The main ideas formulated by Velikovsky (from wikipedia)

Velikovsky searched for common mention of events within literary records, and in the Ipuwer Papyrus he believed he had found a contemporary Egyptian account of the Plagues of Egypt. Moreover, he interpreted both accounts as descriptions of a great natural catastrophe. Velikovsky attempted to investigate the physical cause of these events, and extrapolated backwards and forwards in history from this point, cross-comparing written and mythical records from cultures on every inhabited continent, using them to attempt synchronisms of the historical records, yielding what he believed to be further periodic natural catastrophes that can be global in scale.

He arrived at a body of radical inter-disciplinary ideas, which might be summarised as:

• Planet Earth has suffered natural catastrophes on a global scale, both before and during humankind’s recorded history.
• There is evidence for these catastrophes in the geological record (here Velikovsky was advocating Catastrophist ideas as opposed to the prevailing Uniformitarian notions) and archeological record. The extinction of many species had occurred catastrophically, not by gradual Darwinian means.
• The catastrophes that occurred within the memory of humankind are recorded in the myths, legends and written history of all ancient cultures and civilisations. Velikovsky pointed to alleged concordances in the accounts of many cultures, and proposed that they referred to the same real events. For instance, the memory of a flood is recorded in the Hebrew Bible, in the Greek legend of Deucalion, and in the Manu legend of India. Velikovsky put forward the psychoanalytic idea of “Cultural Amnesia” as a mechanism whereby these literal records came to be regarded as mere myths and legends.
• The causes of these natural catastrophes were close encounters between the Earth and other bodies within the Solar System — not least what are now the planets Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, and Mars, these bodies having moved upon different orbits within human memory.
• To explain the fact that these changes to the configuration of the Solar System violate several well-understood laws of physics, Velikovsky invented a role for electromagnetic forces in counteracting gravity and orbital mechanics.

Some of Velikovsky’s specific postulated catastrophes included:

• A tentative suggestion that Earth had once been a satellite of a “proto-Saturn” body, before its current solar orbit.
• That the Deluge (Noah’s Flood) had been caused by proto-Saturn’s entering a nova state, and ejecting much of its mass into space.
• A suggestion that the planet Mercury was involved in the Tower of Babel catastrophe.
• Jupiter had been the prime mover in the catastrophe that saw the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
• Periodic close contacts with a “cometary Venus” (which had been ejected from Jupiter) had caused the Exodus events (c. 1500 BCE) and Joshua’s subsequent “sun standing still” (Joshua 10:12–13) incident.
• Periodic close contacts with Mars had caused havoc in the 8th and 7th centuries BCE

Then see why entanglement is bonding. Discuss your ideas in a written paper. Email your answer to info@cosmoanelixis.gr or your tutor/ mentor.

“Bonding is simple enough, but not always easy; it can happen but may not; and, as wondrous as it is, some have misunderstood the idea and made it seem unnecessary. … Bonding is as simple (and mysterious) and as easy (or difficult) as love itself.”.-David Chamberlain, Bonding: A Simple Wonder

“Failure to bond can indeed have painful consequences. An unexplainable lack of closeness hovers over their daily relationships like a shadow. Intimacy and genuine friendship seems beyond reach. As much as they try to please each other, a gap still separates them. Other kinds of damage can be subtle. Klaus and Kennell discovered mothers, separated from babies for an extended period after birth, were left wondering if they really did have a child: the birth was more like a dream. They doubted the hospital had given them the correct baby.”David Chamberlain: Bonding: A Simple Wonder

“In unbonded mothers, breastfeeding was less successful, or if chosen, was cut short prematurely. These mothers appeared awkward rather than confident and had trouble learning the routines of everyday baby care. In more extreme cases, irritability and anger toward the baby grew to become child abuse: these babies of unbonded mothers were more likely to return to the hospital injured.” – David Chamberlain: Bonding: A Simple Wonder

“As we now understand, bonding is not restricted to any one time period. Clearly, heart-connections can forcefully begin before conception or anytime afterward, meaning love is welcome at any time during pregnancy, and, of course, is completely appropriate in the moments after birth when the combination of physiological and psychological forces are so auspicious. This truth is especially important for parents who are arriving late in the process to adopt a baby. All the parties involved in an adoption should take care to provide heart-felt love to the baby at the earliest possible date.”- David Chamberlain: Bonding: A Simple Wonder
