... Again their explanation uses only accepted geological processes. The seas' are thought of as lava flows caused by radioactive heating near the core but, because this core is only small, only one plume of lava made it to the surface and then the higher mass of this area led to its pointing towards Earth. However, things such as light flashes and colour changes observed by many reliable astronomers over the years were dismissed as observer illusions until a 40 min. darkening near the edge of the Aristarchus crater in April 1994, which was observed by around 100 amateur astronomers. One open-minded astronomer later looked closely at the data from the lunar satellite Clementine which was mapping the area at ...
452. Culture Heroes (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... different in skin colour from their subjects. Such things point to their being the descendants of a superior ruling caste of other extraction. Many institutions, customs, and ceremonies of negro tribes are remarkably non-negro in character, as, for instance, the remarkable present and past culture of the Yorubas and the Benin tribes. The culture heroes brought light to a dark world in which the cold glare of Luna had extinguished most of the beacons of human achievement. Some races carried on the torch thus brought to them and found by its light the steps to a new ascent. Others could not ascend. Unless they sank again, they remained on the level to which the original culture-bringer ...
453. Jupiter -- God of Abraham (Part II) [Journals] [Kronos]
... following its recent series of clashes with Saturn, was still in a very unstable state and given to periodic outbursts of released energy. Under these conditions, the planet's gaseous envelope, probably excited by stupendous electrical storms far superior to those which the planet's atmosphere continues to exhibit to this day, would have generated a tremendous increase in its shed light. This increase in light, which would probably have occurred in a pulsating manner, would have been enough to frighten Chedorlaomer's army even if there were no accompanying earthquake and/or meteor shower of which the legends make no mention (104a) Would not this celestial intervention be considered too much of a coincidence? Not if Abram knew ...
454. Society News (AGM 2000) [Journals] [SIS Review]
... unconscious replaying of past cosmic catastrophe. Fireworks lit up the sky in imitation of cosmic events and a wreath was laid of bay leaves and swastikas, ancient symbols of the sky. Then the sky was brought down to earth using over 100 searchlights which were first shone upwards to meet in a circle 10,000ft up, the shafts of light appearing to descend from this circle and then tilted so the beams of light intersected one third of the way down, appearing as a comet. Finally they were lowered to the ground to simulate a catastrophic impact. The spectacle was accompanied by the music of Wagner portraying the myths of the northern cosmic gods as they finally are destroyed in ...
455. The Two Faces of Love [Books] [de Grazia books]
... From: The Disastrous Love Affair of Moon and Mars, by Alfred De Grazia Home | Issue Contents CHAPTER EIGHT The Two Faces of Love The Aphrodite of the light Olympian-age character plays opposite her usual star in the Love Affair, Ares. Her husband, Hephaestus, earns little affection from her, and, though the story is not mentioned here, she is the mother of three children by Ares. She is one of the few ever to have expressed love for Ares, and in "The Battle of the Gods," in the Iliad, she goes to his aid in battle and is roundly smacked by the Goddess Athena. If we look into Homer for the ...
456. The Tertiary Satellite immediately before its Cataclysmic Breakdown (Moons, Myths and Man) [Books]
... From: Moons, Myths and Man by H. S. Bellamy CD Rom Home Last | Contents | Next 3 The Tertiary Satellite immediately before its Cataclysmic Breakdown We shall now enter upon our task of examiningthe cosmological myths in the light of the teachings of Hoerbiger's Theory. As we have seen, Hoerbiger maintained that universal cataclysms have been caused by satellites which have spiralled closer to the Earth until they have finally disintegrated. The ensuing chapters will follow one another more or less in the order of events required by the theory. But the succession of events will not only result from the logic of a theory; it is also the order insisted on by many of the myths ...
457. Sagan's Pseudo-sagacity: Style As A Reflection Of Character (Or The Lack Thereof) [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... idea for island and seafaring peoples." Distillation is the separation of a volatile substance from a solution by boiling and condensation. You can't "distill" land from water. Astronomers haven't been able to detect any planets outside our solar system. If any planets do exist outside our Solar System, those planets would be obscured by the intense light that's produced by the star that serves as their "sun." (In a rare lapse in style, Dr. Sagan fails to call the corona of light around a star "circumstellar light.") We might be able to see the planets, however, if "the obscuring light from the star is artificially occulted, ...
458. The River of Ocean [Journals] [SIS Review]
... this day, colouring our concept of life and dictating the actions wherewith to live it. Jung, however, did not consider cosmic catastrophism and one can only speculate what role this would have played in his thoughts had he been convinced of the historicity of such events. As Immanuel Velikovsky stated of Jung's and Freud's thoughts: "In the light of these theories, we may well wonder to what extent the terrifying experiences of world catastrophes have become part of the human soul and how much, if any, of it can be traced in our beliefs, emotions, and behaviour as directed from the unconscious or subconscious strata of the mind." [3 ] In his reply ...

... when Jupiter, Earth and the Sun are in line. The Jupiter Effect' resurrected? Spooky glows New Scientist 17.1 .98, p. 6, 13.12.97, pp. 42-6 Liquid mercury emits an eerie glow as it swirls around a glass flask as it builds up and discharges static electricity. A mysterious light is found at the bottom of the sea where it was previously assumed to be pitch black. Arising around mid ocean ridges where deep sea hot vents are the domain of bacterial and animal life only discovered in the last few years, the cause of the light is not fully explained. That sixth sense Science Frontiers No. 117, ...
460. The Father of the Gods? [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... From: SIS Workshop Vol 3 No 2 (Oct 1980) Home | Issue Contents The Father of the Gods?by Martin Sieff Some notes on the history of the Solar System In "The Primordial Light?" it was suggested that the Earth may have orbited as a satellite of Saturn within human memory, and that conditions then observed may have been retained in the mythologies of the peoples. Indeed, the evidence was presented to argue that this is the only viable interpretation to the material when analysed by the methodology of Dr. Velikovsky (1 ). Actually, there is considerable "hard" astrophysical evidence to support the hypothesis that the Solar System was once a ...
