"From the ancient Akashic Records, renowned psychic Edgar Cayce gives an amazingly detailed and fascinating vision into the legendary world of Atlantis and its extraordinary people. The section on the people and places of Atlantis is exclusive to Cayce's visions into this celebrated paradise. Cayce's readings describe the powerful crystal; the flying machines that could soar through the air, under water, and out into space; the energy generators that harnessed the sun's rays and channeled them into building a magnificent country of luxury, wealth, and peace. Cayce's discourses describe how the Atlanteans rejuvenated their bodies regularly, allowing them to live hundreds of years longer than we do today. But he also tells of how this great culture fell from grace and power, destroying itself and its continent in the process. In a strangely prophetic discourse, Cayce says that many ancient Atlanteans are reincarnating in the world today, bringing with them both the good and evil of that ancient land. Drs. Gregory and Lora Little, and John Van Auken present this story in an absorbing narrative of the legends of Atlantis and the latest discoveries in the ongoing search for remnants of the lost continent. The book contains over a hundred illustrations--some never published before. Included in the story of Atlantis are vignettes of the forgotten lands of Mu and Lemuria, the legend of Lilith and Amilius, Plato's history, and strange creatures of Atlantean lore. This book includes a complete description of and update on the three Atlantean record caches that Edgar Cayce identified and the modern-day explorations seeking to find these lost halls of the ancient records."--Back cover.
作品考察・見どころ
エドガー・ケイシーが透視したアトランティスの記憶は、単なる空想を超え、人類の魂に刻まれた壮大な叙事詩です。本書の核心は、高度な水晶技術と精神性の調和に失敗した文明の悲劇を通じ、現代を生きる我々の「業」を烈々と問い直す点にあります。 伝説の没落を単なる過去の遺物とせず、転生という概念で現在と地続きにする構成は、神秘学的な奥深さと文学的な緊張感を湛えています。著者の実証的な視点が加わることで、未知の歴史への探求心は極限まで高まり、読者は失われた自己の起源を巡る、時空を超えた魂の旅へと強烈に誘われるでしょう。
