"Once and Forever"

There are very ancient writings, far older than the epics of Homer about the island of Atlantis. Plate's chronology state that the island of Atlantis did exist and that it perished within "a single dreadful day." This event which destroyed Atlantis is associated with the deluge in Europe and Asia 13,000 years ago.

The greatness of Atlantis and the heights of social harmony achieved by the Atlantians has been attributed by Plate to Atlantis's government which was a society created for the people. The Atlantians doctrine was translated into Latin by Plate and then retranslated into English by Thomas Jefferson. The doctrine states: "that all men are Created Equal and they are Endowed by God with the right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

Atlantis's influence spread in all directions to all coastal regions. At the center of Atlantis was a great city which was its capital, where governmental affairs were conducted. The government was composed of a senate, for the most part Atlantis was a democracy much like the United States is today except Atlantis was in its time the only significant government on earth.

Atlantis was a government of brotherly love; without any wars or internal strife, Atlantis flourished. The Atlantians word for their senate body was Bobalou, which meant "song of the ruler." This name came about because the senators would sing their requests for improvements. The Bobalou believed that God the Creator was in all people, and therefore any citizen could appear and be heard at the Bobalou meetings. Musicians were at a premium in so much as the right back - up harp of flute could mean the difference between the Bobalou voting yes or no, on a particular issue.

The religious speakers were treated with the greatest respect when appearing in front of the Bobalou. The Bobalou believed in God and respected the songs of the men of the word of the Lord. Atlantis faith could be attributed to the fact that the island was created by volcanic eruption. In the early days of Atlantis the volcano was very active and the religious men would predict the eruption and save many lives.

During the last thousand years of Atlantis's existence, the religious men were predicting the complete distruction of the island. An asteriowg,s~ieriictecl to crash into the volcano which was situated in the center of the island. This catastrophe would be intense enough to eradicate Atlantis from the history of man. The religious men were also telling about the coming of a prophet who would save Atlantis from extinction. The prophet was predicted to come before the asteroid. He would use a magic rod to deflect the asteroid from making a direct hit on the volcano.

Atlantis was like a paradise. The Atlantians had a fondness for horse riding. So the horses in Atlantis were treated like the sacred o, of India. The riding of a horse was considered a blessing from God horses were ridden without saddles or bridles. People were thought to achieve the ability to ride a horse through communicating with the horse for permission. A good relationship with a beautiful horse was thought of as the height of worldly treasures. There were two individuals of Atlantis who were gifted with horses. One was a woman who's name was Diana She gained her horse's love one day when the horse was being attacked by a snake. The snake had already made its strike when Diana shot an arrow and hit the snake in the head. This horse was a pure white mare who Diana named Moon. The other person was a man named Philip who rode a great black stallion This stallion was far bigger and more powerful than any other horse on the island. Many people had tried to ride the black stallion. were not able to. This great stallion was called the �Spirit of� Atlantis� and he roamed the island freely. Philip was a flutist and the horse was enchanted by the sound of Pihliip's music.

Philip and Diana rode across the countryside and were legendary throughout the island. They were unique not only because of the special relationships they had with their horses but because they would travel near and far to perform a special show. Diana would place an apple on Philip's head and while he played the flute she would shoot an arrow and split the apple. Some people attributed this stunt 's to Philip ability to control the arrow's direction with his music. Indeed some people said that they had actually seen the arrow veer off its natural course to hit the apple. These performances became the talk of Atlantis.

One day one of the religious men saw Philip. HE suspected that Philip, along with his flute was the prophet destined to save Atlantis. Philip was invited a Bobalou meeting where he would meet Brian Love; the head Love Bobalou. Brian had Philip and Diana perform a show for the senate. The religious men say that Philip's flute scepter is a magic rod. Brian Love ask, Philip if he thought he could change the direction of " a asteroid the way he could change the direction of Diana's arrows. Philip agreed to try if that was what the Bobalou thought might save Atlantis. The religious men say that they have seen the direction of the constellation "Draco� the Dragon. The sign which mean the asteroid was ,, already approaching the Earth. These men of faith proclaimed "if the asteroid makes a direct hit on the island that Would there be no place safe where could the Atlantians go." They state that even if Philip can deflect the asteroid into the sea there would be a tidal wave large enough to destroy the island But most likely the mainland would still be a safe place to where the population could go. In any case the island must be evacuated and the written records of Atlantis and its people would be taken to far away places, the word to prepare the ships to sail. Before Brian

leaving, Brian Love tells the writers of Atlantis �that if Philip is successful in saving the history of Atlantis and the Bobalou rebuilds Atlantis t hat the new country will be known as �Philadelphia" In honor of Philip, who conquered the Dragon, the writers took these word and placed with the doctrine of men being endowed by God to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

They then set sail for the mainland, Hopefully where they would be safe.

On the dockside Philip is taken by the men of faith to where a young lady is bidding farewell to her family. The woman is holding a baby lion, which she gives to an older woman who resembles her. Philip is astonished by how beautiful this young lady is. The men of faith tell Philip that the woman is know as Kitten" They introduce Philip to her and tell him that Kitten is to remain on Atlantis with him. Philip is informed that Kitten and her ancestors have been preparing for this time for hundreds of years and have written a song which if played by Philip will of years. Kitten has songs, hopefully redirect the asteroid over the volcano. If Philip can manage to direct the asteroid to impact into the deep waters, the history of Atlantis will be safe from destruction.As for the island,the men of faith say that they have little hope it will survive

Philip is standing by the dockside saying farewell to his countrymen. Diana is also preparing to leave.Refore she does, Diana tells Philip,"remember you're an Aries, do not let the Dragon's fire stop your music. Ay birth you are a prophet, you can do what needs to be done. For this purpose you were born: Diana boards a ship,on deck is the horse named Moon. Diana begins to feel sick as soon as her feet leave the soil of Atlantis soon she becomes faint. Moon senses something is wrong with Diana and goes into a fury. The horse jumps up and when Moon lands she breaks a leg. Diana manages to being herself to Moon's side.

She can see the painiehe horse's eyesso she rake an arrow out,aims and shoots Moon in the heart. Then Diana passes out in despair.Philip sees that the ship's flag is brought down to half mast Philip realities that Diana is no longer in this world. The dockside is quiet, there is only one ship left which is to take the religious men to safety. They tell Philip to meet them in front of the great pyramid which stands before the volcano. Philip is grieved about Diana'sdeaft~.plays his flute sadly. The great black stallion comes to Philip. Philip touches the nose of the great black and the stallioao go into the hills with the stallioa tells other horses. Kitten is standing behind Philip,and saw how the Stall.ion was hypnotized by the music. The stallion could feel the love in Philip for freedom It was that love which tamed the horse "The horse runs off over the bill top Philip turns to see Kitten her eyes are like stars, tears running down her face touched by the love she has felt and seen. They both walk together to the pyramid.

Kitten and Philip talked about the-power of love which was written in they ,,sav. Altlantis doctrlne~crrar~ all men are Endowed by God with the right to Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." Kitten and Philip say that like the great stallion black ; love is the only ruler they would ever be governed by. Philip realizes that it's Kitten's love for liberty and happiness which will be the song he must play.

When they arrive at the pyramid, they were greeted by the men of faith. They have placed in front of the pyramid a big lavishly adorned Chest. The faithful tell Philip, "he is to play his flute on top of the pyramid at the time when the moon blocks out the sun. They tell Kitten, "she is to get into this magic chest" it would protect her as long as the asteroid did not make a direct hit on the volcano.

Philip looks into the chest and sees a rose,which had been found in one of the streams on the island.This rose was made of gold and was naturaib formed. Kitten asks questions about the chest and the picture on the top, The picture was a man and a women sitting together. In between them was a rod which look much like Philip's flute. The rod was in the right hand of the man and in the left hand of the woman. Philip and Kittene look at each other as they stand side by side. In Philip is a right-handed person. Kitten is a left handed person has her left band near the flute.

The religious men tell about how the chest was made by the couple pictured on it. This man is the founder of the island his name was Aries meaning the first. He was born on the mainland 6,000 years ago. when men knew nothing about love or even friendship. Aries invented the flute and he made the first music. The people heard the sound and followed Aries the way the flock follows the Ram. The following became a village. They lived on the edge of the mainland by the sea. One day Aries was playing his flute by the sea wishing there we'ea land away from the hostile mainland so he and his people could go and live in peace. A woman came over to him to hear him play. She was accompanied by several feline animals which looked like small lions. Aries looked at: her standing in front o f the sea, Aries saw that the lions were protect~in~ her from aggressive men who would try to take her against her will.

Aries admired this women and he named her Kate. Kate along with the help of her lions was the frist independent woman.

Aries admiring her with re~ect, knew that not even he could take the woman without her willingness to let him near. Aries felt in his heart the need to request affection. This request was the first love between man and woman. Aries then saw smoke behind Kate in the horizon. Aries realized that this meant that there was land further out at sea.

Aries led the other inhabitants on a long jo~rney to find a big beautiful island. Tlris island was large and had many types of animals on it: t ~t~re was even a herd of ho ses living on the island. They looked like they were washed over during a storm. The stallion leader of the horse herd aqme when he hear Aries play the flute and soon they become close friends. Kate brought her pet lions to the islan4these lions were the only ones on the island. As time uient on Aries and Kate had this chest made and put in many more carvings~so their love would always be rememberedllWe believe that: the black~r·i,,or and the lion of the island were where the spirit of Aries and Kate have been kept until now. The love Philip felJ~ for Kitten and her for P~;llp are now the spirit of Atla~tis. Philip looks at the great STq~l'brJ who nodd his head,~he lion sitting next To the horse looks at Kitten with its bright eyes. OYour love like Aries and Kate will always be remembered as long as the asteroid does not hit the volcano the religious men,t~en kiss the ground and walk off to their ship.

Kitten and Philip are now alone on the island. They look at the chest and see pictures carved cr\ all S(;leS. One picture is of a woiiian ;r~d a linn,Philip says "7·r is you Kitten,it looks the same as you did when I first saw you." On the other side was a picture of a man tpuching a horse's nose and Kitten say~"this is of you and the great bla ck ~T~ll~o~ " Philip falls deeply in love with Kitten as if it was the love which well be the song he would playeJ, Kitten inturn realizes that Philadephias will be the new Atlbn:is and Philip, takes the p!ace in her heart where Atlantis use to be. The time passed quickly Each night Philip and Kittcn could see the asteroid geting closer.Some nights they can see the image of the 3 Dragon in the sky behind the asteroid. Philip practices playing playing the flute on top of the pprsmid. At first he can bring up a gentle breere and then later a strong wind of hurrican magnitude. Kitten prays to God for Phil to save the workd.

When the moment comes it is like the religioi:s men said it would be the mooncrosses in front of the Sun turning the day time sky dark except for the asteroid which is how as big as the Sun.

Philip and Kitten go to the chest and he hels her inside the lion then jumps into the chest and before Philip colses the chest Kitten gives him thei gold rose. Philip says that the rose was to protect Kitten from harm. Kitten tells Philip that bopefully the rose will protect him. They kiss and then Phil closes the chest, and walks the steps to the top of the pyraniid.

The astroid is coming closer and Philip can notice that it is spinning. He begins playing the flute and the wind start te blow but the asteroid stays on couse just when Philip feels he is going to fail he sees Diana who is standing on top of the moon with her bow. Diana takei an arrow and shoots it into the asteroid. The arrow stops the spin. Now Philip can change the direction and the wind catches the arrow's tail and redirects the asteroid up over the volcano and into the sea, Philip has been sucsessEul, he can see far in the distaace a gigantic tidal wave coming and the land is begining to shake, The great black horse runs to the pyramid and climbs the stairs When the horse reaches the top Philip mounts him soon the tidle wave crosses the island. The wave takes the chest on to its crest and away. The earthquake gets more and more intense and soon the island starts to sink back into the sea. Diana sees philip is doomed and she shoots him in the heart with one the island falls back under of her magic arrows just as The smoke from the molten rock rises the earth's crust into the air and forms the image of Philip with the arrow in his heart sitting on the horser.

" Philadelphia "

The asteroid arrival was visible for many thousands of miles. The smoke cloud which followed the crash and formed the image of Philo on the spirt of Atlantis rose into the sky. The image then drifted until night, when the horses finally speared to fly into the heavens. The Atlantians watched from the mountians throughout the world. Brian love and the other members of the Robalou senate were on a mountian in the norhtern area of the Meditersnean Sea, where they witnessed the event. Brian knows that Philip was s~ccsesfiful in his effort to redirect the ssteroid from mslinp a direct strike on the volc;rno. After realiiing the world was saved the BoSelou set up a secure place to organize r~eir plans to rebuild a new centrializen capital, this time to he called Philsdflphia, which now would mean "the civilization of Cove"

The Arlnntlsnfi hPgfiin a class spstem to help preserve their heritige. This area of the mbin!sn~ uss called P:a~rdonjs and t~e Ro~~lou installed a Kin~. who tFiey nRm~r! Philip.

The reiiRjous leajers ~ho had laoded cl;eir fihips in the Mideastern part of the Meditersneen Sea, decided to build Philedephia in an area which they named Philistia However, the religious men were having problems convincing the Istaelites, who were a group of tribes in this area that the Atlantian doctrine of all men having the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness, was enlightenment. The israelites with the aid of their God were quickly taking control of Pbilistia and found question in Bobalou doctrine being inspirered by their God. Fron further south in the land of Egypt cane yet another landing parties from Atlantis know as the Philistlnses naned so in honor of Philo of Atlantis. The Philistines were willing to use force to convince the ibreelites that Philadephia was destined to be the capital of the world. A war Letu~en the Philistinses and the army of the IEraelites took place in Thilistia The Philistines were not able or willing to conquer the Jewish God. In one battle SAmfion, an Israelite, aided by God, defeated :he whole Philistine arcp single handedly using the jaw bone of an ass as his only weapon. During snother 'sttle in which the Philisti~es and the Isreelites chnse their t~e~t fiRhters, the Isrselitrfi sint a sr:all boy nane0 Dsvid ai?in·t a Riant soldier of the PhiliPtines n~-i·~d C-nlifi~h. -T:-e ~ettle ended with n·,id iilljng t:,e giant with a sto=e thro~n from a sling. ~rom c.ents like thifie the Fhilist;-is lesr~ed to heliese thst the Cnd of t'-e Israeli~es ~ac in-'ird the Gud of all ~-~::hind, 6rrd the i;·;e:lte Kin~s ruled i-'ale~~jne.

The teachers travel to the north to the land now called Syria and told the Philippians about the God of the israelites and power of their circumcision (Philippiens 3). Then the Bobalou sends Philosophers futher north for help from other landing parties.

In the far northern parts of the Eropian sris ships landed hut had know records of events or remenberances of Atlantis. Eccept for the ships which Ca~f- family landed on. These ships landed on the islands in the north which are now call Britian, Ireland, Scotland, ect. In this area the yenple were co~plea:ly sepfrsted from the mainland and sphrec' the har~ships of the rebuildin~ of Philadelphia. They built what is known as Stone EEnee to try and keep in touch with the stars and counted the time which pested.

When the northern people and the Bobslou now called the Philippians got to the Mideast they found the atmosphere difficult to teach the philosophy of love and that all men were endowed by their creator with the unali·c·nsble. rig~hts, to Life, Liberty and the persuit of Happiness. Until such time that the Roman Empire enter the area and subdue the israeli King giving Philadelphia a chance to be built 86 a religious

order.

it was st this time that the Greater of He~ven and Earth intervened in the affairs of nen. To the world was then sent the son of Cod almighty, Jesus Christ. In Philadephia the coming was read in the stars and they sent out three Philosophers called wiseDen to find the child end tell the israeli King Her'od, that love has once again come, and to Earth has come a rule who will govern (Matthew 7). Jesus teaches the people about love and in the grcatefit display shows all people w~at love is and how nu~h God loves mankindd Jesus Sefore returning to heaven revfals to his disciple John the revelatioas of how hnd whar is to come. John and the other disiples vrote letters to the church in Philippi and PhilonepFiia (~eveletion to Johnn 7). These letter6 show the con~ent f~O" the high POWrr Of God to ni3i-o poE6ib~e the reconsCru~tion of the city of Love, Philsdeiphis. HoMever the city vould not Le the old Fhile~ephia.

Jesus as G~d ha~ given his suppO't to t~e huilding of one csn,:)on capi~~l of the world to be called 1FhilanelpF;ja· The New Philadelphia was not built until the discovery of America. it is this New Philadelphia which in the year 1776 a.d. gives new rise to the doctrine of love and men beinR endowed by their creator with ri~hts to life, liberty and the Durfiuit of happiness. The document was now called the Declaration of independence end it was identical to the BoSelou's doctrine. Even the writer, Thomas Jefferson, who was an kries the fire sign had a hand which was blessed Ly God almighty. The world had a new capital which supported the rights to Life, Lihertv end the Pursuit of Happiness. A place where the NorninF Star will shine as once and now forever.
