Atlantean mysteries

The Atlantean mysteries, of which there is no external tradition, had their centres in the seven great Atlantean oracle sites, which were located in spiritually and geographically excellent places under the influence of the seven planetary forces. They were at the same time initiation and oracle sites. The greatest and most sublime mystery site, which guided all others, was the ancient sun oracle. The spiritual teachers of these great Atlantean initiation sites were not yet human beings, but higher spiritual beings. At that time, most people still had a dim clairvoyance through which they could receive the gifts of these teachers, but they had a still barely developed capacity for judgement of their own. The people in whom this faculty of judgement had already awakened most strongly were selected at the sinking of Atlantis under the guidance of Manu, who led the solar oracle, and led first to the vicinity of present-day Ireland and then on to Asia in the region of the Tarim Basin, in order to establish the post-Atlantean culture from here.
