... Number 4 Home | Issue Contents The Cosmic String of Pearls Marinus Anthony van der Sluijs The New Mythology The quest for the lost origins of world mythology can be resolved with the help of a relatively small number of principles that one might call the "axioms of mythology." One of these is the understanding that the visual templates of the myths- the graphical imagery evoked in the stories, such as the descriptions of the gods and their landscapes- are a far more accurate and reliable pointer to the origin of the myths than the acquired psychological and sociological functions, meanings, and interpretations, to which too much attention has been paid in the last century by Joseph Campbell, ...

154. The New Science of Immanuel Velikovsky [Journals] [Kronos]
... historians and social scientists who began to realize that a universal and inter-related science of man was becoming a necessity of thought, if the nature of man was ever to be known, found that Vico had made precisely this claim two centuries before. Vico insisted that, if a full history and understanding of man was to be known, the myths of earlier times ought to be taken seriously as themselves accounts of the actual history of those times. "The fables in their origin," said Vico, "were true and severe narrations (whence mythos, fable was defined as vera narratio, as we have frequently noted). But because for the most part they were originally ...
155. Conditioning, Coping, and Concepts [Journals] [Kronos]
... ideas. When a casual generalization was reached by remembering, a procedural pause was brought in by Plato. This casual generalization was set aside on purpose. Three methodological concepts were brought into the discussion. They were beauty, good, and true. The observer was guided through a discussion of these three terms in that order. Here, myths that carried the meaning of these concepts were used to attempt to dilate the frame of reference of the observer. The myths used to demonstrate beauty called up the observer's emotional ardors. The myths that demonstrated the good then called for only his altruistic passions. Finally, the myths that demonstrated the true then called for only his impersonal fervor ...
156. Our Universe: Unlocking its Mysteries [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... Annis Scott www.electric-cosmos.org/ouruniverse.htm What Kind of Sky Did the Ancients See? Long before there were telescopes, space probes, or shuttle missions, prehistoric man cast his eyes to the heavens. Pictographs and hieroglyphs of a great diversity of early cultures independently depict man's fascination with and fear of what he observed. Myths and lore tell of strange and violent events - terrifying dramas in the heavens and catastrophic changes in the cosmic order itself. Early man built temples to the heavenly figures that he worshipped as gods. The myths and pictographs of antiquity clearly show that, at one time, our eyes saw a vastly different sky from the one astronomers view ...
157. Myth and Method [Journals] [SIS Review]
... From: SIS Review Vol 1 No 1 (Jan 1976) Home | Issue Contents Velikovsky's Mythological Approach and its Validation Myth and Method Ian Grant IN THIS ESSAY I contribute to the characterisation of Velikovsky's mythological method and suggest that the proper basis for deciding on its validity lies in the testing of its empirical conclusions. It is not my purpose to attempt an account of the development of his method, rather to describe basic features of it in a mature stage. Among mythic, folklore, saga and ritual texts there are those which can be regarded as embodying models of catastrophic cosmogonic events and their terrestrial correlates. For brevity I shall call the latter texts cosmogonic. Cosmogonic texts ...

160. Velikovsky's Mythology, Accepting the Premise... [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... with such matters is like saying that physics is exclusively concerned with formulating laws that can account for a Velikovskian scenario, or that archaeology is exclusively concerned with synchronizing events in the Middle East of two or three millennia ago! Everyday' events were, to primitive man, highly mysterious and potentially threatening: of course civilised man would not create myths to explain why the Sun rises every day or why plants grow in summer rather than winter; but early man certainly did just that. The evidence is incontrovertible that primitive societies see just about everything (and certainly anything that moves ) as being animated by a spirit, just as man himself thinks that he is. Certainly Sun, ...
