4.2 Atlantis When Atlantis was in its full power there was a group of people who knew that things were gradually changing and changing for the worse. They began to make plans to leave Atlantis and also to salvage as much knowledge as was possible. Two groups were really in power, though only one seemed to be, but the other was content to remain in the background while they laid the groundwork for complete control within the central group. Although there were supposed to be automatic controls to prevent this very thing these controls were circumvented in such a way that no-one was aware that it was happening. Whenever someone did become suspicious and check on what was really happening the silent group had him removed or discredited in such a way that no one wanted to dispute in case they should also fall under suspicion. Everything was deliberately distorted to such an extent that even the holiest of them could be made to look guilty if this group so chose. So control slipped gradually from the one group to the other, and silent watchers decided to plan towards the moment when everything would reach such a state of anarchy and confusion that society could no longer function in a constructive way. Copies of books, plans for machines etc., were smuggled to pre-arranged areas and there sealed against whatever could or would happen. When the inevitable day of destruction occurred the group itself made plans to get away before the whole island went up in flame and ruins. They left in groups scattered to settle in the, to them, backward countries and islands which they calculated as not being in the way of whatever devastating backlash might occur when their own homeland finally disintegrated under the madness of the people who were now openly vying for control. Not everyone .managed to escape in time, but on the whole the plans went very well. (Today ,the offspring of these survivors all cling to sunny islands and tropic climates, as their inner being tells them that such is home). When the group that had fled Atlantis reached asylum in the countries they had chosen, they left cairns to be guarded. In each cairn were the manu scripts containing the knowledge of the beginnings, continuity and endings of their island, their people and their whole way of life. They could not help most of the populace as they were already being watched and would have had no time to convince anyone as to what was happening. Then no one would have survived, so for the greater good they stole away and left their homeland and loved ones to a certain doom. The records were not destroyed as they were hidden in such a way as to survive any catastrophe (barring an unforeseen one which God might have allowed as a natural result of the force). (17.2.71) Atlantis sank. It was over in a very short time as it sank like a stone with no moments of lingering or hesitation. Almost the earth opened to swallow it from sight, but that finality was spared them though the men and women who had fled earlier knew that their homeland was gone. With saddened hearts they turned to their new lives with a determination that it should not have died in vain. But it is almost in vain and now Atlantis rises to eventually become a haven and a rallying place for the people to flee to, the same old tragedy in reverse. We never seem to learn and now it is one final chance, for lands do not seesaw back and forth to give erring peoples the opportunity to repeat their follies again and again! This time we repent and change as there will be no next time for us on this world. It is leadership at fault, as a good leader can guide anyone to the right choice if he and his aides are pure and Christlike in their living. Greed for power, and cowardice, has turned our leaders into pawns of evil, Mankind is plumetting on the march to destruction. War is but an excuse to satisfy owners of large businesses, even the Russians are ruled by their leaders' greed rather than by any ideology. In time no country shall be ruled by such men, or in such a way. Other worlds are self-ruled in the truest sense of the word, with chosen people to implement the general desires. Rules are few as almost no-one has any desire to transgress on their neighbours rights and properties. And there are no separate nations. People are gathered by congeniality of tastes, interests, and wherever their particular skills may be needed. It is too difficult to picture in a few words the harmonic relationship that is attained which is so intrinsically balanced that no legislation in the world could achieve it without the willingness of the people themselves. They are truly self-governed. It is not unrealistic, for all of the unsociable desires of man are recognised and acknowledged when they occur now and then; and as each has been prey to these unwelcome thoughts at times, no shame is attached to he who is tempted and conquers. Not many do not conquer, even if only after a time of self-exile and contemplation until normalcy is restored. Society, if such it can be named, frowns on unbridled expressions of any matter which offends neighbours, in sound or deed; and such people would soon find themselves unseen and unheard. The total withdrawal of a whole body of people soon isolates such an errant person, although he is accepted again wholeheartedly and without questions, once his inner harmony has been restored. It is difficult to say "criminal element", for while one's behaviour might not do in one gathering place where everyone's interests co-ordinate there is always another community somewhere where the particular behaviour would fit in. Destructive or evil deeds are recognised nowhere and really never manifest themselves. There is no need, man must work but it is never a hopeless task to find enough to feed and care for themselves and, as you would call it, family. Daily sustenance is always there, everyone contributes their labours to that end, the extras they work for, if they choose, are to do with their arts and occupations when not working. All discoveries, inventions, machines etc., are for common use and belong to no one person or group. Labour is voluntary, as is everything, and those with aptitudes are listed on a form of roster. Some work at a thing fulltime while others may come and go between other duties. Death is known, but not as a darkness, simply a time to leave and a passing on to other duties. It is not mourned or feted, simply treated as a natural event. (19.2.71) When Atlantis sank, the tidal action around the world was catastrophic. There are legends concerning this and histories of tremendous seas wreaking havoc along shores and far inland as well. Much of the lands close by were devastated and islands of small circumference simply disappeared. The peoples who left knew enough to travel as far away as possible, and certainly to higher lands, or even on the other side of those high lands. Certainly there was a great scattering, though the last ones to leave were not able to travel far enough to escape problems or strandings. The later ones lost sophisticated equipment and many had to remain where they reached (touched down). There was a mixture of emigrant types, all mainly of a nature disapproving of the dissoluteness of their peoples, but when some were faced with a loss of utopia they did not fare as humanely as we would like to think. Many, especially those closest to the catastrophe, treated the "natives" amongst whom they found themselves as vassals, not slaves as such, but someone to be used. Altruism came more easily to the ones who were able to farthest distance themselves, not that they escaped with more, they didn't, but because they were more emotionally prepared for the transition and were able to view their surroundings and their situation with a more understanding and accepting attitude. The late leavers were either of a very altruistic nature who stayed on to keep Atlantis going as long as they could while allowing as many good persons as possible to escape; or those who procrastinated, largely in an effort to smooth things over, find some sort of compromise or solution which would enable them to preserve their "paradise". They did not want to leave, for many reasons, so their egress was late and reluctant. So they did not spiritually fare well, and bred badly, mainly mixing indiscriminately, not caring what form of progeny they would leave to the world. Their offspring have fostered a hangdog, reluctant view of life which continues to this day, a strange mix of people who club together in spiteful camaraderie, a sort of "us against the world", surly and truculent, and scorning refining, or the refined. They are the peasant types who often seem better bred than the true peasant and yet without the humanity of that class. From them you can expect only cynicism, and self-serving, never to be trusted, even by their own. A true Atlantean never bred indiscriminately; if there were none of their own within the accepted circles, non-relating, then there was strict abstention. All relationships with the aborigines were ones of genuine dignity and empathy, there were no betrayals of either peoples. Therefore the Atlanteans who spread, spread thinly, and left only a sprinkling of ancestry throughout the ages, but where they touched down their presence was always unmistakeable (when the signs of presence were found), whatever they gave to the lands and peoples around them was of intellect and high morality. We are so tempted here to explain where they all went, but suffice it to say that many were rescued from untenable positions in the wilds of many lands (some by their own peoples who were fortunate enough to be able to reproduce a means of travel) and then most were removed altogether to another "earth". They were not to be left here as they were an anomaly, they were persons out of time, mixing with natives who could only view them with awe, as Gods, and that was not meant to be, as the Atlanteans would have led development in other parts of the world at too fast a pace. They would not have been able to prevent it as they were exceptionally advanced in every way. Schematically they realised that the original populations needed to be left to develop on their own; humanely they were always drawn to help the peoples, it was hurtful to stand by and watch suffering, disease, want and death when they had the knowledge to ease, if not prevent it. The world would have become topsy turvy in development and it was felt that only a terrible future would result from a "hot house" forcing of growth. Looking at the world now we wonder if it could have been any worse than what has resulted, but of course, ethically, it had to be done as it has been done, allowing for the fact that any artificial influences were in remote areas and soon covered over and forgotten. What took place on Atlantis so long ago is taking place again now, the degeneration of the human spirit/soul, and no doubt most of the races will be destroyed. It needn't be inevitable because a mass of humanity, no matter how large, can be looked after when they are not stirred up, confused, or wrongly educated. However, the returned Atlanteans have their work cut out for them, and rescue or assistance from off planet is not to be relied on. The last interference that way was to prevent interference in the natural order of things, so "space-ship rescues" aren't really about to be the order of the day. In the long run planet Earth and its fate is up to the inhabitants, with strong leadership seeded through rebirths. But the leader's can't do, so much as instruct, so the rest of you will need to be ready to follow, and to help as much and as intelligently as possible. That means health, mentally, physically and spiritually; discipline and altruism. It can be done, just keep the vibrations strong and positive and we shall see that they are not wasted. (24.8.85) Further to all of the things that have been said, claimed or speculated about Atlantis, it needs to be understood that these people were to be the ideal. the ultimate development. They were certainly that for some time, but the utopia that was produced by advanced intellects and spiritual beings proved to be its undoing. When minds are active and intelligent they need to be used, to invent, to improve, not just keep things running smoothly. Even the spiritual development needed some outlet; when goodness and kindness are universal it can become blunted, no-one else needs it. and Man's legacy has always been to be needed, to have his capacities needed if you wish to put it that way. Unfortunately this realisation dawned but slowly on the peoples, and before there was a chance for the need to be dealt with by deciding what to do further with their superior skills, some had already begun tinkering with the dangerous keys to life, genetically, atomically etc. There were those who realised the dangers and turned to others to question and find alternate answers; but some people there were who became so engrossed, so excited with the further possibilities within their reach that they went underground rather than give up the experiments. Thus it was that human aberrations were formed, and an atomic culture of an enormous power and complexity came about. None could be controlled of course, and again, to paraphrase Adam and the apple, new knowledge gave the awareness that sin was an actual existing "thing". Atlantis was actually the Garden of Eden, just that much further along. At that time man had great knowledge and technical abilities, along with the humanistic morals and ethics. What all that proved was, again, that Eden, Paradise, Utopia, etc., is not the ideal for Man's nature. To have gifts one must use them, to remain strong man must strive, to keep alive empathy, pity, love of fellowman, then there must always be someone lesser needing those qualities. It is not really Man's fault that all the great schemes "come unstuck". What happens is that when one's capacities are dammed up then the inward implosion or outward eruption is bound to be harmful. But out of each of the catastrophes over the millennia, Mankind emerges stronger, even more knowledgeable, and hopefully, this time. further advanced ethically as well. There's no reason it should not happen unless the wrong "sorts" of personalities survive; the coldly scientific perhaps, or the amorally inclined, they who would dictate life on their own terms. So that is why we here urge always that the good must survive in great numbers, and Man must travel onwards in his inner growth; until then he and all of his offspring will be confined to this Earth. (25.8.85) In the world are many influences that as often contradict one another as verify the facts we are trying to pass on. When the troubles really begin there must be concerted effort by everyone to work, as confusion will reign everywhere and there will need to be a core of order and calmness. The time has come when the world has need of every believer in God and the truth. In every corner of the world people are preparing themselves. The world as we know it is breaking up as well as breaking down and when the end comes it will be very quick. It becomes apparent as time passes, with one catastrophe after another, that this world cannot function properly for too much longer. Atlantis is rising to resume its rightful place on the surface. There are caves and underground rooms, vaults if you will, containing equipment and the stored knowledge necessary to the initiates. Only a chosen few will have the powers to breach the entrances to these rooms, as there is much there that must not be revealed until the time is right. If even some of the machines were seen Mankind would turn in on itself as new ammunition was brought to bear. Machines that could make weather behave where and when needed, a machine that would clear the way through all obstacles and enable great objects to be transported in a matter of hours without the aid of blocks and tackles (or the equivalent, in your age). Books containing the knowledge of the Ages will be made available to the peoples able to understand them. Before any moves can be made to re-building the future from the wreckage Man will need to know the truth of what has happened before now, what mistakes were made, and what must be done to ensure that these errors won't be repeated. We will not be given another chance on this Earth if we fail, and all of us are determined not to fail this time. In each area there already exist storerooms and hidden places with auxiliary supplies and instructions for their use. Any hilly terrain is the natural place for them as it would be difficult to conceal entrances in flat and bare lands. There are some things there, also, but not of the most significance. (15.2.71)
