202. The Saturn Thesis (Part 3) [Journals] [Aeon]
... in fact, dominate the early layers of ancient symbolism. What I am urging is a systematic testing of the hypothesis by others, on whatever ground is most familiar to them. The model does work. It accounts for the most fundamental attributes of gods and heroes, and the farther back you go- the closer you get to the original experience- the more impressive is the accord. In contrast, not one of the commonly-stated attributes of gods and heroes, when explored in its explicit and most ancient contexts, answers to natural phenomena occurring today. In the ancient system, the planets interacted at extremely close range, and during the stable or quasi-stable phases of the configuration ...
203. Alternatives in Science: The Secular Creationism of Heribert Nilsson [Journals] [Kronos]
... hand: thesis/ antithesis. But where is the synthesis? In the future. Geneticist Michael White concludes his own important book on Modes of Speciation with a reference to Lewontin's italicized judgment, and he comments that this negative conclusion is "over-pessimistic" ( 1978: 324). But White also concedes that a positive book on the genetic origin of species probably cannot be written until "about the year 2000". By then, it will be 140 years since Darwin claimed in The Origin of Species to have provided the scientific solution to the problem. With geneticists discovering close chromosomal similarities between such diverse organisms as monotremes and mistletoe and little chromosomal similarity between such similar organisms as ...
... Thus for instance African techniques, so poor in appearance, like those of agriculture, weaving and smithing, have a rich, hidden content of significance . . . The sacrifice of a humble chicken, when accompanied by the necessary and effective ritual gestures, recalls in the thinking of those who have experienced it an understanding that is at once original and coherent of the origins and functioning of the universe. "The Africans," she continues, "with whom we have worked in the region of the Upper Niger have systems of signs which run into thousands, their own systems of astronomy and calendrical measurements, methods of calculation and extensive anatomical and physiological knowledge, as well as ...
205. Some 'New Chronology' Issues [Journals] [SIS Review]
... to hypothesise the equivalence of Esh' with Ish' ( 'Esh' then being a contracted form of Ish' = Man') if one were to uphold the suggested identification of Ish-ba'al with Mut-bahlu. But Brad's representation of the evidence is misleading. Although the Chronicler's rendering of the name as Esh-ba'al seems to some extent to recall the original form of this king's name, the Chronicler's tradition is late (Chronicles was edited no earlier than 500 BC) and cannot, to my view, be used as an argument against Ish-ba'al as having been the original form of the name of Saul's immediate successor. Indeed, I would suggest that Ish-ba'al rather than Esh-ba'al (the latter name ...
206. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The North [Books]
... said to be " a vessel which resembles a large wooden jar," but has only a very slight cavity (on the top) into which the soma juice is poured. (Note that chalice and paten would seem here to have changed names.) Graha and patra are as inseparable as cup and saucer are and were perhaps the original of our `cup-and-saucer. ' Graha also means a cupful of the soma. Again, there is both a patra (cup) and a sthali (bowl). Dr. Eggeling, gives all this doubtfully from Haug10 and doubtable it justly is, in its making the Graha into the mere saucer]. Graha, however, ...
207. On the Nature of Natural Selection and Speciation [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:3 (1988) Home | Issue Contents On the Nature of Natural Selection and Speciation James E. Strickling Heredity The modern science of genetics finds its origins in the work of Gregor Mendel (1822-1884), a monk who spent much of his life studying the common pea plant. For many years Mendel experimented with several contrasting pairs of clearly defined characteristics of this plant, searching for an understanding of heredity. In so doing, he sought traits that would be either clearly present or completely absent, realizing that if heredity were to be understood, a trait would have to be easily recognizable. His choices were color (red or white), ...
208. Night of the Gods: Polar Myths. The Pole Star [Books]
... under the heads of " The White Wall " and " Kronos and Ptah." The Maker in the Highest, (generally rendered ruler' or crowned'; but it belongs to accomplish, creo) is a common form of address to Zeus the son of Kronos in the Odyssey passim. The altars on high places to ZeusEpAkrios7 were originally on the summit of a mountain, and the title must here be explained from upon (Sanskrit api further)+ the extreme' of the heavens-mountain. EpAkria was founded by KekrOps, the Tail-Eye god, who falls into line here without a word of command. And we doubtless have the same Zeus in the two inscriptions which M ...

... scientist besides, learned in astrosophy, symbology, magic, number-lore, and many another quaint discipline of early learning. John tells, and tradition supports this statement, that he spent some time in the island of Patmos, `for the word of God', as he ambiguously says. Neither the English `for', nor the original Greek word, allows the establishment of the exact sense of this phrase: whether he went there, banished, `in consequence of his Christian faith, or whether he went there, a free man, `in order to get' new sacred knowledge. The latter conception leaves the possibility open that John may have visited an esoteric ...
210. The Erratic Descent of Man [Journals] [SIS Review]
... a tree-dwelling, fruit-eating animal, the males being distinctly larger than females (16-40kg). Its elbow, shoulder joints and feet were like a modern chimpanzee's, its wrist like a monkey's and its lumbar vertebrae like a gibbon's [24]. Proconsul fossils are well-known from sites in East Africa [15,16,24-27]. The origin of these first hominoids, the supposed ancestors of present-day apes and humans, is somewhat obscure, because sediments dating from the 10 Myr between Aegyptopithecus and Proconsul are very scarce in Africa [22]. However, there is then a more or less continuous record to about 13 Myr ago. About 17 Myr ago, the collision between ...
