| The universe was silence, then there were words and the words turned to music and the music became creation. Creation started from a fixed point in time and space and spread outward. On the very inner fringes of primordial creation there was born a constellation of Seven Stars. As time passed each was ruled by a Prince and a King bound them all. They evolved from the material to the spiritual. In the spiritual they sought out all creation, seeking to harmonize, to learn, to grow and to acquire understanding. Their threads of consciousness spread over the Universe as a closely woven yarn, making the vastness seem but small and yet infinitely rich. In their expansion they came upon a solar system of eleven planets. Their hearts and spirits fell upon the exceedingly beautiful and rich planet, third from the sun that we call Earth. They sensed its beauty and balance and searching deeper caught glimpses of dream state consciousness among an awakening simian race similar to their own in ages past.. | |

| Three High Princes sought travel to Earth to bring a message of Love and Wisdom from the planetary guardians of the Seven Stars. As if transported on a beam of light they came and encompassed Earth. They saw and felt the planet breathing and felt mother Earth's pride and fear of this simian offshoot that we know as ourselves. They flowed through man's dream time consciousness ever guiding and seeking to teach and to learn. As they felt mankind, an urge long repressed came into being. They longed as if by distant memory for the warmth of the planetary sun, to bathe in cool crystal water, to smell the deep fresh pine, to live in a sensate way, a way long since abandoned by their forefathers. They reasoned (or rationalized) among themselves, could not more good be done if they materialized in a simian form and taught this race more directly? Could they not empathize more truly with their students if they shared the material form with them? Their forefathers/Guardians forbade this. Yet their desire was too great. So one by one they descended to the planet and took physical form. These were not however ordinary beings, but beings of enormous psychic power. Material existence could be molded and changed at their will. Mankind was in many respects to them nothing more than a toy, a caged animal, a pet, a trifle. Yet having only recently descended they retained their nobility of purpose. Their goal was still service: to teach fledgling mankind the deepest mysteries of the universe, to guide him into a state of love and perfect wisdom. Indeed to prove to the Guardians that this state is possible in the long since abandoned material form. These Princes were rebels albeit altruistic. The chief among them was known by many names though the most common was Lucifer, Highest of the High Princes of the constellation of the Seven Stars. | |

| The second and third in the decent are nameless but each ruled: the third was
Prince of the Seventh Sun, the second was High Prince of the fifth Sun. Mankind to these superconscious beings was but a sleeping child. To awaken them they directed the building of temples. Temples proportioned with celestial dimensions and powered by superfocused crystals. Men and women placed in the specially prepared rooms and guided by super conscious intervention experienced a terrible shifting of reality, as if a thousand Earthquakes compressed into one second over and over again.
In this
state of supreme vulnerability mankind was slowly through his unconscious taught his true
place in the Universe and the mysteries therein. Power was centralized in one temple, The
Great Temple. Larger than any present or past structure and covered by a dome translucent
in the center to allow the passage of light to the great crystal therein, a structure
probably impossible to construct with today's engineering. The Great knowledge and science
of Atlantis was kept safe within the Temple to keep it secure and free from outside
meddling. The Planetary Princes were eternal and ruled with a council of ten humans.
Mankind progressed slowly but surely. He colonized Mars and the planet now gone that lay
between Earth and Mars. He built great cities and temples. His homes became things of
beauty that blended into the natural landscape and yet inside were filled with shining
wall paper, dim shimmering gray light and soft subtly changing music. He transported
himself in the air via large brightly colored balloons and dirigibles. He mastered the
power of the crystal and learned how to see beyond the physical plane. He became divided
into classes based on aptitude. The most noble was the warrior class (Warriors of the Rainbow) others
included: priests, scholars, artisans, etc. He built a great city around the great temple.
The city was lined with canals for transportation and surrounded by shielding mountains.
The land was filled with running brooks, streams, waterfalls
and ever present rainbows. The weather was always temperate and disease was infrequent.
In those days, the sun rose
in the West and set in the East. This city was the closest to what mankind now calls
Shangri-la and it was ATA/ the first/father land. Tribes and races throughout the planet
knew of this land. ATA sent armies abroad, traded throughout the world and spread its
culture far and near. The knowledge and wisdom that was Atlantis remained, however, still
largely in the great temple. If the temple was destroyed so to would the bulk of this
great celestial knowledge on Earth. All that would remain was a slender vine that slowly
through the ages would die and wither, preserved in degraded form perhaps by a nameless
few. |

| "To the
Orphics, the soul is of celestial origin and divine; man is a child of earth and starry
heaven; his body of the earth, but his soul, as a late Orphic line expresses it, is
'rooted in the celestial element'. Each soul had lived in the society of Gods, and was in
fact a God." "This godly soul however sinned and ended up in a body. We are told by Aristotle that in the Orphic verses the soul was said to be carried to and fro by the winds, and drawn into the body by respiration. The cause of the soul's descent was sin, and its imprisonment in the body has a penitentiary purpose." "...As soon as a soul got into the body, the doors of the prison-house close around her. The soul has entered upon what the Orphics call the 'circle' or 'wheel of generation', a long and weary circuit of birth and death." "Orphism, Return to the Gods" in Advance, Issue 119

happiness if thou hadst not those for whom thou shinest!
J.R.R. Tolkien's, "The Lord of the Rings" Frodo stood awhile still lost in wonder. It seemed to him that he had stepped through a high window that looked on a vanished world. A light was upon it for which language had no name..In winter here no heart could mourn for summer or spring. No blemish or sickness or deformity could be seen in anything that grew upon the earth...Frodo felt he was in a timeless land that did not fade or change or fall into forgetfulness. Frodo upon reaching Cerin Amroth and the land of
Lothlórien Here is the heart of Elvendom on earth and
here my heart dwells ever, unless there be a light beyond the dark roads that we still
must tread, you and I.
There are Heavenly lands
1 It happened after the sons of men had multiplied in those days, that daughters were born to them, elegant and beautiful. 2 And when the angels, (3) the sons of heaven, beheld them, they became enamoured of them, saying to each other, Come, let us select for ourselves wives from the progeny of men, and let us beget children. (3) An Aramaic text reads "Watchers" here (J.T. Milik, Aramaic Fragments of Qumran Cave 4 [Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1976], p. 167). 4 And that I alone shall suffer for so grievous a crime. 6 And bind ourselves by mutual execrations, that we will not change our intention, but execute our projected undertaking. 8 That mountain therefore was called Armon, because they had sworn upon it, (5) and bound themselves by mutual execrations. (5) Mt. Armon, or Mt. Hermon, derives its name from the Hebrew word herem, a curse (Charles, p. 63). 9 These are the names of their chiefs: Samyaza, who was their leader, Urakabarameel, Akibeel, Tamiel, Ramuel, Danel, Azkeel, Saraknyal, Asael, Armers, Batraal, Anane, Zavebe, Samsaveel, Ertael, Turel, Yomyael, Arazyal. These were the prefects of the two hundred angels, and the remainder were all with them.(6) (6) The Aramaic texts preserve an earlier list of names of these Watchers: Semihazah; Artqoph; Ramtel; Kokabel; Ramel; Danieal; Zeqiel; Baraqel; Asael; Hermoni; Matarel; Ananel; Stawel; Samsiel; Sahriel; Tummiel; Turiel; Yomiel; Yhaddiel (Milik, p. 151). 10 Then they took wives, each choosing for himself; whom they began to approach, and with whom they cohabited; teaching them sorcery, incantations, and the dividing of roots and trees. 11 And the women conceiving brought forth giants,
(7) 12 Whose stature was each three hundred cubits. These devoured all which the labor of men produced; until it became impossible to feed them. 13 When they turned themselves against men, in order to devour them;
