... (Jul 1988) Home | Issue Contents Heracles and the Planet Mars Ev Cochrane The name of Heracles has conjured up images of strength and heroic valor for some 3,000 years, the fame of the Greek strongman being unrivaled by that of any other legendary figure. And while there have been literally hundreds of attempts to explain the hero's original significance, it is fair to say that no consensus has been reached and a mystery remains. Our purpose here will be to present the outlines of a comprehensive theory of Heracles' origins, one capable of accounting for the vast majority of the hero's characteristics. Of the canonical 12 labors we will have little to do at this time ...
272. The Birth of Planets [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Vol IV No 1 (Autumn 1979) Home | Issue Contents The Birth of Planets Peter Warlow Copyright (c ) 1979 P. Warlow Mr Warlow gained an honours degree in Physics and Mathematics from the University College of North Staffordshire (now Keele University) and is at present a technical researcher for the photographic industry in Essex. It Venus originated by ejection from Jupiter, the core-ejection hypothesis may be extrapolated to explain the origin of the solar system. The original submission of the paper "Geomagnetic Reversals?", republished in the last S.I .S . Review from Journal of Physics: A, October 1978, contained two items that did not appear in the final ...
273. Night of the Gods: The Pillar-Axis as Tower [Books]
... in the foregoing pages in regard to the ubiquitous Pillar as an outcome of the Universe-Axis myths will probably have struck the reader as admitting of wider application. Let us consider from this point of view the Irish Round Towers, which have already furnished matter for interminable discussions without leading to any sufficing conclusion. In his memorable Essay on the " Origin and Uses of the Round Towers of Ireland," Petrie adduced proofs of the building of such towers as bell-houses, cloictheach, by early Irish Christian kings and saints. The peasantry still call such a tower a cloictheach or a clogas (belfry), or use some cognate term. Therefore, so one of Petrie's arguments ran, ...
274. The Kaaba [Journals] [Kronos]
... of god reputedly built by the Hebrew patriarch, Abraham, whom the Muslims refer to as Ibrahim. Near it, the Prophet Mohammed was born. It has been destroyed by floods many times, but each time it was reconstructed to conform to its cubic shape. The venerated Black Stone is believed to be the only remaining fragment from Abraham's original shrine. 2. Ishmael's Exile The shrine was not always empty. When Mohammed, in 630 A. D., claimed it as his own, it housed a conglomeration of idols which are today explained as a lapse of the true faith since Abraham's time. Mohammed had them toppled.* Thus his "cleansing" of the ...
275. Self-Consciousness as the Hegelian Source of the World View in Freud [Journals] [Kronos]
... Goethe's essay on Nature.(2 ) Much later, in a letter to Fliess (Jan. 1, 1896) Freud wrote: I see that you are using the circuitous route of medicine to attain your first ideal, the psychological understanding of man, while I secretly nurse the hope of arriving by the same route at my own original objective philosophy. For that was my original ambition, before I knew what I was intended to do in the world.(3 ) And in 1933, at the age of 77, looking back on his life's work, Freud commented to H. D.: "My discoveries are not primarily a heal-all. My discoveries are ...
276. Charting Imaginary Worlds: Pole Shifts, Ice Sheets, and Ancient Sea Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... [4 ] There are maps of Middle Earth, but you can travel there only in the mind. [5 ] Comyns Beaumont mapped Biblical Jerusalem to Edinburgh, and Memphis to Glastonbury- quite literally. Beaumont could not accept that the Jews, whom he despised, were the central figures in the story of the Bible. The "original" lands of Palestine and Egypt lay in his own beloved Britain, the cradle of world civilization. Likewise, he transferred Assyria, Babylonia, Phoenicia, and Greece, along with Atlantis, to Northern Europe. But, of course, that was before a comet rearranged the landscape! [6 ] In the same way that a ...
277. Kronos, Minos, and the Celestial Labyrinth [Journals] [Kronos]
... From: Kronos Vol. IX No. 2 (Winter 1984) Home | Issue Contents Kronos, Minos, and the Celestial Labyrinth Ev Cochrane INTRODUCTION Editor's Note: This paper was originally read at the September 1983 Haliburton seminar sponsored by the Canadian Society for Interdisciplinary Studies. - LMG A central theme running throughout the writings of Immanuel Velikovsky is the intimate association between myth and history. Beginning with the Exodus account and Athena's birth in Worlds in Collision, continuing with the Oedipus legend in Oedipus and Akhnaton, and throughout the Ages in Chaos series, Velikovsky sought to find in myth a key to history. While other scholars have also considered myth to be a reflection of history ...
278. Mass Movements in Level Areas [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... processes such as erosion, deposition and volcanic activity, and that these would have operated in essentially the same way throughout geologic time. I hope to demonstrate that we cannot apply this principle in all cases, and that for many level areas the Principle of Catastrophism is more in accordance with the facts. This principle postulates that many geologic features originate from past catastrophic events, which have taken place at a scale not observed in the present. The occurrence and nature of mass movements in level areas Mass movement of soil is usually defined as transport of soil material without a carrying medium. This is in contrast to transport by a river, for instance, where water is the carrying ...
279. Legends and Scripture [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and legends, not so regarded, or whose line of custodians died out, were left like abandoned children to wander through time as casual history and unconstrained imagination, until caught up by scientific mythological studies. Giambattista Vico was the first modern scholar to perceive this process when, two centuries ago, he wrote: "The fables in their origins were true and severe narrations, whence mythos, fable, was defined as vera narratio (a true account)..But because they were originally for the most part gross, they gradually lost their original meanings, were then altered, subsequently became improbable, after that obscure, then scandalous, and finally incredible. . . These ...
280. Coldwater Carbonate Sedimentation [Journals] [Catastrophist Geology]
... the present warmwater carbonate paradigm and because of insufficient data on recent shallow glaciomarine carbonate sediments, which have not been studied well enough to allow recognition of ancient ones. In this paper, various criteria - field-, petrographic, diageneticand geochemical -are enumerated for the recognition of cold-water carbonates; these criteria individually contribute to and collectively illustrate a glacio-marine origin of the Lower Permian Berriedale Limestone near Hobart, Tasmania (Clarke and Banks, 1975). This limestone formation, a sequence of alternating limestone and calcareous shale, is associated with glacial marine sediments and had a paleomagnetic latitude of about 800S (Embleton, 1973). Both the fauna (mostly bryozoans, brachiopods and pelecypods) and ...
