THE PSYCHOLOGICAL LEGACY OF ATLANTIS
I will mention here three examples of dualistic mindsets that originated in Atlantis, mindsets with which we are still struggling.
- The creation of a ruler class
To begin with, the Earth people internalized the idea of an Atlantean ruling class. This internalization led to the creation of nobility from among themselves, a class of people who had special rights because of their blood and descent. This was a ruling class of people who were special by birth, and often, as with the pharaohs of Egypt, even considered divine. Divine powers were attributed to them from a memory of the third eye power of the Atlanteans.
That nobility, with the royal family as the highest nobility, is still here today. Based on heredity, people are placed above others and called king or queen. The fact that the influence of royalty is diminishing shows that humanity is freeing itself from the psychological consequences of Atlantis. Nevertheless, the hierarchical idea that certain people are better than others runs deep and is still the cause of much injustice and suffering.
Those rulers themselves were often more concerned with expanding their power through wars and self-glorification than improving the well-being of their subjects. Their belief that they were chosen by God to rule over others did not help them.
- Subjugation of nature
Another result of Atlantis is the idea that the Earth is something to be controlled. The Atlanteans never really felt part of the Earth; they knew they had a different origin and identified with that cosmic origin. They looked down on the Earth and believed the Earth and nature had to be controlled. And in doing so, they created a growing tension with nature that would eventually come to a fateful eruption and cause the demise of Atlantis.
In our time, this belief has led to an alienation of man from nature. In striving to imitate the Atlanteans, the Earth people forgot what they had been given: a deep bond with the Earth and all its living beings. This also explains the sometimes-bizarre contradictions of modern man. People can love their pets dearly and still eat meat from the meat industry in which animals are horribly abused. People spend so much of their energy on appeasing their boss and not on their children and family. All around us we see clashes between old energetic patterns originating from Atlantis and the natural energies of Earth people.
- Hierarchical Spirituality and the False Unity Consciousness
Closely related to this, and of great importance, is the fact that Earth people, following the Atlanteans, established a hierarchical form of spirituality. Because the Atlantean souls strongly identified with their cosmic origins, their experience of spirituality was strongly oriented toward the cosmos, the otherworldly. The Earth itself, terrestrial nature, was considered lesser. So, they essentially introduced a dualistic spirituality.
We live with this legacy today. Most spiritual teachings from both East and West condemn the earthly, the sensuous, the physical and sexuality. You are supposed to transcend these and focus on “the sublime”, the otherworldly; the terrestrial is the lower, the mundane. That is essentially Atlantean consciousness, which is aimed at the cosmos. It is aimed at subduing the Earth and it also proclaims the idea of an upper class who will teach “the people” about it.
This hierarchical spirituality often promotes a false idea of unity. Examples of this are:
- There is one God, but there is also the devil.
- There is a heaven, but there is also a hell.
- Everything is one, but your ego, your personality is not part of it.
- We are all one, but some are more “one” than others, and some do not belong to that oneness at all.
- Everything is one, but the Earth is not part of it and life on Earth keeps us away from that unity.
- Everything is one, but we must let go of the outer world; it is not a part of it.
It is very simple: when everything is one, everything belongs to that unity. Personality, ego, play, money, illusions, sexuality, Earth, inner, outer, time and space – everything that has a name belongs to that oneness and may be seen and loved and has meaning. Resisting something, denying something, always leads to duality, and the belief in duality leads to psychic tension and to inner and outer conflicts.
