Cassiopaean Chronology/Cosmology

[thorbiorn]

Civilization: Hard to know how to define atlantean civilization means. is it like Western/West Chinese/Iranian civlization etc. I will keep this aside.

Session 31 May 1997

Q: Cayce talks about the division in Atlantis between the "Sons of One" and the "Sons of Belial." Was this a racial division or a philosophical/ religious division?

A: It was the latter two, and before that, the former one.

Maybe a way to approach it is to think about our own civilization.
The life in many big cities of the world is similar, once one moves to the countryside it is more different.
Western civilization is spread out, within this some part of it could be called American (US) but many others would come close.
Christian Orthodox world, including Russia though people in the Russian Federation have several religions. Technologically it is quite similar to the US and Europe, as are many other parts of the world.
A different way would be to qualify modern civilization as characterized by consumerism with centralized production, distribution and administration.

Session 18 March 1995

A: For Brad's benefit, Mars monuments are atlantean, some on Moon are others; are ET.

Q: (S) Yes. Edgar Cayce said that the Atlanteans were going to other planets...

A: Yes. With the same relative ease with which you would fly to Atlanta.

Q: (B) Strange!

A: Pun intended! Triple! What is the base root of the name?

Taking the challenge from the session, if etymology might give something.
Etymologies:

Atlantic
early 15c., Atlantyke, "of or pertaining to the sea off the west coast of Africa," from Latin Atlanticus, from Greek Atlantikos "of Atlas," adjectival form of Atlas (genitive Atlantos) as used in reference to Mount Atlas in Mauritania (see Atlas). The name has been extended since c. 1600 to the ocean between Europe and Africa, on one side, and the Americas on the other. As a noun late 14c., Athlant, from Old French Atlante.

Atlas
Borrowed from Latin Atlas, from the name of the Ancient Greek mythological figure Ἄτλας (Átlas, “Bearer (of the Heavens)”), from τλῆναι (tlênai, “to suffer”, “to endure”, “to bear”). The sense referring to books of maps comes from the Atlas of Mercator, which he named thus in honor of Atlas, who was supposed to be skillful in astronomy and the doctrine of the sphere. The sense referring to the vertebra reflects that the spine carries the globe of the cranium (the neck carries the head).

Atlas (Merriam-Webster)

atlas
[...]
1 Atlas : a Titan who for his part in the Titans' revolt against the gods is forced by Zeus to support the heavens on his shoulders
2 Atlas : one who bears a heavy burden

4: the first vertebra of the neck
[...]

Odd that that Atlas was a Titan punished by the Gods, and that a collection of maps took their names from Atlas since he was considered skillful in astronomy and the knowledge of the sphere. Funny that old maps have been discussed in the last few posts.
