--Are the great nations to be swept away in an hour?
No such absurdity was ever postulated. The cataclysm that annihilated
the choicest sub-races of the Fourth race, or the Atlanteans, was slowly
preparing its work for ages; as any one can read in "Esoteric Buddhism"
(page 54). "Poseidonis," so called, belongs to historical times, though
its fate begins to be realized and suspected only now. What was said is
still asserted: every root-race is separated by a catastrophe, a
cataclysm--the basis and historical foundation of the fables woven later
on into the religious fabric of every people, whether civilized or
savage, under the names of "deluges," "showers of fire," and such like.
That no "appreciable trace is left of such high civilization" is due to
several reasons. One of these may be traced chiefly to the inability,
and partially to the unwillingness (or shall we say congenital spiritual
blindness of this our age!) of the modern archeologist to distinguish
between excavations and ruins 50,000 and 4,000 years old, and to assign
to many a grand archaic ruin its proper age and place in prehistoric
times.
