Theories on Atlantis

Theories About Atlantis

Plato

The greek philosopher, Plato,

brought to the world, the story of the lost continent of Atlantis. His

story began to unfold for him around 355 B.C. He wrote about this land

called Atlantis in two of his dialogues, Timaeus and Critias,

around 370 B.C. Plato stated that the continent lay in the Atlantic

Ocean near the Straits of Gibraltar until its destruction 10,000 years

previous.

Plato described Atlantis as alternating rings of sea and land,

with a palace in the center 'bull's eye'.

The Capitol of Atlantis

Timaeus begins with an introduction, followed by an account of the

creations and structure of the universe and ancient civilizations. In

the introduction, Socrates muses on the perfect society (as described

in Plato's Republic) and wonders if he and his guests could come up

with a story which puts this society into action. Critias mentions an

allegedly historical tale that he would make the perfect example, and

follows up by describing Atlantis in the Critias. In his account,

ancient Athens represents the " perfect society, " and Atlantis, its

opponent, represents the opposite of the " perfect " traits described in

the Republic. Critias claims that his account of ancient Athens and

Atlantis stems from a visit to Egypt by the Athenian lawgiver Solon in

the 6th century BC. In Egypt, Solon met Sonchis, a priest of Thebes,

who translated the history of ancient Athens and Atlantis, recorded on

pillars in Egyptian hieroglyphs, into Greek.

According to Critias, the Hellenic gods of old divided the land

so that each god might own a lot; Poseidon was appropriately, and to

his liking, bequeathed the island of Atlantis. The island was larger

than Libya and Asia Minor combined, but has since been sunk by an

earthquake and became an impassable mud shoal, inhibiting travel

between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The Egyptians

described Atlantis as an island approximately 700 km across, comprising

mostly mountains in the northern portions and along the shore, and

encompassing a great plain of an oblong shape in the south " extending

in one direction three thousand stadia [about 600 km], but across the

center inland it was two thousand stadia [about 400 km]. "

Fifty stadia inland from the middle of the southern coast was a

" mountain not very high on any side. " Here lived a native woman with

whom Poseidon fell in love and who bore him five pairs of male twins.

Atlas

The eldest of these, Atlas, was made rightful king of the entire island

and the ocean (now the Atlantic Ocean), and was given the mountain of

his birth and the surrounding area as his fiefdom. Atlas's twin

Gadeirus or Eumelus in Greek, was given the easternmost portion of the

island which also lay at its northern extreme facing Gades, a town in

southern Spain.

The other four pairs of twins - Ampheres and Evaemon, Mneseus and

Autochthon, Elasippus and Mestor, and Azaes (possibly the Azores) and

Diaprepes - " were the inhabitants and rulers of divers islands in the

open sea. "

Poseidon carved the inland mountain where his love dwelt into a

palace and enclosed it with three circular moats of increasing width,

varying from one to three stadia and separated by rings of land

proportional in size. The Atlanteans then built bridges northward from

the mountain, making a route to the rest of the island. They dug a

great canal to the sea, and alongside the bridges carved tunnels into

the rings of rock so that ships could pass into the city around the

mountain; they carved docks from the rock walls of the moats. Every

passage to the city was guarded by gates and towers, and a wall

surrounded each of the city's rings. The walls were constructed of red,

white and black rock quarried from the moats, and were covered with

brass, tin and orichalcum, respectively.

According to Critias, 9,000 years before his lifetime, a war took place between those outside the Pillars of Hercules and those who dwelt within them. The Atlanteans had conquered the Mediterranean as far east as

Egypt and the continent into Tyrrhenia, and subjected its people to

slavery. The Athenians led an alliance of resistors against the

Atlantean empire and as the alliance disintegrated, prevailed alone

against the empire, liberating the occupied lands. " But afterwards

there occurred violent earthquakes and floods; and in a single day and

night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth,

and the island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of

the sea. " Plato claimed it was somewhere outside the Pillars of

Hercules, now known as the Strait of Gibraltar.

Modern scholars generally regard Plato's description of

Atlantis as an invention, though its kernel may have been formed from

hazy memories of historical events such as the Thera eruption. However,

in antiquity, there were a few philosophers, geographers, and

historians who believed that Atlantis was real.

For instance, the philosopher Crantor, a student of Plato's

student Xenocrates, tried to find proof of Atlantis' existence. For his

opinions we are dependent on Proclus' commentary on the Timaeus,

written in the 5th century AD. Proclus reports that Crantor said he had

travelled to Egypt and seen the same columns on which Plato had seen

the history of Atlantis, written in hieroglyphic characters.

Plato's account of Atlantis may have also inspired parodic

imitation: writing only a few decades after the Timaeus and Critias,

the historian Theopompus of Chios wrote of a land beyond the ocean

known as " Meropis. " This description was included in Book 8 of his

voluminous Philippica, which contains a dialogue between King Midas and

Silenus, a companion of Dionysus. Silenus describes the Meropids, a

race of men who grow to twice normal size, and inhabit two cities on

the island of Meropis: Eusebes ( " Pious-town " ) and " Machimos "

( " Fighting-town " ). Hans-Gknther Nesselrath has argued that these and

other details of Silenus' story are meant as imitation and exaggeration

of the Atlantis story, for the purpose of exposing Plato's ideas to

ridicule.

Zoticus, a Neoplatonist philosopher of the 3rd century AD, wrote an epic poem based on Plato's account of Atlantis.

The 4th century AD historian Ammianus Marcellinus, relying on a

lost work by Timagenes, a historian writing in the 1st century BC,

writes that the Druids of Gaul said that part of the inhabitants of

Gaul had migrated there from distant islands. Ammianus' testimony has

been understood by some as a claim that when Atlantis sunk into the

sea, its inhabitants fled to western Europe; but Ammianus in fact says

that the Drasidae (Druids) recall that a part of the population is

indigenous but others also migrated in from islands and lands beyond

the Rhine " (Res Gestae 15.9), an indication that the immigrants came to

Gaul from the north and east, not from the Atlantic Ocean.

Another passage from Proclus' 5th century AD commentary on the

Timaeus gives a description of the geography of Atlantis: " That an

island of such nature and size once existed is evident from what is

said by certain authors who investigated the things around the outer

sea. For according to them, there were seven islands in that sea in

their time, sacred to Persephone, and also three others of enormous

size, one of which was sacred to Pluto, another to Ammon, and another

one between them to Poseidon, the extent of which was a thousand

stadia; and the inhabitants of it they add preserved the remembrance

from their ancestors of the immeasurably large island of Atlantis which

had really existed there and which for many ages had reigned over all

islands in the Atlantic sea and which itself had like-wise been sacred

to Poseidon. Now these things Marcellus has written in his Aethiopica " .

However, Heinz Gunther Nesselrath argues that this Marcellus,

who is otherwise unknown, is probably not a historian but a novelist.

An important Greek festival of Pallas Athene, the Panathenaea

was dated from the days of king Theseus. It consisted of a solemn

procession to the Acropolis in which a peplos was carried to the

goddess, for she had once saved the city, gaining victory over the

nation of Poseidon, that is, the Atlanteans. As Spence comments,

this cult was in existence already 125 years before Plato, which means

that the story could not be invented by him.

The historian Ammianus Marcellinus wrote that " the intelligentsia of

andria considered the destruction of Atlantis a historical fact,

described a class of earthquakes that suddenly, by a violent motion,

opened up huge mouths and so swallowed up portions of the earth, as

once in the Atlantic Ocean a large island was swallowed up. Diodorus

Siculus recorded that the Atlanteans did not know the fruits of Ceres.

In fact, Old World cereals were unknown to American Indians. Pausanias

called this island " Satyrides, " referring to the Atlantes and those who profess to know the measurements of the earth.

He states that far west of the Ocean there lies a group of islands

whose inhabitants are red-skinned and whose hair is like that of the

horse. ( Columbus described the Indians similarly.) A

fragmentary work of Theophrastus of Lesbos tells about the colonies of

Atlantis in the sea. Hesiod wrote that the garden of the Hesperides was

on an island in the sea where the sun sets.

Pliny the Elder recorded that this land was 12,000 km distant from

Cadiz, and Uba, a Numidian king intended to establish a stock farm of

purple Murex there. Diodorus Siculus declares that the ancient

Phoenicians and Etruscans knew of an enormous island outside the

Pillars of Heracles. He describes it as the climate is very mild,

fruits and vegetables grow ripe throughout the year. There are huge

mountains covered with large forests, and wide, irrigable plains with

navigable rivers. Scylax of Caryanda gives similar account.

Marcellus claims that the survivors of the sinking Atlantis

migrated to Western Europe. Timagenes tells almost the same, citing the

Druids of Gaul as his sources. He tries to classify the Gallic tribes

according to their origins and tells of one of these claiming that they

were colonists who came there from a remote island.

Theopompus of Chios, a Greek historian called this land beyond the

ocean as " Meropis " . The dialogue between King Midas and the wise

Silenus mentions the Meropids, the first men with huge cities of gold

and silver. Silenus knows that besides the well-known portions of the

world there is another, unknown, of incredible immensity, where

immeasurably vast blooming meadows and pastures feed herds of various,

huge and mighty beasts. Claudius Aelianus cites Theopompus, knowing of

the existence of the huge island out in the Atlantic as a continuing

tradition among the Phoenicians or Carthaginians of Cadiz.

Perhaps the Byzantine friar Cosmas Indicopleustes understood Plato

better than the ancient and modern " Aristotelians " , says Merezhkovsky.

In his Topographia Christiana he included a chart of the (flat) world:

it showed an inner continent, a compact mainland surrounded by sea, and

this was surrounded by an outer ring-shaped continent, with the

inscription, " The earth beyond the Ocean, where men lived before the

Flood. " The Garden of Eden is placed in the eastern end of this

continent.

Atlantean Fire Crystals

Edgar Cayce's Channelings

The Great Crystal

Edgar Cayce first mentioned Atlantis in a life reading given in

1923, and later gave its geographical location as the Caribbean, and

proposed that Atlantis was an ancient, now-submerged, highly-evolved

civilization which had ships and aircraft powered by a mysterious form

of energy crystal. He also predicted that parts of Atlantis would rise

in 1969. The Bimini Road,

a submarine geological formation just off North Bimini Island,

discovered in 1968, has been claimed by some to be evidence of the lost

civilization (among many other things) and is still being explored

today.

Before the time of Eratosthenes about 250 BC, ancient Greek

writers located the Pillars of Hercules on the Strait of Sicily. This

changed with the Great's eastward expansion and the Pillars

were moved by Eratosthenes to Gibraltar. This evidence has been cited

in some Atlantis theories, notably in Frau's work.

Thule, in the Greek and Roman mythologies, is a place, usually

an island, in the far north, perhaps Scandinavia. It was first

mentioned by the Greek geographer and explorer Pytheas of Massalia

(present-day Marseille) in the 4th century BC. Pytheas claimed that

Thule was six days north of Britain, and that the midsummer sun never

set there. Thule is sometimes seen to have some commonality with

Atlantis.

As continental drift

became better understood and accepted during the 1950s, most " Lost

Continent " theories of Atlantis were shown to be impossible. In

response, some recent theories propose that elements of Plato's story

were derived from earlier myths.

Gordon- Scallion

Atlantis existed almost 250,000 years from its first age to its

final days, the last of its islands going beneath the seas around 9,000

years ago. This means that if you reincarnated into the Earth realms

during the past quarter million years, the odds are high that you lived

in Atlantis for one or more lifetimes. Since the culture of Atlantis

existed through nearly 10 grand cycles of the precession of the equinoxes, you may have spent literally hundreds of lives in Atlantis or its colonizes.

Cycles repeat, and the same stellar energies that governed the last

days of Atlantis have come full cycle again. Atlantean souls began

returning to Earth during the past century in numbers significant

enough to affect the development of many nations on Earth--especially

technological nations such as Germany, the United States, England, and

Russia.

Atlanteans embarked on a project that took more than 100 of our current

years to complete. Far from their Atlantean homelands in a region they

knew to be safe from the Earth changes-- they built a time capsule--a

message to help future humans understand what had happened. They knew

the mistakes they had made for themselves at that time. But it was too

late to stop the destruction, for the greater Earth changes had already

come, destroying their homelands and the great civilizations they had

built. They knew earth changes would surely happen again, as the

precession reached its apex once more, 13,000 years hence. They built

their time capsule to last--to warn future generations in time to avoid

the mistakes the Atlanteans made, and save civilization from

destruction. The Atlantean time capsule was not merely a building but a

" machine " of sorts--and instrument which could foretell when the same

fate would come to those of the future-- the people of the 20th

century. This is the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt.

The Great Pyramid was constructed over 12,500 years ago. It is an Atlantean instrument conceived by Ra, a priest from the land of Dar, and engineered by Thoth

(Hermes) from Atlantis. Construction was carried out by a work force of

native Egyptians and the black races of people known as the Nubians and

Zuleans who occupied the east and west banks of the southern Nile

River.

If the cycle is to repeat --the changes will come swiftly and

without warning. In Atlantis 95% of the population was lost to the

waters.

Going back in time some 225,000 years-as time is reckoned from the

present--we meet the entity Om, the great leader of an ancient race

known as At-el, preparing to meet not only his own destiny but the

destiny of the world. Living in the region we now know as Tibet, the

At-el are primitive by our standards. They are a brave and noble

culture of hunter-gathers, small in stature, compared to the race of

giants who dominate the Earth at this time.

The At-el have skin the color of bronze, with deep penetrating eyes,

that are black or gray. They are similar in appearance to the Native

Americans that lived in the Mississippi basin at the turn of our 18th

century. They stand, on average, only about 5 and 1/2 feet tall, though

their heads are larger, even, than ours today.

The At-el people lived in small family clans that banded

together, making up the single tribe. These clans have evolved directly

from soul groups--entities who are reincarnated lifetime after lifetime

into the same families--though to be sure, new souls do enter, so the

clans continue to grow in size, over time, and new clans are often

created. During this time in Earth's history, the consciousness of

humanity is much different than ours today. Where today our individual

memories are built up in us from birth, such is not the case with

At-el, for they are a group-memory race of people. Each member of each

At-el clan is deeply connected to their specific soul group incarnate.

The total memories of the clan are accessible to each individual in the

clan, and is from birth. As each clan member experiences new things,

these are added-- or remembered --within the collective consciousness

of the clan. Individual thought is also present in the At-el people, but

only as it interacts with their share of memories. The group-memory of

each clan flows and swells constantly - each experience is accessible

to all, and owned by no one. Now, the collective memories of one clan--or soul group-- of

the At-el can not be felt or seen by those in other clans, except for

the rare individual who has the gift of this unusual ability. The

entity Om is such a person, and as such, he is considered to be a

leader of the people. With his great knowledge and memory of all the

clans, he may speak for the tribe to mother Earth, and to all the

elements, which the At-el see as Gods.

The Festival of Fire

It is

during the festival dedicated to the element fire-- on the 10th full

moon in the 13 lunar months of the At-el year - that Om will experience

something like no other At-el, indeed, like no other entity on Earth,

has ever experienced at a festival, or anywhere else for that matter.

At festival time, the collective joyful memories are often induced

amongst clan members, not unlike our experience of sharing an album of

family pictures with friends and family, laughing together and

remembering the good times had by all. The whole tribe congregates at

festival time, creating, for once, a new experience of love and joy

that can be shared by everyone. For the 'celebration of fire', the largest hut --the At-el

temple--is set up to receive the congregation, and a large stone altar

is placed in the center. Wood and crushed stones have been prepared the

previous day, and are now placed into the stone basin at the foot of

the altar and lit.

The leader, Om, enters the altar area, and begins his dancing and

chanting. It is in this manner that Om usually leads the tribe to dance

and chant and after some time signals the rest to join with him. As the

chanting increases in power, Om begins to receive visions from the

'collective memories' of all the clans present. When Om receives these

memories at the festival, he is able to pass them on to others-- his

visions become their visions. This is taught by the At-el's to be a

gift from their Gods, the great elements. At this particular festival of fire, Om dances and chants,

and as the others join in, the air is thick with the images and joyful

memories that flow from clan to clan throughout the festival circle,

and a great happiness comes over all of those in attendance. For even when an At-el memory contains negative images, it

is always interpreted as positive in the end. Even in facing death, a

clan member is seen to be overcoming obstacles through his or her

strength, bravery, or stealth. And back through the generations of the

clans, each act is remembered with fierce pride and good feelings. As the images begin to fade this time, something startling

happens. Om begins to receive new memories--memories foreign to him and

all of the clan of At-el. Those who share his thought cry out, because

they do not understand what they are seeing. The joyous dancing and

chanting stops abruptly. These visions are not from the group memories

at all! These are images of places and people never seen before - these

are not of the At-el. Nothing like this has ever happened before, and for once,

the At-el are afraid. Some of the people run from the temple. Others

stand motionless, tears running down their faces. Many look to Om for

guidance. Where had these visions come from? What are they? Om, does

not know, but he is not afraid. His strength clams the people who

witness it, and this spread-- as group-memory--to the rest of the

clan's people. And one by one those who remained, slowly back away from

Om and out of the temple. After the festival, the tribe goes on with daily life as if

nothing has occurred. The memory of what happened has been stored away

in the clan's consciousness - safely out of mind until invoked at some

future festival, when once again that which is not of one's own soul

group may be shared by all. Only Om is left with the strange vision

still lingering in his mind. And like all wise leaders, he is

thoughtful, and waits.

The Festival of Air

One lunar cycle having passed, the next festival commences-- the

festival of air. As he has many times before, Om begins the celebration

by chanting and dancing. The group-memories come to him, as always, and

the others begin to experience the shared imagery of the tribe. This

time, however--just as it occurred during the festival of Fire--images

of strange people, their lands, and their homes fill the minds of the

At-el clans people. As the vision unfolds, they recognize Om in the

foreign place, and witness the strange, tall people bowing down to

him--a symbol of respect for his power-- and the fear that had been

presented in the clans is gone.

With this experience, a new seed of consciousness has evolved,

not only in At-el, but in all the races of the world. For time is not

linear, but circular; memory is not only a link to the past, but to the

future as well. From this point forward, each clan member would be able

to recall events yet to come--through Om's connection--and thereby

become part of his new memory. Om does not understand entirely what is

occurring, but now that he has seen himself in the images, he knows

that what he has seen is the future, not an alternate past, and that he

must be patient to learn what to do next. It is his job to lead his

people forward, to meet the strangers in the dream visions,and so meet

with his destiny.

Om's Vision

The temple is prepared for the water celebration, and a large stone

bowl is placed in the center of the hut. Water from the mountain

streams has been placed in the basin, and the ceremonial ladles, carved

of wood, rests along side it. From these ladles, each clan member will

drink to the element water, sharing in its bounty.

Om enters the altar and begins his dance and chant. A strange

look comes over him, and all those in attendance watch him with

curiosity. No one joins in. As Om continues to dance, his chanting

voice filling the temple, images unlike any he has seen before once

again flood his mind. Quiet and motionless, all of the people of the

clans of At-el share his sight. Om sees some of the tall, almost giant

people of his two previous visions, and a strange building that seems

to move and sway on a great body of water such as never been witnessed

by the At-el.

Om is present once again, and he lives in the floating building

with the giant people. There are many At-el present too. Abruptly, the

vision changes and the large entity wearing clothing totally foreign in

style speaks to Om. He says that Om is now about to embark on a now

marvelous quest. Once completed, his journey will enable all of the

world to enter an age of joyful coexistence, and the great elements

will be in harmony with all tribes everywhere.

The Quest

The entity in Om's vision instructs him to take half the At-el

tribe---1,555 clans people---on a journey that will lead to a new land

located in the middle of a great sea. In order to do this, however,

they must first travel far into the west, to an unknown land called Zu.

There they are to meet a strange-looking people who sometimes

live in even stranger-looking buildings that move upon the water. Upon

arriving in Zu, situated on the coast of what we now call the Arabian

Sea, Om will meet the leader of the Zu people, and from there he and

the At-el who traveled with him will be guided to the new land.

Om and his followers leave on the next lunar cycle, at the time

of the festival of Earth. It is the height of the celebration, but Om

is not presiding. The evolution of consciousness has already begun, and

there are now others to lead the chanting and dancing for those that

are left behind. It is understood that this parting is joyous, and the

clans that are staying behind wish well to the ones who are going away.

The travelers set out of their homeland on foot, under a full moon.

Years will pass before they reach their destination.

The summer zenith and a bright, full moon usher Om, and his

surviving followers into the foreign land they seek. At the coast, they

are met by the Zulean people of the visions. They are a tall,

black-skinned people, with high foreheads, deeply recessed penetrating

brown eyes, and large lips. The colossal Olmecs statues--still found in

the world today--closely resemble the ancient race of Zu.

Although the Zu are at first fearful of the strange visitors,

Om and the other At-el clans people are quickly welcomed into the Zu

culture. The leader of the Zu, called Un Towee, has experienced a

prophecy describing Om and his followers, and instructs him to aid them

when they arrived.

The Zu are a kind and loving, family-oriented people, who live by the

sea in a large colony. Beautiful gardens dot the landscape, and

children everywhere are engaged in a game using long, thin stick and a

hard ball made for the sap of large tress found in the surrounding

hillsides. The sport is to hit the ball into a ring fixed on a pole at

the center of each game site. Compared to the harsh terrain of the

At-el homeland, this is a lush land.

Om and Un Towee find between themselves and instant kinship,

and plans are quickly made for the journey ahead. While six full cycles

of the moon come and go, the Zu--experienced seafarers and boat

builders--construct a large sailing vessel for Om and his tribe. The

ship, a yawl by today's definition, can carry all of Om's people, plus

a contingency of 13 Zuleans--one for each month of the year. These 13

are chosen to accompany the At-el as navigators and sailors, and to

discover with them this still unknown New World.

On the first new moon, at the exact moment the darken moon

reaches its highest point in the sky, Om and his shipmates set sail for

the narrow body of water we now call the Red Sea. At this point, it

must be understood that the world of Om's time is geographically much

different than our own. From the Red Sea, it is possible to navigate

directly into what we call the Mediterranean, and then on into the

great Atlantic Ocean, where the land that is the final destination of

his vision inspired quest lies waiting.

Six lunar months after their departure, the explorers pass into

thestraits, today called Gibraltar, and head due west. With the sun

rising behind the ship in the morning of the next full moon, theZulean

lookout sights land and calls out to those down below.

Om and his people crowd to the railing to behold the distant

shoreof a mighty continent. Today all that remains of this great land

are the tiny islands we know as the Azores.When the ship reaches its

destination and drops anchor some 500 yards from the shore, all

aboard--Zuleans and At-el alike--await the next high tide so that they

may disembark. They prepare themselves for landing in this new

uncharted land bypraying, and by purifying themselves with smoke and

oil-baths. At high tide, they put shore in long boats. On the beach,

they conduct a ceremony in reverse to the element water; and as Om and

his people are from the land of the At-al, they name this new land

At-el-an.

Ec-Kar of Atlantis

Ec-Kar is a fifth-level initiate, High Priest of the Educational

Presidium, and teacher at the most famous University of Atlantis -

Ata-Ruumn. It located on the coast of the city of Poseidia. Poseidia is

one of the five large island kingdoms of Atlantis. It is known for its

riches, culture, and temples of wisdom. Thousands arrive daily to but,

sell, and trade goods, and to attend cultural activities.

He is a man in his eighteenth cycle - each cycle consists of seven

years. He is short for Atlantean, standing at 5 feet 6 inches tall, has

bronze colored skin, balding head, ad a long white beard. He wears

white robes and papyrus-reed sandals. He is telepathic and can manifest

before his students at will.

Lesson one: The 'Hall of Ages' where Ec-kar has taught his students about their Atlantean heritage and origins.

Lesson two:

In the 'Hall of Sciences' - Ec-kar has taught collective thought.

Lesson three: LemuriaEc-kar's students consider Lemuria

their Motherland. He teaches them that it was in Lemuria that the

colonization of Atlantis first began. The Lemurians were like thought

projections, not physically solid. It made them higher in frequency and

closer to the Creator's energy vibration level. Their souls came to

Earth to experience the physical vibration. They were large in stature,

about nine feet tall. Their skin had an aqua cast changing from blue to

green in conjunction with two seasonal cycles each year. Their faces

were elongated and oval. Their eyes were large with lids running

vertically. The texture of their skin was slightly scaly. They breathed

through their skin, not lungs. The temperature of the planet, the

atmosphere, the light and the orbits of the other planets were much

different then. The first Lemurians were androgynous, neither male nor

female.

It all began with the projection of 144 soul groups -

representing the projection of 33 million souls. Some of the souls came

from the 'Red Planet'.

Some groups chose water, some the plant, mineral, or animal

kingdoms. The greater experiments were with the animal kingdom as this

realm allowed for longer life spans and greater mobility. The Earth had

giants and elves. Some came from the stars and projected into physical

form, Pleiades and Sirius. They came in space craft different than those of the Atlanteans, called Valix.

Lesson four:

The Creator formed all souls in his image, as spiritual beings. As the

souls reached out to experience different realities they began to

define themselves by groups, according to their particular experience.

Within this structure each soul group had the ability to chose the

physical form it wished to express. Once a soul group was chosen, the

soul groups were able to increase their numbers by replicating

themselves, much as a single celled life-form divides again and again.

Each cell remains a portion of, and a duplicate of, the original.

Ec-Kar teaches that the Earth has seen many civilizations - some of who have come from other worlds to learn and experience.

Lesson Five: Hall of Images

A virtual-reality library where all Atlantean history may be accessed as holographic imagery. The sea fills the Halls of Ata-Ruumn, bringing with it the

aroma of fresh oranges, just delivered by-transport from the colonies.

Students move briskly through the corridors, disappearing into

respective halls. Ec-kar's pupils wait at the entrance to the Hall of

Images. At the appointed time, their teacher arrives, and they follow

him silently into the Hall. It is a huge room--a perfect cube, one hundred feet in every

direction--and fashioned from limestone blocks. Ec-Kar bows gently to

his students, acknowledging their presence, and moves directly to a

control instrument on one side of the great room. Without a word, he

places his hands over a panel carved with strange symbols his students

have never seen before.

He selects one of the symbols and passes his small chubby hands over

it; an expectant silence fills the Hall. Following Ec-kar's gaze they

turn towards the center of the room, watching as the bright clear light

gradually appears in the empty air at the middle of the space. As the

light grows in intensity, colors appear and radiate outward, up to the

ceiling, - a hundred feet high - and out to the walls, bathing the

students and Ec-Kar in a rainbow glow. In a matter of seconds the light

disappears, suddenly replaced by what appears to be an enormous, and

very solid, dome-shaped structure. Some of the students turn towards their teacher

questioningly unable to accept what is occurring. Others just stare.

The dome is a golden vision, slowly rotating, as if barely floating

above the floor. The massive structures seems immovable; yet, it has

materialized from thin air and it spins, propelled by an unseen force.

To these students, many from less advanced cultures of their regions,

what appears before them is unbelievable. For here in the grand Hall of

Images, is the secret of Atlantis' power - the Dome of Light.

Ec-Kar moves slowly towards the dome, and upon reaching it, turns to

face his class. " My friends, the purpose of our visit to the Hall today

is to prepare you for a different type of journey than any of you have

ever experienced. At our last meeting, I said that you would have an

opportunity to recall your soul's journey through many lifetimes. But

in order for this to occur, you must first be well-prepared for such a

journey - just as many of you prepared for your travels from the

distant lands you call home to At-Ruumn. "

Ec-Kar is standing only a few feet from the Dome of Light.

Although the class now understands that the dome is only a holographic

image, it still looks very real, and the size of it - hovering as it

does behind Ec-kar - seems rather menacing, dwarfing their teacher's

otherwise imposing stature.

He continues. " For thousands of years, the Dome of Light has

enabled our land to enjoy its great riches. And while we have shared

many of the fruits derived from this technology with those outside our

land, we cannot share its specific engineering principles. Shortly, you

will understand why. But, in order to comprehend what I am about to

share with you, you will need to stretch your minds to accept

possibilities which are, perhaps, beyond your wildest imaginings. " Let

us begin today's lesson. For every energy there is an equal and

opposite energy. Just, as the day brings light, the opposite is true

for night. Now, between light and dark there is a neutral, or

transference point. It is within this transference point that the

secret technology of the Dome of Light may be found.

Let us look at one of Nature's marvelous examples of the energy

transference, gravity. The Earth receives various emanations from the

sun and sends back to the sun its opposite force. The gravity we all

take for granted on Earth is one effect of the rays moving through the

sun - Earth continuum. " The

Dome of Light works in a similar fashion by capturing and holding the

energy at the moment of transference between star energy and its

converted opposite. The captured energy is stored in containment

chambers buried deep beneath the Dome to use any way we choose. "

Ec-Kar pauses, to see that the class understands, before he continues.

" Through the tuning devices we use aboard our Valix craft, and

in our homes and buildings, the Dome of Light transmits the power

generated via ultraviolet waves, thus propelling our ships, cooling and

heating our cities, or allowing for communications. The power is

immediately transferred, whatever the need. However, there is a dark

side to this great invention as well, for it is also a weapon of

imaginable power.

" Now, please observe that the dome is golden in color. It is constructed from poured granite and lined with an organic material capable of containing the enormous energies accumulated inside.

" Watch now what happens to the top portion of the dome. "

Ec-Kar returns to the panel, makes an adjustment at the controls, and the image reacts. Slowly, an

opening appears in the top center of the dome and a green light flow into it from above.

" You are now viewing the Dome of Light in operation. I this way, it captures the solar emanations within its field.

The students watch the hologram in amazement, as Ec-kar continues his lessons.

" The reason we are here is not only to introduce you to Atlantean

technology, but to let you experience another benefit of this great

power - soul travel.

Together, as time- travelers, we will now return to a period of history

when this Dome of Light was used to create what - even now - you would

consider miracles. Realize that these 'miracles' are still possible

today, but due to your caste system they are not available to any of

you, your families, or indeed your countries. In fact, even my own

caste position enforces certain restrictions pertaining to this

technology. This is simply the way of things. " While relatively small, the image of the Dome that you now

look upon represents, nevertheless, a power source unequaled on our

planet. This technology is trusted only to those in the Energy Ministry

caste. Since its invention, it has brought both miracles, and

destruction to not only our land, but the world. I tell you this, my

friends, so that you may understand that with power comes

responsibility - one that we as a nation did not always follow. "

A student raises her hand.

" Yes, Ma-Riel? "

" I have observed the Valix craft many times, and that is does not have

an operator of any type. How can this be? And how is it that it runs so

silently, floating above the ground as it does? Those my from country

say it is magic, and that the Atlantean magicians are to be feared. " Ec-Kar moves closer to the class as he responds. " Ma-Riel,

that which is misunderstood often creates fear. 'Magic' is merely a way

of explaining what is feared . . .the unknown. "

" How does the Valix, the people-transporter, work? " asks Ma-Riel.

Ec-Kar responds, " The Valix, and indeed all Atlantean technologies,

operate through the Dome of Light. Each transport-vessel draws energy

from the nearest Dome. Once accessed, power is transferred to the

'motivational instruments' inside the Valix craft. Amplifiers are

embedded throughout the outer skin of the vessel, and these circuits

create an opposing gravitational force that interacts with the Earth.

This lifts the craft. For most uses, the Valix are automated and follow

preprogrammed routes. No operator is required. "

Jalaum for the Ur, raises his hand and asks, " Ec-Kar, is there a distance limit for the transporters? "

" For ground transports, remote operation is possible to the horizon.

For air transports, the outer atmosphere is the only limitation for the

ring of the Domes created in our land serve as a network. Each contains

the others. " " The Dome of light was originally designed to communicate

with intelligences existing in alternative realities, and ultimately,

with the Creator. "

" Did this work? " asks another student.

" Yes. We

were able to follow a departed Atlantean from the moment of his death

to his next reality. We broke contact only just prior to his return to

Earth in a new incarnation. You must realize that the Dome of Light,

while it may appear to be a marvel to you, is simply an instrument that

allows us to do what our ancestors accomplished with the power of only

their minds. For in the early days of Earth, we were much closer to the

Creator. "

" What other ways is the Dome of Light used? " asks a pupil named Panter.

Ec-Kar gesturing to the east, says, " Though we are but a few minutes

walk from the ocean here, the temperature outside is quite high today.

Yet it is comfortable 70 degrees everywhere within these Halls! As I

have shared, light has its opposite, and energy exists in both, so is

the case in all Nature. Through a process called hysteresis, the temperature is

controlled to a very fine degree. The same process is used in all

Atlantean structures - from the Valix transporters, the homes and

buildings. "

" Are there educational uses? can the Dome make us smarter? " asks Du-Ta-Rahn.

" Intelligence is made up of ingredients, like a cake. Is it part

genetic, part experience, part diet, part environment, and part

soul-development. All of these parts, however, can be overridden by

will. Your will. Do not ever allow yourself to be confused on this important point: whatever you will yourself to do or to be, you shall become. It is one of the divine laws of Nature.

" There are several educational uses for the Domes. Depending upon an individual's caste, for example,

the Textile Ministry may allow for a robe of learning

to be assigned. These are woven so as to make the wearer into a

receiver. Information, which is beamed throughout the 'Dome network'

each day by the Presidium, is amplified by the robe's fibers. These couple directly with the body's neuro-pathways or

meridians. The short-term memory zones are stimulated, and the

information impresses upon them. If the wearer recalls a particular

piece of that new information within the day, it is transferred to a

middle-zone, and finally, the individual continues to work with the new

information. If he does not work with it, it will fade, just as dreams

do. For this is the same portion of the brain used by the souls to

review its daily experiences, what we learn we must use, and practice,

in order to keep it. Without practice, all wisdom is lost.

Alper

Long ago there was an planet called Atlantis which housed a

civilization of highly evolved beings. Their planet was destroyed about

90,000 years ago. Many fled to Earth, living on the surface of the

planet or above in spaceships. The population was approximately seven

and a half million people.

Crystals played a major role in their lives. Atlanteans had

many subterranean tunnels which contained giant fire crystals, their

main source of power. These were quartz crystals - 20 feet tall X 8

feet in diameter - three crystals set in triangular patterns. Giant

copper rods conducted energies from crystals creating a grid which had

various purposes. Cities were domed with force fields of energies, set

into place containing the vibrations of the atmosphere to the many

large buildings. A main healing temple was circular with a 60 foot

diameter. The domed ceiling contained dozens of crystals that were not

so much used for healing and balance to ward off illness. A Temple of

Sound was used to aligned the body's energy centers (chakras).

The Pyramids of Atlantis were three sided and generally made of

crystals. They were used as antennas to draw and amplify energies from

the universe. There were about 100 of these edifices. They were set up

in various triangulation patterns all over the planet. They set a

global grid work of magnetic energy dividing the planet into different

geographic magnetic centers -for population concentration - and to hold

the planet in its orbital path. Most of these pyramids, physically do

not exist any more. Those that do exist are buried in different areas.

The centers where the pyramids exist energetically draw people to them

for magnetic initiation - a total alignment of etheric crystalline

centers for healing. Pregnant women were placed in a chamber for 24

hours where a crystal sent information of a higher frequency to the

fetus.

Children remained with their parents for the first two years of

their lives. They were then taken to a central compound where they

lived all together with group mothers who raised the children. All of

the children got to play with all of the parents every day. There was

no child abuse or feelings of lack of love. At adulthood children did

not have guilt to care take parents. Psychologically parents and

children were far more adjusted then they are today.

People lived in communities of attached homes, their design based on

the use of the building and geometric construction. The tallest

building was about 12-14 stories high. Healing centers were triangular

in shape. Average buildings were 2-3 stories high. Communication was

telepathic, verbal, or tones. Large quartz crystals often amplified the

frequencies and vibrations.

When a person was old and their body could no longer function -

they would lie down and go to sleep - never to wake again. That

person's soul had peace in its relationship with God and understood

that the soul would return. There was no fear of death. The physical

body is nothing more than a manifesting consciousness tool of the soul.

It is the vehicle through which the soul expresses. When the soul is

finished what it is here to do it can leave. It is within our capacity

to close our eyes and for the soul to leave. There is no reason to have

prolonged illness and suffering. That is just part of the soul's fear

of leaving.

Biogenetic experiments created mythological beings; mermaids, Cyclops, gargoyles, etc.

Duality existed. Negativity and pole shifts caused the downfall of Atlantis.

Other Channelings and Writings

Francis Bacon's 1627 novel The New Atlantis

describes a utopian society, called Bensalem, located off the western

coast of America. A character in the novel gives a history of Atlantis

that is similar to Plato's, and places Atlantis in America. It is not

clear whether Bacon means North or South America.

In middle and late 19th century, several serious Mesoamerican

scholars, starting with Etienne Brasseur de Bourbourg, and

including Herbert and Augustus Le Plongeon proposed

that Atlantis was somehow related to Mayan and Aztec culture.

During the late 19th century, ideas about the mythical nature

of Atlantis were combined with other lost continent myths such as

Lemuria by popular figures in the occult and the growing new age

phenomenon.

Helena Blavatsky, the Grandmother of the New Age movement, writes in The Secret Doctrine

that the Atlanteans were cultural heroes (contrary to Plato who

describes them mainly as a military threat), and are the fourth " Root

Race " , succeeded by the Aryan race.

In the 19th century Blavatsky gave impetus to the idea of an Atlantic

continent running through the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. She gave

some brief history of its inhabitants, identified its location, the

times of the sinking of the larger part of the continent, and the time

of the last submergence of its principle remaining island. She also

specified some land still in existence as land today that was part of

Atlantis then. She gave various cultural arguments for its existence.

The science of her day was quite inhospitable to the idea of a

continent in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean because it was committed

to the idea of extreme gradualism. It was Blavatsky who brought the

attention of the western world to Atlantis. This has been almost

entirely overlooked. Blavatsky mentioned Atlantis in her introductory

book, Isis Unveiled published in 1877. The book was sold out on the first day of its release to the public.

Five years later Ignatius Donnelly published his well researched " Atlantis: Antediluvian world " .

He is usually given credit as the " Father of modern Atlantis research " .

No doubt from the close time connection, he was inspired by Blavatsky.

She should be acknowledged as the inspiration of the modern Atlantis

movement. In 1888 Blavatsky published her magnum opus, The Secret Doctrine. This is a difficult work - but most seminal. It is encyclopedic. In it she gives many more details of Atlantis.

Her most specific comment showed a knowledge of the Ocean bottom

unheard of by anybody in her time. Notably Challenger discovered the

Mid-Atlantic ridge. At Tristan D'Hunca the ridge had become so small as

to be undetectable by their method. Blavatsky asserted that if it could

be traced further it would be found to continue around under Africa and

up into the Indian Ocean. Today we have confirmed the Ridge continues

exactly as she claimed as a tectonic plate boundary.

Blavatsky asserted that Atlantis had been centered on the

Mid-Atlantic ridge. She said that Plato - as an initiate required by

pledge to withhold certain information - had purposefully combined the

older larger continent sized land mass with what was the remaining

island. We see evidence of this combining if we examine the Greek and

the English.

She also asserted that the larger land mass had extended over a much

larger area and even reached from the Western Hemisphere to the African

continent. So the recent discoveries of a possible Atlantis-style

civilization off Cuba are included in her view of Atlantis. The

discoveries in the Atlantic support her view. She asserted that

references to Atlantis abound around the world's older nations. That

was unexpected and highly " undocumented " in her time. Now those have

been traced and found.

In 1940, Spence published the now classic " Shadow of Atlantis " .

Indeed Atlantis had cast its shadow just as she had claimed. In 1882,

one of her teachers had written a letter to Sinnett and given the exact

year of the sinking of Atlantis. It was 9,564 BC. Now, more than one

century later, hard science has averaged together time estimates from

many scientific sources and obtained a date that is very close to the

date given in 1882. This scientific estimate is detailed in Cataclysm.

The Piri Reis Map

enters into the controversy over Atlantis, especially in considering

the view that Atlantis was in Antarctica. That map could only have been

made with knowledge of how the Earth looks from a high altitude.

Blavatsky had asserted that the Atlanteans know of flying machines

and that knowledge of such machines had passed on to the Hindus. The

odd fact of the high altitude of the Piri Reis maps confirms her

statement. In the Secret Doctrine, Blavatsky had noted the

relevance of " Phaeton " or " Typhon " . Now the scientific evidence has

placed very meaningful particular importance on these " myths " .

Blavatsky also asserted that there had been much prior civilization

prior to Atlantis.

We are at the close of the cycle of 5,000 years of the present Aryan

Kali Yuga or dark age. This will be succeeded by an age of light. Even

now under our very eyes, the new Race or Races are preparing to be

formed, and that is in America that the transformation will take place,

and has already silently commenced. This Race will be altered in

mentality and will move toward a more perfect spiritual existence.

That the periodical sinking and reappearance of mighty continents, now

called Atlantean and Lemurian by modern writers, is not fiction will be

demonstrated. It is only in the 20th century that portions, if not the

whole, of the present work will be vindicated. A world destruction as

happened to Atlantis 11,000 years ago... instead of Atlantis all of

England and parts of NW European coast will sink into the sea, in

contrast, the sunken Azores region, the Isle of Poseidonis, will again

be raised from the sea. Lemuria was destroyed by fire. Atlantis was

destroyed by water- the Flood and the destruction of the fourth race and of the last antediluvian monster-animals.

Aleister Crowley wrote an esoteric history of Atlantis, although this may be intended more as metaphor than as fact.

The concept of Atlantis also entered National Socialist (Nazi) theory

through Theosophy and Anthroposophy. In 1938, Heinrich Himmler

organized a search in Tibet to find a remnant of the white Atlanteans.

According to Julius Evola (Revolt Against the Modern World, 1934), the

Atlanteans were Hyperboreans - Nordic supermen who originated on the

North pole. Similarly, Alfred Rosenberg (The Myth of the Twentieth

Century, 1930) spoke of a " Nordic-Atlantean " or " Aryan-Nordic " master

race. (Nordic aliens)

According to Julius Evola (Revolt Against the Modern World, 1934), the Atlanteans were Hyperboreans, Nordic supermen, who originated on the North pole.

Similarly, Alfred Rosenberg (The Myth of the Twentieth Century, 1930) spoke of a " nordic-atlantean " or " aryan-nordic " master race.

In the mid-1940s, J. R. R. Tolkien reshaped his legendarium to contain elements of an Atlantis myth . The Lord of the Rings (1954/5) contains only obscure references to this, and the myth was published only posthumously, in the Silmarillion (1977).

Jane ' work also contains references to Atlantis.

Rudolf Steiner wrote of the cultural evolution of Atlantis.
