Chapter 9
The First Budding of Atlantis
To most people, Atlantis was an island once located somewhere in the
middle of the Atlantic Ocean which sank overnight in some terrible
cataclysmic event. Very few people realize, however, that in its
original form,
Atlantis was actually a large continent which spread
all the way from Eastern Europe to the eastern seaboard of North
America, and south into Africa. The Canary Islands and the Azores,
both of which are volcanic island chains, are the tips of what were
once the mighty Atlantean mountain peaks. The Bahamas and
Bermuda
were also once a part of this same great continent.
The Decline of Lemuria
The interaction between the two great continents of Lemuria and
Atlantis grew as both their cultures grew and expanded. As
generations passed there became a great intermingling between them.
Neither culture lost their identity totally, nor was either as
separated or as isolated, or as pure in their own particular
ideology as they were once before. Their lives and culture became
co-mingled. The Atlanteans and Lemurians even inter-married in the
latter days. Both cultures began to live a different way of life.
Eventually the Lemurians no longer knew how to leave the
consciousness of their body. There were only ancient stories told
among the people of how the animals used to die and flowers were
placed around them. They could not really remember because it was
only stories handed down as ancient myths and legends. As generation
after generation after generation passed, neither Lemuria nor
Atlantis remembered the totality of who they were. Atlantis became
the epitome of technological living. Lemuria, on the other hand, was
the epitome of spiritual consciousness and naturally idyllic living.
Would that they had brought the best of both worlds together as the
cultures co-mingled, however, they did not.
The continent of Lemuria grew ‘sad’ at the loss of what once was. A
kind of heaviness fell over the people. The spiritual beauty of
their world no longer existed. The people no longer knew the joy in
their heart that they had once shared. There were no longer days of
melodious sounds flowing on the gentle breezes throughout the land.
The Temples of Learning fell into disarray. The people no longer
visited the once beautiful and sacred temples. They didn’t enter
into their crystal chambers for now they had Atlantean technology.
The technology now provided their method of learning but it was not
the same. They lost the wondrous identity of Lemuria. The time came
that the very essence that had sustained Lemuria could not exist any
longer and Lemuria virtually ceased to exist.
The Origins of Atlantis
To trace back further the origins of the Atlantean civilization, we
need to go back to the time of the decimation of Mars and Maldek
somewhere around 100,000 years ago, as described earlier. It was
many of the survivors of this conflagration escaping the embattled
planets before the one was destroyed and the other made virtually
lifeless, who came to planet Earth, and were then responsible for
the founding of the Atlantean civilization.
The recent release by NASA of some 20,000 new images taken over the
past year or so by
the Mars Global Surveyor are already being scrutinized by Mars
researchers in hopes that some
of the images may hold additional evidence of proving the existence
of ancient intelligent life on
the planet. Experts on the subject estimate that a life-supporting
atmosphere probably existed on
Mars some 3 million years ago, at least, though they do not
recognize how much more recently this planet teemed with a highly
evolved civilization.
Assuming that whatever life might have been
there would have developed and survived under conditions similar to
our own, any artificial structures they built would have undergone
millennia of erosion, and would likely be at this point, severely
degraded and either mostly or partially
buried in the sands of Mars,
though ‘the face on Mars’ and possible pyramids rivaling those of
Egypt already seem to be quite evident. In an Arizona State
University news release of June 23, 2000, it was suggested that Mars
also once had Earth-like oceans at some period in its history:
“Thanks to NASA’s unmanned planetary exploration program, evidence
of the existence of past oceans on Mars has been accumulating for
years, but no one had ever been able to say what the overall
chemical composition of those oceans might actually have been
like—until now.
“A recent analysis of the interior of a 1.2 billion-year-old Martian
meteorite known as the Nakhla Meteorite has shown the presence of
water-soluble ions that are thought to have been deposited in cracks
by evaporating brine, according to a study by Arizona State
University Regents Professor of Chemistry and Geology Carleton
Moore, Douglas Sawyer of Scottsdale Community College, ASU graduate
student Michael McGehee and Julie Canepa of Los Alamos National
Laboratory. The finding, announced in the July issue of the journal
Meteoritics and Planetary Science, indicates that ancient Martian
oceans had a mineral composition similar in variety and
concentration to Earth oceans.
“We have concluded that we have extracted salts that were originally
present in Martian water,” said Moore. “The salts we found mimic the
salts in Earth’s ocean fairly closely.”
The memories of Atlantis in the collective unconscious of those on
planet Earth are very deeply engrained and very much repressed, for
they are memories of great traumas, not just of the destruction of
one civilization, but of three. They are also very real warnings of
the potential for the destruction of a fourth civilization, indeed
an entire world, simply because we refuse to recognize and deal with
this potent force in our history.
It is because the story of Atlantis holds up such a mirror to us and
to the culture that exists today on Earth that we keep denying its
existence. Is it any wonder then that we also let ourselves be so
easily duped into believing the histories of our race which make no
sense, and that leave great gaping holes, and thousands of
unanswered questions? In refusing to acknowledge the mistakes we
have made in the past, to learn from our history, we are also intent
on giving away our individual power once again, both consciously and
unconsciously, to those same beings who were responsible for this
earlier destruction in the first place.
Exciting new evidence of Atlantis’ existence is to be found in
recent studies of the weather
patterns of Northern Europe. These weather patterns rely on the Gulf
Stream, the warm current of
the North Atlantic Ocean flowing in a generally northeastern
direction from the Straits of Florida
to the Grand Banks, east and south of Newfoundland. This Stream then
extends its flow from the
Grand Banks to the shores of western Europe, Scandinavia, and the
islands of the Arctic Ocean
in the form of the North Atlantic Drift.
The Gulf Stream is of great climatological importance
because of its moderating effects on the climate of western Europe.
In northeastern America a
crop like rye, nonresistant to frost, can only be cultivated up to
50 degrees north latitude. In
Norway, it can be cultivated up to a 20 degrees higher latitude.
This is also true of wheat and
potato crops, and the northern limits beyond which horses, mules,
and sheep cannot be kept. The
inhospitable arctic regions which begin at 55 degrees latitude in
eastern America, do not start until 70 degrees north latitude in
Norway. Unaffected by the Gulf Stream, Labrador is sub-arctic though
at the same latitude as England.
If the Gulf Stream’s influence were removed, by, say a large
continental island in the middle of the Atlantic such as Atlantis
was supposed to have been, it would mean that the climate of
north-western Europe would undergo a radical change, and would then
become normal for that kind of latitude.
During the Pleistocene Epoch of Earth’s history, there was about the
same amount of ice cover to the east of the Atlantic as there was to
the west. Both continents were buried under huge ice caps that
occasionally reached as far down as 50 degrees north latitude. The
limits of glaciations leave their mark in the form of piled up rock
called terminal moraines. The belts of terminal moraines found in
Canada and Europe, which indicate the southern limit of advance of
inland ice sheets, clearly show that during the Ice Age northwestern
Europe did not enjoy a better climate than northeastern America.
Thus it can be concluded that the Gulf Stream did not flow or did
not reach northwest Europe during that time, blocked as it would
have been at the time by the remaining islands of Atlantis.
Experts differ as to exactly when the Earth moved into its fifth
geological age. Experts using different criteria place the time from
20,000 to 8,000 years ago. One scientist counting the bands of
Swedish varved clay, arrived at an “optimum” of 12,000 to 10,000
years BC, the time when the final remnants of Atlantis were supposed
to have sunk beneath the ocean. This means that much of England and
most of Northern Europe only became hospitable for human habitation
after the sinking of Atlantis. As we can see from recorded history,
this is exactly the time when civilization began to take root on the
European continent.
It is also postulated that the Mayans, being one of the outerlying
colonies of Atlantis which survived the global changes of that time,
date their calendar from the destruction of Atlantis... June 5,
8498 BC, just as the Romans began counting their calendar from the
founding of Rome and the Christians from the birth of Christ.
Edgar Cayce’s Atlantis readings are important to a concept of our
history, not only because they were given to help individuals, but
also because they were given to help mankind. They point out very
strongly the cyclical nature of history—those things which we do not
learn from and which keep cropping up again and again until we learn
their hard lessons. In the case of the life readings dealing with
past incarnations in Atlantis then, the problems described seem to
have a special urgency, a special relevance to the events going on
today.
According to Cayce, many of the people he did readings for who lived
in Atlantis were active, influential, and capable individuals. His
suggestion in these readings, however, is that these past Atlanteans
are once again incarnating on the planet in hope that they may once
again be able to greatly influence the world events currently taking
place—that is, to right some wrongs, to heal some old wounds, and
potentially to divert the course of world events away from further
destruction.
Much has been written about Atlantis, but it is Ignatius Donnelly in
particular who, much like Churchward for Lemuria, is the best-known proponent of its
existence. As W. Scott-Elliot says of
Donnelly’s arguments for the existence of Atlantis, they excited a
good deal of interest and
respect when he made them in 1882. Today, however, they would
probably be dismissed by
almost all scientists and scholars as the result of
“overgeneralization, exaggeration, and unsupported imagination.”
Donnelly’s major supposition was that similarities found in various
corners of the world have to be explained by a common historical
origin.
To Scott-Elliot, however, many of the similarities
Donnelly
found were simply superficial matters, and any evidence which did
not fit into his particular theory, Donnelly tended to ignore.
Repeating the mistake that Churchward made with regard to Lemuria,
and Sitchin made in his study of
the Anunnaki of ancient Sumeria,
Donnelly attributes everything he sees in the various regions of the
planet to the single influence of Atlantis. Thus he ignores the
other influences which had also been taking place on the planet
throughout history.
Donnelly calls Atlantis ‘the place of origin of modern humanity,’
and its disappearance therefore all the more poignant, involving as
it does the loss of ‘our homeland.’ He correctly deduces that the
destruction of Atlantis happened in stages, talking about the number
of great catastrophes which have shaken the world.
-
the first of
these took place in the Miocene age, about 800,000 years ago
-
the
second, of minor importance, occurring about 200,000 years ago
-
the third, about 80,000 years ago, being a very great one which sank
a fairly large piece of the massive Atlantean continent
This last
date, however, is incorrect, the correct timing being approximately
100,000 years ago, coinciding with the explosion of the planet Maldek, an event whose impact, as you can imagine, was felt
throughout the entire solar system. Although it did not sink the
major part of the Atlantean continent, it did have great impact on
the shape of the land masses on the planet at that time. And, as was
previously explained, it was only prior to this catastrophe that
colonizers from Mars and Maldek came to planet Earth and began what
was to eventually become the great Atlantean Empire.
Donnelly is correct, however, in dating the sinking of the final
stages of Atlantis.
-
the large island, to which Plato gave the name
Poseidonis, was submerged in the fourth and final great catastrophe
of 9564 BC, an event that it’s inhabitants had also helped to
create.
In the life readings in which Cayce mentions
Atlantis, his dating of
its break up is far more accurate than most of those available from
other sources. Cayce recounts three major periods of earth changes
involving volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tidal waves, and sinking
land occurring between 50,000 and 10,000 BC.
-
The first of these
events took place in his opinion around 50,000 BC, when a portion of
the continent was destroyed.
-
The second occurred around 28,000 BC,
when the remaining land was split into islands.
-
The final
destruction occurred around 10,000 BC, when the last islands were
submerged, undoubtedly the destruction to which Plato later
referred.
It was paradoxically around 50,000 BC that Atlantis reached the
height of its civilization. This coincides with the first
cataclysmic earth change that broke up the continent, and thus
caused a split in the rulership of the Empire into two separate
realms. It is also the time when what we shall call ‘the Lucifer
Intrusion’ began in earnest on the planet.
Its effects on Atlantis
can be traced through the literature available as the Empire finally
began to sink into worship of the occult, black magic, and sorcery.
The people were controlled through the implantation of crystal
transmitters, and the use of these dark forces eventually led to the
final destruction of the center of Atlantean civilization.
The Early Civilization
The early stages of the Atlantean empire’s growth are far less
well-known than the circumstances of its demise. According to Cayce,
Atlantis was one of the places where human beings first appeared on
Earth. He is, however, referring to modern man, to that time 100,000
years ago when ‘man’ as we know it began on the planet, the time
before which there were great differences in the kinds of lifeforms
on the planet, the time when the planet was still solidly fixed in a
higher dimensional state.
Biochemists Allan Wilson, Mark Stoneking, and Rebecca Cann of the
University of California at Berkley, studied the evolutionary
relationships between racial groups by looking at the genes in the
mitochondria, the components of human cells inherited only from the
mother. By comparing differences among races, and estimating the
rates of genetic change, they concluded that all living humans are
descended from a common maternal ancestor, ‘EVE’, who lived
approximately 200,000 years ago. All living humans share these same
genes, and the divergence among races, according to their study, has
occurred since that time. This would place ‘the origins’ of Man,
back somewhere around the beginning of Lemuria and the early
settlement of Atlantis.
According to The Nine, Atlantis was a colony which was developed by
the Alteans, the civilization of Altea, and Ramtha also agrees.
These are the race especially known for their technology—not a
technology of machines so much, but a technology to do with the
fundamental nature of matter. Cayce says Atlantis was the place
where human beings made their most rapid advancements toward what we
consider civilization, and it was “the place where the problems
created for themselves came into the sharpest focus.”
Since some of this technology was brought with the survivors from
Maldek and Mars, and other technology was brought from Sirius during
the time of the Empire, the Atlantean colony had much to get started
with, and even more to work on. Unfortunately, some of those who
survived and came to this planet were also the instigators of those
original troubles that had caused the eventual destruction of these
two planets in the first place.
Cayce characterized Atlantis as the Motherland of Civilization where
the earliest religion was a solar-oriented monotheism (Sons of the
Law of One), which makes sense since the religious center of
Lemurian worship was ‘The Law of One,’ and Atlantis as it turned
toward the Dark Side and Lucifer, worshipped him who was considered
to be the ‘the Son’ or ‘Sun’ (‘sun’ being a corruption of the
original word ‘son’, still spelled in many languages with an ‘o’—del
sol, die sohhne, etc.). The sun as a central symbol is,
paradoxically, so much a part of the Dark side’s literature and its
symbolism, again with the eight separate rays much as it was
originally used in Atlantis.
Much of what we know of life in Atlantis beyond its awesome
technology comes to us from Homer and from Plato. The poetry of
Homer may in fact be a priceless document of an early civilization
transplanted to the Mediterranean region from Atlantis, for it is
doubtful that Homer created such a vast civilization strictly out of
fantasy. The Homeric civilization as described in his poetry, could
be essentially that of an Atlantean island lying near Gibraltar.
From there it spread its influence throughout the entire
Mediterranean area, as we know from other literature that it once
spread to all four corners of the globe.
The earliest setting of Atlantis seems to be a land much richer in
nature than that of
anywhere today. Dark evergreens towered over serene meadows
surrounded by sculptured
mountains. Lions, leopards and wild boar roamed the woods along with
bear, deer and fox, while perennial springs supplied fresh, clean
water to both the men and also to the animals.
Cayce’s description of the climate was that, rather than being a
tropical area, it was “more of the temperate . . .” (no, 5750-1,
November 12, 1933). Our knowledge of the climates in that area in
10,000 BC confirms that this would have been the weather around that
time. The glaciers were still melting, and all of North America was
substantially colder than it is now.
In The Critias, Plato describes the actual layout of the cities and
countryside, a sacred formula harmonizing with the universe, and
used to maintain growth in both the people and in the land. Like the
old Arthurian legend that will play such a big part of our story,”
the people and the land are one.”
This sacred form was brought to
the planet with the starseeds. It consisted of a series of
concentric circles built around the central temple complex, as
described here by Plato:
“And outside, round about the temple, there stood images in gold of
all the princes, both themselves and their wives, as many as were
descended from the ten kings, together with many other votive
offerings both of the kings and of private persons not only from the
State itself but also from all the foreign peoples over whom they
rule. And that altar, in respect of its size and its workmanship,
harmonized with its surroundings; and the royal palace likewise was
such as befitted the greatness of the kingdom, and equally befitted
the splendor of the temples.
“. . . Such then was the state of things round about the abode of
the kings. And after crossing the three outer harbors one found a
wall which began at the sea and ran around in a circle, at a uniform
distance of fifty stades from the largest circle and harbour, and
its ends converged at the seaward mouth of the channel. The whole of
this wall had numerous houses built onto it, set close together;
while the sea-way and the largest harbour were filled with ships and
merchants coming from all quarters, which by reason of their
multitude caused clamor and tumult of every description and an
unceasing din night and day.
“Now as regards the city and environs of the ancient dwelling we
have now well-nigh completed the description as it was originally
given. We must endeavor next to repeat the account of the rest of
the country, what its natural character was, and in what fashion it
was ordered. In the first place, then, according to the account, the
whole region rose sheer out of the sea to a great height, but the
part about the city was all a smooth plain, enclosing it round
about, and being itself encircled by mountains which stretched as
far as to the sea; and this plain had a level surface and was as a
whole rectangular in shape, being 3,000 stades long on either side
and 2,000 stades wide at its center, reckoning upwards from the sea.
And this region, all along the island, faced towards the South and
was sheltered from the Northern blasts. And the mountains which
surrounded it were at that time celebrated as surpassing all that
now exist in number, magnitude and beauty; for they had upon them
many rich villages of country folk, and streams and lakes and
meadows which furnished ample nutriment to all the animals both tame
and wild, and timber of various sizes and descriptions, abundantly
sufficient for the needs of all and every craft.
“Now as a result of natural forces, together with the labors of many
kings which extended
over many ages, the condition of the plain was this. It was
originally a quadrangle, rectilinear for
the most part, and elongated; and what it lacked of this shape they
made right by means of a
trench dug round about it. Now, as regards the depth of this trench
and its breadth and length, it
seems incredible that it should be so large as the account states,
considering that it was made by
hand, and in addition to all the other operations, but none the less
we must report what we heard; it was dug out to the depth of a
plethrum and to a uniform breadth of a stade, and since it was dug
around the whole plain its consequent length was 10,000 stades. It
received the streams which came down from the mountains and after
circling round the plain, and coming towards the city on this side
and on that, it discharged them thereabouts into the sea. And on the
inland side of the city channels were cut in straight lines, of
about 100 feet in width, across the plain, and these discharged
themselves into the trench on the seaward side, the distance between
each being 100 stades. It was in this way that they conveyed to the
city the timber from the mountains and transported also on boats the
season’s products, by cutting traverse passages from one channel to
the next and also to the city. And they cropped the land twice a
year, making use of the rains from heaven in the winter, and the
waters that issue from the earth in summer, by conducting the
streams from the trenches.”
This sacred temple form has much to do with the structure of the
galaxies and of the universe, the dimensions spreading out from the
central ‘plan-et’, the galaxy spreading out from its center in an
ever broadening spiral like a flat disk, etc. etc. Like the Russian
cluster dolls, the form of the microcosm only grows larger and
larger and is repeated in every aspect of our Creation. Its form was
created to spread the energy of the FATHER out through all existence
, much like the Atlantean form was created to spread energy
throughout its lands. This ‘temple technology’ is critical to an
understanding of the history we are about to explore.
Plato also gives us a description of the people’s ability to deal
with the rich lushness they had built for themselves in the early
days of the Empire, while still possessing a state of non-attachment
to it, their motivation still coming spiritually from within. It was
as this spiritual nature degenerated in favor of morality that their
attitudes toward their possessions also changed for the poorer:
“ . . . Consequently they thought scorn of everything save virtue
and lightly esteemed their
rich possessions, bearing with ease the burden, as it were, of the
vast volumes of their gold and
other goods; and thus their wealth did not make them drunk with
pride so that they lost control of
themselves and went to ruin; rather, in their soberness of mind they
clearly saw that all these
good things are increased by general amity combined with virtue,
whereas the eager pursuit and
worship of these goods not only causes the goods themselves to
diminish but makes virtue also
to perish with them.
As a result, then, of such reasoning and of the
continuance of their divine
nature all their wealth had grown to such a greatness as we
previously described. But when the
portion of divinity within them was now becoming faint and weak
through being of times blended
with a large measure of morality, whereas the human temper was
becoming dominant, then at
length they lost their comeliness, through being unable to bear the
burden of their possessions,
and became ugly to look upon, in the eyes of him who has the gift of
sight; for they had lost their
fairness of their goods from the most precious of their parts; but
in the eyes of those who have no
gift of perceiving what is the truly happy life, it was then above
all that they appeared to be
superlatively fair and blessed, filled as they were with lawless
ambition and power.
And Zeus, the
God of gods, who reigns by Law, inasmuch as he had the gift of
perceiving such things, marked
how this righteous race was in evil plight, and desired to inflict
punishment upon them, to the end
that when chastised they might strike a truer note. Wherefore he
assembled together all the gods
into that abode which they honor most, standing as it does at the
center of all the Universe, and
beholding all things that partake of generation; and when he had
assembled them, he spake thus... “
Atlantis was vast in size. While the population of the community was
very small for a time, it became quite an intergalactic population.
Its Healing Temple became very intergalactic. For a while it was
known to be “the healing place” within the solar system. This
brought quite an intergalactic population and a need to understand
the different cultures and varying energies of the Universe. Earth
at that time was the place where souls intermingled gaining greater
understanding of one another.
The early openness of Atlantis gave a
greater opportunity for this that had ever been available before.
Not only was Atlantis advanced as far as its culture was concerned
but it also had a very peaceful environment that allowed acceptance.
There was a great acceptance of all life. There was very little
judgment at that time of who was better or who was right. All things
were pretty much accepted just the way they were.
And so a nation tied to their spiritual natures received all the
blessings of the world, and life for its inhabitants was sweet. When
they began instead to treasure Man’s laws over those of the FATHER,
the people grew meaner and uglier in their ways, and brought about
destruction upon themselves.
The First Destruction
The first destruction happened around 50,000 BC. Cayce’s Atlantean
life readings refer to this early period before the first
destruction and also blame the degeneration of the people for its
cause:
“In the Atlantean land when there were those disturbing forces—just
previous to the first disturbing forces that brought the first
destruction in the continent, through the application of spiritual
things for self-indulgence of material peoples.”
(no. 1406-1, July
13, 1937)
The first destruction of a portion of Atlantis appears to have been
caused ‘accidentally’ by explosives that were used improperly,
triggering volcanic action:
“ . . . with the continued disregard of those who were keeping the
pure race and the pure peoples . . . man brought in destructive
forces to be used by people that were rulers. The destructive forces
combined with those natural resources of the gases, of the
electrical forces made in nature, caused volcanic eruptions in the
slow cooling earth, and that portion now near what would be termed
the Sargasso Sea first went into the depths. With this there again
came the egress of peoples”
(no. 364-4; February 16, 1932).
What Cayce is referring to is the fact that Atlantis had the
capability of nuclear weapons. Just as in the present day United
States and other countries with nuclear capability, they felt the
need to test these weapons—underground. Unfortunately what the
Atlanteans and many modern governments realize but don’t take enough
notice of is the fact that, in many places, the earth’s crust
contains large pockets of natural gas which run for hundreds,
sometimes thousands of miles, even under the ocean. It is one of
these gas pockets that was affected by the underground testing,
causing the break up of certain parts of the continent.
The modern
day practice of removing so much oil, gas, and artesian water from
under the ground without backfilling the space made vacant, is
already the cause of many similar earthquakes and ‘natural
disasters.’
Colonization
Like Donnelly, the Cayce readings speak of migrations of Atlanteans
to areas throughout the
world, yet the Cayce description of the result of these migrations
goes far beyond that of
Donnelly. In fact, the Cayce Atlantis with its high technological
achievements and great moral conflicts, resembles more the world of
today than the orthodox concept of the ancient world.
The Nine say that Atlantis expanded over an enormous land mass and
colonized various other places on the planet—from North America
across to Greece, then to many other areas as well after the
destruction. This is due in part to a change in weather patterns
caused by the sinking of that part of the continent. These changes
allowed for some areas of the adjacent continents to also be more
hospitable to habitation, as described earlier.
From Atlantis sprang various civilizations such as the Olmecs
(although technically these came more directly from Altea—through
Atlantis), the Mayans, the Aztecs, Greece, Troy, and also the
ancient megalithic cultures of Britain. When Atlantis fell there was
a great dispersion and trauma resembling the one at the time of the
Jewish Diaspora. The civilizations in Crete around 8000 BC came from
Atlantis. Also, according to The Nine, some in Israel, Jordan, and
Iraq, as well as portions of China, India, and Tibet saw a major
Atlantean influence.
The Nine agree that America was also in part colonized from regions
of Israel, and that the Phoenicians merged at one time with
aboriginals already existing in certain areas of the United States.
New evidence of this early visitation to the North American
continent, especially the South, is now coming to light, although
not through any of the popular media channels.
Early excerpts and press releases from the Research Dateline of The
Egyptology Society in Miami, Florida, suggests the discovery of
tangible archaeological evidence pointing to the former existence of
an advanced civilization that built temples near Bimini.
These ruins
can be geologically dated as being more than twelve thousand years
old. Preliminary analysis has revealed that the original structures,
although smaller in size, appear to have been more advanced than the
Great Pyramid of Giza. Casing stones have been measured which are of
the same unique angle as those at the Great Pyramid. There are exact
orbital plots of the planets and what seem to have been intricate
star shafts, metal-coated walls, and intermingled stones of various
colors (including red, white, and black). Other characteristics
either closely match or are identical to features at megalithic
sites in Peru, Mexico, the Yucatan, Ireland, and Scandinavia.
The Mayan culture was one that was a ‘left over’ from Atlantis–a
colony that lost contact with its homeland and reverted to a
somewhat more primitive state, much as has happened to other ancient
cultures cut off from their original source.
Egypt was perhaps the major colonizing effort of the Atlanteans, in
cooperation with the Sirians, and there are many references to the
gods who set up the Egyptian civilization and became its rulers in
what was known as Zep Tepi—‘the First Time’.
The Edfu Building Texts preserve a reference to the "Seven Sages.”
The context in which the Texts describe the Sages is marked by a
preponderance of ‘Flood’ imagery in which the ‘primeval waters’ (out
of which the Great Primeval Mound emerged) are depicted as gradually
receding. As Robert Bauval suggests, it is probably no accident that
in Indian tradition ‘Seven Sages’ (Rishis) are remembered to have
survived the Flood, their purpose being to preserve and pass down to
future generations the wisdom of the antediluvian world.
In both cases the sages appear as the enlightened survivors of a
cataclysm that wiped the earth clean, setting about making a fresh start at the dawn of a new
age—which, in ancient
Egypt, was referred to as Zep Tepi.
As other researchers confirm is
written about Zep Tepi,
“the
first era known by our principal sources was a period which started
from what existed in the past. The general tone of the ancient
records convey this view that an ancient world, after having been
constituted, was destroyed, and as a dead world it came to be the
basis of a new period of creation which at first was the re-creation
and resurrection of what once had existed in the past.”
If this sounds a little familiar in its reference, it is the legend
of the Phoenix—the legendary bird that consumed itself by fire
(nuclear weapons), and a new, young phoenix (its colonies) sprang
from its ashes. In the mythology of ancient Egypt, the phoenix
represented the sun, which dies at night and is reborn in the
morning. Early Christian tradition then adopted the phoenix as a
symbol of both immortality and resurrection. As we shall see,
the
New World Order is nothing but a grander version of the resurrected
phoenix that was Dark Sorcerer Kings of Atlantis.
The story of Egypt according to Edgar Cayce’s life readings pushes
active Egyptian culture back almost 12,500 years to around 10,500
BC—a fact that is now becoming evident in the new research on the
Great Pyramid and the Sphinx. The alignment of these ‘monuments’
with the star systems related to them could only have been achieved
much earlier than what had previously been thought. Water level
marks high on the Sphinx also could only have come during some kind
of major flooding, not possible simply from the annual flooding of
the River Nile.
Cayce describes the original society and culture of Egypt developing
from nomadic influxes of people to the Nile valley (from both the
Carpathian mountains of Asia, and from Arabia), who then settled
with the peoples already in Egypt and took political control. Some
of these readings even indicate that this culture was actively
involved in archeological research of its own regarding earlier
societies!
It is only since the 1950s that geologists were able to confirm
Cayce’s words that the Sahara was indeed fertile well into the 2nd
millennium BC, although caught in a losing battle with the
encroaching desert. A people now known to the archaeologists as the
Pastoralists, with many cultural elements in common with the Archaic
Dynasty Egyptians of the Lower Nile, prospered in what is now
unlivable wasteland.
Cayce confirms this fact as well in one of his readings:
“What is now the Sahara was (during the Atlanteans’ migration from
their sunken homeland in the West to the Nile Valley in the East) an
inhabited land and very fertile.”
(Edgar Cayce 364-13,1939)
Cayce himself spoke of having an incarnation in Egypt around 10,000
BC when many Atlanteans migrated there to escape the sinking of the
last islands.
Egypt was a colony that was very ‘hard-core’ say The Nine. By this
They mean that the Egyptians retained many of the hardcore attitudes
of the Atlanteans. This was also evident in many of the other areas
to which the Atlanteans eventually migrated. Since many of these
escaping Atlanteans took some of their technology with them when
they colonized, it was also a cultural shock to the natives of an
area. These are some of the cultural remnants that many researchers
such as Erich Von Daniken have found in their search for evidence of
extra-terrestrial visitation to the planet.
The Beginning of Disharmony
The time came when the Atlanteans began to use their knowledge in
ways that became self-serving to a few as mentioned by Plato. This self-serving use of
energy sowed seeds of
disharmony that began to grow. Discord arose as to the proper use of
creative energy. The culture split into The Philosophers, Healers
and Communicators on one side, and the Scientists and Technology
community on the other, and both struggling for control. The Master
had long ago vacated the Holy Temple in the center of the Great
River of Life.
This struggle for power that lasted for several millennium finally
found the power falling into the hands of the technological and
scientific community. They were very knowledgeable in the ways of
manipulating energy for their own purposes. As the power fell to
them, more and more they created things that were not for the
benefit of all, but for the benefit of a few. Those in power felt as
though that there were differences between various facets of
society. They felt they were superior to those that followed the
philosophies. The scientific and technological side felt others were
inferior or of a lower class. If they were of a lower class then
they could not have the understanding or the ability to govern
Atlantis.
The philosophers were the first to be attacked. The philosophers
were isolated into one area of Atlantis. How could this happen? The
scientific and technology leaders gathered the philosophers together
for the pretense of a joint meeting on Atlantean affairs. The
scientific and technology leaders then placed an energy field around
the philosophers. They could not go beyond the energy field that
surrounded them, nor could others enter into the energy field. While
all was provided for the philosopher’s existence they no longer had
any influence over the culture at large.
Thus the scientific and technological leaders began to divide
Atlantis into sectors. They began to re-locate different cultures in
isolated pockets of communities, much as the new world order has
intentions of doing again. Sectors were developed. Energy fields
were placed around these sectors of division to eliminate
cross-culture communication.
Those leaders that evolved into the control of the government began
to use their knowledge of creation in a way that they felt would
create what had never been created before. They became intoxicated
with the prospect of creation. Realize that when you know how to
manipulate energy into a vibrational form creation is not difficult.
There was no limitation or thought of the common good as they built
upon the creation of technology.
Much as was portrayed in the movie
2001: A Space Odyssey, there was
a huge crystal obelisk erected that sent out energy pulses that kept
everything subdued. The population was not unhappy. Nobody wanted to
rebel. It was like the energies just said, “You’re happy,” and that
was accepted by the population. There was a total control over the
population. What you must understand is that this was less then ten
per cent of the population that had all the power. As the scientists
and technologists began to take control of Atlantis, they became
more and more intoxicated with their own power of creativity.
The Final Destruction
In the rise, fall, and final destruction of Atlantis, there are
indeed many parallels with our own culture. There are also many
warnings inherent in the information that comes through The Nine and
through Cayce about the use of technology, as well as on the use and
misuse of power. Much of this information will come to light in the
next few years through the discoveries to be made in Egypt where
records of Atlantis were stored for future generations to learn
from. These seemingly harmless records though, may not be so
harmless, and everyone waiting for their revelations may not be so
interested once they find out what they contain—as we shall find
out.
Cayce mentions these records in a couple of life readings:
“ . . . there were evidences and prophecies of Atlantis being broken
up, and Egypt was chosen as one of those places where the records of
that activity were to be established”
(no. 275-38, January 16,
1934)
“. . . for the entity was in charge of those records when the last
peoples of Atlantis journeyed to the various quarters of the globe”
(no. 378-13, August 14, 1933)
The most evident parallels between their culture and our own are
that both cultures developed a high level of technical society, both
were world powers, and both were plagued with racial or social
problems. Both also developed weaponry that, if misused, could not
only destroy their own country but much of the planet as well. Both
were also heavily involved with experimentation on affecting the
climate of the world. One might say that both, also, never learned
from the mistakes they made, but kept on going despite the obvious
warning signals. Other similarities will be noticed as we further
detail the final destruction of the continent, and the technology
which helped bring this ending about.
In Atlantis, the worst happened—not once, but on three separate
occasions, the last resulting in the final destruction and sinking
of the civilization entirely. It is little wonder that many of
Cayce’s life readings that spoke of Atlantean incarnations were
filled with warnings to individuals about the misuse of their
abilities. Individuals who had misused their talents once before
might easily follow the path of least resistance and misuse them
once again. In judging these events, it might be helpful to remember
Kryon’s warning that we are our own ancestors.
The influx of people or migration into Atlantis might be seen as
another parallel. According to Cayce’s psychic data, the upper
classes of the Atlantean race looked like modern people, but they
used these migrants, the less developed “things,” as servants and
for experimentation. If for no other reason, this fact alone might
suggest the presence of the New World Order in Atlantis, or at least
strong connections to its roots, for the arrogance of power and the
wealthy—the Illuminati—are very similar in both.
In Egypt, the Atlantean survivors considered the majority of the
local people no higher than “menial” in physiological development
and their culture and technical stance extremely backward, just as
they had on their own continent. This helped set up a tradition of
slavery in both Egypt and many of the surrounding countries as well
that still persists today in many parts of Africa, and was the root
of the slave trade coming to the New World.
Clow remembers this phase in one of her past life excursions:
“There were other beings on other levels of mentality. Some of them
were savages and primitives on the earth. They lived in Africa,
Brazil, China, in modern-day language. We bothered them, which was
really not fair. We didn’t do that to help them.”
The final portion of Atlantis, the island that
Plato called Poseidonis, contrary to popular belief, was destroyed in the
biblical Flood, the Great Deluge that occurred around 9,000 BC.
Two of the catastrophes that occurred to help bring Atlantis to
destruction were man-made.
The two that were ‘naturally caused’ were due to the
biblical Flood and the other was due to simple volcanic activity
from the natural processes of Earth’s crust cooling.
A being named
Vajra explains how crystal technology is used in his
time during a Tibetan Time Transference performed before an audience
in Anaheim, California. This is a form of time travel, much like a
post-life progression into the future. It is a very secret technique
that is unique to the training of the Black Hat Sect of Tibetan
Buddhism.
The Black Hats travel the time stream and it is from this
sect that
the Oracles to the Dali Lama are chosen. What he describes
sounds very much like that already described in Atlantis –the
huge
crystal obelisk erected that sent out energy pulses that kept
everything subdued, but black as portrayed once again in 2001: A
Space Odyssey:
“We use holograms for a great deal. . . All this stores millions of giga-bytes at a subatomic level. The computers themselves look like
black stone blocks, which can only be described as being
bio-computers.
“The use of these devices has been greatly limited however, because
of their great misuse and because these computers were used to mark
much of the population and to kill and destroy many people in your
coming time. We have opted more for the development of the human
mind and the human soul and spirit. We interact with these devices,
and they certainly make things easier for us on certain occasions,
however, we prefer using our own talents and abilities.
“There was a great backlash against these machines and devices. This
leads to... one of
the great computers that the Immanuella uses in many forms... This
great computer acts very
much as a council, or simply an advisor. It in no way dictates what
it is that we do. There is no
one set central government that tells any individual or any country
ways it must live. There is a
very standard set of laws that are obeyed that come from ‘The
Keepsake’ of the old times”
An important concept to understand here is that it was about
this
period, 9000 BC, that the Earth’s density lowered fully into the 3rd
dimension. This was the actual event responsible for the Flood,
contrary to all other written material on the subject. Like an
elevator falling down its shaft with little or no restraint, and
finally hitting rock bottom, the final ‘landing’ of Earth’s 2,000
year process of lowering from the astral or 4th dimension down into
the heavy vibration of the 3rd dimension, ended with a ‘crash.’
The
result was the shifting of the Southern polar ice-caps as described
by Sitchin and others. Sliding off its land base into the areas
south of what is now Australia, the flood of water rushed northward
in a wall of water hundreds of feet high, removing most of the
natural features of the Australian continent so that we now call it
the ‘oldest continent,’ it appearing to be the most warn down. If
all continents were born at the same time as supposed by the Pangea/continental drift theory, why would one then be any ‘older’
than the others?
It was instead simply the fact that the remnant of Lemuria which we
now know as Australia, took the full force of the Flood, and was
wiped clean of most of its surface detail. The effects on the rest
of the world were enormous, especially since the ocean’s water level
rose approximately six hundred feet at that time due to the volume
of ice now in the ocean.
It is here in Australia that we find the ‘original hearts’ of the
planet, those who are very much like the old Lemurians, the Ab-originals.
Think about how much of Earth’s civilization resides on the coastal
areas of their continents, on tidal rivers, or at least on levels
not much higher than sea level. Then imagine what a rise of 600 feet
in the sea level would do the planet at this time, and how much of
civilization would be affected, especially after such a wall of
water had washed over much of the planet first.
The Nine support this version of the Flood as They talk about the
fact that there were colonies of Atlantis at that time that were,
“not of a destructive nature: those in truth were not destroyed...
the loss of it was due to a natural phenomenon, your oceans, your
earthquakes... It happened overnight.”
If one is led to wonder why there are not more remnants of these
civilizations we are talking about, it is simply because they have
been washed clean from the face of the Earth, and subsequently from
the history books. One Earth-change after another over the millions
of years ‘Man’ has been on the planet has wiped clean the slate of
our memories and of our history. We are going to have to dig a lot
deeper if we want to find the bones of more of our true ancestors..
The Sirian/Orion Influence
Atlantis was, in part, seeded by the Sirians, a race of beings
outside the influence of the Twenty-Four (the literal Federation of
Star Trek fame). The Sirians, and those from Orion as well, were the
predominant survivors of the Mars/Maldek wars.
The Sirians were the ‘old time Atlanteans’ who came to the planet
many hundreds of thousands of years ago to implant themselves into
the culture here on Earth, completely for the purpose of taking it
over for their own selfish reasons. As we shall see, they are not
the only ones who have treated this planet and its people in exactly
this kind of way.
The time when Atlantis really became a civilized continent/culture
about 100,000 years ago was in a interglacial period on the planet
as recognized by modern geology:
“Within each ice age are remarkable fluctuations known as glacials
and interglacials: cold and warm phases that correspond to a cycle
of about 100,000 years. Recognition of this glacial cycle required
complex mathematical calculations, first worked out by a Yugoslav
scientist, Milutin Milankovitch (1879-1958)”.
The Sirians had left the planet periodically as it grew colder and
less hospitable, even as it was still fourth dimensionally inclined.
They then re-established themselves some 50,000 years ago along with
the survivors from Mars and Maldek. They are the Atlanteans people
know of today who sank along with the continent as it went down
during four separate phases, finally disappearing in its entirety
around 9,000 BC. It is with their return to the planet that the
demise of Atlantis began, for with them they brought the occult
technology and ancient mystical rites that turned the people of
Atlantis from proponents of the original religion they had inherited
from Lemuria—‘the Law of One’—into a continent
ruled by black magic
and Dark sorcerer kings.
As a side note, it must also be borne in mind that down to the very
end when Poseidonis disappeared, an Initiate emperor or king—or at
least one acknowledging the “good law” –held sway in some part of
the island continent. This being helped guide and instruct the small
minority of those who were still willing to lead pure and wholesome
lives. In later days, this “white” king was a ruler elected by the
priests—the handful, that is, who still followed the “good law.” Clow describes in the stories of her past lives how she was once a “freedom fighter from the other side” working against this
Occult
Hierarchy in the last days before the sinking of Atlantis.
Within even the darkest organizations on this planet that we shall
explore in later chapters,
there are still good people. This is an important fact to keep in
mind. Most organizations depend
on the rank and file remaining unknowing of the true purposes for
which the organization really
stands, and this will even include the religions. It is therefore
unwise to condemn all those
involved with the Darkness, but we must work instead to help show
them the truth of their situation. We have all gone through those
evil days, and now those experiences we have accumulated help us
realize truth as we struggle to resurrect it again.
Remember, the key moment in Max Bollinger’s children’s book
The
Lonely Prince, comes when Prince William, unable to possess the
first thing in his life he feels is truly important, breaks down and
cries. His crying is an emotional breakthrough that thaws his
emotional indifference. Once he begins to express his feelings,
happiness also becomes possible. This is the way it is with the Dark
side. For every one of us who refuses to bow his head, the
opportunity is given for those on the Dark side to change.
This, too, is what we all must do to heal the wounds of our history,
to let go of the past and move on. This needs to be done both
individually, within ourselves, and as a race of people aligned on a
self-destructive course much like we once did before in these last
days of Atlantis.
At this time of its final destruction, and with the lowering of the
planet into the 3rd dimension, the Sirians, those who had been
worshipped as the ‘gods of old’, those who had once walked and
talked with Man much like the Anunnaki did, also appeared to leave
the planet or at least to deal with it in a very much more limited
and impersonal way.
Through their advanced technology, the ‘gods’ were able to still
communicate with the Earthlings of the time, and to still reside
occasionally in the ‘twilight zone’ areas within temples that were
links between the 3rd and 4th dimension. This is the time when ‘the
gods’ became the ‘unseen’ gods that many religions still worship
today, unseen much like we think of ghosts, astral entities, and
aliens intent on abduction.
Again Clow:
“. . .We also started communicating with beings on levels other than
ours with our powers... There were good Atlanteans and there were
Atlanteans who misused this power. And toward the end of the
Atlantis phase, the beings of Atlantis found ways to make sure they
still had contact on the earth plane.”
The Sirians and the Men from Orion, also known as the
Men in Black,
have in the past been like a horde of ravaging pirates in the
Universe. As one author puts it,
“they are in a cabal, an alliance
or a pact... to share the spoils of what they conquer, of what
they possess, of the beings they control as they move from planet to
planet.”
It was because of these two groups of planetary beings that the
war
between Maldek and Mars got started, and it was also because of
their technology, in this case a nuclear war, that both the planets
became virtually lifeless masses floating in the great void of
space.
A warning of the danger we are once again facing as we have
returned once again to a similar level of technology and aggression,
is given by
the being named Vajra:
Vajra: “That is what your age, or your generation, is about to go
through has much to do with the puberty of that child. It has much
to do with the violence and the rage and the misunderstandings and
the temper, if you will, that you are evolving from.
“In the later part and beginning of your 20th and 21st Century, so
much of what survives
now is an obsession that you have with games and games and games....
so many games! Little
children’s games. We have games here which serve a purpose to
educate and enlighten, but in
our society the things that are important are dance or music or art
and singing or the joyous
expressions of love towards one another..... and the women are
simply better at that than we men are now.”
Most of those who created the war escaped to planet Earth, and with
them they brought their connection/their worship/their subservience
to the being known as Lucifer – hence the name the Luciferian Wars.
This was the beginning of the Tree of Life as it has been worshipped
on this planet now for some 50,000 years. It is not only the tree of
man’s progression up the spiritual Jacob’s Ladder of the higher
dimensions, but also the tree of Luciferian influence on us all. As
we shall soon discover, there is an actual genetic tree linked to
the physical seed of Lucifer.
The Luciferian gene now resides in as
many as 90 percent of all those being inhabiting the Earth! These
events in Atlantis are the beginning of Lucifer, as we know him, on
Earth. And it is from this original colony in Atlantis that we must
also begin tracking him and his power as it moves from one center of
influence to another upon the planet, and from one power-based
institution to another.
It is to these beings and this particular time that The Nine refer
in the following channeling:
“In the time of Atlantis... they believed this was the secret of
being what they called the God, and they wished to be in competition
with the God and become the God... There are those who came in
sheep’s clothing but were wolves. There are those who wanted our
position but were never in a position to get it.”
Man’s history has indeed been a search to replace the FATHER –
whether it be Lucifer and his rebellion against Enjliou or the
Atlanteans searching for a way to become God. But it is only because
of a lack of the knowledge of who we really are, parts of the
Oneness of God, that we continually keep searching to return to
something we never left—and which in return never ever left us as
well.
To add strangeness upon seeming strangeness, The Nine explain that
there were those in Atlantis who new the errors of their ways, and
who chose to come back and be of service to planet Earth at this
time when the mistakes of Atlantis might soon be repeated. As Cayce
talked about the people returning to the planet who had at one time
misused or abused their power in Atlantis, so too are there people
returning to help in any way possible.
The difference with the
beings The Nine refer to is that, knowing the difficulties of
existing in the flesh at this level of density, and not wanting to
be tempted to repeat their same mistakes, these people chose to
return in a form where they would not be tempted again—they chose to
come back as dolphins.
“The dolphins have chosen to return as porpoises and dolphins though
they were once humans because they knew in this form they could not
make an error... it explains the energies of desire (190)... in
their intellect and understanding of the nature of the past
experience, we knew that they could be of service... They are
guardians ...and infertility is one of the more notable cures
from swimming with the dolphins.”
Go to SeaWorld and watch how these creatures act, listen to the
remarkable stories of people cured of physical and emotional
illnesses after having been subjected to ‘dolphin therapy’
--swimming with the dolphins. Perhaps then the reality of what has
just been said might truly begin to sink in.
Barbara Clow speaks extensively of the Men in Black from Orion and
Sirius who were the cause of the Fall of Atlantis. She sheds new
light on their purpose in being here on the planet at this time:
“(They) have infiltrated earth at this time because of the level of
technology attained...The Men in Black caused a great
cataclysm—the Fall of Atlantis—but the Men in Black did not succeed
in their ultimate goal, which was to wrest the minds of men from the
gods. The “official sources of information”—historians,
anthropologists, archaeologists, and psychologists—deny the history
of Atlantis because, if they did, people would remember that
destruction has occurred before. Then humans would have a greater
hope of identifying the way evil works to trick them out of their
freedom.
“...Their ancient battle was with
the Nibiruans and the Sirians,... and their struggle is
recorded in the many legends about fratricide (such as) Horus and
Set in Egypt... the Men in
Black are heavily incarnated on Earth during this period...
Their particular skill is in setting up
situations which encourage evil choices during times of high
technology. These covert cosmic
visitors often wear dark suits with white shirts and red ties. Most
people on Earth remember their
influence during the Fall of Atlantis, and this fear of ancient
cataclysm causes an almost total
mental paralysis upon encountering the Men in Black.”
