Atlantis. Edgar Cayce
sin entered, so in the last Adam all shall be made alive?”
(A) Adam’s entry into the world in the beginning, then, must become the savior of the world, as it was committed to his care, “be thou fruitful, multiply, and subdue the earth!” Hence Amilius, Adam, the first Adam, the last Adam, becomes—then—that that is given the power over the earth, and—as in each soul the first to be conquered is self—then all things, conditions and elements, are subject unto that self! That a universal law, as may be seen in that as may be demonstrated either in gases that destroy one another by becoming elements of the same, or that in the mineral or the animal kingdom as may be found that destroy, or become one with the other. Hence, as Adam given—the Son of God—so he must become that that would be able to take the world, the earth, back to that source from which it came, and all power is given in his keeping in the earth, that he has overcome; self, death, hell and the grave even, become subservient unto him through the conquering of self in that made flesh; for, as in the beginning was the word, the Word was with God, the Word was God, the same was in the beginning. The Word came and dwelt among men, the offspring of self in a material world, and the Word overcame the world—and hence the world becomes, then, as the servant of that that overcame the world!
(Q) Please give the important re-incarnations of Adam in the world’s history.
(A) In the beginning as Amilius, as Adam, as Melchizedek, as Zend [?], as Ur [?] [Enoch? GD’s note: Perhaps Ur was prehistory person [364-9, Par. 3-A] who established Ur of the Chaldees? I don’t think he was mentioned anywhere else in the readings as an incarnation of Jesus.], as Asaph [?] [Songs of Asaph? See Ps. 81:5 indicating that Joseph and Asaph were one and the same?], as Jesus [Jeshua]—Joseph—Jesus. [See 364-9, Par. 3-A.]
Then, as that coming into the world in the second coming—for He will come again and receive His own, who have prepared themselves through that belief in Him and acting in that manner; for the spirit is abroad, and the time draws near, and there will be the reckoning of those even as in the first so in the last, and the last shall be first; for there is that Spirit abroad—He standeth near. He that hath eyes to see, let him see. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear that music of the coming of the Lord of this vineyard, and art thou ready to give account of that thou hast done with thine opportunity in the earth as the Sons of God, as the heirs and joint heirs of glory with the Son? Then make thine paths straight, for there must come an answering for that thou hast done with thine Lord! He will not tarry, for having overcome He shall appear even as the Lord and Master. Not as one born, but as one that returneth to His own, for He will walk and talk with men of every clime, and those that are faithful and just in their reckoning shall be caught up with Him to rule and to do judgement for a thousand years!
(Q) Describe some of the mental abilities that were developed by the Atlanteans at the time of their greatest spiritual development.
(A) Impossible to describe achievements physical in their spiritual development. The use of material conditions and spiritual attributes in a material world would, and do, become that as are the miracles of the Son in the material world; for even as with Him in—and as He walked, whether in Galilee, in Egypt, in India, in France, in England, or America—there were those periods when the activities of the physical were as was what would be termed the everyday life of the sons of God in the Atlantean or Eden experience; for as those brought the various changes from the highest of the spiritual development to the highest of the mental, then of the material or physical developments, then the fall—see?
We are through for the present.

GC: You will have before you the information given thru this channel on The Lost Continent of Atlantis, a copy of which I hold in my hand. You will please answer the questions which I will ask regarding this.
EC: We have the information as given here, The Lost Continent of Atlantis, Poseida, Og, Odynelius [?]. Yes. Ready for questions.
(Q) Please explain what is meant by “He will walk and talk with men of every clime”. Does this mean he will appear to many at once or appear to various peoples during a long period?
(A) As given, for a thousand years He will walk and talk with men of every clime. Then in groups, in masses, and then they shall reign of the first resurrection for a thousand years; for this will be when the changes materially come.
In the manner as He sat at the peace conference in Geneva, in the heart and soul of a man not reckoned by many as an even unusually Godly man; yet raised for a purpose, and he chose rather to be a channel of His thought for the world. So, as there has been, so will it be until the time as set. As was given of Him, not given to man to know the time or the period of the end, nor to man—save by their constituting themselves a channel through which He may speak. To be sure, man and woman alike; for, as given from the beginning, they are one. Not as man counts oneness from the material viewpoint. Rather from that as He gave, “Where are those thy persecutors?” “No man, Lord.” “Neither do I condemn thee. Sin no more.” In the searching out of those who, where and when He speaks, or has spoken among or with, or through men, “By their fruits ye shall know them.” They that bring more righteousness are the children of faith, hope, charity. These three; and they do so in material world, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Be thou, then, a channel that may oft walk with Him that gave not of else than, “Let not your hearts be troubled; neither let it be afraid. Let not thine right hand know what thy left hand doeth.” Rather giving self to seeking, day by day, to know the will of the Father as was manifest in Him, and may be manifest in Thee, for He will not leave thee desolate, but will come to thee—but not unless invited; for, as in the periods, as we find, when He walked with men as the Master among men, or when as Joseph in the kingdoms that were raised as the saving of his peoples that sold him into bondage, or as the priest of Salem in the days when the call came that a peculiar peoples would proclaim his name, He has walked and talked with men. Or, as in those days as Asapha [?] [Sons of Asaph? See Ps. 81:5 indicating that Joseph and Asaph were one and the same?], or Affa [?] in those periods when those of that same Egyptian land were giving those counsels to the many nations, when there would be those saving of the physical from that of their own making in the physical; or in the garden when those temptations came, or as the first begotten of the Father that came as Amilius in the Atlantean land and allowed himself to be led in ways of selfishness. Hence, as we see, all the various stages of developments that have come to man through the ages have been those periods when He walked and talked with man.
In this, then, when—as we find—that those periods began in a like period from that of Joseph to Joseph, or Jesus, then again we see the cycle when perfected in body, overcoming the world in the body of man, will He appear in those varied experiences; for He tarries not, and the time draws near.
(Q) In the Persian experience as San (or Zend) did Jesus give the basic teachings of what became Zoroastrianism?
(A) In all those periods that the basic principle was the Oneness of the Father, He has walked with men.
We are through.
