Immanuel Velikovsky was a genius on par with Einstein, which is a fact seldom mentioned by his detractors. Both he and Einstein were Star Children, and indeed were friends who engaged in the type of friendly argument only two geniuses could engage in. Velikovsky's Mission was to set mankind to thinking about the periodic cataclysms that have so dramatically left their Mark on the Earth and human history. Like Einstein, he was berated for presenting what most of mankind does not want to think about - bad news.
Mountains obviously thrown skyward under extreme pressure, the Ruins of great civilizations with no reason for demise, flash frozen carcasses of healthy Mastodons with no evident cause of death - all this is put over the wall and not dealt with. Research into uncharted territory seldom results in solid conclusions all around. Theories based on theories don't have a solid base. That any of the theories prove out, under these circumstances, is a wonder. Thus, some of Velikovsky's theories as to the cause of the Earth's cosmic near-collisions are unfounded. Where the planet Venus was sent into an irregular orbit after one recent pole shift, the upheavals on Earth were caused only by the passage of the 12th Planet - the major ingredient in the brew. Unlike Einstein's theories of relativity, Velikovsky's theories cannot be effectively proved until the Red Star, the 12th Planet, returns to savage this Solar System again. Unfortunately for those unwilling to listen to Velikovsky or contemplate the evidence he so poetically presents, they will be learning the truth of his theories - too late!
ZetaTalk: Pole Shift Timeline
written September 12, 2009
Where descriptions of the geological changes that accompany a pole shift are often used as proof that prior pole shifts have occurred, other than the time line of occurring approximately every 3,600 years there is no inherent timeline record for the last weeks in such geological record. The pole shift rents rock and rearranges the landscape and is accompanied by huge tidal waves and exploding volcanoes. This is clear. Just how large or frequent the earthquakes were, weeks ahead of time, is not of record. Then there is the issue of folklore, as almost every culture has a story stemming from a prior pole shift. Where there is a written record, such as the Egyptian record in the Kolbrin, many details are carried in the report, but most cultures simply have a few statements indicating the horror of the hour of the pole shift or the days of rotation stoppage or perhaps a severe wobble leading into the horror. As this is clearly a description of the last weeks, no larger timeline is inherent. Where other phenomena are included, such as snow in summer or women so tense that they abort or do not conceive or intractable droughts, there is no sense of how many years such a phenomena was present prior to the pole shift itself.
Even where the Bible implies a seven year period of plagues, the magnitude of droughts and crop failure or disease from depressed immune systems confuses the issue. The Kolbrin mentions that Noah began building his arc when the Moon turned copper and the moon moved swifly across the sky, implying a definitive wobble. Certainly there are reports of a copper moon today, and rapid movement of the Moon has been noted by some, but most of the populace seem oblivious. But can such correlation be used to extrapolate a pole shift date today? How long does it take to build an arc, and how swiftly did the Moon cross the sky to clue Noah that the time had arrived? The Kolbrin reports that during the Exodus that signs in the sky clued the populace that another pole shift was pending. Then there was a period of stillness, relative calm, when the populace was tense as they knew the prophecies and knew what was pending. Then the tail of Planet X, bringing red dust and hail, was upon them and social disruption and plague affected the populace. But the Kolbrin does not state how long a period passed between the signs in the sky and the horror of the last weeks.
Many following ZetaTalk have tried to correlate our descriptions of pending Earth changes with past history and other prophecy, with poor results. This is intentional. We are not allowed to give a date, nor any clue as to the timeline. Our descriptions of the last weeks are exempt as by then it will be obvious. Our statement that the pole shift will coincide with the end of a magnetic trimester - the end of April, August, or December - is allowed because this likewise will only be clear when the last weeks have arrived, and no year is mentioned. We are pressed endlessly by those wanting more specificity, those wanting to plan, or those longing for more definite signs by which to argue their case with family or friends, but we cannot give more than we already have.
Kolbrin on Noah: They had knowledge of … signs and omens, the secrets of the seasons, of the moon and the coming of the waters. ... there were wise men filled with the inner wisdom, who read The Book of Heaven with understanding and knew the signs. … Then the day came when The Lady of the Night changed her garment for one of a different hue, and her form swept more swiftly across the skies. Her tresses streamed out behind in gold and copper, and she rode in a chariot of fire. … the hour of trial draws nigh. The shadow of doom approaches this land …
