"in Atlantean land before Adam - timekeeper for those who were called things or servants or workers of the people - entitity felt need of change or reform so that every individual would have the right of choice or freedom - felt desire to improve the conditions for worker - felt need of God's hand in what evil or Satan had brought to the earth."
Evidently, Atlantis was not all sweetness and light in those early days. Already there was a difference in consciousness among those beings that had projected themselves into material bodies. The following quotations seem to imply that these souls or spiritual creations began to project themselves into matter, possibly first as thought forms, then into more substantial flesh, probably for their own diversion.
"but with these transpositions, with these changes that came in as personalities, we find ... the Sons of the Creative Force ... looking upon those changed forms, or the daughters of men, and there crept in those pollutions, or polluting themselves with those mixtures that brought contempt, hatred, bloodshed, and desires of self without respect of others' freedom, others' wishes - and there began, then, in the latter portion of this period dissentings and divisions among the peoples in the lands."
What the "sons of the Creative Forces looking on the daughters of men" means is subject to interpretation. I would interpret it as implying that the earth was proceeding along an evolutionary pattern (remember animals inhabited the earth long before man - there probably were man-like creatures) which was interupted by the projection into materiality of these thought forms. It sounds as if they, in many cases, mixed with animals, the results being sometimes quite bizarre. A division of opinion arose concerning this mingling.
A quotation from Paul's letter to the Corinthians seems to me to echo this thought and point up the problems it created: "The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so are those who are of dust; and as is the man of heaven, so are those of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven. I tell you this, bretheren: flesh of blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable" (I Corinthians 15:47-50 RSV)
The reading continues:
"Then began that period when there were the invasions of this continent by those of the animal kingdom. This brought about that meeting of the nations of the globe to prepare a way and manner of disposing of them, else they would be disposed of themselves by these forces. This animal invasion resulted in the development of destructive force as could be set and then meted out in its force or power. Hence the development of explosives that might be carried about, came with this reign, or this period, when man - or men - then began to cope with those of the beast form that overan the earth in many places. Then, with these destructive forces, we find the first turning of the altar fires to the sacrifice of those that were taken in the various ways, and human sacrifice began."
