... organism like a slab of fat or a quart of blood. Presently, a fear-bank is a fear-capacity, that is: a capacity of a system to respond chemically and behaviorally faster, more intensively, and more extensively to a fear-producing stimulus, plus a corresponding capacity to perceive fear-stimulating events in the environment ever more finely. The response is physically connected with objects identified by the person as the same or similar. But the identifications are not easy and automatic. The logic is not according to a rational "is" but is experiential. One proceeds analogically and culturally. One is subject to the categories of mind, gland, and anatomy in general in matching a personal historical ...
672. Antiquated Textbooks: Redesigning the Solar System [Journals] [Aeon]
... no less an authority than Zdenek Kopal who wrote: "Books written about the solar system before the advent of the space age could as well have been written in Latin or Greek, so dated do they appear to a contemporary reader." [2 ] Or, as Gerrit Verschuur pronounced in 1981: "If we look at the physical Universe the way astronomers do, we may never really know anything about it. "The recent U.S . planetary probes revealed a shocking paucity of real knowledge about the contents of the cosmos." [3 ] I would, however, like to come to grips with Willy Ley because, as one of Velikovsky's old detractors ...
673. Fingerprints of the Gods: do ancient relicts point to an advanced civilisation 15,000 years ago? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the memory banks of mankind in that area by the Spaniards, thus depriving us of all clear records of what went on there. Nevertheless this phenomenon of human sacrifice interests me because the name for it in Central America was p'achi which means to open the mouth'. In the ceremony a high priest and four assistants participated. A hard physical blow was struck to the body of the sacrificial victim, and it was believed that his soul would rise up to the heavens and become a star in the sky. Curiously enough in ancient Egypt there was a very similar ceremony. It was called the ceremony of the opening of the mouth'. It was not connected with human ...
674. Venus Hothouse - The Other Theory [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the surface area, and the specific heat - all are inextricably functions of the problem. This says nothing about whether or not Venus was actually molten 3,500 years ago; nor does the theory prove that the planet was at any given temperature at that time, but only that the known thermal history of Venus is consistent with this physically sound hypothesis. According to Talbott, there are just three uncomplicated assumptions: Venusian internal heat is dominated by what amounts to "forced" convection, as when hot fluid magma in turbulent motion is circulated throughout the body and to its surface as lava. Venusian external heat transfer is by radiation (in conformity with the well-known Stefan-Boltzmann law ...
675. Worlds In Collision And Recent Finds In Astronomy. Ch.17 Supplement (Earth In Upheaval) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Earth in Upheaval]
... He emphasizes that, by casting off the exploded matter, planets must have changed their own masses and consequently their orbits. They must also have experienced recoils. In the Publications of the Kiev Observatory for 1953, Vschsviatsky says: "The history of the planetary system was characterized, we assume, by definitely more rapid changes and more active physical processes than appeared when only gravitational interrelations in the solar system were taken into account."1 All this is in complete harmony with the conclusions at which I arrived in Worlds in Collision concerning the time (a few thousand years ago) of the birth of comets of short periods and their origin (by eruption from the planets, ...
676. Thoth Vol I, No. 5: March 14, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... compelled to watch the video a second time, then a third. With each viewing, I gained a greater appreciation for the utter enormity of the topic and the deceptively large amount of information presented. If David Talbott is correct, the common themes of myth that have been told and re-told by all cultures of the world point to actual physical events, global events. Deep in our collective memory, beneath conscious awareness for most of us living today, we remember the golden time with nostalgia and longing. We remember doomsday with dread. In a consistent way, these deep memories have erupted into form through the arts, through stories and through cultural ritual. According to this ...
677. Metals, Salt and Oil [Books] [de Grazia books]
... down there. It seems that ores are found in a highly confused and diversified state that does not let one assume any neat intrusion of pure metal. Nor even is the intrusiveness manifest; the term seems to define itself, as simply something differing from its surroundings, not a clean belt or stratum, but as a conglomerate chemically, physically, and morphologically. Ore is the valued part of minerals, including metals. The modern processes used to isolate ore are imitations of nature. Crushing is first, where the pressures and grinding of water, wind, and rock movements are emulated. Mineral separation follows. Minerals of different sizes are shaken through sieves. A hydrocyclone may ...
678. Interviewing Immanuel Velikovsky: An Introduction [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... final volume of the series where volumes in between are still to go. NICHOL: Okay, Dr. Velikovsky, we are talking about the effect on man's racial psyche by catastrophes, how he can deal with this. How is he going to deal with this? VELIKOVSKY: First, you establish that traumatic experience, whether of a physical or of a psychological kind, very often leads to amnesia and that the task of the analysis is to bring the trauma back into the conscious mind. Later in his life, Freud came to the next step in this thought, namely, that a man is only repeating what humankind [already lived]...repetition in ...

... the belief. To be continued Editor's Note: The Saturn Theory is one which relies on information from many fields, each adding a few ounces to the weight of evidence. In the first two parts of this paper, Cardona has presented a small fraction of the mytho-historical evidence. In the next sections, he will discuss some of the physical evidence. For some of the symbolic evidence, see Ev Cochrane's article at: http://www.ames.net/aeon/Rock_Art/rock_art.html For more about the linguistic evidence, see Dave Talbott's articles, HOW CATASTROPHIC EVENTS GENERATE LANGUAGE, and THE MYTHIC ROOTS OF LANGUAGE in THOTH III-14 ...
680. Sagan's Folly Part 1 [Journals] [Kronos]
... , originating with one people, had spread around the world, and consequently there is no proof of the authenticity of the event related. But just because one and the same event is embodied in traditions that are very different indeed, its authenticity becomes highly probable, especially if the records of history, ancient charts, sundials, and the physical evidence of natural history testify to the same effect" (p . 308; see also "The Subjective Interpretation of the Events and Their Authenticity"). Sagan (p . 12): "Velikovsky even goes so far as to believe that a close approach to the Earth by the planet Mars so distorted it that it took ...
