Atlantis, Redux

[QUOTING]

Various theories exist regarding the ancient, lost world-empire of Atlantis. However, there is very little precise knowledge about it, which accounts for the multiplicity of the theories and speculations; occult science does not provide the laity with one single detail. Yet it is an established fact that nothing in the dualistic world-order is lasting, for values, forces and conditions are constantly changing. Consequently, there can be no building in this order, in the sense of constant unfoldment and growth, because every rise is followed by a fall. In the Original dualistic order this rising and fading of things was not analogous to good and evil; it did not mean that good was nullified by bad, and bad, in turn, by good. In the Beginning, rising and fading was simply a process of change. How long a particular situation lasted was not determined by man or by human influences, but by the natural laws of this stratum of life.

However, the Fall of Man also disturbed and corrupted our stratum of life, so that natural duality has now been replaced by avenging duality, a situation in which, through man's activities, tensions repeatedly arise which call for destruction and change. In the pre-human state, re-grouping of continents and seas was not a catastrophe for mankind, but it is now, because the process of natural and avenging duality are encroaching on each other. Natural duality is repeatedly forced into action by man's wickedness, by human duality.

As one might imagine, the appearance of the earth during the Atlantean period had to change into that of the Aryan period, through the action of natural duality. One might also be able to imagine that the governors of our Fate made use of this change to teach mankind a lesson, to open a new possibility, in order to teach man how to go the Path back to his Original home, the Kingdom of Heaven.

However, one might want to imagine that, in view of man's sinful state, the change of natural duality could be used as a punishment, as a great twilight, an extinguishing of unholy consciousness, as a 'draught of oblivion'. Then, for the sinner, the new surroundings provide a clean slate, a new beginning, and for him, too, the change of natural duality would be a portal of renewal.

Two developments are therefore conceivable: one for the part of mankind that did not participate in the Great Sin of the Atlantean period, and one for the sinful part. These two developments actually exist. We are now living in the Aryan period. One part of mankind lives in this period as a consequence of the sin of Atlantis, having been hurled into this period with a draught of oblivion. The other part has received great new possibilities. That is why we speak of an Aryan period, for this means literally, 'the period of sanctification'. A true Aryan is a saint; one who, with the help of natural duality, passes through the Portal of Eternity of the True Kingdom. Orientalists have made Aryans of all Europeans. This stupidity became an insanity among the Nazis, who imagined themselves to be king-Aryans and awarded themselves the right and the power to 'aryanize' others.

A further re-arrangement of the continents, analogous to the one described here, is now approaching. A new era will dawn, the Jupiter era, in which all matter in its present form will be done away with. The sinners of this dispensation, those who have become completely crystallized in matter, will no longer be able to maintain themselves in this life-field, which will then be without matter, and they will perish. In this way, the separation between the two developments will come about. All the processes connected with this will become increasingly apparent, namely, the processes of degeneration, harvest and liberation, and finally, the great end-processes.

[END QUOTING]

There is nothing new under the sun. Cycles begin and end, great civilizations rise, shine and fade into oblivion. The catastrophic demise of legendary Atlantis is once again poised to repeat itself. Many will suffer the consequences...unless they can awaken in time.
