The Lost Lands of Mu and Lemuria: Was Australia Once Part of a Sunken Continent?

Lemuria and Mu are interchangeable names given to a lost land believed to have been located somewhere in either the southern Pacific or Indian Oceans. This ancient continent was apparently the home of an advanced and highly spiritual culture, perhaps the mother race of all mankind, but it sank beneath the waves many thousands of years ago as the result of a geological cataclysm of some kind.

The thousands of rocky islands scattered throughout the Pacific, including Easter Island, Tahiti, Hawaii and Samoa, have been claimed by some to be the only surviving remains of this once great continent. The theory of a lost continent in this area has been put forward by many different people, most notably in the mid 19th century by scientists in order to explain the unusual distribution of various animals and plants around the Indian and Pacific Oceans.In the late 19th century occultist Madame Blavatsky reincarnated the idea of Lemuria as a lost continent / spiritual homeland and influenced a host of subsequent occultists and mystics including well known American psychic healer and Prophet Edgar Cayce. The popularisation of Lemuria / Mu as a purely physical place began in the 20th century with ex-British army officer Colonel James Churchward, and the idea still has many adherents today.

The Lost Continent

Atlas is the true name of this archipelago --- continent is an altogether false term, for every "house" or mountain peak was cut from its fellows by natural, though often very narrow waterways. The African Atlas is a mere offshoot of the range. It was the true Atlas that supported the ancient world by its moral and magical strength, and hence the name of the fabled globe-bearer. The root is the Lemurian "Tla" or "Tlas", black, for reasons which will appear in due course. "A" is the feminine prefix, derived from the shape of the mouth when uttering the sound. "Black woman" is therefore as near a translation as one can give in English; the Latin has aendered of the Virgin ("L") and the Serpent ("S"). "THEOS" (root "O," first written "0") means the Sun in his strength and also the Lingam-Yoni conjoined. "CHRISTOS" is "The love of passion of the Rising Sun ("R") and the Serpent" ("S"). The "I" and "T" indicate certain details which are foreign to the present discussion. "NEUMA" (Atlantean "NM") is the "Arch of the Woman," "MARIA," the Woman of the Sun.[23] The words "MEITHRAS" and "ABRAXAS" are again derived from Atlas. (Liber LI - Crowley)

A Hopi Indian Legend

Hopi Legend: On the bottom of the seas lie all the proud cities, the flying patuwvotas (shields)and the worldly treasures corrupted with evil. Faced with disaster, some people hid inside the earth while others escaped by crossing the ocean on reed rafts, using the islands as stepping-stones

The Lemurian Age

The most efficient way to mark the beginning of the Hyperborean Age (mentioned several times in the following) is to consider the tragic end of the Polarian Age, which also marked the end of the Age of Dinosaurs, as a historic guidepost, about 65,000,000 years ago, although many saurians lingered into the following Age, sharing the planet with Man for quite some time.

The Lemurian Root Race has fascinated students of prehistory for many years and this interest will increase as the threshold of mankind's presence on the planet recedes farther back into the dawn of time. The first fact to bear in mind is that the extended epoch that encompassed the Lemurian Age from it's inception to it's fall, included so many changes in climate, geography, fauna and flora, that the way of life for early members of the race who were Hyperborean in physique and in temperament, was quite different from that of later Lemurian subraces and markedly different from those who established Lemurian colonies in other areas of the world later on in their history. Man's temperament evolved also, subrace after subrace as they emerged in Lemuria's history. The demarcation line between the Hyperborean and Lemurian Root Races is hazy. The Hyperborean were nomadic and probably the only effective means of marking the transition from the Hyperborean to the Lemurian Root Race, is to consider their permanent settlement in a chosen location and the end of a purely nomadic way of life as a criterion.

During the latter phases of the Hyperborean Age, worn and weary nomadic groups traveled constantly, moving on when the environment deteriorated, to seek relief from volcanic upheaval and a polluted atmosphere. The ongoing crisis which precipitated mankind's treks to seek sanctuary from natural disaster reached its climax about 35,000,000 million years ago.

Some of the groups that survived journeyed eastwards and eventually, the small clans from Hyperborea that were to bridge the transition into the Lemurian Age, traveled across what is now called Asia leaving small groups of settlers along the way, until some of them came to the land we call Lemuria, much of which now lies beneath the Pacific Ocean. This arduous trekking was of long duration and their nomadic way of life remained harsh as they learned, adapted and overcame their hardships. Both Dr. William F. Warner and the Vedic scholar B.G. Tilak published well researched evidence that the Middle Eastern races of antiquity and the Vedic people of India, recorded facts and information related to the Arctic and it's change to present climatic conditions. Preserved in their written records, are details which could only have been observed and recorded from personal experience.

The first Lemurians were rather inflexible in character, this attitude was to undergo transformation, traversing many stages of behavior, from expressing a grateful, relaxed joy of living to a spoiled selfishness in the latter days of their Age. These of course are very broad generalizations and do not apply to spiritually advanced entities, of whom I believe there are representatives reincarnated to further the evolution of every generation of mankind, nor do they necessarily apply to their disciples. Their racial metamorphosis closely paralleled an improvement in the world's climate and atmosphere, which was also responsible for improvement in their standard of living and eventually led to a beneficent cultural environment.

At first, life was simple, they appreciated improvements in air quality, however slight, for they were much more sensitive to diminished pranic inflow than modern man. Their physique was still too delicate to digest solid foods, but they stabilized their physical well-being with a diet of fresh fruits and herbs, which the Devas had already nurtured in readiness for their changing metabolism. They ate simply, with reverence for their nourishment and gratitude towards those who had provided it. Gradually, their lives became less strenuous and they were able to express a more intense joy of living. There was a great deal of interaction between them and their friends of the Deva Evolution and because of their telepathic skills, trust was established between them and most animal species.

They also relaxed the grip of nervous tension that was a physical legacy from their Hyperborean predecessors and in time, their interest turned to pursuits more in keeping with their evolutionary goals.

'By Thought Alone'

When I next opened my physical eyes, the hall which had been empty and haunting was now filled with thousands of souls; of every race imaginable. The others - the chosen - had come. It was an amazing sight. Ten years earlier I would not have thought it possible for all those thousands of souls to arrive by thought projection alone. It would have seemed impossible to my un-initiated ears. But believe me it is possible and it was exactly how it was done. We had learnt the ancients way of travelling. There WAS no need for the technology developed by the first civilisation. The elders were truthful. I could understand now why they were so adamant their ways were correct. The second civilisation had become lazy by being reliant of technology which did everything for them. The power of the mind and the consciousness, it was driven by, was a powerful piece of technology in itself. A technology developed by the Lemurian scientists. A technology devised by truly clever souls. Scientists responsible for the physical form and its functions. A technology to exist within this vibrational realm. A technology which has functions and mysteries which the Belialians have kept from all who are reliant on the technology in this realm ...

And in the future it all stood to become lost. Lost due to the selfishness of the power seeking Belialians. We, the chosen, would be unable to prevent universal intention. For it was intention of the source to inflict a payback on mankind. A payback designed to teach mankind a mechanism unique to the manifest plane.

All actions have a reflection

All actions return on a circle

They are bound to return

All action have a reaction

Two halves of the whole

All deeds have a shadow

It is the shadow that makes itself known

The Lost Lemuria

The legend of Mu is found on islands all over the Pacific Ocean. For thousands of years the Polynesians have handed down the story of a civilisation in the Pacific that was motherland of mankind.

The name of Mu somehow sounds like an uninteresting contraction of a more exotic name. In contrast, the word Lemuria invokes a picture of a land at the dawn of time, a land forgotten in our histories but not in our dreams.

The name Lemuria resulted from a Nineteenth Century controversy over Darwin's Origin of the Species. Defenders of Darwin had trouble explaining how certain species became distributed over large areas. Zoologists had a particularly difficult time explaining the distribution of the lemurs. The lemur is a small primitive form of primate found in Africa, Madagascar, India, and the East Indian archipelago. Some zoologists suggested a land mass in the Indian Ocean, between Madagascar and India, millions of years ago. An English zoologist, Phillip L. Schlater, proposed the name Lemuria (LEMURia) for this former land of the LEMURS in the Indian Ocean.

Earnst Heinrich Haeckel (1834-1919), a German naturalist and champion of Darwin, used Lemuria to explain the absence of fossil remains of early man: If man originated on a sunken continent in the Indian Ocean, all the fossils of the missing link are now under the sea. To quote Haeckel: "Schlater has given this continent the name of Lemuria, from the semi-apes which were characteristic of it."

Zoologists have now explained the distribution of lemurs without resorting to the use of a land bridge. And anthropologists have discovered many bones of ancient man in Africa. However in the nineteenth century, Haeckel's theories were widely read and respected. As a result, the name Lemuria was well known among educated people in Europe and America.

Madame Elena Petrovna Blavatsky (born Helena Hahn 1831-1891), the founder of Theosophy, in her book The Secret Doctrine (1888), claimed to have learned of Lemuria in The Book of Dzyan, which she said was composed in Atlantis and shown to her by the Mahatmas. However, in her writings she did give Philip Schlater the honor of inventing the name, Lemuria.

Mme Blasvatsky located her Lemuria in the Indian Ocean about 150 million years ago. She may have obtained her ideas of a sunken land in the Indian Ocean from Sanskrit legends of the former continent of Rutas that sank beneath the sea. But the name Rutas sounds too spiritless and uninspiring to have held such a prominent place in cosmic history.

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.

The English Theosophist W. Scott-Elliot, who said he received his knowledge from the Theosophical Masters by "astral clairvoyance", writes in The Story of Atlantis & The Lost Lemuria (1896), that the sexual exploits of the Lemurians so revolted the spiritual beings, the Lhas, that they refused to follow the cosmic plan of becoming the first to incarnate into the bodies of the Lemurians. Scott-Elliot located his Lemuria not only in the Indian Ocean: He described it as stretching from the east coast of Africa across the Indian AND the Pacific Oceans.

In this century, writers have increasingly placed Lemuria in the Pacific Ocean. Even psychics and modern prophets channel beings who were citizens of Lemuria. Today just about everyone who has heard of Lemuria assumes that the legends of Mu are identical with the English zoologist's land of the lemurs.

Lemuria

Lemuria was an ancient civilization which existed prior to and during the time of Atlantis. Physically, it is believed that Lemuria existed largely in the Southern Pacific, between North America and Asia/Australia. Lemuria is also sometimes referred to as Mu, or the Motherland (of Mu). At its peak of civilization, the Lemurian people were both highly evolved and very spiritual. While concrete physical evidence of this ancient continent may be difficult to find, many people "know" that they have a strong connection to Lemuria.
