Lectures on the Saturn Model and the Electric Universe

For thousands of years humans lived in the shadow of planetary
catastrophes that colored their imagination and culture, and
influenced the development of their religions.

For the last 100 years or so, belief in a clockwork Solar System and
gradualistic evolution has dominated the theoretical sciences.

For the last 50 years since Immanuel Velikovsky published his
groundbreaking Worlds in Collision and Earth in Upheaval the thinking
of science has been swinging back to theories of astral catastrophism.

Now, inspired by the vision of Velikovsky and by evidence of planetary
catastrophe in ancient times, David Talbott and others have forged
ahead with explorations of a "Saturn Model." The result is a
meticulously-developed reconstruction which can now be presented in
substantial detail. This reconstruction is not only supported by
comparative mythology and an eclectic mix of ancient cultural
remnants, but by the unequivocal evidence for the "Electric Universe,"
a new paradigm in the sciences propounded by Wal Thornhill.

A crescendo of dramatic findings from the new telescopes and ongoing
space exploration is now certain to change the way we see the physical
world and our own planetary history. (For example, the findings of
astronomer Halton Arp, published in Quasars, Redshifts, and
Controversies and Seeing Red, have already removed the underpinnings
of modern cosmology, and there is much more to come.) Today we stand
on the threshold of a new and deeper understanding of ancient events
in the heavens and their reverberations across all of the early
cultures. How did these events affect our racial psychology and
concepts of our origins, the human condition and the destiny of our
world? Together, the Saturn Model and Electric Universe provide a more
holistic "big picture," answering many of the great mysteries and
paradoxes left unanswered by orthodox theories.

The Lectures

In light of recent developments and the mounting evidence supporting
the model, we are offering a lecture service for groups that want to
learn more about this groundbreaking reconstruction. The following 3
slide-lectures have been prepared for presentation:

1. Synthesis of evidence for big-picture view
This lecture covers a wide range of evidence for the Saturn Model
and reflects on fundamental implications, including the collapse
of uniformitarianism and gradualism, the influence on the world
religions and theology, and the impact on racial psychology.
Includes segments on:
+ Role of the Polar Configuration in the Saturn Model
+ Universal myth of the Golden Age
+ Universal myth of different ages and different "suns"
+ Global geo-physical evidence for the Planetary Alignment
+ Universal Cultural evidence for the Polar Configuration
+ The Catastrophic influence on word structure and development
of language
+ Role of Plasma Effects in the alignment
+ Inter-planetary discharges and scarring
+ References in Modern Literature
+ Influences of Saturn on Time concepts and Time-keeping
structures
+ Origin of major symbols
+ Influence on monument building
+ Evidence for recent dating
+ Reasons why Science & Academia have misread the record of the
past

2. The Saturn Model
In this lecture the emphasis is on the comparative study of
cultural themes and ritual practices in ancient times. The subject
is a unified theory of myth and symbol based on concrete forms
once seen in the heavens but no longer present. The emphasis is on
the underlying coherence of human memory, and simple rules for
drawing reliable conclusions from that evidence. Includes segments
on:

+ The Co-linear or Polar Configuration
+ Myth of the Golden Age
+ Myth of the Universal Monarch
+ Myth of the archaic polar sun god
+ Beginning of time or time keeping
+ Cosmic Eye, Wheel, Breast, Egg
+ The Breakup and the great deluge
+ Biblical references to Saturnian gods
+ Saturnian influence on Holidays
+ Radiant Venus, queen of heaven
+ Role of Mars and Venus in ancient literature and symbolism

3. The Electric Universe
This lecture lays a foundation of both concepts and evidence for
understanding the majorand over-lookedrole electricity plays in
the functioning of our physical universe. The lecture material is
primarily from Wal Thornhill and includes segments on:

* Birkeland current structure in plasmas
* Electrical activity in the Solar System
* Electrical scarring (craters, rilles and channels) on planets and
moons
* The electrical nature of the Sun
* Electrical features of the Solar System
* The effect of plasma-structure forces on circularization of orbits
* Laboratory reproduction of Cathode & Anode scarring and arc
machining
* High atmosphere red Sprites, blue jets, "elves", and gamma-ray
bursts
* Cometary electrical characteristics
* Major problems with "gravity"

The Lecturers

David Talbott
is the primary visionary responsible for the Saturnian Reconstruction
whose specialty of the last 26+ years has been comparative mythology.
He is conversant with the information and implications of the electric
universe, the findings of Halton Arp, and the vast amount of evidence
for his reconstruction in the various fields of global monument
building, geology and especially from the space exploration efforts.
He is the author of the book The Saturn Myth, the featured subject of
the video movie "Mythscape: Remembering the End of the World", the
founder of two important journals, Pensée: Immanuel Velikovsky
Reconsidered and Aeon: A Journal of Science and Myth, dealing with
planetary astral catastrophism. He has engendered two international
conferences dealing with catastrophism, has been the guest on a number
of radio talk programs, and has held seminars lecturing on the
Saturnian Reconstruction. 

Michael Armstrong
has studied the Saturn Model Reconstruction for over 25 years. He also
is conversant with the information and implications of the electric
universe, the findings of Halton Arp, and the vast amount of evidence
for this reconstruction in the various fields. He has lectured on the
Saturn material at an international conference sponsored by the
province of Milano, Italy and hosted by the University of
Milano/Bergamo. He has toured the ruins of Rome and visited the
various Roman temples built for and dedicated to the Planetary Gods;
he has also witnessed the multitude of referents in the Vatican and
other museums related to the ancients preoccupation with Saturn, the
end of the Golden Age and planetary catastrophism. He is the producer
of the video "SEARCH: In Saturns Shadow", former editor and now
publisher of the electronic newsletter THOTH, and has also been a
guest on talk radio.
