... during past global cataclysms experienced by mankind. The fourth paper, by William Mullen, compares apocalyptic writings from the Old and New World. These writings suggest that society is restructured after a catastrophe. The survivors seek stability through worship of what they think is an appropriate deity and through ritual activities. When another apocalypse is imminent, a new religion emerges or old religions are altered in an attempt to avert the impending disaster. Mullen shows how a catastrophe which occurred in the distant past becomes, because of religion, an apocalypse which will occur in the future. Where Mullen has discussed catastrophe as it is expressed through religion, the next paper, by Irving Wolfe, proposes that ...
792. In Defence of Sir Fred Hoyle [Journals] [SIS Review]
... done, than to say that it is pointless, as Steven Weinberg has done. Both statements are metaphysical and outside science. Yet it seems that scientists are permitted by their own colleagues to say metaphysical things about lack of purpose and not the reverse. This suggests to me that science, in allowing this metaphysical notion, sees itself as religion and presumably as an atheistic religion (if you can have such a thing). Pierre Simon Laplace may not have had the need for a God hypothesis but that notion is not enshrined in science unless science claims to deal with more than the physical Universe. If that is its claim, then it should say so boldly so that ...
793. The Sacred Mountain [Journals] [Catastrophism & Ancient History]
... , including the mountain, was etched deeply into the psyche of man and the loss of its image was devastating, followed by the subsequent catastrophes described by Velikovsky. Images of the mountain were made to bring back the golden age and garden of Eden, around which were constructed great civilizations and upon which were founded great- but suppressive- religions. The citadel of Troy as the earthly representation of the Sacred Mountain was overcome by the Greeks in the Trojan War, which ushered in a Greek Heroic Age and founded Western culture. Greek cities were built for human comfort, with forums and agoras for social gathering and baths for relaxing and discussing philosophy; religion was banished to Delphi ...

795. The Atlantis Secret [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... the Exploded Planet myth was encoded in the tales of gods and peoples coming down from the sky. Millennia later, the ancient Greeks adopted similar ideas. In the myths and cults of the Olympian gods, in the mystery schools, in the cosmogonies of Thales, Anaximander, Heraclitus, Anaxagoras, Empedocles and Philolaos, in the "soul religion" of Orpheus, Pythagoras, Parmenides, Socrates and Plato, in all of these places, the Exploded Planet cosmogony is to be found. The Secret of All Secrets: Plato was initiated into the Exploded Planet secret, and used it as the basis for his story of Atlantis. In a theory that unifies all of Greek religion ...
796. Electricity [Books] [de Grazia books]
... for this neglect, it may lie in the unreadiness of the lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere to display their electrical history, letting the electrical be considered transient and superficial. If one seeks non-rational explanations of an ideological or psychiatric sort for such avoidance, it may be in the quixotic or miraculous appearances of electrical phenomena. Bordering upon the religious and the occult, these set up psychological resistances among "hard" scientists. As we shall see, even the famous subject of lightning, which can hardly be ignored, is little understood. The latest literature on lightning is still at the state of trying to survey its extent and intensity, and not even its forms are classified ...

798. From Myth to Physical Model [Articles]
... have arisen as ritual expressions, honoring, re-enacting and extending celestial forms and celestial episodes in the age of the gods. The first writing, vital technologies, monumental architecture, the rise of kings and larger-scale political organization, rites of sacrifice and wars of conquest-all of these distinctive attributes and tendencies of the first civilizations- can be traced to religious or ritual practices in which men sought to re-live and to extend the Prime Example provided in the mythical age. It is not an exaggeration to say that the makers of civilization never built anything considered sacred or undertook any religious act without first finding inspiration and guidance in a celestial prototype. And all traditions agree that prototype arose in the ...

800. The Terrible Ones, Part 2 Mars Ch.5 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... called "the terrible ones," the same term Isaiah used. "The terrible ones" of the Vedas were not common storm clouds, nor were the "terrible ones" of Joel and Isaiah human beings. Certainly only by chance did the similarity of names and pictures in the Vedas and the Prophets escape the attention of students of religion. The Maruts are understood here as comets which in great numbers started to whirl in the sky on short orbits, after the impact of Mars and Venus. They followed and preceded the planet Mars. The name Mars (genitive, Martis) would be of the same origin as Marut. It is therefore gratifying to read that the ...
