Theos-Talk Archives (December 2003 Message tt00320)

Interesting article. 

I've heard some scientific evidence that 9 billion is the cutoff point for 
human population on Earth, since above that figure the weight of this amount of 
people and their concentrated constructions, plus their personal and 
industrial waste products, energy leakage's (including radioactive weaponry) along with 
accumulated atmospheric and aquatic poisoning -- may begin to effect massive 
changes in the worlds weather systems, leading to destructive tidal waves and 
earthquakes, and may even effect the changes in the Earths rolling orbiting 
spiral that will induce possible geophysical pole shifts (besides the magnetic 
one that is currently beginning to show evidence of occurring soon) along with 
massive readjustment of the Earths crustal plates... With disastrous results 
on a global scale... That could very well reduce the world's population to a 
figure well below a billion. 

Could the prophesies of the Mayans, and those of Theosophy, predicting the 
possibility of such a major catastrophe occurring in the near future, be correct 
-- give or take a few decades before or after the middle of this century? 
Does this coincide with the reason the Masters planned this to be the last cycle 
of the theosophical Movement -- with the hope that a full understanding of 
the truths of theosophy by most of the people of this world might divert this 
evolutionary adjustment? ... Or, at least, give the survivors the proper basis 
of knowledge for a new start that wouldn't repeat the errors of the past? 

Does anyone see any hope for those of us, or our children who may still be 
alive at the middle of this century? If so, maybe we should begin thinking and 
talking about it, and possibly deciding what we can do about it -- if anything.

Best wishes,

LHM
