Pakistani earthquake causes islands and fire to rise from the Sea! The origin of fire worshiping? Moses high on gas, not God?

25 September 2013 (14:43 UTC-07 Tango)/20 Dhu ‘l-Qa’da 1434/03 Mehr 1391/21 Xin-You (8th month) 4711

In Baluchistan Province, there juts out into the Arabian Sea a free trade port called Gwadar.  About 600 meters (1968 feet) away a new island emerged, within 30 minutes of yesterday’s 7.8 magnitude quake.

Along with the island fire is bursting forth, explorers found lots of dead fish.

The island is 60 meters (196.8 feet) long and 20 meters (65.6 feet) above water level at its highest point.  Explorers said there are lots of dead fish floating around the island, and they smelled methane bubbling up from the sea.  They set it on fire to be sure it was gas, and it was.

Locals say this has happened before, right after a big earthquake in 1960.  The island in that quake was further to the east.  Officials with Pakistan’s National Institute of Oceanography say yesterday’s island creation is the fourth since 1945.   However, these islands are temporary and end up eroding back into the sea, because they’re basically balls of mud.

Pakistan is part of the Indian subcontinent, which is smashing up against the Asian continent.  The ongoing slow impact of the continents create the Himalayas.

Pakistani scientists revealed that the impact of the two continents is also releasing untold amounts of natural gas, from massive deposits underground.

This could explain the origins of the fire worshiping religions, such as Zoroastrianism and some Hindi religions.  Still today, Hindus make a pilgrimage to a mud volcano called Chandragup.  It’s fueled by natural gas.  A nearby cave is also a holy site, where the immortal flame burns.

I recently saw a travel show, which revealed that the eternal flame at a Zoroastrian fire temple, in Pakistan, was built over a natural gas vent.

Archaeologists think the religion of fire worship, begun by Indo-Iranians several thousands of years ago, is also the source for the idea of cremating the dead.

Zoroastrians don’t actually worship fire as ‘god’, but see it as a symbol of god’s purity.  Hindi beliefs say fire is the mediator between people and gods.  Let’s not forget the Hebrews, who’s leader Moses conversed with god, but only through a burning bush.

This brings me to question Moses.  He was probably high on the natural gas escaping from a vent on the mountain, then something caused the gas to ignite (maybe Moses trying to start a camp fire?).

This brings me to the Oracles (fortune tellers) of ancient Greece.  The most accurate oracles lived in caves.  Researchers now believe these caves were natural gas vents, and that the women were high on gas (hence they were ‘full of hot air’).

The oracle at Delphi must’ve known something was going on in the cave, because she limited her fortune telling to once every seven days.  Was the vent gassing off only once per week?

Isn’t the origin of religion funny?  (like laughing gas, hippy-crack aka nitrous oxide)  Too bad those ancient people didn’t think of bottling up that natural gas and selling it for home and commercial use, instead of thinking it was god talking to them!  Still, it doesn’t ‘splain why some of those Greek Oracles were so accurate in their predictions, unless certain types of natural gas are the secret ingredient used to connect your mind to the space time continuum, thus  revealing the future?

Fukushima

Japan Modern Day Atlantis

12 March 2011

“A potentially catastrophic disaster,” said President Obama. Hello, can you say understatement?

Aside from the looming nuclear disaster, it is starting to look to me that there is a major catastrophic geological event taking place under Japan. There are now reports that suggest that the big 8.9 quake set off chain reaction quakes all over Japan’s main state of Honshu. It would explain why some areas experienced shaking for up to 5 minutes. Other reports are adding that there was more than one major tsunami, which would have been caused by multi-quakes around Honshu. Early morning, March 12, NHK reported that some parts of northern Honshu were still being hit by small tsunami every 30 minutes. This means the “event” is continuing. The east coast of Honshu moved at least 8 feet eastward. Also, there was the 6+ quake on the north west coast of Honshu on Friday, and there was a 7.3 quake the day before the bigger 8.9. A Japanese committee said GPS data indicates that the quakes were “synchronized”.

Honshu sits where three major tectonic plates converge: Pacific Plate, Eurasian Plate and Philippine Plate. A major quake with chain reaction quakes on the Pacific side, with a major quake following on the Eurasian side, signifies a major tectonic event. (There are more detailed smaller plate and trench structures that run through Honshu).

Also, in some areas of northern Honshu the flood water has not receded. An “expert” interviewed on NHK stated that it could be because the ground was saturated (don’t quote me, this was through hasty translation). I find it interesting that the ground was saturated that fast from flooding, I’m thinking liquefaction. So water is not only being pushed on land, but it is being pushed up through the land. Another possibility is that the land has actually dropped.

Liquefaction was a factor in the large earthquakes along the New Madrid fault line during the 1800s in the United States.

The Pacific Plate is making a major push eastward. The norther end of Honshu might go the way of Atlantis, being submerged under the ocean. But this brings up the question of what is happening on the eastern side of the Pacific Plate, North America.

The Pacific Plate is being pushed by the North American Plate (I assume that because the North American Plate is moving southwesterly, and is not being subducted, except along the Puerto Rico Trench). Big events should be expected in North America. It is known, by geological evidence, that a major quake/tsunami event is expected anytime for the Pacific Northwest. What is happening to Japan could be a precursor for a major event for North America, just as what happened in New Zealand could be considered a precursor to the Japan event (New Zealand sits on top of the converging Pacific and Australian plates). Don’t forget the super volcano known as Yellowstone, in the Pacific Northwest, is overdue for major eruption.

Be prepared.

Japan Quake = No Economic Recovery

11 March 2011.

Japan’s huge earthquake, Tsunami and huge aftershocks, are not only devastating for the people of Japan, but are devastating to Japan’s economic recovery, as well as the world’s economic recovery.

Infrastructure for densely populated areas of Japan, hit by the flooding, are destroyed. Nuclear power plants are shut down. One nuclear power plant is in emergency mode because its cooling system, and back up systems, have failed. Auto manufacturing plants have been shut down. A major oil refinery is on fire. A lot of the land flooded by the Tsunami is farm land, which means no crops this year, adding to the what the UN is calling a World Food Supply Crisis for 2011.

This on going event of Mother Earth is adding insult to injury for Japan’s struggle for economic recovery. Before the quake hit, Japan’s so called recovery stalled, with its credit rating downgraded because the country is deep in debt. Recently there was hope that investors would start buying up stocks in Japanese companies, because they were considered a bargain, and, it was thought they would pick up in value as the Japanese recovery picked up steam. Now all that is in doubt.

It looks like Japan, helped by Mother Earth, might become the next domino to fall in the world economic crisis.
