Legends tell of a lost civilization called "Mu" or "Lemuria" located in the Pacific Ocean. Lemuria was a large continent that was purported by some to be a paradisiacal garden that was the real birthplace of humanity and the cradle of civilization. Although Dr. Javier Cabrera found Pre-Inca stone tablets in Peru with detailed maps of the lost continents of Atlantis and Lemuria, and, three decades ago researchers in Hawaii decided that there were Lemurian ruins between Maui and Oahu, the lost continent of Lemuria is still considered by many to be more of a myth than a reality. During the past century, most writers placed Lemuria, a nature orientated, village culture of healers, holy people, seers, shamans, and oracles, in the Pacific Ocean. Hindu stories about the fiery destruction of the "Pure Land", mirror those of the Polynesians which spoke of the destruction of their beautiful and wondrous home by a devastating volcanic eruption. Lots of channelers and psychics told people about the past lives they had lived there. Some even suggested that the people who populated Lemuria were originally from another planet. The most influential of the theories about the lost continent were those of James Churchward, Madame Blavatsky, and the nineteenth and twentieth century scientists.
The ancient land of
Lemuria has been lost to our modern histories but the memory of its Golden Age
lives on in our Dreaming. There is no conclusive scientific or archaeological
evidence to prove its prior existence; yet, for thousands of years the
Polynesian storytellers have passed on the legend of Mu about a continent in the
Pacific Ocean that was the motherland of humanity and the Lemurians.
The American medium Edgar Cayce, who became famous for his psychic readings, reported that Lemuria disappeared before Atlantis was destroyed. Occultists thought that the continent of Mu spanned much of the southern hemisphere and only fragments (Australia, Easter Island, Fiji Islands, Hawaii, Madagascar, etc.) of it now remained. Lemuria was thought to be the homeland of a telepathic race of people with fully developed psychic abilities whose surviving populace migrated to Atlantean enclaves when the continent sank. After reading the Akashic Records, Rudolf Steiner stated that Lemuria included sections of Africa and southern Asia and had stretched from Ceylon to Madagascar. In the oral traditions of the Eskimos, Mayans, and Native Americas, the sacred record keepers tell stories about how they were descendants of the people we now call Lemurians. One interpretation of a section of "The Mayan Troano Codex" detailed the destruction of Lemurian Mu. The cataclysmic destruction of a race of Lemurian progenitors was lent further credence by recent genetic studies which indicated that sometime in the past there was an environmental catastrophe that greatly reduced the population and available gene pool, which produced a population bottleneck that significantly curtailed genetic variability. When the Sumatran, Mount Toba erupted 71,000 years ago, gigantic tidal waves swept over the oceans. It has also been speculated that asteroids that either passed dangerously close to the Earth or actually impacted the planet might have been the cause of the intense vulcanity, glacial meltdown, and the rise of the sea levels.
