A comprehensive study of the major occult writings on Atlantis
- Fully examines the many occult teachings on Atlantis, including
those from G. I. Gurdjieff, Madame Blavatsky, Julius Evola, Edgar
Cayce, Fabre d'Olivet, and Dion Fortune
- Shows how these writings correlate with the concept of cyclical
history, such as the Mayan calendar and 2012, the Age of Aquarius,
and the four Yugas
- By a renowned scholar, author, editor, and translator of more
than 30 books
Atlantis has held a perennial place in the collective imagination
of humanity from ancient Greece onward. Many of the great minds of
the occult and esoteric world wrote at length on their theories of
Atlantis--about its high culture, its possible location, its
ultimate demise, and their predictions of a return to Atlantean
enlightenment or the downfall of modern society.
Beginning with a review of the rationalist writings on
Atlantis--those that use geographic and geologic data to validate
their theories--renowned scholar Joscelyn Godwin then analyzes and
compares writings on Atlantis from many of the great occultists and
esotericists of the 19th and 20th centuries, including Fabre
d'Olivet, G. I. Gurdjieff, Guido von List, Julius Evola, Edgar
Cayce, Dion Fortune, and Rene Guenon, whose writings often stem
from deeper, metaphysical sources, such as sacred texts, prophecy,
or paranormal communication. Seeking to unravel and explain the
histories and interpretations of Atlantis and its kindred myths of
Lemuria and Mu, the author shows how these different views go
hand-in-hand with the concept of cyclical history, such as the
Vedic system of the four Yugas, the Mayan calendar with its 2012
end-date, the theosophical system of root races, and the precession
of the equinoxes. Venturing broader and deeper than any other book
on Atlantis, this study also covers reincarnation, human evolution
or devolution, the origins of race, and catastrophe theory.
