Lost Civilization?

If there is a society, culture, or civilization that is representative of all such "lost civilizations" it is Atlantis! Was it real or just a myth and if so where did the story begin? Bsically Atlantis is the name of a legendary island first mentioned by Plato in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias. Few of Plato's fellow Greeks took his depiction of Atlantis literally. His own chief disciple Aristotle thought he made Atlantis up. Yet Plato's story is so detailed and circumstantial that many readers, even before the modern interest, found it hard to dismiss totally.

In Plato's account, Atlantis, lying "beyond the pillars of Heracles", was a naval power that conquered many parts of Western Europe approximately 9500 BCE. After a failed attempt to invade Athens, Atlantis sank into the ocean "in a single day and night of misfortune".

Grandma Chandra knows the Atlantis stody is true and I believe her.

In their book, the Orion Prophecy, Geryl and Ratinckx peg the exact date that Atlantis sunk below the ocean as July 27, 9792BCE. And their basic premise is because of a uniques alignment of Venus and other planets. Guess what! That same alignment will happen once again December 21, 2012.

What's up with all this 12.21.12 stuff anyway: more Y2k hype?

One might dismiss the whole theory if it were only ther Mayans and their darn-blasted calendar, but as I have mentioned on several occasions, they're not alone in this dastardly date. The Hopi Indians have that date pegged as a bad hair day as well: not to mention the Cherokee Sacred Calendar that ends on Day 4 Flower, December 21, 2012. Did they copy the Hopi and just change some names?

What about the Q'ero Indians of Peru who have marked out 1999 to Dec. 2012 as the "Age of Meeting Ourselves Again", at which time everything ends. Everything?

Maybe it's just a case of what Rupert Sheldrake calls syncronicity and it was happening tens of thousands of years ago long before he came home and his dog knew exactly when that would be. Say what? :-)

If you want to know the rtuh, I think all civilizations today are lost, have lsot their way, and I'm betting that the events leading up to 2012 will give us an opportunity to exponentially have a jump in consciousness much like the Axial Age. We surely need a change in life before life as wse know it changes us and not for the better. We are still co-creators, so let's get about doing our part of life. Whatcha say?
