117. The Universal Human: Individuality and the Group-Soul 04 Dec 1909, Munich
Translated by Gilbert Church, Sabine H. Seiler

Rudolf Steiner
The races we distinguish today are merely vestiges of these significant differences between human beings in ancient Atlantis. The concept of race is only fully applicable to Atlantis. Because we are dealing with the real evolution of humanity, we have therefore never used this concept of race in its original meaning.
13. Occult Science - An Outline: Man and the Evolution of the World
Translated by George Adams, Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
The continent which then existed between the present Europe, Africa and America may be called in spiritual science, Atlantis. (The above-described period of human evolution, preceding the Atlantean, is dealt with from a certain aspect in the relevant literature.
[ 91 ] It was during evolution in the region of Atlantis that the actual separation of humanity into the men of Saturn, Sun, Jupiter and Mars took place.
The sanctuaries which had been transplanted from Atlantis into Egypt came chiefly from the Oracle of Mercury. There were, however, also others—Venus Oracles for instance.
96. Esoteric Development: Imaginative Knowledge and Artistic Imagination 21 Oct 1906, Berlin
Translated by Gertrude Teutsch, Olin D. Wannamaker, Diane Tatum, Alice Wuslin

Rudolf Steiner
It once had a completely different form. Let us immerse ourselves in Atlantis and still further back: we come there to ever higher temperatures, in which metals were able to flow all around as water runs along today.
90c. Theosophy and Occultism: The Development of Man — Moon and Earth 06 Nov 1903, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
The further we go back in the development of the earth, the higher and higher the temperature becomes. In Atlantis everything was still filled with fog, in Lemuria everything is still filled with hot, fiery vapors.
93a. Foundations of Esotericism: Lecture XVIII 16 Oct 1905, Berlin
Translated by Vera Compton-Burnett, Judith Compton-Burnett

Rudolf Steiner
Only from the last third of the Atlantean epoch, from the time of the original Semites until the time when Atlantis was covered with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, did the frontal etheric head develop the frontal brain.
96. Original Impulses fo the Science of the Spirit: The Way to Higher Knowledge and Its Stages II: Imaginative Perception and Artistic Imagination 21 Oct 1906, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
It once had a completely different form. Let us go back to Atlantis and earlier. There we come to increasingly higher temperatures, with the metals running about the way water runs on earth today.
130. The Mission of Christian Rosenkreutz: The Christ Impulse as Living Reality 18 Nov 1911, Munich
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

Dorothy S. Osmond
By means of certain occult processes there had been transmitted to seven of these twelve wise men, the wisdom that had passed over from Atlantis into the holy Rishis. In four others lived the wisdom of the sacred mysteries of the Indian, Persian, Egyptian and Graeco-Latin epochs respectively.
123. The Gospel of St. Matthew (1965): Lecture II 02 Sep 1910, Bern
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond, Mildred Kirkcaldy

Rudolf Steiner
Where the northern stream which had passed from Atlantis towards Asia met the other stream which had passed from Atlantis through Africa, a remarkable mixture of peoples was produced and a racial stock formed from which the Hebrews subsequently sprang.
124. Excursus on the Gospel According to St. Mark: Lecture One 07 Nov 1910, Berlin
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
But you would form no true picture of the Rischis of India and their pupils if you thought they did not communicate the ancient knowledge of Atlantis faithfully. The high school pupil of to-day, even if he wrote out the whole lecture, would not have reproduced what had been said as faithfully as the Indian Rischis reproduced the ancient knowledge in their day.
While the Rischis appear like holy initiated persons of a far distant age, into whom all the knowledge of ancient Atlantis had poured, Zarathustra comes before us as the first initiate of post-Atlantean times. Something new enters with him.
121. The Mission of the Individual Folk-Souls: Nerthus, Freyja and Gerda. Twilight of the Gods. Vidar and the new Revelation of Christ 17 Jun 1910, Oslo
Translated by A. H. Parker

Rudolf Steiner
These Saturn-, Jupiter-, Mars-, Venus-, and Mercury-souls then descended upon Earth and this descent can still be verified today in the Akashic Records. During the Atlantean epoch the air of Atlantis was permeated with watery mists and through these mists those on Earth beheld with the old Atlantean clairvoyance the descent of these souls out of the Cosmos.
We realize, therefore, that Nordic man was always aware of spiritual impulses, that he felt within his gradually evolving soul the workings of this old vision of the Gods which was still natural to man here when, in those ancient times, the watery mists of Atlantis still covered the region. Nordic man felt within him some spark of a God who was directly descended from those divine-spiritual Beings, those Archangels who directed the union of soul-and-spirit with the terrestrial and physical.
