Science and the Use of Light

I will only briefly mention the technical applications of the laser beam or how the Atlanteans used to collect and condense the Light of the Sun by means of hugh crystals. You already know how they used the energy obtained in this way to run all kinds of instruments and machines. The laser is light concentrated into a single beam of tremendous power, which can be used to perform all kinds of extraordinary operations. The Atlanteans knew all about the laser and various techniques we recently discovered and other possibilities still yet to be discovered. It is funny in a way because using light or demonstrating the power of light is done more by scientists than mystics. Actually, the future will be one great discovery of light! Scientists conduct their experiments in well-equipped laboratories; those who desire to spiritually evolve cannot afford to neglect their own inner laboratories equipped for us by nature. Atlanteans had advance high technology but not the needed spiritual knowledge required to keep science and spirit balanced.

Nothing can be discovered on the physical plane, which does not already exist, in some form or another, on a subtler level. Discovering is uncovering, by means of intuition or imagination. We are explorers and the quality of our life determines the quality of our emanations. It helps in the discovery when we get all the faculties and all our activities to converge toward a single target, which is, the illumination and perfecting of the whole being. Can you imagine what would happen if the greater per cent of humanity concentrated on Light?

Have a balanced and happy weekend~

Rudolph Steiner's Akashic Record

Steiner states that the early Atlanteans had a different mental capacity than ours; they were not equipped with logic but did have a highly developed memory. Whatever they performed, they did from memory. They thought in images, like our animals and not in concepts. Over a long period of Atlantean life they lived uniform lives because of the developed and faithful memory. They did not invent a million years ago, they remembered. People respected a person who looks back upon long experience.

The Mystery Schools back then had a requirement for admission. The student had to remember previous incarnations and acquired the faculties for receiving wisdom. No logic...only memory. The personality was not important. They knew how to control the life force, how to control the energy dormant in grains and plants. They had vehicles that could float at ranges lower than mountain ranges. The vehicles could not be used today because at that time the cover of air, which enveloped the earth was much denser than it is now. During the early cycle the water on the whole earth was much thinner than today. Because of the thinness, the water could be directed and used for technical services. Civilization was radically different than ours.

Atlanteans took into himself water, which could be used by the life force of his body to increase physical power when he needed them for a project. Their ideas of fatigue and depletion of forces were quire different from ours. In the early cycle, the community did not resemble our modern city. They lived in alliance with nature. This alliance continued to the middle of the third sub race. Settlements resembled a garden in which houses were built of trees with artfully intertwined branches. Their social sense was related to nature. Nature was considered common property. Plants and animal form have become quite different since that time. All of nature has been subjected to transformation.

Rudolph Steiner and the Akashic Record

The following information in this particular article is partly taken from Rudolph Steiner and his exploration of the Akashic Record approximately a million years ago. The early people had a will that was magical. An example was their ability to affect the growth of flowers. Natural surroundings depended on the beings that lived during that epoch. Steiner places land masses prior to the Atlantean beginning and states that they were essentially manipulated by the use of evil will of an earlier root race who were divided in the area of intention referred to as the Lemurians. A small group survived and were the earliest Atlanteans. Race development and soul development work hand in hand. It was after this catastrophe we come to the ancient Atlantean epoch when the human race developed in a more expanded way in the physical senses. More on that later. They lived very differently than we do. They had a kind of spiritual vision and their bodies had a different construction. The etheric body was not yet so firmly bound up with the physical body. Keep in mind, there were different epochs or stages of Atlantean growth. Later, towards the last third of the Atlantean epoch did the projecting etheric body draw in and take the form of the present physical human head.

Their bodies did not look like ours and their whole soul life was different. If you were to visit early Atlantis, you would find that it was not surrounded by air as the present earth but by air saturated with volumes of mist with water. This air became clearer and more transparent the further Atlantis developed. The mists were densest where the more advanced Atlantean civilization developed. Atlantis was covered far and wide by mist. No division of rain and sunshine. No rainbows...not until Noah after the flood witnessed the first rainbow. From the point of physics, it was impossible before due to the weather conditions to see a rainbow. Ancient Atlanteans lived in a different state of consciousness and memory was different from what we have now. Today, we use our physical senses during the day. At night and asleep our etheric and astral body and ego withdraw. In the morning, everything returns. It was just the opposite experience for the early Atlanteans.

During the early Atlantean period, their physical world was entirely different. We see objects in clear outlines. They saw objects indistinctly like someone would who is very nearsighted. Only gradually through time did the clear outlines develop. In early times, objects looked like cloudy structures. Early Atanteans did not sleep like we do. Since the physical formations were misty, human beings lived within a spiritual or more subtle world where they had better sight. Spiritual beings, not physical ones, were their companions. Just the opposite of the average humans experience today. More...
