every description of flat earth i have read serves as a perfect metaphor for kabbalistic teaching. they are not useful as geographical maps, but they are very useful as conceptual maps.

if they describe a place, that place is in a higher plane of existence.

such is the case for descriptions of hollow earth. the people who have visited the "inside" of the earth were not lying. from their perspective, they appeared to travel into the earth and appear someplace spacious.

you may note that many of these stories originate from the polar regions. there are uniquely powerful energy patterns at both poles. under the right circumstances, these energy patterns can be navigated to access other realities. that is what has happened to those inner earth explorers. while our planet earth is not hollow (aside from extensive cave systems and d.u.m.b.s), there are realities in which that space is hollow, and they can be experienced.
