Rudy Otter’s curiosity whether earth would be destroyed by a comet, is good. But announcement was not absurd as it was based on religious scripture and numerology. The speculator used calculation that earth would end 33 days after solar eclipse. Jesus survived 33 days. Were record breaking, repeated hurricanes, earthquakes, land-slides, rainfall, after solar eclipse, samples of nature’s dance of death- Shiva’s “tandava”?
Hindu scriptures mention upheavals whereby, dry lands would be oceans and vice versa. Bible mentions deluge/ Noah and Hindu Pralaya/ Manu.
Hindus preach knowledge of yuga-(period) whereby after initial phase of virtue (Satyuga), life degenerates towards vice (kaliyuga). After four yugas denoting height of yuga of darkness, evolutionary cycle restarts from age of virtue.
Theosophical literature mentions extension of humans’ birth, death, and reincarnation cycle on astrological levels too. Thereby any planet may bear various levels of lives eg divine, spiritual, mental, astral, terrestrial, physical, and have reverse cycle. Life retreats back to causal root; to repeat birth-death-reincarnation cycle on other planet.
If humanity considers itself at the pinnacle of evolution /darkness, prepare for withdrawal from physical levels and other finer levels till all life merges with causal body. We won’t need a comet or natural disasters.
