I worked with Phil for many years and the information he provided has been spliced into many of my books. Instead of going to the Library on the spirit side, he gained his information from the Planet of the Three Spires, which seemed to be a storehouse or depository of all knowledge. Often a group of twelve entities would also supply missing pieces or he would be shown scenes and try to interpret them with the help of these entities.

We had access to this information by using an elevator method, rather than the cloud method that is very effective with most of my subjects. Phil would visualize himself in an elevator in an office building, and would stop at the appropriate floor that contained access to whatever information we were looking for. In this case we had discussed the possibility of finding something about Atlantis. The method doesn’t really matter, gaining access is the important part of the work.

The elevator had stopped and I asked him what he saw as the door opened.

P: There are bright shimmering lights. They are the energy of the level from which we work. And I’m passing through the lights. I can see what appears to be a flying craft, or a flying ship, flying above a field of green grass. It has a somewhat pointed shape in the front, and a somewhat oval shape toward the rear. And there is room for two people to sit. There are other craft in the sky which could hold many. There is in the distance, from my point of view, a city that sparkles in the Sun. This is one of many cities at this time.

D: Do you know where we are?

P: This had been discussed earlier. The questions were related to that time on Earth. This is merely one city on what was then called the continent of Atlantis.

[It may seem a contradiction that he saw flying craft while Brenda (see Part I) did not see these. As has been stated the civilization at that time existed for thousands of years, and underwent many changes and advancements. By this time apparently they had developed mechanical devices, and had moved into technology. We were also to discover other changes.]

D: Can you tell what that craft is made of?

P: It is an aluminum alloy, very similar to that in use in the present.

D: Can you tell how it is powered?

P: By what is called crystal power. There are in place across the land rays of crystal energy, which are directed to various other parts of the continent. And these craft merely align themselves on this ray and are projected along it. Similar to the concept of highways in use throughout your country today.

D: Do they also have craft that leave the planet, or travel in space?

P: Yes, however, they were not of this same type of construction. There were those people who were allowed this possibility. However, they were the high priests or highest functional order, who were in communion with those of the star nature. These were not common experiences among the general populace. Those who were of the highest moral character and understanding were allowed this experience, as a part of their learning and spiritual evolution. It was not a pleasure type of experience. It was given in the context of learning.

D: Are there any parts of the original continent above water today?

P: Parts of the Atlantis continent are indeed rising again, and will once again rise to and above the surface. However there is not at this time what one would call parts of the original dry land. That is, nothing significant.

D: I’ve heard that part of the United States was part of it.

P: That is not accurate as we perceive it. You asked for land which was considered a permanent part of Atlantis, and the entire continent of the United States was, in fact, part of the ocean floor at one time.

D: Do you know where Atlantis was originally located according to our geographical map as it is today?

P: It was in the Atlantic Ocean. There are those areas which were, at that period, above and below, as well. There are areas today which were above ground at that time, which subsequently sank for a period of time, and have since reemerged. There are those areas which were, at that time, submerged, which are now above ground. There have been many Earth changes since that period. Many times being one or the other, that is, land or sea.

D: Then the majority of the continent is below water now.

P: That is accurate.

D: What about the rest of the world? It couldn’t have been the only populated continent.

P: There were in that one particular area many different civilizations of peoples. A social structure, not that far removed from what you on your planet have in place today. That is, there were many different types and classes of people. There were the low or poor working class. And then economically speaking, the middle and upper classes.

D: But there were other continents besides Atlantis?

P: That is accurate. There were areas, not as continents, in the sense that they were given or ascribed one particular name or designation. For at that time the imminent and premier area of population was called “Atlantis”. However, not accurate to say that was the only populated area at that time. It was the showcase or center of civilization at that time.

D: The other areas didn’t have names.

P: That is accurate. There was not the necessity to incorporate these into what would have then been called the “world government.”

D: Did they have the same cultural advancement as this continent of Atlantis?

P: There were those areas which were technologically somewhat superior. However, morally none was surpassed in that area of Atlantis. It was the crowning achievement of civilization at that point. At that time on your planet, it was the epitome of the search for truth.

D: Had mankind been in existence a long time when Atlantis developed to this state?

P: There were many, many generations previous to this. The evolution of the spiritual manifestations were to a high degree, more highly evolved than even to this day.

D: I was wondering if this was the highest evolvement that man had reached at that time.

P: That is accurate, and since. For the moral character of your planet to this day has a great distance to go to reach this pinnacle of success.

D: I was thinking there might have been other earlier civilizations that we didn’t know about.

P: There were indeed other civilizations and continents previous to the Atlantean culture. However, none have surpassed that which was found in Atlantis at that time, speaking strictly from a moral and character standpoint.

D: Then were there times whenever man would evolve so far and the civilizations would be destroyed, before the Atlantean continent was formed?

P: There was, as the sands of the desert shifting the shifting fortunes of man. For there were always those advances which would preeminent that particular culture to a level of distinction among its peers. Through various types of what could be called “misfortune” these cultures never seemed to establish a firm foothold on the civilizations in place at that time. And so there was a continual loss and rebuilding, and then loss again. Until suddenly there came the great advancements of that continent of Atlantis. There were previous to that many cultures which were in excess of the spiritual character of Atlantis. However, none taken in the context of the overall population as a whole. There were individuals in other cultures who through diligence and self-denial, and training, reached those levels of awareness, which were above the general population of Atlantis. However, we speak here of a general overall population awareness. That is, the culture or population in general had reached the high area of awareness. And there were cultures previous to the Atlanteans who were of a higher moral character, but yet had not the same type of culture or inner-connectedness about it. It was more of the individual basis.

D: But each time mankind had to start over again from a very low level?

P: There were always those who were keepers of the knowledge, for that was a jealously guarded secret. The knowledge was protected with much reverence and dignity. However, it was not available to the population in general. And so there were always those of the higher moral standards, who were the keepers of the knowledge.

D: Then the Earth had changed, continents had risen and disappeared, before this time of Atlantis.

P: That is accurate. This was caused by various cataclysms natural to the planet. For in that time period the Earth was still making adjustments, and settling into a long and prosperous life. The Earth at that point was somewhat younger than now, it was much more unsettled.

D: Our scientists tend to think there were no people in those early days.

P: Not so, for there were people in days when scientists believe there was no life at all. However, they simply do not have the perspective of hindsight that would be necessary to confirm the existence of these people. For with each change there was the obliteration of those who existed previous to the change, such that their cultures were lost with no trace. Not that the peoples themselves were decimated such that there were no humans left, but that there was no trace left of their accomplishments. Simply because of the cataclysmic destruction which followed each natural Earth change.

D: Then there has always been some who have survived.

P: That is accurate. For it has always been known that the change was imminent. And those who were attuned and aware would make preparations, and so would survive intact and continue on. There was always that level of awareness which states that the greatest possible achievement in man’s history is that which is at the present. This has been prevalent throughout man’s history. There were many previous civilizations which unfortunately held this same viewpoint. That is only human nature.

D: I have had regressions where entire civilizations were destroyed by dramatic Earth changes. Sometimes by walls of water, sometimes by volcanic eruptions that produced walls of mud and debris. I was told these were before Atlantis, and mankind has no knowledge of their highly advanced accomplishments. The scientists have no records of them because any remains are buried either underwater or under mountains of Earth. Our world is like a restless old woman who constantly frets and twists and turns.

[I returned to what Phil was observing.]

D: You said you could see a city in the distance?

P: That is accurate. The keepers of the knowledge are based or emanate from this city. The Elohim of the ancients, the keepers of the moral physical laws of truth. That is the highest form of awareness of the natural and physical laws of mankind, in conjunction with the spiritual awareness.

D: Then the ones that had these so-called mental powers were only a few in comparison to the whole population?

P: Not so, for the city as a whole was very aware. It is as if this city itself held some type of energy, which seemed to elevate these people to far greater potentials than were normally seen throughout the rest of the country.

D: What makes the city shine?

P: It is of the crystal nature, from the building materials which constitute their construction. It is as if the concrete you use today were of a crystalline nature.

D: Are you at the city where you can look around and observe?

P: There is a somewhat reluctant attitude to go nearer to the city. For those who are not of the highest energy were not allowed in, for it would cause considerable damage to the physical and spiritual entity, as a whole. The energy level of this city was such that it would overload those who were not familiar with how to channel this energy. And so it is a somewhat precautionary measure that we observe from a distance. For the energy is much too powerful to attempt to channel at this time.

D: I appreciate you telling me that. We won’t do anything that will harm you in any way. Can you get information by observing it from a distance?

P: That is accurate. There are those who are aware of our presence on the perimeter, and can channel this information to us without causing any type of physical disturbance in the vehicle. There are those who would see in their mind’s eye that there is something to be learned from this contact. And so they would journey towards this city drawn by some invisible force which would lead them to this area. There they would intuitively feel the connection with those who were the Watchers of the Truth. And who would then contact these individuals. And the communion would be given that would establish that which is truth to the individuals seeking it.

D: But we really are from their future. Have they normally spoken to people in different times?

P: There is always the possibility of bridging that which is called the time barrier, for in the truest sense there is no such barrier. It is always possible to relate to those who are of this higher order, merely by thought. There is no barrier to thought. They are most pleased that you would attempt to do this, for it is of the higher order of thinking that allows you to do this. Were it not so, then it would not be allowed.

D: Yes, I’m always searching for knowledge. Then if we stay back so you will feel safe and protected, I would like to ask some questions about the city.

P: There will be given that knowledge which is safe to the vehicle involved, and to the general mission, as you would call it. That is to bring this information forward to your time period.

D: If this city’s energy was so powerful, what about people who didn’t live there. Would they be allowed to come in?

P: As we said earlier, there were those who would attempt to come towards the city. However, the level of energy was such that they intuitively would not come much further, for they could know that this was an area which was off limits. The awareness of that which is on a higher level would tell them they need approach no further, lest they bring harm to themselves. It was an innate and intuitive awareness. There was no need for guards or centurions, for the awareness was such that those who were appropriate to approaching this city would not feel the need to turn away. It was an automatic safety feature, which would turn away those who were not of the higher nature.

D: Is this the only city of this type in existence at that time?

P: It is one of several. Each was unique in the particular aspect of its energy. The knowledge and level of people there was somewhat unique. However, the cities as a whole were very similar, in that this same type of manifestation, the energy levels prevalent throughout and about, were common.

D: Then each of these cities were used for different purposes?

P: That is accurate, for there was the learning of physical natures, the elements of personality, for example. And there was the awareness of spiritual nature, the elements of spirituality. There were cities which would integrate these.

D: What type was this city used for?

P: This was of the health and nature type, or awareness of that which combines physical and spiritual in order to maintain health and balance of physical and spiritual awareness.

D: Can they give you information about the types of buildings? You said they were made of crystal.

P: In the construction there is the powder of a crystalline nature, which would appear to be separate individual crystals. It was as if the building itself were made of crystalline material, such that the building as a whole would then become a crystal receptor.

D: At first I thought it was made entirely of huge crystals.

P: Not so, they were of a powdered nature, such that the individual grains themselves were of a crystalline nature.

D: I didn’t think you could find crystals that large anyway. But this powder was mixed with something to make the walls?

P: That is accurate. They were mixed with a base or mortar content, which would cement them together in one solid form. They were poured in a concrete form and allowed to harden. They were somewhat self-heating in that the energy given off was of the temperature of Sun shining on it in the midday Sun.

D: Were they large buildings?

P: There were structures which would rise several tens of stories, perhaps thirty stories, if necessary. There was the knowledge available to construct these buildings. There was commerce and industry, and then there was the office space, so to say. The areas of which knowledge and information was assimilated and distributed, much as you have in your society today.

D: Then all the buildings in this city are built of the same material.

P: All of the city as a whole, so that the entire city and those inhabitants within it, were irradiated by this energy.

D: But the normal cities on the planet were not built of this material?

P: The lesser cities were built of more common forms of materials, such as the clays and stones and woods which were prevalent. This sounded more like the city that Brenda saw.

D: That would explain why this one gave off a different energy level.

P: That is accurate. It was as if the city itself reflected the higher mental character of those inhabitants.

[He described the furnishings, but they were made of similar materials that we use today. There was also nothing unusual about the people and their clothing, except they wore mostly tunics or robes.]

P: The lighting itself was done with crystal energy, such that the crystals for lighting would give off a light energy, but a bright somewhat blue-tinted light. There were at that time crystals which would when excited through cosmic energy give off, or translate that energy into physical light. It was simply an energy transducer.

D: Are the floors and walls also this crystalline material?

P: That is accurate. It was as if the entire city were built of this material.

D: Is there any other type of vehicle besides the one you saw in the sky?

P: There are many which allow for transportation. Many of a utility nature, as opposed to a transportational nature. For in construction and rebuilding it was necessary to haul great loads of materials long distances.

D: What do the ones used for transportation look like?

P: It could be described as somewhat of a shuttle craft in appearance. We refer here to the two-man craft which was presented earlier. Somewhat egg-shaped when viewed from below, and somewhat larger in the rear as opposed to the front. There was an area to the front in which the individuals would sit. There was a viewing area, which allowed for observing the areas around and below and above. There was no need at that time for frictional mechanical conveyance, as you have at this time. It was more of a levitational nature. These were powered by crystals. It was necessary to increase the amount of energy output in order to compensate for the additional payload. The arrangement of the drive crystals could be in multiples, which would allow for a combined output, which would be sufficient to propel that payload.

D: You mean it had several smaller crystals, according to how much of a payload it had to pull, or propel?

P: That is accurate. There were more of one common type of crystal, arranged in such a pattern that their total energy output would be multiples of a single form. These crystals were, as a whole, naturally occurring. However, they were manufactured to a certain specification, such that their energy output could be directed.

D: You said these were powered by rays of energy that were projected out from somewhere, like highways?

P: That is accurate. For long distance transportation, there were beacons of crystal energy. A radiator of crystal energy which would be aligned so that the path would lead to another beacon, which would be stationed at some distant point. It would then be simply a matter of aligning one’s craft or transport along this beacon of energy. And then being driven or propelled along this beacon. It was necessary to redirect the energy, so that one would be moving forward or backwards, to one point and from another. It was simply a matter of rearranging the crystals themselves, the propulsion units, such that the propulsion would be in one direction or another. The beams or beacons were broad enough that there could be multiple craft occupying this beacon simultaneously, and traveling in perhaps opposite directions. It was not, as has been interpreted, a tight and narrow beam, but a broad and general beacon.

D: Then these beacons were placed at various places on the planet?

P: Not so much the planet itself, because the knowledge and awareness necessary to utilize this form of transportation was not prevalent throughout. They were throughout the continent at various strategic or important places, not randomly. For there were those areas which were in need of such beacons, and those areas which were not.

D: Then the vehicles within this city operated differently?

P: There was energy available throughout the entire city so no beacons or beams were necessary. The energy available in the surrounding atmosphere or ambient energy was sufficient to cause these craft to be able to fly in whatever direction the occupants desired.

D: They were able to tap into the energy caused by the crystal buildings and the city itself.

P: That is accurate.

D: Then if you wanted to go out of the city you had to use the other type of vehicle.

P: That is accurate.

D: What about communication within the city?

P: It was telepathic in nature. There was no need for phones in the sense that one would interpret them today. The inhabitants were very telepathic in nature, and could be aware of, and communicate with anyone they wished at any time. However, there were what could be called “machines”, somewhat similar to your computers. These were distributors and accumulators of knowledge and information. These were used mostly within the city itself, for the more accurate communications of information.

D: Were the people able to communicate over long distances telepathically?

P: Quite accurate. There were those who could communicate between different areas on the planet. There was no need for artificial forms of communication. It was not necessary to limit oneself only to the planet, for there was the ability to communicate with those who were on quite distant planets, simply by telepathic means. This form of communication is still available to this day, were it to be recognized as such.

D: Reactivated, to a certain extent.

P: That is accurate.

D: Did everyone on the planet have this ability to communicate?

P: Not so. For there were those who could not care less. Perhaps they felt no need for such forms of communication and were not interested in learning what was necessary to allow for this type of communication.

D: Then the entire planet was not that highly evolved.

P: That is accurate. There were those who desired the dedication and the knowledge that would facilitate this communication. The communication was not in and of itself the focal point of the search for knowledge. It was not the end to the means.

D: Why were they communicating with other planets?

P: There was information given that would allow for a higher understanding of one’s self, with respect to one’s self and others as well. It had been made available by the progress of the inhabitants’ social awareness. A more complete understanding of social functions on a planetary level.

D: People from the other planets contacted them whenever they had evolved to the proper state?

P: Not so. It was simply a matter of the evolution of awareness, such that the awareness of those on the planet soon reached a level at which they were aware of far more than simply their own kind on their own planet. Their awareness broadened and increased so they were then aware of communication between other planets.

D: Did they also have physical contact with people from other planets?

P: Yes, as we have said earlier. There was given that ability to communicate with directly or to meet in person those who were of the other nature.

D: Yes, you did say that certain ones were allowed to go off the planet.

P: That is accurate.

D: Did the people from other planets also come here?

P: That is accurate. For it was seen there could be given that knowledge exchange which would be beneficial to both parties involved. So that their learning was more complete and grounded.

D: Do you know if this communication had been going on for a long time before they were aware of it?

P: There was in other areas of the universe communication going on far previous to the appearance of the planet as a whole. However, the awareness reached by that specific part of the population allowed for the communication between those on other planets and themselves.

D: I was curious if the people from the other planets had been coming to Earth before they were noticed, so to speak.

P: There was, for quite some time previous to the Atlantean incarnation, those visitations which allowed for an awareness of the planet in other areas of the universe. It was not unknown that the planet was evolving in such a manner. And it was seen that the evolution was such that eventually telepathic forms of communication would be established in which those beings left on planets, who were not traveling, were soon to be able to contact directly these inhabitants of this newly evolving planet.

D: Were there any other types of machines within the city?

P: There were again the communication types of machines, as well as the information retrieval and storage. There was that level of machinery which would insure the comfort of the buildings themselves. There was the preservation machine, so that the food and articles of clothing and so forth, were kept healthy and in a clean and high state of appearance.

D: That’s an interesting term ‘preservation machine.’ I think of our refrigerators. But it couldn’t have been that if you mentioned clothing also.

P: We speak here in a broad category, and not so much a single concept. It is indeed very similar in concept to the refrigerator and washing machine so common in your society today.

D: Then they’ve always had need for such things, I suppose.

P: That is accurate. For the need for cleanliness and preservation has been prevalent with man for many centuries.

D: Are there any animals within the city?

P: It was not deemed appropriate in this crystal city to allow for the wanderings of animals throughout the streets, as was common in some other areas of the continent at that time. Animals would not be able to adjust to the tremendous energy power of the city.

D: Were the people’s lifespan about like ours?

P: It was somewhat shorter than is common in this time frame today. However, not due to ill health. Being in this energy shortens somewhat the life expectancy. However, the accumulation of knowledge was such that one learned in a far shorter time that which may take many, many years in subsequent lesser lifetimes. It was as if the learning process were speeded up. And in living with the energies the physical bodies were used far faster and greater than those who would live outside of the energies. The disease and ill health prevalent in other areas of the planet were, to a great extent, non-existent in that particular type of city.

D: Then other people on the planet had different lifespans than the ones living in the city.

P: That is accurate. Those living in the energy cities had lifespans somewhat shorter than is considered average. Possibly in the forty and fifty year age bracket would be average. Those living outside who were of higher order and were aware of cleanliness and diet could expect to live into the sixties and seventies. However, there were those who were somewhat more primitive, whose lifespan was much less.

D: I suspect much of this had to do with medical advances too.

P: That is accurate. It was simply a level of awareness which dictated the life expectancy.

[I decided to end the session since I felt we had learned enough about the crystal city. I asked if I could return at another time and get information about their knowledge and abilities.]

P: We will attempt to give you that which is most appropriate to give at that time. We would wish that you understand that the appropriateness factor is the constituting guideline in each of these sessions. For that which is appropriate at one session may perhaps not be at the next.

D: It’s according to what energy answers the questions?

P: According to the energy of the overall situation, for there are many participants in this endeavor, not simply your own, which has an affect on the overall operation. It is this overall sum total of the conditionals of the energies, which constitutes the appropriateness factor. We shall protect him in his efforts to understand his self, as well as his life, which can, as always, be very distinct and separate. For oftentimes people feel that they are their life. And yet in fact one’s life is really an extension of one’s self. One’s self can become quite separate from one’s life. Here defining life in the social societal cultural aspects, and not in a physical sense. The experience of living then is one’s life. And so one filters through this life concept those experiences which are the experience of life itself.
