Comet Kondoor

Introduction

G.I Gurdjief’s Book: “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson: All and Everything”

What the author G.I Gurdjief expressed in his quite frankly remarkable book “Beelzebub’s Tales to his Grandson: All and Everything” was that a very large comet, whom he called the comet Kondoor, collided with the Earth.

Such a collision Gurdjieff explains eventually gave rise to the Moon. Gurdjief explains that from this collision actually two large fragements of the Earth were thrown into space. One of these fragments, the larger one formed what we know today as the Moon and the other, smaller one formed the second Moon that the Earth has, but not much is generally known about it. There are reports though that science has officially recognised it.

Gurdjieff called the larger fragment which formed our Moon: Loonderperzo and the smaller one: Anulios.

Age of the Moon & the Comet Kondoor

If the impact theory for the Moon’s creation is true then the age of the Moon must be younger than the age of the Earth. This would conclusively prove that the impact theory is the more correct theory to use to explain the creation of the Moon. However, accepting that it is true that a certain comet called Kondoor did collide with the Earth, this very event or actually the consequences of this event could still give validation to the theory that the Moon predates the Earth as it is expressed by certain esoteric sources. I will explain why.

Theory

Say if the Collision did Happen

Certainly a large comet impacting with the Earth would throw a lot particles into space, which science says formed the Moon by a process called accretion. However, if the Moon was already there those particles could be quite easily captured by the already existing Moon. These captured particles could easily coat the surface of the Moon with Earthly material.

So then it all depends on what depth the lunar rock samples were taken at. If the rock samples were taken from the surface then the samples should be of a similar age to that of Earth, actually the rock samples should return a similar but younger age to the age of the rocks on the Earth. In some cases this seems to be true.

Dark, Far Side of the Moon May not be the Key

The far side of the Moon may not necessarily hold the key. One may think that because only one side of the Moon faces the Earth all the particles thrown into space from the Earth should have landed on this visible side of the Moon, and nothing should have landed on the far or dark side. This is very logical if that were true, that is if it were true that the Moon did in fact at the time rotate on its axis in such a way that only one side was visible. But this may not have been true before the collision, but only after the collision once all the collected Earth particles had attached themselves to the Moon’s surface.

This could mean that the Moon was rotating on its axis at a rate showing all its sides while collecting all these particles from the Earth, allowing the whole surface of the Moon to be thickly covered with particles from the Earth.

Still though it makes sense that the best bet to obtain a conclusive finding would be for samples to be taken at a greater depth below the Moon’s surface.

Conclusion

The event of the collision of the comet Kondoor with the Earth gives some validation to the modern scientific Impact theory as to the origin of the Moon. This post also puts forward a theory that gives some support to the modern Capture theory, saying that particles from the collision of the comet Kondoor with the Earth landed on a pre-existing Moon. This accounts for the fact that so many of the lunar rock samples returned a very similar composition and age as the rocks on the earth.

What would clear all this up, is if rock samples were taken from depths greater than the surface of the Moon. The result would tell us something very conclusive about the origin of the Moon, i.e. whether it is older or younger than the Earth. Because supposedly sampling some depth below the surface would tap into the original lunar rock and not the rock collected from the result of eh impact of the comet Kondoor with the Earth.

In conclusion, this post is saying that the theory of the Moon pre-existing the Earth can not be ruled out, even if a majority of the samples indicate that the Earth is older than the Moon. This post has given a plausible explanation as to why this is so and still the Moon could be at the same older than the Earth.
