Lemuria used to be in the Indian Ocean, not the Pacific

Maybe Hawaii is not associated with Lemuria at all. In reading an online article called A Short History of Lemuria, author Larry Williamson says that according to the mystic Madame Elena Petrovna Blavatsky, Lemuria was located in the Indian Ocean, not the Pacific.

Larry Williamson says that Mme Blavatsky:

She described the Lemurians as the third root race to inhabit the earth. They were egg-laying beings with a third eye that gave them psychic powers and allowed them to function without a brain. Originally bisexual, their downfall came about after they discovered sex.

No scientific evidence for the existence of Lemuria

So, now, as a result of my discussion yesterday about Hawaii and Lemuria, I’m interested in Lemuria. According to a Wikipedia article on the subject, there once was scientific interest in a lost continent called Lemuria until the theory of plate tectonics gained favor. Presently, according to the Wikipedia article, “there is no scientific evidence to support” claims that Lemuria once existed and disappeared into the sea.

Ruins of Lemuria underwater in Hawaii

At lunch today I talked with a couple of friends about their experiences in Hawaii. This evening, I wondered if Hawaii had anything to do with Lemuria since Hawaii is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and Lemuria was supposed to be in the Pacific Ocean. Well, you can imagine my delight when I saw this excerpt from Crystalinks:

One of Hawaii’s leading authorities on Lemurian research was Sgt. Williard Wannall from Army Intelligence in Oahu. He reported that ruins of a submerged Lemurian city was between Maui and Oahu. It was a Top Secret project in Naval Intelligence in 1972.

Fiction Book

Today I found a fiction book I wrote about 10 years ago. I like it. I’m happy. It required going through old floppy discs. I am happy that I saved it. Really am enjoying reading through it.

Strait of Gibraltar (Pillars of Hercules) Map Link

Here’s a link to a map of the Strait of Gibraltar, which used to be called the Pillars of Hercules during Plato‘s time. You can see Spain (Europe) at the top and Morrocco (Africa) at the bottom with the Strait of Gibraltar in the middle. It is the waterway that joins the Mediterranean Sea on the right and the Atlantic Ocean on the left. The map is a WorldMap.com and it’s great. This is the Pillar of Hercules that Plato referenced when describing the location of the lost city of Atlantis.

Was Atlantis in Europe or in the Atlantic Ocean?

The recent “sort-of Atlantis” find in Spain–satellite images showed buried concentric circles of ruins reminiscent of Plato’s description of the lost city of Atlantis–beg the question: Was Atlantis in Europe?

Professor Freund, who headed the map-making excursion in Spain, says there’s more to indicate these ruins, which have not be excavated yet, could be Atlantis. A TampaBay.com article says:

Greek philosopher Plato wrote that Atlantis, the shining capital of an ancient civilization, was surrounded by rings of harbors near the Pillars of Hercules, now known as the Straits of Gibraltar. It sank into the sea in one day, he wrote.

Since the concentric circles are in Spain, they are near the Pillars of Hercules. But wait, I always thought that when Plato said, “near the Pillars of Hercules,” he meant on the Atlantic Ocean side of the present-day Straits of Gibraltar, not on the Mediterranean Sea side.

The Straits of Gibraltar (Pillars of Hercules) create a gate between the Mediterranean Sea (plus Europe and Africa), and the wide open Atlantic Ocean, which is where I always thought Atlantis used to be. Out in the ocean between present-day Europe/Africa and the Americas, not in Europe/Africa.

Inspirational quote from Edgar Cayce

Every once in a while I find my mind locked into some worry, some recrimination of myself, some criticism of someone else, and I try to get my mind to go elsewhere, but often fail. This fantastic prayer has been a wonderful help in moving my mind to become hopeful:

“When fear of the future occurs, or fear of the past, or fear of what others will say–put all such away with this prayer–not merely by mouth, not merely by thought, but in body, in mind and in soul say, ‘Here am I, Lord–Thine! Keep me in the way Thou would have me go, rather than in that I might choose.'”

Delightful USF Professor clarifies recent “sort of” Atlantis find in Spain

I had read that archeologists in Spain had been miffed that Professor Freund of the USA had prematurely announced that Atlantis had been found in Spain. So, I wondered, what was the American scientist doing at a Spanish archeological dig?

This delightful St. Petersburg Times interview of the USF geography professor Phillip Reed who mapped the underground structures in Spain using ground-penetrating radar, electric current and powerful metal detectors explains the working relationship between the Spanish archeologists and Freund’s team.

Reeder explains that Freund’s team, of which Reeder is a part, usually goes to an archeological site for a couple of weeks to create a map of buried ruins. They turn over the discoveries to the resident archeologists at the site who usually spend months and even years uncovering the evidence. The map helps the resident archeologists to know where to concentrate their excavations.

Dream Interpretation: to Labor (Birth)

Since my friend’s dream was about being in labor rather than giving birth, here’s a dream interpretation for labor from Dream Forth:

To dream that you are laboring implies that a future venture or endeavor will end positively.
