Atlantis

"We have been looking for proof of Atlantis without success because we have been looking for evidence of beings like ourselves—human beings. We didn’t realize that the documentation was in front of us all along." p. 179, When We Were Gods

First Mention of Atlantis

Plato’s Timaeus and Criticas are considered to be the first written record of the ancient lost continent of Atlantis. Plato lived in 5,000 BCE. In the Timaeus and Criticas, Plato describes Atlantis as a large island in the Atlantic Ocean that disappeared as a huge inundation of water caused by volcanic and earthquake activity 9,000 years before Plato’s time—that would be in 14,000 BCE. He also said that Atlantis was a stepping-stone to the next continent, ostensibly North America.

Legend

Although Plato was the first to write specifically about Atlantis, there are many civilizations and cultures on earth that refer to devastations by a huge inundation by water. The story of Noah and the Flood in the Christian Bible is just one. Some cultures, for example, the Mayan, have legends saying that advanced people came from the East, which would have been from the Atlantis Ocean, to teach the local people.

Colonization

There are also legends of advanced civilizations that existed before the modern era. For example, many speculate that the ancient Egyptian civilization was more advanced 6,000 years ago than it was during the early years of the second millennium. Some believe that ancient

Egypt

was a colonized by Atlantis and benefited from the Atlantean’s advanced technology.

Location

No one really knows where Atlantis was. They can only speculate. And speculate they do. Often, when archeologists find regular patterns in the sea floor in the waters adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, they proclaim they have found the lost continent of Atlantis. So far, no one has definitely found anything that they could prove was Atlantis. Usually the archeologists discover the ruins they have found are not old enough. Or, they discover that the regular patterns on the sea floor are not manmade but a natural formation. Here are some of the proposed locations of Atlantis: Spain, the Island of Spartel, off the coast of Cuba, the Island of Andros, off the coast of Cyprus, the island of Crete, off the coast of Bimini Island in the Caribbean . . . there is even one theory that says that massive displacements of the earth’s crust caused Atlantis to shift to the position of the South Pole and that Antarctica was once Atlantis.

Atlantis Exists

Although our first written documentation of Atlantis occurred in Plato’s Timaeus in 5,000 BCC, the topic has to be of electrifying importance on an archetypal level. It must be. Every time an archeological dig is connected to the possibility of unearthing proof of the existence of Atlantis, the news item is galvanized to front page status. People read articles about Atlantis. Even people who believe Atlantis is a figment of humanity’s mass imagination are mesmerized by stories about Atlantis.

Memories of Atlantis

Edgar Cayce, North America’s best documented psychic, said in his trance readings said that although most of what was once the continent of Atlantis is now buried under years of sediment and miles of water under the ocean, the memory of Atlantis lives on in our minds. He said that many of us carry memories of our experiences of that long-ago past within the deep recesses of our minds—because Atlantis really existed and because we were there. He also said that many of us have come into the earth again now because we presently, as we were in Atlantis, are on the brink of destruction. Some of us are here to do our best to avoid the mistakes we made during that long-ago time. Others are repeating the same mistakes again. He said that many of the leaders of the major nations of the world are again wielding power as they did in Atlantis.
