... . Three forms of human awareness, the bicameral or god-run man; the modern or problem-solving man; and contemporary forms of throwbacks to bicamerality (e .g ., religious frenzy, hypnotism, and schizophrenia) are examined in terms of brain physiology and how it applies to human psychology, culture, and history. The Julian Jaynes Society ... and catastrophe only 3000 years ago and still developing. The implications of this new scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion- and indeed, our future.

492. Akhnaten, Aten, and Venus Reconsidered [Journals] [Pensee]
... of art, Franklin and Marshall College. I present here a new thesis pertaining to the worship of Aten by the heretic king, Akhnaten. Despite all the political and religious reasons given for that Pharaoh's dramatic shift from the worship of Amen and other gods, to the almost exclusive worship of Aten, there is still something elusive concerning the ... encroachment upon his throne by the priests of Amen in Thebes, he moved to Akhetaten, the new capital, and proclaimed the worship of Aten to be the new state religion. But the necessity of establishing an acceptable yet decisive alternative to Amen which would satisfy traditional needs and still be sufficiently innovative, remained.(2a) A syncretic ...

494. Bookshelf [Journals] [SIS Review]
... the sites possess only a "general orientation"; he is quite satisfied with his own explanation of the monuments as meeting-places for business and pleasure, with a dash of religious significance, organised by one or two of the brighter peasants. There is no space here to discuss the detailed evidence put forward by Dr MacKie, extending from the ... .75. Dr Lehmann's short book on the Hittites makes a useful introduction for non-specialists to that problematic people. Of particular note is a discursive account of the mythology and religion of the area which comes to the enlightened conclusion that much of the "cosmic bull" and serpent imagery derives from the ancients' experience of comets. The fact ...
495. Instability of Super Uranus [Books] [de Grazia books]
... . This was the first light and darkness experienced by humans, who may then have deduced the concept of contraries, good-bad, yin-yang, or light-darkness, the basis for religious dualism and human thinking processes. Relative time may have been invented in the period of Super Uranian instability. If the arc pulsed regularly, the earliest humans would have ... hovered over the water." as the editors of the Jerusalem Bible comment, most of these images are intended to describe how being may be created from Nothing. All religions, says Eliade (1954, p4) go back to the earliest times, illud tempus (" That Time") when the world was born and the initial ...

... , but also are somehow compelled by unconscious psychic forces to reenact the events-this idea is supported by our theory. It appears that the reenactment may take place through religious rites, through wars, through literature, through individual and group behavior of many kinds. Here it is through the sublimated medium of poetry and dance. I think ... a happy one. Human nature is imprinted by a deeply buried, unresting, and generalized great fear. The fear is reflected today and in the earliest human institutions of religion, politics, sex, schools, commerce, and war. I concluded in the end that the hundred lines of the Love Affair dramatize subconsciously the history of a ...
... do not apprehend as much." A veil of deep gloom had descended on the most ebullient of the writers of his generation. It was not a case of a religious believer losing his faith. H. G. Wells had been an atheist since youth. He did not see the end in the fashion of Michelangelo's Sistine fresco; ... the ages." I interrupt the quote to contemplate: inadvertently Wells has revealed that the great fear which took possession of him is as old in the human race as religion. It would only be expected that in the next sentence he would let surface the ancestral fear of a destroyer from cosmic places, for whom he had sought a ...
498. Velikovsky's Sources Volume Three [Books]
... ceremony of fire- walking in honour of the thunderbolt- god of the temple. Then, those under his inspiration would have entered a blazing fire in a state of religious exaltation, no doubt after due preparation - and perhaps a sacrifice. If there was such a fire- walking ceremony at Letopolis, those upon whom the power of ... to go by, would again appear to hark back to the time when Ishtar-Innana was an earth goddess. Thus on T& I.148 we read that in natural religion the serpent symbolised the mystic powers of the earth".
