Hello Melody,
I believe Adrian is talking about is primordial water that appeared some time after the beginning, well, maybe a longer time after the beginning of this planet. What the two theories that I mentioned before referred to was the water that appeared at the Great Flood that came later on. Though that water had subsequently subsided, some believe there is much more of it now than there was before.
A good question would be where did all that water from the Great Flood had gone? Get absorbed under the Earth's crust? Evaporated? I don't think it evaporated since the rate of evaporation is stable and were it to increase it would have by now caused to evaporated all our oceans.
This is indeed am enigma.
I would have thought that the Great Flood was a metaphor except for the fact I know it was not.
The entire book of Genesis chronicles the last evolutionary step of humanity - Adam and Eve never existed as people, they were a metaphor for the next evolution of human being that became who we are today.
There have been 5 great evolutionary "cleansings" of humanity leading to the next evolution. Previous cleansings have corresponded to the 5 Universal Elements of Fire, Air, Earth and Water - the last chrnicles by Genesis being water. The previous three took place before recorded history.
The current evolution is Ether - the quintessence of the previous 4 taking place at the end of the great 25,800 cycle. Ether represents Spirit representing the next evolution of humanity that I call Homo Spiritus, the Hopi call Homo Luminous etc.
The outcome, the mode of evolution has yet to be determined and will be according to the consciousness of humanity over the next few years.
Going back to the Great Flood - I have 27 different references from diverse and unconnected cultures from all around the world documenting a "great flood" and describing how they survived. In addition to Genesis, The Epic of Gilgamesh, the great Babylonian work from Ancient Sumeria also documents it.
I am firmly of the view therefore that the Great Flood happened, and probably wiped out around 90% - 95% of all humans at the time, the survivors becoming what humanity is today.
This time around mankind has the choice of whether to evolve through Enlightenment, or through another purgative event where the Universe effectively pushes the reset button as in previous events after humanity failed to take the right course.
As to the question of where the water came from and where it eventually went remains an enigma.
The Sumerians talk of a "terrible water spout that rose to the sky". The Assyrians talk of "tidal seas and water spouts....the corpses of the drowned floated like seaweed". The duration of deluge according to the survivors lasted anything from a few hours to several days, and the duration of the flood anything up to 52 years in the case of the ancien Aztec and Toltec records.
The Hopi records state - "The waters were loosened upon the Earth, waves higher than mountains rolled in on the land. The continents broke asunder and sank beneath the waves".
Inca - "A Llama staring sadly at the sky told his owner that the sea would cover the Earth. The Llama led his owner to the top of Mount Villcatato where people, birds and animals had congregated".
In the Greek records - "Deluge lasted for 9 days and nights with water issuing from the earth and the sea overflowing".
And so it goes on.
The origin of the water tends to be recorded as great water spouts from the Earth as well as rain.
I don't think we should dwell too much on this. Universal cycles enacted the last evolution of humanity, by Water, the mechnics of which we may never understand and in any case are moot.
We should be focusing on Enlightenment in readiness for this next great evolution, and the completion of a great Cycle.
Kind regards,
Adrian.
