“We all knew we lived on a globe” until we tried to prove it. The leading questions are, “How do you know, in the depths of your being, earth is a globe?” – “Who told you earth was a globe?” – “How old were you?”
I was 4 years old when I was ‘digging to China’ in my sandbox, expecting to see China-kids standing upside-down that I could then play with. Somehow, by that early age, I already ‘knew’ earth was a ball spinning around the sun. Everything told me ‘globe’ – the images from Hollywood, globes in movies and classrooms, Star Trek and sci-fi stories, even in cartoons ‘to the moon’ and ‘The Jetsons‘. By 1969, the moon landing was televised…
I didn’t pay much attention to the moon landing at the time; it wasn’t a big deal to me that summer. My mom was bedridden with bone cancer and died about six weeks later. THAT was a big deal; my family splintered after her death in the following years. Mom ‘was the glue’ that held the family together, and with her passing, I started searching for answers on God, death, disease and medicine. I didn’t realize at the time how this singular event would lead me to research so many topics that culminated with investigating flat earth… which led me back to Genesis and Christian roots. (When I think about medical corruption and the sheer audacity of ‘profits before people’ in context of the pain my mom endured and the destruction of my family unit… my blood has been on slow-boil for decades. PLEASE NOTE: These are ‘the same people’ that control the globe narrative via public education, government agencies, and entertainment.)
To hammer this point home, the definition of indoctrination is: The process of teaching a person or group to accept a set of beliefs uncritically: “I would never subject children to religious indoctrination.”… (Oxford Dictionaries) Yet we accept “science said globe” as a proven fact without questioning it and teach it to our children. If they question it, they are ridiculed or scoffed at, because… “Science!” It’s not intentional, simply repeated by those who accepted it without question and perpetuate it. “Ships sail over the horizon,” end of discussion.
The concept of ‘flat earth’ rattles us to our very core; have you ever wondered why? Here is a recent text-conversation I had with an old friend when our acquaintance was renewed:
R: I have been avoiding the Flat Earth for quite awhile now. That subject distresses me much more than other topics, I’m not sure why. I will start researching it. It’s like I can’t not look into it, sooner or later. I will, most likely real soon. It’s starting to hit critical mass in my brain. It’s weird, I research so many other subjects that are hard to reconcile and I get wigged out about but I dive in anyway and work through the emotional damage down the road. On some level it feels like not knowing causes more damage to the mind, body and spirit than knowing.
Me: EXACTLY. Flat earth contradicts the foundation of everything you were taught, trained to scoff at, and wipes out “space as we accepted” – media, movies, science!
R: Well said and thoughtful response to my fragmented mental walkabout. I spent most of the day looking at why this particular subject sets off so many emotional triggers. It sends the mind all over the place. I did notice that after some inspection that a large part of it has to do with reacting to this issue with self-imposed isolation and dreading the loneliness that response creates. You’re right, “Who you gonna call?”
(2 days later) R: I have found compelling evidence for two manned moon landings. One in northern Arizona and one in New Mexico.
‘R’ is a highly intelligent man who has dived into research on many topics to satisfy his own desire to know the truth. He doesn’t jump on the bandwagon of popular opinion or mindlessly follow anyone; in some aspects, ‘he’s a loner living in society’. This, I suspect, defines many who were called to research flat earth; the desire to simply know – KNOW – the truth. Friends, family, co-workers and strangers tend to belittle and joke at flat earth gullibility, call them idiots – the usual response from those who have no idea what they’re talking about.
Why should we care? What impact does Flat Earth have, anyway?
I leave it to the reader to consider the wide-ranging consequences ‘flat earth’ indoctrination has had on 1) our society 2) primitive cultures* and 3) dividing generations. In our own society, the flat earth biblical model was being taught in public schools well into the 1900’s. My aunts never ’embraced the globe’ and fossils claimed millions of years old – “God made them for fools like you to find.” The globe / solar system and evolution worked their way into classrooms and forced God out as ‘a nice fiction on Sunday’. The young’uns thought the old ones foolishly outdated; lovable, but doddering old fools. Who then teaches the youth? – Quiet mention, in a recent conversation there was discussion about “if you got to the youth before age 7 you could mold them for your purposes”.
Primitive cultures, as in communities that were not easily reached and assimilated to western education until later in the century, ‘were smacked up alongside the head’ by globes and exposure to ‘advanced’ cultures. The old traditions and folklore are almost embarrassing to ‘the educated kids’, relegated to entertainment and story-telling. Dividing generations? I suspect ‘the globe model’ and sister teachings of evolution, Big Bang, millions of miles and light-years, ‘billions of years’ and pond scum nearly split humanity in half. Yet I believe we’re on the verge of God re-emerging and healing the gulf that has divided. Ironically, researching ‘flat earth’ … ‘has God’s hand all over it’.
*Primitive cultures is not my view, it’s the common view of communities living in ‘undeveloped’ or ‘under-developed’ or ‘less industrialized’ societies. As an observer, I can’t help but notice many people in highly industrialized societies ‘are broken’ – isolated, lonely, abusing drugs or alcohol, workaholics, or chasing the Almighty Dollar if they’re not grinding themselves to death in low-wage jobs – but we all have cell phones, fast food, and Hollywood glitter to comfort ourselves with.

(NASA image, 1972)
On this cartoon world, it is dark in Tokyo, Moscow, London, New York, Los Angeles, Honolulu, and Sydney simultaneously.
(Good luck with that.)
Both are NASA official images.
I don’t know where South America went in the 2012 image, but it came back for the 2013 photo.
“Don’t ask questions if you don’t want the answer.”
A short video with Michael Tellinger. He talked publicly about ‘flat earth’ and got so much animosity that he chose to ‘shut up about it’ in order to not distract from his other pursuits. What causes so much ridicule and viciousness whenever ‘flat earth’ is mentioned, why the censorship? – That is both baffling and a bit revealing, my opinion. Eric Dubay, quote, “Nobody wakes up and decides to start claiming the earth is flat and endures endless ridicule for the hell of it. It is rather an unavoidable conclusion after thoroughly examining the evidence.” Or to kick in a bit of scripture, “Prove all things; hold fast to that which is good.” 1Thessalonians 5:21 KJV
