He adopted a baby girl that had been left with the church, and he left me his pen when he died. It is dedicated also to Beatrice Bugni who helped me learn what Grandpa couldn’t put into words. 3 FOREWARD TO VERSION 23 Shortly after my 1989 discovery of the underlying meaning of the world’s flood myths, I realized that these underlying events, the “Deluge” events, were – by far – the greatest trauma in the life of our species. Decoding the Deluge , which started out as a thirty-page essay, kept growing as I continued to discover new aspects of this greatest of all traumas. I realized early on that the literal flood is a cover for the underlying trauma; but I assumed, as do most paleontologists and antiquaries today, that there was no one flood in particular that traumatized our ancestors. I was wrong. Only a few weeks ago, as I was researching the aboriginal African Americans, I discovered the Great Flood, the second biggest trauma in the life of our species. It became a cover for the greatest trauma because most of our ancestors assumed that the “Gods” who were the victims of the first and worst trauma sent the second one. In their minds, the two traumas became fused. Because the second was viewed as punishment for the first, the first became taboo to even think about. Both became everywhere subsumed in exaggerated flood myths. The literal, Great Flood continues to terrify us even more than the underlying and symbolic “Deluge” due to having been more recent. These traumas have rendered us all very crazy, fearful, divided, uncooperative and under-achieving. Developing the solidarity we need to cooperate and realize our potentials for love, happiness, progress and longevity, to stop just dreaming about heaven and to start turning our one and only world into one requires us to overcome these traumas, to learn the truth about our ancestors and ourselves, to take responsibility for who we really are and the way we live. If we can do this, change will come about automatically because we will all see the necessity of adopting and codifying into law basic changes in the way we live and relate to one another. These are the goals that this basic biography of man intends to set in motion. Please do not be afraid to read this unprecedentedly open and revealing work. There is nothing unchangeable about us that is not OK. We are entirely capable of making the changes to which I refer, and they are to everyone’s benefit. The changes that we need to undergo are the changes that will remove the sources of fear from our lives , and it is every bit as true today as it was in 1933 that we have nothing to fear but fear itself. --David Huttner, May 2015 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS An important influence upon me over many years was the late Dr. Martin Weissman. Martin Weissman directed the counseling center at the University of California at Berkeley and was a practicing psychologist for over fifty years. I met him and his late wife Isabel when their son Jeffrey invited me to stay at the Weissman home during a college break. In Martin and Isabel, I met two successful people, relatively free of the self-hatred and alienation in which our modern world abounds. Martin has been a role model for me ever since, and he and Isabel contributed valuable advice and criticism to this work. I wish to express special thanks to William A. Turnbaugh, formerly of the University of Rhode Island (an archaeologist who taught sociology and anthropology), for his unselfish advice and consultation. Special thanks are also owed to my late friend, Colonel Cornelius Smith of Riverside, California (retired, USMC and Officer of The Day in charge of base security at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941). His intimations as to which of his combat experiences did and didn't become repressed enabled me to better understand the social part of the process by which religious myths and rituals were formed, a process that is completely analogous to the development of the dream. My ex-wife Maria; son, Daniel; and daughter, Beatrice, tolerated for thirteen years the presence in their home of a sleepless, self-absorbed and inconsiderate stranger. I am thankful for them, for my two loving parents, several surrogate parents and many outstanding teachers who have helped me. Needless to say, all mistakes and shortcomings are my own. None of the other authors mentioned herein bear any responsibility for the way in which I have creatively arranged their ideas. Finally, I want to thank you for supporting the public libraries with your tax monies. This indigent author conducted most of his research at, or with materials from, the New York and the Queens public libraries. Please continue to cherish and support them. --David Huttner, September 2008 5 PREFACE So, I stood with my shield outstretched And both were safe in its sight And I would not that either should triumph When the triumph was not with right --Solon In April of 1990, a legendary and innovative giant of the publishing industry and at that time senior editor at Random House, Jason Epstein, got into my taxi. I told Jason that all our social problems are rooted in our lack of population control and equal opportunity, that to civilize our world we must rationalize our genetic competition. I got the better of the ensuing argument. He then told me to get off the taxi seat and into the library to develop and submit the manuscript. He promised to read it, so I took his advice. I cut my taxi driving down to just the weekends and began to research broadly. Soon my ardor to complete The Modern Malaise and the Way Out became dampened by the responses that I received from some of my weekend taxi passengers. To my surprise, the worst reactions did not all come from the expected quarter. Some of the people toward the top of society with respect to influence and income agreed with me. To be sure, many of the elites are still sequestering themselves within the lifelong, sumptuous ball that Tom Wolf so aptly described in Bonfire of the Vanities . But others increasingly realize that the world outside their ballroom is rapidly deteriorating. We are destroying every province of our own habitat. We are depleting usable resources faster than other animals, plants and natural forces can re-concentrate them. We are turning Earth into a garbage dump. Our civilization is on a suicide course. Given this deterioration of the environment and the human economy, the failure of governments and outbreaks of anarchy can be expected with increased frequency and violence. These failures and outbreaks should wake up even the most inveterate ostriches. Even one of the world's richest men conversed with me quite rationally about strict limits upon inheritance and gifts to individuals, global ownership of mineral resources, equal educational opportunity and eliminating nepotism and cronyism from public companies and government -- so long as these proposals included population reduction and control, private ownership and market competition -- a context of class compromise, of give and take. Unfortunately, I found religious fanatics, of all social strata, to be not as rational. Many of these people go totally bananas whenever the subject of 6 population control is broached. The wealthy and powerful individuals among these fanatics can be extremely dangerous. They are inclined toward every sort of crime and fascist political activity whenever interests sanctioned by their “God” conflict with our constitution and democratic principles. From talking with some of these people, I realized what to expect from them were my book to be published. I would have to publicly defend it from their attacks. I would have to debate them. To debate them effectively, I would have to know them better than they know themselves. I had to try to learn at least as much about religion and psychoanalysis as anyone else had ever done.

  • Keynote Address - New Concepts in Wildlife Management
    KEYNOTE ADDRESS - NEW CONCEPTS IN WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT LESTER McCANN, Biology Department. College of St Thomas. St Paul. Minnesota Rather than one who lays claim to being an expert in your science of Vertebrate Pest Control, it is only possible to say that I come with an appreciation for the work you are doing. My valuing of pest control took a quantum leap recently. The occasion was the entering and occupying of our home in St. Paul by one of the area's wild squirrels. No doubt this sort of thing would be a small problem as your challenges go, but being an amateur it took me no less than a week to evict this wiley intruder. So you can see why I am a stronger believer than ever in the principle that man is man, and animals are animals, and never the twain shall meet, and am a firm supporter of people like yourselves who are trying to keep things that way. Here at your conference today, I find myself wearing two hats. One is that of a hunter who loves the challenges and associations that come with hunting. The other hat is that of a biologist, with training and experience in the field of wildlife management. First, may I speak to you wearing the hat of the hunter. Those of us who are hunters today have a somewhat harassed, beleaguered feeling, and for good reasons. There are something like 25 organiza­ tions existing today that are anti-hunting in orientation. Five of these alone raised over 14 million dollars to support their anti-hunting activities in one recent year.

  • A Ritual for the Dead: the Tablets from Pelinna (L 7Ab)
    CHAPTER TWO A RITUAL FOR THE DEAD: THE TABLETS FROM PELINNA (L 7AB) Translation of tablets L 7ab from Pelinna The two tablets from Pelinna (L 7a and 7b) were found in Thessaly in 1985, on the site of ancient Pelinna or Pelinnaion. They were placed on the breast of a dead female, in a tomb where a small statue of a maenad was also found (cf. a similar gure in App. II n. 7). Published in 1987, they revolutionized what had been known and said until then about these texts, and contributed new and extremely important view- points.1 They are in the shape of an ivy leaf, as they are represented on vase paintings,2 although it cannot be ruled out that they may represent a heart, in the light of a text by Pausanias that speaks of a “heart of orichalcum” in relation to the mysteries of Lerna.3 Everything in the grave, then, including the very form of the text’s support, suggests a clearly Dionysiac atmosphere, since both the ivy and the heart evoke the presence of the power of Dionysus. The text of one of the tablets is longer than that of the other. It has been suggested4 that the text of the shorter tablet was written rst, and since the entire text did not t, the longer one was written. We present the text of the latter:5 1 These tablets were studied in depth by their \ rst editors Tsantsanoglou-Parássoglou (1987) 3 ff., and then by Luppe (1989), Segal (1990) 411 ff., Graf (1991) 87 ff., (1993) 239 ff., Ricciardelli (1992) 27 ff., and Riedweg (1998).

Later this young scribe’s obsession with gathering, saving and sharing knowledge would inspire him to found, The Academy; commonly referred to as the first modern university. During this conversation Critias, recited an ancient unfinished poem, which he had memorized when he was 10 years old. This poem was written by Solon, the wisest of the seven sages of Greece.

  • STOAA 23 Reduced
    Poseidonis Map of Atlantis according to William Scott-Elliott (The Story of Atlantis, Russian edition, 1910) Solon of Athens If the hypothesis (now so much doubted, and positively denied by some learned authors, who regard it as a joke of Plato's) is ever verified, then, perhaps, will the scientists believe that the description of the god-inhabited continent was not altogether a fable. And they may then perceive that Plato's guarded hints and his attributing the narrative to Solon and the Egyptian priests, were but a prudent way of imparting the fact to the world, and, by cleverly combining truth and fiction, so disconnecting himself from a story which the obligations imposed at initiation forbade him to divulge. –SD2:221 Mount Atlas, Bolivia 18th-century illustration of Mount Kailash, depicting the holy family: Shiva and Parvati, cradling Skanda with Ganesha by Shiva's side Athanasius Kircher's map of Atlantis, placing it in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, from Mundus Subterraneus 1669, published in Amsterdam.

  • Atlantis in the Amazon : Lost Technologies and the Secrets of the Crespi Treasure / Richard Wingate
    ATLANTIS IN THE AMAZO N “This is a long-overdue book by an authority on the Carlo Crespi collection and what it means to our understanding of the first travelers to the Americas, long before Columbus. Not only is the case made for Atlantis in the Amazon, but Wingate also shows how this collection sounds a clear warning that humanity’s destructive ways are drawing us ever nearer to the same annihilation that wiped out this once thriving and advanced culture. Sadly, Wingate makes the case for the high probability that we are to go the way of Atlantis by continuing to use nuclear energy.” ROBERT R. HIERONIMUS, PH.D., AUTHOR OF FOUNDING FATHERS, SECRET SOCIETIES AND HOST OF 21STCENTURYRADIO.COM “The controversial Crespi Collection is presented here by the man who personally examined its artifacts before they were confiscated by Ecuadoran authorities.
