Beyond the popular legend of a sunken city, there is a rich and detailed account of the Atlantean civilisation found in the spiritual philosophy of the Ascended Master Teachings, which aims to reconcile ancient wisdom with modern understanding. This version of the story is more than just a fairy tale; it is a meaningful morality play about the rise and fall of a powerful society, offering important lessons for our world.

The Dawn of a Great Race

In the Theosophical view, the Atlanteans were not just a single island nation but a vast and ancient human race that once inhabited a continent much larger than any modern landmass. Imagine a continent filling a significant part of what we now call the Atlantic Ocean, a world that thrived for millions of years. Over time, geological shifts caused this enormous landmass to break apart into seven main peninsulas and islands before it vanished completely.

The Atlanteans were a tall, beautiful, and graceful people who represented a unique stage in human evolution. While today we focus on developing logical thought and reasoning, the Atlanteans stood out because of their highly developed memory and strong psychic abilities. Like the Lemurians, an even older civilization, most of them had spiritual vision and a powerful connection to their divine source, which allowed them to perceive a reality far beyond our five physical senses.

A Civilisation of Wonder and Power

The Atlanteans reached a zenith of civilisation that, in some ways, surpassed our own. Their accomplishments were a direct reflection of their unique spiritual and psychic gifts. They developed a wondrous technology that included advanced energy sources and “airships” for example. Their engineering and architecture were equally magnificent, characterized by glorious, yet extravagantly decorated, structures.

According to the Theosophical teachings, remnants of their civilization and knowledge were passed on, influencing the creation of ancient wonders like the pyramids in Egypt and the Americas.

The Downfall: A Cautionary Tale

According to the Ascended Master teachings, the fall of Atlantis was not just a tragic geological event but the inevitable result of a moral and spiritual decline. The Atlanteans, especially their ruling class, grew increasingly “selfish and materialistic.” They began to misuse their advanced technology and powerful psychic abilities for personal gain, turning to the practice of “black magic.” Their worship shifted from pure reverence for their Divine Source Within to a corrupted admiration of their mental powers and idols.

This spiritual corruption set in motion a series of cataclysmic events. The destruction of the continent was not as a single, sudden flood, but a long, drawn-out process of successive geological upheavals, earthquakes, and floods spanning hundreds of thousands of years. The final, swift submergence of the last surviving island, Poseidonis, around 9,600 BC, was simply the last act in a long-unfolding tragedy.

Before this island was burdened with the pressures of human creation, the Divine Hierarchy once again warned the priests and priestesses of the Temples of Light about the upcoming cataclysm, several years before it happened. Similar to what happened in the sinking of Lemuria, these spiritual beings decided among themselves to embed the Sacred Flames, which they had guarded and protected since Lemurian times, into their own Heart Flames and then carry them to other parts of Earth’s surface that would endure the upcoming changes. In this way, they reestablished new centers of the Sacred Fire for the blessings of future civilizations.

A Lesson for Modern Humanity

Whether one accepts the existence of Atlantis as a historical fact or views it as a profound myth, this story offers invaluable lessons for us today. It warns us that technological advancement and immense power are not enough to sustain a civilization if its people lack a moral and ethical foundation. The Atlanteans’ mistake was in letting their incredible abilities and knowledge be corrupted by greed and a focus on the self.

The story of Atlantis teaches us the importance of living a life dedicated to the benefit of all humanity, not just ourselves. It encourages us to look beyond the surface of our material world and consider the spiritual and ethical responsibilities that come with progress and power. In a world full of technological marvels, the ancient story of Atlantis serves as a timeless reminder that our collective fate is tied to our character, our values, and our willingness to choose a path of compassion over self-interest. It is a lesson that echoes across millennia, urging us to learn from the mistakes of the past to build a better future.

God Bless You!

THE PATH TO THE GOLDEN AGE

The Golden Ages are cycles of deep spiritual illumination in human history, marked by peace, beauty, and harmony. During these times, love and divine virtues elevate humanity, awakening the Divine Spark within each individual. Temples of Light, Angels, and Ascended Beings walk among us, bringing a sense of bliss, and suffering and discord disappear. Historically, great civilisations flourished in these moments of glory under enlightened leaders. However, materialism led to spiritual decline and catastrophe. Today, humanity stands on the verge of another Golden Age, where divine consciousness can be rediscovered. Temples and virtues will be reborn, revealing our true inner nature. This awakening will guide us toward harmony, spiritual fulfillment, and a renewed connection with the Divine Within.

THE LOST LAND OF LEMURIA

Lemuria was a highly advanced and spiritual ancient landmass in the Pacific, believed to be the cradle of human civilisation. Known for magnificent Temples of Enlightenment, its inhabitants harnessed the Power of the Sacred Fire, which kept the divine virtues and connection to their Divine Source alive. They interacted with Ascended Masters and Angelic Beings, living in a State of Grace and spiritual harmony akin to the Garden of Eden. As the civilization declined due to negative influences, sacred knowledge was preserved and moved to safer localities, giving rise to later civilizations like Atlantis. Lemuria’s legacy inspires us to reconnect with our inner Light and virtues, reminding us of humanity’s cycle of rise, fall, and renewal - encouraging peace, harmony, and spiritual awakening today.

THE RISE AND FALL OF ATLANTIS

The story of Atlantis, beyond the legend of a sunken city, is detailed in the spiritual teachings of the Ascended Masters. It describes a once-great civilization that thrived on a vast continent in the Atlantic Ocean, known for advanced technology, architecture, and spiritual insight. Over time, moral and spiritual decline led to their downfall, marked by misuse of power and environmental cataclysm, culminating in the submersion of Poseidonis around 9,600 BC. This legend serves as a moral lesson, emphasizing that technological progress alone is insufficient without a strong ethical foundation. It urges modern humanity to prioritize integrity, compassion, moral values, and spiritual awareness, warning that greed and selfishness can lead to the destruction of a civilisation.
