... Dost thou purpose to cast a spell upon me?" "Nay," replied the youth, "I am beseeching God to let me find favor in thine eyes." His prayer was heard. Potiphar convinced himself that God was with Joseph. Sometimes he would make a test of Joseph's miraculous powers. If he brought him a glass of hippocras, he would say, "I would rather have wine mixed with absinthe," and straightway the spiced wine was changed into bitter wine. Whatever he desired, he could be sure to get from Joseph, and he saw clearly that God fulfilled the wishes of his slave. Therefore he put all the keys of his ...

203. Catastrophism and Evolution [Journals] [SIS Review]
... thought that a collision between the Earth and an asteroid might have led to the destruction of the legendary Atlantis, as well as to the extinction of the Siberian mammoths [12]. More recently, Sir Fred Hoyle has argued that asteroid impacts trigger the beginning and end of ice ages [26]. [* See "Showers of Glass", p. 8 in this issue.] Nevertheless, the prevailing tendency of evolutionary biologists has been to follow Darwin's belief that "Nature does not make jumps" [19], a dictum attributable to Linnaeus. The Modern Synthesis, or neo-Darwinism, uniting genetics and Darwinism, maintains that evolution depends on small, point mutations ...
204. Book Shelf [Journals] [Aeon]
... As a little girl in Hamburg, Elisheva Kramer ate only when she was paid. "The coins were ceremoniously placed in a box by her father and saved for a present for her mother, who for years had been bed ridden with diabetes" (p . 35). At one of Elisheva's birthday parties her mother deliberately spilled a glass of chocolate milk on the tablecloth and told the children that now they could relax and have a good time. "This impressed my mother [i . e. Elisheva], who cared more about people than about things. She never got upset when something broke or was lost. My father, on the other hand, became ...
... second volume of the published reports, "was founded after the crushing of Hyksos power in Palestine." It was rebuilt in the el-Amarna period: a plaque of Amenhotep III was found under the foundation of the rebuilt temple.3 Various small objects were discovered amid the ruins. "The ivories, the beads, and the vases of glass, faience and stone belong fairly consistently to the XVIIIth and XIXth Dynasties. Scarabs and plaques with royal names range from Thothmes [Thutmose III] (1501-1447) to Ramses II (1292-1225). This indicates only that the Temple cannot have come to an end before 1292 B.C ." 4 All these dates are derived from ...
... Psalm CXVIII.22; Luke XX.I7 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. Luke XX.18 WITH SUGGESTIVE INSIGHTS from other continents, it is time to take a fresh look at Shakespeare's Gentle Prince, a cultivated, searching intellectual, the glass of fashion and the mold of form in the Danish Court, who was known once upon a time as a personage of no ordinary power, of universal position, and, in the North, as the owner of a formidable mill. Well trained by the Church, Saxo could write excellent and ornate Latin, a rare achievement in ...
207. The Stream Surrounding the Earth [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . The restricted flow of the waters in the sky is reflected in the terms pipe or tube, band, binding, rope, loop or cord'. Reflected sunlight from the dust and ice particles is graphically articulated. Descriptive terms include resplendent, gleaming, bright, brilliance, splendour, radiance, beauty, fire in the waters, glass and crystalline'. The ring is also described as a mirror, implying reflection of sunlight. Von Dechend and de Santillana make the observation that, in ancient times, fire was thought of as a great circle reaching from one celestial pole to the other' [4 ]. The orientation of the ring is an extremely important element ...
... in these matters, orthodox scientific opinion is based on empirical premises. It was stated to the world that the earthquake originated at or near Oshima Islands. If so, why did Tokyo feel the movement before Oshima? Besides this, let me say that an earthquake is not in its effects similar to a stone flung at a pane of glass which it fractures and cracks in all directions. An earthquake in action does not radiate. It moves rapidly from one given point to another and that point is almost invariably from NE towards SW with a slight variant sometimes more from the north and at others more from the north-west, but rarely. The solution of the Tokyo Earthquake is ...
209. THE VELIKOVSKY AFFAIR [Journals] [Aeon]
... claim that there was much hydrocarbon there and a high temperature resulting from Venus's young age as a planet following energetic encounters with other planets. Nowadays, however, we know what is on Venus: no hydrocarbons, but so much carbon dioxide that the planet's temperature must be high owing to a "greenhouse effect". (Just as the glass of a greenhouse allows in energy from the sun but prevents heat from escaping, so such gases as carbon dioxide and methane in the air permit sunlight to penetrate but prevent heat from the Earth from being radiated back into space.) Again, as Ellenberger has pointed out (13) , the catastrophes claimed by Velikovsky would have left ...

... , mud-brick debris or a burnt surface in the virgin soil. This was also the first time I had ever heard of digging outside an archaeological area, so that here we have an analysis of the soil that indicates a conflagration not only of the buildings- everything around the towns was scorched as well. No tektites were discovered, but glass of non-artificial origin was found in the virgin soil. Unlike the Euphrates and Jordan Valleys, there is no evidence of such deposits in India, where Courty also worked. Initially, Courty had dated the mysterious stratum to the end of the Akkadian Empire. Having reconsidered all the evidence, she has now come to the conclusion that the ...
