ed in the history books. most of them before 'the fall' were far more highly evolved, technologically and spiritually, than humanity is today. life is not always about progressing mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. if something happens to delink us from our true potential, we can also go backwards. it depends on the knowledge and potential available to us. in the periods known as lemuria and atlantis, hundreds of thousands of years ago in our version of time, humans lived in what we would call a science fiction world, in which amazing things were possible, as was also true in civilisations before those. these were not miracles, merely the use of the natural laws of creation. what is termed the paranormal or supernatural is only that which our limited version of science has

formation from many sources purporting to be extraterrestrial civilisations and the symbolic stories in the ancient texts and legends across thousands of years, is that of a war in the heavens, possibly a war between extraterrestrial civilisations for control of this galaxy. i feel this relates to the struggle between two consciousness streams on the fourth dimension, for the control of this one. lemuria was the creation of one of these streams, atlantis the work of the other. it has been a long and bitter battle with humanity as the pawns in the middle. the indian vedas contain stories that could easily describe a high tech battle in the skies. those who are more evolved technologically do not have to be more evolved spiritually. the development of the atomic bomb is a case in point. deve

in the thousands of years before "known" history. they were the kings and queens who claimed the "divine right" to rule because of their bloodline- the bloodline of the gods. these ancient royal lines in places like egypt, sumer, and the indus valley, had a white skin and often blue eyes, yet they were known as the dragon kings or serpent kings by those who knew the secret of their hybrid nature. lemuria was destroyed by a staggering cataclysm that struck the earth, maybe 11,500 to 12,000 years ago. atlantis went the same way, in stages, over the thousands of years that followed. the universal stories of the great flood are related to this. when atlantis came to an end amid more enormous geological upheavals, the bloodlines and their "gods" began again in the near and middle east from abou

in these former colonies as part of a long-planned agenda for the complete centralised control of the planet through a world government, central bank, currency, army, and a micro-chipped population connected to a global computer. this is the very governmental structure that is now staring us in the face. the bloodlines that control the world and our lives today are the same bloodlines that ruled lemuria, atlantis, sumer, egypt, babylon, the roman empire, and the british and european empires. they are the presidents of the united states, the prime ministers, the leading banking and business families, the media owners, and those who control the military. we have been ruled by the same interbreeding tribe of extraterrestrial or inner-terrestrial hybrids, the nefilim, for thousands of years a

ssland and forest in the old world began to quickly dry out and convert into harsh desert. the vast sahara desert, arabian desert, and the giant deserts of the middle east and central asia simply did not exist prior to (about) 4,000bc".12 the upheavals of the ancient world destroyed the advanced global society or "golden age" that existed before and this is recorded in the stories of atlantis and lemuria, or "mu. humanity had to start all over again. if you believe that is farfetched, think about today's society. it may be advanced on one level with power grids and computer systems, and all the rest. such technology can perform apparently miraculous feats, like typing a letter on to this computer and having it read by someone on the other side of the world seconds later. but what would hap

ilisations of great advancement also suddenly appeared in the same period in egypt and the indus valley in what is now the indian continent. but they are wrong on both counts, i would suggest. sumer was not the start of what is called civilised society on this planet. it was the most significant one to emerge after the catastrophe that destroyed the global society of the "golden age- atlantis and lemuria, or mu. sumer was not the beginning; it was the start-over-again which was to become the centre of another virtually global empire. indeed sumer, babylon, egypt, and the indus valley civilisations had actually begun tens of thousands of years before history records them. after the cataclysms, these advanced cultures in egypt and the indus valley, which "suddenly" and unexplainably manifest

the other in the pacific, which many people believe were ruled by highly advanced races that originated from other worlds. the continents are said to have disappeared under the sea in the designer history 17 circumstances described above, leaving only islands, like the azores and polynesia, as remnants of their former scale and glory. atlantis is said by some to have emerged after the sinking of lemuria. others say they were simultaneous and that's my view. the most thorough and outstanding researcher of lemuria-mu was colonel james churchward, who wrote a series of books in the first half of the 20th century. churchward visited remote monasteries in asia and saw the ancient records of the "motherland" of mu or lemuria going back between 12,000 and 70,000 years. he saw how it was the cent

ow the various racial types on mu, including blue-eyed blonds, peopled the world.15 these lemurian races went east to become the mayans of central america and the other builders of the fantastic structures of the american continent. they went west to people asia, china, india, and elsewhere, and created colonies in what became egypt and sumer. all genetic and cultural roads, he says, lead back to lemuria-mu, the "motherland, and the very advanced civilisation that existed tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of years before today's "modern" society. churchward says that lemuria was destroyed around 12,000 years ago. w.t. samsel in his study of these ancient societies, the atlantis connection (starfire publishing, sedona, arizona, 1998, dates the end of lemuria much earlier, b

contact with an entity formerly incarnate in atlantis that now communicates from one of these other frequencies. most channelled information, in my experience, is either nonsense or extremely limited, but many of samsel's themes are supported by geological and biological record. he believes that it was about 100,000 years ago that the first examples of modern human forms appeared on the island of lemuria in what is now the pacific ocean.16 these were intended to be "perfected vehicles, he says. as they began to explore the earth, they seeded the land that is known as atlantis, which is said to have been in the atlantic on the geologically unstable mid-atlantic ridge. samsel says that early atlanteans were a dark-skinned people, not unlike the native americans. he believes the native americ

able mid-atlantic ridge. samsel says that early atlanteans were a dark-skinned people, not unlike the native americans. he believes the native american people are directly descended from lemurians and atlanteans who settled in the americas before the first great cataclysm some 48,000 years ago and native american legends support this theme.17 his view is that in those earlier days of atlantis and lemuria the people 18 children of the matrix lived under the "law of one, the understanding that everything is the same energy expressing itself in different forms. the law of one is the knowledge that everything is connected to everything else and ultimately all is an expression of the same whole or energy. scientists call this the unified field theory. this is a common theme of atlantean myths a

affairs. he says that midway through the early atlantian age, extraterrestrials with a human-like appearance "very tall, light haired, light skinned, albino-like people- made contact with the atlanteans.18 they began to manipulate atlantean society, he says, and interbreed with humans to change the dna and create hybrid bloodlines that became the royal lineage of kings and queens. i would include lemuria in this same story also. the technology and physical appearance of these extraterrestrials led the atlanteans/lemurians to see them as gods. intermarrying with these beings to produce light-skinned offspring with "god-like features" became the goal of many atlanteans, samsel writes, and these crossbreeds became the dominant force. they took over the government, economics, education, religi

es, the result of interbreeding between the white or "nordic" race and a reptilian people. in the end, however, it's the theme that really matters in understanding the basic background to the world today. the tussle between the atlantean advocates of the law of one and the opposing temple of the sun is highly significant. the temple of the sun has been the religion of the illuminati from atlantis/lemuria right through to the present time. in fact, today's world is the new atlantis, a mirror of the obsession with technological dominance that led to the destruction of the first atlantean civilisation. put simply, the law of one sees everything as connected, part of the same unified whole, and the temple of the sun represents the desire to present everything as unconnected and isolated from e

in his next book of an advanced civilisation on earth 100,000 years ago. but hapgood died soon afterwards and the book was never written. james churchward however, produces such evidence in his books and he tells how he saw maps of south america and elsewhere in those remote asian monasteries going back tens of thousands of years. this evidence supports the view that the continent known as mu or lemuria now rests on the bed of the pacific. the polynesian tribes and other related peoples retain many legends of their sunken land of origin and easter island natives in the 22 children of the matrix pacific claim their land was once part of a continent destroyed by cataclysm.42 a chinese text found in a buddhist cave called dunhuang in western china in 1900 included fragments of a map that fea

chinese text found in a buddhist cave called dunhuang in western china in 1900 included fragments of a map that featured an island continent in the pacific.43 south american legend tells the same story of their ancestors arriving from a lost continent, among them a guy called aramu muru, who carried the knowledge of the lemurian brotherhood or mystery school.44 the hopi tribe in arizona remember lemuria as a series of islands by which they travelled to the american continent.45 why isn't the story of the atlantis and mu a key part of official history? because the knowledge has been systematically suppressed and destroyed. the astronomer, carl sagan, said that a text detailing atlantis, called the true history of mankind over the last 100,000 years, was destroyed with thousands of others w

oth agree that this potentially human-friendly environment was destroyed by catastrophic geological events. the only serious area of contention is when that disaster occurred. was it really millions of years ago, as official "science" contends, or was it merely thousands of years ago, as the alternative researchers suggest, a timescale that would fit perfectly with the devastation of atlantis and lemuria-mu. the gathering evidence is that mars was destroyed in the same catastrophe, which, on earth, brought an end to that "golden age. in the 1950s, the russian-born writer and researcher, immanuel velikovsky, suggested in a series of books that the planet we now call venus (then a vast comet-like body) was the cause of both the demise of mars and the near-demise of the earth when it was hurl

nocked out of its original orbit. the same theme keeps returning from many diverse sources and, somewhere within this, the detailed truth is waiting for us. james churchward has a more earthly explanation for the cataclysms. he says there are enormous "gas belts" and chambers under the earth and when these "blow" on a vast scale, the land above is destroyed. he says these gas belts ran under both lemuria/mu and atlantis. what caused the cataclysms is open to debate, but that they did happen is a statement of fact. a similar theme can be found in the tens of thousands of ancient clay tablets discovered in mesopotamia in the mid-19th century. these tell the stories and myths of the sumerian culture that emerged after one of these cataclysms that sank what was left of atlantis. sumer dates fr

nded are confirmed in every way by the scientific explanation of the geological and environmental affects of this "walk-about" by venus. most important in relation to our story, these conclusions by people like velikovsky, the boeing physicists, and increasing numbers of other researchers today, bring the time scale for the end of life on mars to within the period that saw the end of atlantis and lemuria-mu. brian desborough suggests, along with many others, including myself, that the golden age was the result of many extraterrestrial and other dimensional races visiting the earth and operating openly among the human population in a long period of at least hundreds of thousands of years. he believes, like those boeing physicists he knew and worked with, that the earth was much closer to th

ountains, on mount ararat, that the symbolic noah's ark came to rest when the waters receded, the bible claims.62 the sumerian tablets also relate how the anunnaki "gods" returned to rebuild and restore their devastated heartlands, and the civilisation that emerged from this is known to history as sumer. i think, however, that many parts of the sumerian tablets are actually referring to events on lemuria and atlantis. some researchers suggest that remains of the anunnaki's preflood cities can be found today under the persian gulf, which became much wider and deeper after the upheavals.63 depending on the location and the effects of the devastation, some of the great structures of the golden age survived and can be seen to this day. these could be anything from tens to hundreds of thousands

at these species did not exist on the lands between. before scientists had arrived at an understanding of continental drift, philip l. schattler proposed the idea of a land bridge between southern india and southern africa. the lemur was a prominent animal whose habitat was being researched, and schattler gave the leland, charles godfrey encyclopedia of occultism& parapsychology. 5th ed. 904 name lemuria to his hypothesized land bridge. the idea was quickly adopted by a number of biologists, including ernst haekel (1834.1891, who further hypothesized that lemuria was the home of the missing original hominoids (many yet-tobe- discovered skeletons would point in different directions) by the 1880s, the lost continent of lemuria would be an honest (if soon-to-be-discarded) scientific theory. i

g of human evolution. humans evolved through a series of root races, she said. she claimed that the contemporary anglo-saxons were the fifth root race. the two previous root races had emerged on atlantis and lemuria, respectively. blavatsky s account of lemuria led to further discussion in the theosophical writings of charles w. leadbeater and to the major book, the story of atlantis and the lost lemuria, by w. scott-elliot. what had started as a hypothetical land bridge between africa and india had become a sizable continent stretching from india to new zealand. australia was a remnant and the aborigines were descendants of the continent s dwellers. lemuria was soon identified with the lost continent of pan described in oahspe: a new age bible, a channeled text from the hand of spirituali

he lost continent of pan described in oahspe: a new age bible, a channeled text from the hand of spiritualist john b. newbrough. pan was said to be a large continent located in what is today the north pacific. pan s remnants theoretically included the western coast of california, whose unique flora and fauna were another problem for nineteenth- century biologists. a third source of speculation on lemuria derives from the work of augustus le plongeon, an archaeologist working in the late nineteenth century in central america. at the time, the mayan hieroglyphs in the yucatan had not been deciphered, but le plongeon claimed significant progress in that regard. he suggested that the writing at chichen itza told the story of a princess moo and an ancient continent to the east (atlantis) that h

c as described by a few of the survivors of the continent s fiery destruction. churchward claimed to have seen the tablets in india, but no one else to the present day has ever seen them. combining the le plongeon material with stories of the naacal tablets in his 1926 book the lost continent of mu, churchward proposed the idea of a huge continent in the pacific south of hawaii. the notions about lemuria, pan, and mu were melded in the 1931 rosicrucian classic, lemuria: the lost continent of the pacific. according to h. spencer lewis (writing under the pen name wishar s. cerve, lemuria was a mid-pacific continent. when it was destroyed, a sliver of it was jammed against north america and became california. it is especially associated with mt. shasta, a prominent volcano in northern califor

ta, a prominent volcano in northern california that has become the focus of occult speculation in its own right. five years after lewis s book was published, the lemurian fellowship, a theosophical occult group, was founded in chicago. its leader, robert stelle, expanded on the now-entrenched occult myth in two books, an earth dweller returns (1940) and the sun rises (1952. in the last generation lemuria has become a standard part of new age mythology and is frequently mentioned in channeled literature. among the interesting twists on the idea of lemuria is that attributed to ramtha, the entity who speaks through j. z. knight. ramtha says he was a lemurian. lemuria, according to ramtha, was not a separate continent but a section of the ancient continent of atlatia (as he calls atlantis. an
