... of Shakespeare's inspiration in manipulating these themes were unclear. At one level it is arguable that acquaintance with ancient authors (such as Ovid) who showed marked predilection for catastrophic myths would be sufficient stimulus to the imagination of the Elizabethan poet; on another it is just possible to think of such stimulus as activating unconscious memory of the events transmitted biologically." - - See Pensee (Winter 1974-75), P. 47 (emphasis added). 11. It is especially significant in this instance to note a statement by J. L. Henderson in C.G . Jung, Man and his Symbols (Garden City, 1964), P. 107- "In wartime. ...
632. Paleo-Calcinology: Destruction by Fire in Pre-historic and Ancient Times Part I [Journals] [Kronos]
... fall of gases, hydrocarbons, burning pitch, and stones, of course, is Velikovsky's "first cause." Even metals (again the layer of copper and lead) have been reputed to fall. Such events are unknown to modern experience but are indicated by ancient legends from many places, (27) and by various geological and biological phenomena.(28) We cannot ignore the Biblical sources that speak of "fire and brimstone (sulphur)" such as that which wiped out "the cities of the plain." The Cincinnati team writes in several places of the greenish-yellow discoloration characteristically found in the debris of streets and other once open areas.(29) ...
633. Gravity and Pterodactyls: More Points to Consider [Journals] [Aeon]
... our air-mass along with an inert gas such as helium to replace the nitrogen moiety. Under elevated pressure, nitrogen dissolves in the blood and forms what is called a clathrate, which acts as a narcotic- hence the term nitrogen narcosis, or more trivially "raptures of the deep." Conversely, oxygen under pressure is highly corrosive to biological organisms, causing a runaway metabolism to take place that in most cases is fatal. This is why a reduced oxygen percentage is used under hyperbaric conditions, so that the resulting partial pressure of oxygen remains equivalent to what we normally breathe. If a more massive atmosphere did exist during the Mesozoic- as I think it did- then ...
634. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... toxins. Experiments with one worm indicate that this tolerance, which is hereditary, can be bred into the population in two generations. This looks rather like the bacteria which are capable of mutating in a positive direction. Across the world in Lake Baikal, Siberian Russia, is found a large number of endemic species, including a seal. Biologist Herman Forest points out that most organisms in the lake were killed off when it froze during the last ice age and therefore its present inhabitants are the result of an evolutionary explosion over the last 10,000 years.

... cannot be influenced by the ordinary body cells of an organism and that natural selection can therefore only operate on genes changed by mutation. Scientists are now finding many ways in which this rule is violated. Genes from one species of fruit fly have been passed to another by means of parasitic mites. Even Lamarckism is gaining a revival: a biology professor, author of a review on the inheritance of acquired characteristics, declares that there is now extensive evidence for this and that it has played a major role in speeding up evolution. Nevertheless, textbooks still declare the process to be impossible because no molecular mechanism exists .. . that would make such inheritance possible. Classic horse evolution ...
636. Cultural Amnesia [Books]
... in his diagnosis, lives in delusion. But he did not know the true traumatic nature of the historical past, namely, the outburst of wantonness in nature itself, and so he insisted that each individual relives the catastrophes of the past, which he believed to be the murder of the father, the Oedipus complex. He opposed the biological view of his day, and of today, too, and insisted that this imprint was transported through the genes from one generation to the next. He did not come to know the true nature of the Great Trauma-born in the Theogony or battle of the planetary gods with our Earth, brought more than once to the brink ...
637. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... Frontiers No.90, Nov-Dec 1993, p. 2 The explosive evolution of most surviving types of animal within only 20-40 million years in the Cambrian period has long been difficult to explain on a Darwinian basis. New assessments of the timescale make the problem worse, taking this period down to possibly only one million years. Never again did biological creativity work at anything like this rate. Things were different then New Scientist, 7.8 .93, p. 17 Ice age carnivores trapped in the tar pits at La Brea, California, greatly outnumbered modern carnivores in their proportion to their prey. Now studies of the rate of breakage of their teeth indicates that competition for ...

... include a covering letter and send your remittance (no cash) to: Val Pearce (Mrs), 10 Witley Green, Darley Heights, Stopsley, Bedfordshire LU2 8TR. Forbidden Science by Richard Milton has just been published by Fourth Estate, London, (ISBN 1-85702-188-6). Milton's previous book The Facts of Life contained controversial views about biology and evolution (see review in C&C Workshop 1993:1 ). This new book (subtitled suppressed research that could change our lives') looks at, among other things, holistic medicine, the paranormal, nuclear cold fusion, Uri Geller and Velikovsky. A review is planned for C&C Workshop 1994:2 ...
639. Sagan's Folly Part 1 [Journals] [Kronos]
... The Velikovsky Affair, p. 237.) If anyone has attributed carbohydrates to the atmosphere of Jupiter, it is Sagan. On December 2, 1973, at a NASA Ames news conference, Sagan said that "organic matter should be falling from the skies of Jupiter like manna from heaven. And, that is one relevant point for biology in the case of Jupiter" (Cf. Pensée VI, Winter, 1973-74, p. 57). Worlds in Collision (p . 55) also anticipated the presence of hydrocarbons on meteorites and "hydrocarbons were subsequently found on meteorites" (The Velikovsky Affair, p. 237; H. H. Nininger, Out of ...
640. Charting Imaginary Worlds: Pole Shifts, Ice Sheets, and Ancient Sea Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... He found that, where the glacial-marine component of the sediments drops to zero, the radiolarians, coccoliths, and diatoms virtually disappear also. He reasoned that the persistence of pack ice throughout the summer during the periods when these almost barren fine-grained sediments were laid down would prevent icebergs from reaching the area and depositing glacial debris, and severely limit biological productivity by inhibiting photosynthesis. That means more sea ice, and cooler seas. This is in line with the results of later studies of deep-sea sediments in the Antarctic Ocean. Cook and Hays estimate that, 18,000 years ago, Antarctic summer sea ice was about ten times as extensive as at present, covering an area even ...
