... ." (18) Another typical passage celebrates Indra as follows: "I will declare the manly deeds of Indra, the first that he achieved, the Thunder-wielder. He slew the Dragon, then disclosed the waters, and cleft the channels of the mountain torrents. He slew the Dragon lying on the mountain; his heavenly bolt of thunder Tvaster fashioned. Like lowing kine in rapid flow descending the waters glided downward to the ocean." (19) Here, as so often in the Vedic texts, the life-giving waters are compared to cows. (20) Indra's decisive role in the release of the waters is emphasized again and again in the Vedic texts: " ...

... black-painted boxes of wood on the outside and metal on the inside" --in which Reich placed his patients to collect orgone, "a non-electro-magnetic radiant energy coming from outer space." Having thus made out a perfect case of guilt by associating me with Dianetics and organon, Voliva with his flat earth also being made my partner, the reviewer thundered: Is the author of Worlds in Collision a deliberate hoaxer, "out to make a dishonest dollar," or is he sincere in believing his own theory? The reviewer who fails in a public trust is guilty of one or more of three things: He is dishonest; he is illiterate; he sees visions and things that ...
133. The Archaic Trauma. Ch.1 Of Racial Memory (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... agony was increased by the sensation of hardly being attached to the ground; the presence of the foreign body, and possibly some attending electrical effect, produced a sensation of near-weightlessness. Could it not be that the people who are afraid of rising from the ground in airplanes are victims of reawakened atavistic memories? People who are inordinately afraid of thunder, or afraid even to wet their feet in the sea, and others with incongruent neuroses of fear may also have their anamnesis from centuries or millennia before their birth. And, likewise, among the neuroses of compulsion there must be many instances traceable to racial traumas. The reader should not draw the erroneous conclusion that the human psyche ...
134. The Beginning Of Religious Belief [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... domination over the world. The shrines of Altamira are surely dedicated to Man's own supremacy. There is no trace of superstition, no hint of terror, no imagery of gods and devils: Man himself is God' in a world in which the forces of Nature are evident only in the raging of the sea and the distant roar of thunder. How then was this Siegfried', striding the world with keen eyes ablaze with the sure knowledge of his dominion over all living creatures, transformed into the cringing whining grovelling thing we meet in the Old Testament, pleading with a wrathful monster of a God for mercy, pretending to love' him, as a terrified child might ...

... and gets initial instructions regarding preparation of a covenant. Moses returns and receives the assurances of the people: "All that Yahweh has spoken we will do."[1 ] Yahweh, hearing this, commands Israel to be present at the foot of the mountain on the third day of their consecration. The third day broke with horrendous thunder, lightning, clouds, and trumpet blasts upon the mountain. The people assembled as instructed. Yahweh called up Moses and Aaron and delivered the Ten Commandments to the multitude. Apparently the people could not make out his words with all the thunderings, lightnings, the sound of the trumpets and the mountain smoking, so they said to ...

... and that the Earth was close enough to this planet for men to see the formation of the rings from a collection of small satellites. They saw this phenomenon as the castration of the god with a shining blade and commemorated it by harvesting mistletoe berries with a golden sickle. They were also close enough to Jupiter to be aware of the thunder storms which occur there since they called him the God of Thunder; the "Voyager" probe has confirmed this. Obviously, then, during recent times, Earth was moved from the vicinity of Saturn and Jupiter to its present position, and, if Noah's Raven is taken to indicate the removal of Saturn, this is the most ...

... was issued from the essence of Brahma a being like unto a boar, white, and exceeding small; this being, in the space of an hour, grew to the size of an elephant of the largest size, and remained in the air.. . . The Vara-avatar, or boar-form, suddenly uttered a sound like the loudest thunder, and the echo reverberated and shook every quarter of the Universe. The Vara figure... made a loud noise, and became a dreadful spectacle. Shaking the full-flowing mane which hung down his neck on both sides and erecting the humid hairs of his body, he proudly displayed his two most exceedingly white tusks; then, ...

... to Worlds in Collision. To those who believe one is not a catastrophist unless dealing with colliding planets, I offer the experience of our ancestors 10,500 years ago who witnessed the falling to Earth of over 20,000 fireballs from the Taurid meteor stream whose impacts putatively produced the Carolina Bays spread from Virginia to Georgia. The extraordinary thunder' associated with such deities as Zeus and Amun was, in all probability, the din of the sonic booms produced by such meteor bombardments! C. Leroy Ellenberger, St Louis, USA On Myth and History Dear Sir, Jill Abery's letter in Workshop 1990:1 , p. 38, was interesting as I have read all ...

... . He suggested that archaeologists should pay more attention to the weather in ancient times as all natural phenomenon associated with it would have been seen as sacred. Dr Meaden's explanation for the later importance of a masculine deity was as a storm god and the associated importance of bull worship, with its horns symbol, was due to the sound of thunder and the obvious damaging power of storms. Catastrophists would suggest that this is too mild an explanation for the cataclysmic symbolism of the bull of heaven', But nevertheless, Dr Meaden's imagery derived from this is not necessarily thereby negated. The tornadoes which are often associated with storms he suggests were interpreted as the phallus of the storm god ...
