... marching day and night, in the morning he fell upon the enemies as they were going up to the siege; and when he had discomfited them, he followed them, and pursued them down the descent of the hills. The place is called Bethhoron; where he also understood that God assisted him, which he declared by thunder and thunderbolts, as also by the falling of hail larger than usual. Moreover, it happened that the day was lengthened (7 ) that the night might not come on too soon, and be an obstruction to the zeal of the Hebrews in pursuing their enemies; insomuch that Joshua took the kings, who were hidden in a certain cave ...

333. Pharaoh Seti the (Great and His Foreign Connections - II [Journals] [Kronos]
... Tantric philosophy has often been identified - wrongly - as an advocation of erotic orgies and obscene behavior. The Buddhism of Tibet is a clean religion which sees erotic feeling and contact as itself clean and pure, if properly represented. The male element of action, held symbolically in the right hand, is the vajra or dorje, the diamond thunderbolt; and the branch of Mahayana Buddhism which Tantric Buddhism teaches is called "Vajrayana". The other symbol of Vajrayana is the bell, held in the left hand, which represents the female element, or wisdom. 10. The contrast has often been made between the "preservation of the body", e.g . the ...
334. The Cosmic Serpent by Victor Clube and Bill Napier [Journals] [Kronos]
... .(31) The idea that there was a religious reform instigated by the prophet Amos,(32) on the other hand, can only have come from reading Velikovsky- but again no credit was given. In their comparison between the Exodus account and the lamentations of Ipuwer they choose to concentrate on the stinking river, hail, thunderbolts, darkness, and the pillars of smoke and fire.(33) These they can explain in terms of their erstwhile large comet coming into the vicinity of Earth. The blood mentioned in the Exodus account and by Ipuwer is neither explored nor explained. This was undoubtedly a missed opportunity, because similar falls of "blood" are ...

336. The Palaetiology of Fear and Memory [Books]
... can be promptly engaged; the sacrifice of more and more valuable properties and persons. Relentlessly the menace approaches. The sky is full of lights, shapes and turbulences. The Earth begins to respond - to live, to move, to split open, to smoke, to blow up strong winds, to shriek, to take fire. Thunderbolts strike down up n all sides. Our hero watches. He is exceedingly frightened, as are his family and neighbors. There may be a pandemonium in which he faints or is struck dumb; he may scramble into a temple or house or cave; he will cover his head. The young will observe more of the scene than ...
337. The Polar Sun [Books]
... Coomaraswamy, Elements of Buddhist Iconography, 42-43. Ibid., 43-45, 52, 55. Comparable to the firmly seated position of the Egyptian great god is the position of the "resting" or "meditating" Buddha. The Buddha "sat himself down cross-legged in an unconquerable position, from which not even the descent of a hundred thunderbolts at once could have dislodged him." Quoted in Campbell, Oriental Mythology, 16. Schlegel, op. cit., 507. Jung, Alchemical Studies, 20. Ibid., 25.

338. Compelling Insights: Concluded in Sorrow [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... to form an integral part of modern literature, so did the ancient deities, with their constant intervention, form an integral part of Greek epic and drama. Besides, the ancient Greeks saw the hands of their gods in anything nature had to offer. If a plague scourged the land,it was due to Apollo's displeasure. If a thunderbolt hit a building, it was flung by Zeus in his wrath. When the sea tossed up its waves, it was Poseidon up to his usual antics. Not to have included a fair smattering of divine intervention in an epic, saga, or drama would have been very un-Greek. What, then, of the gods' association ...

... and the silver, human-faced Zeus' comet? In Chapter XVIII of the same book, Pliny says that Heavenly fire is spit forth by the planets as crackling fires from a burning log, bringing prophecies with it . . . accompanied by a very great disturbance of the air'. It is interesting here that he associates prophecy with planetary thunderbolts and I am reminded of the various speculations some have made between electrical and spiritual phenomena. Was there a connection between the 8th century catastrophes and the rise of the Israelite prophets? Keith A. LeFlem, Norwich The Ninsianna Tablets The paper by Michael G. Reade (C &C Review 1993 vol. XV) is a splendid ...
... am required to give my decision by Monday; if the book is included in the fall catalogue it would be not good to delay the publication to the spring. I really need a little respite; but considering that I wish to publish in succession- Ages II, III, Before the Day Breaketh, Saturn and Deluge, Jupiter of the Thunderbolt, Letters to a Heretic, Stargazers, The Orbit, and s[e ]veral more, I do not see how I can do less than two books a year. I could offer them to switch to another book, but besides Stargazers none is far enough progressed. Einstein's book (Before the Day Breaketh) would be ...
