Atlantis
Our
Rockefeller textbooks tell us that nobody in the ancient world had ever
crossed the Atlantic before Columbus.
But the voyage of the Mayflower only
took 60 days. Are we honestly to believe that no one had ever previously
taken the 60 day trip in all of human history? The great civilizations of
ancient Egypt, Babylon, Sumer, Greece, Rome, and the seafaring Phoenicians
never wondered what was out West past 59 days sailing?
If we accept this improbability, we have to accept many more along with it,
because
the native American cultures of the “New World” and the Eurasian cultures of
the “Old World” were already far too similar to have naturally evolved
separately.
For instance, compare the Peruvians and Egyptians. The number of
complex comparisons between the two peoples far surpasses serendipity. Both
cultures believed in an immaterial soul which reincarnates through multiple
physical existences.
They both worshipped the Sun, Moon, and Stars, and held
amazing astronomical knowledge, much of which has just recently been
rediscovered. Both peoples built amazing stone pyramids, often containing
boulders too heavy for modern cranes to lift, quarried from miles away. Both
cultures embalmed/mummified their dead. Peruvian and Egyptian royalty both
wrapped children’s heads in the practice of “skull elongation” (like
trepanning) to attain higher consciousness.
They both divided the year into
twelve months. Both peoples had a women’s order of vestal virgins vowed to
celibacy, and violating their vows was punished on both continents by their
being buried alive. Both cultures offered animal sacrifices and divined the
future by examining the animal’s entrails. They both built huge arches and
strewed the road with flowers for returning home triumphant warriors/heroes.
At the beginning of each agricultural season during a big celebration, the
Kings placed their hands to the plough and ploughed the first furrow.
Are we
to believe such incredibly specific practices developed completely
independent of one another?
“When the Spanish missionaries first set foot upon the soil of America, in
the fifteenth century, they were amazed to find the Cross was as devoutly
worshipped by the red Indians as by themselves.”
Ignatius Donnelly,
“Atlantis: The Antediluvian World”
Ancient symbols like the cross and the swastika already existed in the
Americas long
before the Europeans came. Egyptian symbols like the “Akeru” back to back
lion gods hieroglyph are found in Olmec temples from ancient Mexico.
We have
also found Mayan art and glyphs in Egypt.
Modern Mayans and tribal Egyptians
both recognize the languages found in their countries as that of their
ancestors and both can read much of it. We’ve discovered artwork 23000 years
old clearly depicting negroes and caucasians in Central America. The
establishment remains silent on all these issues.
The similarities between Old World European and American peoples are vast
and difficult to accept as mere coincidence.
The use of cement, bricks,
arches and advanced masonry/architecture is found on both sides of the
Atlantic, as well as roads, stone and suspension bridges; Metallurgy, ore
mining of copper, tin, bronze, gold, silver, and iron; Sculpture, painting,
engraving, agriculture, navigation, large sailing vessels, pottery,
glasswork, and music; both Old and New Worlders fashioned the same weapons
like bows and arrows, spears, swords, battleaxes, darts and slings; baptism,
confession, penance all long existed on both continents.
“If we find on both sides of the Atlantic precisely the same arts, sciences,
religious beliefs, habits, customs, and traditions, it is absurd to say that
the peoples of the two continents arrived separately, by precisely the same
steps, at precisely the same ends. When we consider the
resemblance of the
civilizations of the Mediterranean nations to one another, no man is silly
enough to pretend that Rome, Greece, Egypt, Assyria, Phoenicia, each
spontaneously and separately invented the arts, sciences, habits, and
opinions in which they agreed; but we proceed to trace out the thread of
descent or connection from one to another.
Why should a rule of
interpretation prevail, as between the two sides of the Atlantic, different
from that which holds good as to the two sides of the Mediterranean Sea? If,
in the one case, similarity of origin has unquestionably produced similarity
of arts, customs, and condition, why, in the other, should not similarity of
arts, customs, and condition prove similarity of origin? Is there any
instance in the world of two peoples, without knowledge of or intercourse
with each other, happening upon the same invention, whether that invention
be an arrowhead or a steam-engine?
If it required of mankind a lapse of at
least six thousand years before it began anew the work of invention, and
took up the thread of original thought where Atlantis dropped it, what
probability is there of three or four separate nations all advancing at the
same speed to precisely the same arts and opinions? The proposition is
untenable. If, then, we prove that, on both sides of the Atlantic,
have descended one from the other, or have radiated from some common
source.”
Ignatius Donnelly, “Atlantis: The Antediluvian World”
Stubborn Egyptologists/Anthropologists and our Rockefeller textbooks also
claim that the ancient Egyptian, Sumerian, and Babylonian cultures all
somehow started at the height of their civilization and rapidly devolved as
their empires fell.
This is standard accepted “fact” but how is it possible
that such advanced cultures just magically appeared at the beginning of
recorded history?
“The region of Mesopotamia (Sumeria), which seems to have suddenly appeared
out of nowhere (according to Academia), had a high knowledge of astronomy,
architecture, a pantheon of gods, agriculture, gourmet foods, and courts. It
is considered to be the cradle of civilization. Mesopotamia, in the north,
encompassed the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, which flowed from the Garden of
Eden, in the Genesis stories.
The places known as Atlantis, Dilmun, and
Lemuria are mentioned in the records of Sumeria. This is an obvious
indication that these societies or cities predated the Sumerian era.
Therefore, the Mesopotamian civilization did not suddenly appear out of
nowhere. It was more likely a relocated ancient ‘Lost Civilization’”
James
Arthur, “Mushrooms and Mankind” (37)
“One of the great mysteries that Egyptologists can never explain is this
devolution, this retrograde. You look at the old kingdom, the pyramids, the
type of hieroglyphs, the type of jewelry, the type of art produced, and then
as it goes forward to the middle kingdom it devolves, it’s less advanced to
the new kingdom when they didn’t even build in granite or limestone anymore
but in sandstone a much softer stone, easier to work with.”
Egyptologist
Stephen Mehler, “Egypt and the Ancients.” Coast 2 Coast interview, August,
2004
Are we honestly to believe that advanced mathematics, medicine,
astronomy, architecture, art, writing, and a complex spirituality were
already fully developed from the very beginning of human civilization?
“How does a complex civilization spring full-blown into being? Look at a 1905
automobile and compare it to a modern one. There is no mistaking the process
of ‘development.’ But in Egypt there are no parallels. Everything is right
there at the start.”
John Anthony West, Egyptologist
“The ancient civilization of the land we call Egypt has been pronounced by
archaeologists as flawless of its type from the very first. It reveals none
of the painful steps from primeval beginnings passing through the
Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Bronze Age, to that of Iron. It apparently burst
upon the scene into exotic radiance, its perfected civilization accordingly
having been described as a miracle. Science cannot admit any such miracle
and another explanation must be forthcoming.”
Comyns Beaumont
“What we call ‘Egypt’ lasted longer than the later Hellenic, Roman,
Byzantine, Medieval, Renaissance, Enlightenment, Industrial, and modern ages
put together and multiplied by three. The manipulators of history,
therefore, purposely concentrate our attention on the latter days, in order
to prevent us delving back into Egypt's past. They do so, understandably,
for they have everything to lose once humankind becomes reintroduced to the
archive of knowledge and wisdom that was common to our ancestors.”
Michael Tsarion, “Astrotheology and Sidereal Mythology”
“Why did the Sumerians spend thousands of man-years of effort to build and
maintain hundreds of temples and ziggurats to their gods? The official
explanation is that they invented their deities as an imaginative
psychological response to a hostile, incomprehensible environment. The
Sumerian beliefs are thus dismissed as a classic example of mankind’s need
for religion. However, such facile solutions leave unexplained the origin of
the Sumerians’ sophisticated scientific knowledge. Inventing gods is one
thing, but inventing the technology to measure the movements of the planets
and stars is another thing entirely!”
Alan F. Alford, “Gods of the New
Millennium – The Shattering Truth of Human Origins” 64
The Sumerians already knew of all the planets in the solar system and their
relative sizes and distances from one another. They also built massive
pyramids and ziggurats just like
every other advanced ancient culture.
Today there are hundreds of pyramids
still standing all over the world from India to Peru.
Cultures separated by
the Atlantic, who supposedly never discovered each other’s existence, built
these giant triangular structures, aligned them to cardinal directions,
encoded within them sacred geometry/math, and used them as a sepulture.
“As Keel says in Disneyland of the Gods: We know that pyramid building was
once a universal practice throughout the world. Over six thousand years ago
unknown peoples were assembling great pyramids in Mexico. Gigantic manmade
mounds were constructed in China, Great Britain, North America, and on
remote Pacific islands while the Egyptians were still living in mud huts
along the Nile. During World War II
pilots flying ‘the
hump’ reported seeing one or more massive pyramids
standing silently in isolated Himalaya valleys.
Of the ubiquitousness and
similarity of pyramids,
David Hatcher Childress states: Mayan pyramids are
found from Central America to as far away as the Indonesian island of Java.
The pyramid of Sukuh, on the slopes of Mount Lawu near Surakarta in central
Java is an amazing temple with stone stelae and a step pyramid that would
match any in the jungles of Central America. The pyramid is in fact
virtually identical to the pyramids found at the ancient Mayan site at
Uaxactun, near Tikal.
In speaking of the global civilization, Keel
elucidates the weaknesses of the current archaeological paradigm: All these
things seem to be interrelated, as if they were once part of some great
civilization—a common culture that spread throughout the world and then died
…
We have a reasonably complete history of the past two thousand years, and a
half-baked archaeological reconstruction of the past five thousand years. But
there are so many gaps in our knowledge that most the popular archaeological
theories really have very little merit. Indeed, we can’t even be sure that
the Egyptians built the Great Pyramid …
In fact, the Great Pyramid is
admittedly much more ancient than the Egyptians of history, as Hotema
relates: When the most ancient Egyptians first saw the mysterious Sphinx and
the great Pyramid of Gizeh, only their tops projected above the windblown
sand of the desert. They knew no more about the purpose of these structures,
their builders, or when they were built, than we do”
Acharya S., “The Christ
Conspiracy”
(279)
The Great Pyramids at Giza, even by today’s standards, are absolute miracles
in architecture, masonry/construction,
mathematics, and astronomy. The dimensions of the pyramids are extremely
accurate and the site was leveled to within a fraction of an inch over the
entire base.
This is comparable to the accuracy possible with modern
construction/surveying methods and
laser leveling.
“Beneath the now removed outer layer, the Pyramid’s construction consists of
approximately 2,500,000 dressed stones, mostly yellow limestone, but with
harder granite for certain interior features. The total mass of the Great
Pyramid is estimated at around 90 million cubic feet, which would weigh
between 67 million tons. To put this into
proper perspective, the highest cathedral nave in Europe would fit three
times into its height, and its mass exceeds that of all the cathedrals,
churches and chapels built in England since the beginning of Christianity!
The Great Pyramid is often cited as the largest building on Earth, with
twice the volume and thirty times the mass of New York’s famous Empire State
Building. The Pyramid rests on an artificially leveled platform, which is
less than 22 inches thick, yet is still almost perfectly level, with errors
of less than an inch across its entire area, despite supporting such an
enormous weight for thousands of years. The base of the Pyramid is set out
perfectly square no mean feat of engineering in itself.”
Alan F. Alford,
“Gods of the New Millennium – The Shattering Truth of Human Origins” (41)
Up until the last millennium the pyramids were covered completely with
smooth polished limestone casing blocks. In other words, the pyramids were
not an irregular looking series of steps with a missing capstone like they
are now.
They were covered with 115,000 10ton casing sheets of polished
limestone fitted so perfectly that a razor’s edge couldn’t get between
casings, less than 1/50th of an inch.
The Egyptians wrote how it reflected the sun like a mirror on all sides.
Today there are still a few polished casings leftover at the base of one
side.
“Our first example of twentieth century engineering in the Giza pyramids is
the six sided limestone casing blocks, which were polished and precision,
carved to fit perfectly with each other and the core stones, with joints
measuring less than one fiftieth of an inch. As if this was not incredible
enough, all of these stones were found to be joined together with an
extremely fine but strong cement, which had been applied evenly on
semi vertical faces across a surface expanse covering 21 acres on the Great
pyramid alone! …
The second example is the internal passages of the Great
Pyramid. These passages have been measured countless times and found to be
perfectly straight, with a deviation, in the case of the Descending Passage,
of less than one fiftieth of an inch along its masonry part. Over a length
of 150 feet that is incredible. If one includes the further 200 feet of
passage bored through the solid rock, the error is less than one quarter of
an inch. Now this is engineering of the highest precision, comparable with
twentieth century technology, but supposedly achieved 4,500 years ago: Our
third example is the machining of granite within the pyramids.
One of the
first archaeologists to carry out a thorough survey of the Pyramid was
Petrie, who was particularly struck by the granite coffer in the King’s
Chamber. The precision with which the coffer had been carved out of a single
block of
extremely hard granite struck him as quite remarkable. Petrie estimated that
diamond tipped drills would need to have been applied with a pressure of two
tons, in order to hollow out the granite box.
It was not a serious
suggestion as to the method actually used. but simply his way of expressing
the impossibility of creating that artifact using
nineteenth century technology. It is still a difficult challenge, even with
twentieth century technology. And yet we are supposed to believe that Khufu
achieved this at a time when the Egyptians possessed only the most basic
copper hand tools.”
Alan F. Alford, “Gods of the New Millennium – The
Shattering Truth of Human Origins” (434)
Under the pyramids are large tunnels hundreds of meters deep drilled into
limestone bedrock with almost perfect 90 degree angles.
This kind of
drilling technology has only existed (in our current paradigm) for under a
century, so how were they drilling, chiseling and lifting all these
megalithic structures? In a famous meeting with a panel of Egyptologists,
author of “Giza Power Plant” Christopher Dunn brought a slab of granite, a
hammer and a copper chisel and asked for a demonstration of how Egyptians
were supposed to have chiseled out thousand ton granite obelisks using simple
hand tools.
After a few whacks at it, the copper chisel had a deep indent
and not a chip of granite was displaced.
“Chris Dunn found that many artifacts bore the same marks as conventional
twentieth century machining methods sawing, lathe and milling practices He
was particularly interested, however, in the evidence of a modern processing
technique known as trepanning.
This process is used to excavate a hollow in
a block of hard stone by first drilling, and then breaking out, the
remaining “core” Petrie had studied both the hollows and the cores, and been
astonished to find spiral grooves on the core which indicated a drill feed
rate of 0.100 inch per revolution of the drill. This initially seemed to be
impossible.
In 1983, Dunn had ascertained that industrial diamond drills
could cut granite with a drill rotation speed of 900 revolutions per minute
and a feed rate of 0.0002 inch per revolution. What these technicalities
actually mean is that the ancient Egyptians were cutting their granite with
a feed rate 500 times greater than 1983 technology!”
Alan F. Alford, “Gods
of the New Millennium – The Shattering Truth of Human Origins” (44)
“On the granite core the spiral of the cut sinks 1 inch in the circumference
of 6 inches, a rate of ploughing out which is astonishing … These rapid
spiral grooves cannot be ascribed to anything but the descent of the drill
into the granite under enormous pressure.”
W.M. Flinders Petrie, “The
Pyramids and Temples at Gizeh”
“Wasn’t it peculiar that at the supposed dawn of human civilization, more
than 4500 years ago, the ancient Egyptians had acquired what sounded like
industrialage drills packing a ton or more of punch and capable of slicking
through hard stones like hot knives through butter?”
Graham Hancock,
“Fingerprints of the Gods”
“In the first and second pyramids at Giza there are granite portcullises in
the lower passages which still baffle experts today. Firstly their complex
designs suggest a use much more advanced than deterring robbers (the
Egyptologist explanation). It would take about 50 men to lift the portcullis
slabs into place, yet the narrow corridors they’re positioned into could
have only been occupied by a few men at a time.”
W.M. Flinders Petrie, “The
Pyramids and Temples at Gizeh,” (36)
The pyramids also encode high mathematics supposedly unknown to the simple
ancient Egyptians. To begin with the pyramids are located precisely on the
30th degree latitude and aligned to within 3 arc minutes of true north.
These are beyond coincidence so it can be assumed that they could very
accurately measure both latitude and longitude. The ratio of the great
pyramid’s height to its base perimeter is exactly Pi (3.14). The “Kings
Chamber” and other rooms are perfect “golden rectangles” expressing the
mystical number Phi 1.618.
The ratio between successive numbers in the
Fibonacci sequence increasingly approach Phi as you go on from
0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34… the resulting graph is known as the fractal “golden
spiral” and looks like a conch shell. Establishment Egyptologists say these
mathematical considerations are all coincidence maintaining that ancient
Egyptians didn’t possess these concepts.
But the reality is, the ancient
Egyptians did possess higher math and they purposely encoded it into their
construction.
“Some routine mathematical games were built into the dimensions of the
sarcophagus. For example, it had an internal volume of 1166.4 liters and an
external volume of exactly twice that, 2332.8 liters. Such a precise
coincidence could not have been arrived at accidentally: the walls of the
coffer had been cut to machine-age tolerances by craftsmen of enormous skill
and experience.”
Graham Hancock, “Fingerprints of the Gods”
In the Kings Chamber the floor diagonal is precisely twice the room’s
height. W.M. Flinders Petrie says they managed to place the Kings Chamber
perfectly,
“where the vertical section of the Pyramid was halved, where the
area of the horizontal section was half that of the base, where the diagonal
from corner to corner was equal to the length of the base, and where the
width of the face was equal to half the diagonal of the base.”
Do you
suppose these mathematics were accidental?
Egyptologists say that the Giza pyramids were built for three pharaohs over
the course of a hundred years. There are over 2.5 million stones, so if you
built 24 hours a day for 100 years that means fitting one (average 3.5 ton)
stone into place every 8.5 minutes. Using current technology, multiple
cranes and work crews, we still couldn’t make that kind of time, nor could
we match the craftsmanship.
Six million tons of stone, underground tunnels, chambers, corridors, 45/90
degree shafts, pi and phi ratios, golden rectangles and other mathematical
inclusions, perfect cardinal alignments, right angles, astrological
considerations and flawless masonry. How did ancient man the whole world
over build these huge magnificent pyramids? They stacked stones so heavy,
many of which cannot be lifted into place with the technology and machinery
available today.
They quarried these stones from miles away and fitted them
together so seamlessly that you can’t fit a blade between them.
Also in Egypt tens of thousands of diorite bowls have been found with
hieroglyphs engraved.
Diorite is one
of the hardest stones on the planet, harder than iron, yet intricate
inscriptions have been made, not through the use of chisels or scraping but
some unknown ancient technology. Whatever it was, was capable of etching
lines 1/150th of an inch wide, often in sets of parallel lines separated by
a mere 1/30th of an inch. The same kind of workmanship has been found in
vases, urns, and other pottery unearthed at the Pyramid of Zoser.
Graham
Hancock says:
“There was no technology known to have been available to the
Ancient Egyptians capable of achieving such results. Nor, for that matter,
would any stone-carver today be able to match them, even if he were working
with the best tungsten-carbide tools. The implication, therefore, is that an
unknown or secret technology had been put to use in Ancient Egypt.”
There
are even hieroglyphics in the Temple of Abydos that are clearly of a
helicopter and other advanced vehicles! How do we explain these with the
current paradigm?
The Sphinx, which Egyptologists say is less than 5,000 years old, is
actually at least 10,000 years old based on its weathering alone. Geologists
confirm that it has been eroded by massive amounts of water which hasn’t
been present in the Sahara for about 10,000 years.
Egyptologists claim this
weathering is just wind/sand erosion, but Geologists like Robert Schoch find
that hard to swallow.
“In October 1991, Dr Robert Schoch, a geologist at Boston University,
presented detailed evidence that the Sphinx was thousands of years older
than the commonly accepted date of 2500 BC.’ His conclusion was based on the
weathering profile of the limestone rock, out of which the Sphinx had been
carved.
Visitors to the Sphinx today can clearly see the vertical weathering
profile in the limestone trench surrounding the Sphinx. This erosion,
according to the science of geology, could only be the result of prolonged
rainfall, in contrast to the dry weather experienced in Egypt since 2500 BC.
Based on the climatic evidence, Schoch estimated that the Sphinx had to be
between 9,000 and 12,000 years old, when the climate in Egypt was
much wetter.”
Alan
F. Alford, “Gods of the New
Millennium – The Shattering Truth of Human Origins” (934)
“In fact, although
Egypt is often given
the honor of being the
originator of much
human culture, the
Egyptians themselves
recorded that they
were the inheritors of
a great civilization that came from elsewhere. Indeed, the Egyptian culture
seemingly appeared out of nowhere at a high level of development, as did the
SumeroMesopotamian and South American. This fact is explainable if the
civilizers were advanced groups coming from elsewhere, from lands that had
been destroyed by climatic change, war or other Cataclysm.”
Acharya S., “The
Christ Conspiracy” (280)
Tlahchiualtepetl, the “manmade mountain” in Mexico is a ziggurat three times
the size of the great pyramid. The base length of the Pyramid of the Sun at
Teotihuacán is identical in length to the base of the Great Pyramid at Giza.
Where are those odds?
Teotihuacán means “the place where men become Gods.”
They claim their pyramids and temples were instruments for transforming the
soul after death, exactly as the Egyptians did. This theme is all over the
ancient world. Ancient Tibetans, the Egyptians and native Americans all had
complex systems, multistage challenges for recently deceased souls to
overcome in the afterlife. Specific stages of the different cultures
afterlife journeys even matchup.
The Mayans and the Egyptians both believed
in stellar rebirth where Kings, Pharaohs, and Heroes die and are reborn as
stars.
“Archaeologists all over the world have realized that much of prehistory as
written in the existing textbooks, is inadequate, some of it quite simply
wrong…It has been suggested…that the changes now at work in prehistory
herald the shift to a ‘new paradigm,’…made necessary by the collapse of the
first paradigm.”
Colin Renfrew, “Before Civilization”
The Noah flood myth from the bible was attributed to Zisudra and Atrahasis
in
Sumerian/Mesopotamian culture three thousand years earlier. In Aztec
mythology only Coxcoxtli and his wife Xochiquetzal were forewarned of the
flood by God and survived by building a huge boat. They wandered for 104
years before landing in “Antlan.”
The Mechoacanesecs of Central America say
Tezpi built a large boat, loaded it with animals, grains, seeds, and escaped
the flood with his wife and children. The Maya say “the great mother and
great father” survived and repopulated the world after the flood. The
Chickasaw native Americans say only one family and two animals of every kind
were saved from the flood.
The same basic story is found in almost 600
cultures around the world.
“From almost every culture around the world there emerge more than five
hundred strikingly similar legends of a great Flood? These legends all
share
a common theme of mankind being swept away with the exception of one man and
his family who survived. We in the West generally know the survivor’s name
as Noah, but to the Aztecs he was Nene, whilst in the Near East he was
AtraHasis, Utnapishtim or Ziusudra.
As for his means of escape, the Bible
describes an ‘ark’ or boat, Mesopotamian records describe a submersible
vessel, and the Aztec version refers to a hollowed out log. According to the
Aztec legend, men were saved by turning into fish. Ancient texts from the
Near East speak of the Flood as a major catastrophe not a local or trivial
event, but a great time divider.”
Alan F. Alford, “Gods of the New
Millennium – The Shattering Truth of Human Origins” (74)
There are flood myths from the Inuits of Alaska to the Canarians of Ecuador;
From the Tupinamba of Brazil and the Araucnaians of Chile to the Pehuenche
and Yamana of Tierra del Fuego; From the Sumerians and early Mesopotamians
to the Hopi, Iroquois, and Sioux Indians of North America. Thailand, Laos,
Australia, Japan, China, Greece, Egypt, India, North, South and Central
America. The story is found all the world over, but the claims are quite
difficult to swallow. Is the flood just a story, a myth with metaphorical
meaning, or a literal account of global flooding?
“Perhaps the greatest myth being purveyed is that myths are just myths.”
Michael Tsarion
In Japan the
Yonaguni megalith is undoubtedly manmade yet it has been
underwater since at least 8000 BC. It is 8 stories high, 500 feet long with
internal and external right angles, steps, rooms, and “the Stage” altar-like
area with huge human faces and headdresses carved into the stone.
In the
Gulf of Cambay in Northwest India are two multiple mile long/wide underwater
cities which taken together are the size
of Manhattan.
About 2000 human fossilized remains have been found in these
cities and have all carbon dated to around 7500 BC. Many underwater ruins
have been found off the coast of Cuba 2,200 feet below sea level. There have
been over 200 sunken cities found in the Mediterranean alone. The
possibility of a literal flood is not to be scoffed at.
Perhaps only the
more specific elements of the story are metaphorical.
“Plato tells us of an advanced civilization that existed 9000 years before
himself when the Atlantic was navigable and traversed by people the world
over … One of the most revealing details of Timaeus is its mention of the
‘opposite continent,’ an unmistakable reference to America. Its inclusion
proves not only that the ancient Greeks knew what lay on the other side of
the Atlantic Ocean 2,000 years before Columbus rediscovered it, but
underscores the veracity of Plato’s Atlantis account.”
Frank Joseph, “The Atlantis Encyclopedia” (269)
Plato wrote about an advanced civilization that flourished in Atlantis
around 10,000 BC. He even made the point that some take Atlantis to be a
myth but it is absolutely true. He even said when the flood occurred
figuring approximately 9600 BC. Atlantean-like legends are on every inhabited
continent and always include advanced beings often revered as gods with high
technology and developed culture.
Nearly 600 cultures around the world speak
about a world wide flood caused by angry gods that all but wiped out this
advanced civilization.
"You do not know that there formerly dwelt in your land the fairest and
noblest race of men which ever lived, and that you and your whole city
[Athens] are descended from a seed or remnant of them which survived. The
power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean, for in those days the Atlantic
was navigable; and there was an island situated in from of the straits which
are by you called the Pillars of Hercules: the island was larger than Libya
and Asia put together, and was the way to other islands …
Now in this island
of Atlantis there was a great and wonderful empire which had rule over the
whole island, and several others, and over parts of the continent,
and furthermore the men of Atlantis had subjected the parts of Libya within
the columns of Hercules as far as Egypt and of Europe as far as Tyrrhenia
[Italy]."
Plato, “Timaeus”
It’s interesting that King “Atlas” is said to have ruled “Atlantis” an
ancient sunken city in the “Atlantic” Ocean. There is also a Mount Atlas in
Morocco and the etymology of Atlas/Atlantic is indeed from Atlantis.
Strangely enough, however, as the Atlantean scholar Comyns Beaumont wrote,
“The word (Atlantis) possesses no derivation from any known language of the
old world either ancient or modern. Yet, among the so-called ‘native races’
of America, it is a living word.”
“The Key to World History,” 19
The Toltecs, Nahuatlacas, and Aztecs of South America and all the races that
settled Mexico traced their ancestors back to a starting point called
“Aztlan” or “Atlan,” in the Atlantic. It was a land they described as “too
fair and beautiful to be left willingly” which was lost under the sea after
a great flood. Aztec temples are called “Teocalli” which interestingly
compares with the Greek “theos” (God) and “kalias” (house/dwelling of).
Europeans first settling in Delaware and Maryland found a river named by the
natives “Potomac,” which is just like the Greek word “Potomos” meaning
“river.” The native Basques of Western Europe also claim to be descendants
from a continent called “Atlaintika” which sank beneath the waves.
The
Basque language itself shares no lingual affinities with any other European
language but is very similar to native American languages.
The natives of
Mindanao in the
Philippines are the “Atas” who have the same flood myth and claim descent
from light skinned invaders who intermarried with the aboriginals.
“Look at it! An ‘Atlas’ mountain on the shore of Africa; an ‘Atlan’ town on
the shore of America; the ‘Atlantes’ living along the north and west coast
of Africa; an Aztec people from Aztlan, in Central America; an ocean rolling
between the two worlds called the ‘Atlantic;’ a mythological deity called
‘Atlas’ holding the world on his shoulders; and an immemorial tradition of
an island of Atlantis. Can all these things be the result of accident?”
Ignatius Donnelly, “Atlantis: The Antediluvian World”
With the Atlantic Ocean and the Atlas Mountains in Morocco we see the theme
of water and hills/mountains being equated with Atlas – this is repeated
world wide. In Japan, Atago is a hill in the center of Tokyo where gods
brought civilization to Japan.
Atagi are the Japanese priests protecting
wisdom from prehistory. In Tongo, Ata mountain and memorial are devoted to
red-haired, fair-skinned gods who came long ago and blessed the natives.
Italy, comes from Italia, which comes from Atalya, a word meaning “land of
Atlas” Atalya is also the name of an ancient ceremonial mound in Biarritz.
Across the Atlantic, the Aztecs also venerated a holy mountain by that name.
Atalaia is the name of a small Quechua Indian town and Atalya was a PreIncan
city found by archaeologists and confirmed by local history. In Guatemala
where the Mayan civilization thrived, near Lake Atitlan is a stone tower
called Atalaya. The mountains of Indonesian Sumatra are called Atjeh.
The Guanche natives on the Canary Islands call mountains “Ataras” and their
Atlas figure was named “Ater.” Tenerite (Guanch) natives call themselves
Atinach, which means “people of the sky god.”
Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus
and other classical writers describe the “Atarantes” people who lived on the
Atlantic shores of Morocco. “Atcha” is ancient Egyptian for an advanced, but
sunken city.
Egyptian gods or heroes were Atum, Atfih, Athothes, and many
other “At” names. Atchafalaya means “Long River” to the Choctaw Indians
whose flood myth syncs. Atea is the Marquesans ancestral progenitor, like
Egypt’s Atum. Atiamuri is the site of huge megalithic ruins in New Zealand,
which contains At and Mu. Atiu is an extinct volcano in the Cook Islands.
The Pawnee Indian’s, adept at astrology with the usual flood myth had the
sky god “Atius.” Nahuatl is the Aztec’s language and almost all their gods
names end in “atl.” Their Atlas character is Atlanteotl and Atlantika means
“we live by the sea.”
The Taureg natives of Morocco’s name for water is also
Atl. The Tuaregs claim decent from the “Atlantes” ancient Moroccans written
about by Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus and others. Atla was a giantess Norse
god. Atlakvith (meaning Punishment of Atla) is the name of their written
record of their Atlantean oral history. Atlamal is another of these myths
which means “The story of Atla.” Atla is also an Otomi Indian town in
Mexico.
The Otomi have a ritual dance called the “Acatlaxqui” with 10
dancers to represent the 10 kings of Atlantis from the ancient ancestry. The
Aztec seagod was “Atlahua” and their great flood was “Atemoztli. Today’s
Alca on the Gulf of Uraba was called Atlan before the Spanish conquest.
Atlan is the name of a Venezuelan village of Paria Indians who say their
home country was a prosperous island in the Atlantic inhabited by wealthy
seafarers from which they escaped the flood.
Autlan was home of the advanced
Tarascans of Michoacan who say they were inheritors of a drowned island
civilization. Atland is the Northern European name given to Atlantis as
shown in the medieval Frisian manuscript, Oera Linda Bok. Atlanersa was the
5th century BC King of Nubia, whose name meant “Royal descendant of Atlan.”
Atao was a Minoan god thought to be Atlas.
And later in Crete, Atana was the
name of a their language/dialect. Aton was the oldest sun deity in Egypt and
Atonatiuh was the
ancient Aztec sun god. Another name for Egypt’s Sun God was Ra like Rama of
the Hindus, Rana of the Toltecs, Rayam of the Yemen, and the Raymi Peruvian
Sun festival. (Frank Joseph, “The Atlantis Encyclopedia” 2943)

Is anyone
prepared to accept all this etymology as coincidence?
-
Could there really
have been an advanced ancient Atlantean civilization?
-
Could the myth of a
sunken island continent be more than a myth?
“Upon that part of the African continent nearest to the site of Atlantis we
find a chain of mountains, known from the most ancient times as the Atlas
Mountains. Whence this name Atlas, if it be not from the name of the great
king of Atlantis? And if this be not its origin, how comes
it that we find it in the most northwestern corner of Africa? And how does
it happen that in the time of Herodotus there dwelt near this mountain-chain
a people called the 'Atlantes', probably a remnant of a colony from Solon's
island?
How comes it that the people of the Barbary States were known to the
Greeks, Romans, and Carthaginians as the ‘Atlantes,’ this name being
especially applied to the inhabitants of Fezzan and Bilma? Where did they
get the name from? There is no etymology for it east of the Atlantic Ocean.”
Francios Lenormant "Ancient History of the East," (253)
Scholar and renowned linguist Charles Berlitz of Berlitz language schools
spoke 32 languages and wrote many books on Atlantis. He came to believe in
Atlantis after his research traced all world languages back to what he
thought must be a single ancient dialect. Many famous people have believed
in the authenticity of Atlantis.
Francis Bacon wrote, “The New Atlantis,”
H.G. Wells wrote “Men Like Gods” about Atlantis, and William Blake the poet
was a believer. The two best-known prophets in history
Nostradamus and
Edgar
Cayce both spoke of Atlantis. Ignatius Donnelly was a Minnesota Governor,
Congressman and Senator who wrote extensively about Atlantis.
The most
revered and well-known philosopher in history, Plato, wrote about Atlantis
specifically saying it was both a literal story and a myth.
“Iamblichos (was) an important fourth-century neo-Platonist philosopher who
insisted upon the historical validity of Plato’s Atlantis account, but
stressed, as did Plato, its allegorical significance.”
Frank Joseph, “The
Atlantis Encyclopedia (143)
Silenus told Midas that there was another continent besides the commonly
known ones. He said there was "a country where gold and silver are so
plentiful that they are esteemed no more than we esteem iron."
St. Clement,
in his Epistle to the Corinthians, said there were other worlds beyond the
ocean.
Diodorus Siculus said that the Phoenicians discovered,
"a large island
in the Atlantic Ocean, beyond the Pillars of Hercules, several days' sail
from the coast of Africa. This island abounded in all manner of riches. The
soil was exceedingly fertile; the scenery was diversified by rivers,
mountains, and forests. It was the custom of the inhabitants to retire
during the summer to magnificent country houses, which stood in the midst of
beautiful gardens. Fish and game were found in great abundance; the climate
was delicious, and the trees bore fruit at all seasons of the year."
The ancient Greek poet, Hesiod, described the world before the “fall”
saying,
“Man lived like Gods, without vices or passions, vexation or toil.
In happy companionship with divine beings they passed their days in
tranquility
and joy, living together in perfect equality, united by mutual
confidence and love. The Earth was more beautiful than now and spontaneously
yielded an abundant variety of fruits. Human beings and animals spoke the
same language and conversed with each other (telepathy). Men were considered
mere boys at a hundred years old. They had none of the infirmities of age to
trouble them and when they passed to regions of superior life, it was in a
gentle slumber.”
“The religion of the Atlanteans, as Plato tells us, was pure and simple;
they made no regular sacrifices but fruits and flowers; they worshipped the
sun. In Peru a single deity was worshipped, and the sun, his most glorious
work, was honored as his representative. Quetzalcoatl, the founder of the
Aztecs, condemned all sacrifice but that of fruits and flowers.
The first
religion of Egypt was pure and simple; its sacrifices were fruits and
flowers; temples were erected to the sun, 'Ra', throughout Egypt. In Peru
the great festival of the sun was called 'Ra'-mi. The Phoenicians worshipped
Baal and Moloch; the one represented the beneficent, and the other the
injurious powers of the sun.”
Ignatius Donnelly, “Atlantis and the
Antediluvian World”
Homer, Plutarch, and many other ancient writers mention islands situated in
the Atlantic "several thousand stadia from the Pillars of Hercules."
Pillars, obelisks, and towers have all been shown to have Masonic
significance. Hercules performing his twelve labors has been shown to
reference the Sun, the mushroom, and consciousness in general.
So are the
pillars of Hercules real or metaphorical? Is Atlantis real or metaphorical?
Could it be both?
“The Atlantis story was preserved at the Canary Islands perhaps in far
greater detail
than even Plato’s account before the imposition of Christianity, which
affected Guanche culture like a blight. Perhaps the most revealing of all
surviving material connecting the Canary Islanders to Atlantis is found in
the Tois Aethiopikes by Marcellus.
In 45 A.D., he recorded that ‘the
inhabitants of the Atlantic island of Poseidon preserve a tradition handed
down to them by their ancestors of the existence of an Atlantic island of
immense size of not less than a thousand stadia [about 115 miles], which had
really existed in those seas, and which, during a long period of time,
governed all the islands of the Atlantic Ocean.’
Pliny the Elder seconded
Marcellus, writing that the Guanches were in fact the direct descendants of
the disaster that sank Atlantis. Proclus reported that they still told the
story of Atlantis in his day, circa 410 A.D.”
Frank Joseph, “The Atlantis Encyclopedia” (130)
“Marcellus, in a work on the Ethiopians, speaks of seven islands lying in
the Atlantic Ocean probably the Canaries and the inhabitants of these
islands, he says, preserve the memory of a much greater island, Atlantis,
‘which had for a long time exercised dominion over the smaller ones.’"
Didot
Müller, "Fragmenta Historicorum Græcorum," vol. IV (443)
Many aspects of the Atlantean myth must be literal, but others must be
allegorical. The idea of 1 island ruling over 7 sounds more metaphorical.
There are several islands in the Canaries and to say there are 7 major
islands, 8, 9, 20 or just 1 is arbitrary.
Perhaps Atlantis, this one
excellent place, had dominion over the seven chakras, energetic islands in
the oceans of our bodies.
“The Maya have much in common with the Indians as well. As to the
similarities between the Mayan and Hindu religion and language, Hinduism
Today says, ‘Chacla in Mayan refers to force centers of the body similar to
the chakras of Hinduism. K’ultanlilni in Mayan refers to the power of God
within man which is controlled by the breath, similar in meaning to
kundalini.
Mayan chilambalam refers to a sacred space, as does Tamil
Chidambaram. Yok’hah in Maya means ‘on top of truth,’ similar to yoga in
Sanskrit.’ The Maya also had the same goddess Maya, mother of the gods and
man, as in India. Furthermore, the legendary founder of the Maya was the god
Votan or Wotan, a name identical to the god of Teutonic tribes. There are
many such correspondences between the Old and New Worlds.”
Acharya S., “The
Christ Conspiracy” (276)
So the Mayan and Indian words chakra, kundalini, and yoga share identical
sounds and meaning. The word “Maya” means “Illusion” in both languages as
well and refers to our material existence, which both cultures believe to be
illusory. They believe, as all ancient cultures believed, that we are
immaterial souls having a physical experience.
In Sanskrit, “Atl” means “to support or uphold” as Atlas was said to hold
the world on his shoulders.
Alonso de Molina’s 16th century dictionary of
the Nahuatl language, “Vocabulario En Lengua Mexicana y Castellana” says
that,
"The words Atlas and Atlantic have no satisfactory etymology in any
language known to Europe.
They are not Greek, and cannot be referred to any
known language of the Old World. But in the Nahuatl language we find
immediately the radical 'a', 'atl', which signifies water, war, and the top
of the head.”
Why the top of the head?
The word “atl” is found in the names
of most of their gods, and one of its meanings is “top of the head.”
“The tree sacred to Atlas; its branches, like his arms, supported the
heavens. The oak’s association with Atlas implies a primeval tree cult or
pillar cult, a memory of it surviving in Kritias, Plato’s Atlantis account,
when he described a ceremonial column at the very midpoint of the Temple of
Poseidon, itself located at the center of Atlantis. The Atlanteans’ oldest,
most hallowed laws were inscribed on its exterior and sacrificial bull’s
blood was shed over it by all 10
kings of Atlantis in that civilization’s premiere ritual.”
Frank Joseph,
“The Atlantis Encyclopedia” (208)
The pineal gland (6th chakra, the third-eye) lies at the geometrical center
point of the brain. Plato’s account of Atlantis described a “ceremonial
column at the very midpoint of the Temple of Poseidon, itself located at the
center of Atlantis.”
The ceremonial column (Oak Tree, Tree of Life, Staff of
Moses etc.) is the human spine with 33 vertebrae. The actual medical term
for the 33rd vertebrae which holds up the skull is “Atlas,” same as the King
of Atlantis.
In Atlantean mythology, Atlas holds up the world or the heavens
and in your body the Atlas vertebrae holds up your head/mind. In Atlantean
mythology, Atlas has 7 daughters who spend all their time guarding and
dancing around the Tree of Life; In your body you have 7 energy centers
(chakras) dancing around your spine.
Plato described Atlantis as being shaped like three concentric circles of
land separated by concentric circles of water. In other words the shape of a
bull's-eye. Why would the center of a target be called a “bull’s-eye” anyway?
The Atlas vertebra holds up your brain, your “thirdeye” is at the center of
your brain, and the center of Atlantis is a “bull’s-eye.” In fact, your
skull, which Atlas holds up,
is shaped just like Atlantis is described. At the center point is your
third eye. The third eye is separated and surrounded completely by water/fluid. Next is the
cerebral
cortex, the meat of the brain. Then around that is a layer of constantly
flowing/pumping blood. And lastly around that is the skull.
Plato said
sacrificial
bull’s blood was shed over the exterior of the Temple of Poseidon, which is
also
consistent with the blood that flows over the exterior of the brain.
“Bulls were associated with divine regents in Sumer, Egypt, Assyria, Minoan
Crete, Greece, Rome, Iberia, and Ireland. All of these cultures featured
traditions of a great deluge from which their ancestors came with all the
accoutrements of a high civilization, including, most importantly, matters
of kingship. In each people, their king was ritually identified with a
sacred bull, because it was important for a leader to identify with the
tremendous strength and aggressiveness epitomized by such an animal.
In preCeltic Ireland, the new monarch had to undergo a ceremonial bath of
bull’s broth, which he then drank from an Atlantean-like golden cup. The
Egyptian Hape, better remembered by his Greek name, Apis, was the sacred
bull of Memphis. Like the bulls at the Temple of Poseidon, he was allowed to
roam free in a courtyard of the temple.”
Frank Joseph, “The Atlantis
Encyclopedia” (78)
If the Temple of Poseidon (between your “temples”) is your brain then
Atlantis’ bull’s eye is your third-eye/pineal gland which literally “roams
free in the courtyard of the temple” because it is surrounded by
water/fluid.
Bull's eyes also just happen to be red, white and black, the
same color as Santa, the Amanita Muscaria, and the flag of Egypt.
“In this West African version of the flood, Obatala is the Yoruba version of
the
Greco-Atlantean Atlas: Oba denotes kingship, while atala means ‘white.’
Yoruba
priests wear only white robes while worshipping him, and images of the god
are
offered only white food. Among these sacrifices are white kola and goats,
recalling
the Atlantean goat cults known to the ancient Canary Islanders, off the
coast
of northwest Africa, and the Iberian Basque.
Obatala’s chief title is ‘King
of Whiteness,’ because he is revered as the white skinned ‘Ancient Ruler’ and
‘Father’ of the Yoruba race by a native woman, Oduduwa. Like Atlas, Obatala
was a giant in the middle of the sea, and the ‘seven chains’ which signal
the end of the Deluge may coincide with the seven Pleiades, associated
throughout much of world myth with the Flood’s conclusion.
Directly across
the Atlantic Ocean, in the west, the Aztec version of Atlantis – Aztlan was
referred to as the ‘White Island.’ In the opposite direction, in the east,
Hindu traditions in India described ancestral origins from Attala, likewise
known as the ‘White Island.’”
Frank Joseph, “The Atlantis Encyclopedia”
(209)
Is this where we get our legends of an Ivory Tower on an island? Was it a
real tower on a real island or our ivory spines on the islands
of our bodies? Or was it both?
“‘The White Island’ described in the great Indian epic Mahabharata and in
the epic poems, the Puranas, as the mountainous homeland of a powerful and
highly civilized race located in ‘the Western Sea’ on the other side of the
world from India … Atala itself sank in a violent storm.”
Frank Joseph, “The
Atlantis Encyclopedia” (33)
“The nations on the west of the Atlantic look to the 'east' for their place
of origin; while on the east of the Atlantic they look to the 'west': thus
all the lines of tradition converge upon Atlantis. But here is the same
testimony that in the Garden of Eden there were four rivers radiating from
one parent stream.
And these four rivers, as we have seen, we find in the
Scandinavian traditions, and in the legends of the Chinese, the Tartars, the
Singhalese, the Thibetians, the Buddhists, the Hebrews, and the Brahmans.
And not only do we find this tradition of the Garden of Eden in the Old
World, but it meets us also among the civilized races of America. The elder
Montezuma said to Cortez, "Our fathers dwelt in that happy and prosperous
place which they called Aztlan, which means 'whiteness.’”
–Ignatius
Donnelly, “Atlantis:
The Antediluvian World”
The Bible stories featuring a garden, tree, serpent, and golden apples are
known the world over and they originate from the Atlantean legend. “The
history of the old testament is the history of Atlantis.”
Comyns Beaumont
“The American Tree of Life The Toltec legends speak of a garden, a tree, a
serpent and a woman that was the mother of all mankind. They also speak of a
race of giants that were in the world from the earliest times.”
Ignatius
Donnelly, “Atlantis and the Antediluvian World”
“(The) Tree of Life (is) a mythic allusion to the human spinal column as the
bearer of seven major energy centers known as chakras, or spiritual ‘wheels’
in Indian kundalini yoga. The concept originated in Atlantis, with its seven
Hesperides, daughters of Atlas, and the golden apples of eternal life they
guarded.”
Frank Joseph, “The Atlantis Encyclopedia”
(272)
"Mythology often appears to be describing body sensations
when it speaks of serpents, as well as describing the human spine, which can
be symbolized as the tree or twin
trees or the serpent or twin serpents. The serpent image connected with the
spine has its best-known representation in the Indian Kundalini mythology.
Chetwynd (1982) describes body symbolism that is related to the serpent as
‘connected with the spinal column, which joins the physical nature (the
genitals) to the spiritual nature (the head).’”
Gerry Anne Lenhart, “The
Genesis Model”
In other words the “fall” and the “flood” whether or not they happened
physically, likely happened within an individual or on a spiritual level.
And
Atlantis, whether or not was a real island continent heading an advanced
global civilization, likely also referenced the soul, the pineal gland, and
chakra system within the individual.
The most sacred secrets of the Masons
and world Royalty pertain to the chakra/energetic system, the
amanita muscaria, DMT, and Kundalini yoga’s activation of the crown chakra.
“A new center – presently dormant in the average man or woman – has to be
activated and a more powerful stream of psychic energy must rise into the
head from the base of the spine to enable the human consciousness to
transcend the normal limits. This is the final phase of the present
evolutionary impulse in man. The cerebrospinal system of man has to undergo
a radical change, enabling consciousness to transcend the limits of the
highest intellect. Here reason yields to intuition and revelation appears to
guide the steps of humankind.
This mechanism, known as Kundalini, is the
real cause of all so-called spiritual and psychic phenomena, the biological
basis of evolution and development of personality, the secret origin of all
esoteric and occult doctrines, the master key to the unsolved mystery of
creation, the inexhaustible source of philosophy, art, and science, and the
fountainhead of all religious faiths, past, present and future.”
Dr. Lee Sanella, “The Kundalini Experience”
“So what is meant by the term Kundalini experience? Kundalini is a Sanskrit
word that can be translated as ‘coiled up.’ Kundalini is represented in many
Tantrik illustrations as a sleeping serpent, coiled 3 ½ times, at the base
of the spinal cord. The popular view of Kundalini is that it is a
dormant
power that lies waiting to be unleashed, by means of various practices. The
‘serpent power,’ once awakened, is
coaxed up the central channel of the spine, entering the chakras (psychic
energy centers) until it reaches the Crown chakra and the yogi achieves
‘illumination.’”
Phil Hine, “Kundalini, A Personal Approach”
“The caduceus symbol of coiling snakes is thought to be an ancient symbolic
representation of Kundalini physiology. The concept of Kundalini comes from
yogic philosophy of ancient India and refers to the mothering intelligence
behind yogic awakening and spiritual maturation. It might be regarded by
yogis as a sort of deity, hence the occasional
capitalization of
the term. Within a western frame of understanding it is often associated
with the practice of contemplative or religious practices that might induce
an altered state of consciousness, either brought about spontaneously,
through a type of yoga, through psychedelic drugs, or through a near-death
experience …
According to the yogic tradition Kundalini is curled up in the
back part of the root chakra in three and one-half turns around the sacrum.
Yogic phenomenology states that kundalini awakening is associated with the
appearance of bioenergetic phenomena that are said to be experienced
somatically by the yogi. This appearance is also referred to as ‘pranic
awakening’.
Prana is interpreted as the vital, life
sustaining force in the
body. Uplifted or intensified life energy is called pranotthana and is
supposed to originate from an apparent reservoir of subtle bioenergy at the
base of the spine. This energy is also interpreted as a vibrational
phenomena that initiates a period, or a process of vibrational spiritual
development …
Kundalini is mainly associated with Hinduism. However,
Kundalini as a spiritual experience is thought to have parallels in many of
the mystical and Gnostic traditions of the world's great religions. Many
factors point to the universality of the phenomenon. The early Christians
might have referred to the concept as 'pneuma', and there are some recent
parallels in contemporary Christian Charismatic 'Holy Ghost' phenomena.
Religious studies also note parallels in Quakerism, Shakerism, Judaic
Shuckling (torso rocking prayer), the swaying zikr and whirling dervish of
Islam, the
quivering of the Eastern Orthodox hesychast, the flowing
movements of tai chi, the ecstatic shamanic dance, the ntum trance dance of
the Bushman, Tibetan Buddhist tummo heat as practiced by Milarepa, and the
indically derived Andalusian flamenco (Sovatsky, 1998).
Kundalini practice is
centerfold in Japan's
Aum Shinrikyo group and Kundaliniyoga is also one of
the stages the practitioner is able to achieve.”
Crystalinks, “Kundalini”
(http://www.crystalinks.com/kundalini.html)
“The ancient yogis and sages who developed Kundalini Yoga had a deep respect
for the Creator of this human body. They knew, in their profound devotion
and worship, that so perfect a Creator could only have created perfection in
design, function and potential. Based on this respect, they sought knowledge
of the totality of the human being. They
researched the human ability to
maintain good health, increase vitality, open consciousness and expand the
experience of the excellence of human life.
Their research gave them a great
understanding of the nervous system, glandular system, organ system, energy
system, and brain. They learned how blood, nerves, muscles, organds, and
glands all work together. They investigated the seen and the unseen, and the
interrelationships between the physical and the subtle. From this research
they developed Kundalini Yoga. Kundalini Yoga is a highly evolved technology
based on a through understanding of the ecology of the human body, how the
breath affects the thinking, how the angle of a finger affects the pituitary
gland.
This technology works with the systems of the human body using the
body’s own
means. Hand position, breath, posture, sound, and motion are employed in
various ways to create the optimum balance among all the body’s components …
until recent times these techniques had been secret, taught only to a chosen
few.”
Harijot Kaur Khalsa, “Kundalini Yoga, Physical Wisdom”
“Contemporary spiritual literature often notes that the chakras, as
described in the esoteric kundalini documents, bear a strong similarity in
location and number to the major endocrine
glands, as well as nerve bundles called ganglions. One speculation is that
the traditional practices have formalized a method for stimulating the
endocrine glands to work in a different mode which has a more direct effect
on consciousness, perhaps ultimately by stimulating the release of DMT by
the pineal gland, which may be analogous to the 'pineal chakra'.
The late Itzhak Bentov studied Kundalini from an engineering perspective. According
to Bentov (1990), the 7.5 Hz oscillation of the heart muscle rhythm induces
mechanical Hz frequencies in the brain, that in turn create a stimulus
equivalent of a current loop. The nerve endings in that loop correspond to
the route through which the Kundalini ‘rises.’ This current polarizes the
brain part through which it flows in a homogenous way, effectively releasing
tremendous amounts of stress from the body.
The body then becomes an
effective antenna for the 7.5 Hz frequency, which is one of the resonant
frequencies of the ionosphere. In layman's terms, you then pick up
information from the air. This might account for repeated descriptions of
heightened senses as a result of rising Kundalini, e.g. as described by
Yogananda:
‘The whole vicinity lay bare before me. My ordinary frontal
vision was now changed to a vast spherical sight, simultaneously all-perceptive.’”
