300a. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner I: Third Meeting 26 Sep 1919, Stuttgart
Translated by Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

Rudolf Steiner
Here in the Lemurian/Mesozoic period, the plant realm arises, and here in the Cenozoic period, Atlantis, the mineral realm arises, actually already in the last period, in these two earlier periods already (in the last two sub-races of the Lemurian period).
Those are not genuine remains. You cannot say it was like it was in Atlantis. There, things remained and to an extent also at the end of the Lemurian period, but as to the carbon period, we cannot say that there are any plant remains.
89. Awareness—Life—Form: Symbols reflecting original wisdom 27 Mar 1905, Berlin
Translated by Anna R. Meuss

Rudolf Steiner
Speech only evolved in the main age preceding our time, in Atlantis. The Atlanteans lived on a continent which no longer exists and under completely different circumstances than those we know today.
68a. The Essence of Christianity: The Children of Lucifer 14 Dec 1906, Leipzig

Rudolf Steiner
The air circle was not only a mass of water, but filled with substances that had not yet settled. The land that emerged later, Atlantis, was submerged by floods. With it perished the fourth root race. The civilization of the fifth root race is spread over Europe, Asia and Africa.
104a. Reading the Pictures of the Apocalypse: Part II. Lecture IV 13 May 1909, Oslo
Translated by James H. Hindes

Rudolf Steiner
We can describe this history only in separate characteristic features. Let us look back to ancient Atlantis; human beings were still in their soul and spiritual home during life on earth. During the ancient Indian age human beings were still in the spiritual world at night and after they passed through the gate of death.
118. The Reappearance of Christ in the Etheric: The Etheric Vision of the Future 10 May 1910, Hanover
Translated by Barbara Betteridge, Ruth Pusch, Diane Tatum, Alice Wuslin, Margaret Ingram de Ris

Rudolf Steiner
We are approaching an era in which the ascent to higher worlds must take place with clear, clairvoyant consciousness. The old clairvoyance of Atlantis expired in 3101 BC, and then the time came when human beings began to perceive everything around themselves with an understanding bound to the brain.
110. Spiritual Hierarchies Q & A: Questions And Answers I 21 Apr 1909, Düsseldorf
Translated by Steiner Online Library

Rudolf Steiner
At first, man lived together with these beings; he lived together with gods, for these beings only withdrew later and only became “gods” in the late Atlantean period. In Atlantis itself, men and gods still lived side by side. The human line of development went downward, that of the gods upward.
284. Images of Occult Seals and Columns: Planetary Evolution and the Evolution of Humanity 20 May 1907, Munich

Rudolf Steiner
If you look back to the ancient Atlantean times, the predecessor of our present time, when man lived on Atlantis – which science has at least already discovered for the animal world – you have the human ancestor who does not yet possess the same consciousness as the human being of today, who can calculate and manufacture industrial objects.
You would find that physically, too, this old Atlantis differs quite considerably from the configuration of the earth today. What we call air and water today was not yet there.
119. Macrocosm and Microcosm: The Egyptian Mysteries of Osiris and Isis 25 Mar 1910, Vienna
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond, Charles Davy

Rudolf Steiner
Not indeed into the mineral kingdom as it is now, but as it was at the time when it came into existence in the ancient Lemurian epoch. Our present epoch followed that of Atlantis, and the Lemurian epoch preceded Atlantis. Before the great Atlantean catastrophe the face of the Earth was quite different from what it is today.
180. Ancient Myths: Their Meaning and Connection with Evolution: The Theory of Heredity, Old Isis Inscription 08 Jan 1918, Dornach
Translated by Mabel Cotterell

Rudolf Steiner
We will use it as a means of further studying the riddle that was first propounded. Now when the time of the flooding of Atlantis, the submergence of Atlantis, which separates our post-Atlantean culture from the Atlantean culture, had passed by, the first post-Atlantean culture-epoch arose.
289. The Ideas Behind the Building of the Goetheanum: Guided Tour of the Goetheanum 25 Aug 1921, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
But when one experiences what was experienced in the ancient Indian culture in the relationship between the disciple and the guru, the teacher, one feels as if the ancient Indian did not have a skullcap, but as if it had evaporated and as if he were not the one human being who lives in his skin, but one feels as a sevenfold being, as if his soul power was composed of the seven soul rays of the holy Rishis of ancient Atlantis, enlightening him, and that he then communicated to his world that which he revealed, not from his own spirit but from the spirit of the holy Rishis.
The intuitive perception has first placed itself in ancient India, in ancient Atlantis. That which can be seen there has been painted on the wall here, and only afterwards can one speculate when it is there.
