Re: Atlantis: did it exist?

So if people keep chasing a literal Atlantis, why not a literal Zeus and Poseidon??

Re: Atlantis: did it exist?

Hmm. I Have met a guy not long time ago who pretends the greek gods are still the best and christianity has no value at all. As you see, there are all kind of people. I only hope there are not many like him in this world.

Re: Atlantis: did it exist?

Dear Alexa

Thank you for sharing....interesting that Plato said it went in one go, I read somewhere that there were warnings and two parts went first. Lets face it we all get warnings and wake up calls but the question is do we listen to them? Did the Atlanteans? Or were they as arrogant as humankind IS today?

Dear Brian

LOL

Re: Atlantis: did it exist?

Humankind has a new chance to get better with every new born.The technology and science are in continually progress, but I don't believe people nowadays are very different from those, let's say 10 000 ago. We face the same problem : we have to learn to get rid of our ego, in order to help the others, too. Some of us will die and still keep their ego unchanged. Maybe this is only our human nature. Who knows ?

By the way, I'm kind of stuburn type, but this helps me a lot in my job to face the stress and buggers.

Re: Atlantis: did it exist?

Dear Alexa

Ah well we differ here, I do feel the fall down the dimensions of consciousness and ego is another level of consciousness found in the solar plexus. Down the ages people have been programmed to believe that ego is bad and this goes back to the time of Enoch. But I have learnt that ego is the spiritual being 'Expressing GOD's Omnipotence'. In my domain it is the level of consciousness that is I AM Power, and like all things it is about balance and what we choose to do with that powerful energy. The worst thing people can do is to judge the ego because when doing so they are judging GOD and that keeps us in separation. All is divine but what do we choose to do with that divinity?

The solar plexus also sits inside the Hara, what the east call the 'Shrine of the Divine' hence why all martial arts and some CM like Shiatsu works from here.

Also it is being recognised by many people who are working with the new world children, that they are arriving at a much higher level of consciousness then ourselves.

So a different perspective and experience.

Love beyond measure

I'm afraid I do not understand your logic. Do you mean the ego is equal to God ? You cannot keep your ego if you want to be close to God.

Re: Atlantis: did it exist?

I suspect there are different interpretations of "ego" at play here.

Well that is what the Guru's taught down the ages but it is good to think for oneself! it goes back to ancient times when Enoch misconstrued the teachings from GOD.

I do not speak from logic but from a divine revelation from GOD.

Here is the link it was received in September 2002.

Re: Atlantis: did it exist?

I didn't see anything in those pictures to convince me. I guess I'll have to wait till they manage to uncover that hill and see if they are right about it.
