... did Jesus come merely to a very secondary planet, one of many? But among these considerations, mainly the awakened feeling of insecurity was at the basis of the great anguish that greeted the retarded announcement of the Copernican theory. The great derailment of this planet on its travels put a deep-seated fear into man's soul; and as the deepest traumas are relegated to oblivion in the soul of a single individual, so also is the case with humankind. ...
... the behavior of the subsequent generations. Frank E. Manuel maintains that in Boulanger's conception "there is no physiological transmission of the postdiluvian terror, nor a theological incubus of sin, merely a historical tradition embodied in rites, myths, ceremonials. Boulanger required no biological mechanism or race memory plasmically inherited to account for the enduring effects of the trauma of the flood; mere imitation and institutional inheritance was adequate, a theory which allowed also for the relatively easy cure of the disease and thus generated an optimism whose spirit is to be distinguished from the traumatized humanity of Freud."[23] Neither Freud nor Jung knew anything of Boulanger, and his name is not found in ...
... the experience, to regain their wits, to reconstitute themselves in the world that had been transformed". This parallel was not drawn by Professor Lifton; he, however, drew parallels with the mental evolution or, rather, mutation in the survivors of the Nazi camps. A major portion of Death in Life deals with "defense-mechanisms against trauma: repression, denial, reaction formation, blotting out...screen memory, scapegoating and alibi-ing, self-hatred in order to avoid the anxiety of abandonment, identification with the power that has harmed one in order to avoid the anxiety of impotence, turning of anger against the self and becoming guilty." The book re-creates "a ...

65. AD: Chaos and Creation [Journals] [SIS Review]
... electrically-balanced binary system of Sun and Uranus, with attendant planets. It was, according to de Grazia, the break-up of this system that ushered in the sequence of catastrophes described in the book. CHAOS AND CREATION also considers the effects of these momentous changes on the observer - Man, the imperfect "homo sapiens schizotypicalis". For the traumas which gave Man his aggressive nature also produced curiosity and sensitivity, science and art...

... and may affect the whole or only part of an organism, dependent on its size and composition. Now, if the theophany of which you spoke included shock waves of sufficient magnitude to be world wide in scope then it is within reason to expect that mutations should occur planet wide, and may also in some measure add to the psychological trauma to which you referred. So, I submit that the three agents are radiative, chemical, and acoustical. Sincerely, Frederic B. Jueneman Director/Research Innovative Concepts Association San Jose, California August 14, 1972 Dear Dr. Velikovsky: Last minute pressures of work prevent me from participating in the Symposium which I consider to be ...

... material. They will also have lost much, as historiographic methodology increasingly shows, owing to the alteration and accidents of their form of transmission, through cultural miscegenation, by reconciliation of older history with later history, by imposition of patterns of integration and new styles, by the collective amnesia that seeks both to forget actually and recall symbolically the traumas provoked in terrible ancient catastrophes, and by other changes in referents to accommodate ancient to present conditions, as a comet becoming a star, or as invisible electrical discharges which are now referred to as purely symbolic manifestations. Therefore there are limits to the scientificity that can be granted to the Rig Vedas, Bible, Eddas, Book of ...
68. The Beginning Of Religious Belief [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... . Something truly awesome must have caused this dramatic change in the nature of Man. When we are aware of how gods were called into being (so often man making God in his own image and likeness), when we understand how natural catastrophic events brought about Man's neurotic fears, then I believe we shall be free from this awful trauma and will be able to restore Man's image to the shrines he built to himself twenty thousand years ago. Readers are referred to an article in Kronos (Vol. II, No. 2, November 1976) by John V. Myers: "Sin and the Control System" for some relevant complementary references. A key quote from ...
69. Saturnists Play Marbles [Journals] [SIS Internet Digest]
... did, wouldn't that have been cause for much hilarity? Wouldn't it have been just as funny in ancient times as it is now? I mean, it's basic schtick - like a pratfall. Wouldn't such ceremonies have evolved into fun festivals, like the boy king & the feast of fools in medieval times? Might also have mitigated the trauma of the Saturnian breakup & the time of terror. Just an idea. Dave Talbott Responds: Pam is to be congratulated for her insights on the comic element. Originally the archetypal warrior-hero is the servant of the central luminary and is highly active in the "creation". That role is fully documented globally. But it may be ...

... dioxide emissions will eventually cause global warming, if they are not already doing so, and if a belief in this is causing our species seriously to reconsider our polluting behaviour then it is a good thing, whether or not it is true. However, the motivation behind such beliefs and actions could be living support for Velikovsky's theories of ancient trauma.
