122. Pensée [Journals] [SIS Review]
... : THE TITIUS-BODE LAW AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM - If the Titius-Bode Law is real, then recurrent large-scale changes in the solar system are unlikely to have occurred. Dr Ransom's response shows that a slight modification of the ad hoc first term of the equation equally well describes the solar system without Venus. Dr Carter Sutherland: CHINA'S DRAGON - Traces the mythological motifs associated with the dragon to their origin about 1500 BC in a description of a fiery cometary body. Dr W. T. Plummer: VENUS CLOUDS: TEST FOR HYDROCARBONS - The infra-red reflection spectra of the Venus clouds do not support the presence of hydrocarbons, in the view of this writer. Dr Wilfrid ...
... these mystic cometary gases as Shekinfth, the Veil, and the most sacred attribute of the Godhead (120). EFFECT OF SOLAR RADIATION UPON COMETARY GASES 116. The visible tail of a comet as the body approaches closer towards the sun betrays strange movements which give it the appearance often as of some vast fabulous monster, such as a dragon or a fiery serpent, lashing its tail in agony as it plunges blindly forward along its allotted path. The effects of the solar rays operating upon this wanderer through space are seen in constant changes in its size and shape. It twists and contorts itself like a great writhing serpent, arches its back, throws its tail above its ...
... out to procure certain golden apples from the garden of the Hesperides in the distant west. As these apples were out of his reach, Atlas procured them for him, while Hercules supported the heavenly vault in the meantime. Atlas refused to take the burden back on to his own shoulders again, but was tricked. Through this delay the dragon Ladon,59 the guardian of the apple-tree, was able to catch up with Hercules and threatened to kill him, but was slain by the hero. Hercules then fled, and to make pursuit impossible he wrenched Africa and Europe asunder. In his hurry to escape the golden apples were lost. Let us review this myth in the ...
125. The Literature of the Bible (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... apocalyptic fragments. In addition to the great Apocalypse itself, we find important passages in Isaiah (especially chapters xxiv- xxvii), Ezekiel (especially chapters i and x), and Daniel (ii. 31-35; vii. 1-14; viii. 1-14),while references and allusions are scattered through the whole Bible. The primeval Serpent or Dragon appears again and again, and so do the mythical monsters- behomoth, tehomoth, leviathan, seraphim, cherubim; also fire-rain, earthquake catastrophes, the flood, the mountain ofGod, the garden of Eden, and so on. It is as peculiar as it is evident that the apocalyptic fragments are practically foreign to their context. There ...
126. Sandal-straps and Semiology [Books] [de Grazia books]
... letters might be rewarding (I wrote "rewording" and scratched it out). Thus I think that the word "Mkl" who is Michael the Archangel and a Hebrew identity for Cometary Venus, may also be "Mlkh" in reverse, who is Moloch, the godfigure dreaded by the ancient Hebrews. And so Python (the dragon killed by Apollo) and Phaeton (the solar figure who was struck down by Zeus to save the burning up of the Earth) and Typhon (the monster dragon also struck down by Zeus) who is tied closely to the cometary-Venus of the mid-second millennium, and who is also Typhoon, the storms of South Asia and Hurracan, ...

128. Thoth Vol canoes" on the Jovian moon Io, [Journals] [Thoth]
... "Remembering" is an encounter with cosmic disaster, when planets appeared gigantic in our sky. According to author David Talbott and his colleagues, the planets inspired mythical themes now incomprehensible to science: a lost Golden Age, when humankind lived in the shadow of the planetary gods; a "mother goddess" with long-flowing hair; the fiery dragon threatening to destroy the world; a celestial hero who "subdued" the dragon, and titanic wars of the gods. In one overview, this documentary suggests an entirely new interpretation of planetary history, while illuminating the mythical, ritual, and symbolic roots of civilization. Thousands of viewers have agreed - this film opens windows never before ...

... , lonely and wild, very often near springs or waterfalls.

Mountain tops in the Andes sometimes seem to glow in great sheets of light which seem to emanate from the peaks and stretch way out ...
