How I Know Atlantis Definitely Existed - Care to Find Out?

Atlantis - a legendary continent said to have existed in the Atlantic Ocean before 12,000 years ago or at least until this land or island fell into the waters. Furthermore it is said that the other civilizations of the so-stated time (such as ones in Mexico, Central America, South America and Egypt) were greatly influenced by the survivors of Atlantis who left before its final destruction.
Other evidence or absolute proof of Atlantis could be related to some very recent discoveries within the Bermuda Triangle where there is a rumor of two large pyramids made of clear glass or crystal found under water Additionally, some archaeologists and underwater specialists have encountered stone structures found under the water by the island of Bimini who claim these stone buildings offer tangible proof of the Atlantean civilization.
Besides, over the years, we have personally met a number of people who have either had a vision or a past life memory of seeing themselves living in Atlantis in a former timeframe. Further, through various studies made by different spiritually based organizations they believe that Atlantis may have existed in various forms and stages of development for several hundred thousands of years.
But I believe that we have two other proofs which are even more substantial then anything which has been shared in this article so far:
1) The best source of information about Atlantis was revealed through the sleeping prophet Edgar Cayce who lived from 1877-1945. For the last forty years of his life he went into an altered state of consciousness and would give what were called life readings. These reading either were about the current life of the individual having the reading or could have been related to a past life of the person which is related to circumstances and events in their current life. Sometimes Mr. Cayce would give a reading for a person who was not in his physical presence.
In total, Edgar Cayce gave over 600 life readings which involved a description about the legendary Atlantis detailing how the individual he was providing the reading for (their soul) lived during one of the ages of this great civilization. It is hard to believe that such consistent information about one past culture could be spoken through a person who was not functioning from his normal waking consciousness. Actually Mr. Cayce had no memory whatsoever of anything that he would speak during his sessions.
Further Edgar Cayce described three ages of Atlantis - the first age from before 50,000 BC (the Theosophical Society saids this age could have started as far back from 1 million to 800,000 years) where Atlantis existed as one huge continent in the Atlantic Ocean. However due to a war which he stated had occurred between the Sons and Daughters of Light (or the Law of One) versus the Sons and Daughters of Belial (people who did not believe in the Creator but worshipped the material world and advance technologies that they could use as a power over others); that around 50,000 BC, Atlantis was split into five islands of which the largest being called Posedia.
Then the second age went till about 10,500 BC when once again the two groups had another conflict and then all that remained of Atlantis was Posedia. About one thousand years later or 9,500 BC, the Sons and Daughters of Light had prophetic visions of the final destruction of Atlantis and knew they had to leave. Therefore these individuals took all of their tools and sacred knowledge and brought them to their colonies that existed within the world at that time. That would be including North, Central and South America and into Egypt.
These Atlanteans knew that that these special tools and their wisdom must be preserved for a future time of humanity when it would be needed again. I believe we are now living in this time and that this is why more evidence of Atlantis is coming publicly forward.
Edgar Cayce further stated that many people who have incarnated into the modern world of today had lifetimes in Atlantis. That as these same souls met once again in our present world that there would be a similar struggle as had happened in Atlantis. And it appears that humanity is once again using our modern technology to disrupt our world, our ecology and environment in addition to continuing to wage terrible wars at various times.
But what can save us is the advance technology and wisdom that probably has been buried in Atlantean time capsules - in secret places. That those souls who fled Atlantis and helped with the preservation of their technology and records have reincarnated today and perhaps, will one day remember to go back to these secret location to retrieve what they have hidden before. And once we have these advance tools and the sacred knowledge of Atlantis, these resources could assist humanity to create a world of total peace.
Now besides having on a personal level my own visions and insights about a time coming for our world to see total peace, there are many other people who are having a similar vision. For example, there is a book called "My Descent into Death" based on the Near Death Experience of Howard Storm.
In this book (which is his story) Mr. Storm goes to Heaven and meets the Angels and the Christ, who show him the power of the Creator's Love. Then Mr. Storm is sent back to his physical self upon the earth. But the key message he received is that the Creator through the Christ and the Angels will be directly assisting Humanity at some point in our future so together we will make a beautiful and peaceful world.
Though Mr. Storm's story might sound a bit religious for those of us who follow a spiritual path, we know in the depth of our beings that there is a loving higher intelligence which watches over us helping us continuously in our spiritual evolution. And we call this force "God" or the "Creator"
Anyway, I apologize but I always share something interesting I have come across just before I begin to write a new article. Anyway, getting back to Atlantis, there is another book that was written by a Dr. Phelon, who was the head of a Hermetic Mystical Order that was published in 1903. In this book, Dr. Phelon reported of an experience he had in the late 1800's, while taking a boat from New York City to California (which means they had to go around Cape Horn of South America).
On this boat he met a very interesting man who was the only other passenger on the ship. They had many conversations about Atlantis and Lemuria. I suspect this stranger was linked to some secret order who had a direct connection with the ancient history and knowledge of Atlanis in some manner.
To make a long story short, this stranger guided Dr. Phelon to one of the islands in the West Indies (between Cuba and South America) where they discovered a stone structure of advance design sticking out of the water. The Stranger somehow knows how to open the door to this building and inside they find in a wooden box containing an ancient papyrus scroll written in Ancient Atlantean. Dr. Phelon writes down the translation of this document from the stranger who understand Atlantean and in the scroll it tells a remarkable story about what Atlantis is like from about 29,000 B.C. How did the Atlantean live and what did it mean to be an Atlantean is contained in the scroll including the higher spiritual principles they followed which guided their lives.
As one begins to read this book, what is quite remarkable is the writer of the scroll discusses a period of time when the Atlanteans had total harmony between their sciences, their governmental institution and their spirituality. That for a new law to be passed, all the people of the land had to agree, not just a few elected officials who represented everyone.
And finally that everything from the visible must first originate in the invisible. It appears this ancient document is offering to us in our world of today a powerful sign of where humanity is headed for in our near future. I don't know, what do you think?
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this report - and that it has perhaps offered to you some new insights about the legendary Atlantis

Joshua Shapiro and his partner Katrina Head are known as the Crystal Skull Explorers. Living in the Seattle area since 2011, they have traveled the world sharing key information about the crystal skulls along with their 16 skulls they call the crystal children as well as discussing other world mysteries (such as Atlantis, UFOs, Crop Circles, Orbs, Prophecy, the Hollow Earth, etc..). For 2012 they plan to write several new e-books including a new one that shares interviews with various trance mediums in the world. To learn more about them visit their website at:

In 2012, Where to Assemble After the Continental Shift?

Our Earth turns counter-clockwise. In Timaeus, Plato described the shifting in the Earth's crust as follows: "The globe makes all kinds of movements, forwards and backwards and then downward, wandering in all directions." This uncommon portrayal of the behavior of the Earth's surface perfectly describes a polar reversal. At the end of 2012, once the polar reversal has taken place, the Earth will begin rotating clockwise. At this time the Earth's crust will have shifted, pushing North America in the direction of the pole. It will seem as if the Earth is moving itself in all directions: from left to right and from below to above and vice versa. There are plenty of directions the continents can move in! But where will they end up?

Fourteen thousand years ago the scientists of Aha-Men-Ptah calculated that their whole continent would be destroyed completely, come 9792 BC. With great certainty, they knew how the Earth would start behaving. It is highly probable that they based their predictions on the polar shift of 29,808 BC. They must have speculated that the same type of shift would take place in 9792, but in reverse, leading them to the conclusion that the continents would drift back in the opposite direction. After many calculations they also figured out that their entire continent would become the South Pole and would therefore freeze over and become uninhabitable. For that reason they decided to lay plans for a mass exodus to take place on that fateful day. Many were able to escape despite the multitude of difficulties they encountered, among them, a civil war.

Escape and Overpopulation
Because the Atlanteans had hundreds of years of preparation to survive the last cataclysm, there are billions, instead of tens of millions, of people living in the world today. Taking this into consideration, we encounter an unfortunate moral and ecological question: would it be better that a great many or that only a vital few should survive? For the time being, this question need not be answered. Few know about the forthcoming catastrophe. Even fewer are convinced of taking measures to ensure anyone's survival. Perhaps only a few thousand will survive, a minute fraction of the percentage that survived twelve thousand years ago.

The reasons we will suffer such devastation are simple: lack of preparation and planning. The last time a polar shift occurred, the Atlanteans were prepared. They had built enough unsinkable boats to carry everyone off the continent. They had also devised an evacuation plan, which they practiced in preparation for the coming event. Presently, there are few ships available to the public that will withstand the devastation of a polar reversal. There is no plan for escape.

A Catastrophic Shift?
In the event a polar shift of greater magnitude than anticipated should occur, all our present plans may be futile; that is to say, in a case such as one wherein the present polar landmasses would shift all the way to the equator in a very short period of time. Such a drastic shift would have disastrous effects on planetary life.

In the July 25th 1997 issue of Science magazine, there is published proof that such a monumental polar shift can occur. The facts were gathered by researchers of the California Institute of Technology and relate to a period of 535 million years ago. Geologists at the California Institute discovered "that a change of 90 degrees had occurred in the turning direction of the Earth's axis." Landmasses that were previously situated at the North and South Poles slid around the Earth and stopped on the equator. Two opposite points that were previously situated on the equator became the new poles. The researchers compiled the evidence found at the base of stones deposited during and after this interval of time, and discovered geophysical proof that all the big continents were subject to an impulse movement, a rapid, catastrophic rotation of great proportions involving the whole Earth's crust.

Should we experience a catastrophe of the same magnitude as mentioned above, our numbers will drastically decrease. Few habitable areas will be left on Earth for some time due to the fact that the land under the South Pole is frozen and buried beneath enormous amounts of ice. When newly situated at the equator, the continent will require time to melt before anyone will be able to live there. Currently habitable areas will become colder and less able to sustain life.

According to the facts, a shift this drastic hasn't occurred in 535 million years. However chances are that this could be when it happens again. A slight polar shift is disastrous enough; a ninety-degree polar shift would be a serious nightmare!

The current theory rests on a shift of thirty, maybe forty degrees; a bit farther than the previous shift. The longer the sun contains its energy, the more power there will be to unleash when it comes time to release it. A somewhat larger shift in the Earth's surface structure is expected, but in the opposite direction than what took place in 9792 BC. Let's hope the conservative estimate is true.

This brings us back to locating possible places that may provide sufficient space for human survival. The Earth's crust is fairly rigid so the shape of the continental landmasses should not deviate much from their pre-catastrophic forms. Considerable differences can occur, but the whole should remain more or less the same; however, some parts will rise above sea level, while others will sink below it.

The sliding around of the lithosphere is what causes us the greatest consternation. When the crust loses its anchor, the continents will move around on the surface of the Earth; this will restrict the number of available choices for habitation. Doing some homework though, we may be able to map out some scenarios in advance, based on a shift of thirty to forty degrees for North America. The reality after the catastrophe, optimistically, should not differ much from at least one of our models. These models make it possible to pick out several starting points for a new civilization. Pessimistically, the shift can turn out very different from our predictions, so we need to keep our options as wide open as possible. Should a starting place fail to be suitable, we need to have a few backup locations chosen to take its place.

The assembly places we are choosing are important to people who want to survive the tidal wave with the help of unsinkable boats. After the catastrophe people in these boats will be separated from others in their boats, large distances of wide-open ocean between them. Groups of survivors will be completely alone, adrift on the open sea. Without a proper plan, chances for continued survival are slim; the odds of restarting a new civilization without those people diminish. The bigger the group, the better are our chances for survival. By establishing possible meeting places beforehand, we are offering everybody the ability to reach a new place they can call home where they will meet others who have the same goal in mind. In order to create this reality, we need to take the following into account:

Meeting places need to be prioritized and restricted to a certain number-a maximum of five assembly places per model. In order for us to survive the "nuclear winter", designated meeting places have to be situated as close to the equator as possible.

According scientific calculations, choices would have to be situated in the following areas:

* South America (somewhere at the height of Lake Titicaca)
* Africa (Dragon Mountains)
* Asia (India, Thailand or Borneo)

We will be posting our choices of preferred meeting places on our website http://2012pro.com before the fatal date.
