... by night. It was necessarily a very swift sun, revolving about the earth about four or five times every day, and hence it was continually rising in the west and setting in the east. 2. This rapid revolution of the canopy about the earth, combined with its very deliberate tread to the pole, resulted inevitably in a spiral movement, and this motion was emphasized at the pole. Hence, all canopy vapors on reaching and falling at the critical limit, would convert the sky-hole region into a whirling vortex. Into this vortex the hidden sun poured its light, especially while in its north-course, as into a cosmic bore, or rotating helix, practically a ...
82. A Catastrophic Calendar [Books] [de Grazia books]
... and corresponds in geology to the holocene epoch. The solar system was transformed; so were in consequence the surface of the earth, the atmosphere, life and humanity. The transformations took the form of cycles, but the transformations of one era were the inheritance of the next one. Hence it might be more exact to speak of a spiral of history. The impulses for the great changes of the world came from the skies. There the greatest forces of the universe abide and interact. In each age, celestial bodies signalled and inaugurated revolutions of the earth and life. Earth forces and life forces reacted. Humans, too, reacted, although from the beginning they dreamt ...
... surprisingly rapid, its onward progress was sufficiently slow to allow a man to keep pace with it on foot. Franklin followed it on horseback, accompanied by his son, for three quarters of a mile, and saw it enter a wood, where it twisted and turned round large trees with surprising force. These were carried up in a spiral line, and were seen flying in the air, together with boughs and innumerable leaves, which, from their height, appeared reduced to the apparent size of flies. As this cause operates at different intervals of time throughout a great portion of the earth's surface, it may be the means of bearing not only plants but insects, ...
84. The Hermes Connection [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon I:5 (Sep 1988) Home | Issue Contents The Hermes Connection Frederic B. Jueneman The Personification As argued earlier, the Polar Column extended northward beyond the hyperboreal arctic, turbulently spiraling into space and presenting the image of a fluted column, effulgent with it own inner light. (1 ) The Personification of this Polar Column was none other than the demiurge Hermes himself, as The Way, The Path, and The Light. This thesis implies that the present planet closest to the Sun- the one we call "Mercury" today- was not involved in the myths surrounding Hermes, despite the identity with the Roman god who shares the planet's ...
... while the frequent visitors from without, comets and meteorites, are too minute of mass to cause any sort of orbital disturbance. A slow, disturbing influence would be effected by the resistance offered by a cosmic medium'. The orbits of bodies revolving in an unideal space' would not be re-entering curves (ellipses), but ellipsoidal inward-tending spirals. The pitch' of these orbital spirals, or, in other words, the speed of involution,would depend, partly, on the density of the cosmic, or interplanetary, medium and partly on the size, mass, and speed, of each body revolving in it. Interstellar, and especially interplanetary, space cannot be ...
86. Erratic Events in the Solar System [Journals] [SIS Review]
... both Cosbod and the Sun are positive (negative charge being ruled out for reasons discussed later) then they would repel and reduce the value of the attractive gravitational force. The charge on Cosbod leaks away into space, causing the force of attraction to increase [7 ]. The orbit traced out by the computer in the case was a spiral, bringing Cosbod nearer to the Sun and increasing its velocity. The spiral turns became progressively closer together, and when the charge was zero the orbit was nearly circular. By selecting suitable initial values of velocity and charge, obtained by a reverse action program, the final orbit became the same as that of Venus, with its present ...

... the surface brightness of the sun at all wave lengths." (25) Their magnetic fields are on the order on1012 gauss. (26) With these colossal field strengths, pulsars interact with the galactic magnetosphere to produce immense rotational velocity. Galaxies There are various forms of galaxies and our milky way is but one form, the galactic spiral. Our galaxy rotates about its center in about 200 million years. There are literally billions of galaxies and they too rotate. The galactic electromagnetic fields are interacting with electromagnetic field of the Universe. Based on my earlier postulates and evidence, the brightest galaxies should rotate more rapidly than galaxies that are less luminous. This too is exactly ...

... we should expect. This particular recurring association eliminates all theories based on the attributes of human eyes. Why an eye with streams of radiance or life? Why a singular eye? Why an eye called a goddess? Related ideas include: association of eye and triangle (which I shall clarify in a while); association of eye and spiral (when it is displaced, the eye-heart-soul spirals out from the cosmic center); association of eye and serpent-dragon (4 ) ; and the casting out of the eye as a weapon (the event ultimately lying behind the evil eye motif). Numerous pictographs of the Radiant Venus (including some of those presented in the first part ...

... ." #9 : Lightning is a generative, masculine pillar. It impregnates goddesses. #10: Lighting is a "chain of arrows" launched skyward by a great warrior or hero. #11: Lighting appears as a ladder or backbone of the sky, whose steps were ascended by an ancestral hero. #12: Lightning spirals, twists, or whirls across the heavens. It is a whorl, swastika, or triskeleon. #13: Lighting appears as an undulating, fiery serpent. #14: Lightning takes the form of twins, two brothers, or two companions, each viewed as the alter ego of the other. #15: Lightning is ...
