Atlantis. Edgar Cayce

the first, or greater portion, we find that now known as the southern portions of South America and the Arctic or North Arctic regions, while those in what is now as Siberia—or that as of Hudson Bay—was rather in that region of the tropics, or that position now occupied by near what would be as the same line would run, of the southern Pacific, or central Pacific regions—and about the same way. Then we find, with this change that came first in that portion, when the first of those peoples used that as prepared for the changes in the earth, we stood near the same position as the earth occupies in the present—as to Capricorn, or the equator, or the poles. Then, with that portion, then the South Pacific, or Lemuria [?], began its disappearance—even before Atlantis, for the changes were brought about in the latter portion of that period, or what would be termed ten thousand seven hundred (10,700) light years, or earth years, or present setting of those, as set by Amilius [?]—or Adam.

      We are through for the present.

      GC: You will have before you the material given through this channel on the Lost Continent of Atlantis, a copy of which I hold in my hand. You will answer the questions which I will ask regarding this.

      EC: Yes, we have the information as given respecting the continent Atlantis. In the considerations that may be had concerning such information, many are the questions that must naturally arise in the minds of individuals who would consider same in any way or manner. However, will a very close check be kept upon those who evince an interest, these will be found to be those who occupy in the present some influence innate or manifested from their experience or sojourn under or in that environ. As has been given, this would be well to do; for to the analytical or to the research character of mind, there will be little that may escape the attention of such a mind—when spiritual or psychic, or occult, or those kindred subjects are approached—as to how quick there is the desire, that expression of “I know it, but don’t know how to tell it, will be in that individual’s or entity’s feeling, and expression—when one may be obtained at all. They will immediately become the dreamer! Try this!

      Ready for questions.

      (Q) Explain the information given regarding Amilius [?], who first noted the separation of the peoples into male and female, as it relates to the story in the Bible of Adam and Eve, in the Garden of Eden giving the name of the symbols Adam, Eve, the apple, and the serpent.

      (A) This would require a whole period of a lecture period for this alone; for, as is seen, that as is given is the presentation of a teacher of a peoples that separated for that definite purpose of keeping alive in the minds, the hearts, the soul minds of entities, that there may be seen their closer relationship to the divine influences of Creative Forces, that brought into being all that appertains to man’s indwelling as man in the form of flesh in this material world. These are presented in symbols of that thought as held by those peoples from whom the physical recorder took those records as compiled, with that gained by himself in and through the entering into that state where the entity’s soul mind drew upon the records that are made by the passing of time itself in a material world. As given, these are records not only of the nature as has been termed or called akashic records (that is, of a mental or soul record), but that in a more material nature as set down in stone, that was attempted to be done—has been attempted to be done throughout all time! Why does man now set in stone those that are representatives of that desired to be kept in mind by those making records for future generations? There are many more materials more lasting, as is known to many.

      In the records, then, as this: There are, as seen, the records made by the man in the mount, that this Amilius [?]—Adam, as given—first discerned that from himself, not of the beasts about him, could be drawn—was drawn—that which made for the propagation of beings in the flesh, that made for that companionship as seen by creation in the material worlds about same. The story, the tale (if chosen to be called such), is one and the same. The apple, as ‘the apple of the eye’, the desire of that companionship innate in that created, as innate in the Creator, that brought companionship into the creation itself. Get that one!

      In this there comes, then, that which is set before that created—or having taken on that form, able of projecting itself in whatever direction it chose to take, as given; able to make itself of that environ, in color, in harmony, in whatever source that makes for the spirit of that man would attempt to project in music, in art, in any form that may even be conceivable to the mind itself in what may be termed its most lucid moments, in its most esoteric moments, in its highest animation moments; for were He not the Son of the living God made manifest, that He might be the companion in a made world, in material manifested things, with the injunction to subdue all, bring all in the material things under subjection—all under subjection—by that ability to project itself IN its way? Knowing itself, as given, to be a portion of the whole, in, through, of, by the whole? In this desire, then, keep—as the injunction was—thine self separate: of that seen, but not that seen. The apple, then, that desire for that which made for the associations that bring carnal-minded influences of that brought as sex influence, known in a material world, and the partaking of same is that which brought the influence in the lives of that in the symbol of the serpent, that made for that which creates the desire that may be only satisfied in gratification of carnal forces, as partake of the world and its influences about same—rather than of the spiritual emanations from which it has its source. Will control—inability of will control, if we may put it in common parlance.

      We are through for the present.

      GC: You will have before you the material and information given through this channel on the lost continent of Atlantis, a copy of which I hold in my hand. You will answer the questions which I will ask regarding this:

      EC: Yes, we have the information as written here, as given. In following out that as just given, with these changes coming in the experience of Amilius [?] and I [Ai? Ay?], Adam and Eve, the knowledge of their position, or that as is known in the material world today as desires and physical bodily charms, the understanding of sex, sex relationships, came into the experience. With these came the natural fear of that as had been forbidden, that they know themselves to be a part of but not OF that as partook of earthly, or the desires in the manner as were about them, in that as had been their heritage.

      Were this turned to that period when this desire, then, becomes consecrated in that accomplished again in the virgin body of the mother of the son of man, we see this is then crystallized into that, that even that of the flesh may be—with the proper concept, proper desire in all its purity—consecrated to the living
