For those who have finally discovered Atlantis Rising and want to know where they can get it, the best option remains subscription. Hopefully, though, the day when Atlantis Rising will be as easy to find as any other magazine is near at hand. Already readers are finding, there’s more hard-to-find-information between these covers than is to be found in any other publication. Here’s a sampling from mailbag #7.

The Most Amazing Discovery of All Time

I really believe Authors such as Michael Cremo, Graham Hancock, Rand and Rose Flem-Ath have really hit upon the most amazing discovery of all time. Everything I have read or heard about Atlantis being in Antarctica seems to fit together like a puzzle and you don’t have to force any of the pieces. I am in complete agreement with everything with the exception of one thing.

The currant Crustal Displacement places Antarctica centered within the Antarctic Circle and, believe it if you will, the same proportionate land mass within the Arctic Circle. At the North Pole the Land masses are located around the peripheral edges, whereas the South Pole the land mass is smack dab in the middle. Currently at the North Pole there is very little ice buildup. The average thickness is between 3 and 7 meters thick. Whereas at the South Pole the land mass has the entire continent covered with mountain ranges of ice from 10,000 to 16,000 feet high. With a continental average of between 10,000 and 12,O00 feet high. 90% of the ice for this planet is located there and 70% of the fresh water for this planet is located there. It is noted if the Polar Cap of Antarctica were to melt all at once it would raise the Sea Level worldwide some 200 feet. Beside which the continent of Antarctica has sunk some 1.6 feet below Sea Level from the weight of the ice. I would encourage you to try to get some figures relating to the weight and annual buildup of ice and I believe you will agree with me that we are looking at another crustal displacement very soon, perhaps by the turn of the century or a little thereafter. I believe that a shift in the earth's crust at this time would effectively destroy between 75 and 90% of all life on the planet as we know it. If we weren't killed by the earthquakes or the flash freezing that occurred in Siberia with Woolly Mammoths; the impending flood from the meltdown of Antarctica would greatly alter global geography for many years to come.

At no other time in history has man been in a position to do anything about the impending Crustal Shift. But now with current technology we could halt the process by mining the ice from Antarctica before it gets to the point of no return...

l agree with John Anthony West that we are on the cusp of precessional change, and I believe it is a facet of change which is pre-set by cosmic geography, necessitating an alternating predomination every couple thousand years or so between left and right brain expressions of our world cultures. Human condition has at this time the additional challenge, as Gregg Braden so perceptively points out in his work, of dancing within diminishing electromagnetic field strengths, which allow for undreamed of possibilities for all humans, while obscuring from our conscious minds the true patterning of our daily and historical activities. And Charles Hapgood’s work is intriguing in that it describes the surface dynamics of Earth, thereby setting the stage for Joseph Jochmans' depiction of the planet's icosahedral surface structure.

What is missing in all works of this kind, and what I am determined to bring into my own, is a sense of depth. There is, I feel, a disconcerting preoccupation with discrete systems and their surface, or superficial, characteristics, and this includes Earth’s systemic makeup as well as that of collective humanity. These are the established preoccupations within humanity’s activities, and they are begging to be expanded.

To extend the geometric metaphor, Earth’s patternings are not evolving from dodecahedral configurations. Dodecahedral patterns and shapes, no matter how sublime in their repetitions in our Earthbound creation, are clearly built on the rigidity of icosahedral reality. Explore Bucky Fuller’s works and you will discover that the icosahedron is a special case, a standing wave, of a much freer, intertransformable geometry built on the cuboctahedron. And the cuboctahedron is in turn constructed from a conceptual matrix composed of complementary building blocks, the tetrahedron and the octahedron, which exist in their most symmetric, most efficient form, outside of time. This geometry is demonstrable and its inherent rationality allows for multiple dimensionality, parallel universes and true mystical experience.

Joseph Robert Jochmans states that we know from both historical and astronomical observations that Jesus of Nazereth was born in either 5 or 7 B.C.

It is true that Jupiter and Saturn approached each other quite closely in 7 B.C. and that Herod the Great died in 4 B.C.

However, Edgar Cayce states that Jesus was born March 19, 4 A.D.

The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus states that Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great, was a ruler of Jerusalem when Jesus was born.

No Greater Artifact

Whereas NBC aired its prime time special "The Mysterious Origins of Man" on 2/25/96, and a rejoinder to "the (resulting) extreme reaction from the scientific community..." by program producer Bill Cote was printed in your Letters to Issue No. 7, I offer this comment...

There is a sampling of this "extreme reaction" located on Mr. Cote's Web page, quotes from collegiate scientists at various institutions. Such derision is invaluable for assessing whether the consensual reaIity of science became any wiser since a comparable critique of Gallileo's "new" perceptions in his time.

Science is an unbiased examination of the unexplained—NOT an explanation (or judgment) of the unexamined....

Of course, the most obvious artifact which does not fit logical claims of Darwinian theory is the Great Pyramid.

Scientific principle is abdicated, and its credibility eroded, when Egyptologists explain the Great Pyramid’s anomalous perfection of realized construction and purpose as mere coincidence. Following hundreds of years of measurement, the proportional correlations of Earth's planetary geometry to the geopositioning and geostatistical constants factored into this pyramid's architecture could not be duplicated today—even aided by electricity, computers and satellites. However, consensual archaeologists infer the explanatory logic of such a feat as intellectual progress; monumental engineering at an historical stage in the evolution of human intelligence (i.e., math and science) when civilization was elementary at best.

From a systems theory perspective, this is called "putting the cart before the horse"!

The truth is, there is no archaeological artifact of greater magnitude and significance than the Great Pyramid.

And for these reasons, larger numbers of people stand outside of culture, not prepared to accept its assumptions, perceptually or otherwise.

I want you to know that I subscribe to a lot of magazines and yours and Gordon Michael Scallion’s ECR Report are the only ones I read cover to cover and thoroughly enjoy. Your publication gives hope that the future is something to look forward to. The mass media and most people, in my opinion, have no real idea what’s going on nor the power we all have to change things for the good. Thank you for being one of the voices of sanity that may help lead us out of the wilderness we have been lead into over the past 50 years by those who would control our lives, money and even our souls if we let them.

Please keep up your great work. We need to have information that allows us to make decisions that are right for us as individuals and for the earth.

As far as I know there are only two major publications that have discussed Richard Hoagland’s research concerning artificial structures on the moon. One is Omni Magazine and the other is Atlantis Rising. This story is too hot for the establishment but not for you! Keep up the good work.

Atlantis Rising and Laura Lee—a winning combo! Her writing style and the content of her article is as accessible, informative, positive and enjoyable as her radio show.

When I was her guest last fall, Laura and I spoke about the need for a balance of male and female energies, if the sciences, politics etc. of the new millennium are to be more harmonious with nature than those of this century. I hope your magazine will help bring forward that balance. For starters I hope to see more from Laura Lee! Would have liked a photo also of Rose Flem-Ath and something about her contribution to the research.

We just received copies of our newly reprinted (with new cover!) Prodigal Genius, The Life of Nikola Tesla by John J. O’Neill yesterday.

Please see page 329. We took the liberty of printing your address in the book as you have a genuinely interesting publication.

What a publication!!!

I hold three degrees and two professional certificates and I’ve traveled extensively from the U.S. to the world. I have read thousands of publications in my 47 years and A.R. is by far the most exciting, thought provoking, impressive collection of information on the market today.

Since Vietnam I’ve learned that my own government purposefully represses, hides, lies about, conceals, even denies information; the result being, I’m left in the dark on many important matters.

I don’t know where you collect your information but please keep up the ability to fascinate and inform me.

What a publication!!

Extra Copies

When the current issue arrived the other day, there were two copies. I'm not sure what happened—whether you treated this as a renewal or a subscription, but it will not help your profits to send me two copies....

I can’t tell you how much I am enjoying this magazine. If I had to give up all but one, this would be the one!

Because we use many lists and our computer is not always able to detect inevitable duplicates, occasionally our subscribers and others receive more than one copy. Ms. Terrien is a subscriber and has no reason to be concerned about her service. For readers who have not subscribed, it’s another matter. Any free copies received are entirely the result of various promotional mailings which we have undertaken. The only way to be certain of receiving each issue of Atlantis Rising on time is to subscribe by either calling our toll free number, 800-228-8381 or by sending $24.95 (for 6 issues) or $40 (for 12 issues) to the address below.
