... and invade and take over Siberia, which is almost empty of population, as otherwise China is doomed to starve, with its population pressing against deserts and unproductive lands. As of today a million Russian soldiers occupy positions along the Russian-Chinese frontier, the Amur River. I will interrupt this narrative. I let the story develop without my interjecting psychological insights- let it not be another psychoanalytic hour. Yet pausing at this point I ask the reader, what would he make of the following? The five-pointed star- the ancient symbol of the planet Venus- adorns the headgear of every American, Soviet, and Chinese soldier. ...
392. Cosmic Heretics [Books] [de Grazia books]
... somewhere, on their own responsibility. I don't possess them, though I ask that they not be mistreated- the same as I would for other people's children. Who is entirely read, anyhow, he asked of me almost angrily, as if I had raised the subject. I said I didn't know. Once I had met a psychologist who had read the 24 volumes of Freud's collected works. Still, commented Deg, some of his pieces escaped the Hogarth Press. William Yeats dedicated his autobiography "to those few people mainly personal friends who had read all that I have written," but probably no one qualified. It's good that nobody has read everything of anybody ...
393. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... animated science at the turn of the 20th century included minds- Einstein, Mach, Poincaré, Planck, Hertz, Bergson- which explored fundamental concepts of nature. Today, great discoveries are being made in many fields- molecular biology, artificial intelligence, astronomy- but the analyses are feeble. Physicists recycle eastern religious philosophies, while experimental psychologists map the brain like 16th century phrenologists. Similarly, if I dare say it, the discourse among catastrophists is equally limited. Dwardu Cardona replies: The paper in question was first written in the early 1970's as Chapter 2 of a book in which I had intended to lay out a detailed, but objective, criticism of Velikovsky's Worlds ...
394. Worlds In Collision. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... , and evening I returned to the library to read for Ages in Chaos and Worlds in Collision. The implications of my theory for geology and astronomy drove me to those departmental libraries, too. After a few years I noted with a little surprise that the only library in the humanities and the sciences that I had not visited was the psychology library. I observed that in the large Columbia University library with its numerous departmental collections of books, I seldom met people who by their age or appearance seemed to be members of the teaching staff. And when I considered that this university has a staff of teachers numbered in the thousands, it appeared to me that not many of ...
395. The AAAS Is Alerted To Act. File II (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... crank has the intrinsically harmless theory, for example, that there are winged elephants. Where? For convenience, let us say that they are in the next room. If we do not see them, then perhaps we have a curious physical fact, that light rays bend around winged elephants, thus making them invisible; or a curious psychological fact that winged elephants are good hypnotists and hypnotically persuade us that they are not there. Thus a reader unfamiliar with Worlds in Collision is prepared to evaluate it. Lafleur explained that "not once in a generation is there an innovation so important that it changes many laws," and therefore, "naturally enough, the odds favor ...
396. "We Are Shaking In Our Shoes". File III (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... science a general resistance to changes in fundamental concepts and theories and this constitutes a kind of scientific orthodoxy. The degree of violence with which a new idea is rejected by scientific orthodoxy may prove to be an index of its importance." For the third time the audience was occupied with my theory when Professor Edwin G. Boring, a psychologist, also from Harvard (like Cohen and Payne-Gaposchkin), read the concluding address of the symposium, "The Validation of Scientific Belief." He addressed his words, or, better, his barbs, to me. According to the prepared abstract, he was as sharply opposed to Payne-Gaposchkin as he was to me. But in ...
397. Stones Suspended In The Air, Part 1 Venus Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear. Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger. . . . Thou didst walk through the sea with thine horses, through the heap of great waters."(3 ) Since the texts of the Scriptures have, for some psychological reason rooted in the readers, the quality of being easily misread, misunderstood, or misinterpreted, I give also some of the passages of the third chapter of Habakkuk in another, modernized reading: His splendour over all the sky, his glory filling all the earth, his radiance is a lightning blaze, on either side flash rays ...
398. A Collective Amnesia, Part 2 Mars Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... , was identical with the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The memory of the cataclysms was erased, not because of lack of written traditions, but because of some characteristic process that later caused entire nations, together with their literate men, to read into these traditions allegories or metaphors where actually cosmic disturbances were clearly described. It is a psychological phenomenon in the life of individuals as well as whole nations that the most terrifying events of the past may be forgotten or displaced into the subconscious mind. As if obliterated are impressions that should be unforgettable. To uncover their vestiges and their distorted equivalents in the physical life of peoples is a task not unlike that of overcoming amnesia in ...
399. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... unbalanced species with a powerful, built-in paranoid streak, and he finds an explanation for this in the continuing conflict between the archaic brain, dominated by instinct and emotion, and the neocortex which evolved explosively in the late Pleistocene and is endowed with reasoning powers. In supporting his case Koestler engages in zestful attacks on Darwin's evolutionary theory, behaviourist psychology and other forms of reductionism, with rewarding results for the reader. B.M . Chapter and Verse INDEX TO THE WORKS OF IMMANUEL VELIKOVSKY, VOL. l by Alice Miller (Glassboro, N.J .: Center for Velikovskian and Interdisciplinary Studies, 1977). This Index, a 278-page hardbound volume, is the result ...
400. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... No. 4, which leads off with Father Kugler's Falling Star, a paper which first appeared (in a somewhat different form in our second Newsletter. The compliment is returned in this issue of the Review with Professor (Greenberg's valuable paper, first published in this same issue of Kronos. Other major articles in the issue are David Griffard's Psychology and Ancient Astronomical Discovery and Ronald D. Long's Re-examination of the "Sothic Calendar". Taking his lead from Marshack, Griffard presents an extensively documented and provocative study of prehistoric cultures of the world, whose strong astronomical tradition fits poorly (up to the 7th century BC) with uniformitarian views or the learning models of behavioural science. ...
