... but also in many other kinds of myths - most distinctly in the sense of primal ocean, exactly like ( 'tehom') "and not as the personification of any divinity like ( 'tiamat')" [16]. (ii) In the Paradise Story We recall that in the Garden of Eden there was "every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food" (Genesis 2:9 ). Likewise, in the Egyptian "Fields" sh.wt', and in the "Garden of God" k3n ntr', there were all kinds of trees with sweet fruits such as sycamores, figs, dates and vines, as ...
152. The Demands of the Saturnian Configuration Theory [Journals] [Aeon]
... retrieved from the mytho-historical record concerning the Saturnian configuration is what seems to have appeared, at least at first, as a tapered swath of light which stretched all the way down from the configuration to touch Earth at its northern horizon. Having received the generic name of axis mundi, this appendage is also recognized as the polar column and cosmic tree. It was even known as the world mountain which, Rose notwithstanding, [80] is not to be confused with the lithic bulge we have just discussed. This tapering appendage has been explained in various ways. Rose compared it to the so-called flux tube which stretches between Jupiter and its satellite, Io. [81] In ...
153. On the Disproportion between Geological Time and Historical Time. Part Two - of Earth, Fire and Water [Journals] [SIS Review]
... been no steady progress in the higher development of organic design. We have had, instead, vast stretches of little or no change and one evolutionary burst that created the entire system. New species almost always appear suddenly in the fossil record with no intermediate links to ancestors in older rocks of the same region. .. . The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils." [5 ] The one evolutionary burst that created the entire system' is the Cambrian explosion, when in the space of just 5 million years all modern phyla, as ...
... . This appears also to be a deposite from fresh water. It consists of sand of many different colours, marl, clay, and even of mixtures of the whole three, which is intermixed, and coloured brown and black with carbonaceous matter, also of rolled masses of different kinds ; and what particularly characterizes it, large trunks of trees, and bones of elephants, oxen, deer, and other large mammalia. Although this formation is new, in comparison* of those we have just described, yet it is of high antiquity in regard to man, as its formation extends to a period not far removed from the earliest periods of our history, when the earth ...
155. The Poem of Erra [Journals] [Aeon]
... you, hero Erra, who did not fear prince Marduk's name! You have undone the bond of Dimkurkurra, the city of the king of the gods, the bond of all the countries." (22) Yet another barometer of the state of heavenly affairs, according to Mesopotamian conceptions, was the health and well-being of the World Tree. In Babylonian tradition this tree was known as the Mesu tree, described in the following manner: "The flesh of the gods, the ornament of the king of the universe, that pure tree... whose roots reached as deep down as the bottom of the underworld... whose top reached as high as the ...
... not for himself alone, but for the whole of nature also. Before, the fruits which the earth bore unto him when he tilled the ground had tasted like the fruits of Paradise. Now his labor produced naught but thorns and thistles.[29] The ground changed and deteriorated at the very moment of Abel's violent end. The trees and the plants in the part of the earth whereon the victim lived refused to yield their fruits, on account of their grief over him, and only at the birth of Seth those that grew in the portion belonging to Abel began to flourish and bear again. But never did they resume their former powers. While, before, ...
157. Observations At Kintraw [Journals] [Kronos]
... three factors are responsible for this: (A ) The observer's height. Changes in eye level of a few inches are critical. (B ) Unpredictable, but substantial variations in terrestrial refraction, which changes from hour to hour, along the length of the alignment from Jura to Kintraw. (C ) The foliage on the clump of trees indicated in Figure 1(1 ). In summer this is thick enough to be virtually opaque, but in winter and early spring, it is sparse enough for it to be just possible to see through to the skyline beyond. We believe that this factor is less important than the two mentioned above, for only the tops of ...

159. Night of the Gods: The Stone [Books]
... . A daughter of the Khan has him bound with a horse-girth, dosed with salt-water, and flogged with a whip; when out flies the stone from his stomach. The Bande becomes a Thibetan Buddhist Lama. The Khan's daughter next swallows the stone, and so becomes pregnant; and with her maids goes out to play at the White Tree. She gives birth to boy twins, one good the other evil; the following generations likewise are all twins. (Here we have a new view of the Chinese mythical duality.) They are all rich, and from theta come the Chinese.71 (Note the white Universe Haoma Tree, and compare the myth of Latona ...
