INTRODUCTION

Are you a Lemurian? Or do you have an inner feeling that you were a Lemurian in the long-forgotten days when Lemuria or Mukulia was not only a great civilization, but an Empire?

Fifty years ago, many of those who found their way to the Lemurian Fellowship came to ask, "What is Lemuria?" Now it’s a rare person who hasn’t heard something about this mythical land that has inspired books, movies, and even a comic strip that debuted in the 1930s.

An idea with such a hold on the human imagination must have some basis. Is it possible that the suggestion of a prehistoric civilization that flourished for thousands of years could stir long-forgotten memories of our own lives there?

Robert D. Stelle, the founder of the Lemurian Fellowship, was an unusual man who became interested in this question long before the idea of Lemuria captured the popular imagination. He was contacted by more highly advanced men and women known as Masters, who helped and encouraged him in his efforts to learn more that could help people everywhere. When he learned that the Lemurians developed the most nearly perfect civilization Earth has known, he realized how vital it was to help others understand how this was possible so we, too, could create a society where everyone could benefit, not just the few.

This book, comprised of personal experiences written by Lemurian Fellowship teachers and students, talks about Lemurian life today as well as glimpses into Lemurian history taken from Dr. Stelle’s book, The Sun Rises. It reveals information about the Masters who guide and direct the Fellowship, and experiences from Lemurian students’ lives, showing how the Philosophy can help any of us make positive changes and create a sphere of positive protection around ourselves in this rapidly changing, uncertain world.

ANCIENT WISDOM

WE’RE ALL ONE IN GOD’S WORLD

With the extreme conditions we are seeing more and more often, people everywhere long for reassurance and peace, and We’re all one may seem like a distant dream. So may it bring hope to consider that, with the core of goodness inside so much of humankind, a more inclusive and positive future is not only urgently needed, but entirely achievable. No matter where we live or what our beliefs, all of us have a common basis in the desire for freedom, security, and peace of mind. We’re all one, as reflected so well in the expression of the Golden Rule in seven world religions:

Christianity – All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.

Confucianism – Do not unto others what you would not they should do to you.

Buddhism – In five ways should a clansman minister to his friends and familiars – by generosity, courtesy and benevolence, by treating them as he treats himself, and by being as good as his word.

Hinduism – Do not to others, which if done to thee would cause thee pain.

Islam – No one of you is a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.

Judaism – What is hurtful to yourself, do not to your fellow man.

Taoism – Regard your neighbor’s gain as your own gain and regard your neighbor’s loss as your own loss.

With this universal principle as a basis, and to help bring us together in friendship and harmony, wise and understanding Masters have supplied the essential information we need in the Lemurian Philosophy. It is based on principles that apply to all people, no matter what race, color, or belief. Within it are plans for a magnificent program that will culminate in the Kingdom of God – a civilization that must first be built within each of us with every kind and positive thought and action. Within it, all will live and work together in harmony and for the greatest good of all, knowing that only in this way may they earn these spiritual treasures for themselves.

If this sounds like a Utopian scheme to you, you may be encouraged to know that Lemurian principles have been used before to build a harmonious civilization that endured for thousands of years. And as we begin to transmute our present civilization into a more ideal one, Lemurian students have been living and working together using these principles in Southern California for over sixty years. They are proving the validity and efficacy of this way of life and are actively earning a place in the coming civilization. You can too!

May you be reassured by the thought that we’re all one and affected by each other whether near or far. As we take hold of the guidance of those greater than ourselves, together we can build a more peaceful today and work together for a better tomorrow.

CONFUCIUS: ONE OF THE GREAT ONES WE HONOR

About 500 years before the Advent of Christ, a great wave of spiritual illumination swept the world. Some of the greatest religious and moral teachers – Confucius and Lao-Tse in China, Buddha in India, Zoroaster in Persia, Socrates and Plato in Greece – incarnated nearly simultaneously and their accomplishments were phenomenal. Doesn’t this seem like the outworking of a farseeing plan to prepare the way for Christ?

Confucius (Kung-fu-tze) may have had more influence over more people for a longer time than anyone other than Christ. His philosophy, laws, and literature became Chinese national classics. Every city and town had shrines for this revered teacher and inspired sage. His precepts influenced the social customs and religious thinking of millions of Chinese for 2,400 years.

A shrewd teacher, facile in his opinions and questions, he was never known to argue. By 30, his fame attracted students from all over the country and brought him three thousand disciples. Feeling ordained to teach government and morals to humanity, he looked for employment at the courts, but most princes would not accept him. Though this seemed a failure, he had great confidence in himself and his mission. He wouldn’t change his rules and principles yet admitted that I am a transmitter and not a maker, believing in and loving the ancients. I am not virtuous enough to be free from anxiety, not wise enough to be free from perplexities, and not bold enough to be free from fears.

Confucius taught that human nature is good and can be developed to perfection. He said the superior person conquers and cultivates life to rise above all its littleness and master himself, yet never claimed he had reached that point. He emphasized our tendency to kindliness, happiness in doing good, desire for justice, hope, and the attraction of higher ideals, saying these are the normal, true ideals of life. Confucius was said to be a lot like Benjamin Franklin in spirit, manners, wisdom and even appearance.

Historian Will Durant, who spent forty years writing the eleven volumes of The Story of Civilization, considered the following passage by Confucius the wisest in all literature, as complete a guide to life today as it was to life in China in 500 B.C.:

The ancients who wished to exemplify the highest virtue throughout the empire first ordered well their own states. Wishing to order their states, they first regulated their families. Wishing to regulate their families, they first cultivated their own selves. Wishing to cultivate their own selves, they first rectified their hearts. Wishing to rectify their hearts, they first sought to be sincere in their thoughts. Wishing to be sincere in their thoughts, they first extended to the utmost their knowledge. Such extension of knowledge lay in the solving of problems.

This conforms perfectly to the Lemurian approach to life, where students and Order members work to improve their most pressing problems using the knowledge they have gained by applying Lemurian principles in their lives and affairs. Then each student becomes a building block for the better civilization to come, as Confucius explains:

Problems being solved, knowledge became complete. Knowledge being complete, their thoughts were sincere. Their thoughts being sincere, their hearts were rectified. With hearts rectified, their own selves were cultivated. Their own selves cultivated; their families were regulated. Their families regulated; their states were rightly governed. Their states rightly governed, the whole empire was made tranquil and happy.

It is always tempting to speculate on what other incarnations a great Ego may have had. Is it possible Confucius was a later incarnation of another Chi Yan well known to Lemurians? We don’t know, but it’s interesting to ponder!

MAYA DISCOVERY

Maya civilization was much vaster than known, thousands of newly discovered structures reveal

– The Washington Post, February 3rd, 2018

What does this Maya discovery have to do with the lost continent of Lemuria? you may ask, and the connection seems quite obscure without the advantage of a little ancient history.

A hundred and twenty years ago the Lemurian Fellowship’s founder, Robert Stelle, then just a teenager, was prospecting with two other Americans when they encountered Mayas in southern Mexico. These people were suspicious of strangers and anyone who spoke Spanish, although they understood the language. This put the trio in a difficult spot because English was almost unknown to the Maya, but they managed to make friends by treating them honestly and respecting their customs.

When they were sure these white men wouldn’t take advantage of them, the Maya showed them carefully hidden ancient temples, some buried under earth and rubble that had been laboriously carried and poured over them by their ancestors to hide them from the Spanish. Robert and his two companions entered one of these buried buildings, encountering two deadly traps they managed to survive, eventually reaching a room they estimated to be 100 feet long and 60 feet wide, its roof supported by beautifully carved stone pillars. The walls were covered with beautifully painted scenes.

The stone floor, Dr. Stelle recalled years later, showed the wear of long usage, having been worn to a depth of a foot or so where people entered and left the room. Considering the hardness of the stone, that it was protected from the elements, and that the feet passing over it were bare or clad only in soft leather moccasins, we can only guess at the age of this building. How great must have been the population of this area?

When Robert and his friends left this hidden building, they carefully closed the entrance with fresh logs covered with dirt to honor their promise to the Maya not to reveal anything they discovered. From that time until they left the country, the Maya were always friendly and helped them carry their equipment until they could find
