... have been a personification of the burning and destroying heat of the sun and the blazing desert wind."(10) To most modern mythologists, Baal was a solar,(11) or a storm and weather god.(12) But there are other theories. Can we restore order out of this chaos? In an Ugaritic myth, Baal allows himself to be slain by Mot, god of the underworld. Anat, sometimes referred to as his sister, goes in search of him. When she finds him, she carries his dead body to the top of Mount Tsaphon. Baal regains life and, for a time, continues to reign supreme.(13 ...
202. Maya Cosmos: A Saturnian Interpretation (Part II) [Journals] [Aeon]
... the diameter of Venus, the planet Saturn was the ancient god par excellence, the "Mother/Father" of all deities, hence the term Saturnian Configuration. Besides the three planetary deities there was, at times, a mysterious structure that seemed to link them and Earth together. This was the polar column, variously referred to in myths as the axis mundi, or World Tree. [5 ] Its exact scientific nature is unknown but current theorists claim it may have been a huge tornado-like structure, a Rankine vortex (especially between Mars and the Earth) or entwined electrical structures of sustained Birkeland currents (especially between Mars, Venus, and Saturn). A Rankine ...
203. 'Worlds in Collision' and the Prince of Denmark [Journals] [SIS Review]
... one that is communal, age-old and unconscious. We are collectively what all of our ancestors have experienced, and we do collectively what we are; our past, our racial collective past, determines a large proportion of our present, determines the sorts of things we do as man-we make war on ourselves, we make religions, we make myths and legends. It is Dr Velikovsky's belief that one of the major impulses behind these universally recurrent natural human activities, and thus a paramount influence accounting for their form, content and intention, lies in certain buried memories of horrible, order-destroying catastrophic celestial events, memories which form a significant part of our innate, inescapable racial heritage. ...
204. Thoth Vol II, No. 13: Aug 31, 1998 [Journals] [Thoth]
... science has done an excellent job of perceiving and conceptualizing the "leg" of modern times (the past 300 years or so). But when it extrapolates these concepts into the far past- or into the far distance of space- it makes the elephant all leg. The Saturn Thesis, using a comparative method to extract common patterns from ancient myths and symbols, adds perceptions from a different- historically removed- viewpoint. The combination is a greatly-enlarged viewpoint and a radically-changed concept of the elephant. Kuhn again: "[ T ]he scientist after a revolution is still looking at the same world.... [M ]uch of his language and most of his laboratory instruments are ...

206. The Celestial Tower [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... speech. In the traditon of the Greeks, the tower-building story is connected with a devastating upheaval of nature which saw the Olympians pitted against the Titans, who endeavour to reach the domain of the gods by piling mountains on top of each other. The resulting tower however is smashed when Zeus strikes it with a thunderbolt. In the Norse myth, the giants attempt to reach Asgard by piling up a huge mound of clay, in the shape of a man. This tower is destroyed by Thor, the god of thunder, who strikes it with his hammer. That this is a universal tradition is apparent from mythologies on every continent. As an example, consider the following ...

The population, about 1800, lives in Hanga Roa, the town that lies along an inlet on the southwest coast. The remainder of the island, about 14 miles at its longest and 8 miles at its widest point, is basically as it was found by European seamen ...

... (Spring 1979) Home | Issue Contents Forum "Let There Be Light" - A Criticism To the Editor of KRONOS: After reading Dwardu Cardona's paper "Let There be Light" (KRONOS,Vol. III, No. 3),1 found a problem with the author's conception of the role collective amnesia played in forming Creation myths. Explaining that mankind repressed painful memories of destruction and fear of god brought about by Saturn exploding as a nova, Cardona states: "Primitive man could not live under these conditions and his mind, in a collective attempt to retain its sanity, reversed the aspect of reality. Out of a demonic entity .. . mankind manufactured ...

... initiated, but then, at just that point, when equilibrium or even stalemate seemed to have been achieved, along comes Velikovsky, not a clean-cut American, not "one of us," (the victors), but a European and a Jew with a thick guttural accent, presenting a hodge-podge of permissible scientific ideas mixed with impermissible myth and religion, and threatening to resurrect the entire pre-1800 pre-scientific past of religion and folklore which America had just destroyed, of fascistic suddenness and violence, even after Shapley had gloated that "As rational practitioners . . . we deplore superstition- the last stronghold of the irrational. But, thanks to man's reasoning, never before has hampering superstition ...
