... look about us. First, we will look to the South, far down the Indian Ocean. What was supposed to lie in that direction? To begin with their distribution of the different quarters of the world among the gods, this is the quarter belonging to Yama) the god of the dead: " May he whose hands the thunder wield Be in the East thy guard and shield; May Yama's care the South befriend, And Varun's arm the West defend; And let Kuvera, lord of gold, The North with firm protection hold."2 In precise accordance with our Key to Ancient Cosmology, it is the direction of descent. North is upwards (uttarat ...
282. Thoth Vol III, No. 4: Feb 15, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... reading Immanuel Velikovsky's Worlds In Collision. Thornhill accepted the challenge of integrating the cultural record of mythology and the experiments of the plasma lab and the advances of the space age into a coherent picture. He summarizes this synthesis admirably in a single picture which appears on page 146 of the CD. The photo shows an ancient statue of Zeus, thunderbolt poised in his up-raised hand. But the object called "thunderbolt" isn't the zigzag symbol a child might draw to symbolize lightning. Instead, it's a bundle of corkscrew filaments within a football-shaped envelope, a shape recognizable today as a plasmoid. The ancient artist, who presumably had no experience in plasma labs, sculpted a shape that ...
... rocks fell upon villages in the valleys, though where they came from remained a mystery. (e ) A violent "electric storm" swept the region at the same time. "Flashes and weird lights" filled the heavens during the ominous rocking of the earth, which it was said scientists would investigate into later. This lightning and thunder out of a clear moonlight night further terrified the people. (d ) In addition to the masses of rock or stone blocking roads and railways, a number of small rivers disappeared in districts where water was always scarce. (e ) The line of the earthquake was from NE to SW, i.e . from Mostar, ...

... of wind and breath. The idea that winds are born in caves (earth shells) may thus have had origin long before mankind knew aught of the cardinal points, or conceived of a sky-world whirlwind from which all winds emanated. In post-Palaeolithic times the "voice" of the god was the "voice of air " the tempest and thunder. The "voice of air was regarded as the "voice of the sky" by those who believed that "Jife was in the sky". The god of the sky spoke to human beings as the "air god", the "storm god", the "thunder god" or the "river god". ...
285. Conclusion (Carl Sagan & Immanuel Velikovsky) [Books]
... astronomers came to the correct conclusion, unexpected and surprising as it was. "In November, 1955, Harlow Shapley, reviewing the field of astronomy for the year that was coming to a close, selected a few highlights' as the most important events of the year. At the top of the discoveries he placed: "Detection of thunderbolts of Jove' of some similar strong electric effect in the atmosphere of the planet Jupiter...the first to be found from another planet in the solar system." "Shapley did not know the true significance of the metaphor. Of the thunderbolts of Jupiter, the classic literature and the religious beliefs of the races of the ...

... to such a degree, that he caused it to tremble, and made them to shake, insomuch that by its trembling, he made some unable to keep their feet, and made them fall down, and by opening its chasms, he caused that others should be hurried down into them; after which he caused such a noise of thunder to come among them, and made fiery lightning shine so terribly round about them, that it was ready to burn their faces; and he so suddenly shook their weapons out of their hands, that he made them fly and return home naked. So Samuel with the multitude pursued them to Bethcar, a place so called; and ...

288. Vox Popvli [Journals] [Aeon]
... . However, since AEON seems to subscribe to Talbott's theory, rather than to Velikovsky's, it would only aggravate me. Talbott's theory is not based on celestial mechanics, as he himself has said. I am not interested in it for this reason. But if Velikovsky's work on the deluge- Saturn and the Flood and Jupiter of the Thunderbolt- should ever, by some miracle, be published, I would appreciate it if you'd let me know. End of the Century Earl R. Milton, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, writes: About the date of the turn of the century: Contrary to popular belief, the twentieth century will not end at the stroke ...

... come down to him (one and twenty centuries ago) through all mythological time. He fully recognised that both myths belonged to the same spot, but there he stopped. 11 For on one side arose Skulla's sheer wall of cliff, and on the other Charubdis did spout and roar unceasingly; while in another place the wandering' Rocks thundered at the buffet of the mighty waves, there where in front of them a blazing flame vomited from the top of the crags, high o'er a redhot rock."12 Here we must see the central Universe fire. The numerous rocky promontories or places called Scylla, Scylleum, in Greece and Italic, the three Irish Skellig islands ...

... arriving in an electrically inflamed condition (at very different charge density). Some of this material would be strongly attracted towards Earth and could blast explosively into its surface. Even when a near miss occurred, the passage could alter the Earth's protective electrical sheath (as solar wind outbursts, produced by solar flares, do today), great thunderbolts would be generated, and again produce explosions at the surface. When a tremendous bombardment, or large-body encounter, would occur, most of the matter could not overcome the electrical repulsion of the Earth; but vast sporadic falls from above could dot the Earth's surface. Remnants are found buried under the fallout from later catastrophes (Velikovsky, ...
