The Earth is flat, then what?

Opinion Note.

I still remember when, several years ago, a great friend told me I had to watch a video—and that the Earth might be flat.

I remember how I stared at him in silence for a few seconds, thinking about the sheer nonsense I had just heard—but also about how much I respected him.

Curiosity won the battle, and I began a frenzy of research, devouring every video and piece of information I could get my hands on.

After countless sleepless nights, buying a P1000 camera with my dad, and doing various experiments, one of the biggest mental short circuits was: If the Earth is flat, geopolitics is an absolute theater.

At the time, I had even joined a political party, but realizing that—allegedly—in space all countries were aligned and dancing to the same tune, filled me with contradictions.

Since then, I decided to stop voting, but I was left stunned… if they’re lying to us about the shape of the Earth, what else should I begin question?

Years passed, but remembering that helps me interact with people who react very strongly when they hear this for the first time—same as with German New Medicine (GNM).

Goodbye to private healthcare?

In the midst of that frenzy, I discovered Dr. Hamer’s New Medicine, and I think the mania hit its peak. Thinking I could have helped very dear people if I’d known this earlier—and being aware of the immense amount of avoidable suffering—seemed deeply unjust.

But I was determined to do something, and it also made me ambitious in my search for truth: If I had found the true cause of cancer, why not investigate the origin of life, where we come from, and what happens after death?

Curiosity and free time to investigate and search for truth have their upside—but also a downside: I was downing every single lies mixed with truths.

In the flat-earth and GNM groups I knew back then, there wasn’t much deep discussion—just vague New Age pantheist theories (the creative universe, Mother Nature, Pachamama, karma/dharma, Buddhist samsara, etc.), but there was a gnostic trend: through knowledge, I believed I could reach the truth.

I love the term for this state: itchy ears. The anxiety to hear all kinds of theories.

Playing god

During that search, I found three authors who caught my attention and led me to read everything: Hermes Trismegistus, Nimrod de Rosario, and Alexandre Eleazar.

The first, with his Kybalion, invited me to explore Greek gods, Hermeticism, and its principles—where wisdom was revealed through figures like Zoroaster, Pythagoras, Plato, and even the Kabbalah 🤦. The other two were more concrete and aligned with my then-biased, angry, maniac, and constellated mindset: the world seemed like a prison full of deceptions, and I believed I had the truth.

Of course, the fraudulent pandemic didn’t help; the pride I felt seeing everyone wear face diapers—except me and a few others—went through the roof. So these “selective enlightenment” theories, secret and known by few, were very tempting.

But as I verified more and more of GNM, I began using it as a basis to test these theories and realized I was surrounded by thought leaders talking about all these topics—while recommending completely contradictory things or not sharing my values at all.

And many followers were being driven by a need to belong to a group, a tribe—since things like family now supposedly had another meaning:

“Family is a word derived from famulus, meaning slave or servant—we need to break with that sociocultural archetype.”
Excuse me, what? 🤢

“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
It’s better to be humble with the lowly than to divide spoils with the proud.”

It was time to man up and put to the test everything I thought I knew.

Through philology, I was able to verify that Eleazar’s supposed cuneiform translations were total nonsense. I dug into history enough to understand that the most common unofficial interpretations today—even some things Hamer hinted at toward the end of his incredibly difficult journey—were just another layer of the onion.

Seeking answers

If we doubt the mainstream consensus on core topics—like floating balls in infinite space, the theory of evolution, the Big Bang, or Columbus “discovering” America—we’re left feeling pretty exposed. But we’re offered some trendy paths:

• Choose to stop asking where we come from or who created us—and just live life with some moral compass (hopefully).
• Answer with vague terms like “The Quantum Co-Creator Universe of Biri Biri.”
• Believe there is something beyond, and a Creator God—but that humans were able to censor and hide His truth behind secrets and secret societies you must join to find it.

But for those of us who at least understood the first four biological laws, the fifth invites us to go deeper and ask:
What is the quintessence?
How are synchronicities—even tremendous and seemingly random ones—possible?

Who hasn’t noticed that people in a manic state attract situations that match that state? Like someone who’s completely deranged running into even bigger idiots—or more deranged drivers—on the road?

Or who hasn’t experienced a healing crisis (epicrisis) and, simultaneously, their house floods? Or we resolve a situation and suddenly opportunities start showing up out of nowhere? Or we relapse—and the power goes out?

How is it possible for the universe to be magically ordered, when science shows us things like this?

The law of entropy, also known as the second law of thermodynamics, states that the amount of entropy in the universe tends to increase over time. This means systems tend toward greater disorder or randomness as time passes.

Back to roots

So what aligns more with the idea of an ordering God?

On my journey, the most obvious and accessible path—which I clearly needed to revisit—was The Bible.

But I had to read it with new eyes, since all the religions and their various institutions that claim to represent it had shown their incoherence during 2020.

And if the Bible contained the truth, I had to be able to distinguish it—for example—from my catholic upbringing.

But what if everything is just as written, and we’re simply in another verse of the last book, the one institutions avoid and conspiracy theories like Tartaria are mere remnants of something else?

Of course, from this space, we’re not here to tell anyone what the truth is, but rather to encourage interested people to investigate it for themselves. We all know we each have our own path to walk, and no one can guarantee they possess the absolute truth.

As for me, this doubt gave me the will to begin reading it from the beginning—and to find in it a coherence and a path that make more and more sense.

A wise son heareth his father’s instruction:
But a scorner heareth not rebuke.

But a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

But the poor heareth not rebuke.
The light of the righteous rejoiceth:
But the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
Only by pride cometh contention:

Every prudent man dealeth with knowledge:

A wicked messenger falleth into mischief:

Evil pursueth sinners:
But to the righteous good shall be repaid.
A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children:

Much food is in the tillage of the poor:

He that spareth his rod hateth his son:
But he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.
The righteous eateth to the satisfying of his soul:
But the belly of the wicked shall want.
