There are many indigenous cultures from the Americas, Continental Africa, Australia and New Zealand whose ancestors passed this knowledge through song, story, dance, etc. The Dogon of West Africa have known for centuries that our solar system is a binary one.
The current approach of our sister star and her planets is not the first round; nor will it be the last. Therefore, since human beings, animals and plan Life is still thriving here, it should be obvious that this event is NOT APOCALYPTIC. However, ratcheting up Fear benefits those people, organizations and institutions that do not want to lose control over our society and cultural mores.
A society paralyzed by Fear is like putty in the hands of religious fundamentalism, megalomaniacal politicians and greedy corporate industrialists. I always suggest staying focused on Love, Compassion and Kindness; then the rest will fall naturally into place.
