... that even the great myths about the battle of the planetary gods represent a distorted story of an ancient space war. But the combined testimony of ancient people seems far more committed to natural upheavals (in their perception, "supernatural") in the heavens as the cause of this chaos - world floods, sunken continents, shifts in the celestial poles, and many other common themes of disaster -or catastrophe- that are preserved from the past. The Chinese understanding of the "Ching Hsing" was that it was a natural phenomenon and the beliefs of Mesoamerica regarding Venus were attributed to the behavior of the planet itself. HORUS is calling attention to ancient humanity's common testimony about natural ...
642. The Subjective Interpretation Of The Events And Their Authenticity, Part 2 Mars Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the cosmic drama. The best we could do was to interpret the mouse as a symbol of a simultaneous plague, exemplified by the illness of King Hezekiah. The tale of the Indians that combines the snaring of the sun with the deed of the mouse explains the relation of these two elements to each other. Apparently the atmosphere of the celestial body that appeared in the darkness and was illuminated took on the elongated form of a mouse. This explains why the blast that destroyed the army of Sennacherib was commemorated by the emblem of a mouse. The Indian tale grew from the picture on the celestial screen where a great mouse freed the snared sun. Thus we see how a ...
643. Focus [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... very difficult at times to distinguish between them. There exists strong circumstantial evidence in support of the evolution of comets into asteroids, and these bodies may not, in fact, be two separate entities. This conclusion asks questions of the Whipple theory of comets, and requires some modification of its postulates. lt also asks theoreticians who specialise in celestial mechanics to take a long, hard look at the matter of cometary circularisation to find plausible mechanisms. Scientific thought may not recently have been undergoing revolutions, but it does appear to be changing its outlook greatly. Old dogmas are being re-examined and some of the wrongs of the past are being put right. We have seen, in ...
644. Noah's Vessel: 24,000 Deadweight Tons [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... "chance"? Other cultures were more advanced in all of the required resources, except one. The others didn't have an artifact with old iron fittings in it, that illustrated to them both material and application. Where were these anchor stones quarried? Does the quarry still exist (or has it been submerged ever since)? What celestial forces were operating, creating tides on the Indian Ocean that were powerful enough to wash the Ark inland and upward? The mountains had to have been upthrust even while the water brought the Ark inland, and upland so as to trap the vessel. This offers an explanation of why her master was forced to wait until valley outflow exposed ...
645. Letters [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the Judge of all the Earth. Can we not therefore see the religious intent of the Old Testament as providing a disclosure of God, not scaled-down pictures of Him? It is altogether too simplistic to assert that "God" of the Old Testament is "really" Saturn, or Jupiter, or Venus, or Mars. Certainly the celestial manifestations of some or all of these "powers" provided rich imagery and fertile model-making for God's work among the sons of men. And some of the models have been better than others, while some have been like weeds growing in fertile soil. But to suggest that because the fire and the cloud of the Exodus is understood to ...
646. "Limited Fusion" and "Anode-Stars" [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... the Venus super-comet. Readers of the "Epilogue" to Worlds in Collision will remember that this analogy is not my own invention: "The solar system is actually built like an atom. .. . If the activity in an atom constitutes a rule for the macrocosm, then the events described in this book were not merely accidents of celestial traffic but normal phenomena, like birth and death."(17) Descending from the major to the minor we may ask - Do solar prominences leap out from the photosphere of protons in the hydrogen atom's nuclear core? And is the surface of its electrons scarred with the great spots and never-ending electrical storms of the atmosphere of Jupiter ...
647. The Dragon in China and Japan by M. W. VISSER [Books]
... by the Triratna and the dragon kings. A little later, in the course of the forenoon, the offering placed on the altar, are solemnly presented to the dragons, and songs and prayers are sent up to them, as well as to the Triratna and all the devas. Often a paper figure of one of the Taoistic "Celestial Generals", with a written request for rain in his hand, is burned, that he may take it to Heaven. In the afternoon the leading monk with the abbot and as, many other monks as they want take their seats upon the altar and recite the Great-Cloud-Wheel sutra. All these ceremonies are daily repeated till it rains ...
648. Beliefs Connected with the Cross and the Swastika [Books]
... there were gates and doors on the earth. It should not be assumed in this connexion, however, that the "world-tree "of Egyptian, Hindu, Scandinavian and other mythologies was necessarily earlier than the posts or pillars of the cardinal points. The tree did not probably come into prominence before it had been deified and connected with the Celestial cow. Nor was the cow placed in the sky before it had been domesticated and deified and connected with the sky-goddess Nut. After the early artisans had constructed habitations for themselves, they imagined that the sky roof was supported by posts or pillars. The idea that there was but one pillar may go back to the time when the ...
649. Plagues and Comets [Books] [de Grazia books]
... refused to let the Israelites go, and He cast them into dungeon darkness. They refused to let the Israelites go, and He slew their magnates, their first born sons [2 ]. All of the incredible plagues (including related phenomena that go beyond the magic number of ten) would come from a near passage of an awful celestial body; and nothing but the passage of such a large celestial body could cause the incredible plagues. Many ancient writers known to us, who had something to say of the period of Exodus, mentioned a great sky-connected disturbance of the world. Among them are such well-known figures as Eusebius, Pliny, Plutarch, Ovid, Seneca, ...
650. Interviewing Immanuel Velikovsky: An Introduction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... appeared to one who studies only the islands of Polynesia or Alaska or something else would be local. They were not local, they were global. And soon you will find that global catastrophes were caused by an extraterrestrial agent. Then you have to look, Which agent would it be? And then you come to the conclusion that the celestial sphere is not a quiet place, not a place of harmony for billions of years before and after [the arrival of the extraterrestrial agent]. NICHOL: What about the idea of the illogical element, your intuitive beliefs leading to the quantum leaps ahead in thinking? VELIKOVSKY: There must be some intuition, of course, because ...
