Sungenis is a geocentrist. In a certain sense, I have to admire a guy just because he’s willing to be that far out there.

Huh? A geocentrist isn’t “out there” at all, is he? He thinks it’s all about “in here”. LOL. Joshing. I get what you mean.

I never heard of Sungenis before this article. But is that what he means by geocentrist, it's all "in here"? The cosmology of western Europe was geocentrist for 2000 years going back to Aristotle. The earth was at the center of the universe, but everyting below the orbit of the moon was subject to decay and death. Thefore, the earth is the least important part of the universe.

The earth was surrouned by a series of conecntric transparent, crystalline spheres. The most important part of the universe was beyond the last sphere, the Primum Mobile, the prime mover. There lay the Empyrean, the true Heaven with God and the highest angels. "In here" was the least important because it was mutable. The most important was "out there", millions of miles way, the realm of the immutable and the eternal.

Is this what Sungenis is talking about? Or is he simply a modern evolutionist, putting man at the top of evolutionary progress, and therefor at the "center".
