Atlantis

 

A great mystery surrounds a continent called Atlantis.  We first know of Atlantis from the Athenian philosopher Plato who wrote from his view of what was technically possible.  Plato describes no flying craft, but boats with sails.  He couldn’t conceive of an engine powered ship,  but could only evaluate Atlantis based on what his own world understood about the universe, science, religion, and philosophy. 

 

Plato was actually retelling stories Egyptian priests passed on to Solon.  Solon passed the tale to Dropides, the great-grandfather of Critias.  So what we have is a layered account revised and transformed through several different minds.  If there was anything precise about Atlantean technology in the stories, it is lost to our evaluation through lack of cultural and technological context.

 

When Julius Caesar burned down the Library at Alexandria in Egypt the precise records of Atlantis which the Egyptian priests used to tell the story of Atlantis to Solon were lost forever. 

 

Dweller on Two Planets, a book written through channeling in 1899 also appears to be limited by the writer’s awareness of what was technically possible at that time.  The flying machines of the day were dirigibles.  Thus dirigibles were the aircraft used by the Atlanteans not flying saucers or Boeing 747’s.

 

I am a reincarnationist.  In my meditations I have contacted past lives and I think I was in Atlantis many times during its long, illustrious existence.  Atlantis endured much longer than the Roman Empire (to my knowledge the longest continuing civilization in recorded history) which lasted with fair continuity for at least a thousand years.

 

I was there during the Golden Age of Atlantis, when Heaven and Earth came together (Lord’s Prayer:  thy will be down on Earth as it is in Heaven).  The Seven Crystal Towers hovered visibly and was accessible to the highly evolved Atlantean population.  The Etheric Ruler resided in the Center Tower and there was peace on Earth and good will among men for many centuries until its fall. 

 

Seeds of Heaven the first in a series of novels describes this fall and its aftermath; but either I don’t remember being there or don’t want to remember.  I submit Atlantis in its Golden Age was a scientifically advanced spacefaring society of enlightened beings who eventually were caught in the life cycle grinding machine.

 

"There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven" ² A time to give birth, and a time to die; Ecclesiastes 3.1,2

 

I submit that the UFO’s now accepted by the many are the survivors of the Atlantean experience which was the last world Golden Age.  The Seeds of Heaven series will chronicle the march to the next Golden Age.  What will it be called – Democraticia?
