The itineraries of Greek heroes
such as Hercules, Jason, Ulysses and the Argonauts are all absurd when
placed in the Mediterranean or even in the Atlantic Ocean. But they all
make a lot of geographical and mythical sense if we place them in the Indian
Ocean, as we should. And that is indeed what we do, in other more specialized
works of ours on this fascinating subject.
 Likewise, the Titan Atlas and his mountain,
Mt. Atlas, were placed just about everywhere, from Hesperia (Spain), the
Canaries and Morroco to the Bosphorus and the Far Orient, at the confines
of Hades (Hell). The result was a profusion of Atlantises and of Pillars
of Atlas (or of Hercules) that makes no sense al all. Indeed, the two heroes
who personified the World s Pillars represented the two Atlantises we discussed
further above. They are personified as Atlas and Hercules, the primeval
Twins whom we encounter in all Cosmogonies.
In Plato s dialogues concerning Atlantis
(the
Critias and the
Timaeus), Hercules is called Gadeiros
or Eumelos, names that correspond to something like "Cowboy" or, rather
"Fencer of Cattle". This name is a literal translation of that of
Setubandha,
the Sanskrit appellation of Indonesia. This name is due to the fact that
Indonesia indeed "fences out" the seas, dividing the Pacific from the Indian
Ocean.
The Ultima Thule, the Twins, and
the War of Doomsday
Indonesia was, as we said above, the Ultima
Thule (or "Ultimate Boundary") of the ancients, the last frontier
which should not be crossed by the navigants. There lay the Pillars of
Hercules and of Atlas, the two primordial Twins. In another guise, the
two correspond to the twins of Gemini (Castor and Pollux), directly derived
from the Ashvin Twins of the Hindus. In Egypt they corresponded to Seth
and Osiris, and were commemorated by the two obelisks posted at the entrance
of Egyptian temples.
Hercules is, of course, a Phoenician deity
(Baal Melkart), in turn derived from Bala or Bala-Rama ("the Strong Rama"),
the twin brother of Krishna.
Bala means "Strong" or "Strength" in
Sanskrit, being called the same (Bias = "Strength") in Greek and
other tongues. Krishna is the World s Pillar, clearly the personification
of Atlantis.
More exactly, the Twins personify the two races of blondes
(Aryo-Semites) and brunets or "reds" (Dravidas), fated to fight wherever
they meet. Both shades are originally from Eden (Lemuria), the primordial
Paradise where humanity originally arose. Osiris, the Egyptian god, also played the role of Cosmic Pillar (Djed), a role he shared with Seth, his twin and dual. But this mythical symbolism ultimately derives from that of Shiva as the
Sthanu, the "Pillar of the World" and that of Shesha (or Vritra), the Cosmic Serpent who was the archetype of Seth-Typhon.
The Battle of the Sons of Light and
the Sons of Darkness
The Twins like the
Devas and
Asuras
of the Hindus and the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness of the Essenians
are always the personifications of the two races that dispute world hegemony
since the dawn of times. It was their war, according to Plato who calls
them "Greeks" and Atlanteans that led to the destruction of Atlantis.
There is no reason to doubt that the great
philosopher was indeed transmitting ancient traditions faithfully. For,
we are starting to learn all over again that global wars can indeed lead
to the world s end. In fact, it is the same endless war that menaces us
now as it did at the dawn of times. This frightening reality is told in
the
Ramayana, in the
Mahabharata and in the
Iliad,
not to mention the other myths and traditions.
But the war of Atlantis is also the War
of Armageddon narrated in the
Book of Revelation. This war is in reality
a repetition or replica of the worldwide, primordial battle between Gods
and Devils. These mighty beings were the same as the so-called Titans (or
Giants) in Greece. Their war was, as Plato and his commentators explain
in detail, the same as the one of Atlantis.
Armageddon means (in Hebrew)
the same as Shambhalla (in Sanskrit), "the Plains of Gathering". There
the armies of the world will gather, in the end of times, for "the war
that is to end all wars", for it will close the Kali Yuga. The perspective indeed
seems frighteningly real, doens t it indeed? Fables or Reality? Religion
or Profanity? Science or Superstitious Nonsense? We are inclined to believe that our ancestors spoke in earnest, and that the war of Armaggedon and the end of the world are fast becoming all too real possibilities.
Are Mars and Venus a Celestial Example?
We do not want to seem alarmists, as our
message is indeed one of hope and salvation, and not of "Bible thumping".
The recent discovery of vestiges of extinct life in Mars brings a memorable
lesson that is worth detailing. Earth has been, in the past, the victim
of countless catastrophes that nearly wiped out Life altogether. These
cataclysms were due to different causes such as cometary and asteroidal
falls or volcanic cataclysms bringing on or off the Ice Ages. Not impossibly,
wars such as the War of Atlantis and the Battle of the Gods can have indeed
happened in a far, utterly forgotten past that lives on in our myths and
holy traditions from everywhere.
Perhaps our wars just continue these and
others that possibly took place on Mars and Venus, destroying Life there,
if not in other Solar Systems as well.
