The first altars were established for the sacrifice of the fruits of man’s labors: the harvest of the fields and the flocks of the pastures. Religion came into being, motivated by what man felt but no longer knew to be true, although the Law of One has always been the same:
“Love ye in your daily experience. Apply in your daily activities the love that ye would have the Father show ye. In your relationships to your fellow man, do ye know the Law of One.”
That was the first creed, established upon the first law of God to His children: Hear, O Israel (seekers), the Lord thy God is One. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
Temples were established, and soon the symbols of religion—ceremonies, rituals, prayers, and chants—were instituted. The sacred fires were started as the shrine of the pure and the means of cleansing and spiritualizing the mixtures who came seeking enlightenment and a more divine purpose in their lives. Religion was slowly developing as a system—a method of reminding man of his divinity. The continuity of life, or reincarnation, was recognized as an essential part of the plan of evolution for the soul. Karma, the law of cause and effect in action, or As ye sow, so shall ye reap, was fundamental.
Thus the breach between those of the Law of One and those of Belial slowly took form, a breach that later was to widen into a gulf. The carnal, materialistic way of life of the followers of Belial was attractive even to many of the Children of the Law of One, and numbers of them succumbed to the temptations. With the emphasis on the value of temporal things and the de-emphasis on the spiritual, idol worship crept into the religious scene.
The first of the series of three continental catastrophes occurred about 50,700 B.C., many thousands of years before the final drowning. It came as a material result of the use of chemicals and high explosives in the plan to annihilate the wild beasts. The real reason was the low state into which man had fallen.
Huge and numerous gas pockets were blown open in the lairs of the animals, precipitating volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in the still slowly cooling earth. The magnitude of the disturbances caused the axis of the world to shift, bringing the poles to their present position and producing the last of the great Ice Ages.
Lemuria was the first to be affected, losing much of its territory as it began to sink into the Pacific. In Atlantis the area of the Sargasso Sea, off the west coast of Cuba, was the first to go under water. The rest of the continent was broken up into several large islands with many canals, ravines, gulfs, bays, and streams. The temperate climate rapidly changed to a more torrid one.
With the upheavals, the initial migrations from Atlantis took place in small numbers to the east and west. The earliest settlements were in the region of the Pyrenees Mountains in France and Spain, then later in Central and South America. The movement of the Lemurians was primarily to South America. The land of Og, along the Pacific coastal area of what was later to be southern Peru, was occupied. This was the beginning of that mysterious tribe of Indians known as the Incas.
From this time on, although material civilization rose to great heights, there was growing unrest among the Atlantean people. In a land of plenty, strife rather than peace became the rule. The altars came to be used for human sacrifice by those turning away from the original concept of the One God. Sun worship became prevalent. Only the dedicated, inner core of the Children of the Law of One remained firm.
Low standards of morality, sex indulgence, and perversion became rampant. Poverty and hunger were widespread among the peasantry and working classes. There was a deteriorating of the physical and spiritual bodies, just as there was a wasting away of the mountains and valleys into the seas. In spite of material advancements and many scientific achievements, inner decay was to bring dispersion and finally annihilation to a proud, wicked, adulterous people.
The second important land change came long after the first, around 28,000 B.C., and resulted in the submergence of many large islands. The Bible gives an account of it in the story of Noah and the Flood.
After the deluge, which was preceded by volcanic eruptions and electrical storms, the principal land areas left in this part of the world were the islands of Poseidia in the North (West Indies area), Aryaz in the central Atlantic, and Og (Peru) in the West. There were large movements of the people to these lands as well as to other parts of the earth.
Lemuria vanished into the Pacific Ocean. Some of its inhabitants fled to the safety lands of lower California, Arizona, and New Mexico, where they established the Brotherhood of Mu in the land of the Mayra.
For the Atlanteans it was the end of an era and the beginning of a new one unsurpassed in many ways.
After the days of the Flood, a period of rebuilding began in Atlantis. The Atlantean scientific turn of mind, combined with their energy and aggressiveness, made possible great strides forward in mechanics, chemistry, physics, and psychology; for in many ways the Atlanteans were a superior people. In certain fields they were more learned than any civilization since.
When electricity was discovered after the first upheaval, it paved the way for remarkable developments in the field of electronics and electrical devices. Atomic power, from uranium, came to be understood and used in transportation and the movement of heavy objects. It was also abused for selfish purposes. The Atlanteans had more efficient systems of heating and lighting than contemporary culture; and communications with other lands were well established. Light rays of many kinds, such as laser beams, were discovered and controlled, including the death ray. Liquid air was manufactured, also compressed air and rubber. Metal alloys of brass, aluminum, and uranium, unknown to us, were used in the construction of air and water craft, including the submarine. The telephone and the elevator were in common use; radio and television were highly developed, as was the amplification of light rays in telescopic observation and photographing at long distances. Many types of bodily adornment came to be fabricated. Soldiering and law enforcement became a part of the political scene.
But the most notable scientific accomplishment of the Atlanteans was the harnessing of the sun’s energy. Developed originally as a means of spiritual communication between the finite and the infinite, the huge reflective crystals were first known as the Tuaol stone. Later, as its use was improved upon the centuries, it expanded to become a generator of power or energy, radiating across the land without wires. Then it became known as the Firestone, or the Great Crystals.
Set in the Temple of the Sun in Poseidia, the Firestone was the central power station of the country. Basically, it was a large cylindrical glass or stone of many facets, capped with a mechanism at one end. It was suspended in the center of the building and insulated with a non-conductive material akin to asbestos but resembling bakelite. Above the stone was a dome that could be rolled back for exposure to the sun.
The concentration and magnification of the sun’s rays through the many prisms was of tremendous intensity. So powerful was it that it could be regenerated and transmitted throughout the land in invisible beams similar to radio waves. Its energy was used to power ships at sea, aircraft, and even pleasure vehicles. This was done by remote control through induction methods to the apparatus in the craft. Cities and towns received their power from the same source.
