Ra and the Flat Earth

[andreazzi]

It is my experience that Earth is round. This is seen by my standing on top of the mountains around the Arizona Valley I live in, and not being able to see far off into the horizon to either the closer West Coast, or further East Coast, or even the border of Mexico. I play Minecraft. That world is flat. I can see as far as the game will load in blocks (after disabling fog). The same does not occur in real life on Earth, a horizon (see: curve) along of the Earth's crust blocks my view from seeing the far ends of the country I live in. That to me is proof enough that Earth is not Flat as in Perfectly Flat.

This is only one among many examples: how do you explain the fact that one can see Chicago Skyline from Michigan City over lake Michigan? (Scientists explain this as a 'mirage'!)

It however doesn't disprove the Earth being a curved plane that does not wrap around into a sphere. However; I must call upon the kybalion of Hermeticism and point out their clause As Above So Below.

You mean that there are only spherical bodies in the seen Universe? Do we know this for sure? Besides that, this is my humble interpretation: The main focus of the Hermetic tradition, as any other esoteric school, is Consciousness, that is, there's a direct correspondence between Macro and Microcosmic Consciousness. To follow a path towards the Creator is to follow the inner path, the esoteric path.

If Earth is flat, then so is the Universe we inhabit. As far as we can see, we can look up, down, left and right in our universe and find substance in every direction as far as can be seen by our technology. If the Universe is flat, it definitely has a very non-flat interior about it which breaks this As Above So Below concept.
However, a Flat Plane intersecting the Shape could be said to be described even upon the surface of the Shape, as the Shape itself being Flat, though it is a somewhat strange leap of logic in my opinion.

I go back to what I have been saying: I don't believe the Earth is round or flat, I do believe it's a mental construct. A plane of experience. Actually, my point is that we cannot prove the Earth is round. There is something wrong with the current model. Is it because it's flat and not round? Is it because we dwell in a infinite plane? Is it because we actually live in a mental Matrix and to talk about it's shape make no sense at all? I don't know. But there are many lies out there, that's for sure.

For the theory that the Earth is Flat to have become so constantly...Perpetuated, is in essence to change the very perception of reality, and potentially if severely enough done, maybe even actually change reality, since the fabric of reality is thought, and reality being self-creating is essentially a moment-by-moment perpetuation of fixated concepts. The Earth may very well have once been a perfect Sphere, and is now becoming Spheroidal, perhaps the physics of the universe push this natural elongation for a specific mathematically fundamental reason. I don't know, but I like to think that maybe one day the Earth will not be subjugated to such rigid labels as 'Spheroid' or 'Flat' or 'Round', and just seen as a naturally occurring shape made by it's own will-- And since our Will is collectively shared by God/The One Infinite, a great manner of dis/similarity exists, akin to the similarity of the eyeball to the mouth, and the left ear to the right ear. Only in this instance, it's that the flatness of the forehead does not beget the entire head being called Flat, even if the entire front face of the head can be described as Flat.

Yes! Very interesting observation. I think this awakening/questioning process has something to do with Earth's ascension and your conclusions totally fit under the concept of a realization that we live in a actual mental construct. I really think this is the right line of thought.

At the very least, I request you compromise with me here, that the Earth is both Flat and Round. Is that an acceptable request of you? I feel that in the creation of infinity where polarity forms dichotomies that are paradoxically mimicking of one another, that the true ability to perceive the true nature of the shape of our planet is beyond our capability to 'absolutely' determine, as is anything 'beyond' our scientific understanding as a Yellow-Ray Civilization grasping at a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the universe perceivable to it. In this case, that we cannot absolutely determine either that the Earth is Flat or Round.

Yes, I accept your request. Since my point of view implies that the Earth experience is an organized collective dream, it's shape can be any or none. It has a shape and hasn't at the same time. In this density of ours, we are always subject to a paradox. Your conclusions are very similar to mine. Thanks a lot!
