His own further guesses are a distorted Egyptian memory of the Persian war, the Amphictyonic council and the Areopagus read into the Atlantean laws, and, more loosely, Solon and Salamis, or the circumnavigation under Necho or Nako in B.C.
He quotes Donnelly calling the Iberians, the Basques, Atlanteans, and then deriving Ireland from Iberia.
The Atlanteans were to deliberate about war and not to take up arms against one another, like the ancient oath of the Amphictyons in Aeschines, not to destroy one another's cities or debar them from their fountains in peace or war.
" Spain in that day was the land of the Iberians, the Basques, that is to say of the Atlanteans " (p.
The Atlanteans " were to deliberate together about war and other matters, and were not to take up arms against one another," just as, according to their oath, referred to by ^skines " as the ancient oath of the Amphictyons," they were bound "not to destroy each other's cities or debar them from the use of their fountains in peace and war.
They always heard causes and passed sentence in the night, that they might not be prepossessed in favour of the plaintiff or the defendant by seeing them." In the confederacy of the Atlanteans
I should have mentioned—and it should be remarked also in the almost inseparable connection of the ox or the bull with the diluvian commemorative customs—that " before the Amphictyons proceeded to business they sacrificed an ox, and cut his flesh into small .pieces, intimating that union and unanimity prevailed _in the several cities they represented." Plato says when the Atlanteans gathered together, " before they passed judgment they gave their pledges to one another in this wise : there were bulls who had the range of the temple of Poseidon, and the ten who were left alone in the temple, after they had offered prayers to the gods that they might take the sacrifices which were acceptable to them, hunted the bulls without weapons, but with staves and nooses, and the bull which they caught they led up to the column." " When, therefore, after offering sacrifice according to their customs, they had burnt the limbs of the bull, they mingled a cup and cast in a clot of blood for ea.ch of them.

In the teaching of occult science the stages of development on the earth are divided into periods called "Epochs." There have been four of these Epochs, which are designated as follows, respectively: The Polarian, the Hyperborean, the Lemurian, the Atlantean.
In the Fourth or Atlantean Epoch, mind was unfolded and now, so far as his principles are concerned, he steps upon the stage of physical life as MAN.
Therefore the food of the Atlantean was, by analogy, dead carcasses.
Noah symbolizes the remnant of the Atlantean Epoch, which became the nucleus of the Fifth Race — therefore our progenitors.
During those epochs of our Earth's history which have already been mentioned as the Lemurian and the Atlantean, man was involuntarily clairvoyant, and it was precisely this looseness of connection between the dense and the vital bodies that made him so.
during the Atlantean Epoch, spread over our planet, and the remains of which can still be observed in the Aurora Borealis and the Aurora Australis.
From that time different Eaces succeed one another through the Atlantean and Aryan Epochs, and will extend slightly into the Sixth great Epoch.
The toal number of Races — past, present and future — in our scheme of evolution is sixteen; one at the end of the Lemurian Epoch, seven during the Atlantean Epoch, seven more in our present Aryan Epoch and one in the beginning of the Sixth Epoch.
He had two sensitive spots which were affected by the light of the Sun as it shone dimly through the fiery atmosphere of ancient Lemuria, but it was not until nearly the close of the Atlantean Epoch that he had sight as we have it today.
Then his consciousness became focussed in the physical world, although all things did not appear to his vision with clearly-defined outlines until the latter part of the Atlantean Epoch.
Thus man built on, all through the latter part of the Lemurian Epoch and the first two-thirds of the Atlantean Epoch until, by the above-mentioned use of this half of his sex-force, he became a fully-conscious, thinking, reasoning, being.
For the present enough has been said to warrant us in pursuing the main line of investigation, which leads us to follow the progress of man's evolution still further, through the Atlantean and Aryan Epochs, down to the present day.
EVOLUTION ON THE EARTH 289 What has been said about the enlightenment of the Lemurians applies to only a minor portion of those who lived in the latter part of that Epoch, and who became the Seed for the Seven Atlantean Eaces.
Volcanic cataclysms destroyed the greater part of the Lemurian continent and in its stead rose the Atlantean continent, where the Atlantic Ocean now is.
Much water was also held in suspension in the heavy, foggy Atlantean atmosphere.
The latter peculiarity, if no other, distinguishes the descendants of the Atlantean races who remain with us at the present day.
The ears of the Atlantean sat much further back upon the head than do those of the Aryan.
The higher vehicles of the early Atlanteans were not drawn into a concentric position in relation to the dense body, as are ours.
These two points just spoken of — the one in the dense body and its counterpart in the vital body — were far apart in the men of the early Atlantean days, as they are in the animals of our day.
On account of the distance between these two points, the Atlantean's power of perception or vision was much keener in the inner Worlds than in the dense Physical World, obscured by its atmosphere of thick, heavy fog.
Finally, in the last third of the Atlantean Epoch, the point in the vital body was united to the corresponding point in the dense body.
In an earlier time the Atlantean did not clearly perceive the outline of an object or a person, but he saw the soul and at once knew its attributes, whether they were beneficial to him or otherwise.
The Rmoahals were the first of the Atlantean Eaces.
With memory came to the Atlanteans the rudiments of a language.
The Tlavatlis were the second Atlantean Eace.
The Toltecs were the third Atlantean Eace.
296 EOSICEUCIAN COSMO-CONCEPTION sciousness of the early Atlantean was, as jet, principally an internal picture-consciousness.
The Original Turanians were the fourth Atlantean Eace.
The Original Semites were the fifth and most important of the seven Atlantean Eaces, because in them we find the first germ of the corrective quality of Thought.
The mind was given to man in the Atlantean Epoch to give purpose to action, but as the Ego was exceedingly weak and the desire nature strong, the nascent mind coalesced with the desire body; the faculty of Cunning resulted and was the cause of all the wickedness of the middle third of the Atlantean Epoch.
It was, however, this very loss of power over the vital forces which the Atlanteans suffered that made it possible for man to evolve further.
While reason benefited him in many ways, it shut from his vision the soul of things which had previously spoken to him, and the gaining of the intellect which is now man's most precious possession was at first but sadly contemplated by the Atlantean, who mourned the loss of spiritual sight and power which marked its acquisition.
During all the previous ages — from the commencement of the Saturn Period, through the Sun and Moon Periods, and in the three and one-half Revolutions of the Earth Period (the Polarian, Hyperborean, Lemurian, and earlier part of the Atlantean Epochs) — man had been led and guided by higher Beings, without the slightest choice.
The Akadians were the sixth and the Mongolians the seventh of the Atlantean Eaces.
Progress constantly requires new methods and adaptability, keeping ideas in a fluid state, therefore those races fell behind and are de-generating, with the remainder of the Atlantean Kaces.
The Mongolian races are the descendants of those Atlantean refugees.
In the Polarian, Hyperborean and Lemurian Epochs the task of leading humanity was a comparatively easy one, for man was then without mind, but when that disturbing element came in during the first part of the Atlantean Epoch, he developed Cunning, which is the product of the mind unchecked by the spirit.
In the middle of the Atlantean Epoch the spirit had drawn completely into its vehicles and commenced to work in the mind to produce Thought and Reason: the ability to trace a given cause to its inevitable effect, and to deduce from a given effect the cause which produced it.
This faculty of Eeasoning or Logic was to become more fully developed in the Aryan Epoch, and therefore the Original Semites (the fifth race of the Atlantean Epoch) were a "chosen people," to bring out that germinal faculty to such a ripeness that -it would be impregnated into the very fibre of their descendants, who would thus become the New Race.
Most of them were rebellious and, so far as they were concerned, entirely frustrated the purpose of the Leader by intermarrying with the other Atlantean Races, thus bringing inferior blood into their descendants.
The rebellious ones who were abandoned are the Jews, of whom the great majority are still governed more by the Atlantean faculty of Cunning than by Reason.
Before the end of the Lemurian Epoch there was a "chosen people," different from the ordinary humanity of that time, who became the ancestors of the Atlantean Races.
They have entirely forgotten their spiritual nature and glory in the material fact of being "Abraham's seed." Therefore they are neither "fish nor flesh." They have no part in the advancing Aryan Eace and yet they are beyond those remnants of the Lemurian and Atlantean peoples which are still with us.
Having satisfied ourselves that the beginning of our System and the work of the creative Hierarchies, as described by occult science, harmonize with the teachings of the Bible, we will now examine the Bible account of the different "Days of Creation" and see how they agree with the occult teachings relative to the Saturn, Sun, and Moon Periods; the three and one-half Revolutions of the Earth Period; and the Polarian, Hyperborean, Lemurian, and Atlantean Epochs, which have preceded the present Aryan Epoch.
The Atlantean Epoch is dealt with in the work of the sixth day.
He could not do otherwise, as he is describing the Atlantean Epoch, and by the time that stage in evolution was reached there were neither sexless men nor hermaphrodites, the differentiation of the sexes having taken place earlier — in the Lemurian Epoch.
Therefore the Bible narrator is doing no violence to facts when he states that man was formed in the Atlantean Epoch.
Their Bible records that the sons of God married the daughters of man — the lower grades of their Atlantean compatriots.
From the very beginning of the Saturn Period up to the time in the Atlantean Epoch when "man's eyes were opened" by the Lucifer Spirits, and as a consequence the activities of man — or the Life-force which has become man — were chiefly directed inward ; that very same force which he now sends out from himself to build railways, steamboats, etc., was used internally in building a vehicle through which to manifest himself.
Had He appeared in a manifestly miraculous manner, it would have been contrary to the scheme of evolution, because at the end of the Atlantean Epoch humanity had been given freedom to do right or wrong.
The rest of humanity did likewise in the early part of the Atlantean Epoch.
414 BOSICRUCIAN COSMO-CONCEPTION mysteries were given to the earlier Lemurians and Atlanteans, but not the Four Great Initiations.
The black serpent on diagram 15 indicates the winding, cyclic path of Involution, comprising the Saturn, Sun and Mood Periods, and the Mars half of the Earth Period, during which the evolving life built its vehicles, not becoming fully awake and clearly conscious of the outside world until the latter part of the Atlantean Epoch.
At last, in the latter part of the Atlantean Epoch, this picture-consciousness gave way to the present full waking-consciousness, in which objects could be observed outside, clearly and distinctly outlined in space.
416 BOSICRUCIAN COSMO-CONCEPTION the existence on Globe C in the third Eevolution of the Moon Period, until the latter part of the Atlantean Epoch.
The waking-consciousness of the Earth Period was not started until the Fourth Eevolution, when the life wave had reached the Fourth Globe (D), and was in the Fourth or Atlantean Epoch on that Globe.
Man then saw the inner Worlds, as in the Moon Period and the latter part of the Lemurian and early Atlantean Epochs.
In the latter part of the Atlantean Epoch, this was so far evolved that it became possible for the Ego to take full possession of the dense body.
During the fourth degree he sees the evolution of the last half-Revolution with its corresponding period of time in our present stay on Earth ; the first half of the Atlantean Epoch which ended when the dense foggy atmosphere sub-sided, and the sun first shone upon land and sea ; then the night of unconsciousness was over, the eyes of the indwell-ing Ego were fully opened, and he was able to turn the Light of Reason upon the problem of conquering the World.

We were told that it was by mighty Adepts in the days of Atlantis that the Atlantean maps were produced, but we are not aware whether the Lemurian maps were fashioned by some of the divine instructors in the days when Lemuria still existed, or in still later days of the Atlantean epoch.
For example, soon after the date of the second Lemurian map we are informed that the whole Malay Peninsula was submerged and remained so for a long time, but a subsequent upheaval of that region must have taken place before the date of the first Atlantean map, for, what is now the Malay Peninsula is there
It was only with the advent of the last three sub-races of this Third Root Race that the least progressed of the first group of the Lunar Pitris began to return to incarnation, while the most advanced among them did not take birth till the early sub-races of the Atlantean period.
Atlanteans.
With these Apes of the Miocene period, however, the Atlanteans of that age renewed the sin of the “‘ mindless ’’—this time with full responsibility, and the resultants of their crime are the species of Apes now known as Anthropoid.
It was reserved for the Atlanteans to develop the principle of strife on organised lines—to collect and to drill armies and to
All through the Atlantean period, as we know, warfare was the order of the day, and battles were constantly fought on land and sea.
And so deeply rooted in man’s nature during the Atlantean period did this principle of strife become, that even now the most intellectually developed of the Aryan races are ready to war upon each other.
Lunar chain by the first group of-Pitris, it became necessary for these again to return to incarnation, and this they did all through the fifth, sixth and seventh sub-races (indeed, some did not take birth till the Atlantean period), so that the impetus given to the progress of the race was a cumulative force.
The gigantic statues of Easter Island—measuring as most of them do about 27 feet in height by 8 feet across the shoulders—were probably intended to be representative not only of the features, but of the height of those who carved them, or it may be of their ancestors, for it was probably in the later ages of the Lemuro-Atlanteans that the statues were erected.
Founding of the Atlantean Race.
It’s all ruins to-day, but once it was a very prosperous colony of the Atlanteans.”
The book was written by one Deucalion, who seems to have been a priest or general—or perhaps both—and he was an Atlantean.
And here at once there opened up another path in the maze: I had heard some considerable talk of rebels; of another faction of Atlanteans who, whatever their faults might be, were at any rate strong enough to beleaguer the capital; and before coming to any final decision, it would be as well to take their claims in balance with the rest.
It was not decent that the woman, being an Atlantean, should go bereft of the dignity of clothes, as though she were a mere savage from Europe; and so I sought about amongst the captain’s spoil for garments that would be befitting.
You will be a God yet yourself, Deucalion, with these silly Atlanteans, if only you will use your wit and cleverness.”
For it must be remembered they were far removed from cowards, being Atlantean all, just as were those within the city, and were, moreover, spurred to extraordinary savageness and desperation by the oppression under which they had groaned, and the wrongs they had been forced to endure.
To eat the flesh of Atlanteans was their only lust, and they followed it prodigiously.
What the novel claims, as story: A doctor named Coppinger reads a wax-on-talc book from a cave in Grand Canary and calls the writer Deucalion, an Atlantean.
Coppinger, in Grand Canary, says Atlantis was very real, and that the continent where the Atlanteans lived lay just north of the Canaries.
Coppinger calls Yucatan a place in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, all ruins in his own day, and once a very prosperous colony of the Atlanteans.
It's all ruins to-day, but once it was a very prosperous colony of the Atlanteans.

The finder thinks the Atlanteans were the people Herodotus wrote about, and then thinks they were mythical.
Deucalion wants her clothed, because it is not decent that an Atlantean go bare like a savage from Europe.
An open battle on their own ground would have gone the other way, because they are Atlantean, and desperate from oppression.
He counts sixteen Races in all: one then, seven in the Atlantean Epoch, seven in the present Aryan Epoch, and one at the beginning of a Sixth Epoch.
The printed line reads "The toal number of Races," and the count that follows is sixteen: one at the end of the Lemurian Epoch, seven during the Atlantean Epoch, seven in the Aryan Epoch, and one at the beginning of the Sixth Epoch.

From that legend he has the Atlanteans skilled in agriculture and industry, practicing barter and human sacrifice, and using African races in America or in Europe.
Their language, deeply changed in the continental settlements of the Atlanteans, seemed to relate to no known idiom (p.

He must admit that the ones, like the others, derive from the Atlanteans, since they alone could rally, by a long series of colonizations, countries so far apart.
If one judges by the deep imprint left on the peoples of the ancient continent, the most prosperous of all the Atlantean colonies was the one established on the coasts of western Europe.
He turns to the beliefs the Atlanteans met among the peoples of this continent.
He sees in it the proof of the considerable extension, not of the protoscythian race alone, but of the Atlanteans.
This is the fourth part's America, not the earlier chapter of the Atlanteans in America.
He has said that the Protoscythes considered the world as having been engendered by the union of the two principles, male and female, and that the Atlanteans associated their scientific doctrine with this dogma become traditional.
They were far, however, from seizing the precise signification, and the decadence was complete when they substituted, for these last gleams of Atlantean science, their own lucubrations.
He undertook to prove that, well before historical times, the Atlanteans had acquired a marvelous science of which humanity is barely beginning to reconstitute the elements, and whose powerful wrecks are found in the Gauls, Egypt, Persia, and the Indies.
