While Raphael seems more than moderately unhinged, there is something to the possibility of sudden global climate change and the rapid onset of a a period of glaciation. The Pentagon has been spun up on this topic for some time now. I posted a link to an ONA write up on it several weeks ago.

Indeed, the geological/archeological record is pretty clear that the Earth (and presumably humanity) has undergone other periods of sudden climate change.

While its not exactly relevant to the topic of Ice Age!, the most recent Scientific American (Oct 2006) has a very interesting article about mass extinction events. It is conventional wisdom that MEEs are related to bolide impacts but it appears that conventional wisdom is not nearly as wise as some think. A new theory is emerging, one that holds these MEEs are related to climate change. As the world heats up, the ability of the oceans to hold disolved oxygen is impaired. Sort of like how a warmed coke looses its carbonation. As the volume of O2 in the oceans decreases, the chemocline rises closer to the surface. If the warming is sufficient, the chemocline actually breachs the surface and in the process releases enormous quantities of H2S into the atmosphere. Marine plant and animal life as well as terrestrial plant and animal life is devestated in the process.

Global warming plays a part in such a scenario, obviously. The study discussed in the SciAm article has a benchmark. When atmospheric carbon 13 reachs 1000ppm, the switch appears to be thrown. Right now, the readings are at about 325ppm with a 2ppm annual increase. At that rate, we have about 200 years...assuming the Ice Age does not come first...

As an aside, Raphael, have you read Graham Hancock's Underworld. Its absolutely fascinating.

You want some new thoughts Basil ... I love the smell of basil ... I love rubbing Basil between my fingers.

Did I say sinking Basil?

The PHYSICAL shifting or sliding of the poles has been documented many times in the past is what I said Basil…I would like to add the physical pole and its antipodal sister…because we rarely talk about the shift that takes place in the south.
So I am glad you responded confirming two things:

“So yes, the West Coast of Canada was at one time the Southern Coast of the North American continent”

and

“In fact, your best bet for crustal sinking would lie in an ice age not a warm age, where you can pile much ice on a continent and cause subsidence temporarily until the ice melts off”.

Is this the present scenario, is the ice melting off the ice shelfs?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('basil_hayden', ' ')
What I detected was pure crap. But you're right, and deserve a finer explanation. Plate tectonics is the Earth's heat engine in motion and has nothing at all to do with the core, except that's the oven that gets plate movement rolling. Mantle plumes convect, plates are dragged away from spreading centers, toward convergent centers, and along transforms. Plumes not associated with a plate edge tend to form hot spots like Hawaii in the middle of the thin Pacific plate. So yes, the West Coast of Canada was at one time the Southern Coast of the North American continent. I'll even go further to say it was a dry, desert mesa environment prior to subduction of the Pacific and Juan de Fuca plates. But crustal sinking? LOL it's a density thing, Jeeves, crust is less dense than mantle, so until we change the densities, we have not a worry. In fact, your best bet for crustal sinking would lie in an ice age not a warm age, where you can pile much ice on a continent and cause subsidence temporarily until the ice melts off.

...I really really really want what you're smoking Raph, it would make life so much easier to be completely oblivious to reality and just put one's own spin on it.


First Basil nobody really knows what exists at the core of the earth…what I detect is pure crap.

PO doubters go here for the Theory of Crust Displacement not endorsed by the mainstream for what it potentially suggests.

Proof >>>>> http://www.crystalinks.com/crustal.html

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')n earth crust displacement is a movement of the entire crust as a single unit over the inner layers of our planet.


This theory was endorsed by Albert Einstein.

proof >>>> http://www.flem-ath.com/e-h.htm


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Raphael', '
')Maybe Albert and I are smokin’ the same shit Basil?
I know Sagan and I shared a certain love of tokin’ and then doing some star-gazing, all three of us coming to the same conclusions and understanding that exists a higher power that connects us all.
I know how important it is here at PO to use the right terminology…due to the habit of a rush to judgment…I did use the words crust displacement.

The West Coast being a south coast at one time may help explain why the West Coast Haida Indian share a similar dialect to the Sumerians.
And it also helps explain why there exist similarities between Judaism and the Indian Medicine Wheel, the Aztec and the Inca.

Once I get my scanner going I will present sketches showing the connections between the cultures apparently separated by an ocean yet we have evidence of much earlier contact.

Using the most profound pre-historic symbol, the multi-talented, all-encompassing irreverent and reverent swastika. How easily the swastika and the square are used as the foundations to draw Solomon’s knot. The first Jewish king.

Basil I will suggest jumped to conclusions thinking I was going to suggest that beyond the Pillars of Hercules is out in the mid-Atlantic…nope.

Atlantis located in the World Ocean and is in fact Antarctica.
Get a globe … rotate it until the continent of Antarctica rests in the middle.
It sits in the middle of the World Ocean surrounded by a ring of land.

Basil these two quotes attributed to you …

“So yes, the West Coast of Canada was at one time the Southern Coast of the North American continent”

and

“In fact, your best bet for crustal sinking would lie in an ice age not a warm age, where you can pile much ice on a continent and cause subsidence temporarily until the ice melts off”.

…is actually information presented in a book called “When the Sky Fell, In Search of Atlantis” written by Rand and Rose Flem-Ath with an afterword by John Anthony West.

basil and Basil ... what are you smokin', drinkin' watchin'?

You speak of reality based on what Basil, I am to accept your 'reality'?
Who are you?
You have obviously been fed mainstream drival... science not unlike religion that has been directed to go in certain directions...
The truth will soon be revealed ... too late ... blub ... blub.
Like ice cubes plopping into the World Ocean ... and the UV rays will purify the oceans and you and me in preparation for a new golden age ... a new world order.

Duh.

Raphael


OK, I'll play Raph, I have time to waste and no desire to convert you. The only problem is that I don't care to reveal much of my belief system because to me, spirituality is an inside thing not to be worn on one's sleeve.

Yes, basil the herb is tasty when fresh, grew and dried a nice batch this year of Genovese - full of frangrant trichomes; Basil the bourbon is even better, I urge you to sample it at your convenience if so disposed.

My basic problem with what appears to be your outlook, not to get into a reality discussion, is that you look towards symbols developed for spiritual purposes to discuss physical stuff. You forget that the spiritual symbols were in fact developed by humans to fill in the blanks of the physical world, they are merely incomplete representations that relate to the level of understanding available when the symbol was first developed.

In other words, if I invent an imaginary friend as a child and count on it to guide me as an adult, I think I'm screwed.

Yes, I thought there was something there about sinking, and yes I try to be aware of word selection in this format, but maybe if we both give each other some leeway we can get closer to the bottom of this. For example, I'm not going into every little geologic detail, and I don't know everything, yet.

I think what you're referring to, or at least what I'm familiar with and what is geologically proven, is that magnetic poles of Earth exhibit shifting, and with that comes the temporary failure of the magnetic field, allowing cosmic rays to pummel Earth and cause extinctions. There is no geologic proof that either the physical poles have shifted beyond precession (the 52K year cycle I think) or that the crust moves as one shell. Plates move individually - look at Hawaii and it's origins versus the Azores - if the whole shell moved, the dissplacement would have had the same direction and magnitude for both islands over hot spots.

So, YES! the ice is melting off the continents, not accumulating on them, so the mechanism of your physical pole shift negates your prediction. No ice accumulation, no pole shift. Except that physical pole shift seems to be nonsense unless you're talking about shifts of rotation after getting popped by a large meteorite or something.

As far as what's in the center of the Earth - geophysics has come a long way and the interpretation of the way waves pass through the Earth is pretty much nondebatable. Temps, state, viscosity, pressure, lithology - determined geophysically and confirmed where possible in the field. But you're right, I haven't taken a trip to the center of the Earth since those shrooms in college. It really could be fluffy nougat, or hell I guess. But by the same token goes your physical pole shift theory - how do the writers know the woolly mammoths ate warm weather food and croaked immediately? Were they there? And was it due to climate change or just an unusual snowstorm?

Also - what does doubting PO have to do with crustal displacement, LOL? Take the sandwich board off already. Just because it's "not endorsed by the mainstream" doesn't mean it's right. I think cars come from inorganic seeds planted in Japan - does that make it correct?

Charles Hapgood and Albert Einstein in 1954 did not have the geologic knowledge of 2006, did he? There's pole shift and plate tectonics - closely related and the proofs are similar, but they are distinguishable, and even a lightweight environmental geologist with a BS like me can see there's no pole shift evidence and plenty of plate shift evidence. Truthfully, it has been brought up that the entire Earth may be expanding very slowly and very slightly, but measurement error precludes us from determining this for sure. a little more expansion here than there and the plates of the orange skin shift similarly to mantle convection.

If you're saying that things on Earth can shift on virtually a moment's notice - I completely agree, it's what makes life fun!

Now Raph, like I said before, I WANT what you're smoking, even if we have to share with Albert, or Carl. I'm down with that.

So to get back to belief system, here's mine, it's simple:

Yes to a higher power, God or whatever you want to name or represent it, something had to exist, make the laws of nature and set the ball in motion. After that, I'm not seeing much, especially interaction with it's creations. Well, except for the virgin mary toast thing on Ebay.

It's easy to put your own meaning to someone else's symbols. And it's easy for separate peoples to develop similar symbol sets - they're both trying to describe the same world, the same Earth. Where there are differing climates on Earth, there are different symbols, because things work differently in these areas. For example, Mesopotamia and Egypt counted on floods to enrich their soils, so there's many river gods. The symbols are very different for the southwest native americans, correct? I'm not an anthropologist, maybe you could strighten me out with a link that doesn't start with the word crystal, new or age. dot edu would work.

Atlantis is a cute story used by generations to keep people in line, like most myths. I'd love to believe it's somewhere, but I think we've looked everywhere; strike that - you've picked the only place we haven't looked yet. Except Antarctica doesn't look sunk to me, it looks snowy, for now.

As far as my intake - only the finest, only the finest, life's too short for anything else. That goes for my uptake too - I filter all drivel, mainstream or otherwise, and people posting wild-assed theories with absolutely no proof is tough for me to take, but maybe I just have to keep the faith. Truth begins somewhere, often by disproving lies.

The thing is, I think you're right in the end - the reset button will surprise us soon. It's the mechanisms that (I think) are wrong and I, as you are, am trying to put the details on it. The answers are all around us, but we're too busy with other baloney.
Would you rather me let you blather on or hold your feet to the fire? Feel free to keep my feet in the fire, my physical reality proofs to a spiritualist must be easier than your spiritual proofs to someone mired in physical science.

ok check it - 666 layers of the abyss.
Each layer is another awakening - each time you think you are "awake" only to realize its just another shell of the matrix.
Let me guess someone already had this thought....bastards!! ;-)

The pole shift could happen(ed) for natural cyclic reasons and then again............
IMHO - Pangea was struck by a massive meteor in the GOM region long before the Yucatan plop and that is when the slowly cooling egg was cracked.......humpty dumpty.

Atlantis - after seeing a special on this subject the other night I am fairly convinced that the menoans were the atlantians.
The only other explanation would be the the menoans were a very direct atlantian remnant yet wouldnt they be smart enough then to NOT build a magnificent city on top of a cauldera? ;-)

Imagine what would happen to the worlds "magma" pressure if a massive meteor pushed hard into the earth.
This also helps me explain GOM oil anomalies which people use to prop up abiotic oil will save us theory....
I bet this planet killer made good penetration and caused pressure to be released by every volcano in the world.
There may be something to the christian timeline after all ;-)
3500 years is the timeline the archeologists give for the menoan civilization.

"moderately unhinged" muahahah now thats a good one ;-)

The island of Thera, blew up in the 15th century BC, and really messed up the Minoans. I think that's where the Atlantis story originated too. Plato put Atlantis out in the Atlantic Ocean and 9000 years earlier, but those were days of clouded oral history even in Platos time.

Ok I have read it all and the other pages.
Not the first time it has just been a long time.
What would cause a 45 degree shift of the earths axis?
and
So you mean there are no aliens or concentration camps? ;-)

Thanks Raphael, I'll look into it and I think I see where you're going.

If I may briefly summarize -

The symbols are basically a summary of tens of thousands of years of human observation of our surroundings, not magical or spiritual at all.

Kind of like gardening by a lunar calendar - I don't think the moon's gravity has a damned thing to do with it, but the "schedule" has been proven over thousands of years and works.

I just keep thinking that if I were dropped on a desert island with amnesia, I'd eventually develop similar symbology, since I'm human and this is Earth.

If god = energy, devil = entropy? Or just lack of energy? Hmmm
Where does life force fit in?

As an aside, I saw a Namaste bumpersticker the other day, I may have to actually look that one up now...

Enjoy the weekend, must dig up potatoes before any wicked frost.

Hey Raph, do you get CoasttCoast AM up where you live? Tonight:

6-10pm PT Show: Ian welcomes scholar and mythologist John Lash, who'll speak about the Gnostics and goddess Sophia.

I'm going to listen. Gnostics are interesting. 6-10pm PT means on the west coast down here in the US.
