124. Excursus on the Gospel According to St. Mark: The Path of Theosophy from Former Ages until Now 10 Jun 1911, Berlin
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
This spirit that is active at present as the Rosicrucian spirit goes back to very early ages of humanity. Its mysteries existed in Atlantis. The activity it has recently developed, becoming ever more and more conscious, streamed not so very long ago in an unconscious way into the hearts and souls of men.
129. Wonders of the World: Dionysos as the representative of the ego-forces 21 Aug 1911, Munich
Translated by Dorothy Lenn, Owen Barfield

Rudolf Steiner
All the great spiritual Beings who lead humanity forwards, whether as Angels, Archangels or Archai, have at some time since Atlantis been open to the Christ Impulse, just as at the lowest level man was open to it through the Mystery of Golgotha.
130. The Etherisation of the Blood 01 Oct 1911, Basel
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
Light itself is being destroyed in this post-Atlantean age of the Earth's existence, which until the time of Atlantis was a progressive process. Since then it has been a process of decay.* What is light? Light decays and the decaying light is electricity.
103. The Gospel of St. John: The Seven Degrees of Initiation 23 May 1908, Hamburg
Translated by Maud B. Monges

Rudolf Steiner
If in spirit we look back over human evolution to the time when mankind still lived upon an ancient Continent lying between Europe and America, upon ancient Atlantis, passing over from there into the later post-Atlantean period, we can see how generation after generation has at last led right up to ourselves.
105. Universe, Earth and Man: Lecture XI 16 Aug 1908, Stuttgart
Translated by Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
Europeans may feel strong objections to the caste system, but it was justified in the civilization of that time, and is profoundly connected with human karma. The souls coming over from Atlantis were really of very different values, and in some respects it was suitable for these souls, of whom some were at a more advanced stage than others, to be divided in accordance with the karma they had previously stored up for themselves.
138. Initiation, Eternity and the Passing Moment: Lecture V 29 Aug 1912, Munich
Translated by Gilbert Church

Rudolf Steiner
If you now turn to the book, Cosmic Memory: Atlantis and Lemuria, was man's development in old Lemurian times a kind of transition from such a state as we have in sleep into a waking state?
97. The Christian Mystery (2000): Christian Initiation and Rosicrucian Training 22 Feb 1907, Vienna
Translated by Anna R. Meuss

Rudolf Steiner
But the physical conditions were completely different then. Atlantis was always in darkness, enveloped in masses of dense fog. It is important for you to know this.
89. Awareness—Life—Form: Draft of a Spiritual Cosmology Berlin
Translated by Anna R. Meuss

Rudolf Steiner
These three basic principles, each in 7 stages or metamorphoses, were mentioned here for the first time. See also Cosmic Memory. Atlantis and Lemuria (GA 11), and lectures and lecture courses in the years that followed, up to 1907/08.
Concerning the term ‘race’, Rudolf Steiner wrote in essays published in 1904 - 1908 (in GA 11, see Cosmic Memory. Atlantis and Lemuria; Tr. K. E. Zimmer; New York: Rudolf Steiner publications 1971), chapter on the life of the earth: ‘We have to be utterly clear about it that the evolutional forms of the far distant past and those of the future are completely different from those of the present time, so much so that the terms we use at present may only serve as emergency solution and really lose all meaning when it comes to those distant ages.
255b. Anthroposophy and its Opponents: Religious Opponents III 05 Jun 1920, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
And then the talk continues about the Akasha Chronicle as a real old writing that is said to have been found in a country called Atlantis. Strangely enough, according to the articles that are in circulation here, this country of Atlantis is said to have been situated between Australia and Asia and at the same time between Europe and America.
188. Goetheanism as an Impulse for Man's Transformation: Human Qualities Which Oppose Antroposophy 10 Jan 1919, Dornach
Translated by Violet E. Watkin

Rudolf Steiner
Already by the beginning of this century, as you know, I had published communications from the so-called Akashic Record, information which I venture to say rested upon personal experience, as does all the rest of what I impart out of the spiritual world. (see Atlantis and Lemuria) When these communications were read by a prominent member of the Theosophical Society people could hardly understand how it arose.
