The Edgar Cayce Readings
Continent and Culture of Atlantis
Readings Extract - Division of Body into Two Sexes
READING: 364-3
In the period, then - some hundred, some ninety-eight thousand
years before the entry of Ram into India - there lived in this land
of Atlantis one Amilius. (Aryans into India 2000 BC = 100,000 years
BC) there lived in this land of Atlantis one Amilius [?], who had
first NOTED that of the separations of the beings as inhabited that
portion of the earth's sphere or plane of those peoples into male and
female as separate entities, or individuals. As to their forms in the
physical sense, these were much RATHER of the nature of THOUGHT
FORMS, or able to push out OF THEMSELVES in that direction in which
its development took shape in thought - much in the way and manner as
the amoeba would in the waters of a stagnant bay, or lake, in the
present. As these took form, by the gratifying of their own desire
for that as builded or added to the material conditions, they became
hardened or set -much in the form of the existent human body of the
day, with that of color as partook of its surroundings much in the
manner as the chameleon in the present. Hence coming into that form
as the red, or the mixture peoples - or colors; known then later by
the associations as the RED race. These, then, able to use IN their
gradual development all the forces as were manifest in their
individual surroundings, passing through those periods of
developments as has been followed more closely in that of the yellow,
the black, or the white races, in other portions of the world; yet
with their immediate surroundings, with the facilities for the
developments, these became much speedier in this particular portion
of the globe than in others - and while the destruction of this
continent and the peoples are far beyond any of that as has been kept
as an absolute record, that record in the rocks still remains - as
has that influence OF those peoples in that life of those peoples to
whom those that did escape during the periods of destruction make or
influence the lives of those peoples TO whom they came.

(Q) Explain the information given regarding Amilius [?], who
first noted the separation of the peoples into male and female, as it
relates to the story in the Bible of Adam and Eve, in the Garden of
Eden giving the name of the symbols Adam, Eve, the apple, and the
serpent. (A) This would require a whole period of a lecture period
for this alone; for, as is seen, that as is given is the presentation
of a teacher of a peoples that separated for that definite purpose of
keeping alive in the minds, the hearts, the SOUL minds of entities,
that there may be seen their closer relationship to the divine
influences of Creative Forces, that brought into being all that
appertains to man's indwelling as man in the form of flesh in this
material world. These are presented in symbols of that thought as
held by those peoples from whom the physical recorder took those
records as compiled, with that gained by himself in and through the
entering into that state where the entity's soul mind drew upon the
records that are made by the passing of time itself in a material
world. As given, these are records not only of the nature as has been
termed or called akashic records (that is, of a mental or soul
record), but that in a more material nature as set down in stone,
that was attempted to be done - HAS been attempted to be done
throughout ALL time! WHY does man NOW set in stone those that are
representatives of that desired to be kept in mind by those making
records for future generations? There are many more materials more
lasting, as is known to many. In the records, then, as this: There
are, as seen, the records made by the man in the mount, that this
Amilius [?] - Adam, as given - first discerned that from himself, not
of the beasts about him, could be drawn - WAS drawn - that which made
for the propagation OF beings IN the flesh, that made for that
companionship as seen by creation in the material worlds about same.
The story, the tale (if chosen to be called such), is one and the
same. The apple, as 'the apple of the eye', the desire of that
companionship innate in that created, as innate in the Creator, that
brought companionship into the creation itself. Get that one! In this
there comes, then, that which is set before that created - or having
TAKEN ON that form, able of projecting itself in WHATEVER direction
it chose to take, as given; able to make itself OF that environ, in
color, in harmony, in WHATEVER source that makes for the spirit of
that man would attempt to project in music, in art, in ANY form that
may even be conceivable to the mind itself in what may be termed its
most lucid moments, in its most esoteric moments, in its highest
animation moments; for were He not the SON of the living God made
manifest, that He might be the companion in a made world, in material
manifested things, with the injunction to subdue all, BRING all in
the material things under subjection - all UNDER subjection - by that
ability to project itself IN its way? KNOWING itself, as given, to be
a portion OF the whole, in, through, of, by the whole? In this
desire, then, keep - as the injunction was - thine self separate: OF
that seen, but NOT that seen. The apple, then, that desire for that
which made for the associations that bring carnal-minded influences
of that brought as sex influence, known in a material world, and the
partaking of same is that which brought the influence in the lives of
that in the symbol of the serpent, that made for that which creates
the desire that may be only satisfied in gratification of carnal
forces, as partake of the world and its influences about same -
rather than of the spiritual emanations from which it has its source.
Will control -inability of will control, if we may put it in common
parlance.

(Q)
How long did it take for the division into male and female? (A) That
depends upon which, or what branch or LINE is considered. When there
was brought into being that as of the projection of that created BY
that created, this took a period of evolutionary - or, as would be in
the present year, fourscore and six year.
READING:

(Q)
What was meant by the Sons of the Highest in Atlantis and the second
coming of souls to the earth, as mentioned in a life reading given
thru this channel? (A) In this period or age, as was seen - There is
fault of words here to PROJECT that as actually OCCURS in the
FORMATIONS of that as comes about! There was, with the WILL of that
as came into being through the correct channels, of that as created
by the Creator, that of the CONTINUING of the souls in its projection
and projection - see? while in that as was OF the offspring, of that
as pushed itself INTO form to SATISFY, GRATIFY, that of the desire of
that known as carnal forces of the SENSES, of those created, there
continued to be the war one with another, and there were then - FROM
the other SOURCES (worlds) the continuing entering of those that
WOULD make for the keeping of the balance, as of the first purpose of
the Creative Forces, as it magnifies itself in that given sphere of
activity, of that that had been GIVEN the ABILITY to CREATE with its
OWN activity - see? and hence the second, or the CONTINUED entering
of souls into that known as the earth's plane during this period, for
that activity as was brought about. Let's REMEMBER that as was given,
in the second, third from Adam, or fourth, or from Amilius, there was
"In that day did they CALL UPON the NAME of the Lord" - is
right! and ever, when the elements that make for littleness,
uncleanness, are crucified in the body, the SPIRIT of the Lord, of
God, is present! When these are overbalanced, so that the body
(physical), the mental man, the imagination of its heart, is evil, or
his purpose is evil, then is that war continuing - as from the
beginning. Just the continued warring of those things within self as
from the beginning; for with these changes as brought SIN into the
world, with same came the FRUITS of same, or the seed as of sin,
which we see in the material world as those things that corrupt good
ground, those that corrupt the elements that are of the compounds of
those of the first causes, or elementals, and pests are seen - and
the like, see? So does it follow throughout all creative forces, that
the fruits of that as is active brings that seed that makes for the
corrupting of, or the clearing of, in the activative forces of, that
BEING acted upon.

(Q)
Please give a few details regarding the physiognomy, habits, customs
and costumes of the people of Atlantis during the period just before
this first destruction. (A) These, as we find, will require their
being separated in the gradual development of the body and its
physiognomy as it came into being in the various portions of that
land, as well as to those that would separate themselves from those
peoples where there were the indwelling of peoples, or man - as man,
in the various areas of the land, or what we call world. In the
matter of form, as we find, first there were those as projections
from that about the animal kingdom; for the THOUGHT bodies gradually
took form, and the various COMBINATIONS (as may be called) of the
various forces that called or classified themselves as gods, or
rulers over -whether herds, or fowls, or fishes, etc. - in PART that
kingdom and part of that as gradually evolved into a physiognomy much
in the form of the present day may (were one chosen of those that
were, or are, the nearest representative of the race of peoples that
existed in this first period as the first destructions came about).
These took on MANY sizes as to stature, from that as may be called
the midget to the giants - for there were giants in the earth in
those days, men as tall as (what would be termed today) ten to twelve
feet in stature, and in proportion - well proportioned throughout.
The ones that became the most USEFUL were those as would be
classified (or called in the present) as the IDEAL stature, that was
of both male and female (as those separations had been begun); and
the most ideal (as would be called) was Adam, who was in that period
when he (Adam) appeared as five in one - See? In this the physiognomy
was that of a full head, with an extra EYE - as it were - in those
portions that became what is known as the EYE. In the beginning these
appeared in WHATEVER portion was desired by the body for its use! As
for the dress, those in the beginning were (and the Lord made for
them coats) of the skins of the animals. These covered the parts of
their person that had become, then, as those portions of their
physiognomy that had brought much of the desires that made for
destructive forces in their own experience; and these then were of
those ABOUT them that were given as meat, or used as same - that
partook of the herbs. These were those same herbs that the seed were
to have been for food for the man in self, and only those that
partook of same may be called even CLEAN - in the present day. Those
that supply those same materials that are the proper building for the
forces within the anatomical forces, or physiological forces, of a
developing body; for these carry all the elements in their natural
state. Little of minerals should ever be the properties within the
system, save as may be taken through the vegetable forces, save where
individuals have so laxed themselves as to require or need that which
will make for an even balance of same.

Entity
in that land known as the Atlantean, and in that period when there
had been builded those developments of the peoples in the land. The
entity then among the rulers of the land, being associated with those
that WERE AS the rulers that were later divided into male and female.
The entity then, in attempting to seek or to follow close in the line
of these, there was brought that of the first dissension, in the
dissatisfaction of the inabilities to change its body to that as
would entice or bring those influences into the lives of those the
entity contacted.

(Q)
In the Poseidian [Atlantis] period, just what was my position and
vocation? [See 288-1 and 288-10.] (A) A ruler, and what would be
termed a DIVINER of purposes in the activities of the MENTAL life;
for the PERIOD carried rather that of the MENTAL - that would be
termed in the present day - of a PHYSICAL being; for then both male
and female might be - desired so - in one.

Yes,
we have those conditions in the experience of the entity, in that
sojourn and experience in Atlantis. Here we find as these conditions,
or the changing of the entity's abilities in separating self in the
form or manner in sex; hence becoming, with the associations, the
envy of many then being contacted with the experiences as a leader, a
ruler;

This,
to be sure, would indicate the period in Atlantis when there was the
separation of the sexes indicated among things, or the thought-
figures or bodies; those that had caught the vision and those still
kept in bondage.
READING:
2390-1
Before
that the entity was in the Atlantean land, when there were those
periods of activity in which there was the changing of individuals
from the double sex, or the ability of the progeneration of
activities from self. The entity was a priestess in that experience
just before there were the activities of the sons of Belial that
brought about the period of the second destruction to the land.
READING:
2121-2
Entity
in that land known as the Atlantean, during that period when there
were the separations of the bodies as male and female, for the entity
then began one of power in the period - and making for those of the
first TEMPORAL abodes, in houses that were of peculiar structure,
that oft comes to the entity's inner self in the present of that
CIRCULAR home, house, abode, or city, or peoples, that there may be
the proper differentiations in those of the abilities of individuals
to mete out that of a PRODUCTIVE nature; whether the layman, that
produces that of the original, or whether those that make for the
change into the use of the various efforts of the various groups in
THEIR respective sphere, or whether in that that DISTRIBUTES to the
NEEDS of those that labor IN the various fields OF the passing of
foods, apparel, OR what not, from the PRODUCTIVE end to that of the
USER, or of the distributor.

Entity
was in the Atlantean land, when there were those activities where
there were the divisions of sexes. This entity was in close
relationships with those who were among the first offspring of such
divisions; thus being among the first of the princesses of that
particular period of activity. The entity was raised to power, for
the entity was blessed with that ability to hold to those things that
had been the practise of the father in that period or sojourn.
READING:

Entity
was in the Atlantean land, in those periods when there was the
changing within the body forces of the sex of individuals. The entity
was among the children of the Law of One, and yet cohorted with the
sons of Belial in the usage of their efforts to use those tenets
attained by the entity for the propagation in an unseemly manner.
