... .13- 4. This extract also involves V's "references to the cardinal points": "By the time the scaffold was completed, it was about sunset, and the people dispersed. All spectators were sent out of the lodge, and the door was closed. The chief priest then drew upon the floor of the lodge four circles, one for each of the world quarters, and outlined then with white downy feathers. Each of these circles represented a region penetrated by the Morning Star in his search for the Evening Star and also the magic animal which he had overcome there. The white feathers symbolized the foam about their mouths when they attacked him. When the ...
312. Thoth Vol V, No 12: November 30, 2001 [Journals] [Thoth]
... electricity in space, but it doesn't DO anything." More and more of them are looking for answers to stellar questions in the plasma laboratory. And it is the math of plasma interactions, not the electrically sterile math of gravity that is producing workable models of galactic jets and galactic rotation. G. Johannesson adds "Imagine two concentric circles surrounding a dot. The outer circle is all possible solutions to a problem, either physically real or unreal. The next much smaller circle is all physically real solutions dependent on boundary and initial conditions. The dot is all closed form mathematical solutions. "As a former mathematician (Fourth Order Non-homogeneous, time- varying, forced differential ...
313. Reviewing Velikovsky'S Venus And Mars Theories [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Copernicus advocated (a ) planets were revolving in heliocentric orbits around of the Sun and not around the Earth, (b ) the Earth was rotating around an internal spin axis, and (c ) unlike the Moon, the Sun did not revolve around the Earth. Moreover, in Copernicus' paradigm, all orbits of planets were perfect circles, the perfect kind of ( 'roundness; they aren't. In addition, Copernicus thought the Moon was a perfect sphere; it isn't. Copernicus also was correct, but only in part. BUT WHAT A PART. Seventy years after Copernicus died, Kepler affirmed the Copernican theory for the rleliocentricity for all planetary orbits and for the ...
314. Charting Imaginary Worlds: Pole Shifts, Ice Sheets, and Ancient Sea Kings [Journals] [Aeon]
... mantle, "moving over the soft inner body, much as the skin of an orange, if it were loose, might shift over the inner part of the orange, all in one piece." [17] The ice sheets then move outside the polar regions and melt. New ice sheets begin to form within the new polar circles. In the revised 1970 edition, Hapgood abandoned this mechanism as inadequate. He offered nothing to replace it, only claiming vaguely that: "Advancing knowledge...now suggests that the forces responsible for shifts of the crust lie at some depth within the earth rather than on its surface." [18] The idea that ...

... at a point within the chosen error tolerance of the long axis compass reading. The general orientation of both the window shaft of the bunker and the entrance of the reed hut toward the two independent moats seems to call attention here. On the platform directly in front of the moai with the red pumice topknot restored, there is a small circle of 42 evenly spaced stones with a single open space facing the statue. The importance of such stone circles and their astronomical significance can still be observed in Polynesia. The Navigator, a supremely skilled seaman whose office holds religious significance as well, uses such circles of stone as a training aid in teaching the next generation the art of ...
316. Night of the Gods: The Axis and the Universe-Tree [Books]
... tree and the word tropaion by considering that this trophy was first (as on a medal of Severus) some lopped tree on the battle-field,107 or else a tall stone-where again we have the close connexion of the stock and the stone as sacred monuments. Remember that the same root and sense gives us the tropic, the returning, circles of the solstices. And note well for future use that the root is tark, which also gives us torqueo and Tarquinius. It must of course be added that the sacred belief was that the trophy-tree held a god,108and this again is another immediate link with the winged oak of Zeus. According to Thrasybulus (m Scholiast on ...
317. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... invention is made, its predecessors can be unearthed. Sometimes the ideas may be shown to be in a causal sequence. At other times they are apparently aborted and unrelated. And occasionally they are independently invented in the same ideological epoch. (3 ) A work penetrates into the body of science by the machinery of publicity, through acquaintanceship circles, by accident, by unconscious exposure and the creation of frames of mind (subliminal stimulation). It enters also by parallel practical operations independently derived from the same sources or from the same, different and related sources. It joins science by creative misunderstanding' or by anticreative misunderstanding. ' (4 ) The rationalistic modes of presentation ...

... colliding asteroid theory, etc.). The fact is that the Russians have gathered much data on Venus and had recognized many years ago the volcanic nature of Venus. (NASA only recently announced similar results.) Historically, NASA scientists have pooh-poohed the Russian scientists and belittled them with the arrogance commonly found in U. S. astrophysics-astronomy circles (for an example, see OMNI (January,1980), p. 38, "Disappearing Mountains") thus hindering dialogue between the two groups. Note that some scientists disagree that the greenhouse effect is the sole cause of the high surface temperature of Venus (L . Greenberg, KRONOS IV: 4; and Dr. ...
319. The Rites Of Moloch [Journals] [Kronos]
... world this was strictly a Saturnian rite based upon a strictly Saturnian precedent. I have yet to come across a similar rite that was ever conducted in honor of Venus. Just as telling is the clue left to us by the Midrashim-that the Tophet, or shrine, of Moloch consisted of seven compartments. These were akin to the "seven circles and seven compartments" of the "house" of the Celtic Ailill.(94) Circular shrines made of open rings, often but not always nested in concentricities of threes and/or sevens, were at one time scattered all over the ancient world. Traces of a great many of these Megalithic structures are still to be seen ...

... arrived in China,). This is apparently nr 970 of NANJO'S Catalogue, designated as "a later translation". From BENDALL'S extract we learn that the contents of the Mahameyha sutra are as follows. "On one occasion the Venerable Due dwelt in the palace of the Snake-Kings Nanda, and Uparcrinda, in the eucuntcr pavillion of the circle of mighty clouds filled with precious gems and jewels, accompanied by a mighty assemblage of bhikshus, and by a mighty assemblage of bodhisattvas, and a mighty host of kings, to wit, Nanda the Snake King, and Upananda (here follows a list of 185 snakes)131, attended, I say, by 84 hundreds of ...
