... the discovery of art treasures; the rediscovery of ancient inventions in the arts, sciences and social organization; the search for new power sources in electricity and nuclear fusion; sea bottom development; genetics; and institutional and political oversight-these are some of the areas where a revolutionary perspective may be turned to some use. The question of psychological therapy arises. The catastrophized quiddity of homo sapiens schizotypus raises a fundamental barrier to therapy. Human nature stands opposed to its own cure. Nevertheless, this immense challenge should be confronted by the development of a field of quantavolutional therapy. It would work upon the quantavolutional human model through psychiatry with the aim of draining the naturally provoked and ...
662. Variations on a Theme of Philolaos [Journals] [Kronos]
... see this increase. Why was it not visible from, say, the eastern Mediterranean? Perhaps these reports originally referred to Saturn, the Sun of Night. Even Artemidorus need not have been greatly exaggerating: the stretching of both lithosphere and atmosphere toward Saturn would by itself have exaggerated and enhanced the refraction effect (though there is also a psychological component in our impression of increased size near the horizon). Reports about Saturn must have been transferred to the Sun (just as was the o symbol). For a variety of such reasons, the Counter-Earth may have been frightening to humans (but not necessarily to animal life). I suggest that there was little or no ...
663. Chapter 16 Hittites ? Lydians [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... account regarding the Lydian-Hittite equation. For a general overview of the various elements that influenced Lydian/Hittite art and culture, see C.W . Ceram, The Secret of the Hittites (NY 1955), pp. 207-215. Statements such as "The Kingdom consisted not of a single Hittite nation, but of numerous peoples of diverse psychology. . ." (p . 208); "The nation was not united by a single language; in Boghazköy alone traces of eight . . . have been found. Of these four were widespread. The Hittite nation also had no unified script." (p . 209) "The Hittite Empire was not spiritually united ...
664. Venus and Mars [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , we can adduce some evidence from around the world of deep disturbances in the six spheres and of their interconnections in the holosphere. Ancient astronomers and writers appear to have had no difficulty in considering (or perhaps they were really reflecting upon) historic encounters governing the planets; yet we can observe in their own times the strengthening of three psychological defense mechanisms that made historical reconstruction involving quantavolution difficult: denial and suppression of memory, religious and literary sublimation, and abstract philosophy [114]. Modern cosmogonists, sternly trained in the principles of uniformitarianism and gradualism under a very long whip of time, are loath even to consider large-body departures from presently observed motions. And it is ...
665. Aphrodite Urania [Journals] [Aeon]
... was compared to a witch in ancient Norse lore as well. [131] It is precisely these terrible or "negative" images of the goddess which have proven to be so difficult to understand or discover in the natural world. [132] Not surprisingly, investigators have had little recourse but to attempt an explanation in terms of subjective psychological factors. Erich Neumann's analysis is typical in this regard: "The symbolism of the Terrible Mother draws its images predominantly from the inside'; that is to say, the negative elementary character of the Feminine expresses itself in fantastic and chimerical images that do not originate in the outside world. The reason for this is that the Terrible ...
666. Thoth Vol I, No. 7: March 23, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... seriously challenged of all were certain dogmas in the field of astronomy which had only in recent centuries succeeded in convincing mankind that Spaceship Earth was a haven of safety. The emotional outburst from the community of astronomers that so blackened the name Velikovsky and so successfully- if only temporarily- discredited Worlds in Collision has been laid to many causes, from the psychological and the political to simple resentment against invasion of the field by an outsider. Whatever the nature of such intensifying factors, however, I believe it is only fair to acknowledge an underlying and totally sincere scientific disbelief in the historical record. Perfectly valid dynamical theories valid in the sense of having met and passed every conceivable kind of test- ...
667. The Cosmic Winter by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Memory (of cosmic catastrophes) ' and Collective Amnesia' can, like Freud's Eros and Thanatos, be mixed in any proportions to explain' any attitude to violence, destruction, change and so on. Such a theory is non-falsifiable, so non-testable, so non-scientific. One little piece of Velikovsky's amnesia is worth mentioning. The most impressive psychological evidence was a dream reported (by a patient) to Jung detailing minutely a colliding-worlds catastrophe with Jupiter as the first cause - just as in Worlds in Collision. Velikovsky neglects to give the date of the dream, recorded by Jung: 27th May 1957, when Worlds in Collision was in its 12th impression! The cause of the ...
668. Darwin's Dangerous Idea: A Critique [Journals] [Aeon]
... and even Dennett himself admits that "Science, however, is not just a matter of making mistakes, but of making mistakes in public." [21] He might as well have added that experience teaches one to recognize a mistake when it is made again, particularly as something of a response to his ongoing and devastating criticisms of psychologist B.F . Skinner In another arena, Dennett directs us to the radio engineer turned linguist, Noam Chomsky, one of the founders of cognitive science, who called attention to language as one of the products of the human mind's innate and mysterious qualities. But, Dennett's special admiration for Chomsky as a fellow-critic of Skinner ends with ...
669. Thoth Vol I, No. 5: March 14, 1997 [Journals] [Thoth]
... assumed. If we temporarily regard myth and art as bearing the same level of usefulness as bones and rock, the expressions of those story tellers and artists carries more information than once thought. This documentary summarizes a very large and very important story. If the story proves to be true, its acceptance today will deeply impact astronomy, depth psychology, cultural anthropology and many other sciences. A consideration of the hypothesis will not only boost our planetary understanding but may also open a door for healing and integration within deep layers of the collective psyche. The pacing of the narrative is gradual and the visual effects serene at times. Very skillfully, the periods of quiet, the scenes ...
670. The Twin Tilts of the Spin Axes of Mars and Earth [Articles]
... word for Mars in Sanskrit is approximately "Arya". Thus it is that Mars in its Third Orbit created much pain and countless casualties for the human race. The pain and scars of Mars are gone, but the linguistic vestiges of that pain and scars remain in our language. Such is our eleventh piece of the quilt, as psychological scar rather than a physical scar. GENERAL GYROSCOPIC THEORY Gyroscopes have been studied in Germany since the early l800's pioneered by Bohnenberger, in England pioneered by Lang in the l830's and in France pioneered in the l850's by Foucault. To date, so far as we know, all gyros that have been studied have been "solid" gyros ...
