... heresy. The usual abstracting services are strangely silent. Between the years 1905 and 1930 the doctrines of relativity and of n-dimensional and non-Euclidean geometries had a "good press." The theory was publicized by the most astute, adroit application of subtle "soft sell" techniques ever to be devised. Modern day advertising executives could learn much of psychology in studying the showmanship by which persons in high and influential places were favorably impressed, how the general public was "educated," how scientists were swayed by the "fads" of the day. Relativity, the New Science, became the rage of the intelligentsia, the "smart" drawing-room set. Further, to bolster the ...
222. Catastrophe and Divine Fires [Books] [de Grazia books]
... ; then, rather than gradually becoming adjusted to the memory, the mind is committed to the suppression by priests and ritual. And it never can adjust to the reality of recollection, and hence never can accommodate to the reality of the present. This mental condition is bound up with the invisible god and is a large factor in the psychological operations of mosaism and Yahwism. If the mental process were to be divided into phases, in the first phase a perception occurred: the sight and force is then accorded life, that is, anthropomorphization. The reality of the comet passes and the memory remains, but not a memory of a comet as such; rather the memory ...

225. The Heavenly Host [Books] [de Grazia books]
... methods of dealing with them, can a human act out the plot of the gods and be called god-names. Once the process is begun, however, it has no end of sublimated ramifications until the gods are treated cavalierly and even de-sacralized-until the next catastrophic event. Campbell joins himself to the psychoanalytic school that regards gods as non-existent psychological means for the human to jump beyond the ordinary world into the imaginary world; "gods are only convenient means to the ineffable." They, and myth, help the mind to transcend phenomena and achieve the great void or openness of spirit. Although this theory is functionally true, it is very limited, and without realization of ...
226. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... of the starry night sky, for the equivalent of the inner world can only be in the outer world; and just as I experience this world through the medium of the body, so I experience that other world through the medium of the soul." C G. Jung* [* J. Jacobi (ed.): Psychological Reflections: An Anthology of the Writings of C. G. Jung (New York, 1954), p. 38.] Jung, in 1930, musing upon the potent yet obscure primal images which haunt the human psyche, finds his own mind prompting him with the image of "the starry night sky". If the ...
227. Maimonides And Spinoza, The Exegetes, Part 2 Mars Ch.1 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... have come into the hands of only a few scholars; likewise the papyri of Egypt and the clay tablets of the Assyrians. But the Book of Isaiah and other books of the Scriptures have been read by millions during the centuries in hundreds of languages. Is the way in which Isaiah expressed himself obscure? It is a kind of collective psychological blind spot which prevents the understanding of the clearly revealed and scores-of-times-repeated description of astronomical, geological, and meteorological phenomena. The description was thought to be a peculiar kind of poetic metaphor, a flowery manner of expression. Even a modest attempt to review the various commentaries on Isaiah would burst the frame of a book larger than this one ...
228. The Ultimate Catastrophe? [Journals] [Kronos]
... . Nevertheless, the current widespread interest in all aspects of nuclear safety, resulting from the projected all-out expansion of nuclear power plants, has caused various individuals to reconsider the possibility that nuclear catastrophes could accidentally occur. This writer discussed the question in 1974(1 ) while Greenberg and Sizemore have examined aspects of nuclear safety as well as the psychological and moral problems engendered by developments in nuclear science between 1945 and 1975.(2 ) The scientific community paid little attention to these writings, however. Yet, when this writer published a paper, "The Ultimate Catastrophe,"(3 ) in a journal which has wide circulation among scientists, and because this piece was publicized ...

... From "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Mind's Frontiers The human mind is the least known territory, though through it man has obtained the entire sum of his experience and knowledge. Tests are made, IQs evaluated, psychological theories are written, psychotherapies are practiced, the action of drugs on the sensorium and behavior are studied, sex hormones are explored, the inner secretions of the pituitary gland are examined, brains are dissected, experiments on animals are made- and many discoveries are registered. But after all the efforts, some cardinal issues are as much in darkness now as they were thousands of years ago. Are all ...

... myself about the last pages of the Epilogue, set and proofread: whether to include them in, or omit them from, the book. They dealt with celestial mechanics. In the Epilogue I discussed the problems solved and the new problems that presented themselves in the fields of history and chronology, Bible criticism, development of religion, mass psychology, geology, paleontology, astronomy, and physics. I wrote: Having discovered some historical facts and having solved a few problems, we are faced with more problems in almost all fields of science.... Barriers between sciences serve to create the belief in a scientist in any particular field that other scientific fields are free from ...
