Completing the Cycle of Fear:
Bringing to Karmic Close the Parable of Atlantis
By Sarah McCroskey / Director of Bioenergy Balancing Center and Host of HumanSpirit Radio
Mythical or not, of this “reality” or another dimensional parallel, there was the story of Atlantis which compels our imagination and lives powerfully in our experience to this day.
Before the days of “fact checkers” and carbon dating for historical accuracy, the story went something like this:
A civilization of beings existed upon the Earth for many thousands of year. Their numbers and base of talent were comprised of evermore ancient ones – descendants of Mu, joined with beings from other star systems and ancestors of former claimants of Earth’s gone by.
This civilization rose to great heights of scientific exploration and experimentation beyond anything our technological civilization can fathom today. Working with energetic transmission, crystal technology and alchemy of astounding accuracy and magnitude, the Atlanteans brought the linearity and the active, radiant, sky/male polarity to its pinnacle of existence on Earth.
The masses, each holding divine frequency and consciousness well beyond our current collective capacity, enjoyed lives of clarity and compassion, natural pleasure and cosmic inter-relatedness. It was indeed a Golden Age.
Purposely omitting the details and “who done its” of the drama and destruction that led to its fall, suffice it to say Atlantis and its member population plummeted from the heights to the depths. Physically, energetically, psychologically, emotionally, dimensionally and in consciousness itself – Atlantis fell hard and on every level – excruciatingly so.
What then was the cost to those who travelled this soul path – be it forging this peak civilization, seeding its power, incarnationally experiencing, accidentally or intentionally crafting its downfall – what becomes of the soul journeyers from the Epoch of Atlantis?
When energetic technology of the highest magnitude goes awry, it is not pretty. When dimensional boundaries are breached, there is a mess. When the fabric of cosmic structure itself is sheared by conscious or unintended miscreation – there are reverberations.
Incarnational cycling might be one consequence. A karmic backpack of images, emotions and terror might be another. Loss of faith in the cosmic order and our Creator might be a by product of such an experience. And most assuredly the isolation and despair accompanying a sudden, sheer drop in consciousness and belonging – to the greater Galactic community is sure to make a mark.
But need this mark be eternal or are we in fact digging out from this precipitous plunge in consciousness, from this cosmic quarantine?
Yes, it is our time, and we are in fact making this leap, but what have been the artifacts – old and outdated but still in use today that have molded human beings – etched as a deep imprint on our psyche and souls.
To name a few:
Ego – When you can no longer remember your cosmic heritage and inter-relatedness with All That Is, how can you consider yourself anything but separate, local, merely a body and brain in a world of (unresolved) peril? From this perspective, relegating a huge chunk of your awareness capacity to self-protection and automatic/reflexive seems a really good idea. Enter flight/fight/freeze, distraction, aggression, claiming ownership, competition, greed/hoarding – the hallmarks of a fear-based ego and the separate (small) self.
Susceptibility to Conditioning – With a strong subconscious (and cellular) memory of what it is like to go from a superconscious state of awareness to “ordinary” 5-sense perceptual capacity, we become ripe for entrainment to programs of conditioning such as; I’m not enough, striving for perfection, self condemnation and doubt and non-fulfillment /seeking “something more”.
Couple this with the experiential echo of “being cast out” from our cosmic federation (the Epoch of Quarantine), humans were primed to adopt and perpetuate the fear of not belonging, being banished, “excommunicated”, exiled, defamed, “singled out”. Every conceivable cultural nuance and meme regarding the importance of “fitting in” and “not making waves” became stressed as a matter of survival – underscored by a (unresolved yet visceral) experience of THAT loss, THAT abandonment, THAT bereavement.
Controlling and Loss of Trust – The curiosity embedded in the human desire to “control” is the assumption that “things are out-of-control”. This too harkens back to memory of the Atlantean cataclysm, re-cast by our soul in countless reincarnational cycles and current life dramas. Compellingly inviting us to reclaim conscious creatorhood, our soul will compassionately withstand the suffering we heap on ourselves through white-knuckled controlling, fear and a conditioned reluctance to let go, with faith and trust, in a broader design, a greater Power.
Fear of Power - Controlling and perceived powerlessness often exist as twin aspects of the same patterned premise – a fear of power and a certainty that it will inevitably go wrong. Behold the meme, “Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Having witnessed the cost of the abuse of power – by “ourselves” or “another” – in the times of Atlantis and repeatedly since, we culturally equate power with abuse. We fear our own power and distrust power in the hands of others.
All Healing Begins with Responsibility
So the karmic imprint of Atlantis endures - birthing repetitions and cycling through civilizations. You, me, we’ve worn all the hats from villain to damsel, abuser to victim, wisdom holder to sacred pilgrim. It has literally become “As the World Turns” in endless syndication.
But the light is upon us, both in focus - like a spotlight and in intensity - like a laser’s beam. We are, quite literally, becoming illumined from within. This tunes us to great navigational resources, on the outside.
Our soul merely requires that we OWN our journey. No fault, no blame, simply “I was there...I am here...I have been all along. I exist as Creator - with a soul that loves a good adventure and tracks the arc of my evolution as a Divine Singularity, a unique aspect of All That Is.
And like any loving parent, good friend or true guardian, my soul requires that I clean up my messes and wake up on time.
