232. Velikovsky and Catastrophism: A Hidden Agenda? [Journals] [Aeon]
... a hidden internal evil that had to be exterminated. The germ had originated before Velikovsky was born, but became most virulent during his young manhood. To this list of Germanic attacks upon Judaism known by Velikovsky, we might also add the theory of the Indo-European language. Developed in the 19th century, it is still a staple of many linguistic schools today. Although I am not prepared to say whether it is right or wrong, I insist that it can and should be looked at sociologically, which provides a very different picture. Traditionally, the Indo-European source is believed to be the mother language behind most of the tongues of present Europe. One branch is held to be ...
233. Of Lessons, Legacies, and Litmus Tests: A Velikovsky Potpourri (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... was enlisted when Neugebauer refused. My intention was to write an article about the debates at Brown. Velikovsky confronted a panel of four professors: Leon N. Cooper (physics), Bruno J. Giletti (geology), Charles Smiley (astronomy) and Abraham J. Sachs (history of mathematics), moderated by Henry Kucera (linguistics). In the event, Velikovsky debated the first three handily. He was stunned by Sachs whose address was both a rhetorical and substantive tour de force. Velikovsky's rebuttal began: "Dr. Sachs threw so many accusations in that Philippic of his that I am at a difficulty to answer; but I invite Dr. Sachs to ...
234. Velikovsky's Dreamwork [Journals] [Aeon]
... sound of the words and otherwise none whatsoever. (5 ) Out of these clinical cases Velikovsky developed a rather complex technique for analyzing multi-language dreamwork. One of his patients, a Russian Jew like himself, dreamt that mice were rummaging through his body; Velikovsky's interpretation, that the analysand had pangs of conscience, was based entirely on a linguistic method. The Hebrew phrase mussar klajoth (conscience in the bowels or kidneys) is more concrete than its Russian cognate ugrisenia sovesti (the gnawing of conscience). In order to operationalize the idea symbolically, the dreamer's unconscious represented the "gnawers" as rodents (derived from the Latin rodo, "I gnaw"): " ...
235. On The Symposium Trail [Journals] [Pensee]
... , Journal of the American Research Center in Egypt. Curiously, Kadish restricted himself to voicing agreement with Rivkin, and outlining the means by which a New Kingdom chronology can be constructed, together with their difficulties- an outline with which Velikovsky, in later discussion, offered full agreement. After reviewing various sources of information- annals, king lists, linguistics, genealogies, reliefs and drawings, radiocarbon dates, etc. --Kadish concluded: "I do not say these things as ways of presenting to you authorities who must be accepted. I give them to you as attempts to show the kinds of elaborate and detailed study of ancient Egyptian materials which must be gone into.... ...
236. Homo Schizo -- the Catastrophic Evolution of Man [Articles]
... need to reiterate, to repeat, to routines behaviour so as to bring it under control. A fear which at times characteristically produces catatonism and all kinds of what we would call cognitive dysfunctions, symbolic behaviours, an appreciation of symbols, a beginning of speaking to one's self, from which language ultimately emerges, and now I think both linguistic theories are edging towards the idea that language is really internal and consists of our talking to ourselves, when it evidences itself in various ways, it's called madness, but nevertheless it does occur and under controlled conditions results in what we call normally language, which is really public discourse conducted under rules set by the culture, but the ...
237. The Transfiguration of Trauma [Books] [de Grazia books]
... these myths do nothing for me." The greatest sources of trouble and fear are the greatest and most enduring sources of myth. The doings of the gods (nature), supplemented by the dynamics of sexuality and the competition for the other scarce values of power, respect, wealth, knowledge and health provide both the anxieties and the linguistic references used to compose myths. The combinations and permutations of expression that give rise to particular myths are infinite, especially when one adds the universal factors of wish fulfillment, already mentioned, and functional design, by which different types of myths are to be used as supplications, expiation, lessons to children, augury, dramatic entertainment, ...
238. The Two Sargons and Their Successors (PART ONE) [Journals] [Aeon]
... archive written in the Northwest Semitic idiom of Hebrew and Phoenician flourishing in the 1st millennium, but which is thought to have been founded around 2400 to 2250 BCE. Thus the Eblaic language appears to be some 1500 years too young." (70) In support of this, he quoted Mitchell Dahood who stated: "This lexical and linguistic conservatism is matched by social and religious phenomena witnessed both at Ebla and in the Bible despite the chronological chasm." (71) The emphasis was added by Heinsohn himself. (72) Back in 1952, on similar evidence, Velikovsky had also argued for "the leveling of the time of Ras Shamra [Ugarit] to the ...
239. The Bedrock of Myth [Articles]
... from flares on the Sun serve in part to counteract the interference, but in a weak and disjointed fashion. In present aurorae, what look like fragments of the Polar Apparition reconstructed from myth can occasionally be seen. If the hologram existed, it was the bedrock of myth. It was the template for numerous mythical and still more numerous linguistic conceptions which may now be unearthed from the ancient texts and the dictionaries. This conjectural model overcomes at least five basic problems at once. A truly vexing question is how mythical metaphors retain their ancient character at all, for history is quickly forgotten. A still more vexing question is how any elements of myth at all are transmitted when ...
