... was labeled, simply, a crackpot. His years of classical and scientific education, his medical training, his preeminence as a first-son of Freud's psychoanalytic group are ignored or cast aside: so too his many years of psychoanalytic practice and theoretical contributions which Freud published; likewise his seminal works in other psychoanalytic literature. The immediate connection between his cosmology and psychological science is not so compelling, perhaps, as the reconstructed scenario of interplanetary disasters. In his cardinal work, Worlds in Collision, Velikovsky himself only hints at the possibilities for an integrated theory of the collective psyche. The underlying mechanism (collective repression) resulting in the contemporary collective amnesia is left to be defined (" ...

293. When Earth Was Not Yet Created: An Account of Sumerian Cosmogony [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... " has nevertheless been viewed by them as mythological (in league with Zeus' battles with Typhon), allegorical (an archetype St. George fighting the dragon), or just mystical (connected with some secretive aspects of the New Year's Akutu festival.3 Though Heidel4 recognized the epic as "the principal source of our knowledge of Mesopotamian cosmology," he viewed the text as principally a religious-political work composed to glorify the god Marduk and his cult-center at Babylon. Speiser expressed the common denominator among scholars by classifying the text as a literary expression of "the struggle between cosmic order and chaos"- "a fateful drama that was renewed at the turn of each new year ...

... idea of locating the switch which was hidden away in a cupboard. The sixty or so attendees included many well-known faces and some new ones, even a young Chinese astronomer who had come all the way from Beijing to hear Halton Arp. SIS Chairman, Trevor Palmer, welcomed us and introduced the first speaker, Halton Arp, on Observational Cosmology Impacts Modern Physics'. Having had the good fortune to read a large chunk of Arp's book Seeing Red [* ]on the way to the conference, I was able to get more out of his presentation than I would have if I had approached the subject cold. Active galaxies, Arp told us, eject material. In ...

297. Magnetic Poles Reversed. Ch.9 Axis Shifted (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... by terrestrial magnetism. "This is one of the most astonishing problems of paleomagnetism, and is not yet fully explained, although the facts are well attested."5 Thus we are confronted with an ever growing puzzle. The cause of the reversal of the magnetic field in the rocks of the earth is unknown and the fact contradicts every cosmological theory. The strength of magnetization of the rocks with inverted polarity is astonishing. Now, if the earth's axis changed its direction or position under the influence of an external magnetic field, we should expect to find the following: The external magnetic field would create eddy (electrical) currents in the surface layers of the earth; the ...

... in Upheaval, and personally upon their author. Galileo was received in many honorary assemblies with great pomp, even by the Pope himself; the initial unwillingness to believe what Galileo saw through the telescope soon turned into great admiration for his achievement.(2 ) It was the scorn to which Galileo exposed the Pope, putting his views on cosmology into the mouth of Simplicius, that caused Galileo's brush with the Inquisition. From the beginning, Darwin had many followers among scientists; and actually not he as much as his opponents were the targets of emotionally charged abuse. It was Huxley, not Bishop Wilberforce - the main opponent of Darwin - who in their famous encounter lost his ...
299. Mankind in Amnesia by Immanuel Velikovsky [Velikovsky]
... of our time. His first epoch-making book, Worlds in Collision, kindled a worldwide debate — undiminished after three decades — of such fervor as is reserved only for books that lay bare new fundamentals. Now, in the first of several posthumous publications, we have a companion volume to Velikovsky's masterpiece. Though widely known for his writings on cosmology and ancient history, Velikovsky began his career as a psychoanalyst, and earned the respect of such pioneers in that field as Bleuler, Freud, and Stekel (see "About the Author," following the text). MANKIND IN AMNESIA, in which the author's theory of cosmic catastrophism finds its psychological counterpart, is the product of ...
