Later in Atlantis’ history, Cayce describes powerful, high-tech flying devices that were run from a centralized crystal or cluster of crystals, which were refocusing the rays from the Sun and the star Arcturus. Crystals became powerful tools in Atlantis sometime after 106,000 B.C. and were in full force by the first destruction, 50,722 B.C. Prior to the 106,000 B.C. date Cayce mentioned a specific crystal used as a tool to make contact with divine forces. The crystal was initially called the “White Stone” and gradually became known as the “Tuaoi Stone.” The crystal was used in a group ceremonial ritual where meditation was employed. A priestess who devoted herself to attunement to the divine would receive messages from the stone and interpret the messages. In addition, the stone was employed as a healing tool.
During the early golden age, the Sons of God, also identified by Cayce as the Children of the Law of One, lived and worked in harmony with the forces of Nature and the Cosmic Forces. They used innate psychic powers rather than high-tech machines. But after 106,000 B.C., the crystal began to be utilized for power and then for destruction.
Original Location and Modern Remnants
According to Cayce, the landmass of the continent of Atlantis was enormous. The continent was “between the Gulf of Mexico on the one hand and the Mediterranean upon the other.” In these discourses he identified the great Sargasso Sea in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean as a significant portion of Atlantis and the very location into which Poseidia—“the Eden of the World” and one of the five great regions of Atlantis—sank beneath the sea (E.C. 1159-1). The Sargasso Sea is still part of the North Atlantic Ocean today, lying roughly between the islands of the Caribbean and the Azores islands, 900 miles off Portugal’s coast. The Sargasso Sea is so named because there is a kind of seaweed, which lazily floats over its entire expanse called sargassum. Catching sight of these huge mats of seaweed has always marked the perimeter of this peculiar sea. Columbus himself made note of it. Thinking land was nearby, he fathomed the sea, only to find no bottom. In fact, the bottom is over 3 miles below on the Nares Abyssal Plain. The Sargasso Sea occupies that part of the Atlantic between 20 to 35 degrees North and 30 to 70 West (known as the Horse Latitudes). It is in complete contrast to the ocean around it. Its surface is usually calm yet the area is surrounded by some of the strongest sea currents in the world.
Cayce said that there are some “protruding portions” that “must have at one time or another been a portion of this great continent. The British West Indies or the Bahamas, and a portion of same that may be seen in the present. If the geological survey would be made in some of these, especially, or notably, in Bimini and in the Gulf Stream through this vicinity, these may be even yet determined.”
However, when pointing to where one may find evidence of the Atlantean culture, Cayce directed us to look at areas where the migrating civilization went to escape destruction and death as their homeland sank. Cayce said that on the one hand “evidences of this lost civilization are to be found in the Pyrenees [the mountains between Spain and France] and Morocco [northern Africa—roughly 9 miles across the Mediterranean Sea from Gibraltar and Spain],” and on the other hand, in “British Honduras, Yucatan, and America.” One reading (E.C. 1159-1) mentions the Canary Islands relating that Phoenicians ventured there and to the Sargasso Sea into the heart of the Atlantean land. Other islands in the Atlantic, such as the Azores, are not mentioned.
Cayce also pointed to North America when speaking of the royal Iroquois (E.C. 1219-1): “The entity then was among the people, the Indians, of the Iroquois; those of noble birth, those that were of the pure descendants of the Atlanteans, those that held to the ritualistic influences from Nature itself.” The original Iroquois were comprised of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca tribes. These peoples comprise one of the oldest living participatory democracies on earth. Governance was truly based on the consent of the governed. On June 11, 1776, while the question of colonial independence was being debated, visiting Iroquois chiefs were formally invited into the meeting hall of the Continental Congress. Both Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson borrowed from the Iroquois Constitution in developing the U.S. Constitution.
Interestingly, the Iroquois were matriarchal. Women held powerful positions. They owned the longhouses, controlled the land, and chose the chief. Children belonged to their mother’s clan. When a man married, he lived with his wife’s clan. This is interesting because Cayce said that prior to the legendary global Great Flood, the feminine was dominant throughout the ancient world. “Naturally so,” he said. After the destructions in those ancient times, masculine became dominant. Soon, these two aspects of humanity’s duality (Yin and Yang) will join into a united power sharing, as it should be.
A key point to note here is that the Atlanteans were the red race. Cayce described how they were originally “thought forms, able to push out of themselves, much in the same manner as the amoeba would in the waters of a stagnant bay in the present. As they took more physical form, they became hardened or set, much in the form of the existent human body of the day, with that of color as partook of its surroundings, much in the manner as the chameleon in the present. Hence coming into that form as the red, or mixture peoples or colors; known later by the associations as the red race.”
A Typical Atlantean City
Cayce described a large city called Poseida. His readings are not clear on this, but it appears that Poseida is the main city in the land of Poseidia. In many ways his description of it is similar to what Plato described as the Center City of Atlantis. Cayce said that the city was on a hill that overlooked the waters of Parfa. These waters were a combination of natural rivers and walls that created pools from the river water. These pools had large canals, which brought water to homes and lands. These pools were kept constantly in motion over stone because the natural forces would purify the water within twenty feet of flowing over the stones. The buildings were built in tiers, one upon another, excepting the temples. The temples, he said, were where the sacred fires were maintained. The temples were built of large, semi-circular columns of onyx and topaz, inlaid with beryl, amethyst, and stones that caught the rays of the sun.
“These, as to the manner of the buildings, were of the outer court—or where groups or masses might collect. The inner, those that were of a select group, or those of the second chambers. Those of the inner court, or shrine about the altar, were only for the elect, or the chosen few. Those in the temple ruled, rather than those who held official political positions.”
In this temple the sacred fires burned, and there were “the rising of the intermittent fires that came and went, that were later worshipped by some that brought on much of the destruction, because they waited long at the period before the destructions came. These were those places where there became eventually the necessity of offering human sacrifices, which when put into fires became the ashes that were cast upon the waters for the drinking of same by those that were made prisoners from portions of other lands.”
Amilius and Lilith
Around 106,000 B.C., a new physical body was created on Atlantis. This body would help souls better incarnate in matter and three-dimensions. It was actually two bodies, one male and one female. Cayce called it the “third root race body.” The Mayan legends called it the “Blue Maze” body, noting that it was perfect in every way. There will be more detail on body-types in another chapter.
This new body was conceived by two Atlantean souls named Amilius and Lilith. Yes, Cayce’s reading of the Akashic Records identifies the legendary Lilith as the first true incarnate female. She was the first Eve, as classical Hebrew writings have always held. These two were twins of one soul, the yin and yang of one consciousness. They came to help souls better deal with
