THE DEVASTATING POWER OF COMETS
Ema Kurent
“I came in with Halley’s Comet in 1835. It is coming again next year, and I expect to go out with it. It will be the greatest disappointment of my life if I don’t go out with Halley’s Comet. The Almighty has said, no doubt: Now here are these two unaccountable freaks; they came in together, they must go out together.” (Mark Twain)
A romantic view of life and death, or a spark of a genius mind? Incidentally, Mark Twain died on April 21, 1910, the day following the comet’s subsequent return. And as “freakish” as it may seem, my research suggests that his birth and death were indeed powerfully related to Halley’s Comet. Not because the years of both incidents coincided with the appearance of the comet, but because the places of his birth and death were aligned with some strong ACG lines at the crucial points in the comet’s orbit. But for the reader to understand the rest, I must first introduce my technique.
Before proceeding, let me say that I have always sensed that comets, like planets and fixed stars and asteroids and so on, surely must influence life on our planet. But how, when and where would those influences become apparent? Those questions remained unanswered, until I let my mind find the proper way of research, the right technique or “modus operandi”, so to speak.
Since then, I have spent hours and hours calculating the various comets’ positions at the crucial points in their orbit and relating them to events on our planet. My research on the comets’ influence upon Earth has been mind-boggling, to say the least. My findings suggest that comets “cause” (or are synchronized to) an incredible high number of natural disasters and man-caused accidents. They are probably related to happy events as well, but much more research need be done before any definitive conclusions are reached. At then present point of my “travel” on the comets’ highway, I only stare at the incredible possibilities of research and discovery that the study of the comets has to offer. This research is not of a philosophic nature, but is based on astronomical facts. These facts, combined with the astrological theory of how certain planets affect life on Earth, offer a meeting ground of both sciences for which the present age may be just ripe. Indeed, if the academic world would humbly take time and allow consideration for the planetary influences which have been so thoroughly researched by the astrological community, a huge leap in both sciences would immediately take place.
But for this to happen, the scientific community would first have to allow for the fact that if comets’ (as well as planetary) influence is to be researched and evaluated, they would have to stop observing the planets (and other bodies, including comets) just as some distant objects in the sky. They would have to acknowledge that the Earth can receive and respond to their passages through the sky only when the Earth-related celestial planes and planetary (comets’) orbits meet.
