Not far from the Oregon border in Northern California is a beautiful extinct volcano called Mt. Shasta. There is also a city named after it called Mt Shasta City. I have been there and it is a quaint little town with the normal everyday businesses and of the not so normal metaphysical shops. You know the kind of shops you see in Boulder Colorado or Sedona Arizona, or other “meccas” for the weird.
Living as we do in the Pacific Northwest, many of us have heard of the unusual legends surrounding Mt Shasta. For years there have been tall tales of an ancient race living in it’s center. Similar to the “lost tribes hollow Earth” myth that has been around for years. Most of us who are reasonably sane, dismiss these tales as simply make-believe. Oddly enough, there are a lot of people who actually believe in this nonsense. How anyone with a basic understanding of modern science, astronomy, or biology, not to mention common sense, could actually believe these stories astounds me.
To get an understanding of how nutty this is, here is a look at the tales of the Lemurians. Keep in mind while you read this that there are actually a good number of people who believe this.
According to the wackos, Mt Shasta is a “mystic power and sacred incarnation of The Great Central Sun of this universe” (what the hell does that mean) Apparently they believe it’s “etheric purple pyramid’s capstone reaches into space and connects us intergalactially to the Confederation of Planets in this sector of The Milky Way.” (apparently these people read a lot of science fiction) Supposedly, the mountain is the “focus for angels, spirit guides, spaceships, masters of the Light Realm, and home of the survivors of Ancient Lemuria” They believe that “high mountains are Beacons of Light that feed the light grids of this planet.” (It sounds like a Star Trek Fans gone wild huh? And we are just getting started here because it gets even stranger.
Apparently a race called the Lemurians, who survived the sinking of Lemuria 12,000 years ago, live in a subterranean city under Mt Shasta called “Telos.” The supposed Lemurians are clairvoyant, live in physical immortal bodies, and are masters of energy, crystals, and sound vibrations. When Lemuria was going to sink they hollowed out Mt Shasta and moved there with all their records.
Along with the Lemurians who can make themselves invisiable, there are “little people”, and a race of Bigfoots (or is it Bigfeet?) also living on Mt Shasta along with some other animals who can also make themselves invisible at will. This is because they live in the “third 1/2 dimension” but the Lemurians live in the fifth dimension (the age of Aquarius)…..are you following me? It is claimed by the nutjobs that the Lemurians can control technology with their minds and that they fly in and out of Mt Shasta on spaceships. These ships are called the “Silver Fleet” and can fly invisible and without sound. (this is very convenient for people who do not have to produce a shred of evidence to get other “sheep” to follow them) They claim that Mt Shasta is also an inter-planetary and inter-galactic multi-dimensional portal. Wow!
Keep in mind I am leaving out some details and and there is even more maddness.
Several “spiritual groups or truth seekers” (nutjobs) live in the Mt Shasta area because they have “heard the call of the mountain to come home and remember their ancient Lemurian origins.”
These group claim the Lemurians are seven feet tall, with slender necks. They are graceful, have flowing hair and wear sandals and robes with beaded collars of precious stones. They can teleport, read minds, and speak a language called Solara Maru. They also speak English with a slight British accent. (I wonder if they would be as well received if they were short and squatty, grunted, and smelled like shit and garlic)
So how and when did all this insanity start?
There is a story about a Dr. Doreal who years ago claimed he visited the Lemurians inside their mountain. He said suspended in the center of the great cavern was a giant glowing orb that lit the inside of the cavern like daylight. Now, I don’t know about you but I want my doctor to be a little more reality based. Another man said he fell asleep on Mt Shasta and the some Lemurians led him inside the mountain which was paved with gold. Personally, I think LSD or magic mushrooms caused the Lamerians to “appear.”
Among the “truth seekers” there is a head nutjob who calls herself Aurelia Louise Jones. She claims do do channeling and also claims that several of the top Lemurians speak through her. She says one named Adama, is the head of the Lamurian Council of Light in Telos and a diplomat for Galactic contacts with our “Star Brothers and Sisters”
So here is where it gets even more nutty (if that is even possible). Apparantly Adama is in charge of a special project he has been working on with Buddha, Christ, and other ancient religious leaders, along with various other galactic beings on a very important crystalline grid around the planet. (I have to give these people credit for their vivid imaginations.)
What is a little creepy and frightening is that there are people who really bel;ieve this crap. They could be your doctor, kids teacher or police officers and could be clinically insane or at the very least, overly obsessed with Star Wars. Are they so stoned out of their mind they have completely separated from reality? Who knows exactly why because many different people have jumped on the “Lemurian bandwagon” ether for financial gain or because of mental illness. I can understand someone making shit up to make a buck, religions do the same thing. But like religion, just because a lot of people believe something doesn’t mean it’s real. But I suspect that many of these “truthseekers” are people who need attention or need to feel special, like they belong to something bigger. Like UFO enthusiasts and those who claim to have been abducted by aliens, they desire and need to belong so badly they can convince themselves of almost anything. Who wants to be someone who just works in a grocery store or call center when you can convince a bunch of other idiots you talk to aliens?
So, for now, hats off to Lemurian believers everywhere. It takes a lot of imagination combined with insanity to pull off something this idiotic, let alone to get others to follow you into the nuthouse. Who knows, perhaps one day the government will let you be tax exempt as a religion also….then again, perhaps they already are.
Wow, what an asshole. ASSuming things don’t exist just because you haven’t experienced them. That makes you as nutty as the people you’re calling nutty. If believing in things that people can’t discern with the five senses makes then mentally ill, than 2 billion people on this planet who believe in god or a god are crazy as well as all the kids who believe in the tooth fairy, etc. That’s what hinders progress; don’t ASSume and knock something just because it seems “out of this world” untill you have delved into it. Until the late 80′s, a prehistoric fish that once existed but was ASSumed to be extinct was found off the coast of South Africa. It’s name was the coelecanth. When you just “dismiss” something simply because it sounds too fanciful, you start to sound like the religious nutjobs you probably knock. ASSumption is the enemy of progress. Go find the truth!
What hinders progress is religious or other beliefs in myths, fairy tales, and idiocy. Many people want to believe in fantastic and magical stories so that they can feel “special” and part of something interesting. Watching a Harry Potter movie or even the new movie Avatar was fun and a wonderful escape but when people confuse stories and fantasy with reality they are mentally impaired. There is a BIG difference between finding an ancient species still living in the ocean and a tall tale about aliens living inside of a mountain. When people who claim to be mystics show some proof OTHER than their feelings or premonitions, I will be the first to shake their hand. Bring out a Lemurian and have him/her/ appear on the Letterman Show. At least they actually found a coelecanth. Progress means thinking with our brains and not basing our lives on warm fuzzy feelings or wild tales from people who think aliens talk to them in their dreams.
We used to believe the world is flat its narrow mindedness like this that slows progress. I mean even if they are not right at least there looking once you’ve been out there and checked it out your just another know it all on the web. Welcome to the club
Wow, What an asshole. ASSuming the need to post the comment four times just because they didn’t agree is a dick move. What I think has happened here with Mt. Shasta is the age old, “OMG it’s so beautiful, has to be supernatural, because things aren’t that beautiful in mundane life with cars and streetlights!” It’s sad, really. Why can’t people just acknowledge how utterly beautiful life is, and leave the rest of the junk behind?
I’d also like to know 1.) What in the hell does the coelecanth have anything to do with this? The question over extinction of the innards and the plethora of spiritual existences of Mt. Shasta wasn’t the point and it has yet to be discovered that it ever will be. 2.) You mentioned the truth as if it were some strange unhidden esoteric knowledge, yet you failed to mention what the truth is. Instead you began to mock someone because they mocked someone, which makes about as much sense as something that makes no fucking sense. I can’t imagine how people like Raven find their way in this life.
Well, I *can* understand how batty this all sounds. Clearly you’ve read, in detail, the Telos material from Jones. I suppose if you went back to, say, the year 50A.D., and told people ” I come from a time where we use flat little metal boxes to talk to and even see people thousands of miles away, we have access to all the info you could ever want via an invisible network of information that you access with slightly bigger metal boxes, and we use something called ” lasers” to do surgeries and fix people without ever cutting them open, and we drive really fast in metal horses & fly anywhere we want on giant metal birds – including into space – plus we can totally annihilate entire lands with magic “zap” stuff called nuclear bombs”…. well, they’d surely think you were utterly crazy too. It is, of course, somewhat extraordinary imagination to truly believe that we are absolutely the only people in the universe, in the only inhabitable dimension, and we just popped up out of some muck millions of years ago. Consider that we may be the “slow learners” in a very big universe (multiverse, even) and the rest of the more developed beings are wondering when we’ll stop warring each other, living so introvertedly as a race, start respecting the other kingdoms (e.g. animals) on earth, and learn to focus on our spiritual development. It’s just a thought. Life may not be as straightforward as it seems..
Thanks for your comment Dale. I do agree that we are probably NOT the only living thing/entity/beings in the entire universe. I also agree that if someone tried to explain then future and now present technology to someone in 50 AD, they would find that person a little wacky. I do find it interesting that when someone “discovers” a new race or “beings from another planet” they are always human or human like and always posess the type of buildings, transportation, or technology WE would deem important. Take for example…..roads paved with gold??? We assume gold is important to these “discovered beings” because WE think gold is valuable. We imagine these beings are always beautiful and graceful with flowing hair and are genuinely interested in mankind. Funny how we don’t “discover” beings that are as ugly and stumpy as hell with no interest is us what so ever isn’t it? Given the vastness of space while there may possible be another planet inhabited by another lifeform, we cannot assume they are even remotely human OR want to pave their roads with gold (which would be a little too soft for paving don’t you think?) I think it is more likely someone had a very active imagination and that others wanted to believe this because it made them feel special and part of something big and exciting.
Superb wordpress blog, keep me personally from checking it, I am truly interested to find out much more about it.
Have been searching for some decent information on this for awhile now thats for the great article.
Thanks. I live not to far from Mount Shasta and when you visit there, it can be a little strange….but fun none the less.
Thanks. I am open to suggestions and even submissions.
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the great work Look forward to reading more from you in the future. I think it will be also nice if you add “send to email” tool so people can forward the articles to their friends easily.
