... From: Kronos Vol. IV No. 1 (Fall 1978) Home | Issue Contents The Rare and Roasted Phoenix: A View of Claude Levi-Strauss Jack Pockman The disagreements of Velikovsky and his defenders with orthodox physical science are well known to the readers of KRONOS, as are the challenges to the Velikovskian conceptualization from the historical and archeological establishments. We may also agree that these challenges have been met on their own grounds with telling counter-arguments from the Velikovskian camp. Butz that the results over the years have not been commensurate with the solidity of Velikovsky's arguments is doubtless a tacit commentary on the nature of orthodoxies in general, and scientific orthodoxy in particular. Notwithstanding, there is ...
812. News C&C Review 2001:1 [Journals] [SIS Review]
... ) Home | Issue Contents Editor's Notes This issue of C&CR is a bumper edition after C&CR 2000 which included the Proceedings of the 1999 SIS Silver Jubilee Event. Moe Mandelkehr continues his series of articles about a worldwide catastrophe in 2300BC with an analysis of the geomagnetic effects. Laurence Dixon has taken a fresh look at the physics of Velikovsky's Worlds in Collision scenario and concludes that, contrary to previous analyses, there are no fundamental objections. Trevor Palmer and Steve Mitchell return to the question of whether centuries can be removed from the medieval Dark Ages and find fundamental problems with the proposals of Niemitz and Fomenko. Bob Johnson's analysis of Mayan calendars looks at the curiosity ...
813. The Milky Way [Journals] [Aeon]
... possible. Eliade's summary of these rites is as follows: "If we try to achieve a general view of all the myths and rites just briefly reviewed, we are struck by the fact that they have a dominant idea in common: communication between heaven and earth can be brought about- or could be in illo tempore- by some physical means (rainbow, bridge, stairs, ladder, vine, cord, chain of arrows', mountain, etc., etc.). All of these symbolic images of the connection between heaven and earth are merely variants of the World Tree or the axis mundi." (97) The Polar Configuration Readers of this journal ...
814. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... all along: write an autobiography. Issue No. 4 of Kronos has appeared since the last Review , and will make a valuable addition to the bookshelf of anyone interested in the theories of Velikovsky. The contents of this number range wide over ancient history, archaeology, psychology, astrophysics and a general consideration of the nature of geological and physical science. Particularly valuable are the second part of Eva Danielus' paper on Velikovsky's identification of Hatshepsut and the Queen of Sheba, as supported by the archaeological evidence; "The Origins of Modern Geological Theory" by George Grinnell, which may prove to be an eye-opener for those who believe the doctrine of uniformity to be derived entirely from ...
815. Heretics, Dogmatists and Science's Reception of New Ideas (Part 3) [Journals] [Kronos]
... attain its present orbit so quickly [6 ]. (157) Gardner's mind-set is apparent from the following excerpts: Consider the curious case of Immanuel Velikovsky, whose books are closely linked to the fundamentalist revival. A devout believer in orthodox Judaism, Dr. Velikovsky . . . set himself the task of revising the laws of astronomy and physics, and rewriting vast globs of ancient history.... Macmillan's lavish advertising for [Worlds in Collision] made no secret of how the book supported the historicity of Old Testament miracles. There is no question that the book would never have found a major publisher, would never have become a bestseller, had it not had a ...
816. Remembering Velikovsky [Journals] [Aeon]
... that we had entered the Age of Kafka. To those deeply familiar with the scope and quality of Immanuel Velikovsky's achievements, however, the prediction is neither absurd nor a joke. What, instead, seems awesome is the degree to which Velikovsky's work appears to have been successfully ridiculed and denied by mainstream establishment over three generations, while the physical evidence in its support continues to pile up relentlessly. I became acquainted with Velikovsky's work in 1969 while I was still a young student at Exeter College, Oxford, through my friend, David Cohen, at that time a freshman at Oriel College, who had himself been introduced to it by Rabbi Sidney Leperer, the Jewish student chaplain ...
817. The Origin of Language [Journals] [Aeon]
... ". .. it has been shown time and again that a child learns to speak the language of those who bring him up from infancy. In most cases these are his biological parents, especially his mother, but one's first language is acquired from environment and learning, not from physiological inheritance. Adopted infants, whatever their race or physical type, and whatever the language of their actual parents, acquire the language of the adoptive parents who raise them just as if they had been their own children." (9 ) "THEORIES" OF THE ORIGIN OF LANGUAGE Mario Pei tells us that: "If there is one thing on which all linguists are fully agreed, ...
818. The Cosmic String of Pearls [Journals] [Aeon]
... The string of pearls is invariably associated with the morphology and mythology of the world axis, constituting the segmented phase of the axis. Sometimes the beads or pearls are juxtaposed with the axis: they sit within a tree, climb a mountain, or hang down a rope symbolic of the axis. At other times, the beads or pearls physically constitute the axis itself. The String And The Tree The tree is perhaps the best-known symbol of the polar axis. What is less known is that this same world tree is frequently peopled by a group of gods, souls, animals, or human beings, stacked one upon another. In the north of South-America it is believed that ...
819. Bedlam's Basement. Ch.6 Dreams And Hallucinations (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Bedlam's Basement I have repeatedly heard and occasionally read that in the hallucinogenic state produced by peyote and other such drugs violent sensations of impending doom, of cosmic encounters, of ensuing pandemonium, overcome the novice or the habitual user. The vividness of the experience and the terror it evokes cause such physical phenomena as runaway heartbeat, shivering and excessive sweating. By no means does such a state always result from intake; it is claimed by those who have studied the matter that only when, under the influence of the drug, a very deep stratum of the subconscious is reached does the terror that lives in every one of us come ...
820. Contents: Ages in Chaos by Immanuel Velikovsky [Books]
... of Congress Card Number: 52-5224 Dust Cover Published in April of 1950, Immanuel Velikovsky's first epoch-making book, Worlds In Collision, created a furore all over the world. Now, in Ages In Chaos, he presents another aspect of his startling theory - a unique and radical revision of ancient history. Taking for his starting point the simultaneous physical catastrophes described in the book of Exodus and in Egyptian documents, Dr. Velikovsky reconstructs the political and cultural histories of the nations of the ancient world. His reconstruction poses the question-Are six hundred years missing in Israel's history, or have six hundred ghost years crept into Egyptian history? Documents are collated for each generation over twelve ...
