another for so changing the relation of heavy bodies to the earth, that the earth repelled instead of attracting them, so making the raising of gigantic stones to a lofty height a matter of the greatest ease.
They were more often alchemically produced than sought for in the crust of the earth, and were often very artistically introduced to add richness to schemes of decoration, carried out in brilliant colours.
Climate and Time
Croll identified cycles of varying eccentricity of the Earth's orbit, which he estimated to occur roughly every 100,000 years.
This cycle affects the shape of Earth's orbit, ranging from more circular to more elliptical.
He discussed the precession cycle, where the Earth's axis wobbles like a spinning top.
Precession affects the timing of the seasons relative to the Earth's position in its orbit.
Croll noted changes in the Earth's axial tilt, which occur over a cycle of about 41,000 years.
Professor James Croll's seminal work, "Climate and Time in Their Geological Relations: A Theory of Secular Changes of the Earth's Climate" (published in 1875), presents a groundbreaking theory on the long-term changes in the Earth's climate.
Croll proposed that variations in the Earth's orbit and axial tilt, known as Milankovitch cycles, significantly influence long-term climate patterns.
These cycles affect the distribution and intensity of solar radiation received by the Earth, leading to periods of glaciation and interglaciation.
Eccentricity of Earth's Orbit:
He highlighted the importance of changes in the eccentricity (shape) of the Earth's orbit around the sun.
Croll examined the effects of the precession of the equinoxes (the wobble in the Earth's rotation) and changes in the obliquity (the tilt of the Earth's axis).
The Destruction of Atlantis
1:2) that in the beginning the earth was without form and void, and covered with water.
1:9), "And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so." The Quiche legend says, "The creative spirits cried out 'Earth!' and in an instant it was formed, and rose like a vapor-cloud; immediately the plains and the mountains arose, and the cypress and pine appeared."
The Aztec legend says, "The sun was much nearer the earth then than now, and his grateful warmth rendered clothing unnecessary."
Seven Levels of Existence
Father Seán also extends this concept to the planet itself, proposing that Earth has seven levels:
Germanic Mythology and Ancient Civilizations
One could say that, similar to the general populace, a race arose in this realm of the earth that was very dissimilar to present-day humanity.
The Rainbow
The rainbow often touches the earth at two points, sometimes forming a full circle.
Legend of the Grand Canyon
One story is that before the Diné, or the five-fingered beings, were placed on the surface of Mother Earth, the two boys had to get rid of all the evil things on the earth before they could bring the Diné, or the children of the Holy People, here.
A populated universe
Planetary Rehabilitation: Many creation stories describe Earth as being rehabilitated by advanced beings after a flood.
This is not a creation story—this is the memory of a devastation of the planet and a rehabilitation of the planet when others turn up from somewhere else and assist with the rehabilitation of the environment and the re-nurturing of life on Earth.[30:38] There’s an overlap from there to the Filipino stories, the Nigerian stories of Osanobua, the Almighty One above the waters.
Genesis 11 begins with the verse saying, "In the beginning, all the land on Earth had a single coastline." That’s referring to what we call Pangaea.
I think civilization on Earth is far older than we are, and our ancestors had some notion of it and sewed it into world mythology.
In the biblical story, the flood happened to get rid of this awful hybridized presence on the planet that was again a breaking of authority in some way, on the basis of agreements among the sky council governing Project Earth.[38:07] That’s the Genesis story of it, but it’s assumed we know this—it’s told so quickly in Genesis 6.
Agricultural Renewal: It celebrated the renewal of the earth and the start of the agricultural cycle.
In the days before the destruction, a large comet entered the solar system, taking up an eccentric orbit that crossed Earth’s path twice a year, raining down remnants that caused great destruction over two decades.
The Atlanteans were deeply connected to the Earth and nature, but there was a split between those who retained this connection and those who succumbed to fear-based beliefs.
Significance: The festival marked the New Year and was held to ensure the renewal of the earth, the king, and society.
It was an essential part of the Esagila complex and symbolized the connection between heaven and earth.
The death of Adam
A common belief is that Noah carried Adam’s bones in the Ark, and they were buried in Jerusalem, the supposed center of the earth.
“Here lies, reduced to a pinch of dust, he who, from a pinch of dust, was formed to govern the earth, Adam,the son of None, the father of All, the stepfather of All and of himself.
An apparition involves a divine entity making itself known to a person on Earth, a concept supported by most Christian denominations.
Phoenix
Symbolically, the fenghuang's body represents celestial bodies: the head is the sky, the eyes are the sun, the back is the moon, the wings are the wind, the feet are the earth, and the tail is the planets.
The World Ice Theory
Hörbiger claimed that Earth and other planets have had multiple moons made of ice that periodically crash into the planets, causing cataclysmic events such as floods and changes in climate.
The theory posits that many of Earth's geological and climatic changes, as well as historical catastrophes described in myth and legend (such as the Great Flood), can be attributed to the impacts and influences of these ice moons.
His blood becomes the oceans, his flesh the earth, his bones the mountains, his hair the trees, and his skull the sky.
These apples were a wedding gift from Gaia (Earth) to Hera, the queen of the gods, upon her marriage to Zeus.
It is often associated with the four elements (earth, water, air, fire) and the four cardinal directions (north, south, east, west).
Uranus
Uranus is one of the primal gods, born from Chaos or emerging directly from Gaia (the Earth), depending on the mythological account.
He represents the sky in its primal, untouched form, enveloping the earth and providing a place for the gods to reside.
Uranus was both the son and husband of Gaia (the Earth).
This union between sky and earth was foundational in Greek cosmogony, explaining the origin of many key entities and forces in the world.
Its orbit takes approximately 84 Earth years to complete.
Apkallu
Uanna, "who finished the plans for heaven and earth",
The Holy Seven
Utuabzu is one of the Mesopotamian Apkallu, thought to have ascended to heaven and brought divine secrets to earth, representing deep wisdom and esoteric knowledge.
Androgyne Adam
They say that the first man was created of the dust of the earth, and was placed in a garden, where he was subject to none of the ills which now affect mortality; he was also free from all bodily appetites, and though surrounded by delicious fruit and limpid streams, yet felt no desire to taste of the fruit or to quaff the water.
In China, the story is told that the Goddess Amida sweated male children out of her right arm-pit, and female children from her left arm-pit, and these children peopled the earth.
Another story is to the effect, that the right arm of Vena gave birth to Pritu, the master of the earth, and the left arm to the Virgin Archis, who became the bride of Pritu.
"The Sire who rules the earth and sways the poleHad spoken; laughter filled his secret soul:He bade the crippled god his hest obey,And mould with tempering water plastic clay;With human nerve and human voice investThe limbs elastic, and the breathing breast;Fair as the blooming goddesses above,A virgin likeness with the looks of love.He bade Minerva teach the skill that shedsA thousand colours in the glittering threads;He called the magic of love's golden queenTo breathe around a witchery of mien,And eager passion's never-sated flame,And cares of dress that prey upon the frame;Bade Hermes last endue, with craft refinedOf treacherous manners, and a shameless mind."
One version recounts Lilith’s refusal to assume a subservient position during intimate relations, asserting her belief in equality as both were created from the earth’s dust. Disagreeing with Adam, Lilith chose to depart the Garden of Eden.
