362. Sun 13 July Abstracts [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... recurrence of celestial disturbances in the recent past. By insisting that world-destructions occurred only in vast cycles of time (such as a "great year" whose winter solstice was Deluge and summer solstice Conflagration) the Milesian School was schematically distorting memories of recent disturbances, and its activity may be seen as part of a general pattern of oblivion and psychological distancing common to all cultures after the end of the Bronze Age catastrophes. But by insisting that these world-destructions occurred only as the result of unalterable elemental processes, it was also erecting a proto-scientific bulwark against apocalyptic thinking and behavior. 11:00 Prof David W. Pankenier, Lehigh University Heaven-sent: Understanding Disaster In Chinese Myth And Tradition ...

364. Natural Disasters Trigger Hysteria & Panic in Italy [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... at the same time - almost knocked out of the finals for next year's World Cup in France, the disaster(s ) can prove to be a very traumatic experience which can trigger collective hysteria and/or apocalyptic responses. These activities stem from the desire of communities struck by disaster to influence and pacify the agents of destruction and to psychologically work off apocalyptic tension by preparing oneself for the final blow, world's end. Furthermore, expressive and in many cases extremist and violent responses (which are often symptomatic for apocalyptic movements) are triggered by collective anger and tension following such catastrophes. Throughout history, outbreaks of end-time panic have been based on ancient texts reporting about past or ...

366. Jaynes anyone? [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... throughout the human race- a collective subconscious mind. This concept he got from Carl Jung who, traveling around the world, saw common human characteristics and behavior modes from one culture to another. Rather than simply conclude that all humans are basically alike or similar, Jung- heavily influenced by Hinduism- postulated the collective subconscious mind. A psychologist friend of mine pointed out the link to Hinduism and told me that, if I read up on Hinduism, I would understand Carl Jung. He was right. For my money, the entire concept of a collective subconsious mind, and collective amnesia, is nothing more than seeking complicated, exotic explanations for the purely simple. From ...
367. Saturnists Play Marbles [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... a relentless urge to HONOR the archetypes in a time when the events and celestial forms associated with them were no longer present. Of this collective urge, storytelling was only a small part. Of course, in the transmission of the stories over the centuries, there is not just a progressive degradation of the original integrity, but a natural psychological effect of distance and unfamiliarity. The gravity of the experience could only be diminished with time. And the meaning of the story elements would increasingly appear irrational or out of place, finding no explanation in natural experience. That is, of course, the reason why, with the rise of Greek rationalism, the mythical themes of tragedy ...

... a short time to accept (penicillin was left on Alexander Fleming's shelf for several years after its discovery in 1922, and used in the Second World War). Big changes concern a large paradigm shift. The Electric Universe is a major change in paradigm. There are many reasons why people find it hard to accept new ideas, including psychological and emotional causes such as the possible humiliation experienced by mainstream scientists who suddenly find their life's work is wrong, or, if they have to consider a new paradigm, may have to risk the loss of the job, existing friends and even family. Flaws in the educational system give a false aura of authority, where there is ...
