... ) (2 ) . The story has also been retold elsewhere, (notably in Pensée 1.1 , C. J. Ransom's The Age of Velikovsky and SISR 4.4 ) (3 ) , but the four books I have cited are the most comprehensive sources for our purpose, and putting them together, especially in the light of very modern theories in group psychology and in the sociology of science, allows us to reconstruct and interpret the events more thoroughly and insightfully than ever before. (For convenience, they will be referred to as "de Grazia," "Stargazers," "Bauer" and "Vorhees"). One: The Original Affair ...
482. Eden's Flaming Sword by Isaac Vail [Books]
... it the same Hand Divine that all through the tread of ages has lifted this earth again and again from plane to plane? Shall we continue to call this great world-step "The Fall"? It is very likely those who experienced the change from an Eden clime to one of torturing vicissitudes, considered it a fall. But in the light that eternal justice planned and directed the great scheme of man's redemption here, we cannot give it such a name, for it was nothing more nor less than another grand upward and onward leap We understand that "by that fall salvation is come", and in that fall "lie the riches of the world". (Rom ...
483. Conclusion (In the Beginning: God) [Books]
... From: In the Beginning: God by H. S. Bellamy CD Home | Contents In the Beginning: God XVII Conclusion With this we have exhausted the mythological material contained in the Book of Genesis. In the light of Hoerbiger's Theory of the satellites of the Earth the different myths revealed new interesting, and exciting meanings, meanings moreover, which had never been attributed to them before. When we now look back upon the material we have discussed it is not without a certain regret chiefly, that it was so scanty and so fragmentary. Yet Hoerbiger's Theory helped us to gain a satisfactory picture in spite of the lacunae caused by the tooth of time and by the ...
484. The Milky Way [Journals] [Aeon]
... looks to the northern heavens during the late summer (from the Northern Hemisphere, that is), one will find an amorphous gathering of stars known as the Milky Way. To the naked eye, the Milky Way is visible as a band of stars some ten degrees wide. (1 ) What appears to be a white shimmer of light is actually a zone of untold millions of stars, some clustered in large groups, others separated by large expanses of black space. Galileo called it "nothing but a congeries of innumerable stars grouped together in clusters." (2 ) A popular conception, attested on every inhabited continent, interpreted the celestial band as a large body ...
485. On Cosmic Electricity [Journals] [Pensee]
... Engineers on 9 May 1941. He reported that John Evershed had photographed a solar prominence that had reached a height of a million miles in an hour. I thought, "If that isn't about 3 x 107 cm sec-1, I'll eat my hat." It was, as a little mental arithmetic, confirmed on an envelope when the lights went up, established- and I was in business as an astrophysicist. It seemed extremely unlikely that these two velocities could be so nearly identical and yet derive from entirely different physical processes. Admittedly the density of the solar atmosphere is very much less than that of the terrestrial atmosphere, but I knew that the velocity of propagation of an ...

... Schol. Soph. O. C. 56 (Mayer, Giganten und Titanen, p. 95).]. These are the underground regions of Greek mythology, still barely noticed by the school of Frazer and Harrison in their search for prehistoric cults and symbols in the classical world. Yet here ancient Greek myth suddenly emerges in full light among Indian tribes in America, miraculously preserved. The very unnaturalness of the narrative shows how steps were telescoped or omitted through the ages. In one moment the Whirlpool emerges as the bearer of the fire-sticks of Pramantha and Tezcatlipoca. But why should they be in the whirl? Myth has its own shorthand logic to relate those floating fire-sticks ...
487. Thoth Vol VII, No 5: Jul 31, 2003 [Journals] [Thoth]
... #top Brilliant blue Achernar, (Alpha Eridani), the ninth brightest star in the sky, lies at the southern tip of the star-river Eridanus. It has a belt of emitting gas circling its equator. It is a member of a peculiar class of stars known as "Lambda Eridani" stars that show tiny but very regular periodic light variations. All stars and planets that reach a critical spin velocity bulge slightly at the equator. The Earth is 40 kilometres, or 0.3 per cent, wider from east to west than from north to south. Astronomers had been confident that their calculations of this oblateness were fairly accurate. "But the new observation means that ...

... From: SIS Chronology & Catastrophism Review 2002:1 (Jul 2002) Home | Issue Contents Bookshelf Jill Abery Stone Age Soundtracks: The acoustic archaeology of ancient sites By Paul Deveraux, Chrysalis, 2001, £12 99 Deveraux surveys ancient sites in the light of his theory that they were built with special acoustic qualities as sound was an important part of religious rituals. Cosmic Dragons: Life and death on our planet By Chandra Wickramasinghe, Souvenir Press, 2001, £18 99 The case is fully presented for the theory that living organisms came to Earth from space. Wickramasinghe and Hoyle's long disreputable theory is now almost accepted but do not expect any cosmic catastrophism from the ...
489. Planetary Identities: I, The Concept of Deity [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ? This is precisely where Boyles is correct because man did imbue these non-planetary forces with a will of their own and often anthropomorphised them. This holds true not only for those forces which terrified early man but also for those aspects of nature that were passive, beautiful, and even benign - such as fog [23], the northern lights [24], and even fair weather [25], to give but a few examples. Thus Giorgio de Santillana and Hertha von Dechend were not entirely correct when they stated that all the stories, characters and adventures narrated by mythology concentrate on the active powers among the stars, who are the planets. ' [26] ...
490. New Fashions in Catastrophism [Books] [de Grazia books]
... for the last mile." Too many interruptions, many of his own causing: too many projects, too. At least he has gotten reliable Juergens to edit his "Ten Trials" for publication [it never happened]. We talked of Livio Stecchini who is working on ancient measures and geography. His writing may never see the light. Why? "He cannot bring things to fruition," I said. "The idea is hard," said V., the inception." I added "The conception." "The conception is a pleasure, the birth is painful," said V. and he left it at that. He went to ...
