... , paddling their canoes across the Indian and Pacific Oceans in search of pearls! The physical type is marked by regular, almost European features, tall stature (averaging 5 ft. 10 ins.), light brown complexion, and straight, very black hair. They are generally good-natured, but lazy, the latter a tendency which some psychologists are disposed to attribute in some measure to racial exhaustion, as the Kanakas are a dying race. The only seeming explanation is the gradual and comparative frigidity of the climate. It is said that they numbered over a million at the time of their first contact with Europeans, and now do not exceed 150,000. As usual ...
652. Plato's Atlantis and Prehistoric Europe [Articles]
... into the coffin. Ash from Thera has been found in Late Minoan I a deposits, contemporary with the settlement on Thera, in both Crete and Rhodes. Yet Minoan Ia is succeeded, almost uneventfully, by settlements of the Ib period, so whatever damage the explosion did to Thera, life continued fairly normally on Crete, although the psychological effect of a few inches of raining ash and the sight of the explosion would certainly have been fairly traumatic. So what's left of the Minoan-Atlantis hypothesis? It might still be argued that even John Luce, one of the main proponents, was in his last publication on the subject, noticeably more cautious, even lukewarm. The main ...
653. Botanical Fantasies [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... the hipsithermal without all these required environmental conditions, they would still be growing and flowering there. The reason they do not and cannot grow and flower there now is that a pole shift changed all these necessary conditions for them to grow, flower and produce berries where they did a few to several thousand years ago. There is an old psychological saying about fantasy which goes as follows: "The only people without fantasies are found in the graveyard." All Mewhinney's work about fantasy indicates that he is certainly alive. Now why doesn't E. nigrum grow, flower and produce ripe seed on Spitsbergen today with the present tilt of the Earth's axis? Perhaps as some suggest plants ...
654. Pharaoh Seti the Great and His Foreign Connections [Journals] [Kronos]
... suspicious of any accounts of Egyptian military history which try to sell the impression that the pharaohs were simply egomaniacs intent upon the subjugation of all of their neighbors. We have good evidence that Alexander burned Tyre to the ground and wreaked havoc in the East without provocation. The idea was to win, and such wars were purely aggressive. This psychology cannot be ascribed to Seti, at least not without serious modification. No one familiar with the Middle East and its history can imagine for a moment that Egypt's "neighbors" were necessarily benign, or that the military strength of Egypt was merely the apparatus of a bully. On the other hand, one must admit that the head ...
655. The Social Impact of Velikovsky on our Generation [Articles]
... one must look into the void. "THE VOID?!" Western man declares, why there's nothing there. ' This is the most terrifying prospect for material man to envisage. For centuries we have codified laws, erected structures, systems, designed labyrinths to cushion us from the hint of nothingness. "The discoveries which philosophers and psychologists have made in recent years about the central importance of anxiety at the very core of our being, have quite a Buddhist ring about them. According to the views elaborated by Schiller, Freud, Heidigger and Jaspers, there is in the core of our being a basic anxiety, a little empty hole from which all other forms of ...
656. Holy Dreamtime [Books] [de Grazia books]
... of Tyrins and Knossos. The song, he knows, is the abbreviation of a long performance, and takes place in the halls of the prince. Indeed, such is the enthusiasm of Patroni for what he believes must have occurred in the opera-theater of the Love Affair that he uncovers ultimately the vast majority of criteria that for anthropologists and psychologists denote the Holy Dreamtime. And he forgets that he has for a moment faltered and said that the hierarchs could not allow a religious character to be granted the triumph of Aphrodite. He gives, actually, a full set of stage directions for the production of the Disastrous Love Affair of Mars and Moon. Dancers leap high into the ...
657. Forum [Journals] [SIS Review]
... glad to think that the world will one day achieve a messianic age, even though I do not live to see it. No one wants a disaster; but if a disaster brings, among ten thousand bitter ills, one good thing, is it complacency to acknowledge this and take advantage of it? And on the level of individual psychology: is it superficial or complacent to point out that all human maturation involves tragic loss, that of the Garden of Eden of infancy? Surely this very catastrophe is the subject of at least half of literature and art. I cannot see anything bland about the realisation that the deepest thing in human life is tragedy, and that great ...
658. Forum [Journals] [Aeon]
... ) worshipped celestial deities. Astral religion dominated society during this era of celestial instability, which I like to call the Astral Age. Many cuneiform documents tell of celestial prodigies and of calendars that diverge from the ones we have today. Evidently, information about the Astral Age was not forgotten or suppressed. On the contrary, there is no psychological distress evident in the recording of celestial events in the years before – 750, and Astral Age knowledge was remembered and understood during the following century. State Letters of Assyria ( -722 to -625), Astrological Reports to Assyrian Kings (most from the years – 679 to – 665) and Letters from Assyrian and Babylonian Scholars ( ...
659. Preface What is historical evidence? [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... say categorically that Jefferson had Sally for his concubine during thirty-eight years, a relationship that resulted in 4 Douglas Futuyma, Science on Trial: The Case for Evolution (NY 1983), pp. 168-170 Charles Ginenthal, Pillars of the Past 5 five children. The claim that Jefferson fathered these children is based to a considerable degree on so-called psychological evidence and the result purports to be psychohistory. ' . . . "Brodie and Chase-Riboud have described the charges as completely authentic. Their volumes were chosen by major book clubs and reprinted in paperback editions, with large sales and widespread publicity in the printed and electronic press. Furthermore, the allegations they have made have been accepted as ...
660. On Morrison: Some Final Remarks (Forum) [Journals] [Kronos]
... processes arising from the convection currents within the mantle of Venus are deemed to be more vigorous than that of Earth, exceeding the average terrestrial power spectrum by a factor of four. What this boils down to is that there is as much of a philosophical problem here as one in thermodynamics. Neither side seems to be able to afford the psychological luxury of admitting that the other might have a viable case. When I chatted briefly with Carl Sagan at NASA Ames last December, he apparently did not want to discuss the then ongoing events on Venus, preferring instead to attack Velikovsky's educated guesses on the character of Mars' atmosphere. But, last February, when I conversed with ...
