The Hebrew Cosmogony

“Before the birth of our Earth, worlds were shaped and brought into existence, only to be destroyed in the course of time: ‘Nor is this world inhabited by man the first of things earthly created by God.  He made several worlds before ours, but he destroyed them all.’  The Earth underwent re-shaping: six consecutive remoldings.  Heaven and Earth were changed in every catastrophe.  Six times the Earth was rebuilt -- without entire extirpation of life on it, but with major catastrophes.  Six ages have passed into the great beyond; this is the seventh creation, the time in which we live.”  [the archives of Immanuel Velikovsky <http://www.varchive.org/itb/hebrew.htm>]  

“According to another tradition, several heavens were created, seven in fact.  Also seven earths were created: the most removed being the seventh Erez, followed by the sixth Adamah, the fifth Arka, the fourth Harabbah, the third Yabbashah, the second Tebel and our own land called Heled, and like the others, it is separated from the foregoing by abyss, chaos, and waters.”  

“The description permits an interpretation that all the seven earths exist simultaneously; but a deeper insight will allow us to recognize that the original idea did not admit seven concurrent but separate firmaments and worlds in space, but only consecutive in time, and built one out of another:  ‘The seven heavens form a unity, the seven kinds of earth form a unity, and the heavens and the earth together also form a unity.’ The Hebrew cosmogony in its true sense is a conception of worlds built and reshaped with the purpose of bringing creation closer to perfection.  The separation of one world from another by abyss and chaos evidently refers to the cataclysms that separated the ages.  [emphasis added]  

The simultaneity of seven earths suggests the same kind of simultaneity as in Multiple Timelines, while the unity of heavens and earth are fundamental to the Oneness of all that is -- a Oneness with all of its diversity connected and universally unlimited.  Specifically, we can speak of the ingredients mathematically proven to exists in The Fifth Element, Zero-Point Energy, and Connective Physics -- not to mention Sacred Mathematics.  

Even I am impressed as to how well all things come together and say essentially the same thing; a conclusion which future impresses one with the truth of Mark Twain’s statement:  

“The ancients have stolen all our really good, new ideas.”
