... orbit stretching from the asteroid belt to the far reaches of the solar system. Every 3,600 years, he claims, Marduk returns to the vicinity of the Earth, causing major catastrophes such as the Universal Deluge, and as the home of a race of super-beings called the Nefilim, stimulating quantum jumps' in the progress of human evolution and civilization. Sitchin begins with the famous Biblical verses concerning the "sons of God" who mated with the "daughters of men" before the time of Noah (Genesis 6:1-4). These verses are an old favourite of the extraterrestrial lobby, and perhaps justly so. Sitchin points out that the meaning of Nefilim, ...

523. Gods of the New Millennium by Alan F. Alford [Journals] [SIS Review]
... with them the secrets of civilisation and the knowledge to build pyramids etc. He identifies in particular the Sumerian gods Enlil and Enki as key players: they came from a tenth planet, Nibiru', which has an extremely elliptical 3,600 year orbit, resulting in periodic visits from gods' to seed life on Earth and accelerate its evolution. Nibiru also played a key role in causing The Flood, causing it by nearly colliding with the Earth 13,000 years ago. In Alford's theory, the fact that so many breakthroughs in human knowledge, from the wheel and the boat to law, mathematics and metallurgy, are all supposed to have taken place first in Sumer ...
524. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . But in this, if anywhere, we should be aware of the need for constant revision of this very assumption." Klemes points out that "the behaviour of time series of long historic records of geophysical processes [specifically the "Hurst phenomenon" concerning the maximum flood stages of the Nile] is compatible with the concept of catastrophic evolution". A modest start, but the journal is a potential source of value to members with a geological bent. Subscription is $10.00 for four quarterly issues ($ 12.50 airmail). The editor, though suspecting that "Velikovsky's theories may provide us with another kind of reductionism", is planning special issues ...

526. Myth, Mandala, and the Collective Unconscious [Journals] [Kronos]
... the cosmic monster motif is one of several archetypal forms which frequently appear in dreams and fantasies of modern individuals, some of whom, such as young children, seem unlikely to have acquired the ideas or images through personal experience. Jung concluded that the unconscious was in part collective; that instinctive trends toward certain mental patterns had developed through adaptive evolution and continue to function as "aboriginal, innate, and inherited shapes of the human mind."(4 ) Freud, founder of psychoanalysis, maintained that unconscious phenomena traced primarily to a complex of sex instincts whose basic quality and pattern of development is inherent in the biological nature of the individual. Freud chose the Oedipus drama to ...
527. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ideas put forward in Mankind in Amnesia are correct, such an association is far from coincidental, for the now peaceful starry sky has in the past been the stage for awesome cosmic events and the source of colossal destructions. Such phenomena, occurring throughout the development of the human species, must have had the most profound effects on the physical evolution of the brain, the conceptual and perceptual processes which operate within it and the consequent social structures and activities which proceed from these. Though, sadly, Velikovsky did not live to complete the book himself, it contains the abundance of provocative ideas we would expect from him (and which we hope to explore in future issues of SISR ...
528. Saturn Moon Mystery Continues [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Discovered Shattered Satellites? Nasa's Hubble space telescope may have discovered several orbiting clumps of icy rubble that could be the remnants of recently shattered moonlets orbiting near the outer edge of Saturn's ring system. Astronomers say this could represent the discovery of a new class of ephemeral, transitional object in the solar system which provides new clues to the origin and evolution of Saturn's spectacular rings. This startling conclusion is based upon Hubble Space Telescope observation of Saturn made during the ring plane crossing on August 10, which provided a rare opportunity to seek out faint satellites in and near the ring plane. "Ring plane crossing" refers to those moments when the Earth or Sun crosses the plane of Saturn's ...
529. The Continuing Ica Mystery [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . The basic reason would seem to be sheer embarrassment, a reluctance on the part of the authorities to become involved in such a highly controversial issue. For the engravings on the stones, if they are genuinely ancient, would reveal evidence about our ancestors which totally contradicts all received wisdom on the history of man and the progress of biological evolution. One of the many Ica stones with a comet scene exhibiting an almost obsessional interest in astronomy. The person appears to be using a telescope. (Photograph by Peter Afford) Pictures on some of the stones, usually those best and most intricately carved, contain apparently fantastic information: curiously depicted men are shown using what appear to ...
530. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... are liable to leap abruptly and spontaneously into new, more complex or highly organised states. Alternatively, they may become chaotic. Often there are certain "singular points" where predictability breaks down, the system becoming enormously sensitised to minute fluctuations. It is as if the system had a "free will" to choose between different paths of evolution to explore new possibilities." There may be implications for Sheldrake's theory of formative causation in this, as once the "choice" is made it is followed consistently. The implications for interdisciplinary studies are enormous. Who can predict how two astronomical bodies on intersecting orbits may behave at a certain critical juncture? How might that approach appear ...
