... seems to have completely overshadowed even the growing appearance of the Sun as this loomed closer. I'm not able to say how long it would have taken for the Saturnian configuration to have had the lasting influence it has had on the human psyche. I have tried to visualize the apparition in the sky, and I think it would have been psychologically overwhelming and disturbing. I imagine that all it would have taken would have been one generation of exposure to that sky for it all to become "imprinted" on mankind. Also, if there were only a small number of survivors, I don't see how a prolonged exposure would have made any difference. Proto-Saturn must have entered the ...
682. Afterword [Journals] [Kronos]
... I assume that calculation would show that the planet must have been largely incandescent only thirty-four centuries ago. (5 ) Such research would lead to the result that Venus is a newcomer (what its name in Latin also means). The grace with which the figures of various observers, through decades, were left without being tabulated is a psychological phenomenon- the preference "not to know", if the knowledge threatens to convey a firm basis to an iconoclastic concept. Sagan calculated that a chance of one against 30,000 was needed in order to make Venus hit the Earth in any given millennium, and to produce a series of collisions the chance is one against 1027, ...
683. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Four [Books]
... fairly quickly point out that Shakespeare actually mentioned the colour green more often than he did yellow. But then in steps the second part of my hypothesis to save the day: all these other colours are merely Shakespeare's way of hiding' from his obsession with yellow. Their presence really proves nothing at all beyond the effectiveness of the Bard's elaborate psychological front'. The relevance of my dual- hypothesis to the V debate is clear. I think V's planetary catastrophism parallels the first part of my hypothesis, and his concept of collective amnesia the second. But I wonder how many Velikovskians will seriously entertain my jaundiced' view of Shakespeare, and how many of then will turn round ...

... decision as to values and desirability is rightly made by the wider society. But such decisions have nothing to do with what is plausible, worthwhile, or true from the standpoint of a given intellectual discipline. That official slavery and racial discrimination exist in some parts of the world has no necessary relation to the consensus of specialists in anthropology and psychology about purported racial characteristics and heredity; even in a world free of all racial discrimination those specialists might nevertheless conclude that some groups of people are by heredity different from others. Political intervention may, for a time, determine what specialists say in public and even to some extent what they are predisposed to believe, but in the long ...
... has been taken over by a guild of dedicated, highly specialized philologists who have had to reconstruct the dictionaries and grammars of these languages. It would be bad grace to dismiss their efforts, but one must take into account several layers of error: (1 ) personal or systematic errors, arising from their preconceptions and from well-implanted prejudices (psychological and philosophical) of their age; (2 ) the very structure of our own language, of the architecture of our own verbal system, of which very few individuals are aware. There was once a splendid article by Irwin Schroedinger, with the title "Are there quantum jumps?" whilch laid bare many such misunderstandings inside the ...
... angekoks or to a "technique of induced ecstasy," or to derive such phenomena from the Asiatic North where, undeniably, this particular kind of queerness is fostered. "Shaman" is a Tungusian word. Shamanism has its epicenter in Ural-Altaic Asia, but it is a very complex phenomenon of culture 122 which can be explained neither by psychologists nor by sociologists, but only by way of historical ethnology. To put it in a few words, a shaman is elected by spirits, meaning that he cannot choose his profession. Epileptics and mentally unhinged persons are obvious privileged candidates. Once elected, the future shaman goes to "school" Older shamans teach him his trade, ...
... rebellion and the withdrawal of the slaves from Egypt. No reference has been found that could be interpreted as even hinting at an exodus during the interregnum between the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Dynasties, and only the fact that the situation was such as to make an exodus possible favors this hypothesis. This idea found its way into the work of a psychologist who, following in the footsteps of certain historians,18 tried to show that Moses was an Egyptian prince, a pupil of Akhnaton; that Akhnaton was the founder of monotheistic idealism, that when Akhnaton ceased to rule and his schism fell into disfavor, Moses preserved his teachings by bringing them to the slaves, with whom he left ...

... than is afforded by diseases alone. If certain chemical formulae in the shape of germs can influence the blood, who will deny the possibility that other forms may affect the mind? Man, the highest creation, is himself a modification of cosmic elements, a composite of cosmic forces seen and unseen. His intelligence consists of a highly sensitive psychological series of chords, which must respond to certain attractive forces, producing instinctive effects, such as joy or anger, love or hate, pity or cruelty, gaiety or gloom. It is a phenomenon to be witnessed commonly in regard to thunder in the air, which reacts on some people to such a degree that they are prostrated ...

... , and gone back to set in the east. Such a passage can best be considered in conjunction with the previously quoted stories of Isaiah and the sundial of king Hezekiah, and the information given to Herodotus. The Greeks and Romans, and other early ancient writers who dealt with the problem, first described these happenings as historical facts. Psychological interpretations and rational explanations came later. Iliad XII:442 ff.: Hector storms the Argive wall. Helped by Zeus, he picks up a huge rock and breaks the gates. Line 462: Shining Hector rushes in, his face looking like swift night. He shines like grim bronze. His eyes flash fire. IV: ...
