Searching for the Ancient World

The puzzle of an ancient civilization has stimulated wonder among the metaphysically inclined and confounded archivists for a score of centuries. Fortunately today’s Metaphysical book store connoisseurs are able to choose from a vast array of publications treating different aspects of the legend of Atlantis, both from a scholarly perspective and fantasy & science fiction.

There are more ideas concerning what that ancient civilization was like and where it was located and beneath which sea the wisdom of the ancients might be encountered than practically any other of the many stories involving prehistoric superior cultures. The legend of an advanced culture which predated our earliest records has lived on precisely because it holds so much meaning in the New Age.

Renowned prophet Edgar Cayce conceived of the island as a vast continent, rivaling the dimensions of Greenland. As it is told in the medium’s vivid vision, the people of Atlantis had mastered powerful psychic abilities and tools, and gave rise to the peculiarly similar pyramid building peoples of the founders of Western Civilization and the Empires of native America. The topic is identified by many writers with 2012 end times predictions.

Many historians believe the people of Atlantis were pioneers of alternative power, harvesting the abundant natural heat of the earth.

Plausible guesses about the true whereabouts of the remnants of the Island include the coast of India to the Carribbean, though, naturally the most intriguing possibilities which are European islands, particularly the Azores and Malta.

The mystery may always remain concerning the true story, but it appears difficult to dispute: cultural innovation has achieved great levels of sophistication in the distant past and the cycle of expansion and decimation, perhaps in a recurring pattern, prior to the hazy halls of time we usually think of as being birth of society.
