Hi, I was previously a reader of the old forum, but I don't really recall how I found it, though most likely via an internet search on a specific geological anachronism. I've studied geology from the age 13 to the present, (some 60 years) submajoring in both soft-rock and hard-rock areas of geology. During 1987 I commissioned an aboriginal heritage survey for a mining project in the NE Kimberley region of Western Australia which led to the discovery of highly anachronistic aboriginal narratives describing geological events that, in terms of the standard model, were impossible. Events such as a diamond pipe eruption 1,200 million years ago that the tribal people described as a Nile River perch (or barramundi in Australia) jumping into the ground at a location that was interpreted geophysically as a buried diamond pipe, and which seemed to be the source of diamonds downsteam in the Ord River at the town of Kununnurra. Most mysterious. Was it oral history and hence of limited chronological provenance, or were the tribal people tapping into some Jungian collective memory? This led to the recollection of a well read, falling apart Penguin paperback titled Earth in Upheaval by Immanual Velikovsky I had in my library, but which I occasionally read once a year, with some bemusement. I did not know, at the time, who Velikovsky was, apart from being the author of an "interesting" book. I ended up acquiring most of his books, and became interested in historical revision and related topics.
It wasn't until 10 years later that I discovered that diamond pipes are formed initially at the Earth's surface to then drill into the Earth's crust via a vortex mechanism, tapping into diamonds at depth. The Velikovsky connection then led to plasma physics theory and and the rejection of the uniformist standard geological model or world view. The final break from dogma occurred with the discovery of the various mud-flood data described in this forum. Australian aboriginals collectively recall a recent time in which the Rainbow serpents sculptured the Australian land surface or topography, which I tentatively date to the Little Ice Age or the Maunder Minimum. This seems to fit the mud-flood phenomena, and the large number of worm infested cans of recent history.
I am also chief editor of the New Concepts in Global Tectonics Journal. I have an interest in psi phenomena as a potential source of collective memory that seems to occasionally pop into our world view or culture. I am in the same intellectual space as Russel Targ, Hal Puthof with the remote viewing aspect of psi phenomena. My experiences as a field geologist resulted in the observation of many anachronistic geological facts that my peers are simply unable to explain using the standard dogma.
