The Myth of the Hidden Trove of Wisdom
Written by admin on Wednesday, January 30th, 2008 in Travel.
The mystique of a prehistoric advanced society has captured the imaginations of students of the unknown and perplexed historians for over two millennia. With our own rapid “magical” advances in communication, New Age books connoisseurs can now enjoy a massive list of volumes treating different aspects of the myth of Atlantis, both from a scholarly perspective and science fiction books.
There are more thoughts regarding what that fantastic island engendered and how the remains might be encountered than virtually any other Greek myth. The legend of a Utopian culture which predated our earliest records has endured exactly for the reason that it resonates so clearly to the quester after knowledge.
Renowned prophet Edgar Cayce conceived of Atlantis as a large land mass, about the scale of Australia. As recounted in the seer’s vivid vision, the inhabitants of the Island were accustomed to supernatural telepathic talents and mechanisms, and were the progenitors of the peculiarly similar pyramid building peoples of the founders of Western Civilization and the Empires of native America. The theme is identified by many writers with the mystery of 2012.
Some modern advocates suggest the people of Atlantis were pioneers of alternative energy sources, mastering technologies based on the power of the sun.
Conjectures suggesting the site of Atlantis stretch from the Eastern Indian Ocean to the Carribbean, though, of course the likeliest possibilities that are small local islands with a long tradition, most notably Sardinia and Malta.
The world may never know the true story, but there is one lesson which is hard to deny: cultural innovation has attained high levels of advancement rising and falling in a loop of proliferation and decimation, perhaps in a recurring pattern, in the forgotten recesses of that which we often are used to thinking of as marking dawn of civilization.
