... resources with the treasures of her priceless wisdom and has inspired me to rise above the bondage of materialism into that paradise of promise, the happy fields of Aahen-Ru. My great desire is that all who read this book may be similarly inspired to look above and to love the Great Cosmic Mother and her children, the Luminaries, the stately Planets and the brilliant Stars. <Illustration: The Celestial Ship of the North> FOREWORD Age after age the Great Architect of the Universe has sent his messengers in many lands to make plain to man that the laws under which life spiritual and temporal evolves have been the same from the foundation of the world and are but the reactions of ...
122. Velikovsky & Saturnists & the Gods [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the Gods From: Tim Thompson, tim@uzon.jpl.nasa.gov Date: 23 Sep 1995 23:51:56 GMT Ian Tresman writes:[ .. . ] > Why identify a god with what appears to be an > insignificant point of light in the sky.. unless there were > times when they planets where not as insignificant as they > are now. This one point strikes to the very heart of Velikovskian thinking, and is the major motivation for the Saturn Myth. These notions absolutely require that the behaviour of the gods as described in myth precisely reconstruct the true dynamic behaviour of the celestial objects associated with them. However, the ...
123. Electricity Absent from Sagan's Astrophysics [Journals] [Pensee]
... matters involving Newtonian dynamics and the laws of conservation of energy and angular momentum are of first importance in evaluating any hypothesis concerning celestial affairs, while "questions on the nature of planetary surfaces, atmospheres and interiors are on not as good a footing." This seems a fair appraisal, although of course realities that emerge from direct explorations of planets must be accommodated by any law of physics that is to remain valid. And Newtonian dynamics must be understood to embrace the interplay of electrical and electromagnetic as well as gravitational and inertial forces. On this basis, I would generalize and rank Sagan's physical arguments against Worlds in Collision as follows: 1) The energy required to expel a ...
124. 18 possible planets lacking a star [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... From: SIS Internet Digest 2000:2 (Dec 2000) Home | Issue Contents 18 possible planets lacking a star www.eurekalert.org/releases/aaas-epp092900.html 5 October 2000. 18 possible planets lacking a central star discovered by Science researchers. Scientists have discovered 18 planet-like objects, drifting free of any central star, in a region of the Orion constellation. If the young, cool bodies are in fact planets, these free floaters may pose a considerable challenge to current theories about how planets form. Researchers report their find in the 6 October issue of the international journal, Science. "The formation of young, free-floating, planetary-mass objects like these are ...
125. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Six [Books]
... almost in passing, between an account of the execution of a certain Loung- peng, and an account of various battles and skirmishes involving the Kounn-ou. The section of text referring to the prodigy reads as follows (translation by P. Hyde): "At this time two suns could be seen fighting in the sky. The five planets were shaken by strange movements. Part of Mount T'ai-chan collapsed. The river Lao ran dry. The barbarians invaded the Wed valley." This does not differ significantly from V's translation of the same on WIC p.247: "At this time the two suns were seen to battle in the sky. Unusual movements agitated the five ...
126. Sky Woman [Journals] [Aeon]
... Aphrodite. [9 ] With reference to the traditions surrounding Phaethon and Phaon, Nagy observes that "there seems to be, a priori, a naturalistic element in these myths." [10] Indeed, Nagy goes on to argue that Aphrodite's interactions with the two heroes can best be understood by reference to the stereotypical behavior of the planet Venus. Phaon and Phaethon he would interpret as personifications of the descending sun. Thus, with respect to Hesiod's description of the relationship of Aphrodite and Phaethon in the Theogony, Nagy writes as follows: Aphrodite with one of her emblems, the dove, flanked by Erotes. From a bronze support for a mirror- c. 480 ...
127. Aphrodite Urania [Journals] [Aeon]
... the unconscious, [6 ] etc. Yet none of these theories has gained general acceptance, primarily because none can account for more than a select handful of the goddess' various functions and attributes, much less explain the myriad of peculiar details attending her myth and cult. In our opinion, it is the goddess' identification with the planet Venus- attested in numerous cultures from the ancient Near East, but also among aboriginal peoples of the New World- which offers the elusive common denominator necessary to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the goddess' mythical attributes. In this series of essays, we intend to show that the majority of the symbolic images and mythological themes associated with ...
128. Ejections, Resonances, and Inversions [Journals] [Kronos]
... . I wrote: "A word of caution is due here. What I did supply [in lieu of an alternative origin] was an alternative parentage for Venus - which is not the same thing. In view of what I have already stated concerning divine births, let me emphasize that I have nowhere proposed an actual ejection of the planet Venus from Saturn. Although such an ejection remains a possibility, the message of myth in this instance is not quite clear. As I also stated at San Jose, and as far as I am concerned, the origin and early history of the planet Venus still remains shrouded in mystery."(5 ) Since I had hoped ...
129. The Poem of Erra [Journals] [Aeon]
... previous essay we presented the outlines of a comprehensive theory of the mythology of the hero. We began our investigation by comparing Heracles, the greatest of Greek heroes, with Gilgamesh, the most famous of Oriental heroes. Evidence gathered from ancient chroniclers, myth, and cult, indicates that Heracles and Gilgamesh were in reality but personifications of the planet Mars, and their mythological careers a commemoration of cataclysms associated with that planet. (1 ) In the present essay we shall continue this line of investigation by considering the Akkadian Erra, the bellicose hero of the Poem of Erra. One of the most remarkable documents which has come down to us from ancient times, the Poem of ...
130. Sword-God, Part 2 Mars Ch.4 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Sword-God IN BABYLON OF the eighth century the planet Mars became a great and feared god, to whom many prayers were composed and hymns and invocations were sung and magic formulas were whispered. Such formulas are referred to as "magic words with raising the hand to the planet Nergal [Mars]." These prayers were addressed directly to the planet Mars.1 Like the Greek Ares, Nergal is called "king of battle, who brings the defeat, who brings the victory." Nergal could not be regarded as favouring the people of the Double Streams; on a most fateful ...
