Lemuria, The Allure of Vanished Forgotten Lands
Was Lemuria a vast continent swallowed by the sea, home to an advanced and spiritually enlightened race?
Human history is rich with story of lost civilizations, Atlantis, El Dorado, Mu, but none captivates the imagination quite like the lost Kingdom of Lemuria. Enigmatic, ancient, and shrouded in layers of myth and mysticism, Lemuria has fascinated scientists, spiritual seekers, and storytellers for over a century.
Let us embark on a journey through time and consciousness, peeling back the veils to explore the legend of Lemuria, a civilization lost to history, but alive in mystery.
Origins of the Legend
The concept of Lemuria was first proposed in the 19th century by zoologist Philip Sclater, who was trying to explain the presence of lemur fossils in both Madagascar and India, but not in Africa or the Middle East. He postulated a now-vanished landmass in the Indian Ocean, which he called Lemuria, as a bridge between continents.
Though initially a scientific hypothesis, the idea of Lemuria soon took on a life of its own. Helena Blavatsky, the founder of Theosophy, embraced Lemuria in her esoteric teachings. In her works, Lemuria was not just a land bridge, it was a cradle of ancient wisdom, a stage for the development of early humanity before Atlantis even existed.
From there, mystics, psychics, and metaphysical thinkers expanded the lore, envisioning Lemuria as a utopian realm of peace, harmony, and spiritual purity.
The Kingdom of Lemuria – A Lost Utopia
Imagine a land that stretched across what we now call the Pacific and Indian Oceans, massive, lush, and teeming with life. Mountains kissed the skies, crystal lakes sparkled under golden suns, and jungles whispered secrets older than memory. This was Lemuria, according to esoteric tradition, a continent larger than modern-day North America, connecting present-day Hawaii, Easter Island, Madagascar, and parts of Southeast Asia.
The Kingdom of Lemuria was said to be a civilization advanced not just technologically, but spiritually. Lemurians were believed to be tall, ethereal beings with luminous skin and deep, compassionate eyes. They lived in harmony with nature, communicated telepathically, and had no concept of war or greed.
Their cities were crystalline and powered by earth’s natural energies. Healing temples harnessed vibrational frequencies, and education was based on unlocking inner wisdom rather than rote learning. They understood the language of stars and could commune with animals and the elemental forces of earth, water, fire, and air.
The Fall of Lemuria
But even paradise is not eternal.
Esoteric teachings recount that Lemuria’s fall was not sudden, but gradual. As eons passed, parts of Lemurian society began to drift from their spiritual path. Hubris, technological misuse, and disconnection from divine consciousness began to taint their once-harmonious world.
Geological cataclysms, volcanic eruptions, massive earthquakes, and tectonic shifts, signaled the beginning of the end. Whole cities sank into the sea. Mountains crumbled. The once-great continent fractured and began to disappear beneath the waves.
In a final act of grace and foresight, the high priests and priestesses of Lemuria stored their knowledge in crystal libraries and etheric records, what some now call the Akashic Records. They guided their people to safety in scattered parts of the world: Mount Shasta in California, Tibet, India, Australia, and South America.
Some believe that a portion of Lemuria didn’t sink at all, but instead shifted into a higher vibrational frequency, becoming invisible to the average human eye. In this view, Lemuria still exists, hidden in another dimension, waiting for humanity to evolve enough to reconnect.
Where Is the Kingdom of Lemuria?
The geographical identity of Lemuria has long been debated. Early proponents believed it lay in the Indian Ocean. Later interpretations, especially within New Age circles, placed it in the Pacific, forming what is often called the Ring of Fire, linking Hawaii, Polynesia, Micronesia, and even parts of Japan.
One of the most intriguing modern claims is Mount Shasta in Northern California. This majestic, snow-capped mountain is believed by some to house the entrance to Telos, a subterranean city of surviving Lemurians. Channelers, mystics, and spiritual seekers often report encounters with tall, wise beings and radiant temples within the mountain’s etheric realms.
Other supposed remnants of Lemuria include:
Easter Island – With its mysterious Moai statues, which some claim were built by Lemurian descendants.
Madagascar and Sri Lanka – Often tied to early Lemurian migration.
Australia and New Zealand – Considered spiritual outposts of the ancient land.
Though mainstream science dismisses the possibility of a sunken continent like Lemuria, researchers in plate tectonics and geology have identified submerged landmasses such as Zealandia and Mauritia, lending curious, if indirect, support to the legend.
The Lemurians – Who Were They?
Descriptions of Lemurians vary depending on the source, myth, psychic visions, or channeling sessions, but certain characteristics remain consistent.
Physiological Traits:
Extremely tall, often 7–10 feet.
Luminous, semi-transparent skin, often golden or pale blue.
Large, almond-shaped eyes, usually violet or turquoise.
Long lifespans, some say thousands of years.
Spiritual and Technological Mastery:
Masters of energy healing, crystal technology, and vibrational medicine.
Telepathic and telekinetic abilities.
Lived in harmony with Earth’s grids and chakras.
Used anti-gravity and solar technologies that are now lost to time.
According to Theosophical tradition, Lemurians were the “third root race”, a precursor to Atlanteans (the fourth root race) and modern humans (the fifth). They were androgynous in early stages, only later evolving into distinct genders. Their mission was to explore the divine within matter and the sacredness of life itself.
Some modern spiritual teachers believe that people who feel deeply connected to nature, water, or crystals, and who experience strong emotions during planetary shifts, may be reincarnated Lemurians or spiritually linked to Lemurian soul groups.
The Queen of Lemuria – Keeper of Wisdom
Lemuria was not ruled in the traditional sense of monarchies. Its governance was more akin to a council of enlightened beings, priestesses, and high initiates. Yet in many legends, a central feminine figure stands out, Queen Ra-Mu’ah, often described as the High Queen of Lemuria.
Ra-Mu’ah is a symbol of divine feminine wisdom. She is said to have held the sacred codes of Lemurian consciousness and served as the guardian of the Crystal Temples. With her council of priestesses, she maintained harmony between the people, nature, and spirit.
Depictions of Queen Ra-Mu’ah describe her as radiant, tall, and ageless, her aura shimmering in hues of violet and gold. She wore robes woven with star-thread and a crown embedded with sentient crystals that responded to her thoughts.
As Lemuria fell, Ra-Mu’ah led evacuation rituals, encoded knowledge into crystals, and retreated into inner-earth realms with her followers, vowing to one day return when humanity was ready to awaken once more.
What Happened To Lumerian People
While modern geology eventually invalidated the theory through plate tectonics and continental drift, the idea of Lemuria was adopted and expanded by various occult and theosophical writers.
According to Theosophy, particularly the works of Helena Blavatsky and later authors like W. Scott-Elliot, the Lemurians were a spiritually evolved race with psychic abilities and deep connections to nature and cosmic forces. They were said to have lived tens of thousands of years ago and possessed knowledge far beyond that of modern humans. Some accounts claim they communicated through telepathy, harnessed crystal technology, and lived in harmony with the Earth.
The fall of the Lemurian civilization is often described as a result of moral decline, misuse of power, or natural cataclysms. Legends speak of massive volcanic eruptions, tectonic shifts, or great floods that led to the sinking of Lemuria into the ocean. In some versions, the surviving Lemurians fled to hidden subterranean cities such as the mythical Telos beneath Mount Shasta in California, where they are believed by some to still exist today, guiding humanity’s spiritual evolution from behind the scenes.
Does Lemuria Still Exist?
That depends on how one defines “exist.”
Geologically? No scientific consensus supports the existence of a sunken continent like Lemuria, though submerged landmasses like Zealandia spark continued curiosity.
Spiritually? For many, Lemuria is more alive now than ever. Channelers, energy healers, and mystics around the world speak of reconnecting with Lemurian guides, receiving downloads of ancient wisdom, and awakening latent memories of life on that lost continent.
Culturally? The ideals of Lemuria, unity, harmony, healing, respect for nature, divine balance, are resurging in collective consciousness. Movements toward eco-living, crystal healing, plant medicine, sacred geometry, and feminine wisdom echo what was once central to Lemurian society.
In a sense, Lemuria may be less a place and more a state of being, a frequency or consciousness that we can attune to as we evolve.
Echoes in the Modern World
Though we may never uncover Lemuria’s ruins in the way we excavate ancient Rome or Angkor Wat, its influence persists:
Crystal Skulls and Temples – Believed by some to be Lemurian artifacts containing encoded wisdom.
Light Language and Sound Healing – Said to be rooted in Lemurian practices of frequency-based communication and healing.
Starseeds and Indigo Children – Modern spiritual movements often describe these souls as reincarnated Lemurians.
Mount Shasta Gatherings – Annual festivals and pilgrimages draw seekers hoping to connect with Telos and Lemurian beings.
The Legacy of Lemuria
The story of Lemuria, whether taken as fact or metaphor, touches something deep in the human spirit. It reminds us of a time, real or imagined, when love ruled, when we lived in balance with the Earth, and when spiritual wisdom was a birthright, not a mystery.
Maybe Lemuria never physically existed. Maybe it is a collective memory of what humanity once aspired to be, and what we may become again.
Or perhaps, hidden beneath oceans or tucked inside mountains, Lemuria waits. Not as a place to be discovered, but as a truth to be remembered.
In the end, the story of the Lost Kingdom of Lemuria is not just about the past. It’s about potential, of what humanity is capable of when aligned with nature, spirit, and love. Whether you see Lemuria as legend, metaphor, or multidimensional reality, one thing is clear:
Its memory endures because it speaks to something we are still searching for, a deeper connection to the Earth, to each other, and to ourselves.
Have you ever felt drawn to the ocean’s mysteries, the call of crystals, or the silence of ancient mountains? Perhaps Lemuria is not lost. Perhaps it lives within you. image/gaia
