Atlantis

🌊 What Is Atlantis?

Atlantis is a mythical lost continent/civilization, first described by Plato around 360 B.C. in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias. According to him:

Atlantis was a powerful and advanced island nation beyond the Pillars of Hercules (modern Strait of Gibraltar), which sank into the ocean in a single day and night of misfortune, around 9,000 years before his time.


πŸ—ΊοΈ Core Elements of the Atlantis Myth (Plato’s Version)

  • Technologically advanced, utopian society

  • Located on a vast island in the Atlantic Ocean

  • Destroyed by a natural cataclysm due to moral/spiritual corruption

  • Intended by Plato as an allegory about the dangers of hubris and the fall of civilizations


🧿 Edgar Cayce’s Version of Atlantis

Cayce, in trance readings, went way beyond Plato. He described Atlantis as:

🌍 A Real, Physical Civilization

  • Located between Europe, Africa, and the Americas

  • Peaked around 50,000 to 10,000 B.C.

  • Destroyed in three stages, the last being around 10,500 B.C.
    (Interestingly, that lines up with pre-Ice Age melt and some modern geological anomalies.)

πŸ’  Highly Advanced Society

  • Mastery of:

    • Crystal technology

    • Energy fields

    • Anti-gravity

    • Genetic manipulation

  • Had access to the “Firestone” or Tuaoi Stone — a kind of power generator crystal

πŸŒ“ Spiritually Dualistic

  • Split between:

    • Sons of the Law of One: aligned with divine/spiritual principles

    • Sons of Belial: self-serving, materialistic, power-hungry

πŸ›• Ties to Other Ancient Civilizations

  • Survivors of Atlantis fled to:

    • Egypt (influenced the pyramids and mystery schools)

    • Central/South America (connected to Mayan/Incan cultures)

    • Europe

  • Said Ra Ta, a high priest of Atlantis, was a previous incarnation of Cayce himself


🌍 Where Was Atlantis Supposed to Be?

Depending on who you ask:

Theory Location
Plato’s account Beyond the Pillars of Hercules (Atlantic Ocean)
Cayce’s readings Mid-Atlantic, between Europe & the Americas
Modern fringe theories Caribbean, Azores, Antarctica, even under the Sahara
Mainstream archaeology Atlantis = Allegory, not a real place

🧠 Why Atlantis Still Captures Us

  • It’s a symbol of a lost golden age

  • Raises questions about human origins and forgotten knowledge

  • Feeds into theories about ancient aliens, cataclysms, hollow earth, and earth cycles


πŸ›Έ Related Themes in Esoteric Circles

  • Lemuria / Mu – a supposed older civilization in the Pacific

  • Akashic Records – where the history of Atlantis is preserved

  • DNA & Soul Memory – some believe Atlanteans are reincarnating now to awaken the “ancient knowledge”


πŸŒ€ TL;DR

Atlantis isn’t just a sunken island story—it’s become a metaphysical archetype of:

  • Forgotten wisdom

  • The rise and fall of civilizations

  • The balance between spiritual growth and technological power
