... of Velikovsky's work as an interdisciplinary scholar easily overwhelms a reader. We do not here pretend to offer more than a fragmentary look at that work. Velikovsky's opus magnum, Ages in Chaos, is not even discussed. . ." Nor was it discussed, except as a footnote, in the next two issues, which focused largely on physical and astronomical matters. But in this our fourth issue (and in the fifth as well) we come face to face with pharaohs and papyri, king lists and chronologies. We begin- and properly so- with a look at some of the basic tools of the ancient historians, and at the assumptions they employ in utilizing those tools. ...
782. Mother Goddess and Warrior-Hero (Part One) [Journals] [Aeon]
... - the central sun and creator who originally stood "alone" in the sky- that planet is the logical focus of any attempt to present the configuration. At the same time this can be misleading, by suggesting that the other planetary gods have only minor roles, which is not the case at all. With the growing speculation on physical models of the polar configuration, an adequate summary of the planetary myths involved becomes increasingly vital. Apart from the Earth, four presently-visible planets have a place in the model of the polar configuration as I have defined it, though their relative positions change significantly with the evolution of the configuration. The planets are: Saturn, Jupiter, ...
783. Thoth Vol III, No. 12: Aug 31, 1999 [Journals] [Thoth]
... Budge) HAVE linked Osiris to Jupiter. The line of reasoning is really much more fundamental and based on world patterns which do not seem to allow for any other identification. Who could deny that the best-known Jupiter figures are "born" from Saturn- figures, and are seen as the younger and triumphant forms of the father. Possible physical explanations for the sequence may vary, but I do not see how the fundamental paternal relationship could be denied. And in ancient myth, the idea "to be born from" is a very literal idea, one certainly not suggestive of a personality arriving from elsewhere in the sky. The seeming paradox is actually the key. Are ...
784. Could an Explosive Volcanic Eruption be Produced by the Nearby Passage of a Cosmic Body? [Journals] [SIS Review]
... tons per day - in addition to 100,000 tons of lava" [8 ]. Though Paracutin enabled the birth of a new volcano to be observed from the surface, what was going on below ground is not known for sure and can only be surmised. We know that subterranean instability has to be relieved by the most practical physical means. It is likely that hot magma, driven by expansion of its own volatiles and the pressure of the overburden, will follow weaknesses caused by faulting and ruptures in the underlying geological strata, and literally melt its way to the surface. We do not know what triggered the eruption of Paracutin in February 1943; but we can ...
785. Ethics and the Supernatural [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . Nonetheless, all humans behave morally and always have. By moral behavior we mean acting one way rather than another because, among other reasons, one feels that it is right and good, and that not acting that way would be wrong and bad. This "feeling" is a "real" thing, physiologically compelling, with physical disturbance and mental states called frustration, indignation, anger, humiliation, and anxiety if the moral act is not performed and euphoria, satisfaction, and physical and mental relaxation if it is performed. The easiest way to "solve" the moral question is to deny it, that is, to assert that people feel moral or immoral ...

787. The Origami of Species [Journals] [Kronos]
... One can appreciate the difficulties by attempting some of the more complicated patterns, where the paper convolutions almost seem to vanish within themselves in mobius-like fashion. In somewhat the same way, the genetic structure of biological organisms exhibits a conformation that appears to be, fundamentally, a three-dimensional geometric pattern- with its chemical properties as a natural outgrowth of the physical topology. Any changes in the molecular bits and pieces can radically affect the geometry, and this in turn would affect the chemistry through changes in molecular interactions. These changes which give rise to mutations are known to be caused by thermal, radiational, or chemical agents, but there is one additional agency which has not been explored in ...
788. 2nd SIS Cambridge Conference Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... objects from a variety of sources ranging from long-period comets to the main asteroid belt. Recent dynamical results show that the orbits are chaotic, and that comets may in principle evolve into orbits similar to those of objects usually classified as asteroids (and vice-versa), and that comets and asteroids may resemble one another depending on the phase of their physical evolution and heliocentric distance. This paper reviews progress towards understanding the nature of the NEO population, particularly whether the source flux is principally cometary or asteroidal, and assesses the question of probable time-dependence in the flux and size distribution of the impacting objects. Evidence for impacts in the astronomically recent past and of historical variations in the NEO population ...
789. The Levites and the Revolts [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Hebrews had their rumored conflicts. The 60,000 who arrived at Pi-ha-khiroth near the frontier would include more warriors than is typical of a tribal migration. Many would have left their families. Men of working age would be the most anxious to leave. But when the pursuing Egyptian army was espied, many, especially of the Egyptians and physically weaker elements, would have deserted and fled to all quarters during the long bright night. A drop of some 10,000 persons would be expected at this critical point. Next came the crossing. Here the legends, as well as logic, would dictate another serious loss, perhaps another 10,000.[5 ] The ...
790. Velikovsky in Shakespeare [Articles]
... . This pattern of images reinforces the sense of dissolution by perpetual movement between conflicting opposites that is so important a part of the structure.[20] Antony, wavering between solid Rome and fluid, changing Egypt, cannot keep his integrity whole, and so he melts. Antony compares his sense of his own existence - even of his physical existence - to the tenuous stability of clouds drifting into clouds, and finally water mingling with water .. . . ln the phrase the rack dislimns, (Arden editor: the drifting clouds efface') similarities of sound suggest that he is undergoing almost a physical disintegratin as a result of torture - being torn limb from limb on ...
