... ) Home | Issue Contents The Holy Grail: Source of the Ancient Science and Spirituality of the Circling Cosmos by Lee Perry 1993, $12.95 (contact Lee Perry, 3720 Henderson Drive, Cumming, Georgia 30131, USA) This small book is the printed form of a paper presented to the Calendar Conference sponsored by the Traditional Cosmology Society and the Northern Studies Centre at Stromness, Orkney Islands, Scotland in June, 1993. I confess I have never come across a style of writing quite like it and suspect that the average Briton, at least, could find it strangely abstruse in a chatty sort of way. Perhaps it would have helped to have read the ...
242. Society News [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ancients thought of as "morning star" or "evening star" could be very different to what we now know. The discussion took a full turn when Gunnar Heinsohn questioned the early dating of the Dynasties of Sumer and Akkad. This also generated lively discussion and it was agreed that the matter required further research. "Velikovsky's History and Cosmology" Meeting This Meeting was held in London on 26th June 1982 and members heard talks given by Victor Clube and by John Bimson. Important changes were made to the Constitution of the SIS during the Society Business section. A full report of this Meeting will appear in a forthcoming issue of SIS Review. "Review" and "Workshop ...
243. A Harbinger of the Exodus? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the conviction that Elihu in the Book of Job is Moses. This lends support to the presumption that the book is historical, and identifies Elihu/Moses as the book's likely author. In an early issue of SIS Review Martin Sieff argues [51] that because the name YHWH, first introduced by Moses, is not used in the cosmological sections' of the Book of Job (i .e . the poetic discourses),'... this strongly suggests that the material was first compiled before the time of Moses. ' He does not discuss the possibility that the book and the origination of the YHWH concept might be both contemporary and connected, nor mention the ...
244. Velikovsky: A Personal Chronological Perspective of His Final Years [Journals] [Aeon]
... recall, there was only one occasion when I managed to have lunch with Ralph Juergens, a retired civil engineer, and C.J . Ransom, a physicist with General Dynamics. The topic of conversation, naturally, orbited about the concept of an electrified universe- which was close to Juergens' heart and a principal pillar of Velikovsky's cosmology. Juergens' views concerning the electric fields emanating from and surrounding the Sun were somewhat beyond my mathematical grasp, although Ransom seemed to have a much better appreciation of their physical significance. My own views were self-limited to the concept of an electrified Earth, borrowing from Juergens' larger model to satisfy certain unsolved problems in the message of ...
245. A Philosophy for Interdisciplinary Studies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... by one party will not be counted as evidence by the other. Further, and in consequence of this last view, it is maintained that it is misleading to say that one paradigm is more "true" than another, or that one gets closer and closer to the truth as one paradigm succeeds another - say, when the pre-Copernican cosmology is succeeded by the Copernican, or that of Newton by that of Einstein [5 ]. If to defy a reigning paradigm is to be a crank, then VELIKOVSKY, who has defied at least three paradigms, in astronomy, palaeontology and ancient history, is triply a crank. But then, Copernicus and Galileo were cranks for ...
246. Discussion [Journals] [Aeon]
... II:2 ). Mr. Cardona has apparently researched ancient historical records for many years and potentially can offer considerable insight into what those records say. He appears to refuse to draw any distinction between the described experiences of our predecessors and their belief system as to causation. This is a major disservice to readers desiring to pursue knowledge of cosmological origins. Many of us have faulted the scientific community for ignoring the records of observations made by our predecessors. Items such as the ancient 360 day year, the "coincidence" of Martian and Earth identical spin rates and axis tilts, the existence of ancient drawings of live dinosaurs, etc., are all ignored and treated as ...
... by generations of Orientalists and archaeologists. 240 Nineveh proclaimed itself as the seat of stable order and power by its seven-times crenellated circle of walls, colored with the seven planetary colors, and so thick that chariots could run along the top. The planetary symbolism spread to India, as was seen in chapter VIII, and culminated in that prodigious cosmological diagram that is the temple of Barabudur in Java [n17 P. Mus, Barabudur (1935).]. It is still evident in the innumerable stupas which dot the Indian countryside, whose superimposed crowns stand for the planetary heavens. And here we have the Establishment seen as a Way Up and Beyond, as Numenius would have ...
248. The Cosmic Serpent by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [Kronos]
... in the Exodus account and by Ipuwer is neither explored nor explained. This was undoubtedly a missed opportunity, because similar falls of "blood" are associated with the catastrophic aspects of Hathor in Egyptian accounts(34) and Inanna in Sumerian.(35) Are we to assume that they found these references to "blood" enigmatic? COSMOLOGICAL CHALLENGE Errors in the handling of mythology notwithstanding, their cosmological set-up for the era 2000-700 B.C . is worth examining. Although decrying Velikovsky for his having suggested that the planets Venus and Mars could have been in wandering orbits and have tangled with Earth, they have certainly been impressed with the evidence for "Venus" and " ...
249. Dragons and Serpents (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... All can do is to supply some possible reasons for the forms in which their reports have come down to us. It should be understood that the equation: the Dragon = the dying Tertiary satellite (or the Moon), isby no means the deduction, still less invention, of the school of mythologists which bases its researches upon Hoerbiger's Cosmological Theory. Such connections must also have been evident to the ancient civilizations of our Earth. In Chinese writing, the pictograph lung, Dragon, radical No. 212,consists of an unmistakable drawing of a winged dragon. This is probably as it should be in pictographic writing, but the symbol is specially determined' with the aid ...
250. On Comets and Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... identification with the planet Saturn, moreover, that we would account for the solar characteristics in Quetzalcoatl's cult; the planet Saturn being, as we have seen elsewhere, widely regarded as an ancient sun-god. (82) Thus the Greek Helios, Latin Sol, Akkadian Shamash and Hindu Surya were all identified with the planet Saturn. That Mesoamerican cosmology recognized different suns as having ruled in the past is well-known, of course. Various accounts name four or five different suns, each alike coming to a catastrophic end: "The earlier world epochs, or Suns', as the Mexicans called them, are commonly four in number, and each is terminated by the catastrophic destruction of ...
