Atlantis - News, Updates, Images & Quotes

According to the secret tradition, it was during the later Atlantean epoch that black magic and sorcery dominated the esoteric schools, resulting in the bloody sacrificial rites and gruesome idolatry which ultimately overthrew the Atlantean empire and even penetrated the Aryan religious world.

The groups that managed to survive would inevitably have settled in foreign parts and gradually lost their racial uniqueness. They would eventually have assimilated into those tribes and nations that outnumbered them. If any were to return home in future ages it would have been descendants with blood mixed through interbreeding. What returned was never a pure stock. Those resettling ancestral homelands might not even recognize as their own the scant and faded remnants of civilization found amid the hills and valleys that had once been the sacred home of their fathers.

As the myths of Eastern people relate, it was white "god-men" from the far West who had arrived bringing wisdom. These myths merely recorded the migrations of exceptionally gifted peoples from lands ruined in the West. Some descendants of these migrating tribes would, during later periods of history, and after some semblance of normalcy had returned to their ancestral habitats, make the trek back again, taking with them their husbands, wives, and offspring of <em>foreign</em> race and blood.

The Atlantean empires spoken of in the works of Athenian philosopher Plato, that reportedly lay beyond the so-called "Pillars of Hercules" originally existed, according to Beaumont, on ancient Albion or Logres, that is in the British Isles. These Isles were either remnants of Atlantis itself, or were fragmented landmasses once connected to a larger continental mass that may have included Scandinavia, Iceland, Greenland, and the Arctic. This "Atlantean" area was known to the ancients as Hyperborea (meaning "Beyond North") or as Ultima Tule, Tula, and Tollan, and also as Arktos or Atzlan.

Although Mediterranean and Asian cultures went on to develop, refine, and also distort the cultural elements they inherited from the Western Elders, they were not the original manufacturers of them. The seeds of Eastern European and Asian civilization were transmitted not from Scythia, as most "Celtic" scholars concede, but from much farther West, from the greatly endowed "Atlantean" inhabitants of the "Furthest West Sunset Land," who fashioned by their art the colossal Western temples still to be seen at Stonehenge, Newgrange, Carrowkeel, Avebury, and Carnac.

In 1929, the author Elena Maria Whitshaw, wrote in her book Atlantis in Spain that the Spanish mariners and explorers, particularly during the time of Columbus, frequently visited the shores of Southern Ireland searching for evidence concerning the lost continent they referred to as Antilia. Clearly, the Spanish were in no doubt where to look for knowledge concerning the world that existed before the flood.

What then has exterminated so many species and whole genera? The mind is at first irresistibly hurried into the belief of some great catastrophe; but thus to destroy animals both large and small…we must shake the entire framework of the globe. No lesser physical event could have brought about this wholesale destruction not only in the Americas but in the entire world…Certainly no fact in the long history of the world is so startling as the wide and repeated extermination of its inhabitants

— Charles Darwin; From journal, on his Voyage of the H.M.S. Beagle (quoted by Michael Tsarion) view

The historian of merit asks if there existed a single society that did <em>not</em> record the fact that the world had arisen from a pyre or that the world's upturning had ended the epoch of ancestral god-kings.

This vast power, gathered into one, endeavored to subdue with a blow our country and yours and the whole of the region…then, Solon, your country shone forth, in the excellence of her virtue and strength among all mankind. She was preeminent in military skill and was the leader of the Hellenes…she defeated and triumphed over the invaders and preserved from slavery those who were not yet subjugated, and generously liberated all the rest of us who dwell between the Pillars. But afterwards, occurred violent earthquakes and floods and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men in a body sank into the earth and the Island of Atlantis in like manner disappeared in the depths of the sea

— Plato; Critias (quoted by Michael Tsarion view

Britain and Ireland were the remnants, wrote Beaumont, of the empires of Atlantis. And it is from these regions that the most civilized and sophisticated peoples originated.

— Michael Tsarion; The Irish Origins of Civilization, Volume 1 view

The first and most important argument concerns the <em>West to East</em> migration of the elements of civilization. This theory rests upon the understanding that there were, in prehistoric times, highly developed civilizations situated in the Western hemisphere. These civilizations were brought to an abrupt end approximately 13,000 years BC, by terrestrial upheavals of an unimaginable scale. The gnosis that had been accumulated by the advanced inhabitants of these hoary civilizations originated on the landmasses known today as Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales. These countries were once part of Atlantis or, more specifically, of the great continent of Appalachia. From these locations the gnosis was eventually carried Eastward across lost land bridges into Europe and Asia.

During the later Atlantean world, and again in our own modern civilization, there have been and are minds powerful but not virtuous. These two words are not always synonymous. Some of these perverted beings were actual demigods, as glorious as Satan himself, but their misdeeds and falsities sent them hurling into oblivion, like planets gone wrong. These demon gods bred black magic (the perversion of power) in the minds of men; and to this time, it has remained nurtured by man's besetting sin--selfishness.

— Manly P Hall; Magic: A Treatise on Esoteric Ethics view

The black magic of the past, the darkness that sank Atlantis when man made slaves of the demons of the elements and chained them to do his bidding, still survives to this day.

In 5067 BC these gods were moving the cosmos towards the next stage of human evolution as the sun entered the sign of Gemini. Just as, earlier, the impulse for the evolution of humankind had moved eastwards from drowning Atlantis to India, now it began to move westwards, as it continues to do today.

While the peoples of Atlantis had been all but eliminated, the emigrants travelled to new lands still occupied by aboriginal tribes.

A Greek historian of the fourth century BC, Theopompus of Chios, retells a story told two hundred years before Plato by Midas of Phrygia, that 'besides the well-known portions of the world - Europe, Asia, Libya (Africa) - there is another which is unknown, of incredible immensity where vast blooming meadows and pastures feed hers of various huge and mighty beasts and where the men are twice the height and live to twice the age of men'. As we have already seen, Enoch and the myths and legends of many cultures around the world recorded the prevalence of giants before the Great Flood.

Life on the islands of Atlantis was generally idyllic. In fact life was so good that eventually people could not bear it any longer and began to become restless, decadent and corrupt, searching after novelty and power. So Zeus decided to punish them. The islands were flooded until only small islets remained, like a skeleton sticking out of the sea. Then finally a great earthquake engulfed all that was left in the course of one day and one night.

— Mark Booth; The Secret History of the World view

The civilization on this island had been founded by the god Poseidon, and peopled by the descendants of his coupling with a beautiful woman called Cleito. [...]

As well as the main island, this Atlantean civilization also ruled over several lesser islands in the region.

The later Atlantean world crumbled because it wavered from the law. It forgot that Nature was the ruler of all things, and in attempting to survive unnaturally it was destroyed. Before its disintegration, however, the Ancient Wisdom passed into the new Aryan world, where from the heart of the lofty Himalayas its adepts and initiates began the process of building a new people to be the living tabernacles of the gods among men.

— Manly P Hall; What the Ancient Wisdom Expects of Its Disciples view

During the Atlantean periods of which Plato dreamed, the work of gathering and arranging the Ancient Wisdom went on apace, for the people of Atlantis were the greatest exponents of concrete thought the world has ever known. The Atlanteans never fully understood the wisdom that was theirs, for even in those early times the gods had withdrawn from the mass of humanity, and spoke to m an only through appointed priests and oracles.

Later, as the Atlantean sorcerers gained power again and were successful in infiltrating a culture established by their humane scions, they would instigate the atrocity of human sacrifice. Appearing and presenting themselves as the gods of the “fathers,” they would seduce and then ritually slaughter countless thousands.

The coming of the original “Serpent Race” was probably around 50,000 years ago (but could have been as recently as 30,000 years ago). Genetic experiments and hybridization took place some time after the building of Atlantis, for which the services of Neanderthal Man seems to have been required.

The wars of the “gods” probably began around 13,000 years ago, with the Pole Shift following soon after. The Earth attains a semblance of normalcy as the centuries pass.

The warlocks of Atlantis, who were never many to begin with, suffered heavy losses in the destruction of their continent, Atlantis. It can be conjectured that there were less than 100 of these totally alien beings left, though there is little to no certainty about this. They also lost most of their sophisticated alien technology. And the “Sons of the Serpents” together with their Adamic wards suffered enormous casualties also. It may be conjectured that there were only about 1,000 true “Sons of the Serpents” left in existence.

Evidence thus converges from numerous directions to support the conclusion that, on the testimony of radio-carbon and other dating techniques, immense physical and climatic changes occurred on Earth some 11,000 years or so ago – when an Ice Age that probably never existed came to an end, and an apparently uniformitarian regime was abruptly terminated.

— Allan and Delair; When the Earth Nearly Died view

...the prehistory of the Atlanteans and the race of Adam possessed peculiar similarities. The supermen of Plato’s island were drowned in a flood like the Adamites, the Giants of old time, men of renown, the men whose thoughts became wholly evil, destroyed in what is called the Flood or universal Deluge. The cause advanced for their destruction was in effect the same in both cases, they being accused of having mastered too many of the divine secrets of, as we should say, science, as the ancients named it, the gods.

— Comyns Beaumont; The Riddle of Prehistoric Britain view

Under the evil insinuations of their demon Thevetat, the Atlantis race became a nation of evil magicians...the giants and magicians and all flesh died and every man.

The history of the Old Testament is the history of Atlantis.

— Comyns Beaumont view

Many of the people who left Atlantis after the overthrow were themselves genetically altered and possessed what was called “magical powers,” which awed all that were witness to them. The extraterrestrial priests who sided with the Earth-people set themselves up as kings or more likely as the advisors of the indigenous but “magically endowed” kings. The Arthurian legends speak of such beings, for instance, Merlin. In other Celtic myths, we have Taliesin, Amergin, Tuan, Breas, Balor, Diancecht, Indech, Elathan, Lugh, Nuada, Culhulainn, Ossian, Finn Mac Cumhail, and a host of others. In these and other stories, the advisor, leader, or king has pronounced strength, wisdom, clairvoyance, beauty, and long life, which are all the possible results of genetic modification.

According to the traditions of many isolated peoples, the first great emperors in Asia were god-kings who came down from the sky, displayed amazing superhuman abilities, and took over. There was a veritable worldwide epidemic of these god-kings between 5,000 and 1,000 BC…

The Flood, to the world generally a vague and nebulous tradition, really conceals the most appalling visitation and its ravages in the British Isles and Scandinavian lands may be retraced to more considerable extent by the effects of what geologists term the “Drift” Age. It was no mere ice drift. It was sudden and terribly swift and violent.

It permanently affected the world’s climate towards greater extremes of cold and damp, lengthened the solar year by enlarging the world’s orbit. It shaped world history by compelling the flight of survivors to other less inhospitable climes and led in considerable degree to the dispersion of the Aryans. It inundated the British Isles for a period to a great extent except the higher lands. It was the drowning of Atlantis. The Flood immortalizes the collision of a fallen planet, later termed Satan, actually a cometary body, with our earth.

Atlantis was not a center of advanced human civilization, but was, rather, the creation of and home to alien beings that colonized the Earth.

Sun worship played an important part in nearly all the early pagan Mysteries. This indicates the probability of their Atlantean origin, for the people of Atlantis were sun worshipers. The Solar Deity was usually personified as a beautiful youth, with long golden hair to symbolize the rays of the sun.
