Do You Also Remember Atlantis?

Are you an Atlantean? Since I was quite young, I have been able to remember some of my past lives. I was raised by atheist parents, so I didn’t call them past lives, since I had never heard that phrase before. I called them ‘the other times.’

In one such other time, I was an Atlantean. I have met many Atlanteans on my path in this life. Are you one of them? I remember being always dressed in white, like everyone else there (just like I do now as Kundalini Yoga instructor). White is cleansing and represents purity. More importantly, white deflects negative energy. Black absorbs it.

I have noticed, as technology began to evolve more in recent years, especially since 2000, that I became more nervous, because I remember how technology destroyed Atlantis. Technology is meant to be a good thing, but how it used is a potential danger.

A lot of the information we have about Atlantis comes from the Greek philosopher Plato. He says that Atlantis lay west of the Pillars of Hercules, the rock formations at the Straits of Gibraltar in the Atlantic Ocean. On this huge island was a “great and wonderful empire” where evolved, virtuous people lived in a kind of paradise. This empire was called Atlantis and it ruled over several other islands and parts of the continents of Africa and Europe.

There is a theory that the same souls who developed Atlantean crystal technology also, many thousands of years later, developed the similar technology, which today supports radios, television, telephones and computers. Atlantean technology and today’s information technology are also similar in having created a global web of communications ~ William Bloom

Some have argued that Atlantis was in the Americas, or in the Canary Islands, or in Antarctica. Others think Atlantis was in fact the Greek island of Thera – a theory backed up by many  recent archaeological discoveries.

The people of Atlantis began to love power more than they loved the gods. They abused and used technology to harm others and acquire more power. They waged war against the rest of the world, but were ultimately defeated by the wiser and more moral Athenians. Around 9,500 BCE, earthquakes sunk Atlantis into the sea. Many Atlanteans tried to stop the abuse of power and technology, but ultimately were overpowered.

The original story of the  utopian island of Atlantis comes  from two Socratic dialogues titled Timaeus and Critias, both written about 360 BCE by the Greek philosopher Plato.

Plato wrote, “They despised everything but virtue, not caring for their present state of life, and thinking lightly on the possession of gold and other property, which seemed only a burden to them; neither were they intoxicated by luxury; nor did wealth deprive them of their self-control; but they were sober, and saw clearly that all these goods are increased by virtuous friendship with one another, and that by excessive zeal for them, and honor of them, the good of them is lost, and friendship perishes with them.

“By such reflections, and by the continuance in them of a divine nature, all that which we have described waxed and increased in them; but when this divine portion began to fade away in them, and became diluted too often, and with too much of the mortal admixture, and the human nature got the upper-hand, then, they being unable to bear their fortune, became unseemly.

To him who had an eye to see, they began to appear base, and had lost the fairest of their precious gifts; but to those who had no eye to see the true happiness, they still appeared glorious and blessed at the very time when they were filled with unrighteous avarice and power.

It is now time for us to understand and learn from this past civilization. To take the knowledge we have learnt and apply it to the future. We are heading for the end of these days again. Have we learnt from the past? Have we gone too far? What must we do to put this world into balance? ~ Ernest L. Norman

Zeus, the god of gods, who rules with law, and is able to see into such things, perceiving that an honorable race was in a most wretched state, and wanting to inflict punishment on them, that they might be chastened and improved, collected all the gods into his most holy habitation, which, being placed in the center of the world, sees all things that partake of generation. And when he had called them together he spake as follows…”

Here Plato’s story abruptly ends. It suggests this wise, old, bearded man taking a break to work out the words that Zeus would speak, and never coming back to it.

The basic theory is that Atlanteans started off on a spiritual path, but abused their power and became greedy. Their greed ultimately destroyed them. I find that many of the people I meet who are former Atlanteans are also very nervous about technology. That doesn’t mean they don’t use it or even don’t like it. They are just very cautious about it and don’t let it control or dictate their lives.

There are many Atlanteans coming into incarnations on Earth to help prevent the same outcome of greed and power, as opposed to spirituality, which we are facing today on the planet. I am seeing many children who are old souls and Atlanteans in my work. They are using technology to heal the planet, and using science and technology to unite us and keep us on the spiritual path. It gives me great hope that what I experienced in my life as an Atlantean can be prevented today.
