... orthodoxies, exercise their own Index, and impose their own imprimatur." (25) The scientists, while continuing to seek sanctions, did little to improve their public image. In the July 13, 1951, Science, John Pfeiffer ranked Velikovsky's book with "Grimm's fairy tales and the Rubaiyat," and queried why the astronomers, linguists, geologists, and anthropologists had not "come out with their feelings about Worlds in Collision. Or should that be the function of AAAS? If no, is there an organization that represents the body of American science in such matters?" In the November 23 issue, Samuel A. Miles, a technical writer for the Hagstrom ...
242. The Jewish Science of Immanuel Velikovsky: Part One [Journals] [Aeon]
... use of source material. (22) Based on twenty-one of his own 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 klaioth (conscience in the bowels or kidneys) is more concrete than its Russian cognate uqrisenia 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 root rodo, "I gnaw"): ...
243. Forum: Do the Early Middle Ages Survive Only as a Sacred Cow? C&C Review 2002:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... being forgeries [76]. Since he stopped working on the project, two out of three are regarded as forgeries [77] In conclusion, nobody is obliged to question the number of Medieval inconsistencies - but those who are not satisfied with official explanations for what is obviously impossible are invited to join this effort. I regret that the linguistic barrier has prevented international cooperation for almost 10 years. This is different to what happened with Velikovsky, who showed us half a century ago that the accepted timeline is not a sacred cow. The foundations of modern chronology need to be investigated urgently and repeatedly. (translation: Birgit Liesching, Brussels) References The German sister publication to ...
244. Reconsidering Velikovsky [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... (p . 13 of the Pocket Book edition). Velikovsky had a hidden agenda in that he wanted to prove that the Bible was right. He finished by characterising Velikovsky as a great man, not a saint, but annoying, manipulative, and a honeypot attracting angry personalities. Sunday morning, August 19th Discussion led by Roger Wescott Linguist and anthropologist Roger Wescott, who was also the chairman of the whole meeting, started off a general discussion in which ideas were tossed around, by reporting on traces of catastrophism in the non-physical area, i.e ., in language and ideas, covering many fields from Wilhelm Reich via Freud's Totem and Taboo and Moses and Monotheism ...
245. The 'Unconscious' as a Literary Revolt Against Science [Books] [de Grazia books]
... the unconscious is the essential part of the individual, consciousness being only a kind of ciphered formula of the unconscious, a more or less fantastic commentary on an unconscious, perhaps unknowable, but felt, text. '" (p . 273) Theodore Thass-Thieneman (1968) reports that the concept of the unconscious was actively at work in linguistics before Freud and quotes Hermann Paul (1880, trans. 1888): "Perhaps the greatest progress by modern psychology consists in the acknowledgment of the fact that a great many psychological processes go on without clear consciousness, and that everything which has been in consciousness remains an effective motive in the unconscious. The acknowledgment of this as a ...
246. The Hamon-Gabriel-Mars Connection (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... background of conflation and syncretistic tendencies in ancient (and not-so-ancient!) India, names alone will not carry much conviction among Indologists. The contents, too, must be carefully analyzed and discussed, as must the context, if valid conclusions are to be drawn. In the end, all approaches must converge - at least ideally contextual, linguistic, historic. (To forestall any misunderstanding, the above examples are intended only for their methodological implications concerning the handling of Indian materials.) Now to apply some of the desiderata implicit in the above to Cardona's thesis - purely by way of an illustration. Why is the most common Sanskrit (and Hindi) name for the planet ...
247. Were The Hitites Lydians? [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... and personal appearance of the Lydians and Hittites match closely, and particular attention should be drawn to the long side-lock of hair characteristic to both peoples. The language of the Hittite Empire, known as "Hittite" to us, but actually called "Neshili" in the Boghaz-koi texts, was found to be Indo-European. Further research into the linguistic make-up of ancient Asia Minor found that Lydian too was an Indo-European dialect - a dialect virtually identical to "Hittite". In the words of one scholar, "Linguistically Lydian too is related to the Hittite- Luwian group, but the curious thing is that unlike most if its contemporaries it seems to be .. . Hittite rather ...
248. The Great Kingship of the Medes [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... discovered in the Boghaz-koi documents. In addition, there is strong evidence to suggest that the Hittite royal family of the Imperial Age was of Hurrian extraction,(22) whilst the Hittite religious pantheon was largely Hurrian/Urartian. Thus at Yaziliyaka, outside Boghaz-koi, the assembled deities "are arranged in Hurrian order and given names that are linguistically Hurrian."(23) We have argued that Ashurnasirpal II and Shalmaneser III were contemporaries of Suppiluliumas. It was during the reigns of these two Assyrian monarchs that the land of Urartu is first mentioned in Assyrian documents. From the time of Shalmaneser III onwards Urartu is seen as a major threat to Assyria. Such being the case ...
249. The Electrical God [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Hermes served under Zeus in Greece, Thoth might have served under Horus in Egypt. His cult in Egypt was huge. His character is singular. In Egypt, Rome, Greece, Phoenicia, India and Mexico, he is powerful and gives judgement on the law; clever; rebellious; electrical; inventor of writing, expert scribe and linguist; magical; a wizard; a healer; mundane; instructor; guide of wanderers and roads; equivocal; he hides himself; but never so great as the greatest on high, never El Shaddai (God Almighty), never Jupiter. But when Horus resigned his earthly power, Thoth succeeded to his throne [56]. ...
250. The British Connection [Books] [de Grazia books]
... or "Carter's foray into Iran was foredoomed; why did Dayton [author of a magnificent book on ancient ceramics and minerals] waste so much time decrying the mentality of archaeologists?" Now what more would I have wanted to do? Talk to Bimson re opinion of natural disasters at Megiddo Dolby re ice ages Moore re poetry Lowery re linguistics Sieff re...James re...etc. etc. I am diverging and must return and repeat: the British and their magazine were more of a free association and farther removed from V. s hulking figure. Hence it would be more likely that opposition should arise successfully there. First it happened when Euam Mackie ...
