Getting out of a coma
We should keep more than one thing in suspense and see what happens inside through it. It's said to be good. And there are limits to that.

The two best Atlantis tales come down to us through Plato. We will "add" to them by sifted, pinpointed information from the Edgar Cayce readings. But what he calls Atlantis we will call Skyland. Some vessels of Skylanders could move in water, on water and in the air and other subtle spheres. That’s what we’re taught: A farmer's son in Kentucky slept and said it in what could be presented as a state near coma. And these are advanced tidings.
Anyhow, this is a starter cavalcade about merry tracts in the western ocean. The mere idea of a fine and good land in the west drove lots of emigrants to America, Australian and other New Zealand. If you can't travel by boat or through air, maybe imagination helps your inner functions better. Zoroaster had that express opinion. There is no faculty higher than imagination, he asserted. [Zaeh]
Good tales do have something in common, apart from freeing imagination and zest a bit, they are largely giving, and not much stern in their main effects.
In a story there can be good food for thought.
Somewhere in the western sea ...
"A fairyland rises from the sea" - Arne Garborg.

Apart from that, stories of exceptional vehicles are not new, and may reflect a dire need for effortless fares. The boat Skibladner in Norse myths appears to have given birth to plenty of fairy-tale segments where a boat that can be built to move along on water and on dry land alike. [Cf. Ng]
In the old folk-tale "The cormorants of Udrost" we are presented with a neat little fairyland called Udrost. It's in the west, and not poor and mean at all. It's much the opposite of what once was the lot of Norwegian fishermen. But nowadays not a few of them earn more a year than the Norwegian prime minister, and that's a fact.
Perhaps only silly proof of the old fairyland towards west can be given. And as perhaps should be suspected, such "proof" is much in step with stiff and ardent longings of poor fishermen of old. The tale describes an island with much less exactness as in Plato's description of the lost continent "Skyland", but towards west it is to be found on a very luck day.
Righteous friends challenge the value of gold and
silver.
Atlantis "as they spoke of it in ancient Egypt" and Gilgamesh
 |
As for the purposed Skylander (Atlantean) heritage, where do we come across it? "In your dream," is one expression. Pardon, it might be misinterpreted. As long as hard proof of that sunk continent seems somewhat missing among mankind, Atlantis may be called Skyland - no harm intended. That replacing name could be fit and make a lasting impression in its own right.
Like little stories of a garden of joy (Eden) the stories of Skyland could be hard to substantiate so long after -. And did you know the Mesopotamian counterpart to Eden is no-substantial, not here? That’s how it is in the ancient poem Gilgamesh.
To be correctly spiritual consists in rising above mimicking
gestures and soap opera attires, and now and then above name conditionings too.
Homer, Troy and siren allurements
As for very old stories, they can be awfully hard to verify and give fitting academic references for. But sometimes what is called myth proves right. The finding of Troy by a certain story-inspired German shows that. "Everybody" in his time thought Homer's Troy was fiction far and wide. Then, based on information in Homer and perhaps other places, a Troy or more Troys were dug out. [Check]It's good to discern between real action references and references to academic listings and publications. History books may deal with the former, but also explore the latter. Scholars and scholiasts may find it fit to refer to what has been gathered and classified without wanting to go into how reliable and verifiable assertions are in real life. So don't expect to find a siren in the woods just because scholars have classified siren tales and listed such stories well.
Many scholars challenge or oppose the views of Cayce
on where "Skyland" was or lies submerged. And many views that scholars have
supported thoughout history, were ailing and failing ones - We have to weigh those
two harsh points against one another in order to get to some balance.
What is of techné and what is of the humanities can be geared to different things
We hope you see the difference between solid and realistic references and careful classificatory references. The first of them are geared to life, the latter are geared to schemes and groupings that refer: It's akin to anything found in real life versus descriptions of things found in real life, and fictional events and beings and things too.Being realistic and fair ties in with the former stand. Being classificatory, attend to minute details and get able to refer well to material that is published or gathered, ties in to the latter in no small degree. And yes, you can be fair in gathering materials anyhow. You can also get notorious.
A creed didn't make the earth flat: Belief without solid proof may lead astray. Who can tell? If our Skyland is a metaphor - what could it be a metaphor of, eventually? It could be unfulfilled longings of certain kinds.
"The wish can be the father of the thought" is almost
as in the proverbial saying.
On the outlook for fit quality
It pays to be on the outlook for quality, even in the realm of opinions. There is a difference between being opinionated and able to hold opinions floating - in suspense - toying with some of them and linking carefully. Good opinions may be even better articulated. Then they can be made use of as working hypotheses in the realm of science. Further note there is more than this one way to guard quality opinions and presentations. Much depends on how skilful someone is too.Some people think that the opinions of many count because they are much shared. Such persons may be likened to sheep. "Where all think the same, no one thinks deeply and well." That could be true where people are dogmatic, mind-conditioned - too hard on good children as well. History shows that may be wrong - all of it. The earth is not flat as a pancake - even though that was the creed for centuries and more. The creed didn't make it flat either.
Bringing in new hypotheses and counter-hypotheses may help a lot
at the onset of investigations, and maybe do some havoc later - it depends -
What next?

| "One should not miss real living for very old stories." |
Now we are about to "add" some more on top of Edgar Cayce readings. Exact Cayce references will be found in all cases. Very many have recourse to that source material. And over 300 books on and by Cayce are written.
What he told in sleep was recorded, and those records are referred to. That is one interesting sort of reference! The question is how close to or far from the "real action" (what happened back then) he got.
To make the sifted data more interesting, we present them mainly in a new format, that works for many sorts of material. The setting here will be that of a tale-teller's. Names you come across are made up, that is, freshly made up. In the Cayce references some "real ones" appear.
What is interesting in a canyon storm may cease to be
interesting when the storm abates, and also outside the canyon. It could be much the same
with certain sayings and lore by men who are thought to bring information from the spiritual
side of existence; they may feel interesting till life runs smoother.
Central to Skyland tales
In nature, another millennium comes like one more day. It's best that way.
It should pay
to refrain from bringing about something deeply tragic if there is a better choice at hand
COUNTLESS THOUSANDS of individuals have been killed, are dying, or have simply given
up. And we see renewed evidence of gang wars or drugs - and other sides of inhumanity
around. Edgar Cayce suggested that the years between 1958 and 1998 would be a period
of great global transformation. These changes would not lead to the tragic end of the world.
As this is edited in no small way in AD 2000, there is evidence that transformations
(editing work) might continue.
The moral man
can have big problems - not his fault!
DON'T ALWAYS trust Mohicans that trust in armed guards and Schaefer dogs around
them. After AD 1998 the world has become more fractured and beaten out of morality than ever
before in very many places. It may cost you dearly to keep alive if your body-mind can't
follow suit with the rest.
A body with a mind inside can be maimed, damaged, and there may be next no means of
recuperation in the beyond. Think of that and learn to take care: Only by accident the good
watchdog cures a man - eh: Prevention is better than cure, especially better than cures that
are not had here on the earth level where the big problems can originate and manifest. out
of accicent, out of lack of fair play from comrades and mistresses, and what do I know apart
from this: "Some men who don't know they're idealists, may get in trouble for it"? And note:
"Ideals grow and change as we do." Do we? [Check]I also suggest that the heaven-side may be better at heaven-things and more fit for heaven-things, while the earthly side is hardly to dispensed with in a good cure and for bulwarking a lot. That's one more reason why house-dogs of Bramble Garden live in fence-protected gardens, helped by guards in boots and German watchdogs around - they don't necessarily trust their fellow-men like you and I do.
Gruelling
activity could contribute to Ragnarok
YET SOME hard-headed individuals continue to go for this: changing lots of things.
Much of this activity has become so commonplace or mercantile that we simply shrug our
shoulders if we see nothing relevant happen from it on the largest scene.It should be time for us to wake up and realise things in this way of ways, in part assisted by information dormant in the readings of Edgar Cayce - held to be one of the most documented clairvoyant men of this gruelling century. Often obscene it is.
