... all worlds are made alike. With this lesson plainly announced, I turn my glass to the skies and see innumerable worlds in a molten or igneous condition, and I am forced to concede the Fact that this Fiery state is one stage in the great plan of world-making, and that Earth was once also a fiery star, a flaming sun. When by chance my eyes behold a world whose flames are dim, or one whose fires have died, but around which is anchored a system of world-rings, I am forced again to concede that suns grow cold, and that annular or ring-formation is another and inevitable stage of world-growth that all worlds, in passing from the sun-state ...
92. The Shadow Of Death, Part 1 Venus Ch.6 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... the Egyptian plague of darkness.(2 ) The world was gloomy in the year of Caesar's death, -44. "After the murder of Caesar the dictator and during the Antonine war," there was "almost a whole year's continuous gloom," wrote Pliny.(3 ) Virgil described this year in these words: "The sun . . . veiled his shining face in dusky gloom, and godless age feared everlasting night. . . . Germany heard the clash of arms through all the sky; the Alps rocked with unwonted terrors . . . and spectres, pale in wondrous wise, were seen at evening twilight."(4 ) On September 23, ...
93. Mythic Mountains by Isaac Vail [Books]
... , "built the walls of Troy". Mythic Rome and Troy, then, were vapor built cities, and further back in time we may see the polar opening in which sun- nurtured forms sprang forth to become mythic personages in. song and legend, and we can see in the fossil thought the unmistakable movement of canopy vapors. Sun nursed Romulus could not have built a city if he were not sunlit vapors forced into form around the pole and he thus becomes the Roman Apollo. Remus, who leaped the wall and perished, must have been some part of the sun-lit vapors that passed over the polar wall and disappeared, as all vapor scenes must eventually have done ...
94. Astral Kingship [Journals] [Aeon]
... the top of the primeval sandhill'." (27) The Egyptian hieroglyph which signifies the Primeval Hill also means to "appear in glory" (28) which connotes radiance, indicating far more than a mere earthly hillock. It has been generally taken for granted by scholars of various disciplines that Atum and/or Re represented the Sun and that Pharaoh was thus the son of the Sun. (29) A digression, as we put this assumption to the test, may here prove to be quite worthwhile. From the Pyramid Texts, we have the following utterance: O Atum! When you came into being you rose up as a high hill, You shone ...
95. Temples And Obelisks, Part 2 Mars Ch.7 (Worlds in Collision) [Velikovsky] [Velikovsky Worlds in Collision]
... From "Worlds in Collision" © 1950 by Immanuel Velikovsky | FULL TEXT NOT AVAILABLE Contents Temples And Obelisks In classic authors references can be found to the fact that the temples of the ancient world were built facing the rising sun.1 Orientation toward the sun is, at the same time, orientation toward the visible planets, as all of them travel through the sig ns of the zodiac or in the ecliptic. The sun changes the point of its rising and setting from one day to another, and the ecliptic makes a corresponding slow swing from one solstice to another. Therefore, for the purposes of accurate observation of wheth er the terrestrial pole shifted in a sudden ...
96. SERVANT OF THE SUN GOD [Journals] [Aeon]
... From: Aeon II:1 (1989) Home | Issue Contents Servant Of The Sun God David Talbott BACKGROUND In seeking to flesh out the mythical character I have called the "warrior-hero" one must deal with a certain paradox: many of the encountered personalities will appear to have little or no connection with either the concept of a "warrior" or a "hero." The problem of definition will be easy when one takes on such well-known figures as the Babylonian Nergal, Greek Ares and Latin Mars, figures readily identified as both warriors and heroes. But pressing the investigation further will inevitably move the researcher into a much larger circle of myth and a wider range ...
97. Mons Veneris [Journals] [Aeon]
... find a source of evidence that is more objective in nature and less susceptible to ad hoc interpretations, whether on the part of the critic or catastrophist researcher. This new evidence- descriptions of the ancient sun-god's epiphany and its attendance by various planets- bears all the earmarks of being objective in nature. Depictions of the daily cycle of the sun can be found amongst the ancient art and literature from the Old and New World alike. Our discussion here will focus upon the literature and art from the ancient Near East and, while necessarily technical in nature, it is hoped that it will serve as a launching pad for a radical reinterpretation of ancient cosmology in general. (Fig ...
98. Darkness and the Deep [Journals] [Aeon]
... Tresman's and Newgrosh's finest disclosure was that "there is every indication that this original deity [Saturn] was at one time the only visible planetary body of the heavens." (16) Roger Wescott, on the basis of his own research, came to the same conclusion: "The sky, instead of being dominated alternately by the Sun and the Moon, was constantly dominated by a single huge and luminous body, here called Aster." (17) David Talbott has also focused attention on this topic. As he had it stated: The Egyptians remembered the creator as the solitary Atum or Ra, whom we recognize as the planet Saturn. In the accounts of ...
99. Part II: The Comet [Ragnarok] [Books]
... ingredients, and swaying and streaming about them as heat and gravity, acting antagonistic ways, determine." 1 If the comet shines by reflected light, it is pretty good evidence that there must be some material substance there to reflect the light. "A considerable portion of the light of the comet is, nevertheless, borrowed from the sun, for it has one property belonging to it that only reflected light can manifest. It is capable of being polarized by prisms of double refracting spar. Polarization of this character is only possible when the light that is operated upon has already been reflected from an imperfectly transparent medium." 2 There is considerable difference of opinion as to ...
100. The Critics and Stellar Energy [Journals] [SIS Review]
... not much less in the neighbourhood of our solar system. Besides this, there is the question of total electric current of the solar discharge, for which Juergens has assumed a figure that is much too high. Juergens arrived (ten years ago) at a current of 1015A by assuming that only protons follow the solar wind outwards from the sun, while the velocity of electrons is negligible. As we know today, protons and electrons travel in the same direction, although some difference in velocity may exist, giving rise to a plasma current. It should he noted that in most of the literature on the solar system, the net electric current is assumed to be zero everywhere ...
