gy for Today?

As there is no definite location or exact timing, let us look at the symbolism of Atlantis (24). The numerological meaning of 24 includes hard work towards building solid foundations, practicality and organisation, honesty, integrity, dependability, responsibility and inner wisdom. All of this was required to build the utopia that Atlantis represents and what would be required to rebuild it in the present. Reduce the 24 to a single digit 6, and we find the focus on teamwork, cooperation, family, domestic life and harmonious relationships; again all necessary to build a united and sustainable community.

For many, Atlantis represents a perfect world that is eventually destroyed by human failings, mostly greed and laziness. All Atlanteans had the same abilities yet eventually some handed over their personal responsibility to others, creating a ‘those that can’ and ‘those that do’ situation. Soon, this became a society that had workers to support the lives of those that became all-powerful leaders, making decisions for the rest. Sound familiar? same purpose? Either way it doesn’t matter.

We can see the same thread of loss running through other stories: Noah’s Ark, King Arthur’s Camelot and Iram of the Pillars (Quran) to name a few. They all tell of a moral, spiritual people, living in a highly advanced, utopian society that became greedy and petty, leading to moral turpitude and eventual eradication. These are legends of course; however, historically there are many actual lands that have sunk beneath the waves throughout the world.

Are we ready to allow ourselves to sink under the waves or can we change the way we conduct ourselves and our lives? It is not ideal to say “But I am only one”, as each ‘One’ adds to the many, until it creates a critical mass and the tide turns. So, let us take Atlantis as our mantra and reclaim our personal power in every aspect of our life to recreate Utopia!

So, are the legends simply a way of reminding us of the need to change our ways, or is the story of Atlantis the first actual land to be used for the
