... Velikovsky draws (from the New World Codices to the extensive geological records), is the same man whose philosophy and religious tenets became bankrupt, as Nietzsche's madman proclaimed before the turn of the century. Although this announcement went unheeded, the same message assumed material form in the massive destruction of the World Wars, and by the more widespread trauma heralded by Black Tuesday in 1929. When we consider that this same Man devised the atomic holocausts of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we can appreciate the setting for an understanding of a cataclysmic cosmos. As participants in a new paradigm, we need not disregard the societal grounds of our being. To those whose consciousness matured during the sixties, ...

No animal (hominid) no matter how bizarre or self-destructive its behavior (induced by disease, chemicals, or trainers) ever thinks to itself: "I can't believe what I am doing!" F. Assume a population of bands, a reign of natural terror (massive traumas), and distraught faunal populations. (Problem now set is: How does a human become created and survive successfully out of this pre-creation setting?) FIRST PHASE: GESTALT OF CREATION A. In a quick circular reaction the following occurs: High-powered environmental forces are unleashed in sky and earth. All senses are bombarded and radionic storms ...

... but his ideas on man's failure to understand the human and natural history buried in myth come very close to Velikovsky's theory about mankind's repressed archaic memory, the reason for which, in turn, finds reinforcement in Vico's concept of imaginative universals. Whereas Velikovsky contends that any conscious recollection of the global cataclysms he describes has been thwarted by the psychological trauma induced by the events themselves, Vico maintains that many of man's key myths are the result of his primal ancestor's awe when confronted by fearful natural phenomena such as thunder.(10) And if both Vico and Velikovsky are correct, the great catastrophes depicted by the latter would be a far more logical trigger for the collective repression indicated ...

104. Nova of Super Uranus and Ejection of the Moon [Books] [de Grazia books]
... designated as the Age of Urania. The skies were falling upon the transformed primate schizoid, Homo sapiens. Children's fables like that of "Chicken Little", who led the barnyard animals in a search for an Authority to do something about the falling skies, are ancient and widespread and are not to be neglected as reflections of the ancient traumas imprinted upon the collective memory and sublimated into the first fictional literature alongside the sacred religious myths (de Grazia, 1978, 1984a). When the heavens were broken open, as by P'an Ku, the Chinese creator god, Super Uranus appeared in the north, immense and egg-shaped, probably resembling a giant eye, too, atop ...

... a hundred times the expressions and effects of high energy in recent years, then all fields of ancient history and ecology must undergo change. Many cultures would have been caused to disappear in natural disasters. Human nature may have acquired the character of desperation. Personal behavior and institutional practices may have become suffused with the effects and expectations of intense traumas. In short, the world of natural and social history becomes a different world and had better be studied differently. Let us look briefly, then, into the middle of the second millennium B.C ., that is, some 3500 years ago. (Because there is some confusion of chronology and much controversy about it, ...

106. Spectres [Books] [de Grazia books]
... quantavolutionary position is that they were probably psychotic, but partially because of the nature of such events. Thus, to some extent, we become uniformitarian in respect to human psychology as we become quantavolutionary in regard to nature. An increasing number of studies of modern mankind in disaster lead us to accord greater reliability to ancient stories. A severe trauma of terror, such as the nuclear blast at Hiroshima, leaves the survivors quite catastrophized. What happens thereafter matters little to the survivor. Subsequent sights are likely to fall upon a numbed and hopeless creature. Where survivors are reduced to hopelessness, few lift their hands to help others. The prognosis of the group is poor. Studies ...

... mice; each of their children might turn into a mouse. Such fears are rooted in myths and memories the modern world has failed to comprehend. There is an ARCHETYPE of cosmic "darkness," with deeper and broader meaning than could be extracted from any single commemorative occasion. Alone, the symbols can only point ambiguously backwards to unrecognized trauma. But in combination, the symbols will provide a rich profile of the world-ending catastrophe, accessible to any researcher willing to break free from a methodology that sees only fragments and asks the fragments to explain themselves in isolation from the whole. Of course, the planet Venus would seem an unlikely source of sky-darkening clouds (or of sky-clearing ...

... year in the south and 25 mm/year on the coastal plain [26]. A large number of crustal movements started around 2300BC, as summarised in Table 3. In a number of cases, they caused cultural migrations and discontinuities, when rivers changed course and settlements had to be abandoned. The crustal movements contributed to the overall trauma at this time. The dates clearly cluster around 2300BC. A question arises as to the degree of clustering around 2300BC. The answer lies in the fact that glaciers are located in many places on the Earth; furthermore, water taken from the oceans would also cause crustal vertical movements to occur in many oceanic areas. Changing climatic conditions ...

... particularly for the Mediterranean cultures. The catastrophes caused by Venus were only the latest of a number of similar cosmic events. Their effects were important to geological and biological evolution, not least to the psychological development of mankind. We all have powerful, albeit unconscious, memories of those events- we suffer from "collective amnesia," the trauma of those catastrophes being so great that mankind suppressed explicit recollections and now remembers only in allusive and elliptical ways through myth, legend, and folklore. Careful analysis of the latter, however, together with evidence from, for example, archaeology and paleontology, makes it possible to reconstruct those catastrophic events. This view has implications for literally ...
