The endearing enchanting EAGLE heard the call and established a new aerie, from whence new dreams could take flight and ride the illimitable air.

Thank you!

Many of us lived in Atlantis, however the universe hasn't deemed it time for me to remember my lives there, so I shall have to continue being patient. Maybe the tales on this thread will jog a few memories.

love and peace to all

I have a great idea! since our Darling RobertO is such a super narrator of Myths and Legends, I shall humbly request him to share Atlantis with us all, from the Cayce readings.

Thank you dear friend

Peace & Love

Olinda

what a lovely sense of humour you have! I laughed out loud!

THANK YOU!

Love and Laughter,

Laura

The white witch wove her spell
so well,
that now, of Atlantis,
I shall tell.

The following is excerpted from "The Golden Thread of Oneness" a xeroxed copy of which Olinda generously sent me.

"Proof of the existence of Atlantis would make many theorists, explorers, philosophers, and spiritual seekers very happy. Still, other than the psychic records of Atlantis, we have little more than circumstantial evidence to guide us -- that and the stirrings of the soul's memory that urges us ever toward new discoveries of our ancient past. Atlantis contains perhaps the singlemost important strand of the golden thread, so a brief overview of the disputed lost continent is in order.

Edgar Evans Cayce, the youngest of the great psychic's sons, cites several scientific discoveries in his book 'Edgar Cayce on Atlantis' that offer evidence that a mid-Atlantic continent is probable. For example, and article originally published in M.I.T.'s 'Technical Engineering News' in 1948
relates the story of a ship's crew that was laying a submarine cable to the depth of two miles in 1898. They lost the end of the cable, and then, while trying to fetch it back with grappling hooks, dragged up some material from the ocean floor. The material proved to have been lava, which scientists verified not only must have originally solidified in the open air, but that it must have been above the water sometime in the last 15,000 years. Edgar Evans Cayce also cites the discovery in 1957 of a deep-sea core taken from a two-mile depth on the Mid-Atlantic Submarine Ridge that contained, 'exclusively fresh water plants (diatoms).'

In 'Fingerprints of the Gods,' a book about the author's search for a 'lost civilization,' Graham Hancock offers much convincing evidence that Atlantis, or something like it, once existed. He explores
evidence such as the 'flash-frozen' mammoths in northern Siberia and Alaska and the '90-foot tall fruit trees locked in permafrost deep inside the Arctic Circle.' From there, we can compare similarities of pyramid-building, hieroglyphics, embalming, and many other 'coincidences' on both sides of the Atlantic. We can also ponder the common mythologies, especially of the Mayans, Aztecs, and Hopi, and ancient stories the world over that speak of a 'great flood.'

The multitude of arguments for or against the existence of Atlantis are innumerable and fall outside the scope of this work. However, one of the most familiar accounts of Atlantis is that of Plato, who wrote of it in his 'Timaeus' and 'Critias' dialogues, describing in detail a continent with a city ringed with canals that had sunk in a volcanic disaster. It seems that Plato had heard the story from Critias around 550 B.C., who had heard it from the Greek lawmaker, Solon, around 600 B.C., who had heard it during his visit to the city of Sais, in Lower Egypt. Bauval and Gilbert, in 'The Orion Mystery,' make a bold statement about this: 'It had been told to Solon by Egyptian priests who said that mysterious people from a place called Atlantis had invaded much of the Mediterranean basin as well as Egypt some 'nine thousand years' ago, and that records of them still survived in Egypt.'

It should come as no surprise to the reader that most early Roman and Greek writers asserted that the great sages Pythagoras, Plato, and Homer had actually received their philosophies from ancient Egypt. Collaborators Bauval and Hancock, in their book 'The Message of the Sphinx,' maintain that those early writers 'held it to be axiomatic that the Pharaohs and their priests were guardians of accurate records concerning certain highly significant events that had taken place long, long ago.' They maintain that these records were actually seen and studied at Heliopolis (site of the Temple of the Sun), by Herodotus, Solon, and Pythagoas (fifth to sixth centuries B.C.).

While proof of the existence of these records has not yet been discovered in Egypt (some suggest that they were destroyed in the library at Alexandria), one can only wonder if the priests with whom Solon spoke were referring to Ra Ta's 'Hall of Records,' even at the late date of 600 B.C.

According to the Cayce readings, Atlantis had been a time and place of unlimited creative potential in a beautiful land that was a part of the Garden of Eden. It was when humans began living in physical bodies -- the time of Adam. The Atlanteans had wondrous technology, including lighter-than-air ships and electricity. They communicated telepathically and were able to create their reality by projecting thought forms into matter according to their desires.

'As to their forms in the physical sense, these were much rather of the nature of thought forms, or able to push out of themselves in that direction in which its development took shape in thought -- much in the way and manner as the amoeba would in the waters of a stagnant bay, or lake, in the present. As these took form, by the gratifying of their own desire for that as builded or added to the material conditions, they became hardened or set -- much in the form of the existent human body of the day. . . (364-3)'

The Cayce readings say that many people alive in this century on earth, especially in the United States, are the reincarnated souls of former Atlanteans, and free will was at play then as it is now -- the free will to choose oneness or separation. This is because in Atlantis, as long as our desires were divinely aligned, we could still speak with God, face to face. Once we began to desire individual gratification and power, we created 'the many' and abandoned 'the One.'

Ultimately, however, Atlantis self-destructed because it had become a 'civilization being disturbed by corruption from within to such measures that the elements join in bringing devastation to a stiff-necked and adulterous people.' (5750-1)
Many people observe corruption around us today, and, if we were the Atlanteans, we know at subconscious levels that 'we have seen this all before.' Atlantean corruption, however, actually buried the spirituality of an entire people, forcing humanity to rediscover and rebuild it from scratch. This was corruption at the very core of our ability to make contact with the Universal Consiousness -- of our very oneness with God.

According to the readings, Atlantis wasn't destroyed all at once, but underwent three periods during which the 'elements' joined together to create upheavals. These periods of destruction reflect, in the earth itself, the spiritual upheavals that were taking place in the hearts and minds of the people.
The first of the destructions, around 52,000 B.C., was around the time when 'the sons [and
daughters] of God saw the daughters [and sons] of men, and saw them that they were fair.' (Genesis 6:2 KJV) For at this time of the 'Eden of the world' (364-4), the male and female were as one. Atlantis's intitial destruction was caused by a misuse of physical forces, gases, and electricity that broke the continent into five smaller islands. The second destruction, around 28,000 B.C., was actually the Great Flood described in Genesis, from which Noah escaped with his retinue in the ark; it was caused by misuse of the divine forces for selfish gain.

The third and final destruction of Atlantis occurred in 10,500 B.C., around the period that Ra Ta began reforming Egypt. This was a time when the remaining Atlanteans fled, migrating westward to Yucatan (ancestors of the Maya, Olmecs, Toltecs, Mexica, Aztecs), North America (the Hopi and Iroquois), Britain (the Druids), the Pyrenees
(Basques), and also, of course, eastward to Egypt. It was the Atlantean refugees in Egypt whose bodies and minds had to be corrected in the Temple of Sacrifice and the Temple Beautiful.

Suffice it to say that Graham Hancock and many other supporters of the existence of Atlantis argue strenuously that geologically an entire continent COULD have disappeared over time, many thousands of years ago. Instead of reviewing these arguments, however, we will rediscover and remember our oneness much more directly by exploring the psychic records regarding Atlantis which, in the Cayce readings, number over 600.

What role did our separation from oneness play in the breakup and sinking of Atlantis? The answer to this is 'everything,' and we will look to the 'Children of the Law of One' for the deeper understanding."

Once a long, long time ago in a city by the name of Corinth lived King Claucus. He was the son the ill-fated Sisyphus who was condemned forever to the Underworld to eternally roll a large boulder up a hill and whenever it got close to the very top it would just roll back down again. Zeus had persecuted Sisyphus because he once betrayed a secret of his and used to feed his chariot horses human flesh in order to make then strong and robust for battle. In the end, he ended up falling off his chariot and immediately his horses swallowed him up.
Now Bellerophon, a beautiful and youthful man was thought to be the son of King Glaucus however it was also said that his father was of higher divinity, the great god Poseidon - god of the sea and earthquakes. His mother was Eurynome, a mortal woman taught by the goddess of wisdom, Athena. Eurynome was of such intelligence that she was considered an equal among the gods of Olympus.
Bellerophon was thus seen as a higher figure than other mortal men and his one desperate wish was to tame the wild heart of the enchanting Pegesus - a horse with wings to fly on. Pegesus was a spawn of the Gorgon, otherwise known as the evil Medusa's blood when Perseus slayed her.
This dream of Bellerophon's was seen as only that, a dream, with no possibility of reality of manifestation. The Pegesus was thought to be forever wild and untamable which drove Bellerophon into extreme desire.
A wise sage of Corinth by the name of Polyidus told Bellerophon that he must first go to the temple of Athena and sleep there, she would visit him in his dreams and tell what he must do to make his dream come true. Bellerophon did as the old man said and once asleep Athena bid him to wake up andtake a golden bridle she had fashioned for him that would surely tame the free-spirited creature.
He quickly ran to find the Pegesus and found him by a stream sipping quietly and peacefully at the cool blue water. Bellerophon managed to bridle the Pegesus without any interference and they immediately took to the sky flying in all manner of directions. Together they grew to become a powerful and unstoppable team.
One day when Bellerophon and Pegesus went to Argos to meet King Proetus, they were faced with a dilemma for the king's wife, Anteia had fallen in love with Bellerophon and him to seduce her. Unfortunately he did not have the same feelings which angered Anteia and drove her to tell Proetus that he had raped her and for that crime must immediately be executed. As the custom was in those days it was not acceptable for a host to do ill against his guest so he could not kill him (don't you just hate that!) so he sent Bellerophon to the King of Lycia in Asia Minor with what Proetus called an 'urgent letter'.
Bellerophon and Pegesus took off into the heavens for Asia immediately and stayed with the king for several days before he asked for the letter. The letter read that the king was to kill him because of the crime he had committed against Anteia. Unfortunately Bellerophon was already a guest and he could not kill him so the king set unreachable tasks which were of course reachable with Pegesus. Soon the twosome had conquered the Solymi (a gang of mighty warriors), Chimaera (an animal which had a lion's head, a goat's body and a serpent's tail), and the Amazons (no, not the internet bookstore).
Eventually Proetus grew to respect Bellerophon so much that he wanted to kill him no longer and as a sign of respect, he gave to him his daughter's hand in marriage. Still this was not enough for Bellerophon and he was eager (being such a supreme being among men and all) to find a place on Mount Olympus, although whenever he tried to fly on Pegesus up to the house of the gods, the creature would simply restrain his attempt. This turned Bellerophon into a miserable old man who eventually died with a vengeful heart towards the gods. As for Pegesus, well he flew to Olympus alone where he found a home in Zeus' stables and whenever you see a thunderbolt or a streak of lightning sent down by Zeus' you'll know that it was always brought to him by the Pegesus.

Let me begin by observing first of all, that nine thousand was the sum of years which had elapsed since the war which was said to have taken place between those who dwelt outside the Pillars of Heracles and all who dwelt within them; this war I am going to describe. Of the combatants on the one side, the city of Athens was reported to have been the leader and to have fought out the war; the combatants on the other side were commanded by the kings of Atlantis, which, as was saying, was an island greater in extent than Libya and Asia, and when afterwards sunk by an earthquake, became an impassable barrier of mud to voyagers sailing from hence to any part of the ocean. The progress of the history will unfold the various nations of barbarians and families of Hellenes which then existed, as they successively appear on the scene; but I must describe first of all Athenians of that day, and their enemies who fought with them, and then the respective powers and governments of the two kingdoms.

Now the country was inhabited in those days by various classes of citizens;-there were artisans, and there were husbandmen, and there was also a warrior class originally set apart by divine men. The latter dwelt by themselves, and had all things suitable for nurture and education; neither had any of them anything of their own, but they regarded all that they had as common property; nor did they claim to receive of the other citizens anything more than their necessary food. And they practised all the pursuits which we yesterday described as those of our imaginary guardians. Concerning the country the Egyptian priests said what is not only probable but manifestly true, that the boundaries were in those days fixed by the Isthmus, and that in the direction of the continent they extended as far as the heights of Cithaeron and Parnes; the boundary line came down in the direction of the sea, having the district of Oropus on the right, and with the river Asopus as the limit on the left. The land was the best in the world, and was therefore able in those days to support a vast army, raised from the surrounding people. Even the remnant of Attica which now exists may compare with any region in the world for the variety and excellence of its fruits and the suitableness of its pastures to every sort of animal, which proves what I am saying; but in those days the country was fair as now and yielded far more abundant produce. How shall I establish my words? and what part of it can be truly called a remnant of the land that then was? The whole country is only a long promontory extending far into the sea away from the rest of the continent, while the surrounding basin of the sea is everywhere deep in the neighbourhood of the shore. Many great deluges have taken place during the nine thousand years, for that is the number of years which have elapsed since the time of which I am speaking; and during all this time and through so many changes, there has never been any considerable accumulation of the soil coming down from the mountains, as in other places, but the earth has fallen away all round and sunk out of sight. The consequence is, that in comparison of what then was, there are remaining only the bones of the wasted body, as they may be called, as in the case of small islands, all the richer and softer parts of the soil having fallen away, and the mere skeleton of the land being left. But in the primitive state of the country, its mountains were high hills covered with soil, and the plains, as they are termed by us, of Phelleus were full of rich earth, and there was abundance of wood in the mountains. Of this last the traces still remain, for although some of the mountains now only afford sustenance to bees, not so very long ago there were still to be seen roofs of timber cut from trees growing there, which were of a size sufficient to cover the largest houses; and there were many other high trees, cultivated by man and bearing abundance of food for cattle. Moreover, the land reaped the benefit of the annual rainfall, not as now losing the water which flows off the bare earth into the sea, but, having an abundant supply in all places, and receiving it into herself and treasuring it up in the close clay soil, it let off into the hollows the streams which it absorbed from the heights, providing everywhere abundant fountains and rivers, of which there may still be observed sacred memorials in places where fountains once existed; and this proves the truth of what I am saying.

Tnank you for your tale ... Gosh I really missed your story-telling ... the way you narrate the myths ... the words get into one and a flowing through takes place, as if you are in a trance ...
I did read the adventures of Bellarophon & Pegasus years back and it was simply great to read them again ...
I must add your sense of humour does give the adventurous stories a touch of lightness ...
I love reading your narrations keep them coming !
Gosh can't resist the touch of Astrology and I presume Bellarophon to be a Leo and Pegasus to be none other than a very wise Sagittarian and Queen Atheia to be Scorpio or Aries (Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned ! ) and her husband Proteus could be a Cancerian ...
love to you ... druid

what wonderful knowledge you share with us so lovingly ... I love your archeological expedition with your mind's eye and your fine highly tuned Scorpion intuition into your the Legend of Atlantis ...
Fascinating ... I look forward to more ...

love to you ... druid

Dear ESSENCE,

Dear Gali
You're so sweet need not beg, I promise I'll post some more of Atlantis' tales by the immortal Plato

Lots of Love
Seamistress

Sublime as always! Spin some more sweet sagas, please!

rc

I was wondering if anyone knew any Egyptian myths? I've always been fascinated by them but I don't really know them very well. Or how about sharing some Mayan myths Gali?!
Just a thought
