"I feel the earth - move - under my feet I feel the sky tum-b-ling down - tum-b-ling down I feel my heart start to trem-b-ling - Whenever you're around "
Here is the original in Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls"
'Then there was the smell of heather crushed and the roughness of the bent stalks under her head and the sun bright on her closed eyes . . . and for her everything was red, orange, gold-red from the sun on the closed eyes. . . . For him it was a dark passage which led to nowhere, then to nowhere, then again to nowhere, once again to nowhere, always and forever to nowhere, heavy on the elbows in the earth to nowhere . . . now beyond all bearing up, up, up and into nowhere, suddenly, scaldingly, holdingly all nowhere gone and time absolutely still and they were both there, time having stopped and he felt the earth move out and away from under them.'
And that expression has since become embedded in our culture - indicating that there is some reality to it.
I believe he's quite an interesting writer. I've read a shortened version of one of his books.
It sounds, in the passage above, as though the phenomenon is connected with states of consciousness. If the earth moved out and away then he went onto another plane.

There is a qabalistic proposition that humans have an Adam Kadmon light body. Adam Kadmon (original man) may well be a reference to the Heavenly Man that uses the solar system as a body.
If both propositions are correct then each standard human, in principle is able to access a full range of energies manifested in the solar system. www.sophian.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3557
This is quite different from the proposition that the humanoid god ruling the Earth (the Heavenly Sovereign) had 36 favorites in the human race.
