Hello, everyone! I am so thrilled to welcome you to a truly fascinating and insightful conversation that dives deep into one of history's greatest mysteries—Atlantis. Today, we’re not just talking about an ancient legend; we’re exploring the powerful lessons that Atlantis, as interpreted through Edgar Cayce’s visionary insights, holds for us today.
We’ll be joined by an incredible panel of thought leaders and visionaries who will help us unpack the rise of Atlantis as a technologically advanced civilization and, more importantly, its moral and spiritual collapse. What can we learn from Atlantis’ mistakes as we push the boundaries of technology in our own world? Well, that’s exactly what we’re here to discuss.
Edgar Cayce himself will guide us through this journey, and we’ll hear from none other than Nikola Tesla, who will speak on energy and technology; Rudolf Steiner, who will delve into the spiritual evolution of civilizations; Isaac Asimov, to help us navigate the ethics of technological advancement; and James Lovelock, who will explain the environmental implications. We’re also joined by Rachel Carson, Noam Chomsky, Elon Musk, Eckhart Tolle, and Yuval Noah Harari—each bringing their unique perspectives on how we can avoid the fate of Atlantis in today’s world.
So, get ready for a thought-provoking imaginary conversation about technology, morality, and the critical balance humanity must strike as we move forward. Let’s dive in!

Atlantis: A Technologically Advanced but Morally Divided Civilization
Nick Sasaki (Moderator):
"Welcome, everyone, to this fascinating conversation. Today, we’re diving deep into the mysteries of Atlantis and its relevance to our modern world. Joining us first is the renowned ‘Sleeping Prophet’ himself, Edgar Cayce. Edgar, could you please explain the main concept of Atlantis as a technologically advanced yet morally divided civilization?"
Edgar Cayce:
"Thank you, Nick. The story of Atlantis is more than just myth or legend; it’s a cautionary tale of how a civilization can rise to extraordinary heights and yet be undone by its own hand. In my readings, I saw Atlantis as a society that achieved technological marvels far beyond what we know today. They harnessed the energy of the Earth, specifically through crystal technology, which powered everything from their homes to their vehicles.
But with such power came a great moral dilemma. The Atlanteans became divided—some used this technology for the good of humanity, while others sought to dominate, to wield this power selfishly. As their technology advanced, so did their arrogance. They believed they could control not only the natural world but also the spiritual realms. This led to ethical and spiritual decay, and eventually, the misuse of their power caused their civilization to crumble in three distinct periods of destruction.
The lesson of Atlantis is clear: technology, no matter how advanced, is not enough to sustain a society. Without a moral and spiritual foundation, even the greatest achievements can lead to destruction. Today’s world faces a similar crossroads, where the balance between progress and ethics is more crucial than ever."
Nick Sasaki:
"Thank you, Edgar, for setting the stage. Now, let’s bring in our distinguished guests, who will help us explore this idea further. First, we have Nikola Tesla, a visionary in the world of energy and technology. Next, we’re joined by Rudolf Steiner, a spiritual philosopher and founder of anthroposophy, and lastly, we welcome Isaac Asimov, renowned science fiction writer and thinker.
Nikola, let’s start with you. Given your groundbreaking work with energy, how do you view Cayce’s concept of Atlantis, especially their use of crystal technology? Does it resonate with your vision of the future?"
Nikola Tesla:
"Thank you, Nick. What Edgar describes is both fascinating and plausible to me. The idea of crystal energy—though it may sound like science fiction—aligns with my own explorations into harnessing the Earth’s natural forces. I’ve long believed that free energy exists within our planet and the atmosphere, waiting to be tapped. The problem, as Cayce pointed out, is not in the discovery of such energy but in how it’s used.
The Atlanteans, like many today, failed to respect the boundaries of nature. They sought to control it, to bend it to their will, without regard for the consequences. My vision was always about providing energy freely to uplift humanity, not to enrich a few or lead to domination. I believe that if we can rediscover this harmony with nature, we can unlock incredible potential—perhaps even tapping into the very forces the Atlanteans did. But we must do so with humility, not hubris."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s a great perspective, Nikola. It brings into focus the delicate balance of power and responsibility. Now, Rudolf, you’ve always emphasized the importance of spiritual and ethical growth in any society. How do you see the moral division in Atlantis, as Edgar described, and its relevance to today’s world?"
Rudolf Steiner:
"Indeed, Nick, what Edgar describes about Atlantis echoes much of what I’ve taught regarding the spiritual evolution of humanity. The Atlanteans, in their pursuit of technological prowess, lost sight of their spiritual connection. They became consumed by materialism, forgetting that true power comes from within. In our current age, we face the same temptations. Technology is advancing rapidly, yet we must ask: are we advancing spiritually alongside it?
In Atlantis, the divide between those who sought harmony and those who sought domination represents a deeper metaphysical battle between the forces of light and dark, between evolution and regression. As we develop new technologies today, it is essential that we also cultivate higher consciousness. Without a strong moral compass, we risk repeating the mistakes of Atlantis—allowing technology to serve only the ego, rather than the soul."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s a powerful reminder, Rudolf. Isaac, as someone who explored the ethical dimensions of technology in your writing, particularly through your work on robotics and artificial intelligence, how does this Atlantean dilemma speak to modern technological advancements?"
Isaac Asimov:
"It’s almost uncanny how history—or in this case, myth—seems to repeat itself, Nick. The Atlanteans’ downfall, as Edgar describes it, mirrors the very themes I explored in my work, particularly the idea that technology alone is not inherently good or evil. It’s how we use it that defines its morality. In Atlantis, their advancements were tools, but their society became divided when those tools were used for domination rather than progress.
In today’s world, we face a similar dilemma. As we develop artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, and other powerful technologies, we must constantly ask ourselves: what is our ethical responsibility? Can we control what we create, or will it control us? The Atlanteans ignored that question, and it cost them their civilization. We can’t afford to make the same mistake."
Nick Sasaki:
"Thank you, Isaac. Edgar, after hearing these thoughts, do you have anything to add about the importance of balancing progress with ethics in today’s world, in light of what Atlantis experienced?"
Edgar Cayce:
"All of you have made excellent points, and it reinforces the core message that we must never separate our technological advances from our spiritual evolution. Atlantis serves as both a warning and a lesson. We have the potential to reach the heights they once did, but only if we ensure our spiritual and ethical foundations are strong. Otherwise, like Atlantis, we may find ourselves falling from the very heights we strive to attain."
Nick Sasaki:
"Thank you, Edgar. Before we close this part of the discussion, let’s dive deeper into some aspects we haven’t covered yet. Edgar, you’ve mentioned before that Atlantis experienced three distinct periods of destruction. Could you explain how these events unfolded and how the Atlanteans’ misuse of their technological power played a role in each phase?"
Edgar Cayce:
"Certainly, Nick. The destruction of Atlantis was not a single cataclysmic event, but rather a series of disasters that occurred over thousands of years. The first period of destruction took place around 50,000 years ago. At that time, there were already divisions within Atlantis, particularly between those who wanted to use their advanced technologies for good and those who sought to exploit them for power and control.
The second period of destruction occurred approximately 28,000 years ago. During this time, the misuse of crystal technology reached its peak. These crystals, originally intended to harness energy for peaceful purposes, were weaponized by the Atlanteans. The results were devastating, leading to massive ecological changes, including polar shifts and volcanic eruptions, which began to fragment the continent.
The final destruction came around 10,000 years ago, when the remaining landmass of Atlantis sank beneath the ocean. By then, the society was morally bankrupt, with greed, corruption, and arrogance taking over. Their attempts to control the very forces of nature led to their final demise. These three phases serve as warnings to us about the gradual consequences of misusing power and ignoring spiritual balance."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s fascinating, Edgar. It’s clear that Atlantis' downfall was a long, self-inflicted process, driven by the same moral decay we’ve been discussing. James Lovelock, you’ve studied planetary shifts and environmental changes. How do you think the ecological factors, like polar shifts and volcanic eruptions, might have contributed to Atlantis’ collapse?"
James Lovelock:
"Edgar’s description of polar shifts and ecological changes fits with certain theories about Earth’s history. A major polar shift, for instance, could have caused dramatic climate changes, disrupted ocean currents, and led to massive geological instability. While we can’t prove Atlantis existed, these kinds of shifts could certainly destabilize any civilization, especially one tampering with natural forces.
The Atlanteans, as Edgar suggests, misused their technology, triggering or exacerbating these natural events. In today’s world, we’re seeing something similar with climate change, driven by human activities that disrupt the balance of Earth’s systems. The lesson from Atlantis is clear: when we manipulate natural forces without understanding the consequences, we risk triggering disasters that can wipe out entire civilizations."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s an important point, James. Rachel Carson, as someone who warned the world about the dangers of exploiting nature, how do you see the story of Atlantis relating to the modern environmental movement?"
Rachel Carson:
"The story of Atlantis is a powerful allegory for what happens when we believe we can control nature without respecting its limits. The Atlanteans, like many today, exploited their environment and used technology to manipulate natural forces.
In doing so, they created imbalances that ultimately led to their collapse. This mirrors what I wrote about in Silent Spring. When we misuse technology, whether it’s through chemicals, industrial processes, or energy exploitation, we disturb the delicate balance of ecosystems.
In Atlantis, it was their misuse of crystal energy and technology that triggered ecological disasters like polar shifts and volcanic eruptions. Today, we are seeing the consequences of our own actions in the form of climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation. The lesson of Atlantis is that nature will always reassert itself, and if we do not respect its limits, we risk facing the same fate. It's a reminder that progress must always be guided by respect for the Earth and an understanding of our interconnectedness with all living things."
Nick Sasaki:
"Thank you, Rachel. The environmental parallels between Atlantis and today are indeed striking. Noam Chomsky, as a social critic, how do you interpret the societal and ethical dimensions of Atlantis' downfall, particularly in terms of power dynamics and technology?"
Noam Chomsky:
"Edgar’s description of Atlantis highlights a very familiar pattern in human history: the concentration of power in the hands of a few and the resulting moral and societal decay. In Atlantis, it was the elite who controlled advanced technology, using it to dominate others and exploit resources. This is a recurring theme throughout history, and it continues today.
The misuse of power—whether it’s economic, political, or technological—creates instability and division. In Atlantis, the ethical and spiritual degradation that accompanied this concentration of power led to their downfall. We see similar dynamics in our world today, where technological advancements are often driven by profit and control, rather than the common good. The lesson from Atlantis is that without ethical responsibility, the pursuit of power leads to destruction. Technology can be a tool for progress, but when it’s used solely for control and exploitation, it becomes a weapon of collapse."
Nick Sasaki:
"That’s a powerful connection, Noam. It’s clear that Atlantis' downfall was as much about societal power imbalances as it was about technology. Edgar, as we reflect on both the technological and societal factors that contributed to Atlantis’ fall, what lessons can we apply to modern society to prevent a similar fate?"
Edgar Cayce:
"The most important lesson is that progress must always be tempered with wisdom and ethical responsibility. The Atlanteans became so focused on their technological achievements that they lost sight of their spiritual values. They misused their power, and in doing so, they sowed the seeds of their own destruction. Today, we have an opportunity to avoid the same mistakes.
Technology is a gift, but it is also a responsibility. If we do not use it wisely, if we allow greed and self-interest to dictate its development, we will face consequences just as Atlantis did. The key is balance—balancing our technological progress with our spiritual growth, balancing power with compassion, and balancing material success with ethical considerations. If we can maintain that balance, we can build a future that avoids the fate of Atlantis and creates a world where humanity thrives in harmony with nature and each other."
Nick Sasaki:
"Thank you, Edgar. It’s clear that the lessons of Atlantis are deeply relevant to the challenges we face today. As we advance technologically, we must ensure that we are also advancing morally and spiritually. The story of Atlantis offers both a warning and a guide for how to navigate the future. Thank you to all our guests for this important discussion on the rise and fall of Atlantis."
The Destruction of Atlantis: A Gradual and Self-Inflicted Collapse
Nick Sasaki (Moderator):
“Thanks again, Edgar, and everyone for the insightful discussion on Atlantis’ technological rise and moral decline. Now, let’s shift our focus to the collapse of Atlantis. Edgar, you’ve said before that Atlantis didn’t fall all at once, but rather in three phases. Could you explain how these events unfolded and the role the Atlanteans played in their own destruction?”
Edgar Cayce:
“Certainly, Nick. The destruction of Atlantis was not a single cataclysmic event, but rather a series of disasters that occurred over thousands of years. The first period of destruction took place around 50,000 years ago. At that time, there were already divisions within Atlantis, particularly between those who wanted to use their advanced technologies for good and those who sought to exploit them for power and control.
The second period of destruction occurred approximately 28,000 years ago. During this time, the misuse of crystal technology reached its peak. These crystals, originally intended to harness energy for peaceful purposes, were weaponized by the Atlanteans. The results were devastating, leading to massive ecological changes, including polar shifts and volcanic eruptions, which began to fragment the continent.
The final destruction came around 10,000 years ago, when the remaining landmass of Atlantis sank beneath the ocean. By then, the society was morally bankrupt, with greed, corruption, and arrogance taking over. Their attempts to control the very forces of nature led to their final demise. These three phases serve as warnings to us about the gradual consequences of misusing power and ignoring spiritual balance.”
Nick Sasaki:
“Thank you, Edgar. It’s interesting to see how Atlantis’ downfall was a slow, self-inflicted process rather than a single event. Now, let’s turn to James Lovelock, an expert on planetary shifts and environmental changes. James, what do you think about Edgar’s description of polar shifts and ecological changes playing a role in Atlantis’ destruction? How might this relate to what we’re seeing in the world today?”
James Lovelock:
“Edgar’s description aligns with some of the theories about how major planetary shifts can impact civilizations. A polar shift, for example, would cause massive climate changes, disrupt ocean currents, and lead to geological instability. While there’s no direct scientific evidence linking Atlantis to such events, it’s plausible that a society with advanced technology could have triggered ecological imbalances, much like we’re seeing today with climate change.
The Atlanteans’ misuse of natural forces, as Edgar described, could mirror the modern exploitation of fossil fuels and other energy sources. Our industrial activities are already causing disruptions to Earth’s climate, and if left unchecked, we could be setting ourselves on a similar path. The lesson from Atlantis is that tampering with nature without understanding its broader impact can lead to disaster.”
Nick Sasaki:
“That’s a valuable comparison, James. The idea that humanity could repeat the mistakes of Atlantis is something we should all be concerned about. Now, let’s bring in Rachel Carson, a pioneer of the modern environmental movement. Rachel, how does the story of Atlantis’ environmental collapse resonate with your work on the dangers of human impact on nature?”
Rachel Carson:
“The story of Atlantis is, in many ways, a mythic reflection of what we are experiencing in the modern world. The Atlanteans, according to Edgar, exploited their environment to such an extent that it contributed to their own destruction. This parallels what I’ve written about in Silent Spring. When humanity believes it can dominate and control nature without consequence, we often find ourselves facing ecological collapse.
The misuse of their crystal technology to manipulate natural forces reminds me of how we use pesticides, chemicals, and industrial processes that harm ecosystems. Atlantis serves as a powerful reminder that we are not separate from the environment; we are deeply connected to it. If we do not respect the limits of nature, as the Atlanteans failed to, we too may face irreversible consequences.”
Nick Sasaki:
“Thank you, Rachel. It’s clear that Atlantis’ collapse offers valuable lessons for our relationship with the environment today. Noam Chomsky, let’s now explore the societal and ethical dimensions of Atlantis’ destruction. Edgar mentioned that Atlantis was divided into factions, with some groups seeking to dominate others through technology. How does this relate to modern societies and the power dynamics we see today?”
Noam Chomsky:
“Edgar’s description of Atlantis highlights a recurring theme in human history—the concentration of power in the hands of a few and the subsequent moral and societal decay that follows. In Atlantis, we see a powerful elite using technology to dominate, exploit, and control, which led to the collapse of their society. This is not unlike what we see in modern times, where economic and technological power is concentrated in the hands of a few corporations and governments, often at the expense of the broader population and the environment.
When power is unchecked and used for selfish gain, as it was in Atlantis, societies become unstable and vulnerable to collapse. The Atlanteans’ technological advancements were not tempered with ethical responsibility, much like the way our current global systems operate. The lesson here is that without a balance between power, ethics, and the common good, even the most advanced civilizations can fall.”
Nick Sasaki:
“That’s a compelling comparison, Noam. It seems that power without ethics leads to destruction, whether in Atlantis or today’s world. Edgar, as we reflect on the self-inflicted destruction of Atlantis, do you have any thoughts on how humanity can avoid repeating these mistakes?”
Edgar Cayce:
“Yes, Nick. The destruction of Atlantis serves as a reminder that technological and material progress must be balanced with spiritual and ethical growth. The Atlanteans’ downfall came from their arrogance—believing they could control nature and exploit technology without consequence. Humanity today faces a similar challenge.
To avoid the same fate, we must learn to align our advancements with the greater good, focusing not just on what we can do with technology, but on why and how we use it. Spirituality, ethics, and a sense of responsibility to the Earth and future generations must guide us. If we fail to learn these lessons, we risk following the same path that led to the fall of Atlantis.”
Nick Sasaki:
“Thank you, Edgar. It’s clear that the story of Atlantis is more than just a myth—it’s a powerful lesson for our times, showing us the dangers of unchecked power, exploitation of nature, and moral decay. As we move forward, we must be mindful of how we balance progress with responsibility.
I’d like to thank all our guests for joining this important conversation. The collapse of Atlantis may be ancient history, but its lessons are timeless. We’ll continue exploring these themes in our next topic. Stay tuned.”
Reincarnation and Karma: Souls of Atlantis in the Modern World
Nick Sasaki (Moderator):
“Thank you, everyone, for the rich discussion on the destruction of Atlantis. Now, let’s shift gears to one of the more spiritual aspects of Edgar Cayce’s readings: reincarnation and karma. Edgar, you’ve spoken about how the souls of Atlantis didn’t disappear with the fall of the civilization but were reincarnated in future lives, carrying with them the karmic lessons from their past. Could you explain this concept further?”
Edgar Cayce:
“Certainly, Nick. The souls of Atlantis did not simply vanish when the continent sank. Many of them reincarnated in future lifetimes, continuing their spiritual journey in other civilizations, like ancient Egypt, South America, and eventually even in the modern world. These souls brought with them both the gifts and burdens from their time in Atlantis.
The idea of karma is central here. Atlantean souls, like all souls, carry the consequences of their past actions. Those who misused power or neglected their spiritual development in Atlantis are given opportunities in future lives to correct those mistakes. Similarly, those who used their knowledge and abilities for the good of others are reincarnated with the opportunity to further contribute to humanity’s growth.
In today’s world, many of these reincarnated souls are leaders in science, technology, and spirituality. They are often drawn to roles where they can influence the direction of human progress—either repeating the mistakes of Atlantis or helping humanity evolve in a more balanced, ethical way. This karmic influence is playing out now, as we once again face the challenge of balancing technological advancement with spiritual growth.”
Nick Sasaki:
“That’s a powerful concept, Edgar. It suggests that some of the people shaping our world today may have karmic ties to Atlantis, for better or worse. Brian Weiss, you’ve worked extensively with past-life regression and the concept of reincarnation. How does Edgar’s description of Atlantean reincarnation resonate with your own experiences?”
Brian Weiss:
“Edgar’s insights into reincarnation and karma align closely with my work in past-life regression. I’ve had many patients recall lives in ancient civilizations, including Atlantis, during regression sessions. These individuals often describe the same themes Edgar mentioned—misuse of power, spiritual imbalance, and a sense of unfinished business.
Many people carry karmic imprints from their lives in Atlantis, which influence their current relationships, careers, and personal challenges. Some come into this life with an inherent understanding of advanced technology or a natural affinity for spiritual wisdom. Others struggle with power dynamics, control, or ethical dilemmas, echoing their past lives in Atlantis.
The key to resolving these karmic patterns is awareness. When people recognize the connections to their past, they can consciously choose to break negative cycles and move toward spiritual growth. The lessons of Atlantis are particularly relevant today as we face similar global challenges of balancing technological power with ethical and spiritual responsibility.”
Nick Sasaki:
“That’s fascinating, Brian. The idea that we are working through karmic patterns from Atlantis brings a whole new dimension to how we view our current life challenges. Let’s turn to Michael Newton, who has also explored the concept of reincarnation in depth. Michael, in your work on life between lives, how do you see the influence of Atlantean souls reincarnating and their karmic journey?”
Michael Newton:
“Thank you, Nick. In my work with life-between-lives regression, I’ve guided individuals to the spiritual realm where they review their past lives and plan their future incarnations. Many souls remember lifetimes in Atlantis as pivotal turning points in their spiritual evolution.
The reincarnation of Atlantean souls follows a pattern of learning and growth. Some souls, as Edgar mentioned, are drawn to technology and leadership roles, continuing the work they began in Atlantis. Others focus on spiritual and ethical development, seeking to balance the technological advancements they helped bring forth.
Karma plays a key role in this journey. Atlantean souls are often reincarnated in circumstances where they face similar challenges as they did in their past lives—whether it's dealing with power, responsibility, or the consequences of their actions. These souls have the opportunity to correct past mistakes, but they also have free will. They can choose to repeat those mistakes or grow beyond them. The challenge for Atlantean souls in this lifetime is to integrate the spiritual lessons they may have neglected in the past, ensuring that their advancements benefit all of humanity, not just the few.”
Nick Sasaki:
“Thank you, Michael. It seems that Atlantean souls are continuing their journey across lifetimes, with karma shaping their experiences in profound ways. The Dalai Lama, you’ve often spoken about reincarnation and karma from a Buddhist perspective. How do these ideas fit within your understanding of spiritual evolution?”
The Dalai Lama:
“Thank you, Nick. The concept of reincarnation and karma is deeply embedded in Buddhist philosophy. Karma is the law of cause and effect, and it transcends time and space, influencing our lives across many lifetimes. What Edgar Cayce has shared about the Atlantean souls is, in essence, a reflection of this universal law.
Those who lived in Atlantis are no different from any other souls. They carry the karmic imprints of their actions, whether good or bad. In this life, as in any other, they are presented with opportunities to purify their karma, to make amends for past mistakes, and to develop spiritually.
One important point to understand is that karma is not a form of punishment; it is a tool for learning. Each life, including the lives of those reincarnated from Atlantis, presents new opportunities for growth, for compassion, and for developing wisdom. As we learn from our past, we also contribute to the greater good of all sentient beings. The story of Atlantis, as Edgar describes it, is a reminder that we are all interconnected, and the karma of one civilization can influence the entire world.”
Nick Sasaki:
“That’s a beautiful way of understanding karma, Dalai Lama. It reminds us that karma is a pathway for learning and growth, not just for individuals but for entire civilizations. Edgar, as we think about these Atlantean souls reincarnating today, what advice would you give to them? How can they best use this lifetime to balance their karma and help humanity move forward?”
Edgar Cayce:
“My advice to those who carry the karmic lessons of Atlantis is to first seek self-awareness. Understand where your gifts come from, and recognize any patterns that may be repeating in your life. If you feel drawn to power, technology, or leadership, ask yourself: Am I using these gifts to uplift others, or am I seeking control and personal gain?
It’s also important to balance material success with spiritual development. In Atlantis, many souls neglected their spiritual growth, which led to their downfall. This lifetime is an opportunity to correct that. Focus on service, compassion, and ethical responsibility. Use your knowledge and abilities for the good of all humanity, not just for the few.
Finally, stay connected to the divine. The Atlanteans’ downfall came from their disconnection from spiritual truth. In this life, you have the chance to reconnect, to bring balance between the material and spiritual worlds. If you can achieve that balance, you will not only resolve your karmic lessons but also help guide humanity toward a brighter future.”
Nick Sasaki:
“Thank you, Edgar. It’s clear that the reincarnated souls of Atlantis carry both great potential and great responsibility. As they work through their karma, they have the opportunity to shape the future of humanity in profound ways. This concludes our discussion on reincarnation and karma. Thank you to all our guests for your insights.
Next, we’ll move into the topic of Atlantean wisdom and its influence on modern civilization. Stay tuned.”
Atlantean Wisdom and Its Influence on Modern Civilization
Nick Sasaki (Moderator):
“We’ve covered some fascinating ground so far. Now, let’s dive into how the wisdom of Atlantis, as Edgar Cayce saw it, continues to influence modern civilization. Edgar, you’ve mentioned that Atlanteans migrated to various parts of the world, bringing their knowledge with them, especially to Egypt and South America. Could you elaborate on how Atlantean wisdom has shaped these and other civilizations?”
Edgar Cayce:
“Of course, Nick. When Atlantis was nearing its final collapse, many Atlanteans fled to different parts of the world, carrying with them their advanced knowledge of technology, architecture, and spirituality. One of the most significant migrations was to Egypt, where Atlanteans played a crucial role in laying the foundations of what would become one of the greatest ancient civilizations.
The pyramids, for example, are not just impressive feats of architecture; they are repositories of spiritual knowledge, aligned with the stars and built using principles that the Atlanteans had perfected over millennia. The knowledge of energy, geometry, and even healing that the Atlanteans possessed was passed down to the Egyptians and continued to evolve.
Beyond Egypt, Atlantean migrants also influenced other ancient cultures, such as those in South America. The mysterious structures found in places like Machu Picchu and the Nazca Lines carry echoes of Atlantean wisdom. These ancient peoples inherited Atlantean insights into astronomy, geometry, and the interconnectedness of the Earth’s energy fields.
Atlantean wisdom is still present today, not just in our technologies but in the esoteric teachings that have survived through spiritual practices, mystical traditions, and even modern sciences. The challenge for humanity is to rediscover this wisdom and use it to build a better world, just as the Atlanteans once sought to do before their civilization fell.”
Nick Sasaki:
“Thank you, Edgar. It’s fascinating to think that the legacy of Atlantis lives on in such iconic structures and spiritual traditions. Let’s bring in Zahi Hawass, an expert in Egyptian archaeology. Zahi, how does Edgar’s perspective on Atlanteans influencing Egypt align with what we know about ancient Egyptian civilization?”
Zahi Hawass:
“Well, Nick, from an archaeological standpoint, we don’t have direct evidence linking the people of Atlantis to ancient Egypt. However, there are certainly aspects of Egyptian civilization, particularly in their monumental architecture and understanding of astronomy, that suggest an advanced knowledge base that could have come from external sources.
The construction of the pyramids, especially the Great Pyramid, required a deep understanding of mathematics, astronomy, and engineering. It’s possible that the Egyptians inherited this knowledge from earlier cultures or perhaps even from an unknown civilization, as Edgar Cayce suggests. The alignment of the pyramids with celestial bodies and the precise measurements used in their construction certainly hint at knowledge that goes beyond what we typically attribute to ancient peoples of that time.
While mainstream archaeology remains skeptical of direct Atlantean influence, we cannot rule out the possibility of lost or hidden knowledge being passed down through generations. The story of Atlantis could very well be part of a greater historical puzzle, one we have yet to fully solve.”
Nick Sasaki:
“Thanks for your input, Zahi. It’s interesting to consider that some of this advanced knowledge might have been inherited from an unknown source. Graham Hancock, you’ve written extensively about lost civilizations and the possibility that ancient peoples like the Egyptians and the Mayans were influenced by earlier advanced cultures. How does Edgar’s idea of Atlantean migrations resonate with your own theories?”
Graham Hancock:
“Edgar’s ideas certainly resonate with the research I’ve conducted over the years. In my work, I’ve explored the possibility that there was an advanced civilization before the end of the last Ice Age, which may have been Atlantis or something very similar. This civilization, like Atlantis, could have been wiped out by catastrophic events, such as flooding or geological upheavals. Survivors of that civilization may have migrated to various parts of the world, including Egypt and South America, bringing their knowledge with them.
We see evidence of this in the sudden appearance of advanced knowledge in otherwise relatively primitive cultures. For example, the ancient Egyptians and the Mayans both had an incredible understanding of astronomy, mathematics, and architecture that seems almost out of place for their time. This could be the legacy of a lost civilization, like Atlantis, whose survivors passed down their wisdom to later generations.
The Atlantean migration theory also fits with the flood myths we find across many cultures. These myths may be based on real events—possibly the final destruction of Atlantis—and the survivors carried their stories and knowledge with them. As Edgar said, this wisdom is not just technological but spiritual as well. It’s a reminder that we once had a deeper understanding of our connection to the Earth and the cosmos.”
Nick Sasaki:
“Thank you, Graham. It’s compelling to think that flood myths and advanced knowledge across ancient cultures might be remnants of Atlantean wisdom. Joseph Campbell, as a mythologist, how do you see the story of Atlantis fitting into the broader context of mythology and its influence on human consciousness?”
Joseph Campbell:
“The story of Atlantis is, in many ways, an archetypal myth. It reflects a universal pattern found in many cultures: the rise of a great civilization, its eventual hubris, and its fall. This pattern is not just about a specific place or time—it’s a metaphor for the human journey, both individually and collectively.
In mythological terms, Atlantis represents the height of human potential, where advanced technology and deep spiritual knowledge coexist. But the fall of Atlantis is a reminder that when we lose balance—when we allow technology and power to overshadow our ethical and spiritual responsibilities—we are destined to fail. This is a story that repeats throughout history, not just in Atlantis but in other civilizations like Rome, Greece, and even in modern times.
Atlantean wisdom, as Edgar Cayce describes it, is part of a deeper mythological framework that speaks to the potential for human beings to achieve greatness when they are aligned with the cosmos and with each other. The legacy of Atlantis, passed down through migrations and stories, is a reminder that we can access this wisdom again, but only if we balance our technological progress with our spiritual development.”
Nick Sasaki:
“Thank you, Joseph. It seems that the story of Atlantis is more than just a tale of a lost civilization—it’s a metaphor for the rise and fall of human potential, with lessons that still resonate today. Edgar, as we think about Atlantean wisdom influencing modern civilization, what should people be focusing on in order to access and apply this ancient knowledge in today’s world?”
Edgar Cayce:
“The first step, Nick, is awareness. People must recognize that we are not separate from our past. The wisdom of Atlantis still exists within us, carried through our spiritual and genetic memory. We see its influence in modern technology, architecture, and even in our spiritual practices. But the key to unlocking this wisdom is balance.
Just as the Atlanteans lost their way when they prioritized power and technology over spiritual growth, we must not repeat the same mistake. Today’s world is filled with advancements that rival those of Atlantis, but if we do not ground ourselves in ethics, compassion, and a sense of responsibility to each other and to the Earth, we risk a similar downfall.
Meditation, mindfulness, and spiritual exploration are crucial. These practices help us reconnect with the deeper truths that Atlantean wisdom offers—truths about our connection to the cosmos, the power of intention, and the importance of living in harmony with the natural world. By integrating these lessons into our modern lives, we can use Atlantean knowledge to build a better future, one that avoids the mistakes of the past.”

A Warning for Humanity: The Balance Between Technology and Spirituality
Nick Sasaki (Moderator):
“Thank you, everyone, for the incredible journey we’ve been on so far. Our final topic focuses on the broader warning that the story of Atlantis holds for humanity. Edgar, in your readings, you’ve often emphasized that Atlantis' downfall was a direct result of their failure to balance technological advancements with ethical and spiritual responsibility. What message should we take from Atlantis’ fate as we face our own challenges in the modern world?”
Edgar Cayce:
“The message of Atlantis is one of caution, but also of hope. Atlantis was a civilization that achieved extraordinary technological advancements, but their undoing came from their neglect of the spiritual and ethical aspects of life. They became consumed with power, materialism, and control over nature, believing they could manipulate the forces of the universe without consequence.
Humanity today faces a similar situation. We are advancing at an unprecedented rate, developing technologies that could solve many of the world’s problems. But these advancements also come with dangers—dangers of exploitation, environmental destruction, and the concentration of power in the hands of a few. If we do not balance our technological progress with spiritual and ethical development, we risk repeating the mistakes of Atlantis.
The key is to remember that technology is a tool, not a solution. It must be guided by wisdom, compassion, and a deep respect for the interconnectedness of all life. When we prioritize short-term gains and material success over long-term well-being and spiritual growth, we lose sight of what truly matters. The fate of Atlantis serves as a reminder that we must align our progress with a higher purpose—one that benefits not just ourselves, but the entire world.”
Nick Sasaki:
“That’s a powerful warning, Edgar. It’s clear that the balance between technology and spirituality is more critical now than ever. Let’s hear from Elon Musk, someone who’s at the forefront of technological innovation. Elon, as a tech visionary, how do you see the role of technology in shaping the future, and how can we avoid the pitfalls that led to Atlantis’ downfall?”
Elon Musk:
“Thanks, Nick. What Edgar said resonates with me, particularly the idea that technology is a tool. At its core, technology is neutral—it can be used to uplift humanity or to destroy it, depending on how we choose to apply it. We’re at a point in history where we have the ability to make enormous strides, whether it’s through space exploration, artificial intelligence, or clean energy solutions. But with great power comes great responsibility.
The downfall of Atlantis is a cautionary tale about becoming too focused on what technology can do without considering the broader ethical implications. I think it’s essential to keep humanity’s long-term survival and well-being in mind. Projects like SpaceX and Tesla aren’t just about making money or advancing technology—they’re about ensuring a sustainable future for humanity. We need to find a balance between innovation and stewardship of our planet and our societies.
Ultimately, it’s about vision. We can push the boundaries of what’s possible, but we need to ensure that we’re doing it with a vision that benefits humanity as a whole, not just the few who control the technology.”
Nick Sasaki:
“Thank you, Elon. It’s encouraging to hear that even in the most forward-thinking technological pursuits, there’s an awareness of the need for ethical responsibility. Eckhart Tolle, you’ve often spoken about the importance of spiritual awareness in a rapidly changing world. How can individuals and societies ensure that they remain spiritually grounded as they embrace technological advancement?”
Eckhart Tolle:
“Thank you, Nick. The story of Atlantis, as Edgar describes it, is not just about technology—it’s about the inner state of consciousness that shapes our use of technology. The Atlanteans fell because they became identified with the external—their power, their technology, their control over the material world—and lost touch with the deeper essence of life, which is found in presence, awareness, and connection to the whole.
In today’s world, we face a similar challenge. Technology, while incredibly useful, can also distract us from our inner being. It can pull us into a state of constant doing, striving, and achieving, without allowing us the space to simply be. When that happens, we lose sight of the deeper purpose of life, which is not to control or dominate, but to live in harmony with ourselves, each other, and the planet.
The solution is not to reject technology, but to use it consciously. We must remain aware of the present moment, cultivating stillness and inner peace even as we engage with the external world. When we do this, we can align our technological advancements with a higher purpose, ensuring that they serve humanity rather than dominate it. This balance between being and doing, between the spiritual and the material, is what will allow us to avoid the fate of Atlantis.”
Nick Sasaki:
“That’s an important reminder, Eckhart. Staying present and spiritually grounded is key to using technology in a way that benefits the whole of humanity. Yuval Noah Harari, you’ve written extensively about the future of humanity and the impact of technology on society. From your perspective, what lessons can we learn from Atlantis in terms of how we approach the future?”
Yuval Noah Harari:
“The story of Atlantis, whether historical or symbolic, offers profound lessons for the future of humanity. As Edgar and others have mentioned, the key lesson is about the balance of power—specifically, how we wield the immense power that technology offers us. In the coming decades, humanity will face choices that will determine the direction of our species, perhaps even our survival.
We are already seeing the development of technologies—artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, bioengineering—that have the potential to reshape life as we know it. These technologies can bring about incredible benefits, from curing diseases to addressing climate change, but they also come with ethical dilemmas. Who controls this technology? How is it distributed? What does it mean to be human when machines become more intelligent than we are?
The lesson of Atlantis is that unchecked power leads to collapse. We must develop not only technologically but also morally and spiritually, or we risk creating a world where inequality, environmental destruction, and the concentration of power become insurmountable. The future will be shaped by our choices, and if we fail to balance our technological capabilities with ethical wisdom, we could face a future far darker than the one Atlantis experienced.”
Nick Sasaki:
“Thank you, Yuval. It’s clear that as we move forward, the choices we make regarding technology and ethics will shape the future of our civilization. Edgar, as we come to the close of our discussion, what final message would you like to leave humanity with, based on the lessons of Atlantis?”
Edgar Cayce:
“My final message is this: humanity stands at a crossroads, much like Atlantis once did. The choices we make now will determine the fate of our world. We have the potential to achieve greatness, to create a world where technology, ethics, and spirituality are in balance. But we must be vigilant. We must ensure that our pursuit of knowledge and power is guided by wisdom, compassion, and a deep connection to the divine.
The story of Atlantis is a reminder that progress without purpose leads to destruction. But if we align ourselves with the principles of love, unity, and service to others, we can avoid the mistakes of the past. It is not too late. We can choose a different path—one that leads to a future where humanity thrives in harmony with the Earth and with each other.”
Nick Sasaki:
“Thank you, Edgar. And thank you to all of our guests for sharing your insights. The story of Atlantis serves as both a warning and a guide for our future. As we navigate the challenges of the modern world, may we remember the importance of balancing technology with spirituality, power with responsibility, and progress with compassion. Until next time, let’s continue this journey of exploration and wisdom.”
