The Primordial Catastrophe
Filed Under Entertainment
The mystique of Atlantis has mystified the metaphysically inclined and baffled historians for more than two thousand years. There are more ideas concerning what that realm entailed and how the remains can be recovered than virtually any other story of a Golden Age. The legend of a lost continent which predated our earliest records has lived on precisely for the reason that it holds so much meaning to the quester after knowledge.
New Age book aficionados can enjoy a veritable mountain of publications dealing with the enigma of Atlantis, both non-fiction and a more fantastic read. The topic is in many cases grouped with reincarnation, and is sometimes referred to in Awakening Movement prophecy.
Socrates’ student, Plato, originally wrote chronicling a forgotten Paradise, known as Atlantis, about twenty-four hundred years ago. According to Plato, the lost Island lay near the Straits of Gibraltar and thrived until approximately ten millennia earlier.
Prolific author Edgar Cayce conceived of Atlantis as a vast continent, rivaling the dimensions of Greenland. As recounted in the seerís amazing vision, the inhabitants of the Island had mastered supernatural telepathic qualities and tools, and were the progenitors of the oddly congruent pyramid building civilizations of the ancient Egyptians and the Empires of native America.
Conjectures suggesting the site of Atlantis include the Eastern Indian Ocean to the Americas, although the likeliest options, of course, are Mediterranean islands, particularly Crete and Cyprus.
It might never be certain the actual details, nevertheless, we’d be foolish to doubt: the cycle of growth and catastrophe has played out before, possibly many times, before the earliest twinkle of what we generally think of as the dawn of civilization.
