The mystique of Atlantis has mystified devotees of esoterica and bewildered historians for more than two thousand years. With the availability of the world’s libraries, New Age aficionados have at their disposal a veritable mountain of titles treating different aspects of the legend of Atlantis, both from a scholarly perspective and novels.

There are more theories about what that early race entailed and beneath which sea the wisdom of the ancients could be found than virtually any other Greek myth. Indeed, the topic of a lost continent which was destroyed in a cataclysm has engaged the imagination of generations exactly for the reason that it rings so true as our own culture reaches heights that may well presage catastrophe.

The Greek philosopher Plato originally wrote about a forgotten Paradise, that he named Atlantis, during the height of his own Athenian civilization. He believed Atlantis had been in the Atlantic Ocean and had perished about one hundred centuries before his time.

Renowned prophet Edgar Cayce described the island as a a huge expanse, about the scale of Australia. As recounted in the prophet’s amazing version, the people of Atlantis were gifted with many advanced telepathic talents and technologies, and gave rise to the strangely reminiscent solar-worshiping civilizations of the founders of Western Civilization and the pre-Columbian Americans. The theme is in many cases grouped with past lives along with such diverse topics as parapsychology, often figuring in Awakening prophecies.

Conjectures regarding the position of the remnants of the Island include the Indonesia to the Carribbean, although, naturally most of the focus centers on well-known possibilities which are islands in the vicinity, especially Crete and Malta.

We may never know the facts, nonetheless one thing seems clear: our species has achieved great levels of sophistication rising and falling in a process of growth and destruction, perhaps in a recurring pattern, long before what we usually consider as the earliest twinkle of time.
