... his razzes beyond the Euphrates. I believe that Harrak unnecessarily minimizes the importance of this evidence. Other than these relatively minor points, Harrak's thesis is one of the best I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Its sound and clear historical arguments were a delight to follow and, for the most part, to agree with. The psychological and philosophical maturity of the author were also noteworthy and perhaps an argument that some theses are best left to be written when one is- like Amir Harrak- in his thirties. I would like to conclude with the following quotation from a book on the study of time. I intend this to be a parting personal justification for why ...
592. Velikovsky and his Critics by Shane Mage [Books]
... history involves not quasi-eternal stability but repeated disruptions and shiftings of planetary orbits, the most recent series of which ended less than 27 centuries ago and wreaked havoc on all human societies. The experience of those catastrophes was so traumatic that the subsequent development of all human ideologies, both religious and secular, has included as an essential component a collective psychological mechanism of repression, sublimation, and avoidance against memory of terrifying events nevertheless described quite explicitly by the survivors and their immediate descendants, thus leaving the human race with a false consciousness of its own past and in a perilous state of cultural amnesia. The Israelite exodus from Egypt took place at the end of the Middle Kingdom, not ...
... beliefs, which have a history, and appear to have been acquired from ancient centres of civilization. The view that the Polynesian, who tattooed a spiral on his face, was moved to do so in response to the appeal of his aesthetic sense, is one which is exceedingly difficult to accept. There must have surely been a fundamental psychological motive for this deliberate act of facial disfigurement. We seem to meet with that motive when we find that a Polynesian of the "sky cult" believed, as did the Polynesian of the Underworld cult, that after death a goddess examined and picked off tattoo marks. The Polynesian who favoured the spiral symbol ascended to the "sky ...
594. Afterword [Books]
... something of these catastrophes in my talk yesterday. Most important, I must complete the manuscripts for the four remaining volumes on ancient- history, Ages in Chaos[7 ]. would like this series, my Opus Magnum, to be as complete as possible. It is my Opus Magnum even though the main problems are in cosmology, psychology, and geology, and not in ancient history. When I asked the question, could the catastrophes that are described in the ancient sources be correlated between Egyptian and Biblical sources, I discovered a systematical chronological error in ancient history. To my amazement, I discovered that descriptions of' ancient history were confused; acccepted dates meant nothing ...
595. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation [Journals] [Aeon]
... I very much doubt it, and a comparison of other people's mythology the world over certainly confirms that a lot more was happening way back then. The king as the World Tree with the cosmic bird, Itzam-Yeh, on his head. (Quirigua Stela F.) This kind of transference practiced by the later Maya is a common human psychological trait. Whether we want to believe or not, we all long for what was once the Golden Age. And, as Lewis Greenberg has pointed out, the role of kingship descended from heaven in a long foregone past. [11] The urge among the Maya to match the mythic past with what the heavens had finally turned ...
596. He Who Shines by Day [Books] [de Grazia books]
... AQ is HQ. When the behavior of a body X activates A and H with similar effects AQ(X ) and HQ(X ), then A and H are also given an identity. When similar X effects are observed upon A, H, L, S...n , then we can say that A has psychological and organic existence in the group (A , H, L, S...n ). To say that A "is" or has existence apart from (XQAG) and (YQAG), we resort to a second group (abc...n ) and observe whether (XQVg) and (YGVg) ...

600. The Afar Triangle As the Nether Reaches of Eden and Babel [Journals] [Aeon]
... years ago.) Others have suggested that the story in Hesiod's Theogony about the deposing and castrating of Ouranos-Uranus by Kronos-Saturn is a relatively late invention, derived from the deposing and castrating of Kronos-Saturn by Zeus-Jupiter. I myself have defended the late-invention view on occasion. The beginning of the golden age probably was at least as much a matter of psychology as a matter of cosmology. For it seems to have marked the point at which collective consciousness began. But this does not mean that there was no catastrophic change at the beginning of the golden age. Indeed, one would assume that a catastrophic change of some sort was just what gave birth to the collectively-conscious human mind in the ...
