Who are we? Part 14
By: Seeker
How likely is it that we are living in a system which is travelling through space towards and away from a companion to the Sun? A few years back the concept would have been a bit ‘out there’ as it was thought that the Sun wasn’t special, that most stars would be singular. More recently, with better instruments, we are finding that the Sun is highly unusual if it is truly a single star – most of what we see out there are multiple star systems and some of the companions are very strange indeed.
Walter Cruttenden speculates in his book ‘Lost Star of Myth and Time’ that maybe the importance of Sirius to our ancestors is indicative of a possible companion. He has more than myth to go on. The book is definitely worth a read.
Taking his cue from the past, Cruttenden speculates that there is more truth than we give credence to in the old stories. Is it possible that once we had a far more spiritual life, that in the past we lived differently, with less reliance on the physical and more understanding of our place in the cosmos?
It would explain many puzzles about our existence if, at some past time, we had abilities that no longer are under our control. It could give answers to how supposed primitives were able to build as they did, and maybe explain why all our early known civilizations seem to begin full-fledged’ rather than spending long periods developing the sophistication we see in the earliest cities.
Add in the possibility of a series of major disasters at the close of the last Ice Age and we are looking at possible answers to the questions asked earlier.
