A Hollow Earth

There is a large serious world of Theosophy, Philosophy, and Esoteric knowledge for those who have studied it, taught by some of the most brilliant minds.

This is unrelated to the other thread - although that is one resource for it.

I was just wondering how many actually believe in a hollow earth? Because there is tons of both serious and fictious material about it if you look. There must have been written hundreds of books and articles about it by now.

It's supposed to be an utopian civilisation with technology eons advanced ahead of our own. Where people grow twice as tall due to less gravity. And lit by an inner sun which keeps the temperature even all year long.

The thing is, as many credible resources and intelligent people I've seen speak of this, I find it hard to really believe before I see it for myself. It just sounds so fairy-tale like, and even if it exists, I find it hard to imagine it's something I'll ever get to see.

Anyone?

I love the way you use the term "tons" as if there isn't just a fraction of the amount of literature you're talking about compared with the sheer volumes of data against the idea. You seem psychologically attracted to dubious ideas. I like the fact that you admit the idea is "hard to really believe," that shows promise.

Right, but they must have come up with some sort of geological evidence in their years of research. Thats what's going to change minds. Tangible, observable evidence.

Not really as such. "Geological evidence" being something physical, and the inside of the Earh is huge, and haven't exactly been mapped out. While their world is also in the non-physical, whatever that would mean.

I'm just overwhelmed by the sheer volume of material about it. By intelligent minds. As I respect intelligenge.

I've read so much about it over the years. Like that is where the lost tribes of Israel went, in their search of an ideal world. That is where the Lock Ness Monster is from, there being tunnels to the inner Earth at the bottom of the lake, and there's a whole family of these creatures living there who occasionaly come up to the surface. And in my country there's a whole book series writtern about life in the Inner Earth. Seems like a lot for nothing.
 
Well, the two most original sources is the experience of Admiral Byrd in Antartica, being welcomed into the Inner Eearth (subsequently he was locked up when he tried to tell his message to the people), who you can read about http://http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/tierra_hueca/tierrahueca/Chapter1.htm.

And the Norwegian fisherman Olaf Jansen cast adrift around the North Pole http://http://www.ourhollowearth.com/PartTwo.htm.

Then there is the Jules Verne's novel "Journey to the Center of the Earth", which was very famous.

The Nazi-myth, and Hitler's Eagle's Nest, rumoured to have shafts going down to the Inner Earth.

Finally, there's the channeled recordings from the Hollow Earth, going on for 3 1/2 half years, describing it in every detail http://http://www.blogtalkradio.com/hollowearthnetwork, I suppose for no good reason.

But the mechanisms in which it works have been well established, providing geological evidence. All there seems to be to support the hollow Earth thing are fictitious writings by occultists and L. Ron Hubbard
 
I appreciate you attempting to provide sources, but its not quite what I'm after. Nazi myths, Verne novels and a fisherman navigating his way through the arctic aren't convincing. Actual studies, scientific analysis, even compelling evidence in the theoretical possibility of such a thing would go a long way.

I'm not a geologist, this isn't my forte. However this is how changes in the perception of the physical world are made, through empirical data and evidence. I'm not seeing any of this here.
 
but you are free to believe what you like.

If you stand in the middle of a busy road and believe you won't get hit by a car, does that make you safe then? You are certainly free to believe whatever you want - believe that gravity does not apply to you and you can fly, that angels live on your shoulder and talk to you daily, or believe your neighbors have an Air Loom that they use for "pneumatic mind control". If you can't provide any tangible evidence besides hearsay, then it's just fiction to most people.
 
In her OP, she seemed to be entertaining the idea. It may not be a stretch that she's playing for the underdog. In light of so many "science says's its this way so it is"'s, it may be easy to go to another pole (not necessarily saying a pole opposite science) since thoughts on the subject have been really polarized against what she brought up.

Sorry, Ninae, not intending to answer for you.

Nothing so precise.

Just that so many say "no way!"... with not much entertaining the middle, or the possibility.

So in that she might jump on "the other side".
 
Ninae, you seem susceptible to a peculiar shade of BS. The intelligence of a person only gives you one aspect of who they really are, and what they're putting forth. Basing your entire belief in a subject entirely on faith that a person, or occult account has "a ring of truth to it" is not philosophy at all. It's just deciding to pretend that the myth is real, and clinging to it beyond all reason. Some smart people use their brains for the betterment of the world. Most don't know how to use their brains, and just go crazy, which can take on many forms. Some use their brains just to make stuff up, and to see how much made-up thought they can be bought up the population (or at least a "special" population) for their own gain. Some just make stuff up to entertain themselves and others, and the same "special" population tends to take these people more seriously than initially intended.

If you find yourself having to trust a person on a topic, and not the foundations of the topic itself, then you don't have any support. You've displayed little support for the argument yourself. If you open your mind too much, and have no protection against any rogue concepts that come into it, then you are opening your mind up for a logical fallacy, philosophical disease. You need basic logic to measure the value of anything you consider believing in, otherwise it's all just window dressing in a cluttered mind.

Esoteric knowledge provides a great cultural wellspring to get inspiration from, but it's all just folk stuff that never needed proof when it was conceived, and doesn't have suitable proof in the world today. The different perspectives that you get from esoteric or occult topics is very valuable, but it's more valuable to consider the roots of why these people would create such myths in the first place. You'll find a far less hollow topic, imo.

The crust of the earth would've torn to shreds by sheer entropy, and time, by now, if the 7.6 miles thickness dug at the Kola Super Deep well was all that comprised our planets physical structure. It would've cracked like so many eggs eons ago.

The reason they can't get any deeper than this certainly isn't because there's nothing but air down there.
 
Actually, many have claimed all planets are made hollow. It makes for a more comfortable living-environment and protection for radiation or so. Just how it occurs I can't really say.

But building dwelling-places, not just bonkers, but big cities lit up with artificial light within the Earth's crust has always been well-known.

Where is Valhalla, or was, for instance, surely not on the normal surface at least, only being open to the gods. Probably either inside a mountain or underground.

The Grieg piece "Hall of the Mountain King" is quite interest in this context - being one of the greatest geniuses we've had and possessed of great insight.

I can understand the Hollow Earth hypothesis is a bit much for many, but building in the Earth's crusts is perfectly possible. Only in Scandinavia they have found sub-terranean tunnels tating back 200,000-300,000 years. Maybe another instance of our losing all our technology again.
