‘The ancient continent of Lemuria holds many keys to our present and future stages of evolution. Through an understanding of its deeper aspects we can unlock its mysteries, and indeed some of the mysteries of world evolutionary processes.’ – From the Foreword
Basing her work on the research of Rudolf Steiner and occult writers such as William Scott-Elliot and Helena Blavatsky, Angela Lord conjures up powerful images of the lost landmass of Lemuria, interspersing her text with colour paintings, maps and drawings. She demonstrates how, by delving into our distant primeval past, we can discover events that brought about remarkable changes in the course of world evolution and human consciousness.
Beginning with a survey of Earth evolution and its early geological phases, she relates Lemuria to the mystery of the Fall from Paradise, the loss of clairvoyance and the advent of human reproduction. ‘With the descent of the spirit-self, earthly desire and egotistic love entered humanity, and in the figure of Adam we recognize humanity of the Lemurian epoch in its progress towards human existence in earthly corporeality.’ Lord describes how, through the help and influence of diverse spiritual entities, the human being became balanced and upright and was able to develop physical senses. She discusses the origins of religion, the question of time, and the relevance of the legend of Isis and Osiris in this striking overview. The book also contains diagrammatic evolutionary charts by John Waterman and W. Scott-Elliot.
