121. The Mission of the Individual Folk-Souls: Loki - Hodur and Baldur - Twilight of the Gods 15 Jun 1910, Oslo
Translated by A. H. Parker

Rudolf Steiner
In this context I have indicated that the members of the ancient Indian civilization who had been able in Atlantis to perceive the spiritual world by means of the old clairvoyance still prevalent at that time were in some respects the very first who experienced an immediate transition from this clairvoyant state to a consciousness of the physical world.
104. The Apocalypse of St. John: Lecture IV 21 Jun 1908, Nuremberg
Translated by Mabel Cotterell

Rudolf Steiner
A smaller part, living in a region near to our present Ireland, developed to the highest flower of the civilization of Atlantis and then journeyed towards the East. We must clearly understand that this was only the principal stream.
104. The Apocalypse of St. John: Lecture VII 24 Jun 1908, Nuremberg
Translated by Mabel Cotterell

Rudolf Steiner
Previously he was above in the spiritual world. In Atlantis he still had a dim clairvoyance. He now comes down and reaches the line during the period of the Roman Empire.
105. Universe, Earth and Man: Lecture X 14 Aug 1908, Stuttgart
Translated by Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
Only those who turn to a spiritual life will survive the catastrophe, which, in this case, means the war of all against all, just as only a small group of people escaped from the catastrophes of Lemuria and Atlantis. The war of all against all will be still more terrible for those involved in it than were those of fire and water, however terrible we may picture them to have been.
106. Egyptian Myths and Mysteries: The Ancient Egyptian Doctrine of Evolution 13 Sep 1908, Leipzig
Translated by Norman MacBeth

Rudolf Steiner
The forms in Lemuria were different from those in Atlantis. In those times beings went through much more rapid changes than they do now. In addition, these forms were still filled with spirit.
99. Theosophy of the Rosicrucian: The Nature of Initiation 06 Jun 1907, Munich
Translated by Mabel Cotterell, Dorothy S. Osmond

Rudolf Steiner
It has been said that the inhabitants of old Atlantis could perceive wisdom in all that surrounded them. The further we go back into the far past, the more we find states of consciousness through which men were able to perceive the creative powers which pervade the world, the spiritual beings which surround us.
101. Myths and Legends, Occult Signs and Symbols: Norse and Persian Myths 14 Oct 1907, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
We said that the part of the Germanic myth that we discussed then ties in with the exodus of the chosen few near present-day Ireland, which was once part of Atlantis, whose population had advanced in development and then moved east. What is called the more advanced race of the Atlanteans founded the eastern cultures.
102. The Influence of Spiritual Beings on Man: Lecture III 15 Feb 1908, Berlin
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
These teachers were beings of Venus and Mercury, and they went on working far beyond the Age of Atlantis. But they are not to be looked on as we look on our present teachers; the Venus beings must rather be thought of as those who endowed man with his intellectuality.
211. Exoteric And Esoteric Christianity 02 Apr 1922, Dornach
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
He who learns to know Ahriman since the Mystery of Golgotha and he who knew him before, knows that Ahriman has waited for the world-historic moment in which he will not only invade the unconscious and subconscious in man, as in the case since the days of Atlantis (you know this through myOccult Science), but will invade also man's consciousness. If we apply human expressions to the willing of gods, we might say that Ahriman has waited with longing for the moment in which to invade human consciousness with his power.
211. Exoteric And Esoteric Christianity 02 Apr 1922, Dornach
Translated by Dorothy S. Osmond

Rudolf Steiner
Those who have knowledge of Ahriman as he has been since the Mystery of Golgotha and as he was before that Event, realise that he waits for the moment when he can invade, not only the unconscious, subconscious regions of man's life—which as you know from the book Occult Science, have been open to Ahriman's influence since the time of Atlantis—but also the spheres of man's consciousness. Using words of human language to describe the will of a God, it may be said: Ahriman has waited eagerly for the opportunity to carry his influence into the conscious life of man.
