Atlantis Blavatsky. The Secret Doctrines of Helena Blavatsky. What is the "Secret Doctrine"

For the first time, the well-known Soviet scientist and atlantologist Nikolai Feodosevich Zhirov (1903-1970) spoke about atlantology as a science. In 1964, his famous book “Atlantis. The main problems of atlantology”, where the scientist formulated its principles and methods. According to him, atlantology as a science can be considered one of the sections of the biogeography of the modern, Quaternary period (Anthropogen) of the geological history of the Earth.

At the end of the 19th century, probably the most famous book by the American congressman and politician Ignatius Donelly (1831-1901) “Atlantis. The World Before the Flood” (1882). He came to the conclusion that the basis of many myths and legends about the events of prehistoric times contains a grain of truth. Donelly suggested that the gods and goddesses of ancient Greek myth, for example, are personifications of the historical kings of Atlantis and other civilizations of the past. A few years later, in 1877 and 1888, Helena Blavatsky publishes the two main books of life, Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine, which describes the esoteric-occult history of the development of the Fourth Race of Atlantes.

Atlantomaniacs declared emphatically at the Vancouver Congress (1933): “We will never abandon the idea of ​​Atlantis just to please the geologists and botanists. Atlantis has won a position too honorable in literature to be shaken by tedious scientific arguments.

In 1923, the first journal devoted to Atlantis “Atlantis” began to be published in Paris, and on June 24, 1926, the Society for Atlantological Studies (Société d'Études Atlantéennes) was founded there, the main task of which “became a critical and scientific analysis of all problems associated with the existence Atlantis, collecting literature and providing support for all scientific research concerning this extremely interesting problem.

In 1948, a new journal, Atlantean Research, appears in London. For a long time, the journal was headed by the well-known atlantologist, member of the Royal Geographical Society Edgerton Sykes (1894-1983), who also founded the Atlantis Research Center in the English city of Brighton. Here Sykes collected the largest collection of classical sources, monuments of ancient literature and collections of legends related to Atlantis.

In recent years, a large number of magazines, other periodicals, specially dedicated to Atlantis have appeared. In Europe, in America, in Africa, at one time even in the Azores, magazines about Atlantis and the most ancient mysteries of mankind were published and are still being published. Societies, organizations and clubs are being created in many countries that are actively working on the problem of the island of Poseidonis. One of the main such centers is located in the state of Virginia (USA). The Association of Scientists and Educators (ARE) was established in 1932 on the basis of the Edgar Cayce Foundation, where research, experiments, seminars and lectures are conducted related to the famous "readings" of the great seer and other problems, in particular, with the problem of Atlantis. After the death of Sykes, all materials and books from England were transferred to the library of the Association, where they are now.

According to our information, one of the closed US institutes is engaged in the study of the heritage of H. P. Blavatsky and other occultists, theosophists on the problem of Atlantis and the search for unknown historical documents related to this island.

Russia is also developing secret projects for exploration and research in the Atlantic Ocean (and not only in it). “Black archaeologists” are active in this regard, the finds of which are unlikely to appear in the near future before the eyes of scientists and specialists. Russian atlantologists have become noticeably more active. Since 1999, the almanac "Atlantis: Problems, Searches, Hypotheses" has been published in Moscow.

In the summer of 1998, the Institute of Metahistory, together with the Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. P.P. Shirshov prepared an expedition to search for the legendary island. Scientists had to test the hypothesis of Vyacheslav Kudryavtsev, a full member of the Russian Geographical Society of the Russian Academy of Sciences, according to which Atlantis was located in the area of ​​​​the Celtic shelf, south of present-day England and Ireland and west of France. But the expedition did not take place due to financial difficulties.

First of all, Kudryavtsev compared several English and Russian translations of Plato's dialogues, highlighting the most controversial places in them. As a result of such comparisons, the researcher found that the Platonic dialogues are not about an island, but about a certain “land” that was “beyond the Pillars of Hercules”. There is also a significant difference in Plato's description of the capital of Atlantis. In Greek translation, this is a city located high above sea level, on a steep hill with a cliff towards the sea. The whole city is surrounded by a flat plain, in turn bordered on three sides by a chain of high mountains. This plain is now located on the Celtic shelf south of the British Isles, and the edge of the continental platform faces south-southwest.

Not far from this edge, about 48º 16-29´ N. sh. and 8º 46-59´ W. D., located underwater hill Little Sol. Its peak rises from the surface at 57 meters, at the same time it is surrounded by depths of 16 - 170 meters. This hill is almost in the middle of the long side of the plain. This area, south of Ireland, was dry land during glacial and post-glacial times, about 10,000 years ago. Kudryavtsev believes that Atlantis died as a result of a strong rise in the level of the World Ocean during the melting of ice, when the last Ice Age ended.

It was Russia that gave the world those writers - M. Lomonosov, D. Merezhkovsky, V. Bryusov, K. Balmont, V. Khlebnikov, V. Rozanov, Vyach. Ivanov, D. Andreev, A. Tolstoy, A. Belyaev - who used their creative gift to show the mysterious world of Atlantis in all its glory, to express bold and unexpected hypotheses.

Russia has its own Atlantis - Belovodie. Belovodye is a secret Russian concept that was found among Old Believers, wanderers, a sacred country in the East, a place of fulfillment of cherished human desires, where holy sages and righteous people live, who have kept their spiritual knowledge and true faith pure. Finding Belovodye means finding the White Water of Eternal Life and spirituality, finding inner harmony, a source of health, happiness and wisdom in your soul.

Rus' has long been one of the early colonies or lands of Atlantis, if we recall that the outlines of the current continents and continents were completely different several tens of thousands of years ago. It is the Slavic legends that tell us about the lost once great land of Veles-Svyatogora-Dazhbog.

Therefore, we consider Russian Atlantis, first of all, as a kind of timeless phenomenon, born on the Slavic land and inherent in any other nation. Isn't this what the genetic memory, hidden in the deepest layers of the "collective unconscious" of humanity, tells us about? Undoubtedly, there is an archetype of Atlantis, like the archetypes of other pracivilizations. But the Slavic people and its best representatives were somehow able to show and express the innermost mystery of Atlantis in a more penetrating, sincere way, creating their own, different from the West, unique and inimitable image of Russian utopianism.

Lomonosov first mentions Atlantis in his works “Letter on Earthquakes” (St. Petersburg, 1756) and “A Word on the Birth of Metals from Earth Shaking” (St. Petersburg, 1757). The great poet describes the underwater palace of Neptune in his poem "Peter the Great" (1760-1761).

The idea of ​​a primordial culture was originally developed by another famous Russian poet Vasily Kapnist in his Brief Study on the Hyperboreans (1815). In the article Kapnist raises the question of the origin of the Slavs from the Hyperboreans and Atlanteans.

“About the ancient kingdoms” recalls the muse of another Russian poet, Semyon Bobrov. He speaks of the Blissful (Canary) Islands: "where the souls of the ancients boiled Ambrose in recompense." An even more majestic picture of perishing states is recreated by Bobrov in his poem “The Fate of the Ancient World, or the Flood” (St. Petersburg, 1804).

In the first half of the 19th century, Abraham Norov made an attempt to scientifically search for Atlantis in the Mediterranean area, based on hard-to-reach Arabic and Greek sources.

The most prominent role in the creation of the occult tradition about Atlantis was played by our compatriot H. P. Blavatsky, whose monumental works Isis Unveiled (1877) and The Secret Doctrine (1888) contributed to the further study and dissemination of the esoteric heritage.

Works of Russian atlantologists: V. Shcherbakov, A. Kondratov, A. Gorodnitsky, V. Kudryavtsev, A. Asov, V. Demin, A. Voitsekhovsky, D. Panchenko, A. Rybin, and others made it possible to get closer to resolving the centuries-old riddle-myth.

In 2000, the First Russian Congress of Atlantologists took place in Moscow, which mainly dealt with organizational issues. Nevertheless, it was prioritized in the leadership of Russian atlantology at the moment. The leading atlantologists of Russia were the writer, President of the Moscow Club of Mysteries, academician of the International Academy of Informatization Vladimir Shcherbakov and laureate of the USSR State Prize, full member of the Russian Academy of Cosmonautics. K. E. Tsiolkovsky Alim Voitsekhovsky. At its meeting, the congress noted the revival of interest in Russia to the problem of Atlantis. The development of the science of atlantology will inevitably lead in the near future to a practical goal - to the discovery of the mysterious Atlantis.

Incredible relics of antediluvian peoples

To date, the most promising areas for the search for Atlantis are: the Cuban and Bahamas, the Bermuda Triangle, Central and South America, the island of Sao Paulo, the Celtic shelf, the coast of Spain, the mouth of Gibraltar, the Atlas region and Tritonida (North Africa), Macaronesia, the islands of Crete and Santorini.

The esoteric tradition, as it were, confirms the words of Plato. Theosophists (including H. P. Blavatsky) tell us about four ancient continents that periodically disappear after each cataclysm on Earth. These are the Indestructible Sacred Country (the only one of the four that is destined to stay from the beginning to the end of Manvantara, throughout each Round), Hyperborea, Lemuria and Atlantis. In ancient times, Atlantis was a huge archipelago, consisting of "an accumulation of many islands and peninsulas." At the beginning of Atlantean history, says Blavatsky, the vast Continent was divided into seven peninsulas and islands (called Dvipa). The mainland (Atlantis) included all the North and South Atlantic regions, as well as parts of the North and South Pacific Ocean, and even had islands in the Indian Ocean (the remnants of Lemuria). Blavatsky once again emphasizes that it is impossible to draw a clear line that would mark the geographical border of the archipelagos of the perishing Lemuria and the emerging Atlantis. Such a scatter in the geography of finds tied to the history of Atlantis is understandable. The ten kingdoms of the sons of Poseidon could have arisen on seven islands, peninsulas, or even areas ( one must think on the continental shelves, which later disappeared), then turning into numerous colonies on all continents (“Eastern Atlantis” by V. Shcherbakov, Crete and other countries of the Mediterranean).

The esoteric tradition speaks of the mysterious treasures of the world, supposedly hidden in the reliable, secret vaults of the Earth. Esotericists report that the Atlanteans received sacred relics from previous races: the Hyperboreans and Lemurians, and then were transferred to the best representatives of our Fifth Race. Only the Great Initiates know where the precious heritage of the extinct Races is hidden. These repositories are located in South America, Africa, Europe, Russia and Tibet.

Jorge Livraga writes in his book “Thebes” that about 12,000 years ago, as a result of another cataclysm, the last fragment of Atlantis, Poseidonis, disappeared, but most of the libraries and some Atlantean objects were already in Egypt.

Some of these relics, somehow connected with Atlantis, have already been found: these are the gold of Troy, the geographical maps of Ptolemy, Piri Reis, Orontius Phineus, Mercator, Bembo Isis Tablet, Noah's Ark, the famous Mitchell Hedges crystal skull or "Skull of Doom" (discovered in 1927 in a Mayan temple in British Honduras, now Belize) and other skulls found in Central America, Europe and Tibet.

According to modern reconstruction, the remains of the last glaciation can be observed on the Ptolemy map in Northern Europe. If so, then the picture depicted on this map refers to a period that is 10,000 years away from us. The geographical maps of Piri Reis, Orontius Fineus had prototypes related to the late glacial period, neither the Phoenicians, nor the Egyptians, nor the ancient Greeks had such knowledge. They clearly show the rivers that flowed in Antarctica about 6,000 years ago! The Piri Reis map shows a large island in the Atlantic Ocean east of South America in the Sao Paulo region. According to Russian and Italian researchers, Atlantis was in this place. Holocene movements of the planetary crust have been discovered here during the last 12,000 years, which occurred after the end of the ice age. Granites, carbonaceous shales, were found at the bottom of the ocean, which could only be formed on the land. The lithospheric blocks have sunk to the bottom recently and are not covered by marine sediments. Plato's description of the relief of the capital of Atlantis surprisingly resembles the local structure of a volcanic caldera. Arc-shaped concentric uplifts and underwater valleys in a circle are hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

The tablet of Isis was found in 1530 and sold to Cardinal Bembo. There have been many interpretations of the Tablet. Divided into three panels, it may represent a plan of the halls where the mysteries of Isis were performed. Plato, passing the initiation ritual in the underground hall of the Great Pyramid, stood in front of the altar, on which lay the Tablet of Isis.

Literally all experts claim that the skulls come from Atlantis. The "Skull of Doom" is a repository in which some information is incomprehensibly recorded. The fact is that this skull sometimes glows, and images of unfamiliar landscapes and mysterious buildings appear inside it, similar to the temples of the Atlanteans.

Sensational finds still excite the imagination of people. One of these finds should be recognized as the treasury of unknown kings from Dorak on the Asia Minor coast of the Sea of ​​Marmara in the 1950s. According to experts, the age of the relics of unknown gods, seen and partly described by Professor James Mellart, was 45 centuries! Dorak's gold has drifted into private collections and is apparently lost to science forever. In the 1980s, an exhibition was opened at the New York Metropolitan Museum, which exhibited the treasures of Croesus taken out of Turkey 18 years ago. In 1999, in Turkey, where the kingdom of Phrygia was once located, the golden tomb of King Midas was discovered. It is made of golden blocks, its size is 9.5 by 4.5 meters. The royal sign of Midas is engraved on the walls of the tomb, as well as texts about the life of the Phrygian king. In the center of the burial room stood a large golden sarcophagus, inside of which was a coffin. Austrian expert on ancient civilizations, Dr. Wolfgang Reinstein, said that the body of King Midas to this day has an amazing ability to turn all objects into gold if touched.

Fidel Castro - King of Atlantis?

In the book "The Gates of Atlantis" (2000), the British scholar Andrew Collins examines in detail the options for translating Plato's dialogues. According to Collins, Plato was trying to tell us that the rulers of Atlantis, and indeed of the "other" islands, held under their rule oceanic territories equal in area to Libya and Asia! Therefore, the kingdom of the Atlanteans was not a single island massif, but a huge a bunch of islands.

Traditionally, the southwestern part of Europe and the northwestern tip of Africa are regarded as the location of the legendary Atlantis. Atlas, for example, was the king of ancient Mauritania, located in what is now Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. It was here that J. Mayol found stone walls at a depth of 40 meters in the waters of Morocco, stretching for 16 km. In Plato, the twin brother of Atlas, Eumel (Gadir), received “the tip of the island directly in front of the Pillars of Hercules, the very area that today is called Gadir” as inheritance. Atlantologists usually identify him with Tartessus-Atlantis. In the later Roman era, the Iberian port of Gades was named Cadiz.

French scientist Jacques Collina-Girard stated that Atlantis was located in the Strait of Gibraltar. 19,000 years ago, the level of the World Ocean was lower by 130 m, and Gibraltar at that time was much narrower and longer. In fact, such a strait was the “inland sea” that Plato spoke of. In the western part of the ancient “strait-sea”, Jacques Collina-Girard found an island stretched from west to east, where, in his opinion, the Atlanteans lived. To the east of this island, at the bottom of the strait, there is a series of elevations, which then represented an archipelago consisting of four or seven islands.

Russian and American geologists have long studied the Ampere, Josephine, and Atlantis seamounts, which are part of the Horseshoe Archipelago. On the slopes of these mountains, the remains of some structures, walls, terraces, built of huge rectangular stone blocks, were found. Samples of basalt showed that such a rock could only have formed on the land 12000-15000 years ago. Thus, almost 12,000 this archipelago was above the water and stretched from the Azores to Gibraltar. Here Zhirov placed "his" Atlantis, being not familiar with the latest research.

Andrew Collins said that the most famous Atlantis was in Cuba! He identifies the kingdom of the Atlanteans with the legendary Antilia - the Island of the Seven Cities. Information about Antilia was known to the Phoenicians, Carthaginians and Moors long before this island began to appear on medieval navigational charts.

According to Collins, Cuba, Hispaniola (Haiti) and Puerto Rico are the three largest islands of Atlantis (according to the ancient evidence of Marcellus-Proclus), the remaining seven are the remnants of that land archipelago that stretched from Cuba to the Bahamas.

It was in Cuba that, according to Collins, a highly developed civilization existed, which built mysterious stone sculptures and earthen monuments. In the eastern part of the province of Santiago, for example, archaeologists have found "circles, squares, burial mounds and hedges." All these finds in general terms resemble the remains of earthworks in the Mississippi Valley (USA). Some of the earthworks found in this valley, which have come down to us in varying degrees of preservation, are completely unique monuments dating from about 4000-3000 BC. e. Recent studies have shown that people in Cuba lived around 6000 BC. e. (Levis culture), which was then absorbed by the wider Guayabo Blanco culture (5000 BC).

At the site of ancient people (2000 BC) near the Cueva Funche cave in the city of Guanahacibibes, in the western province of Pinar del Rio, archaeologists discovered in 1966 two vertical stone pillars that were once part of a vast earthen structure. These monoliths are reminiscent of Neolithic and Bronze Age sites in Europe.

On the walls of the caves, rock paintings, unique petroglyphs (abstract forms) and pictographs (images of animals and humans) have been preserved. But of particular interest are abstract geometric compositions: concentric rings, spirals, triangles, squares and rhombuses. The drawings are dated between 5000 BC. e. and 250 AD e. According to other estimates, their age is at least 30,000 years!

Plato's description of the capital of the Atlanteans, according to Collins, is quite similar to the relief of the western part of Cuba. To the west of Havana, a fertile valley stretches all the way to Pinar del Rio for almost 540 km. This plain about 10,000-8,000 years ago extended south to the shores of the island of Molodist and its width was almost 160 km.

The echo of the ancient tradition is reflected in the legends of the peoples of Central America, dedicated to their mythical ancestral home Aztlan, where the Seven Caves were located. According to legend, the capital of the Atlanteans consisted of seven parts, converging to a certain central cave, which was located in the bowels of the “mountain”, surrounded by water.

One of these Seven Caves was accidentally discovered in 1910. Collins visited her in 1998. This is a cave called Cueva N 1, one of the "Seven Caves" in Punta del Este, on the Island of Youth, about 100 km from the coast of Cuba. This island, according to Collins, occupied the position of the citadel of the capital of Atlantis, and the caves of Punta del Este served as a grotto in which Leucippe gave birth to Clito, the progenitor of the Atlanteans.

A cross was inscribed on the walls of the cave, formed from gradually diverging rings. But the most striking was the target pattern, consisting of about 50-55 concentric rings alternately red and black. On top of this drawing, nine more groups of rings are applied, as well as a double arrow, emerging, as it were, from the center and reaching the outer ring. According to Collins, the orbits of the planets and the central Sun are shown here. The composition of the target resembled raindrops falling into water. Such "solar arrows" are found in many caves in the United States. Through the windows made in the caves, a ray of sunlight on the day of the summer solstice falls exactly on the drawing. Another design consisted of concentric rings connected to a strangely shaped S-tail, which was also surrounded by rings. This image looked like a comet, and the raindrops looked like falling fragments of a celestial body. Such “cups and rings” of the Mesolithic era are found, for example, in Scotland. In Mayan mythology, the rattlesnake had a celestial counterpart emanating from the seven stars of the Pleiades constellation.

After the catastrophe and the end of the ice age, the rise in the level of the World Ocean caused the flooding of the island massifs of the Bahama and Cuban archipelagos. The formation of bottom sediments along the circumference of the Bahamas began in 10000-8000 years. BC e. (end of IX millennium BC). Around 3000 BC e. The sea level has settled at about the current level.

In the northern coastal waters of Cuba, the remains of cyclopean structures were seen here back in the 1950s, but due to a lack of technical means, research work was not carried out. There have already been reports in the press about a complex of underwater structures with an area of ​​four hectares north of Cuba. Collins carefully writes that, according to unconfirmed reports, research has already been carried out in this “complex of buildings” using a Soviet submarine. Perhaps these buildings were located on the vast bank of Cay Sal, 70 km north of Cuba. When the ocean level rose markedly, the Kai Sal bank sank under the water after the end of the ice age around 8000-6000 BC. BC e. Subsequently, the deputy director of the Museum of Science and Archeology in Florida, Herb Savinski, discovered two more structures on this bank, reminiscent of the famous “Bimini Road”, as well as two huge processed and polished stone blocks.

And no matter how incredible this story may seem, the fact remains: it was followed by the publication of the book of the Soviet scientist and atlantologist N. F. Zhirov “Atlantis” (1957). A more thorough work called “Atlantis. The main problems of atlantology” appeared in 1964. It was at that time, says Collins, that the Soviet Union, relying on these finds, was actively searching for evidence of the existence of Atlantis in various parts of the Atlantic.

The Russian almanac "Atlantis: problems, searches, hypotheses" has unique documents from the personal archive of N. F. Zhirov (1903-1970). Among them is an unpublished biography of a Russian scientist. Judging by these documents, such highly classified research work was indeed carried out.

Leicester Hemingway was among those people in the West who suggested that the Soviet Union had already carried out research on an underwater facility in Cuban waters. During his flight to Cuba, Leicester Hemingway, brother of the famous writer Ernest Hemingway, noticed at the bottom of the vast Cai Sal jar "stone ruins, covering an area of ​​​​several acres and having a strange white color, as if they were made of marble."

The famous American treasure hunter Mel Fisher also knew the location of the capital of Atlantis - where, he did not specify, but made it clear to his friends that he would be able to go in search of it only when the authorities of a certain country established more friendly relations with the United States. In 1998, Collins was able to talk to Fisher. The latter confirmed that the desired object was first discovered thanks to images taken from a space satellite, and then its existence was confirmed by sonar instruments. Unfortunately, in December 1998, Mel Fisher died, taking his secret of Atlantis to the grave.

Most recently, former US President Jimmy Carter paid a friendly visit to Cuba and met with Fidel Castro. Prior to this visit, no US diplomat had set foot on Cuban soil. This happened just at the time when the long and painstaking work of Cuban and Canadian researchers on the secret program "Atlantis" was carried out. The amazing thing is that Carter gained access to literally every facility in Cuba, including military bases.

In May 2001, an expedition of the Canadian company Advanced Digital Communications (ADC) worked in Guanajacibibes Bay, in the western part of Cuba. The Canadian company is one of four companies that are now officially searching for Spanish galleons in Cuban waters. But the main purpose of such searches is strictly classified. According to rumors leaked in the Western press, explorers are looking for the remains of Atlantis and its capital. The expedition is led by oceanologist Polina Zelitskaya. She is working with the Cuban Academy of Sciences to map a relatively unexplored area of ​​the ocean floor. It is assumed that these works will not only help the geographical and archaeological study of the region, but will also allow the development of measures to raise cargo from the sunken Spanish galleons, which is estimated at 3 trillion US dollars.

When scanning horizontally, deep-sea submersibles recorded a huge stone structure at the bottom of the Cuban Gulf of Guanaacabibes, similar to an underwater city with clearly located, as if specially lined streets and squares. It is curious that Polina Zelitskaya was born in Poland, but studied engineering at one of the institutes of the Soviet Union. During the Cold War, she was assigned to work on a secret submarine that was then in Cuban waters. After that, Zelitskaya got married and moved to Canada. This once again proves that the discoveries of the Cuban-Canadian company led by Polina Zelitskaya in the western waters of Cuba were based on the results that were made several decades ago by the Russians and Cubans. It is no secret that until now the area of ​​the Seven Caves on the Island of Youth is controlled by the military, and tourists are denied access here.

For underwater filming, Canadians brought the Illuminant remote-controlled submarine, which was located on the Ulysses oceanographic vessel. They used sophisticated scanning (sound) equipment for the first time and came to sensational conclusions.

Polina Zelitskaya said that at a depth of 670 meters, researchers discovered a city spread over an area of ​​40 square kilometers. It was “a huge plateau with clear outlines, reminiscent of huge architectural structures, partially covered with sand. From above, they look like pyramids, roads and buildings.” On the video monitor, structures appeared in the form of pyramids, rectangles, huge balls, apparently made of processed granite blocks. The deep-sea “Illuminant”, put on wheels, even drove several kilometers along a paved underwater road. But the submarine was not the first. Traces of an unknown vehicle that passed here shortly before its descent are imprinted on the highway.

The city is older than the pyramids of Egypt by about 1500 years. At that time, the seabed was dry land, and Mexico's Yucatan peninsula was connected to Cuba. The study area is now dotted with underwater volcanoes. Near the Yucatan, researchers also found huge caves with statues carved into them. Straight roads are also visible through the water, they start in the jungle and go deep into the water. According to calculations, Cuba itself went under water three times.

The stone blocks are clearly made by human hands. But the most sensational thing is that mysterious inscriptions were found on the edges of these stones. The size of the largest blocks reaches 2 x 2 x 5 m. The structures resemble the ancient buildings of Easter Island and Stonehenge. Huge and smooth stones do not fit into the environment in any way, they are very evenly cut and, in the form of pyramid bases, are ideally located one above the other.

On some blocks there are images of the “Central American cross”, consisting of two ovals superimposed on each other at right angles. This is a very ancient symbol. The cross and signs are also found on the walls of the caves of Cuba and on the nearby islands. Some images are similar to the symbols of Central America and to the signs of archaic Greek writing. But there is no other similarity with the written signs of the native inhabitants of America. On the contrary, scientists suggested that the mysterious signs found are similar to the Cretan-Mycenaean linear letter B (III-II millennium BC), which has not yet been deciphered. Most likely, such signs were left in various regions of the Earth by the so-called “peoples of the sea”, who rushed from the shores of the Aegean Sea.

Frank Joseph, editor-in-chief of the Ancient America magazine, believes that the “overseas” possessions of the Atlanteans were located on the territory of Spain, Ireland, Yucatan. In his opinion, Atlantis finally perished as a result of a catastrophe that occurred 3200 years ago, which caused the end of the Bronze Age on the entire planet.

At a symposium of astronomers in 1997, scientists concluded that around 1200 BC. e. Halley's comet collided with Earth. The meteor shower destroyed most of the earthlings, leaving behind huge destruction. Several asteroids from this hail collided in the eastern Atlantic at what was thought to be Atlantis.

Some scholars have expressed many criticisms of the Cuban finds. Polina Zelitskaya herself recently stated: “This is really an amazing sight, the building looks like a huge city center. However, it is too early to draw any conclusions until we have any evidence yet.” Andrew Collins is more optimistic. The discovery only confirms his many years of research on the connections of Cuba with Atlantis. In September 2002, the expedition will again start exploring the Cuban waters.

Currently, US and British ships are on combat duty near these places. Some optimistic atlantologists say that underwater inhabitants of Atlantis may live in the depths of the Cuban Gulf. We will wait for new results.

Rival Bahamas

In recent years, the most sensational discoveries have been made in the Bahamas. The Bahamas consist of 700 large and almost 2,000 tiny islets and rocky cliffs. The most famous islands are: New Providence, Great Abaco, Great Bahama, Cat, Long Island, Eleuthera, Great Exuma, San Salvador, Aklins, Crooked Island, Great Inagua and the largest of them is Andros.

In the summer of 1968, Captain Robert Brush and co-pilot Trigg Adams, flying slightly north of Andros Island, saw the outline of a regular rectangle. After the flight, they reported this discovery to D. Manson Valentine, a specialist in underwater archeology and antiquities of pre-Columbian America and French oceanographer Dmitry Rebikoff. Valentine and Rebikoff found that a rectangle measuring about 30 by 24 meters is precisely oriented along an east-west axis. Processed limestone blocks about 1 m thick were also found there.

Researchers immediately remembered Edgar Cayce's prediction in 1933 and 1940 that in 1968 or 1969 it would be possible to find the wreckage of the underwater temple of the Atlanteans near Bimini. Thus, Valentine and Rebikoff recognized the discovery near Andros Island as important evidence of the return of Atlantis in 1968. Valentine, in a press release issued in Miami on August 23, 1968, announced that “an ancient temple has been found, the walls of which are somewhat tilted. The walls are masonry and, without a doubt, are the work of human hands.

A little later, the same Robert Brush, southwest of the coast of Andros Island, noticed a huge dark ring 300 m in diameter and about 1 m wide. Inside it were two more concentric rings of the same thickness. Scuba divers confirmed that the rings were made from a "three-row" layer of stone.

On September 2, 1968, at a distance of 800 m from Paradise Point on North Bimini, Valentine and his colleagues were able to detect another mysterious underwater object - the so-called "Bimini Road". The length of the road is about 638 meters, it is built from a double row of stone blocks. Some blocks are up to four meters wide and have a smooth surface. Further, the road is paved with rectangular blocks about 2 m wide. The highway then turns almost at a right angle towards the coast and resembles the letter J. The road itself is located at an angle of 14º relative to the coast, and the structure is oriented to the southwest. The thickness of the blocks varies from 60 to 90 cm. As a rule, there are gaps between the blocks 10-15 cm wide, however, some of them are 67-78 cm apart from each other.

Charles Berlitz in his book “The Mystery of Atlantis” writes that in terms of chemical composition these stones are not ordinary coastal ones and, according to Valentine, they were specially processed or were a composite like concrete. In 1969, scientists D. Gifford and D. E. Hall conducted a study of the road. They concluded that the object was a “Pleistocene coastal rock cut,” a characteristic feature of the coast of the Bahamas.

In the area of ​​the Moselle Bank (5 km north of Bimini), Valentine and his friend Jim Richardson recorded from the air a number of underwater objects of obviously artificial origin. They were "a complex system of squares, rectangles and semicircles." A structure was found nearby, consisting of many cells, almost 100 meters long. In shape, it resembled a human foot with fingers. The structure was composed of hexagons, the smallest reaching 3.5 meters.

Several rectangular, triangular, and other structures have also been found along the northern edge of the Grand Bahama Bank, off North Bimini. 100 km southeast of Bimini, two parallel roads stretch for almost 11 km to the islet of Russell Light House. These lines were part of a huge star-shaped composition hidden under dense algae. Near the island of Kay Gvintchos, the researchers saw terraced slopes from the height of the flight, the “streets” on which ran almost parallel. Valentine defined this place as a kind of "ceremonial center". Closer to Cuba, they noticed "a lot of dark rectangles and straight lines stretching into the distance." Subsequently, Valentine will call this find "the architectural plan of an exceptionally complex urban complex." Throughout his research, Manson Valentine (died 1994) managed to include in his dossier about 60 objects located in the shallow waters of the Great Bahama Bank, which may be of archaeological interest.

In the early 1970s, scuba divers reported to Alan Landsburg that they had found about 14 artificial objects in the waters of Andros Island. Landsburg described his search in the entertaining book In Search of Ancient Mysteries (1974). These structures had walls “built of large square-shaped limestone blocks tightly fitted to each other.” The thickness of the walls was 1.3 m. The largest building was 81 m long, 27 m wide and was divided into 3 separate halls or parts. In the same place, divers stumbled upon “baked earthenware and ceramic figurines.” The analysis showed that the figurines were created around 5000-3000 years. BC e.

In the 1970s, a group of scuba divers, along with Dr. David Zink, conducted an annual survey as part of the Poseidia Project. Subsequent expeditions "Poseidia-75" and "Poseidia-77", led by E. Zink, revealed that the "temple" found by Valentine is a pile of rubble. The Bimini road was also explored. Based on the fact that most of the stones had dimensions of about 2.3 and 3.45 m, the researchers received a conventional building unit - 1.15 meters. This ancient unit was exactly equal to two Phoenician cubits, or 1.14 meters. Radiocarbon analysis of rock showed 15,000 years! Therefore, the members of the expedition considered that the road had more of an architectural than a geological origin.

In 1975, David Zink, near the south branch of the Bimini road, discovered a hewn and polished piece of masonry. The stone was a square with a side of 32 cm, its thickness was about 8 cm. The block was made of mixed rock, which includes flint and limestone; this breed is not found in the Bahamas. On both sides of the block, tongues are visible, running along the entire length, and on the third there is a long longitudinal groove, into which the tongue of another block should have entered. Several marble and granite blocks have been found in the area, although this rock is not found on the islands. These include hexagonal slabs with a diameter of about 1 m and a thickness of only a few cm, as well as collapsed stone monoliths. Among such finds, a block of marble weighing from 90 to 135 kg stands out. It looks like a stylized image of some animal from the cat family.

The famous scuba diver Rob Palmer, in The Blue Deeps of the Bahamas (1985), stated: “Man moved to the Bahamas long before the level of the oceans rose significantly about 5,000 years ago.” In the vicinity of the island of Grand Bahama, he opened a "public burial mound" in the so-called Hall of Heavenly Light - a huge underwater cave complex. It consists of many caves and connecting channels with a length of about 10 km. The hill is a large cone-shaped mound of large stones and located in a huge cave, which, according to Palmer, was once an underwater lake. Above this mound is a round window. A sunbeam, penetrating under the arches of the cave, falls on special petroglyphs exactly on the days of the equinox. There is an undoubted connection of this cave with the cave N 1 in Punta del Este. This ancient building is undoubtedly the creation of an unknown civilization.

In 1995, near the southern branch of the Bimini road, scuba diver Billy Keefy found a hewn and polished block measuring 56 by 47 cm, and about 11 cm thick. The weight of the artifact is 25 kg. The black stone was a "fine-grained black granite" of the same type as the granite found in Vermont, New Hampshire, and Washington, as well as in Italy. On one side of the block there were "complex connecting elements" in the form of a deep triangular tongue or groove. E. Collins, who saw this stone, however, stated that it was not granite, but hornblende (slate), and it could hardly have been used on a ship as ballast.

Currently, the expedition of the American archaeologist Douglas Richards is exploring the underwater shelf of Bimini.

Douglas Richards and Joan Henley led an expedition to the Bimin Islands (North Bimini and South Bimini) in the summer of 1996, initiated by the Association of Scientists and Educators (ARE). Dr. Richards is a faculty member at Eastern University and is the head of research for the Meridian Institute. Dr. Henley is President of the GAFA Project and has been exploring the Beamin Islands for many years.

They reported "many anomalous features (under water) that could be evidence of an ancient civilization." D. Richards and J. Henley studied a large cliff, the base of which on the echolocation map goes 300 meters deep, and its top - 40 meters. In one place they noticed a rectangular fragment 15 m long and 8 m wide. Inside it were smaller rectangular segments. Another object was immediately discovered protruding from this cliff. Scientists speak of them as archaeological ruins. The main thing is not to confuse artifacts with the wreckage of sunken ships. The satellite tracking system quite accurately recorded the rectangular outgrowths.

10,000 years ago, there was land on the site of the Great Bahama Bank, and people could live on this cliff. Most geologists believe that the cliff is made entirely of limestone or organic material. But this type of rock has never been seen on the Bahama Bridge.

A few years ago, one of the team members, John Holden, saw something that looked like a pylon or a rectangular object made of granite or concrete? Its size is 15 by 5 meters, it also sticks out from the edge of the cliff. Unfortunately, it has not yet been discovered, as it can be very difficult to fix one or another object during the first dive.

Not far from the coast, mysterious mounds rise above the ground, which attracted researchers. The work was carried out with the help of Gypsy Graves, an archaeologist and curator at the Graves Museum in Eroward Country, Florida. These are the so-called "shark" and "rectangular" barrows. A seismic study of a rectangular mound was carried out. Although there are salty mangrove swamps around them, these mounds are 3.5-4 meters above the ground. Scientists talk about the artificial origin of earth embankments. They are reminiscent of the figured mounds of North America, such as the great Serpent Mound in Ohio. Strange is the fact that these mounds grow plants that are not found anywhere else in Bimini. The Bimin barrows are astronomically precisely oriented. The tail of the "shark" hill has a rectangular shape, and its corners point exactly to the north, south, east and west.

Order of the Knights of Atlantis

More than one expedition was coordinated by Steve Heath, marine biologist, diver, representative of the Association of Scientists and Educators (Virginia, USA). This organization (ARE) was established in 1932 on the basis of the Edgar Cayce Foundation, which conducts research, experiments, seminars and lectures related to the famous “readings” of the great seer and other problems, in particular, the problem of Atlantis.

Since 1989, several organizations, including the Quest for Atlantis group (Joan Henley, Wanda Osman), the GAFA project (Joan Henley), the Alta project (Bill Donato, Donnie Fields) began to use new techniques in underwater research. As part of the Alta project, 4 expeditions were carried out to the Bahamas: in October 1997, in June 1998, in May 1999 and in 2001. Within the framework of the GAFA project, 3 expeditions were sent to this area in 1998, 1999 and 2001.

In 1998, Bill Donato decided to find three concentric circles south of Andros. A year ago, he managed to photograph them. As Bill Donato told our almanac, these ruins resemble the rounded capital of Atlantis outlined by Plato. In size, the three circles exactly match the description of the capital in the Critias dialogue.

Soon they could discover the remains of an underwater stone structure called the Pentagon (Pentagon). The same Pentagon was recorded at South Bimini. Probably, there are several such structures. The question is whether they are the remains of ancient structures, like the Olmec hexagonal structures.

On the Moselle Bank, researchers stumbled upon a massive structure made up of 19 huge blocks. Donato established that they were made by man. A cut was found on the first stone, which began at the bottom, continued to the very top and ended on the side of the stone. On another stone, the cut was located in the corner. The first stone was discovered in October 1997. The second stone was found recently. The scientist proves that other stones may have signs left by man. If the Bimini road is about 15,000 years old, then these rocks could be much older. Traces of an ancient waterfall have also been found.

Researchers of the Alta project in June 1998 near the islet of Anguilla Key (Kai Sal Bank) made a sensational discovery. They discovered an unusual structure in the form of an arc (“the arch of Anguilla”). It looks like an architectural entrance to a man-made cave. A row of stones located along one line is, as it were, a continuation of the arch. One of the pictures shows a channel between huge stones. These straight lines of stones are very reminiscent of the Bimini road.

What are the pyramids made of?

Egyptian pyramids still surprise researchers. At one time, al-Mamun (786-833), when opening one of the pyramids, discovered a statue of green stone and an emerald bowl. In our opinion, it was a symbolic image of Atlantis, and the bowl is the famous Antediluvian Grail. Historical sources claim that the Grail, once presented to the Buddha, comes from Egypt (c. 12000 BC), where it was kept as a symbol of the esoteric spiritual culture of antiquity. Napoleon saw, for example, in the Great Pyramid something that shocked him and struck him to the core of his soul. The great emperor never told anyone else about the meeting with the Unknown.

Recently, a very popular hypothesis is that the blocks on the Egyptian pyramids were made of special concrete, which then turned into a very hard rock. As you know, cement was invented only in the XIX century! From this concrete, not only pyramids were made, but also temples, monuments, huge statues. The researchers found in the pyramid the remains of the formwork into which the ancient Egyptians poured their "secret" solution. Maybe that's why scientists on the Biminsky shelf could not accurately determine the nature and age of the man-made road?

In the 1980s, Swiss chemistry professor Joseph Davidowitz first suggested that the blocks of the Cheops pyramid were made of concrete. One of the stelae of the 3rd dynasty allegedly contained even a recipe for making such concrete. A Swiss scientist identified 13 components of an ancient Egyptian recipe, patented it, and began commercial production. Most likely, for the "ancient cement" Egyptian craftsmen took crushed limestone with the addition of 5% limestone powder and 5% river silt.

A huge number of artifacts have accumulated in the world, proving the existence of pra-civilizations in ancient times, and it is simply unacceptable not to notice this. The finds of recent years prove that it is urgent to revise the chronological framework for the development of known civilizations. The recent discovery of giant pyramids in Peru pushes back the emergence of the culture of the ancient American peoples by several millennia. At present, the pyramids, except for the well-known ones in Egypt and Mexico, are open in all parts of the world: in North and South America, in England, the Crimea, on the Kola Peninsula, in Tibet, Morocco, Namibia, Mozambique, Australia, in the region of Bermuda and on the coast of Easter Island.

According to some reports, there are twelve "pyramid areas" that, being included in the overall system, ensure the existence and regulation of life on the planet. Here are the locations of the pyramids on earth: the eastern hemisphere - Egypt, Morocco, Namibia, Mozambique, England, Crimea, Tibet, Australia; western hemisphere - Bermuda region, Mexico, the central part of Brazil, the sea coast near Easter Island. The Eastern Hemisphere was inhabited much earlier than the Western. It is also possible that some similar pyramids were built on other planets. Built according to a single plan, the pyramids stabilized the movement of the Earth in orbit around the Sun, reducing the level of global cataclysms to local and harmless to mankind. There are not twelve such "pyramid areas" around the world, but there are many more. There are pyramids in Sudan, the Canary Islands and China. In recent years, pyramids have been found in Peru, and even in Nakhodka (Russia, Primorsky Krai).

The pyramid was powered by energy from the earth's core. It was the inner core that was the “eternal accumulator”, which for millions of years carried out the energy supply of the pyramidal structures. Thus, the pyramids were built in turn by representatives of the most ancient pracivilizations on Earth: Hyperboreans, Lemurians and Atlanteans! Each time, when some Root Race perished, the next one restored the pyramids destroyed by the most grandiose catastrophes and thus fulfilled its mission of guarding and protecting the Earth from natural disasters. This kind of pyramids existed at the “four corners of the world” and were never the monopoly of Egypt.

One of the underwater pyramids in the Bermuda Triangle was recorded in the 1990s by American oceanographers using sonar instruments. After processing the data, scientists suggested that the surface of the pyramid-shaped structure is perfectly smooth, perhaps glass! In size, it is almost three times the size of the pyramid of Cheops! According to the characteristics of the echoes reflected from its surface, the faces of the pyramid are composed of some mysterious material, similar to polished ceramics or glass. The famous atlantologist and explorer Charles Berlitz was sure that such a mountain is located at a depth of 400 meters, its height is 150 meters, and its base is about 200 meters. Unfortunately, C. Berlitz did not manage to conduct underwater research.

It remains to find records

Edgar Cayce at one time predicted that in one of the temples of Egypt a part of the special records for the Initiates of the time of Atlantis would be found (entry 5750-1 dated November 12, 1933). Casey wrote: “The time is coming big changes“.

In 1993, with the help of a caterpillar robot, a miniature stone plug or door was found at the end of the narrow ventilation duct of the Great Pyramid. The entrance hole is 20 by 25 centimeters. Copper pins are visible in the door. Scientists have suggested that a secret chamber is hidden behind a stone plug. Egyptian authorities immediately banned further research. One of the sects of adepts E. Casey declared that the prophecies of the great Teacher were coming true that the secret archive of the Great Priests from the lost Atlantis should be preserved in the pyramid. However, the chamber should be opened on the night of 2012.

At the end of the 20th century (1999), the Egyptian archaeologist Zahi Hawass discovered a vertical shaft between the pyramid of Cheops and the Great Sphinx. A burial chamber with a black granite sarcophagus was found at the bottom of the shaft. Hawass suggested that this was the tomb of Osiris and that sacred writings might be there.

In September 2002, American specialists, with the participation of the same Zaha Hawass, finally drilled through a stone plug. Behind her, they saw the same traffic jam. Two axes were found on the upper part of the second stone, which coincide with the copper inserts of the first stone, if you mentally draw a straight line. The editor of one of the atlantological journals, Dan Clark, suggests that the stones look like a miniature copy of some megalithic structure. The two axes of the second stone refer to the copper inserts of the first stone symbolically, for example, like two stars. Perhaps it has something to do with the Book of the Dead. The second stone, therefore, is, as it were, a door to heaven, and this door has its own door bolts to heaven - axes. Symbolically, such axes are the way to other worlds, but to which ones?

Epilogue

In his program article “Lords of Ogenon. Mythology of Atlantis” I consider two directions in the study of the problem of Atlantis: mythological and occult-esoteric. I managed to isolate from a great variety of myths and legends (primarily ancient Greek), those that directly point to Atlantis. If there was a legend about Atlantis, told by Plato, then it should have been passed down from generation to generation in the form of genealogical schemes, behind which stands the historical reality and the great-memory of mankind, hidden in the deepest layers of the “collective unconscious”. Most likely, it was the oldest pracivilization on Earth, the real name of which is known only to the Initiates. And it doesn't have to be called Atlantis.

Such well-known atlantologists as I. Donnelly, E. Sykes, S. Bellamy, L. Spence, L. Stegeni, L. Seidler, N. Zhirov, V. Shcherbakov and others repeatedly turned to Greek mythology (and not only Greek), seeing in it a direct indication of the marine (mainly “Poseidonian”) origin of the Atlanteans. But, unfortunately, they did not go further than such evidence, and could not unwind the most complex tangle of mythical genealogies, reveal the esoteric meaning and purpose of ancient traditions and legends.

The article identifies and deciphers the mythological and genealogical schemes and tables of gods, heroes and historical figures who were directly related to the kingdom of the Atlanteans and their hidden treasures. Among such persons: Sanchuniathon, Philolaus, Pherekides, Pythagoras, Socrates, Gelon of Syracuse, Pindar, Aristotle, Xenocrates, Xenophon, Theopompus, Cyrus, Cambyses, Mita (Midas), Alexander the Great, Nonn Panopolitansky, the Zeno brothers, Valery Bryusov, Apollinary Mikhailov , his son Mikhail Mikhailov and many others.

In the same article, for the first time, a place was established where the sacred relics of Hyperborea, Lemuria and Atlantis are hidden. According to folklore tradition, on one of the capes of the island of Crete, “the greatest treasures of antiquity” are hidden. Through historical and genealogical research, it was revealed connection sacred relics of Atlantis and other pracivilizations with Crete. The path to the ancient relics is closed - they are guarded by the golden dog of Zeus.

The culture of Atlantis, thus, having absorbed the culture of the perished civilizations of Hyperborea and Lemuria, transformed into a European one, and then into a global one (according to Donnelly). Therefore, for the majority of researchers and scientists, traces of the Atlanteans are not found, because they are among us, the people of the Fifth Race, for we came out of the Fourth Race of the Atlanteans.

From the colored pieces of the antediluvian heritage of the most ancient pracivilizations, a whole mosaic canvas called “Atlantis” is gradually being formed. It is only necessary to see this wonderful creation among the many pictures of human and earthly History.

II. Hyperborean.

This will be the name chosen for the second Continent; a country which extended its headlands south and west from the North Pole to receive the Second Race, and which contained all that is now known as Northern Asia. This was the name given by the ancient Greeks to the distant and mysterious region, where, according to their legend, Apollo of Hyperborean travels every year. Of course, astronomically Apollo is the Sun, he, leaving his Hellenic sanctuaries, liked to visit his distant country every year, where, as they said, "the sun never sets for half a year."

says the verse in "Odyssey"

But historically, or perhaps more accurately ethnographically and geologically, the meaning is different. The country of the Hyperboreans, the country that spread beyond Boreas, the god of the frozen heart, the god of snow and whirlwinds, who loves to doze on the Ripeus mountain range, was not an ideal, imaginary country, as the mythologists supposed, just as it was not a country next to Scythia and the Danube. It was a real mainland - a country bona fide, who knew no winter in those early days, just as her sad remains, even now, do not have more than one night and one day during the year. The shadows of the night never fall on her, the Greeks said; for this is the “Country of the Gods”, the beloved abode of Apollo, the God of Light, and its inhabitants are his most beloved clerics and servants. Now it can be seen as poetized fiction, but then it was poetized True.

III. Lemuria.

We propose to call the Third Continent Lemuria. The name is the invention or thought of R. L. Sclater, who between 1850 and 1860 asserted, on the basis of zoological data, the real existence in prehistoric times of a continent, which, as he argued, extended from Madagascar to Ceylon and Sumatra. This continent included some parts of what is now Africa; but the rest of this gigantic continent, which stretched from the Indian Ocean to Australia, has now completely disappeared under the waters of the Pacific Ocean, leaving here and there a few peaks of their tablelands, which now form islands.<…>

IV. Atlantis.

So we call the fourth Continent. It would be the first historical country if more attention was paid to the traditions of the Ancients than it has been done until now. The famous island of this name, mentioned by Plato, was only a remnant of this vast Continent.

V. Europe.

America was the Fifth Continent; but since it is located in the opposite hemisphere, it is usually Europe and Asia almost contemporary to it that are meant by the Indo-Aryan occultists as the fifth. If their teaching considered the appearance of the Continents in their geological and geographical order, then this classification would have to be changed. But as the succession of Continents is considered in the order of the evolution of the Races, from the First to the Fifth, of our Aryan Root-Race, Europe must be called the fifth great Continent. The Secret Doctrine does not take islands and peninsulas into consideration, nor does it follow the modern geographical distribution of land and seas. Since the earliest teachings and the destruction of the great Atlantis, the outlines of the Earth have changed more than once. There was a time when the Delta of Egypt and North Africa belonged to Europe, before the formation of the Strait of Gibraltar and the further uplift of the Mainland did not change the outline of the map of Europe at all. The last significant change took place about 12,000 years ago, followed by the sinking of a small island, mentioned by Plato and called by him Atlantis, after its main Continent. In ancient times, geography was part of the Mysteries. Zohar reads:

“These mysteries [about the land and seas] were revealed people who belonged to the secret science, but not geographers.

The assertion that physical man was originally a colossal giant of the pre-Tertiary period and that he existed 18,000,000 years ago must, of course, seem preposterous to all worshipers and believers in modern scholarship. Whole posse comitatus biologists would be disgusted by the idea of ​​this Titan of the Third Race of the Secondary Age, a being adapted to successfully fight the gigantic monsters of the air, seas and land of that time; also his forefathers, the ethereal prototypes of the Atlanteans, could not fear that which could not harm them. The modern anthropologist can laugh as much as he likes at our Titans, just as he laughs at the biblical Adam and as theologians laugh at the ape ancestor of the former. Occultists and their severe critics may be convinced that at the present time they have settled their accounts fairly well. The occult sciences, at any rate, assert less and give more than Darwin's anthropology or biblical theology.

Also, the Esoteric Chronology should not frighten anyone, for as far as numbers are concerned, the greatest contemporary authorities are as fickle and changeable as the waves of the Mediterranean. As for the duration of geological periods alone, all scientists of the member. Cor. Tot. are hopelessly on the high seas and jump with unusual ease from one million years to five hundred million, as will become evident repeatedly throughout this comparison.<…>

But the main point for us lies not in the agreement or divergence of naturalists regarding the length of geological periods, but, rather, in their surprisingly perfect agreement on one point, and, moreover, very important. They all agree that during the Miocene Age - a million or ten million years ago - Greenland and even Svalbard, the remnants of our second, or Hyperborean, Continent, "possessed an almost tropical climate." It was the Greeks who, until the time of Homer, preserved a vivid tradition about this “Land of the Eternal Sun”, where their Apollo traveled annually. Science tells us:

“During the Miocene period, Greenland (at 70° north latitude) developed luxuriant vegetation, yew-like trees, mahogany- sequoia beech, plane trees, willows, oaks, poplars, hazel, as well as magnolias and zamia, close to California species.

In short, Greenland had southern plants unknown in the northern zones.

And now the next natural question arises. If the Greeks, in the days of Homer, knew about the Hyperborean country, that is, about the blessed land, beyond the reach of Boreas, the God of winter and whirlwinds, about the ideal region that the later Greeks and their writers carefully tried to place outside Scythia, the country where the nights were short and the days long, and beyond it a country where the sun never set and palm trees grew in abundance - if they knew all this, then who told them this? In their day, and even centuries before them, Greenland, of course, must already have been covered with eternal snows, never melting ice, just as at the present time. Everyone is inclined to prove that the land of short nights and long days was Norway or Scandinavia, beyond which was the blessed land of eternal light and summer. In order for this to become known to the Greeks, the tradition had to reach them from another people, older than themselves, and who knew these climatic details, about which the Greeks themselves could not know anything. Even in our time, science suspects that beyond the polar seas, in the very circle of the Arctic Pole, there is a sea that never freezes, and an evergreen Continent. Archaic teachings, also Puranas for one who understands their allegories, contain the same statements. Therefore, this convincing probability is enough for us that during the Miocene Period of modern science, at a time when Greenland was an almost tropical country, a people now unknown to history lived on it.

Everything previously said was known to Plato and many others, but since no Initiate has the right to reveal and speak about what he knows, the following generations received only hints. The Greek philosopher, intending to instruct mankind, rather as a moralist than as a geographer and ethnologist or historian, collected the history of Atlantis, covering several million years, into one event, limited by him to a relatively small island 3000 stadia long and 2000 wide (or about 350 miles by 200 miles, which is approximately the size of Ireland), while the priests spoke of Atlantis as a continent the size of "the whole of Asia and Libya" combined. But Plato's narrative, however altered in its general features, nevertheless bears the stamp of truth. In any case, he did not invent it, for Homer, who preceded him by several centuries, also speaks in his Odyssey about the Atlanteans - which are our Atlanteans - and their islands. Therefore the tradition is older than the bard Ulysses. Atlantis and Atlantis in mythology are based on the Atlanteans and Atlantis of history. Both San Juniathon and Diodorus preserved the narratives of these heroes and heroines, although their narratives may have been tainted with some mythical element.

In our age we are witnessing the extraordinary fact that such relatively recent personalities as Shakespeare and William Tell are almost denied and attempts are made to show that the former is only sweat de plume and the second is a person who never existed. Is it surprising then that two powerful races - the Lemurians and the Atlanteans - were merged over time and identified with several semi-mythical peoples who bore the same generic name.

Herodotus speaks of the Atlanteans - the people of West Africa - who gave their name to Mount Atlas, who were vegetarians and "whose sleep was never disturbed by dreams", and who, in addition, "cursed the sun daily at its rising and setting, for its excessive heat scorched and caused them pain."

These claims are based on moral and psychic facts, not on physiological disorders. The history of Atlas provides a clue to this. If the sleep of the Atlanteans was never disturbed by dreams, it is because this particular tradition refers to the earliest Atlanteans, whose physical structure and brain were not yet sufficiently condensed in a physiological sense to allow the nerve centers to act during sleep. As for the other statement, that they daily "cursed the sun," this, again, has nothing to do with fever, but refers to the moral degeneration which has developed in this Race. This is explained in our Comments: "They [the sixth sub-race of the Atlanteans] used magic spells even against the sun" not being successful in this, they cursed him. The sorcerers in Thessaly were credited with the power to bring the moon to earth, as Greek history assures us. The Atlanteans of the later period were famous for their magical powers and their depravity, ambition and daring challenge against the Gods. Hence the same traditions, framed in bible and relating to the antediluvian giants and the Tower of Babel, and also found in Book of Enoch.

Diodorus gives one or two more facts. The Atlanteans boasted that they owned the earth on which all the Gods were born, also that they had Uranus as their first King and he was their first teacher in astronomy. In addition, very little has come down to us from Antiquity.

The myth of the Atlas is a very understandable allegory. The Atlas represents the ancient Continents of Lemuria and Atlantis, united and personified in one symbol. Poets attribute to Atlas, as well as to Prometheus, the highest wisdom and universal knowledge, and especially comprehensive knowledge of the depths of the ocean; for both Continents were inhabited by Races instructed by divine Masters, and both were transferred to the bottom of the seas, where they now lie dormant until the time of their next appearance above the waters. Atlas is the son of an ocean nymph, and his daughter Calypso is "the abyss of water." Atlantis was swallowed up by the waters of the ocean, at the bottom of which her offspring sleeps in eternal sleep. Odyssey makes Atlas the guardian and "holder" of the huge pillars separating Heaven from Earth. He is their "holder".<…>

This idea, of course, owed its origin to the gigantic mountain range that runs along the earth's boundary or disk. These mountain peaks sank their roots into the very depths of the seas, while their heads were lifted up, for their peaks were lost in the clouds. On the ancient Continents there were more mountains than valleys. Atlas and Tenerife, now two dwarf relics of two lost continents, were thrice as high in the time of Lemuria and twice as high in the time of Atlantis. Thus, according to Herodotus, the inhabitants of Libya called the top of the Atlas the "Pillar of Heaven", and Pindar called the later Etna the "Pillar of Heaven". In the days of Lemuria, when the African continent had not yet been raised, Atlas was an impregnable island. It is the only western relic that belonged to the mainland on which the Third Race was born, developed and fell, surviving as independent, for present Australia is part of the Eastern Continent. According to Esoteric tradition, the proud Atlas plunged one third of its size into the depths of the waters, while the other two parts of it remained as a legacy of Atlantis.

This, again, was known to the priests of Egypt and to Plato himself, and only a solemn oath of secrecy, which extended even to the mysteries of the Neoplatonists, prevented the disclosure of the whole truth. Indeed, so secret was the knowledge of the last island of Atlantis - thanks to those superhuman powers possessed by its inhabitants, the last direct descendants of the Gods or Divine Kings, as it was thought - that the disclosure of its location and existence was punishable by death. Theopompius states the same in his work meropis, when he speaks of the Phoenicians as the only navigators in the waters that washed the western coast of Africa, who did this with such secrecy that very often they themselves sank their own ships in order to destroy all traces of them for overly inquisitive strangers.<…>

Often Atlantis is mentioned under a different name, unknown to our interpreters. The power of names great, and this has been known since the time when the first people were instructed by Divine Teachers. And since Solon studied this, he translated the names of the "Atlanteans" into names invented by himself. In connection with the mainland of Atlantis, it is desirable to bear in mind that the narratives that have come down to us from the ancient Greek writers contain mixed statements, some referring to the large Continent, and others to the last, small island of Poseidonis. It has become customary to take them all as referring only to the latter, but the incorrectness of this becomes apparent due to the inconsistency of various statements about the size, etc. of "Atlantis".

Yes, in his "Critias" Plato says that the plain surrounding the city was itself surrounded by mountain ranges, and that this plain was of an even and elongated shape, extending north and south three thousand stades in one direction and two thousand in the other; the plain was surrounded by a great canal or ditch, 101 feet deep and 606 feet wide and 1,250 miles long.

So, elsewhere all sizes islands Poseidonis are given approximately the same as those attributed here only "plain around the city". Obviously, some statements refer to the large Continent, while others to its last remnant - the island mentioned by Plato.

Further, the standing army of Atlantis is described as exceeding a million men; her sea power consisted of 1,200 ships and 240,000 men. Such statements are completely inapplicable to a small island, a state, approximately the size of Ireland!

Greek allegories endow Atlas or Atlantis with seven daughters - seven sub-races - whose respective names are as follows: Maia, Electra, Taygeta, Asterope, Merope, Alcyone and Seleno. This is ethnological - for marriage with the Gods is attributed to them and, thus, they became the mothers of famous heroes, the founders of many peoples and cities. Astronomically, Atlantis became the seven Pleiades (?). In Occult Science, these two points of view are connected with the destinies of peoples, and these destinies, according to the law of Karma, took shape as a consequence of past events in their former lives.

Three great peoples of antiquity, several thousand years before our era, asserted their direct origin from the kingdom of Saturn or Lemuria, mixed with Atlantis; these peoples were the Egyptians, the Phoenicians (Sanchuniathon) and the ancient Greeks (Diodorus after Plato). But the oldest civilized country in Asia - India - can also lay claim to the same origin. Subras, guided by Karmic law or fate, unconsciously repeat the first steps of their respective mother races. Just as the comparatively light-skinned Brahmins - in their invasion of India with her dark-skinned Dravidians - came from the North, so the Aryan, Fifth Race must assert its origin from the Northern regions. Occult Science proves that all the founders, the respective groups of the seven Prajapati Root Races, are all connected with the North Star. In the Comments we find:

"He who knows the age of Dhruva, who measures 9090 death years, will understand the times of Pralaya, the final destiny of the peoples, O Lanu."

In addition, there must have been a good reason why the Asiatic people placed their great Ancestors in Ursa Major, in the northern constellation. However, 70,000 years have passed since since the Pole of the Earth began to point to the far end of the tail of Ursa Minor; and still more thousands of years have passed since the seven Rishis could be identified with the constellation Ursa Major.

The Aryan Race was born and developed in the far north, although after the sinking of the mainland of Atlantis, its tribes moved further south, into Asia. Therefore, Prometheus is also the son of Asia, and Deucalion, his son, the Greek Noah - the one who created people from the stones of the mother Earth - is called the northern Scythian by Lucian, and Prometheus is made the brother of Atlas and chained to the mountain of the Caucasus among the snows.

Greece also had its Hyperborean Apollo, as well as southern. Thus almost all the Gods of Egypt, Greece, and Phoenicia, as well as the gods of the other Pantheons, were of northern origin and originated in Lemuria towards the end of the Third Race, after its complete physical and physiological evolution had ended. All the "fables" of Greece, if only their history had been passed on to posterity without the admixture of a mythical element, would have turned out to be built on historical facts. The "one-eyed Cyclopes," the giants whom legend describes as the sons of Caelus and Terra - three in number, according to Hesiod - were the last three sub-races of the Lemurians, the expression "one-eyed" referring to the eye-wisdom; for the two front eyes were only fully developed as physical organs at the beginning of the Fourth Race. The allegory about Ulysses, whose companions were devoured, while the king of Ithaca himself was saved by burning out the eye of Polyphemus with a burning brand, is based on the psychophysiological atrophy of the "third eye". Ulysses belongs to the cycle of heroes of the Fourth Race, and although he was a "Sage" in the eyes of the latter, he must have been a villain in the opinion of the shepherd tribe of the Cyclopes. His adventures among the latter - a savage giant race, the antithesis of a cultural civilization in the Odyssey - is an allegorical record of the gradual transition from the Cyclopean civilization of stone and colossal buildings, to the more sensual and physical culture of the Atlanteans, which finally led the Third Race to her loss of the all-pervading spiritual eyes. Another allegory representing Apollo killing the Cyclopes in order to avenge the death of his son Asclepius does not refer to the three sub-races represented by the three sons of Heaven and Earth, but to the Hyperborean Arimaspian Cyclopes, the last of the race endowed with the "eye of wisdom". The former everywhere left the remains of their constructions in the South, as well as in the North; the latter limited themselves only to the North. Thus, Apollo - mainly the God of clairvoyants, whose duty is to punish sacrilege, killed them - his arrows represent human passions, fiery and deadly - then he hid his arrows behind a mountain in the Hyperborean region. Cosmically and astronomically, this Hyperborean God is the personified Sun, who during the sidereal Year - 25,868 years - changes the climates on the earth's surface, turning the freezing regions into tropical and back. Mentally and spiritually, its significance is much greater.<…>

The history of Latona (Leto), the mother of Apollo, is particularly rich in various meanings. Astronomically, Latona is the polar region and the night giving birth to the sun, Apollo, Phoebus, and so on. She was born in the Hyperborean countries, where all the inhabitants were priests of her Son, celebrating his resurrection and descent into their country every 19 years at the resumption of the lunar cycle. Geologically, Latona is the Hyperborean Continent and its Race.

When astronomical meaning gives way to spiritual and divine meaning - Apollo and Athena transform and take the form of "birds", a symbol and glyph of higher deities and angels - then the Light God takes on divine creative forces. Apollo becomes the personification of clairvoyance when he sends the astral double of Aeneas to the battlefield, he also has the gift of appearing to his clairvoyants without being seen by other persons present, a gift that belongs, however, to every high Adept.

The King of the Hyperboreans was thus the son of Boreas, the North Wind, and the High Priest of Apollo. The quarrel between Latona and Niobe - the Atlantean Race - the mother of seven sons and seven daughters, personifying the seven sub-races of the Fourth Race and their seven offshoots, is an allegorical story of the two Continents. The anger of the "Sons of God" or "Will and Yoga" at the sight of the steady fall of the Atlanteans was great; the destruction of the children of Niobe by the children of Latona - by Apollo and Diana, the Deities of light, wisdom and purity, or by the Sun and Moon astronomically, the influence of which produces changes in the position of the earth's axis, floods and other cosmic cataclysms - is thus very clear. The legend of the never-ending tears of Niobe, whose grief causes Zeus to turn it into a source - Atlantis covered with water - is no less pictorial as a symbol. Let us remember that Niobe is the daughter of one of the Pleiades, or Atlantis, and therefore the granddaughter of Atlas, for she personifies the last generations of the condemned Continent. Bayi's remark is correct when he says that Atlantis had a great influence on the ancient world. He adds:

“If these mythical names are mere allegories, then everything that is true in them came from Atlantis; if the legend is a true tradition - even if it is changed - then all ancient history is their history.

This is so true that all ancient writings - prose and poetry - are full of memories of the Lemuro-Atlanteans, the first physical races, although the Third and Fourth in the order of evolution of Humanity of the Fourth Circle of our globe. Hesiod recorded the legend of the people of the Bronze Age, created by Jupiter from ash wood and who had a heart harder than diamond. Clad in bronze from head to toe, they spent their lives in battle. They were monstrous in size, endowed with terrifying strength, invincible armor and arms descending from their shoulders, says the poet. Such were the giants of the first physical races.

Iranians have a link to the last Atlanteans in clear, IX, 15. Tradition states that the "Sons of God", or the great Initiates of the Sacred Isle, took advantage of the Flood to cleanse the Earth of all sorcerers among the Atlanteans. This verse is addressed to Zarathustra as one of the "Sons of God". It says:

"You, O Zarathustra, caused all the demons [sorcerers] who used to wander the world in human forms to hide under the earth [helped them sink under the water]."

The Lemurians, as well as the early Atlanteans, were divided into two definite classes, groups - the "Sons of the Night" or Darkness, and the "Sons of the Sun" or Light. Ancient books tell of horrendous battles between these two groups, when the former, having left their land of Darkness, from where the sun had gone for long months, descended from their inhospitable regions and "tried to win back the Lord of Light" from their more fortunate brothers who lived in the equatorial countries. We may be told that the ancients knew nothing of the long night, lasting six months, in the polar regions. Even Herodotus, more enlightened than the rest, only mentions a people who were put to sleep for six months of the year and remained awake for the other half. Nevertheless, the Greeks knew well that there was a country in the North, where the year was divided into day and night, six months each, for Pliny speaks of this quite definitely. They speak of the Simmerians and the Hyperboreans, making a distinction between them. The first inhabited the Palus Maeotis - between 45 and 50 degrees [North] latitude. Plutarch explains that they were only a small part of a great people, persecuted by the Scythians - the people who stopped near Tanais, after as they traveled through Asia.

“These warlike multitudes used to live on the shores of the ocean in impenetrable forests under the twilight sky. There the pole almost touched the head, there long nights and days divide the year".

As for the Hyperboreans, these people, as Solinus Polyhistor expresses himself about them:

"They sowed in the morning, reaped at noon and gathered the fruits in the evening and kept them during the night in their caves."

Even writers Zohar were aware of this fact, for it is written:

“In the book of Hammannun, the Old [or Ancient], we learn… there are some countries on Earth that are illuminated, while others are plunged into darkness; some have day when others have night; and there are countries in which it is constantly day, or where night, at least, lasts only a few moments.

The island of Delos, the Asteria of Greek mythology, was never in Greece, for that country did not yet exist at that time, even in its molecular form. Several writers have shown that she represented a country or island much larger than the small points of the Earth that became Greece. Pliny and Diodorus both place it in the North Seas. One calls her Basilea, or "Royal", another, Pliny, calls it Ozerikta, a word that, according to Rudbeck, had "in northern languages ​​a meaning equivalent to the Island of divine Kings or God-Kings ..." or "Royal Island of the Gods", for the Gods were born on it, that is, the Divine Dynasties of the Kings of Atlantis came from this place. Let geographers and geologists look for him among the group of islands discovered by Nordenskiold on his Vega during his journey in the Arctic regions. The Hidden Books tell us that the climate has changed in these areas more than once, since the first man lived in these now almost inaccessible latitudes. They were heaven before becoming hell; the dark Hades of the Greeks and the cold Kingdom of Shadows, where the Scandinavian Hel, Goddess-Queen of the land of the dead, "reigns in the depths of Helheim and Niflheim." Nevertheless, it was the birthplace of Apollo, the most effulgent among the Gods in Heaven - astronomically - just as in his human sense he was the most enlightened of the Divine Kings who ruled the early peoples. The latter fact is clearly stated in the Iliad, where it is said that Apollo appeared four times in his form (as the God of the four Races) and six times in human form, that is, as connected with the Divine Dynasties, the first undivided Lemurians.

It was these early, mysterious peoples, their countries - now uninhabited - as well as the name given to "man", both dead and living, that made it possible for the ignorant church fathers to invent Hell, which they turned into a scorching place instead of freezing.

Of course, it is self-evident that neither the Hyperboreans, nor the Simmerians, the Arimaspians, nor even the Scythians - known to the Greeks and even communicating with them - were our Atlanteans. But they are all descended from their last sub-races. The Pelasgians were undoubtedly one of the root races of the future Greece and were themselves the last descendants of one sub-race of Atlantis. Plato alludes to this when speaking of the latter, whose name, it is said, comes from Pelagus which means "great sea". Noah's flood is astronomical and allegorical, but not mythical, for this narrative is based on the same tradition of people - or, rather, peoples - who escaped during the cataclysms in canoes, arks and ships. No one dares to say that Xisuphr of the Chaldeans, Vaivasvata of the Hindus, Peyrun of the Chinese - "Beloved of the Gods" who saved him from the flood in the canoe - or Belgamer of the Swedes, for whom the Gods did the same in the North, that they are all identical as individuals. But all the legends about them arose in connection with the catastrophe that captured both the Mainland and the islands of Atlantis. The allegory about the antediluvian giants and their achievements in sorcery is not a myth. Biblical Events Really are revelations. But only these revelations were not communicated either through the Voice of God among the thunder and lightning on Mount Sinai, or through the divine finger inscribed on stone tablets, but simply through traditions taken from pagan sources. Certainly not from Pentateuch repeated Diodorus when he wrote of the Titans - giants born of Heaven and Earth, or rather born of the Sons of God, who were combined with the daughters of men, for they were beautiful. Just like Feresid did not quote from books of Genesis, when he gave details about these giants not found in the Hebrew Scriptures. He says that the Hyperboreans belonged to the race of the Titans, a race that was the descendants of the earliest giants, and that it was the Hyperborean region that was the birthplace of the first giants. The interpretations of the Holy Books explain that the area indicated was the far North (now the polar countries), the Pre-Lemurian early Continent, which once included present-day Greenland, Svalbard, Sweden and Norway, and so on.

But who were the Nephilim in Genesis(VI, 4)? There were Paleolithic and Neolithic people in Palestine many centuries before the events recorded in the Book of Beginnings. Theological tradition identifies these Nephilim with hairy men or satyrs, the latter being mythical beings in the Fifth Race, but the former being historical in both the Fourth and Fifth Races. Elsewhere we have already explained who were the prototypes of these satyrs, and spoke of the animality of the early and later Atlantean Race. What is the meaning of Poseidon's love affairs under such a variety animals forms? He turned into a dolphin to possess Amphitrite; into a horse to seduce Ceres; into Aries to deceive Theophan, etc. Poseidon is not only the personification of the spirit and race of the Atlanteans, but also the vices of these giants. Gesenius and other writers devote much space to describing the meaning of the word "Nephilim" but explain very little. But the Esoteric Records present these hairy beings as the last descendants of those Lemuro-Atlantean Races who begat children from female animals of a long-extinct species; thus dumb people were begotten, "monsters," to use the expression used in the Stanzas.

So the mythology based on "Theogony" Hesiod, which is only a poeticized record of actual legends or stories transmitted orally, speaks of three giants called Briares, Kottus and Gyges, who lived in the land of darkness, where they were imprisoned by Kronos for rebelling against him. In myth, all three are endowed with a hundred hands and fifty heads, the latter depicting races, the first sub-races and tribes. Bearing in mind that in mythology every person is almost a God or a demigod and also a king or a mere mortal in his second aspect, and that in both cases they stand as symbols of countries, islands, forces in nature, elements, peoples, races and sub-races, the Esoteric interpretation becomes clear. It says that the three giants are three polar countries, which have changed several times with each new cataclysm or the disappearance of one continent, giving way to another. The whole Planet is undergoing periodical convulsions and has been so shaken four times since the advent of the First Race. Nevertheless, although the entire surface of the Earth was transformed each time, the configuration of the Arctic and Antarctic poles changed very little. The polar lands are connected or separated from each other into islands and peninsulas, but always remaining the same. Therefore, North Asia is called "Eternal and Permanent Earth", and the Antarctic Pole - "Eternally Living" and "Hidden"; while the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Pacific, and other regions in turn disappear and reappear over the Great Waters.

Since the first appearance of the great Continent of Lemuria, the three polar giants have been imprisoned by Kronos in their circle. Their prison is surrounded by a wall of bronze, and the exit is through the gates made by Poseidon - or Neptune - therefore, through the seas, which they cannot cross; and it is in this damp region, where eternal darkness reigns, that the three brothers languish. Iliad calls her Tartarus. When the Gods and Titans rebelled, in turn, against Zeus, the deity of the Fourth Race, the Father of the Gods himself remembered the imprisoned giants who could help him conquer the Gods and Titans and overthrow the latter into Hades; or, more plainly, to cast down Lemuria amidst thunder and lightning to the bottom of the seas, in order to make room for Atlantis, which in turn was to be submerged and perish. The geological uplift and flood of Thessaly was a repetition on a small scale of the great catastrophe; and it remained imprinted in the memory of the Greeks and merged with the common fate of Atlantis. Just like the war between the Rakshasas of Lanka and the Bharatas, mixed representatives of the Atlanteans and Aryans, in their bitter struggle, or the clash between the Devas and the Iseds or Peri, became in later ages the struggle of the Titans, divided into two hostile camps, and even later the battle of the Angels of God with the Angels of Satan. Historical facts have become theological dogmas. Ambitious scholiasts, people of a small sub-race, born only yesterday, and one of the last offshoots of the Aryan group, took it upon themselves to turn the religious thought of the world and achieved their goal. For nearly two thousand years, they have inspired thinking humanity to believe in the existence of Satan.

But since many scientists are now convinced - just as Bailly and Voltaire were - that Theogony Hesiod was based on historical facts, it becomes easier for the Occult Teachings to make their way into the minds of thinking people, and that is why these places of their mythology are given by us in our discussions of modern knowledge in this Addenda.

Symbols such as those found in all exoteric beliefs are but numerous milestones leading to prehistoric truths. The sunny, happy country, the primitive cradle of the early human races, has more than once since become Hyperborean and Saturnine, thus showing the Golden Age and the Kingdom of Saturn under various aspects. Indeed, it was multifaceted in its character - climatically, ethnologically and morally. For the Third Lemurian Race must be physiologically divided into an early androgynous race and a later bisexual race; and the climate of its inhabited regions and continents was divided into eternal spring and eternal winter, life and death, purity and depravity. The cycle of legends, as it passes through time, is constantly transformed by folk fantasy. Nevertheless, he can be cleansed of the dross he has picked up on his way through many nations and through countless minds who have added their own fabrications to the original facts. Leaving Greek interpretations for a while, we can look for even greater confirmation of the latter in scientific and geological evidence.

Our Atlantean ancestors differed from modern man much more than anyone who, in his knowledge, is completely limited to the sensible world, can imagine. This difference concerns not only appearance, but also spiritual abilities. Their knowledge and their technical arts, their whole culture was not like what can be observed in our time. If we turn to the first times of Atlantean humanity, we find there spiritual faculties quite different from ours. Logical reason, the ability to calculate, on which everything that we now produce is based, was completely absent among the first Atlanteans. But they had a very developed memory. This memory was one of those most distinctive spiritual abilities. They thought, for example, differently than we do, accepting certain rules and then applying them. The multiplication table was something completely unknown in early Atlantean times. No one proved to his reason that three times four is twelve. And the fact that the Atlantean was able to cope with such a calculation when he needed it is due to the fact that he recalled the same similar cases. He recalled how it had happened before in such circumstances. It must be remembered that every time a new faculty develops in any being, the former begins to lose strength and sharpness; modern man has the advantage over the Atlantean that he has a logical mind and the ability to judge. But he lost his memory. Now people think in terms; Atlantean thought in images. And when any image arose in his soul, he recalled many other similar images that he had experienced before.

This guided him in his judgment. Therefore, teaching was then different than in later times. It did not seek to arm the child with rules or refine his mind. The child was taught life by means of visual images, so that when he subsequently had to act under certain conditions, he could already use a large store of memories. When a child grew up and entered into life, before committing any act, he could remember that something similar had already been shown to him during his teaching. The easiest way for him to understand was when the new case was similar to some other he had already seen. Getting into completely different conditions, the Atlantean was always forced to act at random, while modern man is in much more favorable conditions in this respect, because he is armed with rules and can easily apply them in cases that he has not yet encountered. Such a system of education gave the whole life an imprint of homogeneity. For a very long time everything went on in the same monotonous order. Faithful memory did not allow anything even remotely resembling the speed of our modern progress. The Atlanteans did what they had "seen" before. They did not invent anything, they only remembered. The authority was not the one who studied a lot, but who experienced a lot and could therefore remember a lot. In the Atlantean era it was impossible that the decision of any important question should be left to a person who had not yet reached a certain age. They only trusted someone who could look back on years of experience. What is said here does not apply to initiates and their schools. For they are always ahead of the level of development of their era. And admission to such schools does not depend on age, but on whether a given person in his previous incarnations acquired the ability to perceive higher wisdom. The confidence given in the Atlantean age to initiates and their representatives was not based on the richness of their personal experience, but on the antiquity of their wisdom. With the initiate, personality ceases to matter. He gives himself entirely to the service of eternal wisdom. Therefore, it cannot be summed up under the characteristics of any particular era.

So, while the Atlanteans (especially of the earlier period) lacked the logical power of thinking, a highly developed memory gave their special character to all activities. But with the essence of one of the human forces, others are always connected. Memory stands closer to the deep natural basis of man than the power of reason, and in connection with it some other powers were developed, which had a greater resemblance to the forces of lower natural beings than the human powers that are now active. Thus, the Atlanteans had power over what is called the life force. Just as now the power of heat is extracted from coal, which is turned into the driving force of our means of communication, so the Atlanteans knew how to use the seed power of living beings for their technical purposes. We can form an idea of ​​how this happened in the following way. Imagine a grain of bread. There is a dormant power in it, the same one, thanks to which a stalk sprouts from a grain. Nature can awaken this force resting in the grain. Modern man cannot do this of his own free will. He must plunge the grain into the earth and leave its awakening to the forces of nature. But Atlanta had access to something else. He knew how to transform the power contained in a heap of grains into a technical force, just as modern man is able to transform the thermal force contained in a heap of coal into a motor force. In the Atlantean era, plants were grown not only for food, but also to use the forces dormant in them for the purposes of industry and means of communication. Just as we have devices for converting the power dormant in coal into the driving force of our steam locomotives, so the Atlanteans had devices that they, so to speak, heated with plant seeds and in which the vital force was converted into a technically applicable force. Thus, Atlantis set in motion his wagons, which were carried at a slight height above the ground. The height at which these wagons moved was less than the height of the mountains of the Atlantean era, and they had steering devices with which they could cross these mountains.

It must be imagined that in the course of time all the conditions on our Earth have changed greatly. These Atlantean vehicles would be completely unusable in our time. Their use was based on the fact that at that time the air envelope that enveloped the Earth was much denser than it is now. We should not be concerned here with the question whether it is possible, according to modern scientific concepts, to imagine such a large density of air. Science and logical thinking, by their very nature, can never decide anything about what is possible and what is impossible. They only have to explain what has been established by experience and observation. And for occult experience the said density of air is as firmly established as any fact of our sense experience can be established.

Equally unshakable is the fact, perhaps even more incomprehensible to modern physics and chemistry, that in this era the water on the entire Earth was much more liquid than it is now. Thanks to this property, water could be controlled with the help of seminal energy used by the Atlanteans for technical purposes that are impossible in our time. Owing to the compaction of the water, it is now impossible to control and move it as skilfully as in former times. From this it is clear that the civilization of the Atlantean era was fundamentally different from ours, and it will also be quite understandable that the physical nature of Atlanta was completely different from the nature of modern man. Atlas used water, which could be processed by the vital force inherent in his body in a completely different way than it can happen in a modern physical body. As a result, the Atlantean could use his physical powers at will in a completely different way than modern man. When he needed his physical powers, he had, so to speak, the means to increase them in himself. We will only form a correct idea of ​​the Atlanteans if we take into account that they also had completely different ideas about fatigue and waste of strength than today's people.

The Atlantic village, as follows from all of the above, had a character that in no way resembled a modern city. In such a village, everything was still in union with nature. We will get only a very faint resemblance by saying that in the early Atlantean times - until about the middle of the third sub-race - the village was like a garden in which houses were built of trees with branches artfully intertwined. What the human hand created then, as it were, grew out of nature. And the man himself felt entirely in kinship with her. Therefore, his sense of publicity was still completely different than it is now. After all, nature belongs to all people, and everything that the Atlantean created was based on nature, and he considered it a common property in the same way that modern man quite naturally considers what he produces with the help of his reason and ingenuity as his private property.

Whoever has become accustomed to the idea that the Atlanteans possessed such physical and spiritual powers as they are described above will understand that in even more distant times humanity showed an image that only very little resembles that which we are accustomed to see now. Not only people, but also the nature surrounding them has changed a lot over time. Plant and animal forms have become different. All earthly nature has gone through a series of changes. The once-inhabited regions of the Earth have undergone destruction; new ones have appeared.

The forerunners of the Atlanteans lived on the mainland that has now disappeared, the main part of which lay south of present-day Asia. In Theosophical writings they are called Lemurians. After passing through various stages of development, most of them fell into decay. They have degenerated, and their descendants still continue to inhabit certain areas of our Earth as so-called savage peoples. Only a small part of the Lemurian humanity was capable of further development. From it came the Atlanteans. Later, something similar happened again. The majority of the Atlantean population has declined, and from the small remaining part have come the so-called Aryans, to whom our modern civilized humanity belongs. According to the nomenclature of spiritual science, the Lemurians, Atlanteans and Aryans constitute the so-called root races of mankind. If we imagine two more of the same root races that preceded the Lemurians, and two that will follow the Aryans in the future, then in total there will be seven races. One race constantly arises from another, in the same way as has just been indicated with regard to the Lemurians, Atlanteans, and Aryans. And each root race has physical and spiritual properties that are completely different from those of the previous race. Whereas, for example, the Atlanteans primarily developed memory and everything connected with it, the Aryans at the present time have to develop the power of thinking and everything related to it.

But even within each root race, different stages must be passed. And these steps are again seven. At the beginning of the period of time occupied by such a root-race, the main properties of this race are, as it were, in a state of youth; gradually they reach maturity and finally decline. In this way the population of the root race is further subdivided into seven sub-races. But it must not be imagined that the development of a new sub-race is accompanied by the immediate disappearance of the old one. Each sub-race continues to exist long after the others have developed along with it. Thus, the Earth is always inhabited jointly by inhabitants representing different stages of development.

The first sub-race of the Atlanteans originated from a part of the Lemurians, who were very ahead of their contemporaries and capable of further development. With the latter, the gift of memory was only in its infancy and appeared only in the last period of their development. One must imagine that the Lemurian, although he could form ideas about his experiences, did not know how to preserve them. He immediately forgot what he imagined. And the fact that he nevertheless lived among a certain culture, had, for example, tools, erected buildings, etc., he owed this not to his own ability to imagine, but to some instinctive spiritual force that lived in him, so to speak. Only by this word one must understand not the present instinct of animals, but an instinct of a different kind.

The first sub-race of the Atlanteans is called Rmoagals in Theosophical writings. The memory of this race was chiefly directed to vivid impressions of the sense organs. The colors that the eye saw, the sounds that the ear heard, continued to live in the soul for a long time. This resulted in the Rmoagals developing senses that their Lemurian ancestors did not know. Such feelings include, for example, attachment to what was experienced in the past.

The development of speech was also associated with the development of memory. As long as a person did not keep the past in his memory, he could not communicate what he experienced with the help of speech. And since the first rudiments of memory appeared at the end of the Lemurian period, the ability to name what was seen and heard could begin to develop at the same time. Names of things are needed only for those who have the ability to remember. Therefore, the development of speech belongs to the Atlantean period. And along with speech, a connection was established between the human soul and external objects. Man has generated within himself a sound word; and this sound word belonged to the objects of the external world. Communication through speech also creates a new connection between people. All this was among the Rmoagals, however, still in its infancy; but this already radically distinguished them from their Lemurian ancestors.

The forces that lived in the souls of these first Atlanteans still had something in common with natural power. These people were still to some extent more related to the natural beings around them than their descendants. Their mental strengths were even more natural forces than the spiritual strengths of modern people. Therefore, the sound word generated by them possessed natural power. They not only gave names to things, but their words contained power over things, as well as over their fellows - people. The word among the Rmoagals had not only meaning, but also power. When one speaks of the magical power of words, they mean by this something much more real for these people than for our modern times. When the rmoagal uttered a word, it developed the same strength as the object itself, designated by this word. This explains that in that era words had a healing power, that they could promote the growth of plants, tame the fury of animals, and produce all sorts of other similar actions. All these faculties diminished more and more in the later Atlantean sub-races. We can say that the fullness of natural power was gradually lost. The Rmoagals felt it entirely as a gift from a powerful nature; and this attitude towards nature bore a religious character with them. Speech in particular was sacred to them. And the abuse of the pronunciation of certain sounds, which had considerable power, was something impossible. Every man felt that such an abuse would do him great harm. The magic power of such words would be reversed; rightly applied, they could bring good, but they would turn to the destruction of the one who applied them lawlessly. In a certain innocence of feeling, the Rmoagals attributed their power not so much to themselves, but to the divine nature acting in them.

All this changed in the era of the second sub-race (the so-called Tlavatl). People of this race began to feel their personal value. Ambition arises in them, a quality still completely unfamiliar to Rmoagals. The recollection begins, in a certain sense, to influence their perception of life together. Whoever could look back on some exploits, he demanded recognition from his brethren for this, demanded that his deeds be kept in memory. The election of a leader by some close-knit group of people was also based on this memory of exploits. A kind of royal dignity developed. This recognition continued even after the death of the leader. There was a remembrance of the ancestors and veneration of their memory, as well as all those who marked themselves in life with some kind of merit. Hence, in some individual tribes, a special kind of religious veneration of the dead, the cult of ancestors, subsequently developed. It continued into much later times and took on a variety of forms. Even among the Rmoagals, a person had in the eyes of others, in fact, only that weight that he could justify at a given moment by the manifestation of the fullness of his power. If someone demanded recognition for himself for what he had done in the past, he had to prove by new exploits that his former strength was still inherent in him. He had to evoke in some way the old ones by new deeds. What he had done had no meaning as such. Only the second sub-race began to take into account the personal character of the individual to such an extent that, in assessing him, he began to take into account his past life.

The development of memory influenced life together in yet another way: groups of people began to form, connected with each other by the memory of common deeds. Previously, such formation of groups depended entirely on natural forces, on a common origin. Man, by his own spirit, has not yet added anything to what nature has made of him. Now, however, some powerful person gathered around him a group of people for a common enterprise, and the memory of such a common cause made up the social group.

This form of social life was fully revealed only among the third sub-race (among the Toltecs). Therefore, the people of this race first laid the foundation for what can already be called a public and a kind of formation of the state. Management, leadership of these communities passed from ancestors to descendants. What used to live in the memory of people, the father now began to transfer to his son. The deeds of the ancestors should be remembered to the whole family. The descendants still continued to appreciate the perfect ancestor. It is only necessary to keep in mind that in those days people really had the power to transfer their talents to their descendants. All education was aimed at presenting life in visual images. And the effect of such education was based on personal power emanating from the educator. He refined not the power of reason, but other talents, of a more instinctive nature. With such a system of education, the abilities of the father did, in most cases, pass to the son.

Under such conditions, in the third sub-race, personal experience began to take on more and more importance. When one group of people separated from another, then, in founding a new community, it brought with it a vivid memory of what had been experienced in the previous conditions. But at the same time, there was something in this memory that did not satisfy this community, which caused its discontent. And in this respect, she was then trying to found something new. And so, with each new foundation, conditions improved. And it is quite natural that the best caused imitation. These are the facts that formed the basis of that flourishing of communities in the era of the third sub-race, which is described in theosophical literature. And the personal experiments that were carried out always found support from those who were initiated into the eternal laws of spiritual development.

Powerful rulers themselves received initiation in order to gain support for their personal prowess. By his personal prowess man gradually makes himself capable of taking initiation. He must first develop, raise up his powers, so that enlightenment from above can be communicated to him. This is how the initiated kings and popular leaders of the Atlanteans appeared. In their hands was a great fullness of power, and great was also the veneration shown to them.

But in this fact also rooted the cause of destruction and decline. The development of the power of memory has led to the tremendous power of the individual. Man wanted to mean something with this power. And the more power grew, the more he sought to use it for his own personal purposes. The developed ambition turned into a pronounced self-pleasing. And with that came the abuse of power. If one remembers what the Atlanteans could achieve by virtue of their domination of the vital force, it will be easy to understand that this abuse must have had enormous consequences. The vast power over nature could be used for personal selfish purposes.

This was carried out in full measure by the fourth sub-race (the Praturans). People of this race, taught to dominate the aforesaid forces, used them in every possible way to satisfy their selfish desires and aspirations. But, used in this way, these forces destroyed each other in their action. It is the same as if a man's legs were stubbornly dragging him forward, while the upper part of the body was striving back.

Such a destructive action could be delayed only by the fact that a higher power began to develop in a person. It was the ability to think. Logical thinking acts in a restraining way on personal selfish desires. The source of this logical thinking we must look for in the fifth sub-race (among the Proto-Semites). People began to go beyond mere recollection of the past and began to compare different experiences. The faculty of judgment developed, and desires and aspirations began to be regulated by it. The man began to count and count. He learned to work with thought. If he had previously surrendered to his every desire, now he already began to ask himself whether thought could also approve this desire. If the people of the fourth sub-race violently rushed to satisfy their desires, then the people of the fifth begin to listen to their inner voice. This inner voice brings desires into the shores, although it cannot destroy the demands of the self-seeking personality.

Thus, the fifth sub-race transferred the impulses to action into the inner depths of man. A person wants to decide for himself in this depth of his own what to do and what not to do. But, gaining in his depth in the power of thinking, he begins to lose power over the external forces of nature to the same extent. With this reflective thinking, only the forces of the mineral world can be subjugated to oneself, but not the life force. Thus, the fifth sub-race developed thinking by dominating the life force. But it was precisely this that gave rise to the germ of the further development of mankind. No matter how strongly the sense of personality, self-love, and even egoism may now develop, thinking, working within man and unable to directly transmit commands to nature, could no longer exert such a destructive effect as the former, abused forces. From this fifth sub-race a group of the most gifted was chosen, who survived the death of the fourth root race; it formed the germ of the fifth, the Aryan race, whose task is to fully reveal the mental power and everything related to it.

The people of the sixth sub-race (the Akkadians) developed the power of thought even further than the fifth. They differed from the so-called proto-Semites in that they began to use this ability in an even broader sense. It has been said above that although the development of the power of thought retarded that destructive effect of the selfish strivings of the personality, which was possible in the former races, it did not destroy these strivings. The Proto-Semites arranged their personal circumstances as their thinking prompted them. Naked desires and lusts were replaced by the mind. New living conditions have arrived. If the previous races were inclined to recognize as their leader the one whose exploits were engraved in their memory, or who could look back on a life rich in memories, now this role has passed to the smart one. If before they were guided by what was associated with a good memory, now they valued most of all what was most convincing for thought. Previously, under the influence of memory, a certain custom was adhered to until it turned out to be insufficient, and it goes without saying that in this case it was possible to carry out an innovation who could help the need. Under the influence of the ability of thinking, a thirst for innovation and change has developed. Everyone wanted to carry out what his mind prompted him to do. Therefore, in the era of the fifth sub-race, unrest and anxiety begin, and in the sixth sub-race they lead to a feeling of the need to bring the wayward thinking of individuals under general laws. The flourishing of the states of the third sub-race was based on a common memory that brought order and harmony. In the era of the sixth sub-race, this system had to be carried out with the help of invented laws. Thus the source of the legal and legal order is to be sought in this sixth sub-race.

In the epoch of the third sub-race, the separation of some group of people occurred only when this group was, as it were, ousted from its community due to the fact that memories created unfavorable conditions for it. All this changed substantially in the sixth sub-race. Thinking thinking was looking for the new, as such, and prompted enterprises and new settlements. Therefore, the Akkadians were a very enterprising and colonizing people. In particular, trade was to feed the nascent faculty of thought and judgment.

In the seventh sub-race (among the Mongols), the ability to think was also developed. But some qualities of the former sub-races, especially of the fourth, have been preserved in them to a much greater extent than in the fifth and sixth. They remained true to the propensity to remember. And thus they came to the conclusion that the most ancient is also the most intelligent, that is, it can best defend itself against the power of thinking. It is true that they also lost power over the vital forces, but the power of thought that had developed in them itself possessed to some extent the natural power of this vital force.

They have lost power over life, but they have never lost their immediate naive faith in it. This power was for them God, by whose authority they acted, creating everything that they considered right. Therefore, to neighboring peoples, they seemed to be possessed by this secret power; and they gave themselves to her with blind trust. Their descendants in Asia and in some European countries showed and still show this feature to a large extent. The ability of thinking inherent in man could reach its full flowering in its development only if it received a new stimulus in the fifth root race. In the fourth race this power could only be at the service of what had been nurtured in it by its gift of memory. Only the fifth race reached such forms of life for which the faculty of thought was an indispensable tool.

The Fourth Root Race - the Atlanteans - began its existence about 4-5 million years ago. In that epoch the Third Race was already declining: most of the vast continent of Lemuria still existed. A new great Race originated in what is now approximately the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Then in this place there was a cluster of many islands; over time, they rose and turned into a great continent - Atlantis.

The people of the Fourth Race are descended from a selection of recruits from the seventh sub-race of the Third Race. The first Atlanteans were shorter than the Lemurians, but still they were giants - they reached three and a half meters. Over the millennia, their growth gradually decreased. The color of the skin of the first sub-race was dark red, and the second was red-brown.

The state of the first Atlanteans can be called infantile: their consciousness did not reach the level of the last sub-races of the Lemurians. Therefore, their development took place under the direct guidance of the Great Instructors of mankind, who endowed him with reason in the Third Race. The hierarchs of the Great Brotherhood were embodied among the first Atlantes in the person of their Rulers.

From the Divine Teachers who guided them, the Atlanteans accepted the belief in the existence of the Supreme Cosmic Being, penetrating all that exists. So the cult of the Sun was established as a symbol of this highest concept. For his glorification, Atlantes climbed to the tops of the mountains. There, from solid stones, they built a semblance of circles representing the annual rotation of the Sun. These stones were arranged in such a way that for one who stood in front of the altar in the center of the circle, the Sun appeared at the time of the summer solstice behind one stone, and at the time of the vernal equinox behind the other. The same circles of stones served for other astronomical observations concerning distant constellations.

The third sub-race of the Atlanteans - the Toltecs - reached the pinnacle of the development of their Race. They were also tall - they reached two and a half meters; over time, their growth decreased, reaching the height of a person of our days. The skin color of this sub-race was copper-red. Their facial features were correct. The descendants of the Toltecs are purebred representatives of the Peruvians and Aztecs, as well as the red-skinned Indians of North and South America.

Approximately a million years ago, when the Atlantean Race was in its full bloom, the continent of Atlantis occupied most of the Atlantic Ocean, its northern margin Atlantis extended several degrees east of Iceland, including Scotland, Ireland and the northern part of England, and its southern margin to the southernmost tropic (to about where Rio de Janeiro is now), including Texas, Mexico, the Strait of Mexico, and parts of the US and Labrador. The equatorial regions included Brazil and the entire expanse of the ocean to the Gold Coast of Africa. The present Azores were inaccessible snowy peaks of the highest mountain range of the continent of Atlantis. There were such separate, as if cut off from Atlantis, parts in the form of islands of various shapes, which later turned into the continents of Europe, America and Africa.

The Toltecs created the most powerful empire among the peoples of Atlantis. About a million years ago, after long internecine wars, individual tribes united into one large federation, headed by the emperor. The time has come for peace and prosperity for the entire Race. For many thousands of years, the Toltecs reigned over all the continents of Atlantis, achieving great power and wealth. The "City of the Golden Gates", located in the eastern part of Atlantis, was the residence of the emperors, whose power extended to the entire continent and even to the islands.

Throughout this epoch, the initiated leaders always kept in touch with the secret Hierarchy, obeyed its instructions and acted in accordance with its plans. As a result, that era was the golden age of Atlantis. The government was just and beneficent, the arts and sciences flourished. The leaders of the country, using secret knowledge, have achieved extraordinary results. In that era, the culture and civilization of Atlantis reached its climax.

In the era of prosperity, under the influence of emperors-Adepts, the people reached the purest and truest understanding of the Divine idea. The symbol was the only form by which it was possible to approach the idea of ​​that essence of the Cosmos, which, being inexpressible, permeates everything. Thus, the symbol of the Sun was one of the first to be perceived and understood. The cult of Fire and the cult of the Sun were celebrated in the magnificent temples that rose all over the continent of Atlantis, especially in the City of the Golden Gates. In those days, any images of the Deity were forbidden. The disk of the Sun was the only emblem worthy of depicting the head of the Deity, and this image was in every temple. This golden disk was usually placed in such a way that the first ray of the Sun illuminated it at the time of the spring equinox or summer solstice.

The sciences and arts reached their maximum development in the Toltec sub-race. None of the other sub-races of Atlantis could compare with the Toltecs.

Writing was invented by the Atlanteans and used by them. They wrote on thin metal sheets, the surface of which resembled white porcelain. They knew how to reproduce and reproduce the text.

The schools of the heyday were of two categories: primary, where they taught reading and writing, and special, where children at the age of 12 who showed special talents were transferred. In these higher schools they received more extensive knowledge. Botany, chemistry, mathematics and astronomy were studied here. Much attention was paid to the fact that every educated person knew in general terms medicine and methods of treatment by magnetism.

All sciences at school were different than ours. The main task of the teacher was the development of the student's hidden psychic powers and, in connection with this, an experimental acquaintance with the secret forces of nature. This included familiarity with the secret features of plants, metals and precious stones, as well as the chemical process of transmutation of metals. Most people then possessed the ability to control psychic forces. Particularly eminent persons studied in higher schools or universities, where they were specially engaged in the development of latent individual forces.

Questions relating to one of the main branches of Toltec life - agriculture and farming - were studied in detail in higher schools. Here they taught to breed special breeds of animals and grow special varieties of plants and cereals. Oats and some other cereals are the result of crossing wheat with various herbs that grow naturally on our planet. Wheat is not a product of our world - it was brought by the Masters of Wisdom from another planet.

All experimental research in this area was carried out in the agronomic schools of Atlantis. One of the results of these investigations was a striking modification of the banana, which, in its wild state, was almost pulpless and, like a melon, full of pits. It was only after many centuries, perhaps millennia, that a huge number of graftings and special growing conditions produced the seedless fruit that we now know. In many experiments in crossing and rearing new breeds of animals and plants, the Toltecs used artificial heat and colored light.

Of domestic animals, the Toltecs bred a special kind of pig, similar to small tapirs; large animals like cats; ancestors of a dog with a wolf appearance. As dairy animals, they had a special kind of cattle, similar to camels, but smaller in stature. Lamas from Peru are descended from these animals.

The wise Guidance of the Hierarchy was also reflected in the predestination of the basic types of the plant and animal kingdoms, which go through their evolution of form and consciousness with the help of direct influence on the part of man. For example, the development of the form of such a noble animal as the horse was the result of many experiments that man of that time carried out according to the outlines of the Hierarchy and through Her helpers-initiates.

In agriculture, great importance was attached to astronomy, which at that time was not an abstract knowledge. The secret influences affecting the life of plants and animals were also the subject of study, and the Atlanteans knew how to use this knowledge. The way to call rain at will was also known.

As for the development of art, music, even in its heyday, was very imperfect; the form of musical instruments was quite primitive. Painting also never reached a high degree of development. Sculpture, on the contrary, has reached a high degree of perfection. Everyone who had the means or opportunity considered it his duty to place in the temple a sculptural image of wood or stone resembling basalt. Wealthier citizens cast their images in gold, silver, or orichalcum.

The main branch of art at that time was architecture. Living houses, even in cities, were surrounded by gardens. A characteristic feature of the Toltec house was a tower that rose on the corner or in the center of the building. The tower ended with a pointed dome and usually served as an observatory. The facades of buildings were decorated with frescoes, sculptures or colored ornaments. Atlanteans loved bright colors and painted their houses inside and out. A special substance, similar to glass, but less transparent, let light into the interior of the houses.

Public buildings and temples were striking in their massiveness and gigantic size. The temples consisted of huge halls, similar to the giant halls of Egypt, but even more grandiose in size. Like private dwellings, temples were decorated with towers, ornaments and frescoes that matched their wealth. The towers served as observatories and for the cult of the Sun. Temples and public buildings were decorated with artistic inlays and gold plates. Buildings of public importance usually consisted of four buildings surrounding a central courtyard, in the middle of which a fountain spouted.

The capital of Atlantis, the City of the Golden Gates, was located on the slopes of a hill near the seashore. The area, covered with magnificent forests, surrounded the city like a park. The nearby mountain range provided water to the city. At the top of the hill stood the palace of the emperor, surrounded by a garden, through which a stream flowed, supplying water first to the imperial palace and garden fountains. It then cascaded into a moat-like pool that surrounded the palace grounds, thus separating it from the city below. Four canals flowing from this moat brought water to the city and fed the annular canals below, of which there were three. The outer one, lower than the others, still towered above the surrounding plain. The fourth channel was already on the plain itself, collecting all the running waters and, in turn, overthrowing them into the sea.

Thus, the city was divided by canals into three concentric belts. In the uppermost of them, adjoining directly to the territory of the palace, there were running tracks and huge public gardens. Most of the government offices were located in this belt. There was also a building for foreigners - a real palace, in which all foreigners who visited the city enjoyed hospitality for the entire duration of their stay.

Private houses and temples occupied the next two belts. The vast plain is dotted with villas, the residences of the wealthy class. The comparatively poor part of the population lived in the region of the lower belt, as well as on the other side of the outer canal, near the sea. Their houses were more closely huddled together.

In its heyday, the Golden Gate City had over two million inhabitants. And the total population of all Atlantis in the heyday of the Toltec sub-race reached two billion.

The Atlanteans used highly developed technology. They carried out the idea of ​​an aircraft, or a flying machine. Usually the cars could accommodate no more than two people, but some could take up to 6 and even 8 people. For the construction of aircraft, a special mixture of three metals was used. This white metal mixture was very expensive. The surface of the aircraft was covered with sheets of this metal. The aircraft of Atlantis gleamed in the darkness as if they were covered in shiny plaster. They looked like a ship with a closed deck.

The driving force was a kind of ether. In the center of the vessel was placed a box that served as a generator of this force. From there, it was transmitted through two pipes to the limbs of the ship. Eight additional pipes went down from these pipes. When the ship was raised, the valves of the latter opened. The current, passing through these pipes, hit the ground with such force that the ship rose upwards, and the air density itself served as a further point of support. Most of the current was directed along the main pipe, the end of which was turned down at the end of the vessel, forming an angle of about 45 degrees. This pipe served for take-off and at the same time produced the movement of the ship.

The Atlanteans also had sea-going vessels set in motion by a force similar to that described above; in this case the driving force was of a denser composition. Later, when wars and civil strife put an end to the Golden Age, warships intended for air navigation replaced a large part of sea ships, at the same time they began to be built like military transports, so that they could accommodate up to a hundred fighters.

About 100,000 years after the Golden Age, the great Atlantean Race began to decline. During the time of the Third Race, the bestiality of the "insane" manifested itself in the generation of huge humanoid monsters - the offspring of human and animal parents. As time passed, the offspring of these creatures changed due to external conditions, until, finally, these generations decreased in size and turned into the lower apes of the Miocene period. With these monkeys, the later Atlanteans resumed the sin of the "insane" - this time with full responsibility. The result of their crime was the apes known as anthropoids.

The moral fall was followed by the spiritual fall. Selfishness took over, and wars ended the Golden Age. People, instead of working for the common good under the guidance of the Great Instructors in cooperation with the cosmic forces of nature, fell into a frenzy of self-destruction.

Taking an example from their owners, the animals also rushed to torment each other. This immoral influence of man on animals extends to the present day. An example of this circumstance is the breed of big cats trained by the Atlanteans and adapted by them for hunting, which over time turned into bloodthirsty leopards and jaguars.

Each person then began to fight only for himself, to utilize his knowledge for purely egoistic purposes, and began to believe that in the Universe there is nothing higher than man. Everyone was for himself his law, his god. Then the cult celebrated in the temples no longer belonged to an inexpressible ideal, but became the cult of man, such as he is, as he was understood.

The Atlanteans began to create their images - according to their own example and likeness - and worshiped them. The statues were carved from eruptive lava, from the white marble of the mountains and from black underground stone, and were also cast from silver and gold. Niches containing such statues were carved from wood and stone and built into the walls of temples. These niches were built quite extensive, so that the procession of clergy during the celebrations in honor of a given person could go around his image. So people worshiped themselves. The richest maintained a whole staff of priests to serve this cult and take care of the altar in which the statues were located. They were sacrificed as gods. The apotheosis of self-worship could not be greater. The kings, the majority of the clergy, and a significant part of the people began to use the secret forces, ignoring the laws prescribed by the Initiates, frivolously neglecting their advice and instructions. Communication with the Hierarchy was interrupted. Personal interests, the thirst for wealth and power, the ruin and destruction of enemies in order to enrich themselves more and more captured the consciousness of the masses.

Secret knowledge, directed in the direction opposite to the goals of evolution, in the direction of selfishness and malevolence, turned into black magic and witchcraft. Luxury, brutality and barbarism increased even more, until the bestial instincts began to operate completely. Sorcerers and adepts of the dark forces widely disseminated black magic, and the number of people who comprehended and applied it was constantly increasing.

When the perversion of evolutionary laws reached its climax and the Golden Gate City became a hell of its cruelty, the first terrible catastrophe shook the entire continent. The capital was swept away by the waves of the ocean, millions of people were destroyed. Both the emperor and the clergy who had fallen away from the Higher Hierarchy were repeatedly warned about this catastrophe.

Under the influence of the Light Forces, who foresaw the catastrophe, the best part of the people emigrated from this area before the catastrophe. These were the most developed members of the Race, who did not succumb to the general madness, who knew the law of the world, retained a correct understanding of responsibility and control over psychic forces.

This first catastrophe occurred during the Miocene epoch, approximately 800,000 years ago. It significantly changed the distribution of land on the globe. The Great Atlantic Ocean has lost its polar regions, and its middle part has shrunk and broken up. The American continent in this era was separated by a strait from the Atlantis that gave birth to it; the latter extended even across the Atlantic Ocean, occupying a space from 50 degrees north latitude to a few degrees south of the equator. There have been such significant subsidence and uplift of the mainland in other parts of the world. Thus, a huge area was formed from the detached north-eastern part of Atlantis; the islands of Great Britain formed part of a huge island, covering Scandinavia, the north of France, and all the nearest seas surrounding them. The remnants of Lemuria were still shrinking, while the future territories of Europe, America and Africa were expanding significantly.

The second, less significant, catastrophe occurred about 200,000 years ago. The mainland of Atlantis was divided into two islands: the northern, large, called Ruta, and the southern, smaller, called Laithia. The island of Scandinavia then joined the European mainland. There were some changes on the continent of America, as well as the flooding of Egypt.

After the catastrophe, the efforts of the Light Forces, acting under the leadership of the Hierarchy, gave good results for some time and influenced the abstinence of the saved population from practicing black magic, but the Toltec sub-race could never achieve its former brilliance. Later, the descendants of the Toltecs on about. Ruta repeated in miniature the history of their ancestors. The rulers and their dynasty again reached a certain power and reigned over most of the island. Subsequently, this dynasty also fell under the influence of black magic, which spread more and more and led again to a cosmically inevitable catastrophe that cleansed the world for its further evolutionary development.

About 80,000 years ago, the third catastrophe occurred, exceeding all the others in strength and brightness. Laitia has almost completely disappeared, while insignificant remnants of the island of Ruta have survived - Fr. Poseidonis.

In this era and before the disappearance of Fr. Poseidonis, nevertheless, in some part of the continent, an emperor from a bright dynasty always reigned. He acted under the leadership of the Hierarchy and resisted the spread of dark forces, led a minority that observed a pure and sublime life.

Before the catastrophes, there was always an emigration of the best minority. These emigrations were led by spiritual leaders who foresaw the disaster that threatened the country. Initiated kings and teachers who followed the "good law" were warned in advance of impending disasters. They were, as it were, the center of prophetic warnings and saved the faithful chosen tribes. Such migrations took place secretly, under cover of the night.

In 9567 B.C. e. powerful earthquakes destroyed the island. Poseidonis and the island plunged into the sea, creating a huge wave that flooded the lowlands, leaving behind a memory in the minds of people as a huge destructive "flood".

About 400,000 years ago the Grand Lodge of Initiates was transferred from Atlantis to Egypt. The golden age of the Toltecs was long over, the moral decline and the practice of black magic spread more and more widely. The White Lodge demanded a cleaner environment and therefore was transferred to Egypt - at that time a desert, sparsely populated area. There the Grand Lodge of Initiates was able to continue its work unhindered for two hundred thousand years.

About 200,000 years ago, the White Lodge founded an empire that was dominated by the first "Divine Dynasty" of Egypt and began to educate the people. At this time, the first detachments of immigrants from Atlantis appeared.

In the course of the 10,000 years that remained before the second catastrophe, two large Giza pyramids were built, with large halls where the initiation rites of the disciples took place and in which powerful talismans were to be preserved during the cosmic catastrophes they foresaw.

In the era of the second catastrophe (200 thousand years ago) and the first sinking of Egypt, its population emigrated to the mountains of Abyssinia, which at that time were an island. When the flooded territories appeared again above the sea, they began to be settled partly by the descendants of the former inhabitants, partly by Atlantean settlers, mainly Akkadians. Their mixture created the type of Egyptians. The reign of the second "Divine Dynasty" of Egypt dates back to this time, when the Initiated Adepts still ruled the country.

The third catastrophe with Atlantis, which occurred 80 thousand years ago, caused the second flooding of Egypt. When the water receded, the third "Divine Dynasty" mentioned by Manetho reigned. During the reign of the first rulers of this dynasty, the great temple of Karnak and many other majestic structures were built.

Dive into the ocean Poseidonis caused another flood of Egypt. It was very short-lived, but put an end to the "Divine Dynasty", because the Lodge of Initiates moved its residence to another country. The human dynasty of the ancient Egyptians, which began with Menes, possessed all the knowledge of the Atlanteans, although there was no more Atlantean blood in their veins. During the sinking of Poseidonis, the Sahara desert was still the bottom of the ocean, just as the Gobi desert was the bottom of the sea inside Central Asia. The islands of Great Britain were still connected to the European continent, but the Baltic Sea did not yet exist. Since that time, the outlines of the continents take the form in which they already exist today.

Turans - the fourth sub-race - were yellow. This sub-race was violent and undisciplined, rough and cruel. The Turanians have never dominated the continent of Atlantis. They were colonizers. Most of them emigrated to areas located east of Atlantis. Then they headed even further east, to the shores of Central Asia. Some of them migrated even further, along the Yellow River, and finally settled in the center of China. This sub-race is now represented in some parts of modern China by tall Chinese, easily distinguished from the Chinese of the seventh sub-race.

Primary Semites - the fifth sub-race - were white. The sub-race is very warlike, healthy, energetic, prone to robbery. They were predominantly nomads. The characteristic features of this sub-race were suspiciousness and quarrelsomeness, eternal wars with neighbors. Their descendants are purebred Jews and Kabyles of North Africa.

Akkadians - the sixth sub-race - were white. They appeared after the catastrophe that occurred 80 thousand years ago. They fought many wars with the Semites, who finally won. The Akkadians were noted for their commercial, navigational, and colonial abilities. The great interest shown by the Akkadians in navigation made them intensely engaged in observing the starry sky, so they achieved tremendous success in astronomy and astrology. They built several large shopping centers and established a connection with the most remote parts of the globe. Their descendants were the Phoenicians who traded along the shores of the Mediterranean.

The last, seventh, or Mongolian, sub-race originated in the Tatar steppes of Eastern Siberia. The Mongols descended directly from the Turanian sub-race, which they replaced in much of Asia. They had nothing to do with the ancient continent of Atlantis. They originated in the wide expanses of Tataria and had enough places for resettlement in their own country. This sub-race has grown enormously. According to the conditions of the area, the Mongols became nomads, then farmers. They were a superior sub-race to their predecessors, the rough Turanians. Like the last ones, they were yellow. Scattered on the plains of China, they represent the modern Chinese.

The Japanese do not belong entirely to any of the sub-races, being a cross between several sub-races. The Japanese are, as it were, the last scum of the entire indigenous race. That is why they have many qualities that distinguish them from the seventh sub-race - the Chinese.

The Fifth Root Race, which now stands at the head of human evolution, originated from the fifth sub-race of the Atlanteans, the primitive Semites. The most prominent families of this sub-race were singled out and settled around the southern shores of the Central Sea of ​​Asia long before the death of Atlantis. The Fifth Race is also divided into seven sub-races, of which only five have appeared so far. The first sub-race from Central Asia moved to India and settled in the south of the Himalayas. She began to dominate the vast Hindustan Peninsula, subjugating the peoples of the Fourth and Third Races who inhabited India in this era. The first sub-race is represented not only by the Aryan Hindus, but also by one of the types of Ancient Egypt, that to which the ruling class belonged.

The second subrace includes Aryan Semites, different from the original Semites - Chaldea, Assyria, Babylon, as well as modern Arabs and Moors. The third sub-race is Iranian, to which belonged the ancient Persians, whose descendants are the modern Persians. The fourth sub-race - Celtic - includes the ancient Greeks and Romans, as well as modern Italians, Greeks, French, Spaniards, Irish, Scots. The fifth - Teutonic - sub-race includes Slavs, Scandinavians, Dutch, English and their descendants, scattered all over the world.

Fragments of a conversation with students held August 21–23, 2006 at the New Immortals summer camp near Laguna Pueblo, New Mexico, USA

... Let's remember another myth that has been disturbing the ignorant minds of representatives of the current human population for several thousand years. I mean the myth of Atlantis.

Although each nation has its own myths and legends about an island, area or city that has gone under water, the most famous story is that of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato ... [The following is a brief retelling of the relevant dialogues of Plato, which we omit in this edition.]

In almost every story about Atlantis, there is a bizarre mixture of fantasy and true facts relating to completely different times and spaces. What self-names did all these dead and not dead, but gone into the watery depths of civilization have? What were the names of the neighboring peoples and tribes? Now it doesn't matter to us at all. Therefore, for simplicity, I will use only two terms. Under Atlantis I mean the closest civilization to us in the historically territorial sense, which originated about eleven and a half thousand years ago and, unfortunately, has survived to this day. All other numerous disappeared or almost disappeared civilizations and cities, from the original, which arose in the early days of the existence of the Universe, to the predecessor of the current Atlantis, I will designate as Pra-Atlantis.

We will not consider ordinary natural and unnatural cataclysms, as a result of which unremarkable fragments of known civilizations perished - this would be an endless and uninteresting story.

Where did it all start?

You already know how the Universe arose: about the point of singularity and the imaginary point of presingularity, about the forced treachery of the First Man, who, for the sake of his own salvation, launched the simple mechanism of the World of Suffering, or, as we still say, the Corrupted World ... But there is something that I still trying to keep quiet.

For example, I hardly touched on topics related to Nazi mysticism. I mean the Thule Society, the Ahnenerbe Institute, Herbiger, Gaushofer and other "mystics", including, of course, Hitler himself.

Nazi mysticism was based on several contradictory, even mutually exclusive, theses. They combined the concept of World Ice and Fire with the theory of the hollow Earth, on the inner surface of which humanity lives. The mass of heterogeneous views did not fit into a single picture. However, over time, this problem was successfully solved.

So, the beginning of the universe. In the early days after the Big Bang (scientists talk about seconds, but this is complete nonsense), space and time had a completely different structure than they do now. They still bore the imprint of the inner, spiritual being underlying them, and, as a result, had a negative curvature oriented from outside to inside. One can speak of a ball, outside of which, of course, there is nothing, expanding from the center, but oriented in all processes precisely to the center. Due to uniformly multidirectional expansion processes, a spherical cavity was formed in the center of the ball, which is also continuously growing. And so, when its diameter reached nine thousand kilometers (this is slightly less than the diameter of the current planet Earth, or Trike, if we use a more familiar name), space-time stabilized near the surface of the cavity. Of course, at some distance from the surface to the center or towards Nothing, that is, under the surface - opposite from the center, there was an abrupt change in the properties of space-time. Therefore, "nine thousand kilometers" would be obtained if someone bothered to measure the curvature of the cavity near the surface and, using the geometric formulas known to us, calculated the diameter based on the measurements. However, at each point of the internal space of the sphere, such measurements would give different, much larger results, and near the center, the diameter of the sphere would turn out to be tending to infinity. I hope this is understandable.

But what about Atlantis? A little patience. The fact is that as soon as the space-time configuration of the surface of the cavity approached in terms of basic parameters the original Troy - the prototype of all subsequent world-forming planets (including Troy-10/1, that is, our current Trike), the First Man hastened to create people. As you understand, He could not delay their creation: for the sake of this He creates all these countless universes - in order to shift the burden of His immeasurable suffering onto someone else as quickly as possible ...

The first people inhabited the inner surface of the world sphere, outside of which, as I said, there was nothing, but inside - an infinite self-unfolding universe.

The echoes of this ancient world order were caught by the Nazi mystics, but they did not immediately manage to correctly interpret them. Surely they would not have succeeded if in 1943 the politically unscrupulous Atlanteans had not concluded an Agreement with the shadow government of the planet, which redrawn the map of the world. As you remember, this Treaty not only approved the creation of the State of Israel, assigned a special status to the Arctic zone, determined the future of China, Tibet, New Zealand and Siberian artifacts. A plan was also agreed upon to create from the remnants of the Third Reich the so-called New Swabia - a country not indicated on any map, hidden to this day in cavities under the Arctic ice.

After President Truman came to power, America tried to violate the agreements reached. In 1947, a powerful squadron headed for the shores of Antarctica under the leadership of Rear Admiral Richard Byrd. Of course, the Nazis, who had already managed to recover from defeat in two years and now relied on the technical power of the Atlanteans, did not stand on ceremony with her. The squadron, having suffered heavy losses, was forced to urgently leave the Antarctic waters. Then everything was written off as "aliens", but, as you understand, "aliens" have nothing to do with it.

Together with the technologies, the Atlanteans passed on to the heirs of the Nazis a part of their philosophical and historical knowledge. Including the information they saved about the original Praatlantis.

The first Pra-Atlantis existed on the entire surface of Troya-10 about fourteen billion years ago for a very long period. Water and land on Troya-10 were then distributed more orderly, more evenly and not in the same way as now: the land area prevailed over the water surface. There were not only oceans, but even seas - only a network of rivers and large deep lakes. The climate was mild, comfortable on the entire inner surface of the sphere. Thanks to this, the First Man managed to increase the population to six hundred billion human individuals. At that time, people did not yet know diseases, did not grow old, and died very rarely - either by their own decision or as a result of accidents. The government of the Pra-Atlanteans, which combined spiritual and political leadership, was located on an artificial island surrounded by a system of concentric canals. Troya-10 was divided into ten approximately equal administrative districts - Plato's description is very close to the truth.

The first man, with all his might, could not ensure the long-term stability of the world he created. This required the united will of all people. Space and time continued to scatter. The interior of the sphere was overflowing with energy, germs of stars and planets arose everywhere. And at some point - about three billion earth years ago - that very first catastrophe occurred.

In an instant, the inner surface of the world sphere became the outer surface of one of the innumerable planets of the universe. Monstrous cataclysms shook Troya-10. As a result of the inversion, the earth's crust parted, mountains rose somewhere, giant depressions filled the world's waters - oceans and continents arose. Of the six hundred billion pro-Atlanteans, only a few tens of thousands managed to survive. However, the First Man had long been ready for such an outcome - all the dead pra-Atlanteans received new bodies on similar planets of the Milky Way galaxy and in neighboring galaxies. The first planet - Troya-10 - was duplicated twice. This happened as a result of the erroneous magical actions of the high priests of Praatlantis, who tried to restrain and reverse the process of universal inversion. So Troya-10 became Troya-10/1, Troya-10/2 and Troya-10/3.

I emphasize once again: Praatlantis could have existed longer. Even indefinitely. But the rulers of the world, and then most of the ordinary pra-Atlanteans, were seized by excessive pride. They increasingly lost their spiritual connection with the Creator-First Man. In the end, the last ruler of Praatlantis and at the same time the chief priest proclaimed himself the only god, and his state (occupying, let me remind you, the entire inner surface) the center of the World. Despite the obvious absurdity of this idea, many believed him ... But the external cannot be the center for the internal. The cunning First Man, who already had experience in creating countless worlds, foresaw this in his sacred geometry. So, the Pra-Atlanteans, possessed by immeasurable egocentrism, themselves became the catalyst for their own death. But it was enough for them to follow the original faith in the Creator, rely on His will in everything and not even try to understand the structure of the World!

In the epochs that followed the catastrophe, humanity repeatedly revived and died again almost completely, reproducing in each cycle more and more vague memories of the Earthly Paradise, of the first Pra-Atlantis.

The modern Atlanteans are a very special civilization. They did what no one on our planet has been able to do so far - they deliberately parted ways with human bodies, making survival and self-determination their main priority. Even in the conditions of a prison planet, which is the current Trike-Earth.

What did they do to achieve their goals?

About nine thousand years ago, the Atlanteans were the most developed and powerful power on the planet. Their state was located on a mainland that does not exist now, which, together with the islands adjacent to it, occupied almost the entire North Atlantic and part of the South. In Mesoamerica, the Mediterranean, Africa and Madagascar (which was then much larger) there were numerous Atlantean colonies.

On the territory of present-day Russia and nearby - from the Central Russian Upland to Eastern Siberia, from the Arctic to the Indian Ocean - the once powerful, but increasingly weakening ancient Russian state opposed the Atlanteans. It must be said that the fate of Ancient Rus' was a foregone conclusion, just as the fate of modern Russia is now a foregone conclusion. The administration of the prison planet - as long as it is in its power - will never allow the heirs of Heavenly Rus' from Troy-4 to create a powerful and stable civilization here. Therefore, the shadow rulers of the planet supported the Atlanteans in every possible way.

However, in that period - nine thousand years ago - a truly wise and far-sighted person became the hereditary ruler of Atlantis. It is necessary to name his name, especially since it is now widely known, but in every possible way slandered and vilified. His name was Khu-Tulku, or the Reborn Inner Sun - translated from the language of the Atlanteans, from which, by the way, the Tibetan language originated. I note that the ancient Egyptian, Mesoamerican and other sun worshipers have for the most part already lost the esoteric tradition of worshiping the Inner Sun, transferring it mechanically to the external, i.e., to the star of our system. But this is not the most terrible and blasphemous perversion of the ancient tradition.

It is Khu-Tulku that is depicted in the narcotic delusional opuses of the writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft. In them, the name of the ruler is slightly distorted: he is called Cthulhu. In addition, Lovecraft tried to make a real monster out of him - the size of a small ship, resembling an octopus, a dragon and a man at the same time. Lovecraft's Cthulhu affects the mind of living beings, but, since it is buried under the water column, it can only dominate human dreams. At the end of the 20th century, even a cult of worshipers of Cthulhu arose. But in more detail about what is behind this myth and the campaign against Cthulhu launched in the media and online blogs, as well as how the Atlanteans actually look, I will tell you another time.

The wise Khu-Tulku, having become the ruler and realizing the futility of the existence of the Atlantean nation under the strict control of galactic jailers, convened the best scientists-magicians of Atlantis for a secret meeting, and this is what was eventually invented.

Since the entire territory of the land is controlled by the enemies of the human race, and only in the depths of the oceans there are a considerable number of areas inaccessible to the prison administration, why not take refuge there? To do this, it was necessary, firstly, to carry out a diversionary maneuver, for example, to unleash a protracted, but not too bloody war with the Russians; secondly, to make the necessary magical and genetic changes in the organisms of the Atlanteans so that they can exist under water at great depths; and thirdly, develop a secret engineering plan for the gradual, seemingly catastrophic process of lowering Atlantis under water.

There was another important argument in favor of moving civilization to the oceans. Already then, nine thousand years ago, scientists-magicians of Atlantis and Ancient Rus' conducted a series of experiments on the practical use of the energy-informational properties of water. They made a startling discovery: giant masses of this unique liquid form a closed supersystem on the spherical surface of the planet. On its basis, in even more ancient times, a super-powerful quantum computer was created - a computing center on a galactic scale. For a number of reasons, which I will not talk about now, the computer was turned off and mothballed. Nevertheless, it remained technically possible to pick up the keys to the artifact terminals that were in a semi-working state, located mostly under water or deep underground.

That, in fact, is all. For more than two thousand years, the Atlanteans managed to fully implement their plan, without arousing anyone's suspicions. When the deed was done, Khu-Tulku generously shared his knowledge with the then ruler of Rus' - Troyan. However, generosity was quite rational. Indeed, on the territory of Eurasia there were several important artifacts, without which the planetary computer could not work. As a result of cooperation with the Atlanteans, the Russians also successfully submerged part of the northern territories and one of their main cities - Kitezh-grad, connecting it with underground water-information communications with the largest lakes and the World Ocean. The best representatives of Ancient Rus' became underwater inhabitants and partially assimilated into the Atlanteans, introducing a number of their national characteristics into their culture.

Since then, for about seven millennia, the positions of the Atlanteans have been increasingly strengthened.

They did not shy away from communicating with people, but did not always take into account their interests. Periodically, it happened that the man-made actions of the Atlanteans caused real disasters: global floods, uplifts and subsidence of parts of the land, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, etc. Communication was maintained with elected representatives of people, mainly priests, in former colonies in Egypt, Babylon , India, China, Mesoamerica, as well as with former opponents - sorcerers and rulers of ancient and modern Russian civilizations. Therefore, there have always been those who learned about the coming disasters in time, such as the biblical Noah.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the influence of the Atlanteans on people's lives has reached a new level. In addition to the Antarctic project, I will also mention cooperation with the communist government of Russia. For example, the construction of the White Sea Canal by the forces of the Gulag prisoners was necessary for the Atlanteans to upgrade one of the nodes of the planetary computer. As you can see, the Atlanteans are completely unscrupulous in the means to achieve their goals.

However, after Stalin's death, the Soviet regime began to make the same mistakes as the Truman regime a little earlier. The Russians took large-scale actions against their former allies (and their ancestors!) - the Atlanteans. Several super-powerful nuclear explosions on Novaya Zemlya disabled a terminal in the Arctic Ocean. Nuclear charges were installed on the ocean floor, numerous submarines were stuffed with them ... Finally, a plan was developed for turning the northern rivers.

The Atlanteans had no choice but to initiate a coup d'état and destroy the Soviet Union with all its dangerous ambitions. A new puppet government was hastily formed in 1985 on the basis of a Supplementary Agreement to the 1943 Treaty.

Thus, there are now two real forces on Trike-Earth: the prison administration of the Galactic Confederation and Atlantis. The sad thing is that in the last half century they are increasingly moving towards rapprochement and cooperation. The world is becoming unipolar. Well, you all know perfectly well what this will lead to in the very near future.

The Hyperboreans, whose existence is now regarded as mythical, are described (Herodotus, IV, 33, 35; Pausanius, 1, 31, 32; V, 7, 8; X, 5, 7, 8) as beloved clergymen and priests of the Gods and especially Apollo .

The Cyclopes are not the only "one-eyed" representatives in the legend. The Arimaspians were a Scythian tribe and were also endowed with only one eye. (ancient geography, 11, 312). It was they who were destroyed by the arrows of Apollo.

Ulysses was shipwrecked off the island of Eea, where Circe turned all his companions into pigs. for their voluptuousness; after that he was cast out on Ogygia, the island of Calypso, where for seven years he lived with a nymph in unlawful cohabitation. But Calypso was the daughter of Atlas (Odyssey, XII), and all the old traditional accounts, speaking of the island of Ogygia, say that it was very far from Greece, just in the middle of the ocean; thus they identified it with Atlantis.

To establish the difference between Lemuria and Atlantis, ancient writers defined the latter as Northern, or Hyperborean, Atlantis, the former as Southern. So Apollodorus says (King's Mythology, 11): "The golden apples stolen by Hercules were not in Libya, as some think, but in Hyperborean Atlantis." The Greeks naturalized all the Gods they borrowed and made them Hellenes, and the modern ones helped them in this. Also, mythologists tried to turn Eridanus into the Po River, located in Italy. The myth about Phaeton says that after his death, his sisters shed bitter tears that fell into Eridanus and turned into amber! Nowadays, amber is found only in the northern seas in the Baltic provinces.

Death overtook Phaethon when he brought heat to the frozen stars in the regions of Boreas and thereby awakened the Dragon at the Pole, ossified from the cold, which overthrew him into Eridanus. This allegory refers directly to climatic changes in those distant times, when the polar lands turned from a frozen zone into a country with a temperate and warm climate. Phaeton, the usurper of the functions of the Sun, was cast down to Eridanus by a thunderbolt from Jupiter, this should be seen as a hint of the second displacement that occurred in these areas, when the country where "magnolia bloomed" once again turned into a desert, uninhabited country in the Far North, among the eternal ice . This allegory thus embraces the events of the two Pralayas; and if well understood, it will serve as proof of the great antiquity of the human races.

Tapp, man is a living being and manes, dead people. The Laplanders call their corpses and now manes ( "Renard's Journey to Lapland", I, 184). Mannus is the ancestor of the Germanic Race; Manu of the Hindus, a thinking being from Man; Egyptian - Less, and Minos, King of Crete, judge of the hellish regions after his death - they all came from the same word or root.

So, for example, Gyges in one case is a monster with a hundred hands and fifty heads, a demigod, and in another presentation he comes from Lydia, the successor of Candaulus, the king of the country. We find the same thing in the Hindu Pantheon, where the Rishis and the sons of Brahma reincarnate as mortal men.

The continents perish in turn by fire and water, or by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, or by sinking and drowning in the great movement of the waters. Our continents must perish from the first of this kind of destructive processes. The incessant earthquakes of the past may be a warning.

Denis, a geographer, tells us that the great sea in the north of Asia was called Glacial or Saturnian (V, 35). Orpheus (r. 1077) and Pliny (IV, 16) confirm this statement, proving that it was its gigantic inhabitants that gave it this name. The Secret Teaching explains both statements, informing us that all continents were formed starting from the North towards the South; and as the sudden change of the climate diminished the growth of the race which was born upon it, stopping its growth, a few degrees to the south, various conditions always produced the tallest men in every new humanity or race. We see this even now. The tallest people now found live in northern countries, while the shortest belong to South Asians, Hindus, Chinese and Japanese, etc. Compare the tall Sikhs and Punjabis, Afghans, Norwegians, Russians, North Germans, Scots and British with Central India and with the average European on the mainland. Therefore, the giants of Atlantis, and therefore the titans of Hesiod, were all of northern origin.

Since the time of Plato, the mystery of the lost Atlantis has excited the minds of millions of people. In recent decades, interest in Atlantis has flared up with renewed vigor. During this time, many theories and hypotheses have been put forward. Thanks to modern technical means and scientific progress, many discoveries and finds have been made, proving the existence of an ancient high civilization. More than 50 years ago, a section of biogeography of the Quaternary period was even created - atlantology (1959 by N.F. Zhirov), the main task of which is to identify a rational grain in historical sources and myths, including Plato's legend. However, modern researchers do not take into account, either due to inattention, or ignorance, or distrust of the Secret Sources, a very important fact. Plato collected the history of Atlantis, covering several million years, into one event, limited by him to a small period of time and a relatively small island of 3000 stadia in length and 2000 in width (which is approximately the size of Ireland), while the priests spoke of Atlantis, as of the Continent, in size , "like all of Asia and Libya" put together. Due to geological catastrophes, this continent has split into parts. The large island where the capital was located continued to disintegrate until it turned into Poseidonis (the native name of the island), about which the Egyptians told Plato, and which sank into the waters of the ocean, called the Atlantic.

Thus, researchers often err in their interpretation and conclusions regarding finds confirming the existence of other high civilizations in antiquity. For example, in an article by Tony Earl "", the author, following Professor Risdon Hodlop, erroneously attributes the scrolls found in 1959. in Mexico, to the civilization of Lemuria. The scrolls tell of a civilization that flourished 50,000 years ago and finally disappeared 15,000 years ago. But the Secret Sources state that the last of the lands of Lemuria perished 700,000 years before the beginning of the Tertiary Period, and the last major island of Atlantis sank about 11,650 years ago. But long before that, the Atlanteans began to migrate to other countries, including the country of Mu.

However, in the proposed work, the author does not aim to analyze existing hypotheses and discoveries. On the contrary, those interested in the problem of Atlantis, on the basis of the data presented in this article, can analyze for themselves those discoveries and hypotheses that they consider the most reliable.

It should be emphasized that this article uses material from the most reliable sources. At its core, the work is based on the works of E.P. Blavatsky and records of E.Casey's readings.

Preceding Races

According to esoteric data, the evolution of life on every planet, including our Earth, goes through large and small cycles. Each great cycle (CIRCLE) has seven Root Races and seven sub-races (Subras). And speaking of any Root Race, it is necessary to take into account the huge duration of time in the entry of one Race to another, following it. The Elder Race gradually loses its distinctive features and takes on new features of the younger Race. This is proved by all types of mixed human races.

Now, before our eyes, the formation of a new Sixth Race is taking place. And our Fifth Race will go to the Sixth for many hundreds of millennia, just as the Fourth Race went to our Aryan Race, and the Third Race to the Atlantean Race. This applies to the continuity of cultures, and to the geological and geographical changes of the Earth. So the most ancient cultures of Egypt and the Maya were associated with Atlantis, which, in turn, was associated with Lemuria. Based on this, before talking about Atlantis, the civilization of the Fourth Root Race, let's make a brief review of the previous Races.

The First and Second Races appeared during the Carboniferous and Silurian Periods. The First Continent, the Invincible Sacred Country, is also called the cradle of the first man. This Continent covered the entire North Pole, like a "solid, undisturbed crust" and will remain so until the end of our Circle. The representatives of the First Race were giants and ethereal. Neither high temperatures, nor floods, nor the state of heterogeneity of the surrounding regions, full of deadly gases, nor the danger from the barely hardened crust could harm them and prevent their development. They were highly spiritual, but mute, as they were devoid of a physical mind. Their reproduction took place through "self-division". The first Root Race appeared 300 million years after the development of the vegetable kingdom, which was also ethereal.

The First Race created the Second by means of "budding". The Second Race was psycho-spiritual and ethereal-physical bodily. After several stages, the reproduction of this Race became egg-bearing. Those belonging to the Second Race were also not subject to any effect of temperature or its changes. They were not savages, but they could not be civilized, although they already had a "language of sounds", for example, melodious sounds composed only of vowels. This Race developed on the Hyperborean Continent, formed during the Miocene Period. Starting in both hemispheres on a line above the northernmost part of Spitsbergen, this Continent included on the American side the places now occupied by the Baffin Sea and neighboring islands and capes and had the shape of a horseshoe. There has never been a winter in this country, and the sun did not set there for half a year. At present, North Asia, Greenland and Svalbard are the remnants of the Hyperborean Continent.

The Second Race separated from itself the Third, Androgynous Race, by a similar, but already more complex process. The method of reproduction gradually changed. The division of the sexes took place in several stages. Mankind from asexual became hermaphrodites or bisexual, then the human egg began to gradually give birth, first to creatures in which one sex prevailed over the other, and finally, certain men and women. During this period, the human kingdom branched out in several different directions. The external structure of its first representatives was very diverse.

The appearance of the first completely physical man occurred about 18 million years ago. It was the Titans and the Cyclopes (had one eye in the middle of the forehead) with limited intelligence. They were well adapted to successfully fight the giant monsters of the air, seas and land of that time. After 9 million years, man became similar to the modern one, although representatives of some groups still had giant bodies.

The Third Race was the last bearer of divine and innate Wisdom. In the early days of its existence, when it was still in a state of purity, the "Sons of Wisdom" incarnated in this Root Race, and thus a part of this Race was animated by the divine spark of the spiritual, higher mind. Representatives of the Third and Holy Races, when they reached their zenith, were described as "the highest giants of divine power and beauty and keepers of the secrets of Heaven and Earth." This was the "Golden Age" of those ancient times, the Age when "Gods walked the earth and conversed freely with mortals."

In the later times of Lemuria, there were both civilized peoples and savages. In the sixth subrace, the Lemurians were already building rock-like cities out of stone and lava. One such city was built in that part of the mainland, which is now known as the island of Madagascar. Another, of a primitive kind, built entirely of lava, was about thirty miles west of Easter Island. Subsequently, this city was destroyed by volcanic eruptions. All the oldest remains of the ruins of the Cyclopean structures were the work of the last sub-races of the Lemurians.

The Third Continent (Lemuria) stretched from the foot of the Himalayas to the south through South India, Ceylon and Sumatra; then, enveloping on its way, as it moved southward, Madagascar on the right side and Tasmania on the left, descended, not reaching a few degrees to the Antarctic Circle. Australia in those days was an inland region on the Main Continent, it went far into the Pacific Ocean beyond the borders of Easter Island. A part of this Continent was also a wide strip of California and some parts of Africa. On the mainland, where Tibet, Mongolia and the Gobi desert are now located, there was a vast inland sea.

The Third Race was near the middle point of its development when the earth's axis shifted and a severe cooling set in. Due to the decrease in the speed of the earth's rotation, earthquakes and underground fires, the Mainland of Lemuria began to be divided into smaller continents. During this geological Flood, along with the majority of the Third Race humanity, the dinosaurs also ceased to exist.

The Birth of the Fourth Race - the Atlantean Races

The Fourth Race was born after the people of the Third began to die out. Prior to this, ordinary death did not exist - there was only a transformation, because. people did not yet have a personality. Death came after the completion of the development of the physical organism. The Atlanteans of the Fourth Race descended from a small number of people of the Third Race, the northern Lemurians. After the great Flood of the Third Race, people were greatly reduced in stature and their life span shortened. Atlantis at that time formed part of the seven great Mainland Islands that were left of Lemuria. These Islands were located approximately where the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is now.

When the "Sons of Wisdom" first came for incarnation, some of them "incarnated completely, others directed only a spark into forms", but some people were left without this filling and improvement to the Fourth Race. This resulted in mindless hairy creatures, the Lemuro-Atlanteans, copulating with female animals, a long-extinct species. Thus dumb people, "monsters", were born. This kind of bipedal animal had a human form, but their lower limbs, starting from the waist, were covered with hair. Another part of humanity of the Fourth Race gave birth to offspring from females of a half-human - half-animal race. The hybrids that resulted from such copulation not only developed freely, but even gave rise to the ancestors of modern anthropoid apes. The great apes appeared a million years later than the speaking human being, and are the latest contemporaries of our Fifth Race.

During that period, many unnatural copulations took place, as a result of which, through a long series of transformations, the lower representatives of humanity were born. These beings, the so-called "Things", were producers of material goods, that is, workers, farmers, artisans. They served the Atlanteans and did all the physical work. They were treated with disdain and treated like slaves, using them as mechanical power. "Things" belonged to both individuals and groups of people or families.

Representatives of the early Fourth Race had three eyes. However, in the middle period of the third sub-race, the compaction and improvement of the human structure caused the third eye to disappear from the external anatomy of man. The eye began to gradually petrify and gradually went deep into the head. Nevertheless, the third eye continued to perform the psychic and spiritual functions of mental and visual cognition almost until the end of the Fourth Race, when, due to the materiality and corruption of humanity, these functions completely stopped. This happened before the sinking of the main mass of the Atlantis Continent. Another feature of the earliest Atlanteans was the physical structure of their brain that was not sufficiently compacted in a physiological sense. Therefore, the nerve centers could not act during sleep, and the early Atlanteans did not dream. Age was then measured differently, and the age from 500 to 700 years was equal to the modern 50-70 years.

In the middle period of the development of the Atlantean Race, the first war took place on our planet, and the first shedding of human blood. This was the result of the development of man's sight and senses, through which man saw that "the daughters of his brothers, as well as their wives, were more beautiful than his daughters." This resulted in kidnappings and clashes.

Atlanta was varied and numerous. At that time, there were several "humanities", and an almost innumerable number of races and nationalities. There were brown, red, yellow, white and black Atlanteans, giants and dwarfs. In those days, giants really lived on Earth: their height was from 3 to 3.6 m, and their physique was proportional. They possessed superhuman physical strength, which gave them the ability to defend themselves and keep at a distance the giant monsters of the Mesozoic and early Cenozoic period.

Among the Atlanteans there was a "Golden Race". "Golden" were the descendants of the Sons of Wisdom (Sons of "Will and Yoga"). The descendants of the golden race made great strides in all fields of knowledge. But over time, representatives of this race, with a few exceptions, fell into terrible sins and passed away during one of the great floods. Only a small group of the Sons of "Will and Yoga", with a few tribes, survived the great cataclysm. The Chinese race of the present fifth sub-race belongs to the descendants of those few remaining. However, these descendants have changed a lot. The golden hue of their ancestors has been lost, and the current Chinese race has yellow skin.

Geographic Information

During the heyday of civilization, Atlantis was located on a large continent and several islands. Here is what is known about the geography of that time:

The extreme northern parts of the land were then southern. The Ural Mountains and their northern regions were part of the tropical zone. The territory of the modern Sahara desert and the deserts in Mongolia were very fertile and populated. The Nile River flowed into the Atlantic Ocean, although the oceans were located completely differently and were called differently. The central region of modern North America (the Mississippi River basin) was then completely covered by the ocean, there was only a plateau, parts of which are now part of the lands of the states of Nevada, Utah and Arizona. Europe was still in the process of formation and was connected to North Africa by means of an isthmus passing through the Strait of Gibraltar.

The ancient location of Atlantis is now at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The Great Continent was located in southern Asia, stretching from India to Tasmania. The territories along the Atlantic coast of the United States were at that time the coastal lowlands of Atlantis. This continent included all the North and South Atlantic regions, as well as parts of the North and South Pacific Ocean, and had islands in the Indian Ocean (the remnants of Lemuria). The mainland included the Azores, the Canary Islands, as well as many islands and islets scattered from Malaysia to Polynesia, from the Øresund Strait (Sund) to Easter Island. The high mountain range in the Atlantic Ocean basin was the high mountain range of the Atlantic continent.

Development of speech and language

Human speech originated in the first sub-race of the Fourth Root Race.

However, the development of language originates in previous Races. At first, it was only a slight improvement in the various sounds of nature, the cries of giant insects and the first animals. But the real development of the language took place when the Creative Gods began to incarnate among people. All mankind at that time had one single language. Simultaneously with the development of speech, the development of vision as a physical sense took place, while the other four senses remained in a latent, underdeveloped state. The sense of hearing did not develop until the third sub-race. Thus, human “speech”, due to the lack of hearing, was at first something like the mental pronunciation of sounds. "Speech" was associated with "sight", that is, people could understand each other and speak with the help of sight and touch.

The speech developed in the following order:

I. Monosyllabic speech developed at the end of the Third Root Race after the separation of the sexes and the full awakening of the mind. Prior to this, communication was carried out through the "transmission of thought", although thought was still very poorly developed. Language could not develop sufficiently before the full acquisition and development of human cognitive abilities. This monosyllabic language was the father of monosyllabic languages ​​mixed with harsh consonants.

II. Agglutinative speech. These languages ​​were spoken by some of the Atlantean races. Agglutinative speech degenerated and remained as a fragmentary, petrified dialect, now scattered and almost limited to the native tribes of America.

III. Inflectional speech or the root of Sanskrit. This language was the first language and subsequently became the secret language of the Initiates of the Fifth Race. "Semitic" languages ​​are descendants of the first phonetic distortions of early Sanskrit.

The first writing also appeared during the time of Atlantis. The libraries of the Atlanteans kept chronicles written on the dressed skin of gigantic antediluvian monsters. The arts, sciences, theology, and especially the philosophies of all peoples were written down ideographically from the original oral traditions of the Fourth Race, and they were the legacy handed down to it by the Third Root Race.

Achievements of the Atlantean civilization

The Atlanteans were a highly civilized Race.

The beginning of the Fourth Race includes the first use of fire and the discovery of a way to kindle it, as well as the domestication of animals and the beginning of agriculture (the cultivation of cereals, their development from certain wild herbs and the crossing of plants). The beginning of agriculture was laid thanks to the instructions given to mankind by the "Lords of Wisdom". Fruits and cereals, previously unknown on Earth, were brought by Them to Earth from other spheres. For example, wheat has never been found in the wild, as it is not a terrestrial plant. The Atlanteans realized not only the nutritional value of grain, but also the power of its energy. They knew that people who are near the grain receive healing, and the condensed energy of the grain can give a long-term tension. The grain energy engine could propel large ships and various machines. The Egyptian priests, having lost much knowledge over time, nevertheless, remembered the energy of grain and revered wheat as sacred.

The ancients knew astronomy, geodesy, cosmography and cosmogony. They comprehended not only the chemistry of the rays, but also the effective cooperation of the Luminaries. The Atlantean systems of the Zodiac were compiled under the guidance of the first Instructors of mankind. One of them, an Atlantean and a direct descendant of the "Wise Race, the Race that never dies," Asura Maya (Asuramaya) was the greatest astronomer, Giant and Magician. His Zodiacs were used by the Egyptian priests, and the chronology and calculations of the initiated Brahmins are based on his writings.

Scientists of Atlantis discovered the law of action of universal forces, the so-called forces of the “night side of life”, or the negative influences of the earthly spheres, which they widely used for their own needs and for destructive purposes.

The Atlanteans knew the secrets of metals, their connection with certain planets and their manifestations in the Subtle World. Each metal has its own color, and in the Subtle World it can be identified both by smell and by color. The harmonious combination of colors of metals is an indicator of their correct alloy, or connection. Combinations of colored radiations of metals, harmonious or disharmonious, respectively, act on the human aura. In addition, the Atlanteans produced various effects on metals, using the energy of sunlight, enhanced by means of crystals, as well as their combinations. They made extensive use of iron, as well as an alloy of iron and copper. An alloy of copper with a small admixture of iron after quenching acquired extraordinary hardness. Items made from such alloys have been found in Egypt, Peru, and in some places inhabited by the Chaldeans in antiquity. From the Atlanteans, the Aryans inherited mineralogy, the science of the hidden properties of precious and other stones, as well as alchemy, geology and physics.

In the Fourth Race, a high level of scientific and technological progress was achieved. Various mechanisms and automatic devices were widely used in Atlantis. Atlantis discovered a method of transmitting sound and images at a distance, they could receive and transmit messages to other countries. At that time, there was remote photography, reading texts through walls even at a distance, the possibility of transmitting thoughts through the ether was studied, gravity was overcome. Various energy resources were used to provide life's amenities, lighting, heating, vehicles: solar energy, electricity, gas, steam. Electrical, beam and thermal energy were also used for commercial purposes. Developed means of transportation allowed the Atlanteans to move without only within the country, but also fly to other countries. It was from the Fourth Race that the first Aryans learned meteorography and meteorology, as well as aeronautics - Vimana Vidiya - "the art of flying in air carts." Vimanas were set in motion by anti-gravity installations and moving wings.

The Atlanteans were able to collect and store the energy received from large crystals that condense sunlight. This energy was used to control the movement of sea, air and submarine ships, as well as in everyday life - for television and sound recording. The ships of the Atlanteans were set in motion by beams concentrated into narrow beams, emitted by a "fiery stone". A firestone was a large glass cylinder, cut in such a way that the energy that was concentrated between the top and base of the cylinder was centered by the stone at the top of the cylinder. The stone was located in the center of the building, lined from the inside with an insulating material resembling asbestos. The dome above the stone was oval, and part of it moved back to let in the radiation of the stars. Then there was a concentration of these fiery energies, as well as energies of atmospheric and extra-atmospheric origin. The resulting energy could propel vehicles directly and at a distance, and there were practically no obstacles for it: ships could be within sight or out of it, under water or in some kind of shelter. Beams invisible to the eye affected the stones installed in the engines of vehicles that either rose high in the air with gases, or flew low above the ground, or floated on and under water. The stone was brought into an active state only by the Initiates. The same fire regenerated the bodies of people, while the rays from the stone burned out the harmful effects of destructive forces on the body. As a result of irradiation, the physical body was rejuvenated, and life expectancy increased.

In Atlantis, there were high achievements in the field of arts. Artists occupied an honorable social position. The musicians of Atlantis could reproduce all the sounds of nature with the help of instruments. Fine art developed and improved, which, in particular, was used in the decorative and applied field. Buildings and temples were decorated with gems and precious stones Knowledge of divine architectural proportions by the Atlanteans is clearly demonstrated by monuments that have survived to this day - Temples, Pyramids, Cave Sanctuaries, Cromlechs, Tombstones, Thrones. Most of the pyramids known now are the work of the Atlanteans who survived after the immersion of the Atlantean Continents and islands.

"Religion" of the Atlanteans

The third semi-spiritual Race (the Lemurians) was the last bearer of divine and innate Wisdom. At that time the sacred Teaching was common property and "Magic" meant the great Science of Wisdom. At the dawn of their consciousness, people did not have beliefs that could be called religion. The "Sons of Wisdom" animated a part of this Race with a divine spark of the spiritual, higher mind. And the first feeling of animated people was the feeling of unity with its spiritual creators. They became the first conscious beings who "created" a semi-divine man, who became the seed of future Adepts on Earth.

Each person, being endowed with divine powers and feeling his inner God in himself, realized that by nature he is a God-man, although an animal in his physical self. But time and the constant resistance of Matter, in which the “principles” were clothed, weakened this memory in them and extinguished the spark of spirituality and divinity. The struggle between the divine and material nature in man began from the moment of enlightenment by his mind. Those who conquered the lower "principles" by subduing their flesh joined the "Sons of Light". And those who fell victim to their lower natures became the slaves of Matter and from the "Sons of Light and Reason" became the "Sons of Darkness", and the seed of future generations of Atlanteans.

The Atlanteans, the first offspring of semi-divine man after the separation of the sexes, began to worship the God of Matter. It began with the cult of the human and ended with the cult of its respective sexes. At the same time, sexual religion was based on astronomical phenomena. But the Mysteries of Heaven and Earth, revealed to the Third Race by their Heavenly Teachers, degenerated into sorcery, and subsequently resulted in exoteric religions, idolatry full of superstitions, and the cult of man or hero. Simultaneously with the use of destructive means, the fire of the altar was first used for various sacrifices, and eventually human sacrifices. The Atlanteans of the later period were famous for their magical powers and their depravity, ambition and daring challenge against the Gods. The sixth sub-race of the Atlanteans used magic spells even against the sun, and then completely cursed it.

Only a handful of the first people, in whom the spark of Divine Wisdom burned brightly, remained the chosen guardian of the Secrets revealed to man by the Divine Teachers. The Atlantean group, sometimes referred to as the "Light Sons of the Demi-Gods", are terrestrial demi-Gods, many of whom have incarnated in certain groups of the human race, especially in the ruling dynasties of the early ages and in the "Divine people" - among kings and rulers, as well as ministers of science and religion of the Fourth and Fifth Root Races.

The Atlanteans used psychic energy during various rituals. Some of their rituals were preserved by the Druids. For example, the chief priest made a walk against the sun, while the rest of the participants in the ritual went around the circle in the sun. This was the symbol of small and great knowledge. Little knowledge is carried away by ordinary energies, but great knowledge, facing the flow of cosmic forces, gives birth to new energies out of chaos. And these were not abstract symbols, but the basis of real action, for the centers revolving against the sun give a special fiery energy. The doctrine of teraphim and cursed objects also comes from the time of Atlantis. In addition, the Sons of Light, in order to master the universal forces, practiced concentration of thoughts.

Group meditation, joint prayer and concentration of thoughts contributed to the acquisition of innermost knowledge and the achievement of mutual understanding between members of the group.

When knowledge and power became too often misused, it became necessary to limit the number of those who knew. At first, the truth was covered with a thin veil, which had to be more and more condensed as the personality and self spread. This led to the emergence of the Mysteries and Initiations. Initiation was the "Science of Sciences", although it did not contain any rules, principles or any special scientific teaching, but it was the only true Religion. Outwardly, it was a school where sciences, arts, ethics, legislation, philanthropy, a cult of the true and real nature of cosmic phenomena were taught, the practical proof of which was given only at Initiation. Subsequently, the exoteric dogmas were often subject to change, but the sacred inviolability of the original truths, revealed only during the Mysteries of Initiation, was strictly preserved. Even the Egyptian priests, having forgotten a lot over time, did not change anything. The loss of most of the original Teaching was the result of the sudden deaths of some great Hierophants who left the world without having had time to pass on everything to their successors and, mainly, due to the lack of worthy heirs to this knowledge.

The wisdom transmitted by the "Divine Beings", the Adepts of the early Fourth Race, remained in all its primary purity in the Brotherhood (School) located on an Island in the inner sea. Adepts, or "Wise" people, of the Third, Fourth and Fifth Races lived in underground dwellings under the pyramid or under a structure similar to it. The inland sea stretched across Central Asia to the north of the Himalayan range and its western spurs. It was called the "Sea of ​​Knowledge" or learning. It existed from the time of Lemuria until the last, great ice age, when a local cataclysm carried the waters south and west. The Initiates of the Right Path were instructed by the "Sons of God" from this Island, which in its "incomparable beauty had no rival in all the world." There was no communication by sea with the beautiful Island. Communication with him was carried out only through underground passages that stretched in all directions and were known only to the Initiates. In addition, before the first destruction in Atlantis, many people kept in touch with the Guides through verbal communication with the help of the "white stone", which was owned by the priestesses-guardians of the stone.

The duty of the Initiates was to reveal to mankind the useful secrets of Nature: the secret properties of plants, the art of healing the sick and planting brotherly love and mutual help among mankind. Each Initiate had to be able to heal and even bring back to life from an imaginary death (coma). Those who discovered such abilities were raised above the crowds and were regarded as Kings and Initiates.

There were several Divine Dynasties - a number for each Root Race, starting with the Third. The Seven Rulers or Seven Great Dynasties of Divine Kings - the Founders of the Great Brotherhood on the Sacred Isle in the time of Atlantis - are the Guardians of the Trans-Himalayan Citadel in our Race.

The good instructions given by the Initiates of the early races passed into India, Egypt, Greece, China and Chaldea, thus spreading throughout the world. Everything that is good, noble and great in human nature, all divine abilities and aspirations, were cultivated by the Priests-Philosophers, who tried to develop them in their Initiates. Thus, the priests of Egypt were not ministers of religion. In the language of antiquity, the word "priest" is a synonym for the word "philosopher." The establishment of the Egyptian priests was an alliance of wise men who gathered to serve as the center of the realm of truth, to promote its spread and delay its too dangerous dispersion.

Enmity of two forces

During the period of the highest flowering of the Atlantean civilization, humanity was divided into two diametrically opposite paths: the Right path and the Left path. Some worshiped the single invisible Spirit of Nature, the Ray of which a person feels in himself. Others rendered fanatical worship to the spirits of the Earth, the dark, cosmic, anthropomorphized Forces with which they made an alliance. Since then, the Prophets of the Right Path have been systematically persecuted by the Prophets of the Left. The latter, initiating the birth and evolution of the priestly castes, eventually led the world to all exoteric religions.

Atlanteans, supporters of the Left Path, sought to enjoy all sorts of excesses in human relationships and enslaved many, seducing them with material things and satisfaction of carnal desires. Indulging their desires, they used people and material things for selfish purposes, regardless of free will and the opinions of others. They did not think about the consequences, nor about harming the people around them. Most of the Atlanteans, for base, selfish purposes, sought to use metals, gases, liquid air and explosives for their pleasures and whims, extracting the forces contained in them, which can be both creative and destructive. They built temples to counter the Prophets of the Right Path. In the temples, mystics learned the principles of applying spiritual laws to the material world and using divine powers to satisfy their selfish passions.

The strife between these two great forces began because of the legitimacy of using the infinitely powerful spiritual forces and the forces of the natural elements for destructive purposes. At the same time, long-standing divisions escalated due to different points of view on the state of "things" or people of the lower class. Part of the Atlanteans tried to keep these creatures in the position of slaves or robots in order to use them for their own conveniences and pleasures. Others considered them to be on the path of development to higher levels of consciousness. The Atlanteans, supporters of the Right Path, took care of those who were called “things”, helped them to realize the connection of the individual soul with God. They tried to ease the living conditions of these people and achieve a better understanding between them and those in power. They believed that changes or reforms were needed so that every person would have the right to choose and be free. These disagreements culminated in a civil war. During the war, the Atlanteans used paralyzing radiation and used bird-like military aircraft that threw egg-shaped projectiles at enemy troops. The power of shells could destroy a million warriors in an open field. At the same time, the rulers watched the battles with the help of "magic mirrors".

The death of Atlantis

When the civilization of the Atlanteans reached the peak of its development and the sins of the Atlanteans went beyond all measure, people were given warnings about the coming cataclysm due to the abuse of energies.

The creative forces in man were a gift of Divine Wisdom, but for the abuse of creative power, for defiling the divine gift and wasting the vital substance for no other purpose than bestial personal satisfaction, the Atlanteans brought the curse of Karma.

The main reason for the first destruction of the continent was the use of technical achievements by the Sons of Darkness for their own purposes. The impact on the internal zones of the Earth by solar rays directed at crystals in special mines and the use of explosives activated the underground fire of the Earth. As a result, part of the land near the current Sargasso Sea was the first to sink under water. The destructive forces have caused climate change and the activity of the Earth itself. There was a displacement of the earth's axis (a successive violation in the rotation of the earth's axis began during the Paleocene and continued for many centuries). It led to new volcanic eruptions and the division of a single continent into five islands. The main part of Atlantis perished in the first half of the Eocene period. Some of these lands, over time, due to new geological tremors, have become smaller islands.

The authorities made attempts to calm the society and restore order. Partial resettlement of the inhabitants of Atlantis began. During the period between the first and second major cataclysm, the Atlanteans achieved significant scientific and technological progress. However, unrest continued in society, and the strife of the warring groups did not subside.

The second period of cataclysms occurred in the Miocene period. It was caused by destructive forces caused by the fact that the stones installed in different parts of the country to provide energy for all kinds of human activities were mistakenly tuned to very high frequencies. During the second cataclysm, separate sections of the land of the already fragmented Atlantic continent were destroyed. As a result, only the island of Poseidonis, mentioned by Plato, and which is mistaken for the Continent of Atlantis, has survived. The final disappearance of the largest Continent coincided with the rise of the Alps. The Secret Teaching states that most of the later Atlantean islanders perished between 850,000 and 700,000 years ago. It is on this colossal cataclysm, which lasted for 150,000 years, that the legends about all the "floods" are based.

As a result of cataclysms, some people died, some migrated to other territories, but many continued to live in their original places. For a while, everything calmed down. A highly developed civilization continued to exist. At that time, many discoveries were applied, including atomic energy, the yield of grain crops was increased by natural means, much attention was paid to comfortable living conditions. At the behest of the authorities, some interaction was allowed between representatives of the opposition groups in those cases, for example, when they tried to determine how to use the offspring of "things" - as beasts of burden or in adobe and mill work.

Then began the period of invasion and capture of the continent by representatives of the animal kingdom. To discuss plans for defense against land and winged predators in 50,722 B.C. The Great Congress of Specialist Scientists took place. Among the various methods of dealing with animals, it was proposed to use the forces of air, sea and earth elements. The means and methods of dealing with animals developed then had to change the habitat necessary for their life. This began to be carried out in the following way: from the equipment located in the center of the continent, rays were sent to the habitats of animals, which today would be called supercosmic. Other means were developed against the hostile forces of the animal kingdom, including explosives. Means of transporting destruction machines were also created, which could move both in the air and under water. As a result, people began to overcome animal-like creatures, which by that time filled many regions of the Earth. But, despite all the efforts of people, the death of dangerous animals did not occur from their influence, but as a result of the next shift of the poles.

Teachers and Leaders of the Right Path informed the inhabitants of Poseidonis about the coming cataclysm. There were many predictions and omens about the coming destruction. Scientists and Seers advised people to move to other countries in order to save their lives. But most of the Atlanteans did not want to hear and believe in the inevitability of future events. The authorities even established the death penalty for those who pointed to the terrible signs of the times and warned of the catastrophic state of the planet. And when uprisings broke out in one of the cities of Poseidonis, the authorities took actions that caused new destruction.

The final destruction of Atlantis was sudden and powerful. The last island "sank into the water with a terrible roar." During this final destruction, part of the settled lands of Central and South America also submerged, and the coastlines of the Caribbean took on a modern look. This cataclysm took away the last trace of Atlantis, except for Ceylon and a small part of what is now part of Africa.

Resettlement of the Atlanteans

Those who received messages from the Great Teachers and those who believed the warnings were divided into groups and went to other countries. Previously, expeditions were carried out to Egypt, the Pyrenees, Yucatan and the country of Og (Oz). At the same time, a decision was made on the places and methods of preserving the chronicles about the past achievements of the Atlantean civilization and the prospects for its development.

The resettlement took place in stages and in an organized manner under the leadership of leaders with special powers. Among them were the leaders of the groups responsible for the preservation of the chronicles and for the survival of the remainder of the Atlantean race, as well as coordinators and guides.

Most of the Atlanteans went directly to Egypt, others first settled on the territory of modern Spain and Portugal, in particular, in the Pyrenees region. Some of the refugees moved to the lands of the country of Myra, which were located where the modern states of Nevada and Colorado are located. Another part of the Atlanteans went to the lands of modern Yucatan, where the Mayan people lived.

A large group of people from Atlantis and the lands of the Pacific region migrated to South and Central America, as well as to the western part of North America. Several cultures existed in this region. Where Peru is now, there was the land of Oz (or Og). And on the site of the southern part of present-day California, Mexico and the south of the state of New Mexico (USA), the country of Mu was located. The Atlanteans who arrived there tried to continue their former way of life. From them later descended the Incas, or Ohams, who erected fortifications in the mountains, using for this the force discovered by the Atlanteans. The first temples built here were destroyed by earthquakes. Now, many centuries later, the ruins of these temples are found, combining the traditions of the peoples of Mu, Oz and Atlantis.

Atlantis in Egypt

Atlanteans began to move to Egypt long before the death of Poseidonis. In Egypt at that time it was restless. There were riots and uprisings. The priest of Ra-Ta, embroiled in political intrigues that eventually led to an uprising of the indigenous population, was exiled to an island located in the region of modern Ethiopia. The priest was accompanied by guards who were with him throughout his nine-year exile.

The Atlanteans who arrived in Egypt, highly developed scientifically, had little in common with the local population of Egypt. Many native Egyptians of that time were underdeveloped physically, mentally and morally. Therefore, the Atlanteans began to restore their former way of life there. The settlers tried to lay in the minds of the local residents the foundations of their understanding of the relationship with their fellows and with the Divine Forces.

The elite of the ruling class and the leaders of the rebellious masses of Egypt soon realized that the newcomers, with their far superior scientific knowledge and radically different social and religious views, presented a new threat to them. The Egyptians also learned that the Atlanteans ranked many of them in terms of development in the same category as their slaves. In Egypt, riots and riots broke out with renewed vigor. Some Egyptians, including those who rebelled against the pharaoh, made attempts to use the knowledge of the Atlanteans about the summoning of destructive forces.

The country needed a leader who could rally people around him and direct the power of the Atlanteans in a constructive direction. Many Egyptians, and especially supporters of the teachings of the priest, believed that in order to establish mutual understanding between all segments of the population, it was necessary to return the priest Ra-Ta from exile. The local leaders were most interested in his return, because if the Egyptians accepted the Teachings of the Atlanteans, then their role in the spiritual, moral and religious life would become unnecessary. Therefore, they turned to the pharaoh and the authorities with a request to recall the priest from exile. Soon, by decision of the authorities, the priest returned to Egypt. He wore a silver-blue robe with a hood pulled back a little from his head, and girdled with a gold-colored cord with purple tassels, and only one of them was visible.

After the return of the priest, the unification of the country and the recognition of the rights of immigrants from Atlantis began. With his help, criminal law was introduced in the country and laws were adopted in the moral and spiritual field.

Some Atlanteans were distrustful of the activities of the Egyptian priest. However, later, when his goals became clear, they united in helping him. In order to perfectly comprehend the Teachings of the Atlanteans, the priest Ra-Ta visited Poseidonis. Instructions were given to him, following which he stepped aside from external affairs and entered the state of healing and purification of himself through continuous prayer, unceasing striving and disclosure of internal forces. Thus, there was a rejuvenation of the priest, the elimination of age-related features and conditions that prevented his vigorous activity.

When the priest regained his strength and rights, carefully studied and accepted the principles of the Teachings of the Atlanteans, he proceeded to the distribution of people. The entire population was divided into groups according to their ability to prepare for various types of service. Atlanteans, Egyptians, and people from the priest's entourage were subjected to classification. At the same time, the selection of people who enjoy the authority of spiritual mentors began. The priest selected a wide variety of people for this role, regardless of their position in the political, economic or any other field of activity.

Then medical care was introduced, medical, health and educational institutions were created, where people were trained for various types of work: in mines, in the fields, in the field of art, trade, etc. Those in need were assisted by psychoanalysts.

At the initiative of the priest, institutions began to be created in which "things", that is, human slaves, could be trained and receive medical care. In this regard, the Temple of Sacrifice and the Temple of Beauty were erected. The Temple of the Sacrifice was intended for the experimental study and correction of the physical body, and in the Temple of Beauty spiritualization took place, the determination of a suitable type of activity or type of service, as well as individual preparation for it.

In the Temple of Sacrifice, the provisions and principles of Atlantean experiential knowledge were applied. So, to prepare people for work in the Temple, suggestion was used in combination with sedative medicines. In other cases, surgery or techniques have been used using invisible energies, chemical and electrical forces, and mixtures of elements from the mineral kingdom. Thus, in the Temple of the Sacrifice, the bodies of people were cleansed of appendages, which were the result of past violations in relations between people, prevented their transformation and could cause various mental deviations. These changes gave people not only the opportunity to live more fruitful lives, but also strengthened their connection with the Higher Powers. Teachers explained to people who had undergone purification in the Temple of Sacrifice the relationship between the quality of thinking and the materialization of appendages on the physical body. These changes were to affect future generations as well. The intention of the priest was to select people in whom a higher race could be embodied, endowed with better opportunities for the realization of lofty goals.

The Egyptian temples were similar to the temples of Atlantis both in the structure of the altars and in the decorations. There were works of painting and graphics that contributed to the manifestation in a person of the qualities necessary for the development of character, aspirations and the achievement of goals in his activity, and also served as a role model for people. Music, song, and dance were used in temple worship to change the characteristics of individuals and groups of people. Teachers through special rituals revealed to people the meaning of the Laws and the operation of the Single Creative Energy. People who underwent purification in the Temples were provided with comfortable housing and work. They were assisted in arranging family life and choosing a profession.

The Atlanteans were very responsible for the preservation of historical documents and archives. As mentioned above, the leaders of Atlantis, in order to preserve experience and knowledge, documentary chronicles about the Atlantean civilization were brought to Egypt. At the same time, historians (Egyptians and Atlanteans) carried out archaeological excavations and studied ancient chronicles. To preserve all these records and priestly archives, a form of the language of historical chronicles was developed, which combined hieroglyphs both ancient Egyptian and those belonging to the Atlanteans. At the same time, the construction of buildings for the storage of archives began.

To date, the chronicles of the civilization of the Atlanteans are stored in three places: one is located on the sunken mainland of Atlantis, which should soon rise; the second - in the Yucatan, where the shadow of the temple falls on him; the third - in Egypt, in the Hall of Chronicles. The Egyptian cache is located between the Sphinx and the river where a line of shadow (or light) falls between the legs of the Sphinx as the sun rises over the waters of the Nile.

In 10490 BC the construction of the House of Initiation or the "Pyramid of Understanding" (the pyramid of Cheops) began, which ended in 10390 BC. You can read more about this and other pyramids in the article "

Somewhat later, in 10300 BC. in Egypt, the Library of Knowledge was founded in the place where the city of Alexandria later arose.

The influence of the priest and the help of the Atlanteans greatly contributed to the beginning of the period of material and spiritual prosperity of Egypt. Although the level of scientific development of that time decreased in comparison with that which was achieved in Atlantis in the period between the second catastrophe and before the final destruction, it nevertheless remained quite high. Trade relations were established with many countries, in particular, with China, India and Indochina. The Egyptians exchanged grain for incense, spices, gold and animals imported from other countries. An alliance was achieved between the pharaoh, the priest, the Atlanteans, and some of the spiritual teachings of other countries were adopted. People strove to prepare themselves for serving their brothers and humanity as a single, fraternal collective. As a result of the cooperation of various groups of people in Egypt, educators appeared who sought to spread their knowledge throughout the world. Thus, Egypt became for other peoples a source of spiritual knowledge, which made it possible to build one of the greatest civilizations.

Conclusion

As you can see, the state of the Atlantean civilization before its death is very reminiscent of what is happening in the modern world: high achievements of science are used for selfish and destructive purposes, wars do not stop on the planet, witchcraft is spreading, a complete decline in morality and morality, the Great Teachings are distorted beyond recognition, etc. . Just as in the time of Atlantis, warnings are given to mankind, but most do not hear them. Already the planet itself is trembling: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, natural disasters have become more frequent, climate change is taking place. In recent decades, the expectation of the "end of the world" has become popular, and many hypotheses have appeared about the "transition of the Earth into another dimension", "quantum transition", etc. In reality, none of this will happen, but it will end p; The Cycle of the Aryan Race and a new Cycle of human evolution will begin. Cataclysms are inevitable, but their power depends on the spiritual state of mankind. And neither power, nor money, no shelters, and bunkers will not save a person mired in vices.

Our Aryan Race began in Asia a million years ago and developed in the far north, although after the sinking of the mainland of Atlantis, its tribes moved further south into Asia. At present, all races simultaneously exist on earth, starting from the last sub-race of the Third Race and up to the Root Six. The greater part of mankind belongs to the last sub-race of the Fourth Race. Of course, almost all Europeans should be attributed to the Fifth with its subdivisions. The highest spiritual type of people on Earth belongs to the first sub-race of the fifth root race - these are the Aryan Asians. And the highest race in the physical mind is the last (seventh) sub-race of the Fifth Race.

Representatives of the Sixth Race appear in different parts of the Earth. But the main core of the future Root Race gathers in a certain place, and by the time of the shift of the Races, its carriers will gather to this protected place.

At the change of Races, the Great Revelation is always given, and, as always, only people whose consciousness already belongs to the next stage of development or to the coming race, can fully perceive it. The rest will use as much as they can. No need to think that all other races will be destroyed. The best will be saved and some may even flourish. Only scum that cannot go with evolution will leave or finally degenerate. We see an example of such degeneration in many savages. So the natives of Australia are the degenerate descendants of the sub-races that once belonged to the great Third Race.

The Fifth Race will be transformed mentally, physically and in stature, but more slowly than its new successor. The last remnants of the fifth Continent (Europe) will disappear only some time after the birth of a new Race, when the Sixth Continent will appear above the new waters on the surface of our planet. All those who are lucky enough to escape the general calamity will move there. But the final cataclysm will be preceded by many small sinkings and destruction, both by water and underground volcanic fires.

The first cataclysms will occur in the South Pacific. Then, subsidence and uplift of land will begin to be observed in different parts of the globe.

In the Arctic and Antarctic there will be shifts in the earth's crust, which will lead to volcanic eruptions in the tropical zone. This will be followed by a shift in the position of the poles, and as a result, the polar or subtropical zones can become tropics. Faults in the earth's crust will occur in many places: first - on the west coast of America, then the northern part of Greenland will go under water, and new lands will appear in the Caribbean. From destructive earthquakes the entire territory of South America will tremble up to Tierra del Fuego, where a new land and a new strait are being formed. The territory of the western part of America will be split, many areas of the east coast will disappear, and new land will appear around it. Most of Japan will go under water. In the blink of an eye, the northern part of Europe will change. The British Isles will be destroyed by fire (submarine volcanoes) and water. France and other European countries will face the same fate. New lands will appear in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and many coastal areas will become the bottom of the ocean. Poseidonis will be one of the first sites of Atlantis to rise to the surface.

New lands will arise with a new world order and with a new course of events.

Notes

1. Tertiary period - according to current terminology, a period of time that began at the beginning of the Paleocene and lasted until the end of the Pliocene; it is divided into Paleogene and Neogene.

2. “The Casey phenomenon is a wonderful phenomenon. Of course, it happened under the Beam of the Forces of Light. Casey himself was an unusually morally pure person, it is difficult to find a substitute for him. Such conductors, mediators are needed, but without inner purity it is impossible to have such a lofty, amazing manifestation of the Forces of Light.” (04/28/1949 Letters from Helena Roerich)

“Such phenomena occur under the supervision and with the blessing of the Forces of Light in order to awaken the consciousness of people to the Higher Consciousness, based on moral purity and the aspiration of the spirit to serve humanity.” (11/28/1950 E.I. Roerich)

3. Geochronological scale

Certain aspects of the esoteric teaching about the ancient civilizations of the planet, the evolutionary types of mankind (the so-called races and subraces) unknown to official historical science, as well as some patterns in the development of human history related to the problem of Atlantis, are covered in detail in one of the letters of Kut-Khumi A P. Sinnett.

“(…) Humanity of our fourth great circle has one great cycle of development; also have its races and subraces. (…) Remember, you belong to the fifth race, but still you are only a western sub-race. Despite your efforts, what you call civilization is limited only to the latter and its offshoots in America. (...) A student of occultism should not talk about the ossified consciousness of the peoples of the fourth race, for history knows almost nothing about this state "before the beginning of modern progress" of other nations, except the Western ones. What do you know about America, for example, before the Spaniards invaded this country? Less than two centuries before the arrival of Cortés, there was the same striving for progress between the sub-races of Peru and Mexico as is now observed in Europe and the United States of America. Their sub-race ended in almost complete annihilation due to the causes generated by it; the same will happen to yours at the end of her cycle. We can speak of the "ossified state" into which, following the law of development, growth, maturity and decline, each race and sub-race falls during its transitional period. It is only with the latter state that your General History is acquainted, remaining in the highest degree ignorant even of the state in which India was some ten centuries ago. Your sub-races are now rushing to the top of their respective cycles. History, however, does not go further back than before the periods of decline of several other sub-races, belonging for the most part to the previous fourth race. And what is the area and period of time captured by its World Eye? In the greatest extent of a few paltry dozens of centuries, a mighty horizon, indeed! Behind this - the darkness of ignorance and nothing but hypotheses!

Question 2.Was there such a great in terms of intellectual development, civilization, as ours, during the time that people of the fourth large circle lived on Earth?

Answer. Undoubtedly there was. Egyptian and Aryan sources, especially your tables of the Zodiac, provide us with all the evidence, besides our inner knowledge. Civilization is a heritage, an ancestral heritage that passes from race to race along the ascending and descending path of cycles. During the infancy of one sub-race, it is guarded by its predecessors, who usually die out when the first reaches perfection. At first, most of them mismanage their wealth, squander it or leave it untouched in the chests of their ancestors. They spurn the advice of their elders and prefer, like boys, to play in the street rather than study and extract as much as possible from the untouched wealth laid up for them in the Records of the Past. Thus, during your transition period - the Middle Ages - Europe rejected the evidence of antiquity, calling such wise men as Herodotus and other learned Greeks "fathers of lies", until they became more aware and changed this nickname to "fathers of history."

Instead of neglecting, you are now collecting and adding to your wealth. Like every other race, you have had your ups and downs, your periods of glory and infamy, your dark midnights, and now you are approaching your brilliant noon. The youngest of the family of the fifth race, you have been for centuries unloved and neglected by Sandrillon in your own home. And now, when so many of your sisters have died, and others are still dying, while the few old ones left are waiting for their Messiah - the sixth race, to rise to new life and walk again with the strongest on the path of a new cycle; now that the western Sandrillon has suddenly become a proud rich princess, a beauty we all admire, how does she act? She turned out to be less kind-hearted than the Princess in the fairy tale. Instead of offering to his older, more offended sister (the oldest in fact, for she is almost "a million years old", and the only one who never treated her badly, although, perhaps, did not notice her) - instead of offer her a "kiss of peace", she applies to her lex talionrs with a vindictiveness that does not exalt her natural beauty. This is by no means an exaggerated allegory, but a story.

Question 3. Even the fifth race (ours) of the fourth great round began in Asia a million years ago. What happened to her during the 998,000 years leading up to the last 2000? Did greater civilizations rise and fall during that period?

Answer. The fifth race - ours - began in Asia a million years ago. What was she for 998,000 years before the last 2000 years? An apt question, posed, moreover, in an entirely Christian spirit that refuses to believe that anything good could have happened anywhere, ever, except in Nazareth. What did she do? She was busy enough, as she is now, to beg the forgiveness of Mr. Grant Allen, who would place our primitive ancestor, primitive man, in the early period of the Eocene Age. Truly, your learned writers climb their hypotheses with the utmost fearlessness, as far as I can see. It will be truly deplorable to see how one day their fiery, ardent horses will begin to kick and break their necks, which is completely inevitable in the future. In the Eocene period, even in its "very first half", the great cycle of the fourth race - Atlanta - had already reached its climax, and the great continent, the father of almost all the continents now in existence, showed the first signs of subsidence, a process which continued 11,446 years ago. when his last island (translating its local name, we can call it Poseidonis) sank into the water with a terrible roar. By the way, whoever reviews Donelly's Atlantis is right: Lemuria can no more be confused with the Atlantean continent than Europe with America. Both sank and were flooded with all their high culture and "Gods", however, both catastrophes were separated by a short period of about 700,000 years. Lemuria prospered and ended its run just about this little time before the early period of the Eocene Age, as its race was the third. Try to see the remnants of this once great nation in some of the flat-headed natives of Australia. The criticism that rejects the attempt to populate India and Egypt with the remains of Atlantis is fair. No doubt your geologists are very knowledgeable.

But why not assume that under the continents they changed and explored, in the depths of which they found the Eocene age and forced it to betray their secrets to them, other, much older continents, whose layers have never been geologically have been investigated, and that they may one day completely reverse their present theories, thus illustrating the great truths connected with inductive generalization, as opposed to their illusory assumptions. Why not admit - in fact, none of them ever thought of it - that our present continents, like Lemuria and Atlantis, have already been flooded many times and have had time to reappear and carry new groups of humanity or civilizations. And that with the first great geological uplift in the next cataclysm (in a series of periodic cataclysms that occur from the beginning to the end of each great circle), our already exposed continents will sink, while Lemuria and Atlantis will rise again. Think of the future geologists of the sixth and seventh races - imagine them digging deep into the bowels of what was Ceylon or Simla, and finding the utensils of the Vedahs or the distant ancestors of the civilized plowmen - all the objects of the civilized part of humanity that inhabited these areas will be reduced to dust by huge masses of moving glaciers during the next ice age.

Imagine them finding only such crude tools and utensils as are now found among savage tribes, and thereby declaring that during this period primitive man climbed and slept in trees and sucked marrow from animal bones. And from this the conclusion will follow that in the year 1882 from the Nativity of Christ, humanity was an animal-like people, black-faced and bearded, with protruding jaws and large sharp wolf teeth. True, some representative of the sixth race, perhaps, will not be far from the true facts in his conjectures that during the "Simla period" these teeth were used in the battles of "males" for straw widows - but in this case the metaphor will be very small. concern anthropology and geology. That is your science.

Let's get back to your questions. Of course, the periods of the highest civilizations of the fourth race, such as the Greek, Roman, and even Egyptian, are nothing in comparison with those civilizations that began with the third race. The representatives of the second race were not savages, but they could not be called civilized either. And now, reading one of my first letters about races (this question was first touched upon by M.), please do not accuse him or me of any new contradictions. Re-read it and understand that it completely bypasses the question of civilizations and mentions only the degenerate remnants of the fourth and third races and gives you the latest conclusions of your own science in confirmation. Don't treat inevitable incompleteness as incompatibility. You now ask me direct questions, and I answer them. The Greeks and Romans were small sub-races, while the Egyptians are part and parcel of our "Caucasian family". Look at Egypt and India. Having reached the highest civilization and the development of science, both began their descent. The Egyptians, as a certain sub-race, disappear completely (her Copts are the remnants of hybrids). India, as one of the most powerful offshoots of the main race, made up of many sub-races that still exist, is struggling to take its place once more in History.

History contains only a few vague glimpses of Egypt, about 12,000 years ago, when, having already reached the top of its cycle (a thousand years earlier), it began to descend. What does she know or can she know about India 5,000 years ago or about the Chaldeans, whom she mixes with the Assyrians, making them either "Akkadians" or "Turanians"! And therefore we say - your History is on the high seas. We are denied by the Journal of Science; his words, repeated and quoted by M. A. Oxon with an enthusiasm worthy of a great medium, do not recognize our right to any “higher knowledge”. “Suppose the Brothers would say: “Point your telescope at such and such a point in the sky, and you will find a planet hitherto unknown; or: dig the earth there and you will find a mineral, etc. Fine indeed, and suppose this is done - what will be the result? Well, of course, the accusation of plagiarism, when everything like that, “every planet and mineral”, which only exists in space and in the bowels of the Earth, is known and registered in our books a thousand years ago; nay, many true hypotheses have been timidly put forward by our scientists, and continually refuted by the majority, whose preconceived opinion they interfere with. Your intentions are commendable, but nothing I can answer you will be accepted from us.

Each time it is discovered that "this is indeed so", the discovery will be attributed to the one who will back up the proof with facts, as was the case with Copernicus and Galileo - the latter used the manuscripts of the Pythagoreans. But back to "civilizations". Do you know that the Chaldeans were at the height of their occult glory before what you call the "Bronze Age"? That the "sons of Hell" or children of Light preceded by hundreds of centuries the "Age of Iron", which was already an ancient age when what you now call a historical period (probably because what is known about it is usually not history, but fiction), hardly just begun. We argue that much higher civilizations than ours have been created and destroyed. It is not enough to say, like some of our writers, that there was a bygone civilization before Rome and Athens were founded. We claim that there were a series of civilizations before as well as after the Ice Age; that they existed in different parts of the globe, reached the apogee of glory and died. There was not the slightest recollection of the Assyrian and Phoenician civilizations until the discoveries of recent years were made. And now they are reopening far from one of the early pages in the history of mankind. These civilizations are not so ancient compared to the most archaic ones. But even their existence history is afraid to admit. Archeology has sufficiently proved that man's memories go far beyond what historical science has admitted, and the secret achievements of once powerful nations, preserved by their heirs, are even more trustworthy. We are talking about civilizations before the ice age, and from the point of view of not only the ignoramus, but also a highly educated geologist, our statement sounds ridiculous. What would you then say to our assertion that the Chinese (I am now talking about inner China, real Chinese, and not a hybrid mixture between the fourth and fifth races now occupying the throne - natives who belong to their unmixed nationality to the highest and last branch

fourth race) reached their highest civilization when the fifth race had scarcely appeared in Asia, and when its first offshoots were still in projection. When it was? Calculate. You will not believe that we, having such great chances against the acceptance of our doctrine, will deliberately invent races and sub-races, if they were not an irrefutable fact. The group of islands on the Siberian coast, discovered by Nordenskold, was found strewn with the remains of horses, rams, bulls, etc. among giant bones of elephants, mammoths, rhinos and other monsters belonging to a period when man - your science says - has not yet appeared on the ground. How can horses and rams be found in combination with huge antediluvian creatures? The horse, as we are taught in school, is a completely new invention of Nature, and no man has ever seen his pedactul (ancestor). The group of Siberian Islands can expose this convenient theory as a lie. The region now fettered by eternal winter and uninhabited by man, that most fragile of animals, had, as will soon be proved, not only a tropical climate - something that your science knows and does not dispute - but was also the foundation of the oldest civilization of the fourth race. , the highest remnants of which we find in the degenerated Chinese, and the lowest (to the ignorant scientist) are mixed with the remnants of the third race. I have already told you that the highest (spiritually) type of people on Earth belongs to the first sub-race of the fifth root race - these are the Aryan Asians. The highest race (physical mind) is the last sub-race of the fifth race, you yourselves, white conquerors. The majority of humanity belongs to the seventh sub-race of the fourth root race; the aforementioned Chinese, Malays, Mongols, Tibetans, Javanese, etc., and the remnants of other sub-races of the fourth race. All these are the fallen and destroyed representatives of humanity, the direct descendants of highly civilized nations, the names and memory of which have been preserved only in such books as the Popol Vuh, and in several others unknown to science.

Question 4. What era does the existence of the continent of Atlantis belong to, and is the cataclysm that caused its destruction (...) connected with the obscurations * that take their place in the cycle of evolution of Manvantara?

Answer. to the Miocene epoch. Everything happens at its specified time and in the specified place in the evolution of large circles, otherwise it would be impossible, even for the best clairvoyant, to calculate the exact hour and year when certain cataclysms, large or small, should occur. All the Adept could do was predict the approximate time; then so now events which are reflected in great geological changes can be predicted with the same mathematical precision as eclipses and other phenomena in space. The sinking of Atlantis (a group of continents and islands) began during the Miocene period (as there is now a gradual sinking of some of your continents) - and it culminated first in the final disappearance of the largest continent - an event coinciding with the rise of the Alps, then with the last of the beautiful islands mentioned by Plato. The Egyptian priests of Sais told his ancestor Solon that Atlantis (the only large island left) had perished 9,000 years before their time. This number was not fictitious, for they carefully preserved their achievements for thousands of years. But then, I say, they only mentioned Poseidonis and would never have revealed their secret chronology even to the great Greek legislator. Since there are no geological reasons to doubt this, on the contrary, there are a lot of facts to accept this information, science has finally recognized the existence of great continents and archipelagos, and thus the truth of another "fable" has been confirmed. It teaches now, as you know, that Atlantis, or the remnants of it, continued into post-Tertiary times, and that their final sinking took place in the Paleozoic ages of American history! So what! Truth and fact should be grateful even for such small favors, in view of the absence of such for many centuries. Deep studies of the seas, especially by the Challenger, fully confirmed the reports of geology and paleontology. A great event - the triumph of our "Sons of Light", the inhabitants of Shambhala (then still an island in the Central Asian Sea) over the selfish and vicious magicians of Poseidonis - happened exactly 11,446 years ago. Read in this connection the incomplete and partly veiled narrative in Isis, Volume I, and some things will become clearer to you. Donelly's corroboration of this tradition and history is, in the main, correct, but you will find all this, and much more, in Isis.

Question 5. I find that one of the most frequent questions asked about occult philosophy by fairly intelligent people who are beginning to be interested in it is the question, is there any explanation given in occult philosophy for the origin of evil? This is the point that you previously promised to touch upon, and which, perhaps, should be taken up in the near future.

Answer. Undoubtedly, it is given, and I touched on this subject a long time ago. In my notes on Hume's manuscript of On God, which he kindly adds to our philosophy (something that the latter never intended), this subject has often been touched upon. Didn't he let you look at those notes? For you, I can expand my explanations, but not before you read what I wrote about the origin of good and evil in the margins of that manuscript. I have said enough for our present purposes. Oddly enough, I found a European author - the greatest materialist of his time, Baron de Holbach, whose views completely coincide with the views of our philosophy, reading his "Essais sur la Nature", I could imagine that in front of me is our book "Kinti" ( …) M. thinks that for your purposes it is better that I give you a few more details on Atlantis, as this is very much connected with evil, if not with its origin. In the following Theosophist you will find one or two notes appended to Hume's translation of Eliphas Levi's "Preface" in connection with the vanished continent. (…) What can I add to what has already been said? I am not in a position to give you purely scientific information, as we will never fully agree with the Western conclusion, and our doctrines will be rejected as "unscientific". Yet geology and paleontology bear witness to much that we can say. Of course, your science is right in many generalizations, but its premises are wrong.

For example, she is right that during the formation of America, ancient Atlantis was sinking, gradually collapsing; but she is wrong neither in the epochs she gives, nor in the calculation of the length of the period of this subsidence. The last is the future fate of your British Isles, first on the list of victims to be destroyed by fire (submarine volcanoes) and water. France and other countries will follow suit. When they reappear, the last seventh sub-race of the sixth root race of present humanity will flourish in Lemuria and Atlantis, which will reappear by that time. Their reappearance will immediately follow the disappearance of the present islands and continents. Very few seas and large waters will then be found on our Earth, waters, just like the earth, appear and disappear, changing periodically, each in its turn. Trembling in anticipation of new accusations of "contradictions" with some incomplete message, I better explain what I want to say by this. The approach of each new obscuration is always heralded by cataclysms - fire or water. But besides this, each minor circle or root-race must also be cut in two, so to speak, by one or the other. Thus, having reached the peak of their development and glory, the fourth race - the Atlanteans were destroyed by water, and you find only their degenerates, decadent remains, whose sub-races, nevertheless, had their victorious days of glory and relative greatness. You will become what They are now - the law of cycles is one and unchanging. When your race - the fifth - reaches the zenith of its physical and mental development, develops the highest civilization (remember the difference we make between material and spiritual civilizations) and is unable to rise higher in its cycle, its movement towards absolute evil will be stopped in the same way. , as at one time its predecessors - the Lemurians and Atlanteans, people of the third and fourth races, were stopped in their development, besides one of the natural changes that had the character of a cataclysm. The great civilization of your race will be destroyed and all its sub-races will begin to descend in their respective cycles after a short period of glory and learning.

Pay attention to the remnants of the Atlanteans - the ancient Greeks and Romans (the modern representatives of these nations belong to the fifth race), how great and how short were the days of their fame and glory. For they were but sub-races of the seven offshoots of the root-race. A root race, no more than its sub-races and offshoots, is permitted by the One Ruling Law to violate the prerogatives of the race or sub-races that follow it, and least of all to seize the knowledge and powers accumulated for its successor. "You will not eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil that grows for your heirs." This tree is guarded by us, which is entrusted to us by the Dhyan Chohans, the Protectors of our race and the Guardians of those who will come. Try to understand the allegory and never lose sight of the hints given to you in my letter about the Planetary Spirits. At the beginning of each great circle, when humanity appears under completely different conditions than those that were at the birth of each new race and its subraces, one Planetary Spirit must enter into communication with these primitive people, refresh their memory and reveal to them the truths that they known in previous circles. Hence the confused traditions about Jehovah, Ormuzd, Osiris, Brahma and tutti quanti. But this happens only when a new race arises. It is the duty of the last race to find suitable successors among her sons, who are "chosen," to use the biblical expression, as a vessel to contain the full store of knowledge by the races and posterity until the completion of this circle. (…)

Each race has had its Adepts, and with each new race we are permitted to give as much of our knowledge as the people of that race deserve. The last, seventh race will have its own Buddha, as each of its predecessors had it. But its Adepts will be much higher than the Adepts of the modern race, for among them will be the Planetary Spirit, Dhyan-Chohan, whose duty is to “enlighten” the memory of the first race of the fifth circle of people after the coming “blackout” of this planet. en passant to show you that not only are races not invented by us, but they are the cardinal dogmas of the Buddhist lamaists and all those who study our esoteric doctrine, I am sending you an explanation in one or two pages of Rhys Davids' Buddhism, which are otherwise incomprehensible, meaningless and absurd. This is written with the express permission of the Chohan (my Master) for your benefit. No Orientalist has ever suspected what truth it contains - you are the first person in the West (outside of Tibet) to whom this is now being explained. (…)” (“PM”, 92.)

Let us now turn to the artistic interpretation of the problem of the vanished continent. In the book “Initiation” by E. Haych, already known to us, the history of bygone races and civilizations is described as follows:

“Once upon a time there lived a race of people on Earth, different from those that live now. The law of the spirit was fully manifested in them, and not the law of matter, as in people living now. They were conscious on the divine plane and manifested God here on Earth without any admixture of selfish bodily qualities. Because of their divine purity, they have earned the name "Sons of God."

Their life was completely determined by spiritual love and selflessness. They had no instinctive physical desires and passions that would cast a shadow on their spirit. People of this high race owned all the secrets of nature. Knowing perfectly well about their powers and abilities and keeping them completely under the control of consciousness, they could use them to control and manage nature. Their knowledge was limitless, and they did not need to earn their bread by physical labor. Instead of working hard, they used the forces of nature. Knowing the secrets of nature, matter, mind and their own essence, they also possessed the secrets of transforming force into matter and matter into force. And they designed such devices and tools with which they could save and use not only the forces of nature, but also their spiritual forces. They lived in happiness and peace as the dominant race on Earth.

However, along with them, at the same time, other beings lived on Earth, similar to the Sons of God, but with much more material bodies and at a much lower level of spiritual development. They lived in the jungle, fighting with Nature, with each other and with wild animals. These people completely identified consciousness with their body. The race of the sons of man now in our country is the result of the crossing of these two ancient races.

Now the Earth is going through a period when the process of materialization is progressing. This means that the divine creative force is moving further and further into the depths of matter, and the power on Earth is falling into the hands of more and more material races, which were once ruled by higher, more spiritual races. The representatives of these higher races are gradually dying out, they leave the material plane for the spiritual and leave humanity to itself for many and many millennia, so that it can climb up on its own without any visible guidance.

And, finally, this race of cavemen, in accordance with divine laws, will begin to rule the Earth. Before leaving the Earth, however, the superior race will infuse its forces into the inferior, and according to the laws of heredity, this will allow the inferior race - after a very long period of development - to rise again from matter. That is why many sons of a superior race made the great sacrifice of begetting children from the daughters of a primitive man. Thus a new type of people developed, new races arose.

The divine power of the Sons of God and the physical powers of the daughters of man produced different types of offspring. On the one hand, there were physical giants among them: on the maternal side, they received a primitive brain, and on the paternal side, a spiritual force, which, acting on the material plane, created bodies of enormous strength and strength. Thanks to their great physical strength, they defeated the weaker ones, and their bestial inclinations and needs turned them into tyrants that instilled fear.

On the other hand, there were spiritual giants among them, who manifested their inherited creative power through the higher centers of the brain, and not on the lower physical plane. Their task was to guide and teach for a certain time both the lower and hybrid races. They taught these two races wisdom, sciences and arts as the foundations of a higher civilization. In addition, they gave these two races examples of divine universal love, selflessness and spiritual greatness. That is why despotism and tyranny now reign in some countries, while others are governed with love and wisdom. Gradually, this state of affairs will disappear, and humanity will learn about these great initiates and about their secret sciences only from historical records, traditions and legends. But even in the darkest period of human history, according to the laws of heredity, it will be possible for the Son of God to be born in a human body in order to show humanity the way out of darkness and suffering.

The continent that was the Home of the Sons of God was completely destroyed, and gradually there were fewer and fewer descendants of the divine race. They left their mortal bodies and did not incarnate again. Finally, there are only a few of them left in different parts of the Earth.

However, due to the crossing of the two races, new individuals arose with the knowledge of the magic of their fathers and with the bestial selfishness of their mothers. They managed to get into the temple and, thanks to their spiritual powers, receive initiation. But they reduced their knowledge to black magic and used both their own and natural forces, which they controlled with the help of instruments and equipment in the temple, for selfish purposes.

The Sons of God who remained in that part of the earth saw that this would lead to total destruction, since the forces used with diabolical selfishness instead of divine disinterestedness would ruthlessly destroy both black magicians and everything around. So they built ships, closed on all sides and impervious even to the forces that destroy matter, loaded into them a few tools and instruments, their families, domestic animals and sailed - some to the north, others to the east, third to the south, and fourth to the west, to the country where we now live.

Soon the black magicians lost control of their tools. They had to conduct the higher cosmic divine forces into these instruments and keep them there, since the only source of this power on Earth is the human being itself. But the more selfish these people became, the more the current with which they charged the tools for later use changed.

When the Sons of God were already far away, tragedy broke out. One of the black magicians accidentally introduced into his body a force that destroys matter, that is, transforms matter into another form of energy. And this process, once started, goes on without stopping until everything around dematerializes. Thus an entire continent was destroyed. Finally, the process of disintegration stopped, and the continent, turned into radiation energy, first rose into the upper layers of the earth's atmosphere, and then again turned into the primary form of matter. After further transformation processes, this entire gigantic mass again fell to the ground in the form of an endless stream of water, mud and sand. Ocean waves rolled over giant clefts in the body of the Earth, the earth's surface split, the continental masses of the other hemisphere, split into pieces by a terrible earthquake, diverged farther and farther apart to restore balance on the Earth, until they took their present place. Part of the destroyed continent is now in our country in the form of a huge sandy desert, and there is a danger that the winds will blow away these mountains of sand and it will cover the fertile inhabited areas.

The Sons of God on the ships had special equipment to keep the ships in balance at all times, so they survived the disaster. Finally, they moored in different parts of the earth, where they laid the foundation for a new civilization. With their wisdom and love, they won the hearts of the natives and became rulers. They were worshiped and revered as gods or demigods. The first actions of the Sons of God in new places were the construction of buildings impervious to external influences, where they could store tools charged with powerful all-penetrating energy. These buildings, called pyramids, can now be seen in those parts of the earth where the Sons of God arrived.

We still have some of these tools with which we can control the force of the earth's gravity, neutralizing or increasing it at will. Depending on the need, we can make objects weightless or heavier than usual. When we make a huge stone block weightless, even a child can move it with his little finger - this is how the pyramids were erected by the Sons of God.

Where the Sons of God arrived, a high civilization arose, and where they still rule, they lead people with selfless love and self-sacrifice, remaining here on earth to teach people and transmit spiritual powers. (E. Haych, Initiation, pp. 62-65.)

The reasons for the death of Atlantis are also set out in the fundamental works of H. P. Blavatsky - "Isis Unveiled" and "The Secret Doctrine". Here is how the tragedy that befell the Atlantean race is described in Isis Unveiled:

“Tradition conveys, and the records of the Great Book explain, that long before the days of Adam and his inquisitive wife Eve [where] now only salt lakes and bare deserts are found, there was a vast inland sea that stretched over Central Asia north of proud Himalayan range and its western extension. And there was an island, in its incomparable beauty, without equal in the world: it was inhabited by the last remnants of a race of people that preceded our race. This race could live equally comfortably in water, air or fire, since it had unlimited power over the elements [of nature]. They were "Sons of God" - not those who saw human daughters, but real Elohim, although in the Eastern "Kabbalah" they have a different name. And it was they who conveyed to people the most prophetic secrets of nature and revealed to them the wonderful, unpronounceable now lost "name" (...) The hierophants of all the clergy schools were aware of the existence of this island, but only Iava Aleim, or the head of each school, knew the "word", and he passed it on to his heir only at the time of death. There were many such schools, and the old classics tell about them.

We have already seen that one of the ubiquitous traditions accepted by all the ancient peoples was that which says that there were many races of men preceding our present race. Each of them was different from the previous one, and each of them disappeared when the next one appeared. The Laws of Manu clearly mentions six races, one after the other. (…)

There was no communication with the beautiful island by sea, but only through underground passages known only to the heads; these passages extended in all directions. Tradition points to many majestic ruins of India - Ellora, Elephanta and the caves of Ajanta (Chandor Range), which once belonged to the aforementioned schools, and to which [they] were connected by such underground passages. Who can say about the lost Atlantis - which is also mentioned in the "Secret Book" (...) - that it no longer existed in those days?

((H. P. Blavatsky. "Isis Unveiled", vol. 1. m 1992, pp. 491-493.))

It is easy to see that in this case we are talking about the island of Shambhala, on which at that time the representation of the cosmic Hierarchy of Light was located. The civilization of Atlantis still existed in those days, but had already fallen under the control of black magicians, or adepts of the forces of evil, the origin of which we have already touched upon. Regarding the moral orientation of adepts initiated into esoteric knowledge and their involvement in the Hierarchies of Light or Darkness, H. P. Blavatsky wrote:

“In continuation of the tradition of the beautiful island, we will add that the class of hierophants was clearly divided into two categories; one is those who have been instructed by the "Sons of God" from the island and who have been initiated into the divine doctrine of pure revelation; another category is the inhabitants of the lost Atlantis (...). In short, they represented the fourth race of people mentioned in the Popol Vuh, whose eyesight was unlimited and who knew everything at once.

((Ibid., p. 494.))

In this case, Blavatsky has in mind the unusual psycho-spiritual abilities of the Atlanteans. As stated in esoteric sources, the Atlanteans were a race of born magicians (or mediums); in those days, unusual, paranormal for people of our race, psychic abilities were the most common phenomenon inherent in all representatives of that ancient race without exception. However, innate magical abilities in the absence of a high spiritual level of development became a fatal circumstance for the entire Atlantean race, which led it to disaster. As H. P. Blavatsky writes further about the Atlanteans and their magical abilities, “perhaps they were what we now call “born mediums” who did not fight, did not suffer for the sake of acquiring knowledge and also did not receive it at the cost of what or a victim. Therefore, as the first (we are talking about the hierophants, which were mentioned above. - WITH.) follow the path of their divine teachers, acquiring knowledge gradually and at the same time learning to distinguish between good and evil, the Atlantean adepts from birth followed the suggestions of the great and invisible "Dragon", King Tevetat (the Serpent of the Book of Genesis?)". (Ibid.)

This Serpent of the Book of Genesis, who corrupted the race of Atlanteans, of course, was the once brilliant Lucifer, who by that time had become the Fallen Angel, the Prince of this World.

Blavatsky continues in Isis Unveiled:

(...) under the influence of the evil suggestions of their demon Tevetat, the Atlantean race became a nation of black magicians. As a result, a war was declared, the story of which would require too long a story; the essence of this story can be found in the distorted allegories about Cain's offspring, the giants, and in the allegories about Noah and his godly family. The collision ended with the sinking of Atlantis into the abyss of the ocean, which found its imitations in the narratives of the Babylonians and the Mosaic flood; giants and magicians "(...) and all flesh perished (...) and all people." (Ibid.)

Even more information regarding the civilization of the Atlanteans is given in The Secret Doctrine. In this work H. P. Blavatsky writes:

“It was from the Fourth Race that the first Aryans received their knowledge and “a lot of wonderful things” (...). From them they learned aeronautics, Vimana Vidya, "the art of flying in air carts," and therefore also their great sciences of meteorography and meteorology. Again, from them the Aryans inherited their most valuable sciences about the hidden properties of precious and other stones, also chemistry, or rather alchemy, mineralogy, geology, physics and astronomy. (“The Secret Doctrine”. In 2 volumes. Minsk, 1994, v. 2, book 1, p. 538.)

Regarding the sinking of Atlantis to the bottom of the ocean and the reflection of this event in the myths, traditions and religions of the world, H. P. Blavatsky notes:

“Many times the writer asked herself the question: is the legend in the Book of Exodus - at least in its details - as it is told in the Old Testament, independent? Or is it, like the legend of Moses himself and many others, just another version of the legends about the Atlanteans? For who among those who have heard the tale of the latter does not see a great resemblance in their basic features? Let us remember the anger of “God” at the stubbornness of the pharaoh and His command to the “chosen ones”, before leaving, to steal from the Egyptians their “jewels of gold and jewels of silver”, and, finally, the drowning of the Egyptians and the pharaoh himself in the Red Sea. Then we read from the Commentaries the following passage from an earlier story:

“And the “Great King of the Shining Face”, the head of all the Yellow Faces, was sad, seeing the sins of the Black Faces.

And he sent his airships (Vimana), with pious people in them, to all his brother rulers (heads of other peoples and tribes), saying:

“Get ready. Arise, you people of the Good Law, and cross over the earth while it is [still] dry.

The storm lords are coming. Their chariots are approaching the earth. Only one night and two days will the Lords of the Dark Face (Sorcerers) live on this patient land. She is condemned, and they must fall with her. (…) Arise and use yours (i.e. your magical powers to counter the powers of the Sorcerers). Let every Lord of the Brilliant Face (Adept of White Magic) force the Wiman of every Lord of the Dark Face to fall into his hands (or possession), so that not one (of the Sorcerers) can, thanks to him, be saved from the waters, avoid the Wand of the Four (Karmic Deities) and save their evil ones (followers, or people).

Let every Yellow Face send a dream (hypnotic?) on every Black Face. Even if they (Witches) avoid pain and suffering. Let every person faithful to the Solar Gods bind (paralyze) every person faithful to the Moon Gods so that he does not suffer and avoid his fate.

And let each one of the Yellow Face give his water of life (blood) to the talking animals belonging to the Black Face, so that they do not wake their master.

The hour has struck, the black night is ready.

May their fate come true. We are the Servants of the Great Four.

May the Kings of Light return." The Great King fell on his Shining Face and wept…

When the Kings gathered, the waters were already moving...

[But] the nations have already crossed the dry lands. They were beyond the water level. Their kings overtook them in their Vimanas and led them to the lands of Fire and Metal (East and North)."

Elsewhere it is also said:

“The stars (meteors) fell like a shower on the lands of the Black-faced; but they were asleep.

The talking beasts (magical guardians) were calm.

The lords of the depths waited for orders, but they did not come, for their lords were asleep.

The waters rose and covered the valleys from one end of the earth to the other. The plateau remained, the bottom of the Earth (the land of the antipodes) remained dry. Those who were saved lived there: the people of the Yellow Face and the straight eye (open and sincere people).

When the Lords of the Dark Face awoke and remembered their Vimana to escape the rising waters, they saw that they had disappeared."

Then one passage indicates how some of the more powerful magicians of the "Dark Faces", awakened before the others, pursue those who "robbed them" and who were in the last ranks, for "the peoples being taken away were as numerous as the stars of the Milky Way" , says one of the more modern Commentaries, written only in Sanskrit. “Just as the serpent-dragon slowly unfolds its body, so the Sons of Men, led away by the Sons of Wisdom, unfolded their ranks and spread and expanded like a rushing stream of fresh water ... many who feared among them died on the way. But most were saved."

However, the pursuers, "whose head and chest rose high above the water," pursued them "for three lunar periods," until at last the rising waters overtook them and they perished to the last man; the soil sank under their feet, and the earth swallowed up those who defiled it.

This is a great similarity with the original material, on the basis of which it was built, many hundreds of millennia later, a similar story in the Book of Exodus. (Ibid., p. 541.)

As H. P. Blavatsky notes further, it was the Atlanteans who became the most ancient colonizers of Egypt. “The civilization of the Atlanteans was even higher than the civilization of the Egyptians. It was their degenerate descendants, the people of Plato's Atlantis, who built the first pyramids in this country, and this, of course, even before the advent of the "Eastern Ethiopians", as Herodotus calls the Egyptians. This can be fully deduced from the statement made by Ammianus Marcellus, who speaks of the pyramids: “There are also underground passages and winding shelters, which, as they say, were built by people skilled in ancient mysteries and thanks to this they learned about the impending flood; they were built in different places so that the memory of all their sacred rituals would not disappear. (Ibid., p. 542.)

The problem of Atlantis is not so far from the problems inherent in our civilization, as it may seem. As we remember, Atlantis was destroyed by the strongest cataclysm caused by the violation of natural laws and the misuse of higher natural energies by representatives of its civilization. It is easy to see that in the Living Ethics teaching there are direct references to the fact that our time resembles the times of Atlantis. What brought our civilization to such a dangerous line that destroyed the once huge continent and the powerful civilization that inhabited it?

In ancient myths and manuscripts, there is evidence of the existence and mysterious disappearance of highly developed civilizations on our planet. The remains of ancient structures for various purposes are made with knowledge of astronomy, physics, chemistry and medicine. Who built them? Why did the creators go into obscurity?

The story of the sunken Atlantis, told by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, has been worrying mankind for almost two and a half millennia. Inspired by the great thinker, many wrote various essays on this topic over the centuries. So, in the 17th century, the English philosopher and politician Francis Bacon wrote a talented scientific and technical utopia "New Atlantis". Merezhkovsky in his philosophical novel "Atlantis - Europe" turned to the ideological wanderings of mankind, to its terrible sentence to go in circles forever: from one Atlantis to another. According to the writer, the path of civilizations is the path of eternal catastrophes in the past and future. In his work "Teachers of Teachers" Valery Bryusov defended the idea of ​​the complete reliability of Plato's information about Atlantis. Supporters of the existence of Atlantis were Academician N.K. Roerich and Academician V.A. Obruchev. J. Verne's "Nautilus" passes under the ruins of Atlantis, the story of its death was used by Alexei Tolstoy in his famous "Aelita" and A. Belyaev in the story "The Last Man from Atlantis".

In different parts of the world, on different continents, there are amazing relics - evidence of the past of the Earth. These are the Sphinx and the pyramids in Egypt, the 390-meter "Devil's Tower" in Wyoming (USA), the alleys of giant balls in Karnak (France), giant terraces on the islands of Australia, the mysterious stones of Ica (Peru) depicting maps of the Western Hemisphere, comets , nebulae and constellations, as well as surgical operations on the heart and other human organs.

In Peru, in the Nazca desert, there is a complex of terrestrial figures of 30 species of animals, 100 spirals, 700 geometric areas. According to scientists, it would take about 100,000 man-years to make all these images, and more than 1000 years to build the Egyptian Sphinx (which is older than the pyramids and the Flood of Noah's era) - more than 1000 years.

As a result of many years of research, scientists have found evidence of the existence of flooded cities. Thanks to aerial photography in calm weather and underwater archaeological expeditions, sensational finds have been made. Near Venezuela, a wall 160 km long, built of multi-ton blocks, stretches along the seabed. In 1968 pilot Braut in the area of ​​the Bahamas noticed underwater structures. Professor Velentine's subsequent expedition to the same area discovered a temple and roads underwater. Pilot Morgan during the flight saw the pyramids at the bottom of Lake Ron near Madison (USA).

Stories about found giant human skeletons, as well as other evidence of the existence of giants, are characteristic of many places on the planet, but perhaps most of these stories exist in North America.

For example, the 3.6-meter-high Goliath skeleton was found at Lompton Ranch, California, in 1833. Soldiers digging a hole for the foundation of a powder magazine found in an earthen niche a perfectly preserved skeleton with a huge skull and two rows of teeth. Huge stone axes, spearheads, various shells and stone plates with engraved mysterious inscriptions lay around in abundance. The skeleton and all the finds, by secret order of the high command, were secretly buried in an abandoned coal mine at a depth of forty meters.

In 1911 In Lovelock Cave, located 112 km northeast of the city of Reno, Nevada, the mummified remains of seven red-haired people, whose height reached 2.5 meters, were found. This was an actual confirmation of the legends of the local Pyuto Indian tribe about very large people, whom the Indians called "siteca". One of the skulls with several bones survived and is in the Humboldt Museum in Winnemuka, Nevada, and household items and huge axes and knives were taken to Reno, to the State Historical Museum.

However, the most amazing giant remains were found in the 1880s at Tioga Point, Pennsylvania. Here is what the naturalist Robert Lyman writes about this in his famous book Forbidden Land:

“Dr. Dounhu, state historian and former minister, along with Professor Moreheadon and Professor Skinner of the Philippe Acdover Academy, dug up an Indian burial site. They found the bones of 68 people there. The average height of these people was 7 feet (210 cm), and many were much taller, up to 9 feet. Several specimens have been sent to the American Research Museum."

All these remnants illustrate the descriptions of the ancient philosophical treatises of the East about the existence of high civilizations on our planet. The themes of the pyramids and sphinxes, Lemuria and Atlantis have been exciting the inquisitive minds of researchers for many years. Riddles, hypotheses, assumptions ... And the answers? How to explain these findings? Let's see what knowledge about Atlantis was brought to us by ancient legends, what scientists think about this, how the present time is similar to the times of Atlantis, and what conclusions a modern person should draw from this.

Scientific justification for the existence of Atlantis

The ancient Greek philosopher Plato recounted the legend of Atlantis in his two dialogues Timaeus and Critias. At the same time, he pointed out that when writing them, he used information about Atlantis taken from the Athenian legislator and statesman Solon, his great-grandfather, who was revered in ancient Greece as "the wisest of the seven wise." Salon traveled around the Mediterranean countries for 10 years and visited Egypt, where the priests told him that 9000 years ago there was a powerful state in Athens, and at the same time, behind the Pillars of Hercules, there was a large island of Atlantis - a wonderland where peace and happiness reigned for centuries, memories of which are the Gardens of the Hesperides, Mount Olympus, the gardens of Alcinous, the Champs Elysees.

In his Dialogues, Plato describes the mythological story of the creation of Atlantis by the god of the seas, Poseidonis, and gives a detailed picture of the main city.

Both supporters and opponents of the existence of the Atlantean continent mention these works of Plato in their reasoning. Only opponents believe that Plato invented Atlantis to illustrate the ideal state, of which he is the author. And supporters, on the contrary, argue that Plato was looking for confirmation of his theory in real facts.

The search for the sunken mainland is based mainly on these "Dialogues" of Plato. From time to time, scientists report in the press about the finds of the ghosts of a drowned country either in the Atlantic or in the Mediterranean. With the development of methods for studying the depths of the World Ocean, the search for Atlantis intensified. Let's see what evidence scientists present in favor of the existence of Atlantis?

In 1982, a Soviet expedition led by lecturer in geological and mineralogical sciences Gorodnitsky explored the depths of the Atlantic Ocean and the mountain range of the so-called Azor-Gibraltar zone. According to Goroditsky, analysis of samples from Mount Ampere showed that this type of basalt could have formed only by solidifying lava in air, and not under water, i.e. above the surface of the ocean, from which the logical conclusion follows - Mount Ampere was a volcanic island. Further studies of this mountain, as well as Mount Josephine, showed that they used to rise above the water, and confirmation of this is the following circumstances.

There are large niches in the walls of the mountains - obvious traces of the destructive action of water, both mountains are covered with cracks, littered with basalt blocks, which are well rolled. Between the blocks are pebbles of different sizes. This means that the waves of the surf once walked here. And the edges of the rocks are badly damaged by weathering. All this suggests that this mountain range was once an island, and only later it sank under water.

How is the dive? Where the continental plates collide, the thinner and deeper oceanic lithosphere breaks and "dives" under the continent, thus sinking into the depths of the island's ocean. A similar situation is currently observed in the Pacific Ocean, the bottom of which is moving under the edge of the Asian continent at a relatively high rate - approximately 5 cm per year: under Kamchatka, the Kuril and Japanese island arcs.

By the way, the atlantologist Muk, in his statements regarding the location of Atlantis, was based on the translation of the name of the continent from the Aztec language, according to which “atl” is “high mountain”, i.e. Atlantis is a "mountain in the midst of water."

The famous ethnographer and archaeologist Thor Heyerdahl in his writings singled out common features in the history of the Old and New Worlds: on the one hand, the ancient culture of Asia Minor, Egypt, Crete and Cyprus, on the other hand, the pre-European civilizations of Mexico and Peru: there was a cult on both sides of the ocean sun; creation of pyramids; mummification using resins and bandages; construction of canals in cities; similarity in clothing, tools and weapons; similar musical instruments such as drums and flutes.

In addition, Mook draws by analogy with the "ring of the pyramids" and cites the "language ring" - similar linguistic features in various modern peoples of America, Europe and Asia. According to scientists - atlantologists, similar features in the culture and life of peoples and even general patterns of development of civilizations on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean are explained by the fact that it was Atlantis that was the cultural beginning for the Old and New Worlds.

Antiatlantologists oppose the Platonic hypothesis with quite serious and well-founded arguments. But how do they explain the sudden achievements of the ancient peoples, in particular, it concerns the knowledge of astronomy, metallurgy, medicine, stone architecture and other branches of science? After all, the emergence of a civilization in Asia Minor almost from scratch is no less a miracle than the existence of Atlantis.

It is no coincidence that Donelly, the author of Atlantis: The World Before the Flood, is considered the father of modern atlantology - it was his research that first aroused serious interest in Atlantis. It was Donelly, one of the first who drew attention to the similarity of the architecture of the Indians and Egyptians, who expressed the hypothesis that Atlantis was the cradle of all the high civilizations of antiquity.

Donelly's arguments are based largely on the obvious similarities between the culture of ancient Egypt and the cultures of the Indians of Central and South America. On both sides of the Atlantic, a 365-day calendar was used, the embalming of the dead was practiced, pyramids were erected, flood legends were preserved, etc. Donelly argues that both the ancient cultures, the Egyptian and the American Indian, were the offspring of Atlantis, and when it was destroyed, spread west and east. Donelly suggests that the heritage of Atlantis can explain the fact that the Basques of the Spanish Pyrenees differ in appearance and language from all their neighbors. Also, the inhabitants of the Canary Islands bear little resemblance to any African people and had a custom of mummifying the dead. Donelly says that Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands could be a likely refuge for settlers from the dying Atlantis.

Mellis in 1958, studying the origin of deep-sea sands in the Atlantic Ocean, showed that the sands of the Romanch Basin probably resulted from the weathering of a section of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge that once rose above the surface of the ocean. In 1959 in the Military Engineer there was a report that “in the process of hydrographic surveys, the US Coast and Geodetic Survey discovered flooded depressions (depressions) more than 90m wide and up to 150m deep in the Strait of Florida. They are located 25 km from the Florida Keys, where the ocean depth is 270 m. It is assumed that they were freshwater lakes in the area, which then subsided.

The most important arguments of a specialist in favor of the existence of Atlantis can be found in the article by Rene Malais "Investigations of the ocean floor in connection with the geological structure", which appeared in "Geologiska Foreningens". Malais argues that many of the continental-type landforms of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, in particular the canyons on the ocean floor, could not have been cut by underwater turbulent currents, but must have formed when the modern sea floor was above water level. He considers ocean currents and their impact on the glacier that covered Europe and America 10 - 12 thousand years ago.

However, all these facts cannot serve as confirmation of the existence of Atlantis. At best, they indicate that sections of the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean in the recent past were located above the water level.

In the April 1949 issue of Science Digest, another scientist, Dr. Maurice Ewing of Columbia University, published a short article entitled "The Lost Continent Called Myth." Ewing, in his words, "since 1935 has been mapping, sampling, echo sounding the ocean floor and descending to the depths himself." He took underwater photographs down to a depth of 5.5 km and "found no evidence of sunken cities anywhere." His research focused on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which stretches from Iceland to Antarctica. At first glance, this may be taken as evidence against the existence of Atlantis, but some reflection leads to a different conclusion. Let us suppose that the United States of America is destroyed by strong earthquakes and volcanoes in a few months or years. Our cities are reduced to rubble and then buried under deposits of ash and lava. Huge tidal waves crashed onto the earth, sweeping and destroying the remains of structures and all evidence of human creations. Finally, an entire country sinks into the ocean, and over the course of 13,000 years, tidal currents dissipate, and oceanic sediments cover all the remnants of our civilization. In 14967, someone will photograph a few tens of square centimeters of the ocean floor or drill a hole 10 cm deep at the bottom. Is it possible to assume that he will see cities or the inside of a car, plane or factory? Everything speaks against it. But he will not doubt that he has the right to conclude that America never existed.

In the end, we seem to be going in circles. The harder you try to solve the problem, the clearer it becomes impossible to do so. The current literature does not provide conclusive evidence for either viewpoint or the other. Until other than Platonic written sources are found for its history, or until there is strong evidence that it never existed, Atlantis is likely to remain a mystery.

Meanwhile, the concept of the evolution of human races, different from that accepted by modern science, is considered in detail in the "Secret Doctrine" by H. P. Blavatsky. In accordance with it, races are considered as impulses of cosmic life on the planet, and each race represents a certain stage in a single cycle of earthly evolution. Such spiral cycles are universal in the Cosmos and reflect, regardless of the scale, the process of descent, and then - together with the knowledge and experience gained - the ascent of the human spirit from matter. The life cycle of mankind is divided into seven human races, called indigenous. They appear in sequence, one after the other. Also, in each Root-Race, seven sub-races appear in succession. The fourth or Atlantean race in the Esoteric Doctrine is characterized by the greatest immersion of spirit into matter in this cycle.

Can we, the representatives of the modern Fifth race, be interested in the previous fourth race of the Atlanteans?

Certainly interesting, if we take into account the operation of the universal law of analogy. For example, each person's personality is a consequence of his past incarnations, strung like beads on the core of the spirit, so self-knowledge, so necessary for self-improvement, is inseparable from an impartial analysis of one's own imperfections, sometimes rooted in the distant past of individuality. Similarly, it is just as urgent to study, according to the surviving evidence, the heritage of the previous race that was the parent of our own.

The question inevitably arises as to how such reliable evidence can be obtained. Marine geology and archeology have not yet provided indisputable evidence for the existence of Atlantis. However, in the works of Plato, H. P. Blavatsky and Edgar Cayce, a bright, full of life, internally consistent and comparable picture of the existence of the Atlantean race appears. How was this knowledge obtained?

There are many types of memory. Visual, auditory and other types of memory are associated with physical feelings. There is a memory for emotions and thoughts, as well as for the near or distant past. All these types of memory are inherent in personality, i.e. specific mortal part of a person. But there is a perfect memory, the memory of the spirit - this is the most secret secret in man. The Spirit, also called the Witness, the Silent Recorder, has absolute memory of all life forms it has ever been in. Such memory belongs to the Individuality - the immortal, reincarnating Triad of the highest principles of man. The memory of the spirit is usually inaccessible to the touches of the consciousness of the individual, therefore we do not, as a rule, remember our previous incarnations. We know that it is impossible to penetrate into the future with the memory of a personality, it is impossible to understand the thoughts of the interlocutor, it is impossible to see life on another planet if our spirit has not been there.

But all these abilities are possessed by consciousness. The category of consciousness is one of the most difficult problems of modern natural science. Consciousness is associated with the spirit and is defined as the ability to form and perceive ideas, and the mind, intellect - as the practical application of this ability. In the human microcosm there are different states of consciousness that are characteristic of its temporary bodies-conductors that envelop the spirit. There is also a high spiritual consciousness, ie. the incorruptible acquisition of many lives, the true and eternal property of a particular person. The carriers of spiritual consciousness are the fiery energies collected after each incarnation around the highest Triad of divine principles in man. Of course, these energies or spiritual accumulations of a person reflect the highest (if any) aspirations of each mortal, earthly personality, worthy of joining the immortal Triad. Accordingly, each person has his own savings, and they differ qualitatively and quantitatively for different people. Thus, gradually, in a series of incarnations, the cosmic consciousness of the immortal Human Individuality and its fiery body, consisting of the finest accumulated energies, are formed. The formation of the fiery body is the highest goal of the evolution of earthly man in its distant future cycles.

With the fiery consciousness one can penetrate into the past of one's Individuality, see the chain of one's own incarnations. Consciousness also has access to the past, which has never been in the memory of not only the personality, but also the immortal Individuality. The fiery consciousness is capable, for example, of plunging into the past of a distant geological epoch of the Earth or of some ancient people, where the spirit of a given person has never been embodied.

A higher state of our consciousness is straight-knowledge. The highest stages of consciousness, going into the infinity of evolution, are omniscience of various degrees. Clairvoyance, clairaudience and other clairsentience are the attributes of high consciousness. Clairsentience is a consequence of partially or fully opened energy centers of a person, which indicates a high degree of formation of the fiery body.

All of the above makes an attempt to explain from the standpoint of the Esoteric Doctrine the riddle of Edgar Cayce's cognitive abilities, but does not yet answer the question of where he received knowledge about Atlantis. In the "readings" of the clairvoyant, such an answer was given, and Akasha was named as the source of information. In the "Secret Doctrine" of H. P. Blavatsky, it is indicated that at the beginning of cosmic evolution, Mulaprakriti - the eternal, unmanifested and undifferentiated matter - emits an emanation called Akasha. In order to imagine how the imprints of everything that happens in Akash are formed, one can imagine our planet making continuous and complex movements in the Cosmos and emitting various radiations. These radiations are imprinted on the thinnest substance of Akash, creating a kind of film that reflects the life of the planet from the beginning to the end of its existence. Since everything in the Universe is moving, the information-energy trace of any cosmic body is also in motion. The complex patterns left in the Cosmos are called the Akashic Scrolls, the Cosmic Archives, or the perfect Memory of Nature.

But, perhaps, such imprints in Akash form only large space objects?

However, the Esoteric Doctrine asserts that literally everything that has existence in the dense world leaves an indelible mark in the Invisible World. All phenomena are recorded, including, for example, the slightest feelings, thoughts and actions of a person. Everything that exists, every object of the universe leaves behind such a “film”, where the history of his life is clearly, completely, in all details recorded. Space sees and hears, and for it there is nothing secret and hidden. The symbol of the All-Seeing Eye as a manifestation of the Supreme Deity becomes more understandable. And such a Deity is Infinity - an infinite space with absolute memory; including all the past, present and future of the universe; visible, and to an incomparably greater extent, are the invisible planes of Cosmos. The information in the Akashic scrolls is indestructible.

The Akashic scrolls, although they refer to the past, are perceived by the cognizing consciousness in the present, because they exist in reality, in the great "NOW". The distant future of the planet, which already exists in Akasha, is also available for the seers to observe in the present, because they are in the eternal NOW. The great prophets of the future drew their information in this way. Teachers of mankind, Great Representatives of the Creator of our solar system read in Akash as in an open book. These perceptions become available to the consciousness with the opened energy centers of the formed fiery body. Exceptional talents are manifested in individual people even earlier, but also not without great efforts on their part over a number of lives. The properties, features and abilities of a person, that is, the qualities of his spirit, are infinitely older than his body, upbringing, education and other layers of this incarnation. Two people in one: the first is ancient, having accumulated many good and bad properties, the second is young, barely formed in this incarnation. If a person discovers some unusual ability, then he has practically once shown it in the past. The fiery apparatus of the spirit cannot be destroyed by life or death, therefore the fruits of achievements remain with a person forever.

Now development is going along the path of technical progress, but the goal of Evolution is to arm a person without a single apparatus, because the most amazing and perfect fiery equipment is contained in the potential of his spirit. Television and radio, airplanes and rockets are but an imperfect imitation of the future spiritual possibilities of man. Evolution will go in this direction. The human spirit potentially has the qualities of omnipresence, omniscience, omnipotence - i.e. such powers as are usually ascribed to the Divine. The distance between what a person is in the present and what he will become in the distant future is immeasurable.

I would like to try to evaluate the significance of the knowledge about Atlantis received by Edgar Cayce. Edgar Cayce practiced clairvoyant medical diagnosis for forty-three years and submitted thirty thousand diagnosis reports and hundreds of complete case histories to the Association for Research and Education (A.R.E.) he founded. The prophecies of Edgar Cayce about the fate of the world are beginning to be seriously studied, for many of them have already come true.

While doing diagnostics, Casey discovered the ability to see the past and predict the future. So, his visions related to the legendary Atlantis are interesting. He believed that Atlantis was located in the Atlantic Ocean between the Sargasso Sea and the Azores and was destroyed as a result of three cataclysms that occurred between the 15th and 10th centuries BC. According to Casey, the Atlanteans were familiar with electricity, invented the airplane, possessed the ability to telepathy, and in addition, had a crystal for focusing and using electrical energy (Casey died in 1945 - long before the invention of the laser). This crystal allegedly caused a series of cataclysms that destroyed Atlantis. After the first and second cataclysms, the Atlanteans moved to the nearest continents, which explains the presence of common features in the civilizations of South America and Ancient Egypt.

According to Casey, the crisis of modern civilization is largely due to the fact that at present the souls of Atlanteans are incarnated on Earth en masse, having not outlived their worst features, and sometimes they have fallen low. These souls, refusing incarnations, broke away from world spiritual progress and lagged behind in their development. They often have excellent innate abilities for technology, but at the same time they are distinguished by selfishness and the desire only for material goods. Violence and lack of spirituality inherent in modern, especially Western civilization, according to Casey, is a consequence of this phenomenon.

Humanity continues to reap the fruits of its own deeds committed back in the days of Atlantis. Modern humanity must finally realize the reality and drama of the heritage of the previous race, which is imprinted not only in the Memory of Nature, but also in the spirit of each of us. We must begin with the knowledge of the true causes of the processes taking place in the world, for this is the first step towards improvement.

Many today are seriously studying Cayce's prophecies regarding earthly cataclysms and geological shifts expected from the 1930s to the first decade of the 21st century. Some of them have already begun to be implemented; these include a marked increase in volcanic activity since the 1960s, especially in Alaska, California and the Mediterranean; others may not have happened within the specified time.

However, it must be said that Casey himself did not consider the prophecies to be absolute truth, because, in his opinion, this would exclude free will and the power of prayer - he believed very deeply in their action. And he repeatedly emphasized that nothing can be completely predetermined, only the possibility is predetermined.

N.K. Roerich in the book “The Power of Light” wrote: “Yes, legends are not an abstraction, but reality itself ... Humanity does not make legends about the small, insignificant and pitiful.” According to esoteric sources:

The fourth root race of humanity - the Atlantes - began “its existence about 4-5 million years ago ... in what is now approximately the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Then there was a cluster of islands in this place; over time they rose and turned into a great continent - Atlantis.

The first Atlantes were ... giants - they reached three and a half meters. Over the millennia, their growth gradually decreased. The state of the first Atlanteans can be called infantile, their consciousness was undeveloped. Therefore, their development took place under the direct guidance of the Great Mentors of mankind, who endowed them with reason, who were embodied in the person of their Rulers, as a result of which the third sub-race of the Atlanteans - the Toltecs - reached the pinnacle of the development of their Race.

They were also tall - they reached two and a half meters; over time, their height decreased, reaching the height of a person of our day. The descendants of the Toltecs are pure-blooded representatives of the Peruvians and Aztecs, as well as the red-skinned Indians of North and South America.

Atlantis reached its peak about 1 million years ago. At that time, “the continent of Atlantis occupied most of the Atlantic Ocean. Atlantis extended northward a few degrees east of Iceland, including Scotland, Ireland, and northern England, and southward to what is now Rio de Janeiro, including Texas, Mexico, the Strait of Mexico, and parts of the United States of America and Labrador. . The equatorial regions included Brazil and the entire expanse of the ocean to the golden coast of Africa. The present Azores were inaccessible snowy peaks of the highest mountain range of the continent of Atlantis. There were also separate parts, as if cut off from Atlantis, in the form of islands of various shapes, which later turned into the continents of Europe, America and Africa.

The Toltecs created the most powerful empire among the peoples of Atlantis. From the Divine Teachers who guided them, the Atlanteans accepted faith in the existence of a Supreme Cosmic Being, penetrating all that exists. So the cult of the Sun was established as a symbol of this highest concept.

After long internecine wars, the individual tribes of the Toltecs united into one large federation, headed by the emperor. The time has come for peace and prosperity for the entire Race. For many thousands of years, the Toltecs reigned over the entire continent of Atlantis, achieving great power and wealth. The city of the Golden Gate, located in the eastern part of Atlantis, was the residence of the emperors, whose power extended not only to the entire continent, but also to the islands.

Throughout this epoch, dedicated drivers have always maintained contact with the secret Hierarchy of Light, obeying its instructions, and acting in accordance with Its plans. As a result, that era was the golden age of Atlantis. The government was just and beneficent, the arts and sciences flourished. The leaders of the country, using secret knowledge, have achieved truly extraordinary results. In this era, the culture and civilization of Atlantis reached its climax.

In the era of prosperity, under the influence of emperors-Adepts, the people reached the purest and truest understanding of the Divine idea. The symbol was the only form by which it was possible to approach the idea of ​​that essence of the Cosmos, which, being inexpressible, permeates everything. Thus, the symbol of the Sun was one of the first to be perceived and understood. The cult of Fire and the cult of the Sun were glorified in the magnificent temples that rose all over the continent of Atlantis, especially in the City of the Golden Gates. In those days, any images of the Deity were forbidden. The disk of the Sun was the only emblem worthy of depicting the head of a deity, and this image was in every temple. This golden disc was usually placed in such a way that the first ray of the Sun illuminated it at the time of the spring equinox or the summer solstice.

Atlantes “wrote on thin metal sheets, the surface of which resembled white porcelain. They knew how to reproduce and reproduce the text.

The schools of the heyday were of two categories: primary, where they taught writing and reading, and higher, where children received a more extensive education. Botany, chemistry, mathematics and astronomy were studied here. Much attention was paid to the fact that every educated person knew in general terms medicine and methods of treatment by magnetism.

The main task of the teacher was the development of the hidden psychic powers of the student and, in connection with this, an experimental acquaintance with the secret forces of nature. This included familiarization with the secret features of plants, metals and precious stones, as well as the chemical process of transmutation of metals. ... Particularly prominent persons studied at higher schools and universities, where they were specially engaged in the development of hidden individual forces. Atlantes could, for example, cause rain at will.

... "One of the main industries of the Toltecs was agriculture and farming." In agriculture, great importance was attached to astronomy.

The main branch of art at that time was architecture. ... The facades of buildings were decorated with frescoes, sculptures or colored ornaments. The Atlanteans loved bright colors and painted their houses both inside and out. A special substance, similar to glass, but less transparent, let light into the interior of the houses. Public buildings and temples were striking in their massiveness and gigantic size. Fountains spouted in the yards of buildings of public importance. Water to the city, in particular, to the capital of Atlantis, the City of the Golden Gates, was delivered through canals.

“The Atlanteans used highly developed technology. They carried out the idea of ​​an aircraft, or a flying machine. For the construction of aircraft, a special mixture of three metals was used. This white metal mixture was very expensive. The surface of the aircraft was covered with sheets of this metal. The Atlantean aircraft gleamed in the dark as if they were covered in shiny plaster. They looked like a ship with a closed deck. The driving force was a kind of ether.

The Atlanteans also had ships propelled by a force similar to the ether, only of a denser composition. Later, when wars and civil strife put an end to the golden age, warships designed for air navigation replaced sea ones in large part.

About a hundred thousand years after the Golden Age, the decline of the great Atlantean Race began. Spiritual decline has begun. Selfishness took over. And the wars ended the Golden Age. People, instead of working for the common good under the guidance of the Great Instructors, in cooperation with the cosmic forces of nature, fell into a frenzy of self-destruction. ... Each person began to fight only for himself, to use his knowledge for purely selfish purposes and began to believe that there is nothing higher than a person in the universe. Everyone was for himself his law, his god.

The Atlanteans began to create their own images, according to their own size and likeness, and worshiped them. ... The richest kept entire states of priests to serve this cult and take care of the altar in which their statues were located. They were sacrificed as gods. The apotheosis of self-worship could not be greater.

The kings, the majority of the clergy, and a significant part of the people began to use the secret forces, ignoring the laws prescribed by the Initiates, frivolously neglecting their advice and instructions. The connection with the Hierarchy of the Light Forces was broken. Personal interests, the thirst for wealth and power, the ruin and destruction of enemies in order to enrich themselves more and more captured the consciousness of the masses.

Secret knowledge, directed in the direction opposite to the goals of evolution - in the direction of selfishness and malevolence, turned into black magic and witchcraft. Luxury, brutality and barbarism increased more and more, until the bestial instincts began to operate completely. Sorcerers and adepts of black forces widely disseminated black magic, and the number of people who comprehended and applied it was constantly increasing.

When the perversion of evolutionary laws reached its climax and the Golden Gate City became a real hell in its cruelty, the first terrible catastrophe shook the continent. The capital was swept away by the waves of the ocean, millions of people were destroyed. Both the emperor and the clergy who had fallen away from the higher Hierarchy were repeatedly warned about this catastrophe.

Under the influence of the Light Forces, who foresaw the catastrophe, the best part of the people emigrated from this area before the catastrophe. These were the most developed members of the Race, who did not succumb to the general madness, who knew the law of the world, retained a correct understanding of responsibility and control over psychic forces. This first catastrophe occurred about 800,000 years ago.

The second, less significant catastrophe occurred about 200 thousand years ago. ... About 80 thousand years ago - the third catastrophe, exceeding the rest in strength and fury. As a result of these catastrophes, only a small part of the mainland Atlantis remained - the island of Poseidonis.

In this era, before the disappearance of the island of Poseidonis, nevertheless, an emperor from a bright dynasty always reigned in some part of the continent. He acted under the leadership of the Hierarchy and resisted the spread of dark forces, led a minority that observed a pure and sublime life.

Before the catastrophes, there was always an emigration of the best minority. These emigrations were led by spiritual leaders. They were, as it were, the center of prophetic warnings and saved the faithful, chosen tribes. Such migrations took place secretly, under cover of the night.

In 9564 BC, powerful earthquakes destroyed Poseidonis, and the island plunged into the sea, creating a huge wave that flooded the lowlands, leaving a memory of itself in the minds of people as a huge destructive "flood".

As for the death of the once great continent of Atlantis, Edgar Cayce also reported that there were three periods of destruction: the first occurred about 50 thousand years BC, the second - 28 thousand years BC. and the last - 10 thousand years BC, when the remnants of the mainland - three large islands, including Poseidonis - disappeared overnight in the dark abyss of the ocean during a cataclysm caused by powerful volcanic eruptions. In many details, his descriptions coincide with those of Plato, although Cayce never read the "Dialogues" of this great philosopher. It is important to note that if all Edgar's references to Atlantis, which he gave in his "readings of life" for about 20 years, are put together, then they form a coherent, consistent series of events. Moreover, it is very instructive that much of the information in these records corresponds to H. P. Blavatsky's comments on Atlantis in her outstanding work, The Secret Doctrine. For example, both H. P. Blavatsky and E. Casey mention the high technical achievements of the Atlanteans, huge cities and advanced means of transportation, in particular, aircraft; about the discovery of terrifying technical devices and energy sources (like laser beams, nuclear energy, radioactivity); about the great threat to human life from giant animals and birds. Both Cayce and Blavatsky mention the culmination of a great battle between the supporters of Good and Evil, the forces of Light and Darkness, which ultimately led to the death of the last remnants of this archipelago.

How is the legend of Atlantis related to Edgar Cayce's Life Readings? 2500 "readings" are documented, given to approximately 1600 people. About 700 of them - almost half of those who received information about their past lives - had incarnations in Atlantis that affect their present life. Moreover, Casey did not mention all the incarnations of each individuality, but only those that most influenced his current life, as well as those that could be most useful to a person. Therefore, there is nothing impossible in the fact that almost everyone living today had incarnations in Atlantis at one time or another.

Individual abilities and weaknesses are reflected in the following lives. When many entities living together at the same time incarnate again in a different era, group or national tendencies become apparent.

According to the "readings" of Edgar Cayce, many individual souls who had one or more incarnations in Atlantis are re-incarnating on Earth in this age, especially in America. Together with the ability to technology, they carry with them a tendency to extremism. They often exhibit individual and group karma, marked by selfishness and exploitative tendencies, as far as relationships with other people are concerned. Many of them lived during the destruction or geological cataclysms in Atlantis. If Cayce's prophecies are correct, then a similar period of earth changes is imminent.

The final death of the remaining islands took place about 10,000 years BC. Most likely, it was this last catastrophe that Plato described in his writings. Each period of destruction lasted for, not days, but months or years. In any case, there were significant warnings, so that many of the inhabitants were saved by moving to Europe, Africa and America. Thus, according to Cayce's "readings", both the Americas and some parts of Europe experienced an influx of Atlanteans more than once in the prehistoric past.

Why does Edgar Cayce claim that incarnations in Atlantis have such a great influence on people, especially in our time? He answers this question in a general "reading": “If the fact of reincarnation is true, and the souls that once dwelt in such an environment (i.e., Atlantis) are now penetrating the earthly sphere and dwelling in individuals, then is it surprising if in the past they made such changes in the affairs of the Earth who brought them self-destruction, and if they come now, they can cause many changes in the affairs of peoples and individuals.

When we look at people who seem to have once been citizens of a country strikingly similar to 20th century America, we can often see both personal and national vices. The vices, when understood, can be corrected, and America can still be spared the fate that befell Atlantis. At the very least, individuals, such as Robert Dunbar, may be able to change and lead more creative than destructive lives.

Robert Dunbar's parents listened in amazement to their nine-year-old son. Robert's face beamed with excitement as he enthusiastically began to talk over dinner about the results of his first experiments with a new set of chemicals. On that day, he conducted almost all the experiments described in the chemistry textbook. With the trepidation of a discoverer, he spoke about the compounds of various chemicals, sprinkling his story with an abundance of technical terms. With particular excitement, it was described how, with a small number of components, he managed to get gunpowder and make "crackers" and other pyrotechnic products for the New Year with his own hands.

The chemicals story was really an experience for Robert's parents as they began to study the advice given by Edgar Cayce in his "life readings" for their son. This experiment brought them a new understanding of psychic predisposition and opened before them the still unknown world of the theory of reincarnation and karmic urges coming from past lives. After the "readings" they looked at Robert with different eyes, and he no longer seemed to them just a smart kid. Now before them loomed a new image of the son, created by his talents, inclinations and abilities accumulated in past lives.

William Dunbar well remembered that day and the unusual feeling with which he listened to "life readings" for his son Robert, when Edgar Cayce warned in a sleeping state that he and Elizabeth had a great responsibility for raising a child. The "readings" described Robert's past lives in Germany, India, Egypt and in the legendary country of Atlantis.

In Germany, his activities were connected with the use of steam engines; in India, he developed a chemical compound for explosive devices used against enemy tribes. Mathematically justified research in the field of electricity and mechanics, carried out in other lives, was pointed out. The warning words of the “readings” sounded again in the father’s ears: “... for we find that the abilities of this soul are beyond the ordinary level. Therefore, it is necessary to direct (Robert) in the right direction, so that the peoples of the world can enjoy the fruits of the activity of this soul. For those who are guided along the wrong path (his abilities) will lead to what many have been warned against, namely - “What is the use of a man if he gains the whole world, but loses his soul?”

A passion for chemicals and an immediate attempt at making explosives was Edgar Cayce's first, but not the last, completely accurate description of Robert Dunbar's inclinations. At an early age, Robert showed an interest in cars and all kinds of mechanical devices. In high school, he became interested in electricity and, encouraged by his parents, received a degree in electrical engineering. His own “life readings” draw his attention, and he repeatedly refers to them during World War II when he needed to make a decision. During the war years, electrical engineers were involved in various engineering works for defensive structures or in order to inflict heavy losses on the enemy in manpower and equipment. Robert chooses to work with radar installations. When Rommel's troops occupied Africa and an invasion of South America seemed imminent, Robert energetically directed the construction of a radar network in the West Indies to protect the Panama Canal and the oil fields in Trinidad.

At the end of the war, he again had to make a choice, and the decision was not easy. In the fall of 1945, Robert wrote the following letter to his parents:

“Dear mom and dad, today I made a choice and I hope you approve of it. The colonel gathered all of us working in this laboratory. You know that I have good reason to return to civilian life now, the colonel says that I have the opportunity to remain in the army in my current position and have a good chance of promotion with a transfer to the training ground in Dayton, Ohio. This work is secret, captured German scientists will work there, and I think that it is connected with the production of rockets and the atomic bomb. A country with such weapons will be invincible. You know how I feel about the army, but I have another option. Those with military experience in electronics are offered the same civilian job. For me it is much more attractive than military service, and will pay twice as much as I used to receive in the electricity company. The work associated with the means of destruction, rockets and bombs, is a trap for me. I read my "readings" again and was surprised that I was sent to the Caribbean, where I once lived and where, as Edgar Cayce said, traces of Atlantis would someday be discovered. This time my work, I believe, was constructive, not destructive. That's why today I decided not to participate in the rocket program. Many of my friends agreed to this proposal. They took me for a lunatic when they found out about my decision to return to work in the electrical supply; maybe I am, but in any case, it seems to me that this is a more creative work. I am sure that in the future, as soon as everyone sees the benefits of electric services, there will be a great demand for it, and people will begin to live like human beings again. I hope you both agree with my decision. Loving you Robert.

After the war, Robert's life was successful. He did not amass wealth, but he has a wonderful wife, two nice kids, he does not complain about his health and has a decent income. He is an active member of the Association for Research and Education. When asked if he ever regretted giving up big money and possibly fame in another field. He replied with a smile, "I sometimes thought about it, but most of what I would like to have, I already have."

Now let's see how this story of the constructive use of "readings" diverges from that of another young man. The first "reading" was given to him when he was in college. The similarity between him and Robert is such that they could be friends in Atlantis. Before us is another individual with an outstanding talent as a scientific researcher. It was pointed out that his work was also connected with mechanics and electricity, and it was also strictly warned that these abilities should be directed to a creative channel. At the beginning of the "readings" it was said that "at this time (1910 - 1911) many people with unusual abilities were incarnated on Earth, directed both towards good and towards evil." In the "readings", in particular, it was stated that this person is distinguished by mental abilities and his profession will be connected with research work. He was warned that in his long-standing incarnation in Atlantis, he used his scientific data for selfish purposes, "forcing people to submit to someone else's will." The "readings" further stated that "if his abilities serve creative purposes, many will give him honor and glory, but if he turns them to destructive or selfish purposes, many will curse the day they met with this soul."

This young man (Tom) rejected strong advice to use his talents in creation. Rapid success in the field of electronics came to him, it seemed, without any effort on his part. Tom became the head of a large electronics concern that develops rangefinders for warships. He was a pioneer in the development of a number of electronic devices used in explosives and other means of destruction. During the war, Tom made a lot of money. However, instead of peace and happiness, they brought him anxiety and mental confusion. Neither wealth nor marriage went to him for the future, and he reached, in the end, to a nervous breakdown. It was only after he began working in the more constructive field of high-performance electronic equipment for the entertainment industry that he gained peace of mind and his life became happier.

As can be seen from the descriptions of Edgar Cayce, here are two personalities with very similar aspirations and abilities in the field of electronics and mechanics, inherited from long-standing incarnations in Atlantis. Each of them made their choice. One chose creative activity, the other, temporarily, destructive. The first achieved the fulfillment of his desires and found peace in his soul, the lot of the second was spiritual discord and misfortune.

"Readings" by Edgar Cayce testify to the wide distribution of this kind of phenomena. Hundreds and thousands of people are incarnated in our era, carrying in themselves inclinations acquired back in the days of the technically highly developed civilization of Atlantis. The pernicious character traits of the people of that time - unbridled selfishness, destructive impulses and slavish submission to one's desires - are again reproduced, as in an unfinished cycle, which promises disasters in the future. Such individuals are often extremists with an innate desire for great good or great evil. And the future of our civilization may depend on how they realize their karma.

The current state of the planet Earth

“If we review the historical time of OUR civilization, we can see that in many parts of the planet there are bloody wars with the use of weapons of mass destruction. Industrial products poison the earth's atmosphere, water bodies, and forests. People die not only in war, but also in peacetime. The scale of moral decay is enormous. Witchcraft is spreading.

At present, we are all witnesses of unprecedented natural disasters. In the last few years, on average, 600 different cataclysms occur annually, including 200 hurricanes, 170 floods and 50 earthquakes, and in each subsequent year, on average, 23 cataclysms more than in the previous one.

Our planet is in a position where, at the conclusion of all cataclysms, a change in the angle of inclination of the planet's axis of rotation can occur. One of the causes of global warming and other adverse phenomena is the unreasonable use of natural resources, pollution of the environment by human waste. But this is no secret to anyone. But few people think about other equally important causes of natural disasters. E.I. Roerich wrote: “Let's not be short-sighted when speaking about the death of the World... it is the human spirit that is the spokesman and the causative agent of volcanoes... Man causes an earthquake – take it literally.”

Few people think about the fact that our thoughts are material, that it was evil thoughts that gave rise to a layer of brown gas that enveloped the Earth and did not let solar energy through; that it is precisely millions of evil sendings, colliding, that cause whirlwinds in the atmosphere.

“There are no such cataclysms that would draw the attention of mankind to the essence of what they create. After the cataclysms, the survivors did not bother to think about the cause of what had happened. They considered themselves innocent victims of fate. They did not improve their consciousness and instead of purification, they started new battles of insane will. The sons of Earth are in a hurry to bring the catastrophe closer."

One could talk about the causes of cataclysms in detail and much, but most accurately, briefly and comprehensively about this is said in one paragraph of the Teaching of Living Ethics: “Unfortunately, the present time completely corresponds to the last time of Atlantis. The same false prophets, the same wars, the same betrayals and spiritual savagery. We are proud of the crumbs of civilization, just as the Atlanteans knew how to rush over the planet in order to deceive each other as soon as possible; temples were also desecrated and science became the subject of speculation and contention. The same thing happened in construction, as if they did not dare to build solidly! They also rebelled against the Hierarchy of Light and were suffocated by their own egoism. They also violated the balance of underground forces and created a catastrophe by mutual efforts.

The salvation of humanity lies in the realization that the World is controlled by the Cosmic Mind. And the crown of the Cosmic Reason is the Reason of the Hierarchy of Light. The Great Kumaras (Higher Teachers) come to Earth to accelerate human evolution, it is they who show us the evolutionary direction. They are embodied in all races and nationalities, as the founders of religions and philosophy, as the Great Sages and mentors of the peoples. They take on a physical shell in order to shift the consciousness of lost humanity and cleanse the old teachings from delusions and distortions. They were all once human. They are former people who have grown into gods through a selfless life. For there are no Gods who were not once human.

The Hierarchy of Light really exists; exists as a Stronghold of Knowledge and Love. And all great discoveries, all great ideas invariably come from this Source. And in catastrophic situations, it is the Elder Brothers of humanity who send warnings to the best people on the planet, and whoever listens to them will be saved. As mentioned above, our planet is now in a critical situation. This is reality. People must realize it in order to join forces in eradicating evil and stop wars, stop moral decay. Everyone must adjust their lives in accordance with the laws of evolution.

“Let's remember the testament of the ancients... Before stepping into the great future, let's remember the past and comprehend the present. Let's think together about what wisdom has been talking about in the language of legends and tales for thousands of years. Perhaps this knowledge will come in handy along the way.
