20 Questions About
What a God Is
Synopsis: These questions deal with how we define and characterize the proper
concept of God, showing that the traditional thinking misses the point.
Relevance: The question help us frame this important issue.
Basic Questions for Theology
Synopsis: Sometimes questions are better than answers, and
several dozen profound questions are posed to stimulate thinking.
Relevance: This compilation of questions need better answers.
The Meaning of Sin Issues
Synopsis: Bible translators and theologians have overlooked the then current
meaning of the word Jesus most commonly used for sin, and let the apostle
Paul define it as transgression of the law.
Relevance: The proper definition and understanding of sin
changes everything in our theological thinking about what Jesus was REALLY concerned with.
Article on Something Meaningful
Synopsis: A candid look at the issue of evolution versus
creation and show that before we can start to deal with what is meaningful,
we need more clarity in our thinking and definitions. This article,
published by Mensa, was the beginning of the IFISEEKUS thinking and paradigm
for the author.
Relevance: Endeavors to show why the term "Creator" must be
decoupled from the term "God".
The Problem of Evil
Synopsis: There have been a lot of arguments that the existence
of God and the existence of evil are incompatible, and many arguments that
attempt to reconcile the two. One solution that has been proposed is that
evil doesn't exist.
Relevance: All of this is very shallow, since the arguments
take place within the arena of the traditional paradigm of God, and wherein
an adequate definition of evil is not even provided.
The Judgment Dogma
Synopsis: Looks at the meaning of the word, the present
judgment, and the final judgment.
Relevance:
What About Death?
Synopsis: Some plain talk about Eros and Thanatos, fulfillment and
death, the two basic things–one positive, the other negative–that motivate people.
The article makes an important distinction between dying and death, showing
that it is the "dying" process that is so objectionable.
Relevance: Shows that if this is inevitable, it is incompatible
with the whole idea of a benevolent God.
The Criteria for Good News
Synopsis: We've heard a lot about the "Good News", but what make it so good?
Article looks at the legitimate criteria for the "news" to actually be good.
Relevance: A much needed perspective.
On Credibility of the Resurrection
Synopsis: A masterful article looking at pertinent information concerning the
credibility of this being tangible, historically real.
Relevance: Lots of things to consider before taking a position
on the historicity of the resurrection.
The Afterlife and Physicality
Synopsis: Without physicality there is no manifestation of spirituality. Jesus
affirmed our having bodies in every meaningful way.
Relevance: This helps put the lie to all systems of thinking
that physicality is an undesirable thing or that it is a perversion of the
original plan and reality.
Empowerment versus Natural Law
Synopsis: A consideration of some kind of balance between the two in a healed
reality, showing that having both is ideal.
Relevance:
Gradations of Grace
Synopsis: A look at the various types of "Grace" definitions.
Relevance: Designed to help sort out this swamp.
The Value of Idealism
Synopsis: Why are we cursed with this syndrome of idealism and
all but compelled to seek it or make it happen? Wouldn't it be good or
efficacious to eliminate or at least subdue the influence of our idealism?
Relevance: Idealism is the crux or the foundation for all that
is good: for honesty, honor, courage, compassion, mercy, nobility, etc. Without the
undergirding of idealism all of these virtues would be vitiated.
The Traditional Advent Fallacious
Synopsis: The collection of all the verses in the Gospels that are interpreted as
to refer to the traditional Second Advent, including the key Greek words and commentary.
Relevance: For centuries most of Christendom has been expecting
something that is NOT going to happen. It is long past time to understand
how this fallacy has taken hold, and to correct the vision of how the defeat
of evil on earth will really happen.
Spiritual Growth
Synopsis: Spiritual growth happens naturally WHEN we become spiritually
alive and ingest the proper spiritual food, i.e., the message of the great demonstrator.
Relevance: The focus should be on spiritual nutrition, not spiritual growth.
Brotherhood
Synopsis: Sometimes Jesus talked about our brothers and
sometimes about our neighbors, but brother and neighbors are NOT the same.
Relevance: Helps sort out this troublesome distinction.
"Born Again" and Nicodemus
Synopsis: A close look at the visit of Nicodemus account and the
words of Jesus concerning being "born again".
Relevance: A different and more meaningful interpretation of
what Jesus was saying to Nicodemus
Rich Young Ruler Account
Synopsis: A completely new take on what transpired, what was offered, and
what was missed.
Relevance: The article deals with the major issue of what God
wants from us, and what He is offering.
A Study on "Take Up Your Cross"
Synopsis: This phrase has been badly translated and interpreted, and the article
give good reasons for considering a much better understanding.
Relevance: Helps eliminate the burden of guilt over this
troublesome issue and its false interpretation.
Christianity and Gnosticism
Synopsis: Some observations on the comparison of Christianity and
Gnosticism, the other branch of religion that developed from the Jesus incident.
Relevance:
Defensive Theology
Synopsis: False arguments for false theological doctrines or positions.
Relevance: Exposes the weakness of these doctrines and their support.

Christology-Protology
Synopsis:
Relevance:
Gospel of Thomas is not Gnostic
Synopsis: Excellent quotes on why the conclusion that the Gospel of Thomas
is Gnostic is a shallow and untenable one.
Relevance: Eliminates the most common reason for dismissing the
eyewitness Gospel of Thomas as not important.
On Determinism and Foreknowledge
Synopsis: One of the most pernicious doctrines in Christian theology is the
teaching that god knows everything down to the minutest detail that will
ever happen in the future.
Relevance: Understanding this issue properly allows us to sort
out lots of confusion and falsity.
The Question of Blame and Guilt
Synopsis: Virtually every Christian denomination and sect lays
a burden of guilt upon its members, some a very heavy burden. Under this
widespread approach we are made to feel guilty for our ego problems and all
the attendant behavior that we use as coping mechanisms. Of course, we are
made to feel guilty about our erotic dimension, and this can be VERY
powerful and destructive. Some even go so far as to make one guilty–in the
eyes of the ever watching "Lord"–of eating between meals, dressing in a
displeasing manner, and even thoughts that come unbidden, etc., ad nauseam.
Relevance: We should all easily see that fear and guilt are
powerful motivators, and that those hawking products and services on
television use a fair amount of these. What is also true is that these are
the time honored tools of evangelists, preachers and proselytizers.
Why is God not More Involved?
Synopsis: A frank look at the evidence that God is not significantly involved in
the affairs of the world or Mankind.
Relevance: There MUSTbe an answer to this question, and we need to know it!
Major Theological Issue Differences
Synopsis: 29 major Christian Dogmas or Doctrines contradicted or not espoused
by the J-person where there is significant reason to believe differently.
Relevance: If these–any or all–are misguided, there is great
reason to rethink everything. Maybe that will lead to something other than
waiting for 2000 years?
Having a Consistent Theology
Synopsis: Highlighting some of the many inconsistencies of Christendom, and
delineating a more consistent approach..
Relevance:
Adam & Eve Allegory
Synopsis: A Garden of Eden allegory revealing what SHOULD have
happened when the couple ate the forbidden fruit.
Relevance: An important portrayal of the real God that Jesus
represented , revealed and demonstrated.
The Devil and Satan
Synopsis: Investigating the origin of the concepts of Satan, Iblis,
Devil, Samael, etc., and showing that these concepts had their ground in ancient
planet-god catastrophe.
Relevance:
The Meaning of Imminent
Synopsis: Getting clear on the meaning of the word "imminent".
Relevance:
Hebrew Romance Theology
Synopsis: Woven throughout the Old Testament is the theme that
God's people are his corporate bride. The centerpiece of this paradigm is
the Song of Solomon, but it is clearly in the story of Esther, the story of
David and Bathsheba, and the book of Hosea.
Relevance: This helps explain why the early Christians thought
of themselves as the bride of Christ.
Humanism versus Jesus
Synopsis: A comparison of Humanistic values and the values of Jesus, showing an
overwhelming overlap.
Relevance:
Quotes on Legalism
Synopsis: Some impactful, thought-provoking quotes on legalism.

Synopsis: A simple and direct challenge to the idea of us having a personal
relationship with Jesus.
Relevance: Corrects a major misunderstanding.
Punishment of God
Synopsis: A look at how God is ALWAYS involved with healing and
NEVER involved with punishment.
Relevance: Corrects a major misunderstanding.
The Awareness Level of "God"
Synopsis: A square look at the traditional doctrine that Jesus is up in Heaven
watching everything that we do.
Relevance:
The Agonizing, Praying Jesus
Synopsis: One sub-paradigm that is being
proposed by the IFISEEUS site is that "God" the Father is the corpus of
unfallen children (humans) in the greater universe, a universe over which
the Originator has delightfully ceded control to them. Jesus is sometimes
portrayed in the Gospel accounts as often withdrawing from earthly human
contact and agonizingly praying throughout the night. Christians assume that
he was seeking solace and strength from God to assuage his loneliness,
disappointment and frustration in dealing with the people, disciples and
others, with whom he was interacting.
Relevance: We should understand this activity of Jesus in a
more appropriate and meaningful way.
A perspective on Martyrdom
Synopsis: Dying for some other person's agenda, plan, will or
other external value or factor, or for that which you have been programmed
is martyrdom. We are not called to martyrdom.
Relevance: Explains that martyrdom is not part of Jesus' plan
for us, and why it is always a sign of misunderstanding.

Contrast of Believers
Synopsis: An extensive list of major issues and how the true believer
and the traditional believer differ in their attitude, approach and behavior.
Relevance:
Waiting for Godot
Synopsis: Samuel Beckett's acclaimed play is pretty clearly aimed at Christians
waiting for the Lord to come and solve all of their problems.
Relevance:
Why God Waits
Synopsis: This is a direct challenge to the doctrine of the second Advent or coming.
Relevance: This false doctrine keeps US waiting, so both parties are waiting.
Comments on Nicene Creed
Synopsis: The Nicene Creed, the foundation for Greek and Roman Catholic, and
general Orthodoxy is thought to be bedrock for Christendom.
Relevance:
Destiny of Man article
Synopsis: Man is not destined to achieve "singularity" or
"oneness"–that is, to absorb deity or be absorbed by deity. Man is not
destined to become a demigod or demiurge (a lesser god). Man is not
destined to endure repeated or cyclical reincarnations. Nor is man destined
for extinction or oblivion. Rather, through the presence of the risen
Christ, man is destined to become truly and fully human in collegial
fellowship with the human God and in relationship with all other human
beings, with oneself and with the universe.
Excellent material on law and legalism
Relevance: Remarkably, most of the advanced thinking in this
article agrees with that of this site.
The Gift of Miracles
Synopsis: What IS being dealt with here are the aspects and
issues surrounding the benevolent intervention of God in human affairs
today. The author believes that such benevolent interventions take place
ONLY in the life of the person who has put his life in the hands of God to
be led in seeking the truth and who is committed to believing the best
rational, logical, and reasonable vision of God that can come to his mind.
Relevance: Makes the case that most "Miracles" are a sham.
Site Theology ABCs
Synopsis: An article that delineates some of the basic questions and issues that a
proper theology must answer.
Relevance:
Who WAS Jesus?
Synopsis: Lays out the paradigm of creation and passion play in all its glory.
Relevance: Explains why the relationship of Jesus to the Father
and the Holy Spirit is crucial to fully understand what was at stake in his
coming to earth, living and dying down here.
Origin and Creation Issues
Violence of Nature
Synopsis: A candid look at the violence of
nature and its implications for ultimate issues.
Relevance:
Meaning of Evolution
Synopsis: Is it really true that "all life on
Earth has developed by evolution"? Yes, no, and maybe. It depends on what
meaning you assign to the protean word “evolution”.
Relevance:
Human
Devolution
Synopsis: An interview of Michael Cremo, the author of
Forbidden Archeology and Forbidden Archeology 's Impact, who lays out a case
with archeological evidence thatcurrent man is not at the pinnacle of
evolution, but has devolved from a previous higher state.
Relevance: The author of the IFISEEU site has not adopted the paradigm
proposed in the text nor the evolutionistic or uniformistic aspects of the framework,
but finds the study of the larger, more valid picture of human devolution and
the archaeological information that Cremo brings to be worthwhile. Indeed, the
extreme "Brahmanic" paradigm outlined by Cremo could be construed to be an example
of perverse human imagination run wild, yet accepted and believed by several
hundred million people on earth. The interview gives valid evidence and stark testimony
to the confusion and perversity that abounds in the fields of archeology and anthropology.

Mebane on Polygenesis
Synopsis: This Greek word originally denoted the
hypothesis that all life has descended from more than one original
ancestral species. We have recently discovered that, even for the simplest
microbes, Darwin’s "monogenesis" turns out to be impossible to verify.
Relevance:
Sequence of Earth Life Forms

Relevance:
Origin of "Star" Words
Synopsis: Throughout the whole range of the
Indo-European language group, the words for star are cognate, starting (!)
with the Sanskrit 'star' . It is clear that these words are also cognate
with many of the names (Ishtar, Astarte, Asherah, Ashteroth) of the goddess
identified with the planet Venus. The radiant Venus was at one time the only
star-shaped light visible in the sky, and the star-words may be derived from
the proper name rather than vice versa.

Memories of Plasma Discharge
Synopsis: What do oriental carpets, craters and
rilles, ancient mythology, rock art have to do with each other? Along with
others they are all pieces of evidence in a composite picture of catastrophe
in ancient times, and they are all related to plasma configurations seen in the sky.
Relevance:
Memories of Squatter Man
Synopsis: Many symbolic patterns around the
world can now be seen as variations of the global "squatter man" or "stick
man" first documented by plasma scientist Anthony Peratt. They are stylized
derivations of a plasma discharge configuration seen in the ancient sky.
Relevance:
Chinese Longevity Symbol
Synopsis: This symbol is a stylized version of
the "squatter man" and is related to longevity because this plasma discharge
formation lasted the longest in the series seen in the ancient sky.
Relevance:
Astral Origin of Symbols
Synopsis: The powerful symbols that were
produced in the sky during the end-phase of the Golden Age include all the
major religious ones–the cross, swastika, star of David, yin yang,, star and
crescent, the Ankh–and many others that are global in scope.
Relevance:
Geophysical Issues
Origin of Modern Geology
Synopsis: Indeed, what is extraordinary about
the London Geological Society is that none of the original members were
geologists. This is the group that introduced the pillars of modern
Geological theory of gradualism, uniformism, and evolutionism. This was done
clearly in an effort to defang the oppressive "moral" influence of the
Church of England by discrediting creationism.
Relevance:
Origin of Grand Canyon I,
Origin of Grand Canyon II
Synopsis: I-The surface of the earth presents
many problems for geologists, not the least of which is that the Grand
Canyon is supposed to have been formed by the Colorado River. As recently as
about a dozen and a half years ago geologists were working with four
different and mutually exclusive models of the canyon's creation. At a
special meeting they managed to winnow the four theories down to two–neither
one of them satisfactory–with more than one reason to refute them both. One
geologist noted that the only way the Colorado River could have carved the
canyon is if it came out of the sky!
II-The Grand Canyon's tributaries are generally short with little evidence
of the necessary water flowing into the ends from the high desert floor. The
jagged tributaries are deeply cut and are characterized by nearly vertical
walls. They join the main canyon at right angles, a distinctive sign of
electric discharge phenomena.
Relevance: The canyon overwhelmingly indicates an Electrical
Discharge machining formation, and the dates assigned to it are meaningless.
It serves as a model for many or most of the world's river valley systems as
being electrical scars in the first place.
Great Chicago Fire I,
Great Chicago Fire II,
Great Chicago Fire III
Synopsis: The common myth is that Mrs. O'leary's cow kicked
over a lantern and started a barn fire that got out of control in Chicago.
How did a city wood fire burn an area half the size of Oregon, kill
2000 people 200 miles away, and melt brick and stone. No, it was caused by a
piece of comet coming in overhead and discharging elecrically.
Relevance: Shows how the press and the public are in denial,
and trivialize major catastrophes.
Sahara Desertification
Synopsis: One of the most striking climate
changes of the past 11,000 years caused the abrupt desertification of the
Saharan and Arabia regions midway through that period. The resulting loss of
the Sahara to agricultural pursuits may be an important reason that
civilizations were founded along the valleys of the Nile, the Tigris, and
the Euphrates. Green glass found in the Sahara and at Hadley's Rille on the
Moon gives a clue. A Wal Thornhill article.
Relevance: Helps show that northern Africa was buried in extra-terrestrial sand.
Niagara Falls Escarpment
Synopsis: The Niagara Escarpment can be seen as
being part of a larger system of electrical scarring. The articles details
why the prevailing explanations are not valid.

Modern Myth Articles
Academia's Modern Mythology
Synopsis: An ancient mythology is not a system based on fiction
nor is it a system of factual history, but IS a highly "spiritually
stylized" cultural story based on actual events and entities. Unfortunately,
unhappily, tragically, maybe one could say almost naturally or inevitably
for the intellectually irresponsible, spiritually careless humans, the
pristine and stunning revelation of Jesus got amalgamated with the
prevailing mythologies of the various cultures then extant, especially
Judaism and the Greek mystery religions.
Relevance: Showcases the amalgamation of ancient myth and Christendom.
Academia's Reifications
Synopsis: Deals with reification of nothingness, time, space,
magnetic field lines, and energy.
Relevance: Reifications are damaging to our conceptual framework.

Astral Catastrophist Pioneers
Synopsis: There is a long list of scholars who have picked up the scent and followed the trail of ancient
catastrophism and a radically different ancient world than what modern mythology would have us accept.
Relevance: Show that over and over again, different men have
picked up the trail of ancient catastrophes.

The Great Pyramid
Synopsis: From the more habitable regions of the Northern
Hemisphere, the polar column generally looked like a stepped pyramid. This
appearance was no doubt the fundamental driving force for the building of
these iconic monumental structures.
Relevance: The astounding aspects of the Great Pyramid strongly
imply the ancient people had skills and technology that does NOT fit the
modern mythology of the ancients.
Importance of Catastrophism
Synopsis:
Relevance:
The Origins of Modern Geology
Synopsis: The group that formed the London Geological Society, none of which were
geologists, had an unscientific agenda, an anti-religious one. This led to the formation of
modern geology theory based on the introduction of gradualism, uniformism and
evolutionism to contrast with Biblical creationism.
Relevance: Within the light of the Electric Universe paradigm
for geology, this show how far afield otherwise respectable and sober minded
men can get with the wrong agenda.
Parable about Electromagnetism
Synopsis: A fable analogy about fish finally admitting they swim in water.
Relevance: A good analogy about Electro-magnetism not being appreciated by science.
Foreword - Pythagoras' Trousers
Synopsis: "Physics, I came to see, had always been a
quasi-religious activity." "Hadn't religious faith always been an impediment
to scientific reason? Hadn't it always been so? On the contrary, physics
must be seen as a "priestly" science, a discipline that throughout history
has been informed as much by theological as by scientific inspiration"
Relevance: A stunningly good overview of the development of
science, its role in society, and its roots in, and it's correlation to, religion.
Scientific Method, thoughts on
Synopsis:
Relevance:
Science, Nonsense, & David Stove
Synopsis: An in-depth look at philosophy of science and its
practical outcome..
Relevance: Forty years after Snow's diagnosis, the hope that
science studies would help bridge the divide between the "Two Cultures" has
been turned on its head. As the Sokal hoax and the evidence produced by
Gross and Levitt demonstrate, much of science studies is now a site not of
enlightenment about its subject matter but of political demagoguery,
theoretical obfuscation and plain ignorance.
The Religion of Scientism
Synopsis: An in-depth look at the "new" religion of Scientism,
showing how and why it has almost all of the bad aspects of the other
religions without any of the good, and is "detrimental to both science and religion".
Relevance: Makes the case that the Foundation of Science is
theology, yet that true science leaves behind the automatic acceptance of
truth that comes from tradition, myth, merely creative and/or “god-inspired” sources.
Some Science Myths
Synopsis: A dozen science myths that involve major aspects:
Relativity, constant speed of light, absence of aether, random radioactive
decay rate, validity of radiometric dating, niversal constant of gravity,
solar internal nuclear fusion, redshift equals difference, circlar craters
caused by impact, canyons, rilles and river beds caused by erosion,
anthropological global warming and climate change.
Relevance: These myths are causing untold confusion in science
and expense in the affairs that it impacts.
The Einstein
Genius Myth
Synopsis: "When we actually examine the life of Albert
Einstein, we find that his only brilliance lay in his ability to plagiarize
and steal other people's ideas, passing them off as his own." The

Warped Space-Time
Synopsis: The article illustrates the egregiously warped and
intellectually irresponsible stance of much of mainstream science.
Relevance: However, there are many more sober-minded scientists
that eschew this mystical approach, and some that realize the whole Einstein
validation and popularity affair was a scandal of great magnitude.
Misc Ancient Myth Articles
The One Ancient Story
Synopsis: An article by David Talbott showing ancient peoples
narrated and re-enacted the one story in a thousand ways, but when the core
is exposed, it comes down to this:
"Once the world was quite a different place. In the
beginning, we were ruled by the central luminary of the sky–creator,
primeval sun-god, and father of kings–presiding over an age of natural
abundance and cosmic harmony. This was the exemplary epoch, the Golden Age,
a standard of justice and prosperity invoked by all later generations.
"But the ancient order fell into confusion when the king of
the world tumbled from his celebrated station. Then the hordes of chaos were
set loose and all creation slipped into a cosmic night, the gods themselves
battling furiously in the heavens.
"And yet, from this descent into chaos a new and reconfigured
world emerged, and the universal sovereign, rejuvenated and transformed,
assumed his rightful place in heaven."
Relevance: This is the synopsis of the ancient story told around the world.
Avoiding Reductionism
Synopsis: An article by David Talbott about human nature and
the Saturnian Ritual and avoiding reductionism, explaining how the Saturnian
Model is NOT reductionist, but rather a foundation for understanding the
ancient times and myths.
Relevance: Reductionism is a fatal error for understanding.
Patterns of Human Memory
Synopsis: David Talbott explains that the only issue logically
is the predictive power of the Saturn model in relation to the substructure
as a whole. Taken as a whole, the global patterns do not just suggest
certain external events, they REQUIRE them...
Relevance: Once one is willing to consider ALL verifiable
patterns, it will become clear that they are all connected to each other,
that they are entirely consistent with each other, and that, from top to
bottom, they explicitly and flagrantly contradict all patterns in our sky
today. Had the planetary forms not appeared in the ancient sky, such
detailed and coherent patterns simply could not be there.
Science
of Comparative Myth
Synopsis: Ev Cochrane article. "Comparative
mythology, in addition to being the proper starting point of any successful
exegesis of myth, is also the most crucial step in the analytic process. It
must always take precedence over actual planetary identifications"
Relevance: Explains the importance of the comparative approach.
Myth Reconstruction
Ground Rules
Synopsis: It is possible that that our ancestors witnessed
things unknown to science, events that could force a revision in scientific
understanding. An article by David Talbott explaining the Ground Rules for
Reconstructing Ancient Events.
Relevance: The ground rules have to be solid and consistent.
The Importance of Myth
Synopsis: there's a very good reason to care about myth,
even though myth as a whole may seem to speak a language too obscure for
rational, feet-on-the-ground folk. Myth is, I believe, a window to early
human history, a more intense period of history than we've realized. The
myths have their roots in a time of celestial catastrophe, and more often
than not the appearance of confusion results from viewing myth as something
other than what it is.
Relevance: The point cannot be overstressed.
The Meaning of Myth
Synopsis: Ev Cochrane explains why anyone should
care about the message of ancient myth. The most obvious reason, perhaps, is
that myth served the role of history, science, literature, and entertainment
for many centuries prior to the appearance of advanced civilizations and the
development of writing. A study of ancient myth, consequently, will tell us
a great deal about the intellectual life of early man.
Relevance: It is crucial that we understand the meaning of myth.
Plausibility of Myth
Synopsis: David Talbott explains that the Saturn theory
suggests events and natural forces contrary to almost everything believed by
the scientific mainstream, and why it is ever so plausible despite this.
Relevance: The planetary catastrophe connection to ancient my
th is MORE plausible than many science mainstream propositions.
Reliability of Myth as Witness
Synopsis:
Relevance:
Myth as Foundation
Synopsis: David Talbott explains that it is the cosmic or
celestial myths that are the substructure annd that can be recovered through
comparative mythology; and that the localization of these myths is
responsible for much of the diffusion and fragmentation into a welter of confusing variations.
Relevance: Gives the necessary perspective to understand the
confusing variations of the myths.
Mythological Archetypes
Synopsis: David Talbott writes: "There is also a deeper level
of analysis available; one almost never expressed in popular treatments of
the archetypes. the claim is that the real obstacle to deeper insights is
the one that will prevent an investigator from seeing what will ultimately
become obvious. The archetypes did not originate in today's natural world.
Nor did they emerge from a vacuum. They arose as the effect of a prior
cause. A prior cause in a natural order that disappeared thousands of years
ago."
Relevance: A list of two dozen common mythological archetypes as per David Talbott
From Myth to Model
Synopsis: David Talbott explains that the goal is to
reconstruct an unknown past on the basis of pervasive images and
pictures–historical evidence that finds no reference in the natural order
today. Through comparative analysis and cross-referencing, one must seek out
the observed patterns, for it is these patterns that provide the foundation
of a systematic inquiry.
Relevance: The patterns must drive the derivation of the model.
Logic of Historical Evidence
Synopsis: David Talbott explains that nothing is more
fundamental to the reconsideration of planetary history than a
rigorously-developed comparative approach to human testimony, not even much
of accepted science. If ancient people saw it, experienced it, modern science
cannot come along and say it never happened. Much of cosmology and
astrophysics has been developed with a false "gravity-only" paradigm,
without understanding the Electric Universe and plasma physics.

Memories of Planetary Upheaval
Synopsis: A David Talbott article. It seems that a great gulf
stands between the textbook profile of the planets and the descriptions
given by the first sky-worshippers. What was it about these planetary specks
that so preoccupied our ancestors, or prompted such pervasive fears? Often
violent, the Wars of the Gods not only disturb the heavens but threaten to
destroy humankind. The planets wield weapons of thunder and fire and stone.
Relevance: But now, having lived for millennia beneath a
tranquil sky, we are deceived by appearances.

A case for Atlantis
Synopsis: An attempt to look at all the relevant passages from
ancient literature from the various cultures around the world that refer to
Atlantis or to which can be construed as Atlantis. The conclusion that
Atlantis was the region or islands of Indonesia is too narrow.
Relevance: Like so many other articles this one
contains a wealth of information, most of which is valid, and which with
some caveats can be put into proper perspective. It is useful or helpful to
understand that the term "Atlantis" was used by the ancients to refer to the
previous "world" or aspects of it as it was during the Golden Age, and not
to refer exclusively or generally to a certain geographical locale. Thus
"Atlantis" when sought as a literal region or territory on the globe is
always/never found.

Catastrophe-Psychological Effects
Cosmology and Psychology
Synopsis: Somewhere between the infinite reaches of outer
space–the Cosmos–and the labyrinthine recesses of the human mind–the Cosmos
Within–lie two of Mankind's most profound psychological and emotional
creations–Myth and Religion. Together, they have served man's basic need to
bridge the known and the unknown, the finite and the immeasurable, the
tangible and the intangible.
Relevance: The significance of the origin of myth and religion
remains for most scholars tantalizingly elusive and continues to provide one
of the most intriguing problems in the study of man; yet it is of the utmost importance.
Phobia, Amnesia, and Psyche
Synopsis: It is a psychological phenomenon in the life of
individuals as well as whole nations that the most terrifying events of the past
may be forgotten or displaced into the subconscious mind. As if obliterated are
impressions that should be unforgettable. To uncover their vestiges and their
distorted equivalents in the physical life of peoples is a task not unlike that
of overcoming amnesia in a single person.
Relevance: Mankind is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder, guilt, denial, and amnesia due to the catastrophes of the past.
Psychological healing cannot take place until these issues are remembered and addressed.
Catastrophe, Collective Trauma
Synopsis:
Relevance:
Microcosm to Macrocosm
Synopsis: Two events of the mid-twentieth century–the birth of
the Atomic Age and the revelation of cosmic catastrophes in historical times–have
caused and should cause mankind to reassess his terrestrial position and chances
of survival. The article contains a review of the salient aspects of the atomic
development and destruction rained down on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Relevance: A look at the fearful symmetry of astral
catastrophism and the atomic warfare that took place.
Theomachy in the Theater
Synopsis: Drawing parallels between the ancient catastrophes
with their effects upon man, and the nuclear holocaust suffered by Japan and the
popularity of the stream of banal monster beast movies coming from that culture.
Relevance: So far as we are aware, no Japanese studio has yet
produced a film dealing explicitly with either the atomic destruction.
These are symptoms of cultural amnesia and denial.
Myth and Mandala
Synopsis: Recent information concerning the universal natural
development in children's art of the mandala design, a symbol identified
by Jung as a major archetypal motif of the collective unconscious, offers a
psychobiological alignment which may trace to ancient global catastrophe.
Relevance: In relating catastrophism to psychology and
particularly to the origins for unconscious motifs proposed by Freud and
Jung, Velikovsky briefly suggests that experiences of cosmic events may have
become embedded in the "unconscious or subconscious strata of the mind" and
from there continue to influence behavior.
Schizo-World Destruction
Synopsis: It is widely known that the Aztecs of Mexico
experienced great anxiety each time a 52-year Venus-cycle neared its
completion. But what, precisely, was it that they were afraid of?
Relevance: In looking into this matter, we find enormous clues
as to what happened in the past and its effect upon the human race.
Velikovsky-New Science
Synopsis: Those historians and social scientists who began to
realize that a universal and inter-related science of man was becoming a
necessity of thought, if the nature of man was ever to be known, found that
Giambattista Vico had made precisely this claim two centuries before. Vico
insisted that, if a full history and understanding of man was to be known,
the myths of earlier times ought to be taken seriously as themselves
accounts of the actual history of those times.
Relevance: This also Velikovsky claims, while standing on
the shoulders of many catastrophist researchers.
The Tao, the Way
Synopsis: The "Tao, the Way–the basic Chinese belief in
an order and harmony in nature is probably very close to what Western Man refers
to when he mentions natural law. This grand concept originated in remote times.
Relevance: This article sheds even more light on the ancient
catastrophes and their effects upon Mankind.
The Sin Control System
Synopsis: Since uniformitarian scholars do not believe in
cataclysms and in the cosmic origins of religions, they can seldom catch a
religion at the precise moment of its inception, but are forever condemned
to begin their study at some point far down the line, after the
transmogrifications of time have converted the object of their study into a
veritable mishmash.
Relevance: Our ancestors believed that it was through their
incorrect behavior that they had brought the catastrophes upon
themselves, and through this guilt comes the possibility of great psychological control.
Sin Control & Holocaust
Synopsis: A look at the Nazi holocaust and the connection to
the sin control system.
Relevance: Just as Velikovsky's ideas have come to be confirmed
by some contemporary data, it is also possible to validate Myers'
derivations on the origin and psychology of religion through the Nazi
holocaust–the extermination of the Jewish population of German-occupied
Europe, and the subsequent historicizing of this event.
The Great Terror
Synopsis: A clue to types of regimes existing in very ancient
times could come from the fact of an unstable natural order. There is
certainly no gainsaying that terror plays a decisive role in the shaping of
present day life.
Relevance: This extensive article lays the foundation for the
association of the ancient legalistic oppression and the reign of terror
delivered by the Venusian catastrophes, and between Satan or the Devil and
the "Red One" .
Venus-Mars Myth
The Star of Dawn
Synopsis: The Star of Dawn is merely a different designation
for that celestial object which has gone down in the mytho-historical
records of various ancient nations as the Morning Star, which entity is
usually identified as the planet Venus.
Relevance: An in-depth dissertation sorting out the issues of
Mars and Venus as the Morning Star.
Velikovsky & Catastrophe
Synopsis: At the heart of Velikovsky's thesis was a seemingly
outrageous idea. He claimed that planets, moving on quite different
courses than observed today, formerly disturbed the motions of the Earth and
caused great destruction to ancient nations. These extraordinary events,
Velikovsky claimed, are recorded in ancient chronicles, myths and rites
around the world, sources that are simply incomprehensible in terms of
celestial motions today.
Relevance: If Velikovsky was as wrong on the fundamentals as
critics would have us believe, then nothing could be more wasteful than
spending any time at all on the subject. But if Velikovsky was even close
in his discernment of planetary instability and catastrophe, he is one of
the true intellectual pioneers of the twentieth century.

Terrifying Glory of Venus
Synopsis: Observations concerning Athena's equation with the
central "star" of Venus depicted in the illustration. In this phase of the
evolving configuration, Venus stands visually in the center of the gas giant
Saturn, discharging luminous streams of material in every direction.
Relevance: Article showcases ten testable mythical forms of Venus.
The Warrior Athena
Synopsis: The subject is the central "star" of Venus, seen in
the center of the gas giant Saturn, with luminous streamers radiating from
Venus to spread visually across the much larger sphere of Saturn. In the
previous article, "The Terrifying Glory of Venus, is presented a list of
mythical attributes attached to this unique form. It is the contention not
only that these forms are essential to the Venus or goddess-archetype, but
that no comprehension of the archetype is even possible apart from the
explicit contexts suggested in this illustration.
Relevance: Article illustrates a significant principle of
methodology in the proper interpretation of ancient mythology in regard to
the Saturnian Reconstruction.
The Birth of Vahagn
Synopsis: The pre-Christian Armenian pantheon was an amalgam of
various religious concepts drawn from among those of the people around them.
There was one figure, however, who was peculiarly Armenian; a national god,
as it were, known as Vahagn. In the Armenian sources which have come
down to us, Vahagn appears both as a national hero and as a god of war.
Relevance: Article sorts out the issues and shows that Vahagn
was not Mars but Venus.
Many Faces of Venus
Synopsis: Ev Cochrans's introduction to is book The Many
Faces of Venus show us that we should maintain a healthy skepticism with
respect to astronomers' current "best guesses" as to what is possible
regarding Venus' recent history.
Relevance: A solid piece of scholarship supporting planetary catastrophism.
Mercury as Tower of Babel
Synopsis: The builders of the Tower of Babel, according to some
sources, were motivated by the fear of a world conflagration. The tradition
that fire from heaven destroyed the tower is also a feature of some of the
Meso-American accounts.
Relevance: An article revealing the connection between Hermes
(Mercury or Mars) and the Tower of Babel accounts.
Cosmology Material
Galactic Rotation
Synopsis: Article showing that galaxies revolve
primarily as a whole around the axis versus by the individual parts around a
center of mass.
Relevance: Indicates that Galaxies primarily are electrical
structures, and that gravity plays a lesser role.
Globular Clusters
Synopsis: Article showing that stars in a
cluster do not revolve around a center and are held in place by electrical forces.
Relevance: Indicates that Globular Clusters are stable static electrical structures.
Religious Big Bang
Synopsis: Article showing that the Big Bang is
religiously derived, and is a scientifically unwarranted paradigm.
Relevance: Steady-state theories and the growing universe of
Halton Arp seem to be incompatible with scripture.
Cosmologists: Wrong or Blind?
Synopsis: The Electric Universe (EU) raises a scandalous question: How could
millions of intelligent, conscientious astronomers for centuries have
been wrong? They didn’t just overlook a few details, they missed the entire picture.
Relevance: The premise is that cosmologists need to change the
paradigm.
Quasar in Front
Synopsis: One of the two major pillars of the big bang is
that redshift is proportional to distance.

The Fingers of God
Synopsis: The big bang theory predetermines the size, the shape
and the age of the universe (according to the latest satellite data, it is
an expanding sphere 78 billion light years in diameter and 13.7 billion
years old.) Because astronomers believe that redshift is a measure of
distance, most of the distances of millions of galaxies, quasars, and gamma
ray bursts have been distorted into "fingers" that point to the earth.
Relevance: A different interpretation of redshift will imply a
much different universe. Halton Arp's research shows that redshift cannot be
a measure of distance.
Gravity Probes & Error Probes
Synopsis:
Relevance:
Redshift Rosetta Stone
Synopsis: Chinese astronomer, Yoaquan Chu, discovered five
high-redshift quasars even closer to NGC 3516 than the BL Lac. Not only were
these five quasars (plus the original BL Lac) distributed along the galaxy's
spin axis, but their redshifts were ordered–the highest redshifts closest to
the Seyfert galaxy. This added valuable information about how quasars evolve
into normal low-redshift galaxies. For that, Arp called this the Rosetta
Stone of intrinsic redshift.
Relevance: Solid information that a big part of redshift can be
"intrinsic", and NOT related to velocity or distance.
Relativity & Einstein Tragedy
Synopsis: Article about the falsity of the
theories of "Relativity", and the tragedy that Einstein felt responsible for
the development of atomic weaponry and its WWII use.
Relevance: It helps to know the history.
Dent in Space-Time Fabric?
Synopsis: An article showing the enormous conglomeration of
speculations about the sporadic X-ray emissions from GRO J1655-40
Relevance: An article challenging black holes and the reality
of the Space-Time continuum.
Nature & Definition of Space
Synopsis: New paradigm philosophical article on
the nature of what we mean by the word "space". Currently, "space" is
reified by scientist-speculators as an actual physical reality instead of a
mental construct such as zero or infinity.
Relevance: Article shows that space is in
the universe instead of the universe being in space.
The Neutrino Aether
Synopsis: New paradigm
philosophical article on why accepting an aether is axiomatic, and why the
EU thinking is that it is composed of all but empty basic packets of matter
called neutrinos, with a vanishingly small amount of internal mass/energy and dipolarity.
Relevance: This is an old but key issue in the arena of
cosmology, and accepting an aether eliminates much mysticism.
The Nature of Force Fields
Synopsis: New paradigm philosophical article on
the concrete material support for "force fields", and a simple and elegant
explanation for why the force intensity falls off with some factor of distance.
Relevance: Eliminates the mysticism surrounding force fields
and provides a conceptual model of how they work.
Stars: Nuclear or Electric?
Synopsis: "The certainty that the Sun generates its prodigious
outpourings of energy through thermonuclear reactions deep in its interior
has been with us for about half a century." [Juergens 1979]. But, there are
many reasons to doubt this presently accepted theory of how our Sun (and
every other star) generates its radiant energy.
Relevance: There are at least five major things wrong with this scenario.
Big Bang "Science"
Synopsis: At the heart of conventional cosmology lies the dogma
of an electrically neutral universe governed by gravity alone. Without the
benefit of this dogma, the Big Bang hypothesis could never have achieved its
present prominence. And it is here that we see most clearly how, under the
necessities of funding, scientists are eager to “confirm” a theory that,
according to many critics, has already failed.
Relevance: It is apparent that fabricated good news is essential to
the funding of exotic projects.
Star Sqashes Cosmology
Synopsis:
Relevance:
Wings of a Butterfly
Synopsis: In the electric universe cosmology, explosions, dying
stars, and collisions are replaced by plasma phenomena for the production of
such beautiful and intricate structures as the Butterfly Nebula.
Relevance: Beautiful yet stark evidence of an electric universe
and electric stars.
The Bug Nebula
Synopsis: Plasmas in the lab
form cellular structures separated by thin layers of opposite charge called
double layers. The same thing happens in nebulas.
Relevance: Indicates that nebulas are plasma structures with
some form of the hourglass shape, not explosion debris.
The Bullet Cluster
Synopsis: Optical and x-ray images of the galaxy cluster named
1E0657-56 have provided direct proof that these clumps of disturbed galaxies
are small, faint, and nearby. These and many similar observations directly
contradict the foundational assumptions of the Big Bang, which place the objects far away.
Relevance: These findings are incompatible with the Big Bang Theory.
Dark Matter
Synopsis: In the 1930s, astronomers Fritz Zwicky and Sinclair
Smith were puzzled by the motions they observed within the Virgo and Coma
galactic clusters. Everything seemed to be moving too fast to be held in
place by gravity. So they conjectured that something they could not see was
exerting a gravitational effect on these clusters.
Relevance: Since there is no experimental or observable
evidence that dark matter exists, it is just a prop for the beleaguered big bang theory.
Meaning of Deep Impact
Synopsis: The picture has changed completely with the discovery of
plasma and electricity in space. But somehow, due to the nature of education and
research funding today, the original guesses about comets were permitted to harden into ideology.
Relevance: It is now well documented that every scientist
associated with the project was stunned by the energetic outburst generated
by the impact. The energy of the impact implies electric discharge from a solid body
Deep Impact Anniversary
Synopsis: The Thunderbolts Group proponents of the Electric Universe
(EU) model predicted on December 6, 2004 that the Deep Impact mission would signal
the demise of prevailing
comet theory. Extensive specific and detailed predictions were published on July 3, 2005
before the impact and these predictions and the results can be seen.
Relevance: Most of the
predictions hit the mark. This first anniversary of the Deep Impact Space
Mission is an appropriate time to cast a backward glance upon the state of
comet science and to contrast it with the EU understanding.
Electric Lights of Saturn
Synopsis: Conventional
astrophysicists persist in describing auroras with meteorological metaphors
instead of seeing them in electrical activity terms.
Relevance: The discovery of electric currents everywhere in space
makes the meteorological vocabulary of astrophysicists obsolete and inadequate.
EU Discharges & Scars
Synopsis: A universe that is 99% plasma requires a new vision
of electrical connectivity–galaxies, stars, nebulas, invisible
“double layers”–joined by webs of
circuitry.
Relevance: Such a universe also demands that we reconsider all
prior beliefs about the evolution of planetary surfaces and the nature of
atmospheric phenomena on planets and on the Sun.
Gamma Ray Bursters
Synopsis: While the gamma rays
are produced for only a few seconds, many of these events can be identified
by their afterglow in X-ray, visible light and radio waves. These are often
associated with galaxies at great distances. Astronomers describe them as
the biggest explosions in the universe.
Relevance: The estimated size
of a gamma ray burst depends on its distance from earth. Redshift=distance
makes some if not all gamma ray bursts impossibly energetic.
Olber's Paradox
Synopsis: The apparent intensity of a light source decreases
with the square of its distance from the observer. If the distribution of
stars is uniform in space, then the number of stars at a particular
distance, r, from the observer will be proportional to the surface area of a
sphere whose radius is that distance. In an infinite universe, if we sum
(integrate) the light coming from all the infinite number of possible values
of r, the sky should be infinitely bright.
Relevance: Olber's Paradox is not a paradox at all if you look
at it correctly. It is yet another example of theoretical mathematics
applied incorrectly to a real world phenomenon.
Impossible Cosmology
Synopsis: There are a few things that
were “impossible” under popular assumptions that held sway through much of
the twentieth century. The electric universe paradigm is explaining these impossibilities.
Relevance: Theoretical assumptions
will always be a part of scientific inquiry. They ground what is thought to
be impossible. But new discoveries often surprise us with possibilities that
require different assumptions.
Local Group Galaxies
Synopsis: What can we "see"
about the Local Group of galaxies now that "redshift- equals-distance" does
not override observations? We can see that the Local Group stretches in a
line along the minor axis of M31, the Andromeda galaxy, which is the
dominant galaxy in the group.
Relevance: Observations show that the redshift=distance
hypothesis cannot be correct.
Magnetar Dream World
Synopsis: A magnetar is an invention derived from a computer,
not something actually seen in the sky. From 50,000 light years away and for
a tenth of a second, the most energetic burst ever detected momentarily
outshone the full moon. So astronomers asked a computer if it could produce
something like this extraordinary event using a model based only on the
forces of gravity and magnetism.
Relevance: The computer program hummed and churned, initially
constructing a picture of a highly magnetized and rapidly spinning "neutron
star" or "pulsar". To explain the rapid pulsations, the computer
extrapolated normal rotation rates of star-sized bodies down to objects
compressed to a few kilometers diameter. And it was programmed with an
additional unwarranted speculation. All of ths is mere simulation based upon
faulty cosmology.
The Ornament Nebula
Synopsis: Gravity Universe proponents describe a star that
exhausted its thermonuclear fuel and exploded and blasted its outer layers
into a rarified interstellar gas, generating a spherical shock waves
formation. Electric Universe proponents describe an hourglass-shaped z-pinch
in a galactic Birkeland cable–a tubular configuration of current filaments
rotating around an axis, where in this case we are looking "down the
barrel". Such a configuration is the “wiring harness” of all stars, which is
usually invisible.
Relevance: It helps to know that astrophysicists are looking
for spheres because, at that distance, everything looks flat to the human
eye. They don’t see depth, and it is constructed from the assumptions and
calculations of the prevailing theory. It also helps to know that they’re
looking for hot gas because, at that distance, they can’t stick a
thermometer into it. Temperature is constructed similarly to depth. So it is
with most of the other elements of the description.
Plasma 99-9%
Synopsis: Given that over 99.9% of the universe is made of
plasma, it is high time that we began to realize that plasmas are affected
by electromagnetic forces 1039 times greater than the force of gravity.
Relevance: If you don't know the basic properties of plasmas,
then you might not understand the properties of most of the universe.
The Pleiades Problem
Synopsis: The Hipparcos satellite measured the distance to 50
of the brightest stars in the Pleiades and came up with a distance of 118
parsecs from Earth. Previous distance measurements–some based on
brightness–converged around the value of 132 parsecs. That's a significant
difference; about 12%, or almost 3 quadrillion miles.
Relevance: The question we need to ask is how the electric
currents of a cluster of stars are different from those of single stars.
With many stars to share a current, will the individual stars seem brighter
or dimmer than their non-clustered neighbors? Will the double stars in a
cluster orbit each other under the influence of a different gravitational
constant?
Arp's Quasar Ejection
Synopsis: A recently published study adds one more layer of
supporting evidence for Astronomer Halton Arp's model of Quasars ejection
along the axis of parent galaxies. The discovered association can only come
as another surprise to theorists of the Big Bang.
Relevance: More and more findings that challenge the assumption
that redshift=distance.
Nature of Ring Nebula
Synopsis: The Ring
Nebula has long been a favorite object of amateur astronomers and has been
considered the prototypical planetary nebula. Until recently, the accepted
explanation for its appearance, based on the standard theory of stellar
structure and evolution, has been that they are actualy edges of spherical shells.
Relevance: The Electric Universe explanation is that we are looking almost down the axis of an
hourglass-shaped plasma structure, and the density of the cylinder gives a ring-like appearance.
Seeing Red Review
Synopsis: With this new book, the Big Bang theory is seen at
best to be theoretical flatulence, at worst it is an indictment of academic
behavior and the way science is done these days.
Relevance: From this paradigm shattering data, Arp proposes
that the Universe we see is much smaller than advertised because high
redshift has little to do with distance.
Tornadoes in Space I,
Tornadoes in Space II
Synopsis: With the discovery
of Herbig Haro objects, or “jetted stars”, astronomers have scrambled for
explanations. But these stars, now observed by the hundreds, only accent a
common and fundamental misunderstanding of space.
Relevance: Astronomers express great astonishment at such formations.
Gravitational models featured in twentieth century astronomy never envisioned
narrow jets of anythingstreaming away from stellar bodies. Neither
gravity nor standard gas laws would allow it.
Star Fairy Ring
Synopsis: The first fairy dances a fantasy of
Redshift-is-Proportional-to-Distance, overlooking half a century of contrary
evidence. That puts the ring far away. For the ring to appear as bright
as it does, a second fairy must dance a pas de deux of
Super Luminosity. To get that much energy from the feeble force
of gravity, a third fairy must support the others with the Dance of Great Mass.
Relevance: The mainstream explanation for this ring of stars is a fantasy.
Ring of Stars
Synopsis: Although black holes are entirely constructed from
theoretical assumptions, they are no longer questioned in conventional astronomy.
Relevance: The plasma focus effect, which can be studied
in a laboratory, better accounts for the cosmic effects attributed to black holes.
Search for Two Numbers
Synopsis: Astronomy's obsessive search for the two numbers–the
Hubble Constant and the age of the universe–is based upon an unwarranted
assumption, i.e., redshift equals distance.
Relevance: The Electric Universe paradigm makes these two numbers irrelevant.
Vampire Astronomy
Synopsis: A complex central
network of filamentary structure spirals down to the center of the galaxy.
Astronomers say it provides new insights into super-massive black holes.
Relevance: It is more likely
that it demonstrates electrical effects instead of a black hole.
