... though later molecules are tuning in to that first, indecisive pattern. This phenomenon is usually explained away by the theory that minute particles are carried on scientists or exist in the atmosphere, acting as starters for the next crystallization, even half-way round the world (sic). A most intriguing experiment in animal behaviour was started in 1920 by psychologist William McDougal at Harvard University. He was testing whether rats could inherit learned behaviour patterns from their parents and was satisfied his results showed this. Such a Lamarckian conclusion was as controversial then as now (see Ted Steele affair re inherited immunity in mice) so he repeated his experiments, deliberately breeding from the slowest learners to counter any ...

... , and not be presented with the evolutionary views of some particular scientist. Halstead's views re Marxist and Fascist attacks on Darwinism were delightfully described as asinine and Patterson noted that any criticism of the scientific validity of neo-Darwinism seemed to provoke illogical accusations. Surely a scientific theory should be capable of a logical defence. Readers will no doubt recognize the psychology of this situation! The general conclusion was that Darwin may not be dead but that he is definitely showing signs of age. - Jill Abery Earth's Poles Don't Shift Robert Schadewald, "Earth's Poles Don't Shift", Fate October 1981 In his article "Earth's Poles Don't Shift" which appeared in the October issue of Fate, Robert ...

... the Earth prior to an earthquake which could be responsible for this charging. His initial attempts to get papers published by scientific journals met, inevitably, with little success. He concluded that: "The standards for scientific work are simply too high to allow individuals to make convincing starts in an interdisciplinary field where little-understood geophysical, biological, and psychological events interact." This is a cry with which followers of Velikovsky's work will fully sympathise. However, in the years since the Friuli earthquake, cracks have appeared in the scientific armour of derision. The Chinese system of earthquake warning, based on peasant observations, has been seen to be effective, and an article in SCIENCE 193 ...
... easily detected, notwithstanding that they extend over regions of the continent as wide as those which fall within the range of the most extensively dispersed languages of the Old World.8 We cannot, however, go into a detailed notice of these or yet of the general characteristics of the American languages. The inquiries of students in the department of psychology, so far as the American race is concerned, have not been productive of very satisfactory results. This is not surprising, in consideration of the subtle nature of the elements to which they must be directed. Such investigations cannot probably be pursued with any degree of confidence, until it is determined how far man is a creature of ...

... comprehended by those who have not experienced it." 50km away from the eruption an eye-witness described how they were in terror of their lives and had no water as all the rivers were covered with ashes. In these regions lightning is extremely rare, thus volcanic lightning would add to the trauma of the situation. An interesting description of the psychological effects of volcanic experiences is given of another, minor, ash-fall in N. W. America. The people of a fishing and gathering community were so frightened by the snow-like fall of ash that they spent the summer praying and dancing instead of storing food for the winter, in consequence of which many later starved. These sorts of ...

... effect by morphic resonance. For subsequent tests it would be better to use harder crosswords, with cryptic clues that are both more original and involve more of a puzzle-solving effort. ' This comes from a letter giving the results of the tests to the participants. In it, Sheldrake goes on to say that two other tests, at the Psychology Departments at Oxford and Gottingen Universities, have recently given more encouraging results: the Oxford test involved discriminating real from false English words, and the Gottingen test discriminating between real and altered Japanese characters (in the Hiragana script). None of this, of course, could appear in The Rebirth of Nature because the book was already in ...
... which confine the thinking of most of us. Whether you are right or wrong I believe you deserve a fair hearing. (3 ) Velikovsky busied himself with the task of ramrodding the American Behavioral Scientist issue devoted to his trials and tribulations. Ever concerned with the form and appearance the presentation of his ideas would take, and a gifted psychological manipulator, he felt that the time- in the wake of the Bergmann-Motz letter in the nation's most prestigious science publication- was ripe for a revival and reappraisal. He told Larrabee of de Grazia's intentions. Larrabee had had a contract for several years to do a new Velikovsky peice for Harper's , but apparently the prospect of being scooped by the ...

... companion written astronomical observations. These records are chiefly from Egypt, Sumaria, Babylonia, India, China and Mesoamerica. These ancient cultures wrote of events and phenomena that bear striking similarities in theme and sequence. This body of primary myths are a conundrum for archaeologists and mythologists and do not fit the current anthropoligial interpretive frameworks of archetype and religious psychology, hence they have become obscured or ignored by the more popular efforts of scholars such as Carl Jung and Joseph Cambell and many others who work almost exclusively with later or oral traditions. So please bear with us. The wait will be worth it as Dave's work provides a compelling, if surprising, model for interpretation of the ancient ...
339. The Rise and Fall of Man (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... , a few disjointed letters, or just smudges- such are the records of the rocks. However, the unveiling of the history of the evolution of man is already being attempted not only from the scanty geological evidence but also from biological evidence, from the evidence of the great number of vestigial structures on man's body, from the standpoint of psychology, and of other departments of knowledge. But so far no investigator seems to have thought of taking the evidence of the myths into consideration. Though the brains and the brainpans of Tertiary Man have not come down to us, the work of those brains has. If we regard myths as fossil history', as the records of ...

... , and of the destruction of civilizations and their recreation, in a set of cycles. As one moves from earlier to later catastrophes the linkages between oral (and transcribed) myths and factual reportage, recognizably modern in form, increase. Additional corroboration comes from the developing science of myth-analysis, contributed to by classicists, anthropologists, philologists, psychologists, and archaeologists. In addition, archeology has disclosed periods of total and simultaneous devastation of existing civilizations in areas stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to China, and from Mexico to Peru. 5. Wherever symbolic and linguistic evidence is available, and usually also where only oral traditions are preserved, the catastrophes suffered on Earth and by humanity ...
