... and magnetic) forces are central to its workings, and its history involves not quasi-eternal stability but repeated disruptions and shiftings of planetary orbits, the most recent series of which ended less than 27 centuries ago and wreaked havoc on all human societies. The experience of those catastrophes was so traumatic that the subsequent development of all human ideologies, both religious and secular, has included as an essential component a collective psychological mechanism of repression, sublimation, and avoidance against memory of terrifying events nevertheless described quite explicitly by the survivors and their immediate descendants, thus leaving the human race with a false consciousness of its own past and in a perilous state of cultural amnesia. The Israelite exodus from ...

Whether it's religion, politics, or science, letting go of the complex of ideas that provides an orderly explanation for your life and your experiences seems like falling into chaos and oblivion. It seems suicidal even to loosen your grip on that branch of Truth suspended over the abyss of ignorance. But every day, with every new thing you learn, ...
823. Chapter 16 Hittites ? Lydians [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... Ginenthal, Pillars of the Past 519 There are three additional problems relating to the Hittite question: 1. "Where did they come from?"59 This is still unknown. 2. The Hittites bring almost nothing of their culture to Anatolia. "The Hittites adopted much of the [earlier] Hattic culture as their own, including religion and myth, technology . . . Scholars continue to search for original Hittite contributions . . ." 60 3. No one knows where they disappeared to. "One last question remains: Where did the Hittites go? . . . as Dr [Peter] Neve told . . . we have found not a trace of them ...

... if Manetho was right) by Salitis, first king of the 15th Dynasty. South of the wall are rows of pits indicative of a vineyard, and among them fragments of fresco paintings from a building, possibly a palace, situated west of the vineyard. Some of them depict Cretans leaping over bulls, a sport that featured in the religious cult practised at Knossos. Since these are the earliest Cretan frescoes ever found, and they speak of the palace occupants (if the building was a palace) holding a religious belief quite distinct from the Seth-worship of their predecessors, David deduces that the later Hyksos kings were perhaps Indo-European Minoans' rather than Semitic Canaanites'. Some support ...

826. A Holographic World [Journals] [Kronos]
... of conspire, "to breathe together". Thus, the Aquarian Conspiracy refers to the work of all those in many different areas whose independent efforts are leading to an all-pervading social transformation, a new social paradigm. The book describes the rapid and profound changes the "conspiracy" is generating in economics, education, politics, medicine, religion and the family. For example, the old economic paradigm promoted consumption at all costs via planned obsolescence, advertising pressure, the creation of artificial "need", whereas the new economic paradigm promotes appropriate consumption with conserving, keeping, recycling, quality and craftsmanship as goals. In medicine, a shift is occurring from mere treatment of ...

828. Focus [Journals] [SIS Review]
... . It was unfortunate that too often the academic world was not a favourable environment for new ideas. It had been said that education consists in the use of the mulch and the pruner, but that the latter was usually more in evidence than the former. Among other points raised during this session was the possible effect on the development of religion of early catastrophes, and a questioner suggested that they may have resulted in the change from the worship of female to male divinities and in the evolution of societies from matriarchy to patriarchy. Mr Moore also referred to the new translation of the Pyramid Texts which Dr William Mullen is reported to have undertaken in America. Because of the preconceptions ...

... convinced that Isaiah should not be taken too literally. Is.24:20 (" the earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard") can no more be taken literally than Is.65:25 (" the lion shall eat straw like the bullock"). I put Isaiah in the same category as those modern religious fanatics who see the End as being nigh, and who (metaphorically) bring down fire and brimstone on any remotely pleasurable aspect of modern life that isn't given a biblical thumbs- up. If you read Isaiah as a whole, you will see what I mean. I think it is a doom laden piece of invective rather than ...
830. AD Ages in Chaos: A Russian Point of View [Journals] [SIS Review]
... we can partly agree with this statement but in many cases the reliable history begins much later. Speaking about history, I would like to present a part of the Book of Civilisation. For each word connected with past the time is indicated when it was used for the first time in English literature. I have divided them into groups - Religion, Antiquity, Science, Middle Age - and we can see that in all of these groups the most important words were used for the first time at quite a late time: 14th, 15th century and even much, much later. Sometimes all these terms, for example connected with Islam, begin at the end of the 16th ...
