... . But the earliest expressions contained in this linguistic "spectrum" testify that both utterance and symbol were given all at once by the gods. In the beginning was the word, and it was both an audible and a visual emanation from a planetary deity. Perhaps a prior language was obliterated and forgotten in the wake of the terrors and traumas accompanying the "sacred word." But linguistics is not concerned with the forgotten; it's concerned with the remembered. And languages remember "sacred sounds" that are tied to "sacred symbols" by way of "sacred stories" that memorialize an all-at-once creation witnessed by and imposed upon humankind. Linguistic chromatography dissociates the sound from the ...
152. The Velikovsky Affair [Books] [de Grazia books]
... Physics and individualistic psychology, it may be noted, have in recent years been prone to demand complicated systems of priorities in giving scientific credits. Quarrelling over datelines of reports and property in findings' has sometimes occurred. This, it may be assumed, is in part a reaction against surrendering to indeterminacy. Much greater nervousness, verging on trauma, is approaching as scientists will consign their work to the anonymous maw of the electronic information storage apparatus of the future. Under the indeterminacy model, in the jargon of avant-garde statistics, the man/material takes a random walk. ' The random walk signifies that for control purposes (including predictive and tactical behaviour) there is no ...

... Hindus, Chinese, Japanese, Peruvians, Mexicans, and Caribs, concluding that rites, ceremonials, and myths reflect the fact that the human race was subjected to a series of cosmic convulsions for which he also considered the geological and paleontological evidence. He argued that these catastrophes shaped the human mind, causing among other things a deepseated psychological trauma: We still tremble today as a consequence of the deluge and our institutions still pass on to us the fears and the apocalyptic ideas of our first fathers. Terror survives from race to race... The child will dread in perpetuity what frightens his ancestors. (III, 316) Boulanger explained by these fears the human tendency ...

156. The Aristotelian Cosmos [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... come down from the old myths and presented by some Ionian philosophers, as well as Plato, that the Earth and the cosmos had undergone great cosmic catastrophes was denied because of the system that Aristotle began and which Ptolemy epitomized in the Almagest. It is quite the same, Velikovsky understood, as in psychoanalysis. The individual who had experienced trauma in the past will deny it through an entire series of fabrications. In fact, the analysand will maintain that just the opposite condition was what he had experienced. This systematic series of defenses takes time to be relinquished. Therefore, from a Velikovskian perspective, the behavior of these early astronomers in their systematic creation of unreal mechanisms to ...
157. Beneath Bauer [Books]
... it, let us say, because he has some knowledge of hypnotism and this is the only piece of Freud's writing that he can grapple with (as Bauer did with colloids in Cosmos Without Gravitation). What he would find, writing his evaluation let us say in 1950, is that in that article Freud insists on getting at the trauma through hypnosis rather than free association, and that he does not emphasize the sexual nature of the child's desires, both of which are the foundations of later work. Bauer would then conclude about Freud (as he did with Velikovsky on science), that Freud was incompetent in psychology, and therefore that it would be safe to deduce ...
