Michael Le Flem: The Cultural Curiosities of Atlantis

People the world over have grappled with the story of Atlantis for millennia. But how much is fact? How much is fiction? How much is something else, filtered through the obscuring lens of time?Clairvoyant impressions from Edgar Cayce, Frederick Oliver, Rudolf Steiner, Barbara Hand Clow, and others supplement a concerted scientific, philosophical, and historical investigation of humanity's antediluvian achievements and Atlantis' tragic demise.At the same time, listeners will see just how the story of Atlantis has evolved from the seminal account passed down by Plato almost 2,400 years ago into those of the present day, as we engage with some of its strongest proponents and harshest critics alike.More than just a dry catalog of Atlantean footnotes, Visions of Atlantis strikes at the core of the great divide between materialist reductionism and the frontiers of metaphysics, enjoining listeners to reconsider some of their most deeply held beliefs about ancient technology, psychic phenomena, reincarnation, and the vast unknown past.Michael Le Flem, M.A. is a researcher, adjunct professor of history and philosophy, columnist for New Dawn Magazine and KennedysandKing.com, a scuba diver and guitarist.
