852. A RENAISSANCE SATURN [Journals] [Aeon]
... which the nature of God was revealed to man. (13) Egidio's familiarity with Euhemeristic versions of the Saturn narrative is reflected in passages like this one: ". .. that the same golden age was under Saturn on earth, the laws teach us...and Janus in order to arrive at the divine image, exercised religion, piety and holy rites which certainly don't constitute happiness but a life which is as close as possible to happiness." (14) Although Egidio's interest as expressed in this passage was focused more intently upon Janus than Saturn, (15) it is evident that the author was writing within a tradition which viewed Saturn's reign as a ...
... the whole long history of these names we meet attempts at interpretation." This last sentence goes for every ancient text, not only for the names contained therein: there is no end of commentaries on the Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts and the Book of the Dead [n8 See, for example, G. Roeder, Urkunden zur Religion des Alten Aegypten (1915), pp. 185f., 199f., 224.], on the Rigveda, the I-Ging, just as on the Old Testament [n9 J. Dowson (A Classical Dictionary of Hindu Mythology, p. 60) bluntly calls the Brahmanas "a Hindu Talmud."]. W. ...

856. Early Attempts At Rationalizing. Ch.2 To Know And Not To Know (Mankind in Amnesia) [Velikovsky]
... From "Mankind in Amnesia" © 1982 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Early Attempts At Rationalizing With Aristotle (- 384 to- 322), there came a codification of the oblivion assigned to the natural revolutions that occurred in the historical past: the negation of such events became a statute not only for philosophy but for religion and science as well- and a dogma for political credo. But even before the codification there was an early tendency toward the process of obliteration. One of the mechanisms of obliteration was what we shall call rationalisation, or substituting for the unusual what appeared to be less unusual. One hundred years before Aristotle wrote his codification (never ...
857. Writing The Epilogue. File I (Stargazers and Gravediggers) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Stargazers]
... I deliberated with myself about the last pages of the Epilogue, set and proofread: whether to include them in, or omit them from, the book. They dealt with celestial mechanics. In the Epilogue I discussed the problems solved and the new problems that presented themselves in the fields of history and chronology, Bible criticism, development of religion, mass psychology, geology, paleontology, astronomy, and physics. I wrote: Having discovered some historical facts and having solved a few problems, we are faced with more problems in almost all fields of science.... Barriers between sciences serve to create the belief in a scientist in any particular field that other scientific fields ...
858. The Subjective Interpretation Of The Events And Their Authenticity, Part 2 Mars Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... of Joshua who commanded the sun and the moon to halt in their movements. Because the scientific mind cannot bel ieve that a man can make the sun and the moon to stand still, it disbelieves also the alleged event. What contributes to this is the fact that least of all do we place faith in books that demand belief, religious books, though we swear on these. The peoples of the past were prepared to see miracles in unusual occurrences; for this reason modern man, who does not believe in miracles, rejects the event together with the interpretation. But as we find the same event in the traditions of many people s, and as each people has ...
859. Venus: A Battle Star? [Journals] [Horus]
... Battle Star?by C.E . Bowen Introduction Measurement of time by celestial cycles and concern with the calendar played a much more visible role in ancient civilizations than in our own. In ancient times, the calendar was not merely a device to mark the days, weeks, and months of the year. The calendar system was perceived religiously and the priests gave the astronomical gods, active, vital roles in daily affairs. As a result, each day was different, depending upon which astronomical gods were believed to control or influence a particular phase of the calendar cycle. These divine influences over things that were planned to take place on a certain day were taken into careful ...

Wal Thornhill- ASTRONOMY AS ART By Amy Acheson Ptolemy's mathematical epicycles were an effort to explain the celestial order as he saw it in terms of the "divine perfect circles" of his mythical/religious heritage. Copernicus' new viewpoint was based on the same assumption that there is something sacred about "celestial spheres". He tossed out Ptolemy's math and painted a new picture using a concept he imagined would replace the cumbersome epicycles with perfectly circular orbits. See? If you put the Sun here, at the center, the planets ...
