... wings of metal around the globe. He felt godlike long before he could talk to his fellow-man on the other side of the globe. Today he can see the microcosm in a drop and the elements in the stars. He knows the laws governing the living cell with its chromosomes, and the laws governing the macrocosm of the sun, moon, planets, and stars. He assumes that gravitation keeps the planetary system together, man and beast on their planet, the sea within its borders. For millions and millions of years, he maintains, the planets have rolled along on the same paths, and their moons around them, and man in these eons has arisen from ...
... when men began to gather gold, silver, gems, and pearls from all parts of the earth, and made idols thereof a thousand parasangs high. What was worse, by means of the magic arts taught them by the angels Uzza and Azzael, they set themselves as masters over the heavenly spheres, and forced the sun, the moon, and the stars to be subservient to themselves instead of the Lord. This impelled the angels to ask God: " What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? ' Why didst Thou abandon the highest of the heavens, the seat of Thy glory and Thy exalted Throne in Arabot, and descend to men, who ...
... come. For from today new feasts and customs date, Because to-night is born Shah Kai Khusrau!" The chieftain roused him from his sweet repose: Gulshahr the sunny-faced woke. Piran Said unto her: "Arise, Betake thyself To minister to Farangis, for I Saw Siyawush in sleep a moment since, Surpassing both the sun and moon in lustre, And crying: Sleep no more, but join the feast Of Kai Khusrau, the monarch of the world! ' " Gulshahr came hasting to the Moon and saw The prince already born; she went with cries Of joy that made the palace ring again Back to Piran tbe chief. "Thou wouldest say," ...
694. The Celestial Dynamics of "Worlds in Collision" [Journals] [SIS Review]
... all satellite systems that have been observed - for instance, those of Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus - are also resonant systems. Orbitally unstable: This means that a slight change in the initial conditions can produce a large change as time devolves. Let me give an example of orbital instability. There is a point between the Earth and the Moon at which a small spaceship would theoretically be in equilibrium (neglecting all the other planets, the Sun, etc.): this is the place at which the gravitational attraction of the Earth will just equal the gravitational attraction of the Moon (Fig. 1). If you put a body exactly on that point - assuming we ...
695. Monitor [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Fuzzy lights Science Frontiers No.86, March-April 1993 Fuzzy rapidly moving lights in the sky are frequently observed by amateur astronomers and are as yet not satisfactorily explained. They may be related to the small icy comets postulated by Frank to bring water continually to Earth. Lunar volcanicity The Times, 24.12.92 Photographs of the Moon taken recently by spacecraft Galileo reveal that volcanic activity was much more frequent and widespread during the early history of the moon than previously believed'. Ice on Mercury The Baltimore Sun 7.11.91 Although it is the second hottest planet in the Solar System, Mercury appears to have icecaps. A planetary scientist remarked that prior to ...
696. Doubt Cast on Frank's Small-comet Theory [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 1998:1 (June 1998) Home | Issue Contents Doubt Cast on Frank's Small-comet Theory 27 January 1998 The small-comet hypothesis: An upper limit to the current impact rate on the Moon. J.A . Grier* & A.S . McEwen. Geophysical Research Letters, 1997, Vol.24, No.24, pp.3105-3108. *University of Arizona, Lunar & Planetary Lab, Tucson, AZ 85721. Frank et al. [1986b] and Frank and Sigwarth [1993] hypothesized the intense bombardment of the terrestrial atmosphere by small comets. Their model requires that the Moon is impacted by small comets (10( ...
697. Assyrian and Babylonian Chronology [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... ancient Assyrians give such importance to a partial eclipse taking place early in the morning when they did not record in their Limmu List any full eclipse that took place in the middle part of the day? An eclipse did take place in the 10th year of Ashur-dan III but I believe that this was no ordinary eclipse of the sun by the moon, but was an eclipse of the sun by an astronomical body then called Nergal. I also agree with Velikovsky that this body was at that time approaching the Earth uncomfortably closely every thirty years but I cannot agree with his datings. In order to date this cycle precisely, it is important to avoid even one year of error in ...

... or tail of, apart, I would like to think, from the author of the OERA LINDA BOOK. Never mind that he doesn't once mention Stonehenge; it is another good example of his concealed brilliance. It is the name Friar's Heel which is associated with the Heelstone. I quote from J. E. Wood (SUN, MOON AND STANDING STONES): "It is fairly certain that the Heel Stone was a lunar marker and not, as is popularly supposed, an indicator for the midsummer sunrise." Those who know the OERA LINDA BOOK may see at once what I am driving at when I suggest the stone was meant to be "Frya's Heil" ...

700. Paradise And Disaster In T. S. Eliot'S "four Quartets" [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... 1962). My perception of the Quartets, however, leads me to regard it, in general terms, as more mythic than religious and, in specific terms, as more pagan than Christian. Of the various godlike figures cited in the poem, no one is unambiguously Biblical. Krishna is Hindu and Mars pre-Christian. The Sun and Moon are astral. The river, "a strong brown god," could come from any nature-worshiping tradition. And even the Queen of Heaven could as well represent Ishtar or Venus as Mary, the mother of Jesus. While considering the element of paradox in Eliot's writings, we should note that the keynote quotation with which he introduces his ...
