Speculations on Elenin

Three names came to mind when I first started down the Elenin rabbit hole: Walter Cruttenden, Graham Hancock, and David Talbott.

Each of these authors is a fringe theorist trying to rewrite history, particularly where it concerns cosmology.

Cruttenden advocates that our Sun is actually part of a binary star system with Sirius. He believes that the magnetic forces from Sirius B that shower our solar system when the binary cycle brings Sirius A and B closest to our Sun are attributable to the myths of Golden Ages in our prehistory. As the binary stars depart, we descend into Dark Ages.

Hancock proposes that all great ancient civilizations, namely those of Central America and Egypt, inherited their knowledge of architecture and astronomy from a much older civilization that was wiped out by a global catastrophe. The monuments that these later civilizations built, were designed to remember and point us toward a moment in time.

Talbott's case is twofold: gravity is not the force that holds the universe together, electricity is; our solar system used to be very different in terms of its alignment. The planets used to be much closer together and some kind of cosmic disturbance caused them to be violently separated.

Cruttenden doesn't factor much into this discussion. His thoughts on Sirius are certainly interesting but all in all, it's an optimistic daydream with some halfway decent science to back it up.

What Hancock and Talbott both suggest in order to give credence to their theories, and indeed what totally unrelated author David Abram has suggested in his book Spell of the Sensuous, is that we have a deep misunderstanding of what mythology actually is. Through Literature, Psychology, and more recently Film, we have developed the concepts of story and of fiction and we look back at myth from this obscured perspective. In order to make sense of these stories that have no bearing in the natural world that surrounds us, we apply rationalizations like archetypes, primitive misunderstandings and imaginative interpretations. But in actuality, myth was a way to remember. Myth and ritual both were acts of record keeping. And while we see no natural analog to the myths, the cosmos was a very different place in ancient times.

Talbott claims that the planets once loomed large in the skies of Earth until something disturbed the union of Saturn/Venus/Mars. Talbott references the ubiquity of common symbolism in art and myth from all over the globe to suggest that they were all interpretations of events in the sky.

Hancock writes of the common themes of the flood myth from around the world. The floods were coupled or caused by great cosmic upheaval as well. Is it Talbott's planets falling out of alignment? Hancock eerily includes a quote from an Aboriginal Australian claim that "the sky used to be lower."

Could the plasma flares from misaligning planets be the fire that rained down on earth? Could the shift in gravity caused floods? What caused the misalignment to begin?

There are those who believe that on its path towards the sun, the gravity of Elenin aligning with the Earth is responsible for shifts that cause the major earthquakes of the past year or so. Namely in Chile and Japan. There are videos on youtube of people accurately warning of an incident following the alignment in March by merely following the alignments as shown by NASAs JPL map.

Here's where it gets weird: I noticed the official NASA don't worry story says "Elenin will pass by and not return for another 12,000 years."

So is Elenin on a 12,000 year elliptical orbit around the sun? 12,000 years ago puts us at 10,000 BC. That is the key year in Hancock's theories. That's the year the pyramids of Giza lineup with Orion's belt, the Sphynx with Leo, and the Nile with the Milky Way. Were ancient cultures so inclined to believe in cyclic ideas of time because they studied the return of comets? Did Elenin knock the original order of the solar system out of alignment?

Carl Callerman also developed a combination of all the Mayan calendars: the Long Count, the Tzolkin and the Haab to get a new end date in October of this year. Right as Elenin is the closest to the earth.
