177. The Fall of the Spirits of Darkness: The Elemental Spirits of Birth and Death 06 Oct 1917, Dornach
Translated by Anna R. Meuss

Rudolf Steiner
Our own civilization was saved and brought across from Atlantis, as I have described elsewhere, and you will recall my descriptions of what happened in the Atlantean age.
I have made brief reference to the causes of destruction in Atlantis. The commercial, industrial and technological civilization which is now in its beginnings harbours elements which will lead to the decline and fall of the fifth earth period.
233. World History in the light of Anthroposophy: Evolution of the Soul and of Memory 24 Dec 1923, Dornach
Translated by George Adams, Mary Adams, Dorothy S. Osmond

Rudolf Steiner
The period we have thus defined as the transition from localised memory to rhythmic memory is the time when ancient Atlantis was declining and the first Post-Atlantean peoples were wandering eastward in the direction of Asia. For we have first the wanderings from ancient Atlantis—the continent that to-day forms the bed of the Atlantic Ocean—right across Europe into Asia, and later the wanderings back again from Asia into Europe.
278. Eurythmy as Visible Singing: Experience and Gesture; the Intervals 20 Feb 1924, Dornach
Translated by Alan P. Stott

Rudolf Steiner
The experience of the seventh (sounding either harmonically or melodically) involves those sounds which were especially favoured in the world of ancient Atlantis; it was the interval that gave them special delight. [10] Why was this? It was because in the epoch of ancient Atlantis, people's experience of going outside themselves was still a positive one.
90b. Self-Knowledge and God-Knowledge II: The Old Norse Sagas of the Gods 22 Mar 1905, Düsseldorf

Rudolf Steiner
In the old Norse mythology, King Atli – Atlanti – emerges from the Atlantean era. He is the great Atlantean initiate. He only shies away from the representative of the Christian initiate, the Pope.
94. An Esoteric Cosmology: The Evolution of Planets and Earth 11 Jun 1906, Paris
Translated by René M. Querido

Rudolf Steiner
The further we go back in the periods of evolution, the higher the temperature. Atlantis was bathed in hot vapours. In earlier times still, the air was pure warmth; before that again, fire.
130. Esoteric Christianity and the Mission of Christian Rosenkreutz: The Christ Impulse as Living Reality II 20 Nov 1911, Munich
Translated by Pauline Wehrle

Rudolf Steiner
By means of certain occult processes, the wisdom that had passed over from Atlantis to the holy Rishis had been transmitted to seven of these twelve men. In four others lived the wisdom of the sacred mysteries of the Indian, Persian, Egyptian and Greco-Roman epochs respectively.
266-I. Esoteric Lessons 1904–1909: Introduction

Rudolf Steiner
Then followed the Greek period, in which the memory of Atlantis was particularly alive and permeated the mystery being. It had a “secret esotericism”. It no longer shaped directly into the physical and bodily, but it became indirectly effective through the experience of the soul in the awakening consciousness.
90a. Self-Knowledge and God-Knowledge I: The Origin of Karma 14 Nov 1904, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
We would have to find the ancestors of our horse in the debris of Atlantis. The uppermost layer of the earth is alluvium, under it diluvium, further tertiary layers.
90b. Self-Knowledge and God-Knowledge II: The Apocalypse of John II 19 Mar 1905, Cologne

Rudolf Steiner
The previous root race was the Atlantean one, which lived on the lost continent of Atlantis. They did not yet have our thinking mind, they still had an [intuitive] visual faculty. Spiritual life within, in the sense of the material age, is called a 'sealed book' in the occult language.
93. The Manicheans 11 Nov 1904, Berlin
Translated by J. W. Haslett

Rudolf Steiner
The guiding forces of the Lemurian epoch would work evil in a later epoch if they were then still mingled in evolution. In ancient epochs, in Atlantis and Lemuria, all knowledge was in part influenced by that which stands above man. Not until our own epoch have men matured to the stage where they have, as brothers, human beings who have passed through all stages since the middle of the Lemurian Race.
