... physicist delving into the occult, and he, J. Ziegler, has supplied us with this quotation which can introduce this chapter and the next: The philosophers know the distinction between common and mysterious fire. The First that serves man's use is one thing. The fire that ministers to the judgement of God is another, whether flashing the thunderbolts from the heaven or rushing up from the earth through the mountain tops. For it does not consume what it burns, but, even while it spends it, repairs the loss. So the mountains remain, ever burning; and he who is touched by fire from heaven is safe - no fire shall turn him to ashes. ...
232. The Golden Age and Nova of Super Saturn [Books] [de Grazia books]
... sky-waters to fall (Mason, p77). Trisiras, a son of Prajapati and a saintly Saturn figure, was a three headed god with heads resembling the Sun, the Moon and the fire, which we interpret respectively as Saturn itself, the celestial crescent and the electric arc. Indra (a Hindu Jupiter) slew Trisiras with a thunderbolt, whereupon Trisiras' three heads shone with brilliant energy until they were cut off, and then flocks of birds flew out of them and his fever left his body. The powers that acted in the Heavens were manifested to humans amidst increasing disaster. In terror, self-abasement and pleading, man created a Uranus-Heaven religion and hoped for cosmic ...

... from active galactic nuclei. I have no doubt that the clouds in the Lagoon Nebula will be found to be twisting (rather than being some pressure wave effect). One of the telling arguments for the veracity of recent planetary interactions is the recurring helical, serpentine imagery associated in mythology with the planetary gods and in particular, Jupiter's corkscrew thunderbolts.- EUROPA PREDICTION AND DISCUSSION [Wal Thornhill wrote]: Back on 17 Jan, I posted an item about what I expected would be found on the closer images of Europa. The earlier post ran, in part, as follows: Since so many of the moons of the outer planets have similar markings, I can visualize ...

... of which appears near the earth's surface in the form of cascades of secondary particles that create complex ionized tracks as they penetrate the dense lower atmosphere. Lightning bolts would tend to follow these precursors along their crooked trails. [Thunderstorm frequency has often been linked to solar activity, and cosmic rays could provide the connection. Could meteorites or "thunderbolts" do likewise? Ed.] (Anonymous; "Do Cosmic Rays Trigger Lightning Discharges?", New Scientist, 77:88, 1978).

235. Imaginary and Expected Catastrophes: Apocalyptic Desire and Scientific Prognosis [Journals] [SIS Review]
... truth the story that is told in your country [Greece] as well as ours [Egypt] how once upon a time Phaeton, son of Helios, yoked his father's chariot, and because he was unable to drive it along the course taken by his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth and himself perished in a thunderbolt - that story, as it is told, has the fashion of a legend, but the truth of it lies in the occurrence of a shifting of the bodies in the heavens which move around the earth by fierce fire, which recurs at long intervals. ' [35] IV. In 1972, mainstream Darwinism acknowledged that one ...
236. Trisms and Planetary Iconography [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... other celestial bodies? According to Velikovsky, certain ancient authorities claimed that a terrible comet was observed at the time of the Exodus, identified by the Greeks with the monster god Typhon, and by the Egyptians with the god Set. (13) These authorities agreed that this comet wreaked great havoc and devastation before its denouement via Zeus' thunderbolts. Figure 45 Citing sources which claimed that Venus, at that time, resembled a comet, Velikovsky identified Typhon as Venus' cometary tail, suggesting that legends depicting a god of light (like Zeus) in mortal conflict with a cosmic dragon or serpent were observers' interpretations of the electrical interactions and repulsions between Venus' tail and ...
237. The Blasted Career of the Mighty Swordsman [Books] [de Grazia books]
... , although they are invisible now, the ancients may have recognized them [9 ]. Legend has it that they are the sons of Aphrodite . Hence we must raise the possibility that they were engendered in the Love Affair, the lovers' last encounters. Just as some mascons of the Moon may have been welded upon it by interplanetary thunderbolts, the sons of Aphrodite and Mars may have been exploded from the Moon and carried off by their father. They were part of a frightful bombardment of debris and ball-lightning which Earth suffered in the days of the Vedas and the Hebrew Prophets [10]. Velikovsky wrote in 1950 that an atmosphere, now residual, existed on Mars ...
238. Poleshifts, Catastrophes, And Myths [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... history of the gods given by the Greek poet Hesiod... in his Theogony, Clube and Napier offer a deliciously persuasive interpretation of the way religion itself developed and changed as events in the heavens unfolded. Olympus, the home of the gods, is seen as a great comet, moving across the sky where Zeus reigns hurling his thunderbolts earthward from time to time."16 All this, of course, comes straight out of Velikovsky and new theories based on the myths are now very much in vogue as the evidence of a kind of bandwagon effect seems to have come late on the heels of Velikovsky's work. Researchers D. S. Allen and J. B ...

... loved." (61) The Colossus of Rhodes, the renowned work of the sculptor Chares, was a statue of Helios and one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. (62) Helios was also associated with his son Phaethon who unsuccessfully attempted to drive the flaming chariot of his father until Zeus slew the youth with a thunderbolt, thereby saving the Earth and mankind from further conflagration and ruin. In another variation of the story, Phaethon ultimately became the Morning-Evening Star- Venus. (63) The various traditions of the world tell of several different ages which came to a violent end. (64) In the rabbinical conception of ages, seven heavens and ...
240. A Tale Of Two Venuses [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... from the sky], one is tempted to conclude that electrical forces lay at the heart of the phenomenon. Namely, . . . the loessian silt panicles carried an electrical charge when they emerged into our world space . . . . We also saw [earlier] how electrically charged water droplets similarly emerge into our atmosphere, thereby energizing thunderbolts. Because of this electrical charge, and the resulting expansion of the air, [repelled by like-charged particles] the clouds are driven upwards by the force of buoyancy until the condensation of additional droplets raises the density and brings the upward motion to a stop. One can easily imagine similar processes at work on Venus after the comet collided ...
