I am currently in the process of re writing and editing my book, which up until now did not really mention Lemuria, except in passing. I now feel though that I need to include at least a couple of chapters on it, since I under estimated its importance. It was after all the motherland in more ways than one. The name Mu of course means motherland, but it seems that it was also mother to Atlantis, and various other ancient civilisations, which have had a great influence on the world, as these were originally Lemurian colonies.
Having trawled through the web there seems to be a great shortage of books specialising in this area, compared to Atlantis, so I wondered whether anyone on here may have any thoughts or information that may be able to help.

RE: Lemuria - A Quest for Information
That was actually one of the first sites I turned to, as it contains much sacred literature and otherwise on various traditions from all over the world, including at least one of Churchward's books and the full text from the Secret Doctrine - not that I can understand half of that, or have the time to read it! It has though been a useful site, not just for Lemuria, but for a lot of other stuff also.
The book you mention sounds interesting and not one I am familiar with. Can you remember the name or who it was by?

Talisman, here is an interesting site that may have some information.

RE: Lemuria - A Quest for Information
Thanks John, the underwater discoveries section looks particularly interesting.

RE: Lemuria - A Quest for Information
I dont quite remember, but I will be picking up the book soon. As soon as I get it, I will share the secrets, and let you know who it is by, and what its about.
Ah yes, and sacred-texts.com is like the Library of Alexandria to me.
RE: Lemuria - A Quest for Information
I have heard that Lemuria was mentioned in the ancient tablets of Ur. I don't know how true that is.
Love,

Can't say it rings any bells for me Patsy, although you may well be right. Ur was said to be the birthplace of Abraham, and I feel certainthat many of these families were connected with Lemuria.

Some other quick notes -
Yes, "The Secret Doctrine", June, is a hard read! I've now bought it twice but never read it cover to cover by a long shot. However HPB said it wasn't meant to be rad that way. Most think of it as a reference book, to use with the index. I mention it as I reckon the basis of the book(s), the Stanzas of Dzyan, came from Mu/Lemuria.
On Lemuria and Atlantis I think one main thing to bear in mind, if we believe in them (I do) is that neither were one thing or place. Extending over such huge spans of time, there were many different races there, different systems of government, primitive and advanced times. Also it's often said that Mu didn't just have one cataclysm but many and so had periods of breaking up, and each surviving segment would in fact have been a new land, a new people, etc.
Same with Atlantis which is oft said to have gone down long ago, but it was the smaller part, Posied, which survived till 10,500 BC - IMO blocking till then what we now have as the Gulf Stream hence Europe's climate was different till Poseid went.
Boy, when you think how "our" world and civilisations have changed in just 2,000 years, Lemuria is best thought ofmaybe as a land-mass but not as a people as things will have changed so much so often.

Indeed, one can only write the bare bones really,shifting the wheat from the chaff to provide the miniumum of information that people can understand, and take from it what they will. The information has to also provide a reference point for the rest of the book, to help the reader relate to other information that it contains. Hopefully I have achieved this.

RE: Lemuria - A Quest for Information
Yes, it's difficult to know how much we can know about these places. I happen to accept the Phylos books so IMHO they give a great description of Poseid, the late Atlantis. Churchward? I'd have to re-read him, and he as I recall only wrote of very limited aspects of Lemurian science, not of the place itself.
Churchward has an interesting "take" however on what lies beneath or in the Earth's crust - totally different to present geological belief - the thing about huge pockets of magma is it or gasses?
P.S. If anyone HAS read Phylos, he talks about a monastery on the top of The Grand Teton mountain in Wyoming which you could only get to by flying craft ... that it existed in 10,500 BC. A VERY hard climb as the mountain goes straight up. I was there in 1984 and asked the Park Rangers ... they confirmed that there IS the foundation of an ancient building on the top of that mountain. Incredible that no-one wonders about it, how it got there, or it's age. But I take it as support for the Phylos books and that the remains are from Atlantean times.

How many would agree that Lemurains had such an advance science, that they could control things with their minds?
Lets not look at the evidence, for this isn't much. But lets imagine, perhaps it is this vessel(imagination) which they used in their much referenced magick.
RE: Lemuria - A Quest for Information
Definately, the Atanteans did too, or at least some of them, in the early days. I also believe they communicated with telepathy.
