| Early on in the Atlantean culture, we felt a sense of freedom, having been given a new 'stage' on which to continue the drama. (This mere thought reflected how much we felt separated from the Source. We were now viewing the creation as being external to us.) We had been given a sense of reprieve from the fear energy, we thought. Thinking had begun to be part of our perspective. As our physical bodies became more stable we could no longer change our form at will, and therefore thought could be accommodated as a whimsical experience, no longer linked to manifestation... or so we thought. When God hadn't saved us in Lemuria, we began to regard this 'external parent' as, at best, rather indifferent; and at worst, the cause of our woes. As we had separated our will from God's Will, we forgot that we were the creators of our own reality. We could still choose to trust that our form would be changed at the external 'will of God' as we now perceived it; or deny the existence of God altogether and be in even more fear. We began to think that some other energy had control over our physical body - fear of death was the result. This fear actually began to lessen the life-span of each form. Congruously, as the fear grew over our loss of control of our own form, we feared life more as well. As we now perceived it, the will of others (something external) had control over our physical bodies so we had to protect ourselves from unwanted change. In truth, we were still creating what we desired; it was just that fear and denial became such major components of our creations, that we could no longer recognise these creations as our own. We felt trapped at the will of external energy (either God or human). For the first time, we feared that we could be 'killed'. It was at this moment that we really gave away our power. We had created a new piece of the jigsaw of illusion, the one we call reality. The minute we suppress a fear or deny a feeling, we give it power; and thus, through further fragmentation we create a new piece of the puzzle. In Lemuria, because we were still consciously able to create physicality, we had created visible physical beings which reflected our denied feelings and fears. In Atlantis we began creating fragments of energy which now reflected our unpleasant and ignored emotions. These fragments became beings in their own right, just as the physical entities had in Lemuria, and, for that matter, in Mu. (Mu was a state very like Lemuria; and is often referred to as the same place. They were probably better described as 'states of being' although they did have physical locations. Their creation was around the 'same time' and both retreated in consciousness and physicality after Atlantis prospered.) As more stable separated energies, we began to feel very small and alone which resulted in a great need to form relationships with other energies, now embodied within physical form. We began by creating relationships with a number of entities at once as an attempt to re-form as One from the many fragments we had created in Lemuria. We began enjoying the experiment of sexuality for the first time. Our desire to reunite as One energy was the fuel for physical merging. At first, unconditional Love, and joy at the experiment, was what kept our polygamous households together. Some of us, who are now considering this way of life again, are responding to the far memories of this ideal. We were also feeling the importance of being individuals with separate identities. This meant we needed to name ourselves and the things around us so we could distinguish what was what. We then started to form groups of things, and beings, with similar interests. We had began to categorise. This went hand-in-hand with self-appraisal, and judgement of each other, and created further separation and still more fear. |
