The publication of Jess Stearn's best seller
about Edgar Cayce, The Sleeping Prophet, in 1967, widely publicized
Cayce's prophecies that ruins of sunken Atlantis would rise again amidst
world-wide cataclysms, caused by a pole shift that would tilt the earth's
axis, by the beginning of the new millennium. Here are some of the more remarkable
prophecies: "Part of the
French, Belgian, and German coasts will be flooded. All of England will
sink into the sea during a terrible earthquake.... At the same time there
will be a reemergence of a great continent in the region of the Azores
(the old Atlantis). There will be found traces of an ancient culture. Also
at other places will new land emerge from the sea. "A world
destruction as happened to Atlantis 11,000 years ago....Instead of
Atlantis, all of England and parts of the northwest European coasts will
sink into the sea. And in contrast, the sunken Azores region, the island
of Poseidonis, will again be raised from the sea." By comparison Cayce predicted that the
island of Poseidia, which he located in the Bahamas near Bimini, would
rise from the sea in the late 1960s. During World War II an Englishman, Lewis
Spence, counterpredicted the Dresden Pythia in his book, Will Europe
Follow Atlantis? Spence predicted that a tilting of the earth's axis would
cause the European continent to sink--a punishment for waging war against
the British. In 1921 a German writer, Georg Lomer, in his
book Coming World Catastrophes, cited a Harvard University study to prove
his theory that Atlantis had already started to rise. Two Harvard
professors made a study of the sea bottom in the western part of the
Atlantic Ocean in 1912 and concluded that the seabed had undergone a
significant rise. Either Lomer was taken in by a hoax or those professors
really do bear the singularly unfortunate names of Dr. Liar and Dr.
Deluder. In fact, though, the Atlantic seabed has been rising along the
mid-Atlantic Ridge. England's most noted prophet in the early
part of the century was Count Louis Hamon, who wrote under the name of
Cheiro. In his 1927 book Cheiro's World Predictions, he correctly
prophesied that Germany and Italy would go to war against France and
England. Here is what he predicted about earth changes and
Atlantis: "During the coming
50 years an earthquake zone will develop in a North Easterly direction
from the Pacific Coast of Peru, passing through Panama and Mexico, though
the Northern States and Canada to the Arctic
regions. "Eastern cities of
North America...will be seriously affected and a considerable part of New
York will be destroyed.... "During the next
fifty to a hundred years after a series of devastating earthquakes, the
islands of the Azores will rise from the Atlantic and the ruins of the
long lost continent of Atlantis will be discovered and
explored." Medium Anthony Neate, channelled an entity
named Helio-Arcanophus, who claimed to be a king of ancient Atlantis.
Neate's group, called the Atlanteans, had in 1957, published a prophecy by
Helio-Arcanophus about earth changes and Atlantis: "Events will work up gradually. There will
be earthquakes where they are not normally experienced; volcanoes will
become active which have been extinct for centuries. Abnormal weather
conditions will prevail, getting worse as time progresses. The seasons
will appear to have no more significance, for there will be warm days in
winter months and cold days during the normally warm periods of your year.
A substance commonly known as 'black rain' will fall from the skies and
there will be considerable chaos. When these events have risen to a
crescendo, the Earth will tilt. Many lands will disappear beneath the
boiling seas and some will rise from their watery resting places. Among
the latter will be the Island Continent of Atlantis, a land which never
completed its evolution and will soon return to do
so." As to the time of these events,
Helio-Arcanophus said: "Within most of your lifetimes; for your children
will rule Atlantis." More about Atlantis comes through British
medium Eileen Garrett, perhaps the greatest medium of the century. She
became well known in America as the founder of the Parapsychology
Foundation and the most tested medium of modern times. An even more
illustrious questioner at a seance was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of
Sherlock Holmes and, in his later years, a celebrated proponent of
Spiritualism. Sitting in at the seance was Dr. Abraham Wallace, an expert
on metaphysics. Mrs. Garrett was channeling her 12th century Persian
entity, Abduhl Latif, who came through primarily to assist in healing. The
seance was published in the book Health in 1928 by R. H. Sanders, a
physician who consulted with Abduhl Latif about his patients.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: "Can you give any approximate date for the sinking of Atlantis?" Abduhl Latif: "It is not really true to say that the Atlantian people could not make records. Many of these records will one day be found by you, and there must have been something like 15,000 or 16,000 years from the time of my own life [12th Century] to that of the lost races of the Atlantian Civilization. Many people will tell you that Atlantis disappeared so quickly. That is not true. There was a series of three cataclysmic eruptions that caused the gradual disappearance of land. [Cayce also said that there were three destructions of Atlantis.] "There are great
monuments, tombs to be opened, there will be cataclysms that will bring up
to you from the bottom of the sea that which I swear in the name of
Almighty God to be true." Dr. Abraham
Wallace: "I was told that in the early
days they had airships, and they drove their ships by means of etheric
energy." Abduhl
Latif: I do not say that they had
airships, but they had means of flying; they also had means of producing
light from the etheric force, which is equivalent today to the electric
energy." Dr. Abraham
Wallace: "I understand that the
utilization of that etheric energy for evil purposes was the cause of the
first catastrophe in Atlantis, and that today, on the Continent, there are
some people who have attained to a certain knowledge of that, and if they
utilize it as they propose to do there will be a tremendous
catastrophe." A sobering prophecy, one that reminds us
that Germany had initiated work on the atomic bomb, though it was the
Americans who first developed the energy capable of world destruction.
Cayce also said that the destruction of Atlantis was caused by the misuse
of powerful energies. Abduhl Latif agrees with Cayce, the Dresden Pythia,
and Cheiro in prophesying a rediscovery of Atlantean ruins as well as the
familiar catastrophe. In the attic of the Society for Psychical
Research in London, back in the days when they were housed at Adam &
Eve Mews, Old files have been discovered that contain a prophecy by Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle. Conan Doyle had been channelling communication from
his guide Phineas since 1923 and put together a consensus prophecy of
material he had received from other mediums in England and America.
Shortly before his death in 1930, he wrote a letter, published July 20,
1930, in the London Sunday Express, which summarized the channelled
prophecies: "If we state the course of events as
outlined in these various documents and check them with our information,
the result is overwhelming. It would entail a period of terrific natural
convulsions during which a large portion of the human race would perish.
Earthquakes of great severity, enormous tidal waves would seem to be the
agents. There is mention of war, but that would appear to be only in the
early stages and to be in some way the signal for the
crisis. "The following details may be
gathered:-- "That the crisis will come in an
instant. "That the general destruction and utter
dislocation of civilised life will be beyond belief; "That there will be a short period of utter
chaos followed by some reconstruction; "That the total period of the upheavals will
be roughly three years; "That the chief centres of disturbance will
be the Eastern Mediterranean basin, where not less than five countries
will entirely disappear. "Also the Atlantic, where there will be a
rise of land which will be a cause of those waves which will bring about
great disasters upon the Americans, the Irish, and the Western European
shore, involving all the low-lying British coasts. There are indicated
further great upheavals in the Southern Pacific and in the Japanese
region." As for the time of these events, Conan Doyle
felt they were "very close," but also said that mankind could be saved by
returning to spiritual values--a sentiment also expressed by
Cayce. From South America came similar prophecies
of Earth Changes. A Brazilian living in Sao Paulo and writing under the
pseudonym of Dino Kraspedon claimed that the following prophecy, published
in England in 1958 in My Contact with Flying Saucers, was given him
by the captain of a flying saucer. Like Cayce, he predicted the tilting of
the earth's axis but gave as a cause a warming of the North Polar ice cap
that would redistribute the earth's waters. "It will be brought home to you by a
tremendous earthquake that will shake the earth to its foundations. Cities
will fall in ruins and great cracks will appear in the surface of the
Earth.... When this happens land will emerge from the Pacific and from the
North and South Atlantic. The emergence of these new land masses will
change the level of the oceans, causing flooding in the low-lying
countries." In 1950 a celebrated Brazilian medium named
Hercilio Maes channeled a similar prophecy from his guide Ramatis. As
quoted by Pedro McGregor in Jesus of the Spirits (1967), Maes
predicts that the earth's axis will change through ninety degrees due to
the gravitational pull of an enormous new planet which will enter our
solar system soon. "Entire continents such as Europe will be completely
destroyed and vanish forever beneath the new oceans which will form. North
and South Poles will be totally de-iced and man will find unimaginable
riches to help him form the new humanity of the third
Millennium." Axis-tiling appears in an earlier prophecy
from 1922, quoted by Harriette and Homer Curtiss in their Coming World
Changes (1926). They claim the prophecy was given them by a mysterious
personage who immodestly titled himself King of the World:
"Owing to volcanic
activity and a tilting of the axis of the Earth, vast and cataclysmic
changes were to take place in the comparatively near future which would
entirely remodel and rearrange the land surface of the
globe." The most famous of the early prophets of
earth changes and Atlantis was Madame Helena Blavatsky (1831-1891), a
medium, mystic, and founder of the Theosophical Society. In her channeled
work The Secret Doctrine (1887-1897), she prophesied:
"That the
periodical sinking and reappearance of mighty continents, now called
Atlantean and Lemurian by modern writers, is no fiction will be
demonstrated. It is only in the twentieth century that portions, if not
the whole, of the present work will be vindicated." When Edgar Cayce was asked if the rising of
Atlantis would "cause a sudden convolution," his reply was:
"In 1998 we may
find a great deal of the activities as have been wrought by the gradual
changes that are coming about.... This is a gradual, not a cataclysmic
activity in the experience of the earth in this
period." What are we to make of this pattern of
prophecy? Let's look at some possible
interpretations. The agreement of earlier prophecies of earth
changes and Atlantis with similar themes given by Edgar Cayce means that
they were all independently tuning in to the same possible future. Cayce
did not do research on earlier prophecies by others, so he had no logical
way of knowing about them. Yet he could have tuned in through the
Universal Unconscious to the thoughtforms of earlier prophets, especially
if his questioners knew about some of the prophecies and might have
subconsciously directed him to the material. Could the possible future time of
catastrophe described by Cayce and the early prophets now be averted
because of mankind's return to spiritual values? In my opinion, there has
been a substantial kindling of spiritual values that might indeed have
changed the future predicted fifty to seventy-five years ago. My own
channeled guidance on this topic says that the blueprint of catastrophe
has been changed--that contemporary prophets who foresee world-wide
disasters are reading an out-of-date akashic record. The predicted earth
changes have been softened and made much more gradual, averting sudden
catastrophe. What about the timing of predicted events
for which the dates have already passed? Psychic prediction of time is
very unreliable. Psychic perception comes mainly through the right brain
in images while time perception is located in the left brain. It is rare
for a psychic to predict exact dates. So predicted dates should not be
taken very seriously. Could the prophesied earth changes and
rediscovery of Atlantis be symbolic? This is an excellent possibility--one
that is well argued by Kevin J. Todeschi ("Earth Changes: Changing the
Planet or Changing Us?" Venture Inward, May/June
1994). Will we, as predicted by so many, ever
discover conclusive proof of Atlantis--or some advanced pre-Ice Age
civilization? I believe we will. And that the discovery of Atlantis will
signal mankind's spiritual rebirth into a new age. |
