INTRODUCTION
In the mists of time, or even beyond the
time and space we know now, was the land of Lemuria in existence; perhaps when
the Vernal Point was located in the Constellation Leo, in one of the many and
ancient world cycles.
Beyond the fabled Lemuria, yet still other legends tell of the tragedy of the
crystal planet of Arcturus that was destroyed when the vibrational rate was
increased to the point of causing destruction and the female survivors, possibly
the Amazons of mythology, established themselves on planet Earth. Here they
were able to pass on their knowledge under a matriarchal system designed to
hold safe that knowledge which the male polarity had abused in their homeland.
This event probably predated but also overlapped the Lemuria-Atlantis epoch and
may be the origin of the Bear Race, the ancestors of man on Earth.
Beyond the annals of recorded history,
tradition tells the legend of the Atlantean period of civilization. This
continent was submerged in a geological calamity, brought about under the abuse
of the natural laws, by its inhabitants. According to Plato the final
destruction came in c9600 BCE. A
colony of students from this doomed civilization, known as the Masters of
Wisdom, with vision of the coming crisis, emigrated to various parts of the
world to begin again. One such destination was a place called Mizriam and later
called Egypt, a place where these fleeing Masters could reestablish their
knowledge, but this time concealed in order to prevent a repeat catastrophe due
to abuse. However, the Masters did
teach, at the temples, those pupils deemed worthy.
At the collapse of Atlantis, knowledge of
the laws of nature and of divinity, survived through the priest cast, in the
early civilizations of Earth’s known history, and which grew from the remnants
of Atlantis. One of these early
civilizations was established in what came to be known as Ancient Egypt and
where an attempt was made to recreate the Golden Age of Atlantis. Based on that
inherited knowledge, kept and guarded by the Priests of On, Egypt established a
great civilization that survived for four thousand years according to modern
recorded historical texts, although there are records that have a different and
much longer history.
History turns the wheel. The Masters,
sensing a change coming, set in motion an ‘Exodus’ from Egypt led by Moses,
probably a composite mythological figure unless it was the Egyptian rebel
pharaoh Akhenaton. This event occurred in order to preserve the ancient
knowledge, in a new form, from its threatened destruction as the great
civilization of Egypt entered on its decline. Thus Israel, or the land of EL
was established. The ancient knowledge of human thought and evolution was also
passed on from Egypt to the inhabitants of Greece and Gaul at a later time
before their civilization totally disappeared. The route to Greece may well
have been via Crete. Remnants of this event are documented by such great
Masters as, Herodotus, Homer, Hesoid, Plato and Socrates.
Further attempts to resurrect a Golden Age occurred
with the Incas of South America, and later in the Western world, by the
Patriarchs, then later still by the classical Greeks. The Buddha and the Christ
were the preparation for the next attempts, which eventually had some success
in the Renaissance period of 15-17th centuries CE, in Europe and
England, and included the annexing of America to form a ‘New World’ based on
those past Utopian principles. In England the movement centred around the likes
of Bacon, Dee, Fludd, and Queen Elizabeth I, out of which crucible sprang the
foundations of the 19th century social and scientific culture. In
Europe, the contemporaries in the 15-17th century resurgence were
such people as Ficino, Pico, the Medici family, Agrippa, Durer, Bruno, Fludd
and Kircher.
The state of the world in such ‘Golden
Ages’ has been so designated as a reference to the ‘wisdom-knowledge’ and
‘mysteries’ of that age as inherited from the past, which contributed to a
pleasant and productive living. (48) They were often referred to as ‘Arcadia’
the name of the original Utopia, inhabited by the Bear race. The Bear race is
related to the star system of Ursa Major, a star system that plays an important
role in the evolution of planet Earth.
There is a double current of cosmic energy
affecting the evolution of the world. This double current is symbolized in the
two faced ‘Baphomet’ of the Templars. The two faced symbol of the double
current or dual evolutionary force is seen on the one hand as that motivation
which causes humans to strive for the highest of ideals in seeking the truth,
and on the other hand, that motive which opposes this unknown ideal with guile,
ignorance and denial. This latter is a hostile force made even more dangerous by
being backed with activity and intelligence, albeit of the negative sort.
Masters of both camps continually play out their separate universal roles and
engage at various times ‘Messengers’ to compete for the love and faith of the
human mind. The reason for this dual force, as acknowledged by such
philosophical systems as the Gnostics, is because without a duality or polarity
there can be no material manifestation as we know it.
Since the earliest ages in the history of
humanity, humans more highly developed than the average person have been
depositaries of an ancient wisdom pertaining to this dual universal force.
Tradition relates that there exists Seven Brotherhoods of such wise beings, the
most important of which inhabits an unknown monastery in the Himalayas. These
‘Masters of Wisdom’ are most learned in the Laws of Nature, in the methods of
the spiritual world that under-lies and supports the material world. Their
work, done in truth, knowledge, wisdom and love, is to lead the development of
lesser mortals towards the Light of True Reality. The war continuously wages
between light and dark, between divine unity and the promoters of the
fracturing forces of individualism and excessive material want; sometimes one
side and sometimes the other is seen to rule in the world of man. (206)
This ‘Labyrinth History’ follows the path
of Light and some of the Masters who are responsible for transmitting it. In
their journey the wrath of the negative path is often encountered but not dwelt
upon.
Physical
evidence of ‘erect’ man on Earth goes back to at least 116,000 BCE but he did
not become HU-man until advent of ‘Adam’, of which there is no date.
