Just a thought along this line. In light of our growing awareness of the threat posed by meteor and comet
strikes on Earth, could this historical mistique be memory of past strikes? A book that I read a few years
ago discussed the evidence for a meteor strike as the cause of the loss of Atlantis and many other historical
events. The book is 'The Secret of Atlantis Revealed' by Otto Muck. The book is very professionally put
together, fully noted, etc. I only recently discovered that Otto Muck was the number two German rocket
scientist under Goddard during WW II. I have not been able to turn up another copy of this book. Any info
would be appreciated. Muck discovered a major meteor strike over Charleston, SC while studying high altitude
spy photos of America's east coast before the war. Otto's studies determined that the strike occured about
10,000 years ago, passing over and showering Charleston with fragments before shattering the Atlantic seabed.
The force was calculated to be enough to ripple the crustle plates and cause the Atlantic to spread in turn
causing a subsidence of the ocean bottom of about 10,000 feet. Muck suggests that Atlantis was what we now
call the Azores. A submerged plateau exists at the 10,000 foot level of the proper size to be Atlantis. Linked
to this also is the Deluge of the Bible. Allowing for error in time passage recording of oral tradition
cultures and calculations of the meteor strike puts the two events in very close proximity to each other. Also
suggested as a result of the meteor was a reason for the ending of the last Ice age. The timing is close
enough that reasonable error range could make them simultanious.
It would be interesting to see a modern study of this subject. Find more links, Study the crater's location in
depth, calculate effects of this proposed crustal shift around the world and try to find physical evidence,
Study of the Azores' Plateau for artifacts. Could be a lot of fun. Maybe the Bermuda Triangle is a result of
the impact crater. Charleston's earthquakes follow the pattern made be approx. 2000 small impacts as the earth
releaves the strain. Strange sand and gasses were spit up during their last quake about 1900. What might be
happening out in the ocean where the main meteor body is located?
An event of this magnitude during mankind's history would definately put a fear of the Gods and objects in the
sky in to any survivor's mind forever.
Enough for now. Anybody who knows where I can get another copy of this book please let me know. Thanks.
Strider.

Edmond, That last quote of a quote of a quote started to lose me. I hope
you didn't think I was attacking you. I am one among a group of
so-called "Techno-Pagans". My belief is that all things have an answer
that can be linked back to other things that we commonly understand.
Giant leaps of faith and completely mystical explanations without
connecting links cry out for study and understanding. I do not in the
slightest pretend that 'we' have the answers for all the mysterys of
this universe but that doesn't preclude their existence. From what I
understand of the Atlantean story none of the information is first hand,
i.e. artifacts, recognizable ruins, etc. We are left with many rumors. A
good place to start studying but not what you make your conclusions
from. I heard something regarding the crystal skull a year or two ago
saying it was a hoax. Sorry but I don't recall the details. The skull
obviously took skill to make but it is not impossible to do. We are so
atuned to a mechanized society that we have forgotten the skill of our
own hands. Practice, patience, and persistence can creat miracles.

Yours in the wonder of the world. Tim

Yes and the extiction of the dinosaurs as well-meteoric bombardment.

Yes most of our space program was launched by these German scientists.

I have not heard of it but it sounds interesting. According to Edgar
Cayce it was techtonics that caused the demise of Atlantis.

Yes this has been verifyed to some degree by sediments found in caves in
the area.

According to some private sources I know of the misuse of crystal
focusing in Atlantis created a disharmonic alteration that had the effect
of which you speak-hence the effects in the Bermuda triangle on aviation
equipment.

Yes mythology is usually based in some actual event and transferred this
way to carry instructional elements. If you will notice next time you go
to a museum, observe the astounding similarities to Mayan and Egyptian
artifacts. These are remnants of Atlantis culture also the crystal skull
found in Luubaantum (I believe that is the spelling).

Well it is my opinion that the dark body counterpart star proposed by
some astronomers of our sun is responsible for these periods and that
they regularly come. When this body enters the solar system it would
peturb much cometary and other material in the Oort cloud at the edge of
our solar system and drag it along as it entered. This is how Jupiter has
gotten so big, because it keeps collecting this debri as it is in the
orbital path of this dark body. This is also the way I believe that
Uranus magnetic poles were shifted.

Well it is pretty well known that the gulf of Mexico is one.

Exactly! That is how mythology gets started.

Thanks for your sharing very interesting isn't it? I believe we have had
major civilizations on this planet for millions of years. Have you ever
heard of a metal geode that was obviously constructed that dates to over
a million years in age? I have seen some things on this but was looking
for more info on it.

Millions of years? You mean that Lucy and her friends constructed
civilizations, and on top of that, civilizations found only by fringe groups?
You know, some mighty queer things are bound to happen by chance, and just a
geode is not enough to back up a claim of ancient civilizations. If you find a
geode together with organic waste, ceramic shards, bones with cutting marks
and whatnot, you might begin to consider a civilization...

Ahh yes, another objective observer who somehow cannot read. please
identitfy where the discussion of INCARNATING from Atlantis was
discussed. Is your life so meaningless that you must make up and attach
issues to postings that never had that issue just to feel important?

Ahh, Mr. Objective speaks again. Please identify where I proclaimed the
SIZE of this body-or that it caused shifts in Pluto's orbit. You are not
seriously thinking you are being logically argumentative are you? Better
to keep one's mouth shut and be thought a fool, rather than open it and
remove all doubt.

Well any student of astronomy (which I also am) would agree that Jupiters
size and placement is pretty generally thought to be the effect of
collecting cometary material. Did you not see Schumaker/Levi comet
collide with it? It was on all the television stations-what planet were
you on when this occurred? I would say that that "actually" happened.

Boy you are gullible. Lucy is a hominid that is still under much scrutiny
as to what it is exactly "she" is. And dating keeps moving around all the
time. It has been revised upwards to more like 5 million and there are
differing opinions on the whole matter. That also does not mean that
hominids were not existing at the same time as modern humans either.
Remember (if you actually know of what you speak-which I doubt)
Neaderthals were thought to exist separately and are now know to have
co-existed with modern man. Please avail yourself of current thinking at
your nearest library.

It was what was in it that was astounding-and it wasn't any "bone
cutting" tool. It must be great to be so sure of things -or is that a
sign of your ignorance? History has proven my perspective more logical
than yours. But then I don't have any dogma to protect.

Mathias, you must not challenge Ed's amusing theories. He's sure to barrage you
with a load of insults, including but not limited to how your basic insecurity
and unfilled need for recognition from your childhood causes you to ... (snip
psychobabble nonsense) or state that you are "autistic", and then promptly killfile
you.

It's his standard defensive response.

By the way Paul or anyone else -- the "dark body" mentioned above by Ed is I
presume the same one he was referring to in an earlier post ("Eons ago, the
dark body Nemesis passed through the solar system and ..." or something similar
-- I think the post was called "Uranus and Projection").He wrote about it having
a near-miss with Uranus or something as I recall (sorry if I am off on the details)
which shifted its axis.

Is there any scientific evidence that such a "dark body" (is that a real term
in astronomy? I've heard of dark matter, but not dark bodies) does pass through
the solar system, etc?

Well - I was a janitoress and a lowly midwife assistant in Atlantis.

I suppose that cleaning all those latrines is the reason that I'm a goddess now.
Y'know... Deposits in the karma bank, and all? Paybacks? But wouldn't ya
know that I'd get reincarnated as a goddess (finally) in a time where goddi
are no longer revered?

Uh.. hold it. I was also the Keeper of the Emphatic in Atlantis, and your
emphatic is incorrect here. The correct emphatic would be: "THIS is how
Jupiter.. etc???" Otherwise you're just too burlesque. See the diff?

Ah, le bon chance! Vive l'chance! (I'd argue about the cutting marks on
bones, though. Too often gnaw marks are mistaken for actual cuts. And the
ceramic shards aren't always required. But you simply cannot consider a
civilization without the 'whatnot'.)

It definitely will be a diminution to the ego of this civilization when
it discovers the remains of its' past, where it never learned this
lesson (about domination), in the red ruins of the ancient "God of War",
Mars.

This is how aliens travel by linking their mind to the craft.To space
travel you must time travel, as they are both "aspects" of 3D
physicality.

Yes, and the domination and extinction of the neaderthals is the result
of this "fall" into domination. The US is the reincarnation collectively
of the Atlantean idea-hence the race issues. The pyramid with the eye at
the apex is listed on our own currency!

This is all very interesting. I've read a few spirit channeling books
which say very similar things about Atlantis and past civilisations.
According to these channnelers there have been many civilizations
throughout the history of this planet and 1 or 2 other planets in our
solar system.

The Atlantians were fully conscious beings that had a very advanced


civilization. It was much unlike our own however. They did not need
electricity or electronics etc. Apparently a group of them could travel
in a vehicle large distances by using their combined mind power.

Unfortunately, they got a bit power hungry and started playing around


with things that they should have left alone. eg. DNA manipulation among
others. Apparently we now are the result of these manipulations in that
they reduced the number of DNA strands (or something) and reduced our
ability to obtain full spiritual consciousness. Something to do with
keeping others in the dark to give themselves more power. This is also
how the so called Greek (and other) Gods found there way into
mythology. They were just ordinary Atlantians that were fully
conscious and therefore, in the eyes of the peasants, had God like
abilities.

This only scrapes the surface of the history of the earth.


Evidence is out there somewhere.

course, is an Atlantean princess whose submarine (!) was attacked by a giant squid. She steals his boat
(ungrateful wretch) to go home to Papa, he follows, and her submarine catches up to them. In Atlantis, after
various heroic challenges, he uncovers the nefarious plot by the high priest to use...aha...giant crystals to
defeat the rest of the world and make Atlantis supreme. Of course, the crystals are too powerful to control,
being much bigger than the ones used for 'normal energy' use in Atlantis, and our hero and heroine, turn them
on Atlantis itself--which thereupon sinks into the sea and all of its survivors go to the four corners of the
world.

Isn't it amazing how so many of the 'newage' ideas and past life delusions resemble Hollywood at its' campiest

cattle--or sheep.

Since this was posted to new age newsgroups, and you answered, what was
it that you would like to discuss about this idea?-or is this your debate
material here- because if it is your in trouble. If you are addressing me
directly I suggest your attack be head on.

Please explain. No one was even discussing reincarnation of Atlanteans at
at all but it seems the two of you were poised and ready to present
sarcasm with no facts. Which new age ideas are you talking about?, and
what facts do you have or coherent arguments to present so that I can
understand your disgust for something you obviously haven't thought twice
about. Please explain the construction methods of the crystal skull
(Mitchell-Hedges discovery in 27) and how this item was created. It
cannot be replicated with todays technology and is well over 3000 years
old.

You cannot reincarnate to a lower level (at least in my understanding of
the scheme)animals are in a group consciousness.It seems that you came
back to meet me-well here I am-engage.

Best I can tell others interrupted our interesting conversation and
started trying to run down Atlantis. Go back and see if I am correct or
not. I believe we were generally in agreement and talking about meteoric
bombardment and the like. I am lost as well and will refrain from
answering because I don't want to promote fallaciousness. This is what
happens when naysayers just wish to jump in to put there 2 cents which is
usually the extent of the contribution.

I know that it sucks up comets now. But it must have started out pretty big to
begin to draw in enough comets to build some significant mass. The moon has
had it's share of comets without such a radical growth. (And theories on the
gaseous giants are pretty divergent. I can dig in a few weeks when I get back

Ah, so if Neanderthals (with archeological evidence to support it) existed at
the same time as Homo Sapiens then Lucy did too? (Without archeological
evidence to support it.) The hominids were the highest evolved (if you see
humans as the peak) around at that time, according to archeological finds. But

I don't mind cleaning maids myself. Helpful critters. :) But I have met my
share of newagers who are reincarnated High Priestesses. (Throws a bit of
suspicion on their intervening lives, but still...) Unless offcourse the
cleaning maids were the upper casts, and High Priestesses were 13 to a dozen
in Atlantis. That would explain it all... ;)

Ah, so if Neanderthals (with archeological evidence to support it) existed
at
the same time as Homo Sapiens then Lucy did too? (Without archeological
evidence to support it.)

Where's Lucy's skull? Isn't that a pretty important piece? There is just a
sprinkling of bones that archeaologists have and there's a whole theory
constructed on that, so you are walking on thin ice talking about
evidence.


The hominids were the highest evolved (if you see
humans as the peak) around at that time, according to archeological finds.

Correction-based on the theories of the most forceful and influencial
proponents ABOUT the finds-which are very minimal.

But
if you want to invent a new race based on one single piece of metal, be my

guest.

Why not archeaologists, Egyptologists-and many other disciplines do it all
the time. But thats not what I said anyway, I was speculating on the
possibility of existance being older than proposed by these "proponents".

>It was what was in it that was astounding-and it wasn't any "bone
>cutting" tool.

So, state what it was, and how you can be certain that there was a whole
civilization around to produce one queer artefact.

Nor is it intelligent to build one's whole of the mental agility and
substance around the opinions of a few hardheads with very few facts or
evidence-but you seem to be content with that.

>It must be great to be so sure of things -or is that a
>sign of your ignorance?

My ignorance of what? The total truth of D niken?

Your obvious ignorance-of the "truth" of anything. Who said anything about
Daniken? This demonstrates that you have no current knowledge of physics
or metaphysics. You are a cynic, who substitutes straw men and subjects to
replace the actual content of a discussion you weren't even involved in,
because you cannot add anything of substance either in support or
detraction - therefore you'll get no answers and be killfiled. If you were
capable of presenting arguments without bringing irrelevance in, in order
to gain some "coloring" advantage, I may have continued.

>History has proven my perspective more logical
>than yours.

What is your perspective? That science is not always right, then you can
make
up any theory you want?

This is an "argumentum ad ignorantium" fallacy (appeal to ignorance) in
which you commit it in an attempt to create the straw man which you would
then attempt knock down. This can also be found in your library when you
go back, its called logic. I know more about science than you do about
metaphysics, therefore you teach best what you need to learn.

>But then I don't have any dogma to protect.

Sure sounds like you do.

Who would feel more secure, a person clinging by their fingernails on the
side of a 10,000ft cliff, or a person stable, comfortable and relaxing in

Edmond Wollmann

Begin standard cynic response;
Cynics will not "believe" things regardless of "factors" because it is a
matter of belief. It would therefore be foolish to chase the obviously
futile and speculative arguments with skeptical minds. Analytical
discernment begs for efficiency. I therefore respectfully beg to differ
and offer sincere success in your future search for truths. There is no
one truth EXCEPT that THE truth is the composition of all truths. Absence
of evidence is not evidence of absence-it may be a difference in root
assumptions.

My particular "Universes of inquiry" are psychology and astrology, I
respect all inquiry and the paradigms that articulate them.
Paradigms form from sets of beliefs and assumptions. To clarify the idea
of
paradigms here is a quote from experimentation in abnormal psychology
taken from Thomas Kuhn's veiw, author of the widely acknowledged "The
Structure Of Scientific Revolutions";
"We believe every effort should be made to study abnormal behavior
according to scientific principles. It should be clear at this point
however, that science is NOT a completely objective and certain
enterprise. Rather, as we can infer by the comment from Kuhn, subjective
factors, as well as limitations in our perspective on the universe, enter
into the conduct of scientific enquiry. Central to any application of
scientific principles, in Kuhn's veiw, is the concept of a paradigm, a
conceptual framework or approach within which a scientist works. A
paradigm according to Kuhn, is a set of basic assumptions that outline
the PARTICULAR UNIVERSE OF SCIENTIFIC ENQUIRY..." (my emphasis) University

I'm afraid I have to agree with Dan. My "Dictionary of Word Origins"
(which does take into account Sanskrit origins as well), says:

"Greek théraps denoted an attendant. From it was derived the verb
therapeuein, attend, administer treatment to--which itself produced two
further derivatives : therapeia "treatment" which gave English
therapy..."

I'm sure Achillles Sulking can back Dan and me up on this one. Achilles:

From Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary:

Meaning, therapy is from neo-latin, descended from the greek,

And "assure's" "origin" is "ass-you-are". Etymology is something
quite different from breaking words up to make smaller words.
(Try "therap-", Anatolian prefix meaning attendant.)

The origin cited seems very clear and correct for me. I am in therapy and
it does involve a great deal of healing. I would not be able to go
outside if I had not healed a great deal. Truly....


Be well....

Paul, what joy do you get from posting such bullshit?

Therapy, from the latin therapia, "healing."
and
Therapeutic, from the latin therapeuticus, "to attend, to treat medically."

Thira's not underwater and the small island is better known as
Santorini. There's an ongoing excavation of a large Minoan city--
so large that it's estimated that it will take 100 years to complete--
so far they've 20 years under their belt. Given that Santorini is
a sliver of a large island that blew up, who knows what other cities
there might have been on the original island that were completely
destroyed. Certainly, the one on Santorini's quite sophisticated.

I must admit it is quite a strange experience for me to just post an
observation to Alt. Astrology to find out a few days later that other people
react to it and crosspost it to many other newsgroups and to find all kinds of
crazy comments in my email... I don't understand either why this happens.

For some cross posting is a toy they have just discovered and they
want to play. Others think that what they have to say is very
important and they seek a wider audience.

For those who still believe in netiquette there are three simple
rules:
- don't post off-topic
- don't spam
- don't crosspost, and when you do restrict the number of groups.

Unfortunately many newbies try to invent the wheel over and over
again. Others just don't care or refuse to understand.

is he really deriving old greek from sanskrit? I thought that the two
were more divergent from the PIE stem for that to be valid. still,
interesting.

more critically, is he actually deriving a greek word in common
ancient use from a particular historical buddhist abbot? I find that
to be unlikely on the face of it.

Dear Josh,

maybe, maybe not.
Apart from all the literalness or truth of this, the reminder of therapists
being disciples of an abbot, brings in the idea of therapists being servants
or disciples of God, or an ultimate Source, which is why I liked the
comparison, though I realize most people won't see it this way.
Another post mentioned therapist meaning just simply "healer" from Greek.
But what is the fundamental Source of Healing? It is love and compassion, and
who owns those? Where does it come from?
Anyway, according to the source quoted, (the book in German is called "Steh
Auf und sei Frei" ) this derivation of the word therapist came to Swami
Vivekananda in a lucid dream when he was aboard a ship near the isle of Crete,
Greece, early january 1897.
