... chairs"), Mr Prescott actually ends up supporting the atheist's case by postulating that if another catastrophe were to occur, many would be driven with "chattering teeth and feverish beads" to indulge in religious superstition. And, from our Velikovskian studies, we know why. For those who survive, collective amnesia would set in and the trauma would be safely cocooned in new mythology. It all happened before, remember? Indeed, the whole case for the existence of God-the-Creator depends on the premise "In the Beginning [of Time] .. ." What shred of evidence is there that Time, or any other measurable dimension, has a beginning or an end? ...
142. The British Connection [Books] [de Grazia books]
... "Not so, I thought that was us!") Martin wants to see Clark Whelton and he and Deg hear of Clark's longing for an Association where we can all get together on a regular basis. Alas, Clark is assistant to Mayor Koch, on 24-hour alert; he is writing a novel; he is going through the trauma of kids readying for college. How, when, with what means and who? Everyone looks blank and slightly pained. But the outer world must have something in mind when they speak of the "underground" the "well-organized tactics" of the catastrophists, the invariable sharp attacks greeting an offensive remark about Velikovsky or against short chronology ...
143. Can Psychoanalysis be a Science? An Introduction to Velikovsky [Journals] [Horus]
... terror of catastrophe from the skies; not the primal instincts as proposed by Freud nor the abstract evolutionary archetypes of Jung's theory. The psychological illness of humankind lay primarily in a deep collective amnesia for upheavals in the natural environment and not in the nature of the race itself. In the context of his theory and the psychoanalytic principal that repressed traumas resist attempts to bring them to memory, Velikovsky had every reason to expect a certain amount of negative emotional reaction from the scientific community. But the intensity, persistence, and extremes of the response went far beyond anything he had anticipated. In his speech to the AAAS in 1974, [Velikovsky and Establishment Science, p.16 ...

... enemy deity of Egypt - Apophis! Seth is referred to as beloved of Re' so can hardly be regarded as "hated" by the Egyptians - perhaps feared but not despised. The reason why Seth's name became associated with the 19th Dynasty kings is purely a political one. Amun did not fall from grace, it's just that the trauma of the el-Amarna period had left a political vacuum in the Theban monarchy and the time was ripe for the upsurge of a new blood-line from the Northern Delta - and a very military family at that! It just so happens that they worshipped the cult of a particular war god and gave his name to their offspring even before they grasped ...

... mention Jung's collective unconscious. Contrary to orthodox opinion, memories may not be stored in the brain but in morphic fields, the brain simply acting as a receiver: that would explain why, after years of searching, no-one has yet found positive evidence of memory stores in the brain. Culture may also be associated with morphic fields: the trauma of initiation or conversion may be the result of tuning in to a new morphic field, and the attraction of ritual may be in reinforcing a field that has been in existence a long time. Even a scientific paradigm might have its associated morphic field, explaining the resistance to new and unorthodox views. So, Sheldrake's theory can explain ...
146. The Case of the Turkish Turn Coat [Journals] [Kronos]
... great catastrophe of tribulations, destructions and paroxysms of nature . . . was caused for the benefit of the sons of Israel".(28) 3) Existence, cause, and effects of phylogenetic memory: The Jews eventually accepted monotheism after a period of initial resistance. This is how Freud explained that phenomenon: (29) Early trauma - defence - latency - outbreak of neurotic illness partial return of the repressed. Such is the formula which we have laid down for the development of a neurosis. The reader is now invited to take the step of supposing that something occurred in the life of the human species similar to what occurs in the life of individuals: of ...
147. Catastrophism and the Mammoths- III (Vox Populi) [Journals] [Kronos]
... which the bones would have been cushioned against post-mortem injury. It is therefore inadequate to postulate a cause for the Beresovka mammoth's demise which fails to account for his cruel injuries contracted in vivo. The explanation involving sudden freezing given by Ellenberger and Cardona inter alia fails to meet this criterion. Moreover, the latter's scenario completely rules out the observed trauma: "The position in which this beast was found clearly indicates that it could neither have been drowned nor been crushed beneath a landslide. Its stance suggests that it was felled on its haunches, that it attempted to regain its feet, that it was then somehow asphyxiated, and that it froze in this animated position. It did ...
148. Nine Spheres of Venusian Effects [Books] [de Grazia books]
... any document or legend. I await the uniformitarian anomaly. VII. The seventh thesis, the Anthroposphere or cultural sphere, says: "Every culture complex in the world changed radically in midsecond-millennium." Here we refer to social organizations, religions, and modes of life. We know that the Egyptian Middle Kingdom underwent the political and social traumas of a takeover by the Hyksos. Most often, as Schaeffer has shown, "sedentary occupancy" of an area "was replaced by the nomadic." In Persia, Mesopotamia, and the Caucasus, he writes "there is no continuity between the civilizations of the Middle Bronze Age and the Recent Bronze Age." A recent ...

... 1 and 11:2 ). It is said by a presumed authority that the symbol is simply and solely the word for "sandal-strap" in hieroglyphics. Dr Rix no doubt is incensed at the pedantry (or should I say "potentry"?) of his critic, because the psycho-symbolist insists that the meaning (here the "trauma") comes first, then the symbol, then the derivatives. I would suggest, first, that Dr Rix has produced strong evidence in his favour and there is no contradiction in the fact that a derived meaning or any later meaning at all may be ascribed to the symbol. I would also suggest that the "sandal-strap" ...
150. A Philosophy for Interdisciplinary Studies [Journals] [SIS Review]
... what Lonergan has called a "flight from insight", a refusal to consider a possibility when the consequences of doing so would be too frightening, or inconvenient, or disturbing to one's ingrained habits of thought and behaviour [11]. There are all sorts and degrees of flight from insight, ranging from the virtually inevitable reaction to extreme trauma in the infancy of the individual (as described by FREUD) or the history of the community (as postulated by Velikovsky), to the habit of shirking inconvenient evidence and avenues of enquiry which might be established over the course of time by a tyrannical parent or employer or a privileged race or class. In both types of case ...
