Huna Vistas Bulletin 21

Creating a “World Religion”

May, 1961

 

IF OUR LUCK HOLDS we may still have time to outline a World Religion, done to fit the several levels of intelligence. In response to my request for information in the last Huna Vistas, I had a most gratifying response. There came in letters and prophecies dealing with the next cosmic disaster, some excellent article material, and some pointed questions.

WE HAVE “THREE GUESSES” I would say. First that the thin skin of the earth will break at the South Pole, where the weight of ice increases each year and where the crust may crack, causing the whole of the crust to move around, break up, push into ridges to form mountain chains to elevate ocean floors, and to cause lands now above water to sink. The second guess is that the ice mass at the South Pole will cause the “Polar Flip” and put the tropics in the arctic regions, as, apparently, has been done in the past, there being found tropical growth evidence under the present polar regions – coal in the South Pole mountains of today, for one thing. Such a flip would, it is said, be accompanied by crust movements, floods and volcanic activities, all adding up to the survival of a few, like an Adam and Eve pair to start re-populating the earth. The foregoing are the popular guesses of today. The third guess was the one on which I needed most information and got none at all. It is that of Donnelly, in his old book, Ragnarok, mentioned in HV20. His guess was that, in addition to other possible causes, the one supported by the legends and physical evidence of the glacial “DRIFT” (clay and gravel, mainly) there might have been a brush with a comet or very large meteor, and if the earth simply passed through the tail of a comet it would be burned in such a way that the melting of rock surfaces could be thus explained. The comet might even cause a polar flip, or could melt so much ice that the ocean levels would rise suddenly. In any event, Donnelly pointed out, there was some cause for a blast of cold air following the first blast of heat. If the burning of air caused a center of air expansion at first, a following contraction would come when the heat dissipated, and, as we all know, such contraction would cause temperatures to fall in a fantastic manner. Squeeze air enough and one gets “liquid air,” which is cold, cold, cold. Read more
