Have you ever wondered about ancient civilisations? Have you ever thought it absurd that the Egyptians are said to have built the pyramids with ropes and palm tree logs and thousands of slaves? Have you ever wondered why there are legends about lost civilisations such as Atlantis?
We are not told the truth about these mysteries because the truth is not known. But it is also true that if the truth were known it would seriously upset the established Judeo-Christian world view that dominates western culture. This is the real reason that serious questions are not even addressed, let alone answered.
You may not know that Einstein’s theories of relativity and special relativity were an attempt to explain away awkward evidence that clearly showed the earth is NOT moving through space at 90 times the speed of sound—as it would have to be if it were orbiting the sun! The Michelson-Morley experiments of 1887 produced results that contradicted what mainstream ‘science’ wanted, so these results had to be ‘explained away’. Einstein came to the rescue and became the ‘saviour’ of the establishment view. This is the real reason he was lauded and celebrated, not because he came up with anything clever, or even intelligible! No, the preservation of the establishment world view and the sanctity of the established pseudo-scientific order were a higher priority than truth and genuine knowledge— as they are still today. This is why the work of Mario Buildreps and Mike Stone, and Simon Shack is so important. These citizen scientists are the real deal, in that they practice uncensored, unrestricted inquiry, that dares to ask the forbidden questions.
In Episode 176 of “Living outside the Matrix” I interview Mario Buildreps, an engineer and amateur geologist, who has used a purely mathematical method to establish the historical likelihood of 5 previous positions for the geographic north pole, as it has moved over the past 350,000 years. These are based on the cardinal orientation of ancient structures and give an extremely high mathematical likelihood of past pole positions. They also constitute strong evidence of an expanding earth causing significant geological upheavals that coincide with the ice age time line. This is BIG. Mario has evidence that Stone Henge, for example, was very probably built around 260,000 years ago. This sort of evidence means that civilised societies with technological know-how greater than we have today, existed hundreds of thousands of years ago!
Mario theorizes that levels of human consciousness fluctuate over time in accordance with what some mystics have called the Yugas. I see the more likely cause of the rise and fall of ancient civilisations, as the dominance (or lack thereof) of reason as the fundamental guiding principle of the people living at any given time. We see an example in recent history. The Greek civilisation was a period when reason dominated. It was conquered and subsumed by Rome, and eventually the dominance of reason was eroded and waned. Rome fell, and 1000 years of the dark ages followed when mysticism subordinated reason to religious dogma. It was only the renaissance (rebirth of reason) that brought us back to reason, and consequently to the modernity we enjoy today.
The reason for civilisations collapsing and disappearing could also be due to cataclysmic disasters caused by crustal deformations as the earth has expanded. There is very good evidence to support this line of reasoning. Whichever way you look at it, humanity appears to have been around for considerably longer than we are led to believe. This gives us a completely different and expanded context for our current civilisation, and raises the question of what drives civilisation to rise and fall. Is it the dominance of rationality in the thinking of men? Is it critical thinking using the epistemology of reason, and valuing facts evidence and logical arguments? Or is it something else that mysteriously causes the collective capabilities of human beings to rise and fall?

Yeah, I’ve wondered about many of these things and more.
If the earth has expanded, we’re facing even larger elephants in the room than the inconsistencies of plate tectonics, which doesn’t invalidate the theory.
A recurring thought that haunts me, in theology is; I wonder what picture would emerge if all the religions that have made their mark on us were placed on transparencies, laid on top of one another and placed on the overhead projector,
I believe that believing in nothing is unhealthy, but not as unhealthy as believing in that which is not true.
I’ve found that the pursuit of certainty is a journey into the vast, ever changing universe of the self.
Perhaps that’s the real, unavoidable journey we’re all experiencing.
The lenses of science are narrow and specific. The methods are slow and deliberate. The disciplines are compartmentalized and only occasionally share data (like overlapping transparencies) to discover unanticipated results.
All roads lead both to and away from the truth.
I suspect that we’re equipped with a manual of sorts, in our genetic code. If that’s true, then devising a method to explore our instruction manual may expedite our search for truth in what we consider to be the outside world. Perhaps the outside world isn’t what we expect at all. Perhaps, if we can figure out how to “read our manual”, we may, for the first time, see the truth.
What we’ve tried so far seems to lead to constant controversy.
Thanks for your comment Mike.
I remain optimistic that truth is knowable. I am writing a manual on how to do so called “the truth seekers guide”. I wish it were a quick simple and easy task, and a quick simple and easy write.
