... Solaria Binaria constructed here along the lines of short-time electrical quantavolution, we have presented physical and cultural evidence of several major historical happenings, as well as some lesser events that need not be summarized here. 1.

Human nature originated abruptly with a complex culture in the first age of binary instability, precipitated by electrical and hormonal changes, and displaying anxious self-awareness and a grasping for self-control. 3.

... and windows to mind, fireplaces to dampen, a busy telephone at folder marked "action now", with half a dozen jobs, including a professorship and an editorship, with a propensity to daydream, and in that American society which tries in a hundred ways to pry into one's time and makes life tough for readers, and needing seven hours of sleep- how does he read a book? They say, "When you want something done, go to a busy man." His urges are compelling. This act of devouring the book was typical of Deg. He would seize things out of his life-stream like a bear grabbing fish and do something with them, ...
... exist from St. David's to Cardigan, and from Milford Has en to Carmarthen, with a fair sprinkling along the south coast and a group about Hereford. In Scotland the greatest number lie in Caithness with several in Sutherland, but in the Caledonian region, despite many antiquities and Druidic remains, from Inverness to the Firth of Forth only seven are recorded.

There are considerable numbers in the Hebrides, in Skye, in Mull, and in the Orkneys. Sir Cyril Fox finds the greatest distribution in ...

... not a freer exchange through to Australia. Such complex palaeontological problems are built up on fragments - the Antarctic fossils consist of two jaw bone fragments and a few teeth. It may be that Antarctica holds the answer to many riddles beneath its ice, or it may be that fossil fragments were deposited in alien environments during catastrophes. Are the Seven Sisters Pregnant?source: New Scientist 28.10.82, p.230 Three scientists at the Leiden Observatory in Holland have been studying the remarkable variations in the brightness of some of the stars in the Pleiades group.

... not directly refer to the creation of the Earth out of a conquered monster (Note 14) - It tells that the hero, Athrajen, killed the giant Ferraun and threw his body into the mythical lake, Thamgurth. This caused its waters to rise in a great flood which submerged the whole Earth. Indeed, the waters of the seven primeval seas were formed from the blood that flowed from Ferraun's wounds. According to the cosmogony of the Manichaeans the Spirit of Life slew the evil Archontes, who had made themselves the rulers of the world, and formed the firmament out of their skins. The Marianne Islanders tell that before this world came into existence a being named Punlan ...

... relationship [15]: The writer has for several years been observing this relation between the positions of the heavenly bodies and seismic, volcanic, and electrical disturbances, and is forced to the conclusion that the latter are caused in part by the conjunctions, oppositions, perihelions (or perigees) and equinoxes of the moon, earth, and seven other planets, especially when several of these occur at once. He warned that such disturbances do not always occur at these times and that the relative position of the heavenly bodies have to be combined with local causes to produce volcanism and seismism. After all, he commented, if solar storms (sun spots) are excited by perihelion ...

... around an invisible centre. Yet one of the characteristics of the north celestial sun about which ancient records are adamant is that it stood perfectly immobile in its boreal placement. Like many of Velikovsky's adherents, de Grazia accepted too much of him on faith. Thus Velikovsky explained Saturn's flare-up as the demise of that planetary deity with the deluge following seven days after the occurrence. The texts, however, leave no doubt that the flare-up constituted the birth, and not the death, of the Saturnian deity. It does not take much browsing through ancient literature to realize that the shedding of the light heralded the creation and that the long and prosperous era of the Golden Age intervened between ...
