This weekend, my husband and I went camping by Lake Livingston, and we stumbled on this hole-in-the-wall diner called “Florida’s Diner.” I mean it was on some out of nowhere rural farm road with nothing by a church (Hey, it’s the South. We got us some churches.) nearby. The food was delicious. Cheeseburgers like they used to make in those fountain dives. Rib sandwiches. Chicken fried steak. Brisket club sandwiches and more. I bought a GoPro with the intention of filming some stuff for the blog, and I think I’d like to include little vignettes from the life of a Medhus. I would have liked to have included that little expedition. I’m not sure if my vlogging will be of much interest to you guys. My life seems pretty boring. Usually. Okay. Part Two with Mr. Atlantis.
Atlantean: But every human being on this planet has varying degrees of Atlantean in their lineage.
Robert: He also says your mother’s father had a lot of Atlantean DNA.
Me: Interesting. He was very tall and thin. His face was thin, and he had high cheekbones.
Atlantean: To help you further understand us as Atlanteans, I want you to know that we were known as teachers. A teacher is a purveyor of imagination, after all.
Me: So what happened to the actual location of your civilization? Well, first of all, was it an island or a continent?
Atlantean: It was an island. A large island.
Me: So what happened to it?
Atlantean: It turned to dust.
Me: Whoa!
Atlantean: I don’t mean that literally. It didn’t just evaporate one day.
Me: Okay.
(Long pause)
Robert: He’s showing me all these visuals. I see a lot of weather changes, all these clouds swirling over it, so some of that happened.
Me: So there was some bad weather?
Atlantean: It was not just one thing. There were other things.
Me: Okay, so weather. What else?
Robert: He shows me the land itself breaking apart.
Atlantean: I’m going to speak in terms that the humans of today will understand.
Me: Yes, please do.
Atlantean: Underneath Atlantis, there was a lot of what you’d call fault lines. Disturbances in them made the land literally fall apart. Above the island, there was all of this bad weather that helped break the land down further.
Robert: It seems to me that what this individual was saying is that it was like the Earth consumed it.
Me: Oh my god. So were people screaming, and was their all this death and horror and pain and all that kind of stuff?
I love making Atlanteans feel uncomfortable. Not that I’ve ever done it before, but how many people ever get the chance?
Atlantean: No. No.
Me: So people knew what was going on and accepted their death?
Atlantean: No one fought. As I said before, a great many of us shed our fear, and those who did comforted the ones who were afraid. They soothed them.
Robert: Technologically, he hasn’t really shown me anything like the stuff you’d see today, but there was some kind of technology that we, as human beings, would think, “That’s just crazy!” There were things they developed—mechanical type tools—which you might easily find today. Then they also had stuff they could use, like they had the ability to control energy.
Me: Wow.
Robert: Not like nuclear energy or solar energy. I’m talking about the energy from their bodies. Some of them could do that.
Atlantean: The people who were chosen to spread throughout the planet and help cultivate humanity into what it is today and send it on a new path of evolution were picked for what they had and what they did not have. What you know as “mediums’ today or those who are healers come from Atlanteans who had those abilities innately.
Me: Oh, okay.
Atlantean: That’s why these gifts tend to run in families. It’s in the DNA. As humans become more and more intertwined with each other, that gets dispersed throughout the population. That’s one example of the type of Atlantean that might be chosen. The ones who didn’t stay left by wooden boats and rafts. We chose that rather than something more advanced so it would make sense to the cultures we were going to encounter and assimilate with. We didn’t want those cultures to evolve too quickly. That could have caused us to become extinct. We had to keep a lot of the more advanced technology on the island.
Me: Where did they go?
Robert: Everywhere. I saw people leaving from all sides of the island in all directions.
Me: So they made it to different lands?
Atlantean: Some of them did.
Me: Where was your island located, geographically?
Robert finds out after our session that the Atlantean was describing two landmasses: Atlantis and Lemuria.
(Long pause)
Robert: Gosh, I’m trying to figure out where that is. He’s showing me images.
Me: Just name a country or a continent it’s next to.
Robert: The closest thing that I’m getting is Italy, but it’s not like that little body of water behind it. I need to pull up a map.
Me: Is it in front of the shin of Italy’s boot?
Robert: No. What’s that ocean that’s—
Me: And it’s not behind the boot. Hm.
Robert: Okay. Let me see. I’m pulling up a map, and as soon as I see it, I’ll know.
Me: Sure.
Atlantean: Earth looked a lot like that in that area even when we were around.
(Pause)
Robert: Well, that’s not Italy! Oh, I see what he’s showing me. Italy is like the pointer, like a pointer on a compass. If you follow the direction it’s pointing, it goes down past Africa, kind of curls around. So what is this ocean? I don’t know what this ocean is. I’m looking for a map that has labels for the oceans so I can tell you what it is.
Me: Okay.
(Pause)
Robert: Oh, okay! So, the Indian Ocean.
Me: Oh, so it was in the Indian Ocean. That’s so weird because a lot of people think it was around America. At least I think so. Well, that’s interesting. Did where you ended up on your rafts influence surrounding cultures and civilizations like Mesopotamia, etc.?
Robert (persistent in pinning down the location): So, if you’re looking at the Indian Ocean, it’s way at the bottom, so it’s not technically in the Indian Ocean. It’s like the cusp of that ocean where it meets with another ocean. You know how when you look at map of the oceans, one kind of melds into the other?
Me: Yeah. Give me land references like continents. Is it to the west of Australia? Is it that far down?
Robert: I mean, it’s way down there. It’s almost like it borders on—
Me: Antarctica?
Robert: I wish I were better at my geography!
Me: Me, too! It is closer to Antarctica?
Atlantean: Antarctica was the one landmass in that area that was different then than it is today.
Me: Well what landmass were you closest to?
Damn, it’s like pulling eyeteeth!
Robert: It’s right off of Africa, to the right of it, but further down, and it’s stretched. He’s showing me this whole thing. Part of it’s in the Indian Ocean, and then it curls around to the top of the world where the Arctic Ocean would be up with Alaska.
Me: What? It’s that big?
Robert: It’s gigantic!
Me: Wow!
Robert: I would think of that as a whole nuther continent!
Me: Oh my god! I guess it was. What did it look like? What did your environment look like?
Robert: The way I said it was kind of a misrepresentation because if you look at the map, it looks like it’s right at the tip, but then it curls around to the other side, so it’s not like it’s taking up this huge amount of the world. I’m not good with describing this particular thing.
Me: That’s fine. I get the idea.
Robert: You could say that it’s—I don’t know if it’s accurate to say that it was partially in the Indian Ocean and part of it in the Arctic Ocean curled around the globe. I can see it so clearly in my head, but I can’t get it out!
