... Socialism, and the marvels of science. He grew into a doctor of medicine. He returned enthusiastically to Russia on the bright promises of the Revolution, only to be instantly repelled by the anti-semitism that has always cursed Slavic Byzantium. He never went back but found another life and social promise in Palestine, and intellectual promise in the psychoanalytic circles of Central Europe. He began a series of booklets on what we might call unified science. He studied, he worked; he watched the mad world like a comet thrashing its head with its tail. I have heard his reasons, and those which others give, for his next move. I think, however, that the ...
252. Velikovsky's Sources Volume One [Books]
... have an Egyptologist comment on a copy of the original inscription. On WIC p.166, V writes: "As late as the seventh century, Assurbanipal wrote about Venus (Ishtar) who is clothed with fire and bears aloft a crown of awful splendour. ' The Egyptians under Seti thus described Venus (Sekhmet) as: A circling star which scatters its flame in fire .. .. a flame of fire in her tempest. ' " The Ishtar quote we looked at in the last section is not a literal description of the planet Venus, but a metaphorical description of the warrior goddess in action. For the Sekhmet quote, V refers to B.3 ...

... astronomy. These cases are spectacular and, with one or two exceptions, are well known. The story of scientific "clairvoyance" in modern astronomy starts with Johannes Kepler, a strange case and little known. When Galileo, using the telescope he had built after the model of an instrument invented by a Danish craftsman, discovered the satellites circling Jupiter, Kepler became very eager to see the satellites himself and begged in letters to have an instrument sent to Prague; Galileo did not even answer him. Next, Galileo made two more discoveries, but before publishing them in a book, he assured himself of priority by composing cryptograms, not an uncommon procedure in those days: ...
254. Boscawen-un [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2001:2 (Jan 2002) Home | Issue Contents Boscawen-un Norman Lockyer, in a study of Boscawen-un stone circle near Lands End in Cornwall, claimed that it was not only aligned to sunrise on the summer solstice but it was also aligned to the important folk moots and gatherings of May Day and November (Halloween). Boscawen-un is named in a Welsh triad as one of the three' (a magical number and not necessarily a limitation to the actual number of) Gorsedds in Britain (read here, probably, SW and W. Britain). In other words, the 19 stones of Boscawen-un circle remained potent into the ...

256. The Inconstant Heavens [Books] [de Grazia books]
... imprisonment, made clear the meaning of the assertion of the principle of indifferenza della natura. He denied the existence of a providential order in nature and hence of the stability of the solar system which is linked with the doctrine of circular movements; declared that only their imperfect astronomical observations permitted earlier scholars to believe that the heavenly bodies move in circles and in the long run return to their original position (de vanitate circulorum et anni illius mundani phantasia platonica et aliorum)[10]; and pointed out that astronomical movements are bound to be infinitely complex (differentias et singularum differentiarum irregularitatem) [11]. The belief in the simple and regular motion of the planets, he ...
257. Forget Amnesia [Journals] [Aeon]
... assumed that the Earth moves. I later also read in Plutarch that some others had also been of this view. I would like to write down here the literal words, so that everyone may be familiar with them: The usual view is that the Earth stands still. The Pythogorean Philolaus, however, hypothesizes that it moves in a circle around a central fire and that it describes a slanted circle in so moving, similar to the Sun and Moon. Heracleides Pontikos and the Pythagorean Ekphantos indeed have the Earth move, but it does not move from its position, but only such that it revolves like a wheel from West to East around its own center. '" ...
258. Discussion Comments From the Floor [Journals] [Aeon]
... . I still consider Velikovsky to be one of the great minds of the millennium, and myself as a Velikovskian. But the fact that Velikovsky was subjected to unfair criticism does not mean that he should be exempt from fair criticism. Velikovsky demanded total dedication to the Velikovskian scenario. Those who failed the test were sometimes drummed out of his circle. As a result, there was an element of manipulation in his relationships with those who admired and followed his work. Ms. Miller seems to be familiar with this tradition. Even an amateur analyst can recognise Miller's use of loaded words like "desert" and "clear his (my) conscience" to describe my my withdrawal ...
259. The Origin Of The Planetary System, Prologue Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... billion years, two occurrences like this for one and the same star seem quite incredible. Therefore, as no better explanation is available, the satellites are supposed to have been torn from the planets by the sun's attraction on their first perihelion passage, when, sweeping along on stretched orbits, the planets came close to the sun. The circling of the satellites around the planets also confronts existing cosmological theories with difficulties. Laplace built his theory of the origin of the solar system on the assumption that all planets and satellites revolve in the same direction. He wrote that the axial rotation of the sun and the orbital revolutions and axial rotations of the six planets, the moon, ...
260. Martian Metamorphoses: The Planet Mars in Ancient Myth and Religion by Ev Cochrane [Journals] [SIS Review]
... in extreme difficulties at the outset. Mythological connections point unerringly towards the conclusion that the sun god was in fact Saturn, who sat as a huge brightness on top of a column of bright material located in the north. The diurnal turning of the Earth led to the appearance of a revolving crescent illuminated by the real Sun and within the circle of Saturn's face could be seen the smaller circle of Venus with the even smaller Mars. The myths further point to the probability that at some point Mars descended towards the Earth, thus appearing to grow vastly in size and with its atmosphere pulled out in the form of a fiery column. It would therefore appear to have been born ...
