We are brothers and sisters in the seeking of truth, seek truth always. Ofcourse it is easy for me to say this after the fact, but I went through this, it was both exiting and confusing.
And I don´t have all the answers, but I know what is true in this matter, because I dared look and listen. Truth matters, we don't have the leasure to ignore it, you'll find out why.
Lycen, my apologies for letting this response go unanswered for so long.
I'm glad that you are interested in truth, my brother. I'm a lover of truth, also, and I revel each time I am forced, by the power of spiritual discernment, to sacrifice a distorted belief upon the alter of the Real. At each transformation, I praise the one infinite creator, for with it, I know I am one step closer to conscious union with the One.
In that spirit, I share the following information:
I also want you to know, even prior to this thread, I had watched a *LOT* of flat earth videos. I'm the type of person who is willing to question everything I know. I watched a bunch more to refresh my memory.
But here's the thing, mostly what I see is people applying logic incorrectly. And applying science incorrectly. Science is remarkable and exacting work. And sometimes the correct conclusions are not always immediately obvious. By the way, I think it would be really cool if the earth was flat. It would be incredible to learn such an incredible secret. But my brother, I'm telling you, this is not based in reality. Please be open to examining this further. I know all too well the seduction of having secret knowledge. But be careful, my brother, because the 'missteps in the night are oh so easy'. As you say: "Truth is truth even if it turns our worldly views upside town, or breaks our religion."
I could not agree more.
I would gladly address any particular evidence you think proves beyond a shadow of doubt the earth is flat, in a completely nonjudgmental way, but there are a lot of phenomena the flat earth model simply does NOT explain. The heliocentric model of the universe, on the other hand, explains all of it, despite certain personalities confidently asserting that it does not. I was going to make a list of the alleged evidence of zero curvature and go over it one by one in exacting fashion, but there are people who have already done an outstanding job of it. It is easy to be taken in by a group of people who say things with confidence and assuredness that they are right (it happens in cults and religions all the time and people like Eric Dubay, just as an example, sound very sure of themselves) but I'm telling you, if you are indeed sincerely interested in truth, then consider the following information:
Some Common Flat-Earth Theory Fallacies
I don't blame anyone for their mistrust of the government.
People sense they are being lied to by the authority. I get that. Believe me, I do. But, please hear me when I say: this is not what they are lying to you about. It is a covert psyop designed to divide us from one another.
