Having researched the Atlantean Conspiracy for the better part of a decade now, it is clear that Plato's legend of Atlantis is an allegory just like his allegory of the cave. Considering that "Atlas" the so-called King of Atlantis is also the medical term for the 33rd vertebrae of the human spine, it seems the Atlantean Tree of Life references the spinal column, the "world on Atlas' shoulders" is your skull which rests on the Atlas vertebrae, Atlas' mythic 7 daughters Hesperides represent the 7 chakras, and the snake Ladon wrapped around the tree is your Kundalini serpent energy. The 3 concentric rings of land and water in Atlantis also parallels the structure of our brains. Our skulls on the outside covered by a layer of blood represent Atlantis' first layer of land and water, our cerebral cortex and the small pool of cerebro-spinal fluid surrounding the pineal gland represent the second layer of land and water, and our third-eyes, the "bull's eye," at the geometric center of our brains represents the inner sanctum of Atlantis, the temple between your temples.
Certain elements of Plato's story, do however have underlaying literal truths as well, such as the idea of an advanced pre-historic civilization and a massive flood raising sea levels. The existence of huge megaliths and pyramids which still cannot be duplicated with modern technology, and common etymology across world languages suggest as the Indian Vedas and the Atlantean mythos espouse, that over ten thousand years ago the world was in a golden age and in many ways humans were more evolved, more intelligent, more in touch with nature and lived much longer than present day peoples. In the video below, Thomas Sheridan proposes another fascinating take on this ancient allegory as a 2D outline for hierarchical social control.

I want to thank you, because your very interesting article inspired me to find this one also, Reading Plato’s Allegory of the Cave as Matricide and Theacide by Carol P. Christ
fascinating.
Hey Eric. Just found your website like a month ago and I have been really fascinated at your topics. Although reading quite a few posts and such, I cannot establish what you believe. Do you have a set belief or are you still searching like myself?
Thanks guys, for Anon, I'm constantly researching and refining my viewpoints on various subjects like all sincere truth-seekers, so I'm glad to hear you cannot establish what I "believe," as I'm not a big fan of that word anyway :) Peace
Cool, i'm kinda in the same state of mind after reading so much different "truths". So basically, you believe in yourself :-)
Hey Eric, I have a story i'd like to share with you perhaps you can give some insight on what it might mean.
A few years ago while I was extensively researching God, religion, etc I stumbled across information that opened up a whole new world/mindset for me. Anyway, it was early that night when I went outside to take washing off the line and when I was almost done I heard a noise on the roof. As I looked up I saw a big, grey owl just staring at me. I got a chill and as I bent down for like a second to pick up the bucket I looked up and it was gone. Take into consideration I never heard it flying away and I think that if such a big bird took off I would surely hear it as the roof is only like 8 meters high. BTW this owl was like a meter tall and I live in a suburban area where there shouldn't be owls. Now, I know it means something so i'm hoping you can share some insight. Peace.
Cool story Vdot! I'm afraid I have no idea what it might mean though. The only thing I've written about regarding owls is The Bohemian Grove Symbolism :)
Thanks Eric. I have read that owls symbolize wisdom. Other places say it symbolizes evil. So you see my dilemma. I know it means something and I want to know exactly what. Don't know if it's a good thing or bad thing. Thanks, keep up the good work.
Vdot, if I may offer some kind of reply to your question also, because I have a deep interest in mythology. OWLS are wonderful beings and are innocent--that is first thing, as are serpents and toads etc etc.
HOWEVER depending on who is using them for their symbol depends whether they are being seen as evil or good. Exacmple, in the biblical Garden of Eden myth, which is writ by a patriarchal mindset, it demonizes the mythical meaning of serpent whereas far more anciently than that tale, and way before writing even came into its own, the Serpent represents the Great Mother and a whole host of association which include: symbolizing the sacred cycles of life and death and regeneration, because snakes slough off old skin and have new skin underneath; as guardians of the Tree of Life to symbolisz that psychedelic fruits gan give the eater psychic powers, and if not respected and eaten and experienced with wisdon, psychic powers can do great destruction --hence "wise as serpents". Now IF you are familiar with the evil sorcery all over 9/11, 7/77 etc etc etc, you will see that this lesson is right-in-theface-in the 21st century. Some researchers call these occult groups as originating from the 'brotherhood of the serpent' traced back to Babylon, so even anciently they have ripped off the benign serpent symbolism to try and mean their evil control-freakery and bloody doings. So it is WISE to learn and know about the ROOT meanings of these symbols so as to undermine the occultists grip on our sub-conscious via THEIR interpretation of them! Same with the Owl--the Owl also means wisdom, but the powers-that-shouldn't be--according to Mark Passion--use that symbol to mean themselves being able to see in the dark and swoop down for the kill, and noone is the wiser--also called hidden-in-plain-sight. That this is ALSO actually going on---just ask some family members, friends etc what they know about the occult clues of 9/11 (if they even know 9/11 was an inside job!) and see what they say. In my personal experience many people--even big names in consciousness research--tend to avoid this inquiry. You get a taboo-like silence.
Thanks Muz. But what does my experience signify? Is it warning me to stay away from my research (which I won't do) or is it showing me that I can finally see in the "Dark", that I have woken up.
VDOT, the Owl is a symbol of wisdom. The owl is wise. Do not let any "usurpers" change _your_ truth. Be the owl, embody the owl, do not let some other usurp your owl. Do not let some "others" usurp The Owl. As a lover of owls, I do not like the pretenders', pretending they understand something they are just using in a human game of power. The Owl doesn't care.
Be careful with Thomas Sheridan.
