Seeking the Perished Island
The mystery of a forgotten island has mystified the metaphysically inclined and confounded academics for over two millennia. Fortunately today’s Online book store aficionados can now enjoy a large selection of titles theorizing about the myth of Atlantis, both academically oriented and a more fantastic read.
There are more theories about what that ancient civilization engendered and beneath which sea the remains can be recovered than nearly any other Greek myth. Yet the tale of an advanced culture which preceded ours has persisted precisely because it explains many mysteries in the New Age.
American mystic Edgar Cayce wrote of the island as a large land mass, about the scale of Australia. As it is told in the medium’s complete vision, the inhabitants of the Island were accustomed to supernatural psionic qualities and tools, and seeded colonies to the oddly congruent solar-worshiping peoples of the founders of Western Civilization and the pre-Columbian Americans. The theme is frequently associated with magic.
There is even some evidence that the Atlanteans depended on sources of alternative energy, making advanced use of natural heat of the earth.
The most popular positions about the true whereabouts of the ruins vary widely from the Far East to the New World, although, of course the most promising candidates that are islands in the vicinity, particularly Crete and Malta.
The world may never know the true story, however, the evidence appears overwhelming: cultural innovation has achieved great levels of sophistication rising and falling in a process of proliferation and destruction, maybe over and again, long before the hazy halls of time we habitually are used to thinking of as marking “history”.
