... induced by cosmic catastrophes on a global scale may have so affected humankind that it invariably replays those events in the form of self-destructive warfare. This theory was elaborated upon, albeit only in a seminal way, in Velikovsky's posthumously published book Mankind in Amnesia (1982). Though the work serves more as an introduction to the subject of collective trauma, psychoanalysis, and amnesia rather than being the monumental summation its author surely intended it to be, (21) Veli-kovsky's cognizance of the periodicity of war and apocalyptic destruction, his concern for the continued existence of the human race, and his discussion of the survival of archaic themes and archetypal motifs into the twentieth century remain of paramount ...

... , and Michelson and Gingerich because their overall roles have never been examined before. I then conclude this look back with a brief look toward the future. * * * * * PART ONE: THE PSYCHOLOGY PSYCHOANALYTIC RESISTANCE Psychoanalysts find that their patients characteristically display very strong resistance to any unwelcome truths that the analysts have uncovered about the patient's early traumas. The patients have long since buried their memories of those early traumatic experiences, and now they simply cannot accommodate having them stirred up prematurely. Thus even if the analysts do come to realize just what the traumatic experiences were (and perhaps after only a few sessions), it is still necessary to wait, sometimes for years, ...

... man's noteworthy collective experiences. In the knowledge-assimilation process, it is the long-term storage sector. Now, taking this assumption as a starting point, we then consider the possible effects of the Velikovskian cataclysms. If such horrible events have occurred- and indeed there appear to have been more than two instances- can we not imagine them causing collective traumas on each occasion, one reinforcing the other, burning their imprint onto the collec- tive memory? Looking at mankind as a collectively traumatized being, we may then wonder what collective defense mechanisms man might erect so that the horrible memory of the catastrophes, the conscious realization of which would make our living unbearable, is suppressed. How ...

... world prior to (or in conjunction with) an End-Time paroxysm involving world destruction, allowing a new Aryan man to appear and rule in an Aryan Age which would be the Final Age or Apotheosis of Life. One might ask why the Germans in particular were consumed by such a terrible ' Last-Days' vision. The answer lies in the traumas which that embittered nation suffered during the critical period 1918-1933, from the end of the First World War to Hitler's ascent to power. Most scholars who have studied the great millenarian outbursts of the Middle Ages agree that they are always the result of a huge social and psychological crisis. The theory is that when a society undergoes a sudden ...

... proposition that our ancestors were severely traumatised by a number of global catastrophes, de Grazia eschewed any idea that by stripping off the layers of past experience, we could somehow arrive at a picture of a rational "untraumatised" human being. Mankind in Amnesia, he felt, is limited by a Freudian view: that revealing to Man past traumas will be enough to "cure" his neuroses and return him to a precatastrophe "normal" state. In de Grazia's opinion there never was a "rational" man before catastrophic episodes, since Man had actually evolved in the first place by becoming a schizophrenic, irrational creature. Homo Schizo In a catastrophist model of evolution - or ...

... unchained elements, devastation by which no creature in the world, on land or in the sea, could conceivably have been unaffected. Thus the accumulation of the genetic mnemes comes down to every representative of the species in our days through every one of the genealogical lines: all ascendancy reaches back to the same generation that was exposed to the trauma. (p 30) In the frame of collective amnesia, which is the syndrome I first discussed in Worlds in Collision, the amnesia that occurs in a single victim closely following the trauma is not an exact parallel: the collective mind does not immediately forget what it went through. What occupies us are the two processes in which ...

... reconstruction. In later years he adds of course that anti-Semitism has been fed from many other sources. Both believing Jews and believing Christians of varying persuasions see anti-Semitism as a moral problem, a religious question, an assault by the devil, or fearful judgments of God. The late Zvi Rix of Jerusalem went far in linking anti-Semitism to the traumas of terror that followed hard on the great cosmic catastrophes that Velikovsky uncovered. Therefore, in laying the source of anti-Semitism at the door of the Amalekites, Velikovsky is striking the most important blow in his own conception, in his military campaigns in the kingdoms of thought and the empires of history. The command of God to Israel through ...

... to accept the catastrophic past is the source of man's aggression...Warfare has its origin in the same terror." Leaders imitate what they perceive to be the gods in action. Nobel Peace Prizes have been futile. Freud, V. s predecessor, first developed the theory that each individual desires subconsciously to repeat the catastrophe or trauma, which he believed to be the murder of the father, the Oedipus Complex. In place of collective amnesia from the murder of the father, V. substituted collective amnesia from the trauma of natural disaster. His therapy, like Freud's, was to get the patient to realize the origin of his trauma. With Freud, the ...

However, he scarcely considers whether real events lay behind this compulsive return to origins of all peoples, a mechanism exactly consonant with Sigmund Freud's mechanism of compulsive reenactment of traumas. Freud, when he essays to explain the origins of the mechanism, postulates a primordial social crisis among the hominids whereby the "father" is killed by the "brothers" of a horde to gain access to the females whom the "father" monopolized; this theory is so weak, as I have shown elsewhere, as ...
