Iceland and Atlantis

I departed from London's Heathrow airport on the evening of Thursday 12th July, and two days later crossed the desert interior by four wheeled drive bus to Lake Myvatn in the north, where I was to spend the next six nights. One of the many things that I did while visiting the Lake was to take a thirteen-hour trip to the dormant volcano Askja, that lies in Iceland's uninhabited interior, north of the ice cap Vatnajokull. The landscape there is thought to be very similar to the Moon, and it is here that the American Astronauts were trained in preparation for the Moon Landings.

As the trip progressed I started to feel all sorts of strange energies moving through me, and at times felt that I was almost slipping in and out of parallel universes. This may in fact have been the case, as there are areas around Lake Myvatn, that geologically speaking is one of Iceland's most active areas, where the land you walk on is only three kilometres from the Earth's Crust.

One of the many pieces of information that I was given was that the Geysir was in fact an important feeding point for the higher sacral chakra of the world, the Snaefellsjokull Glacier. This Glacier lies at the western most tip of the Snaefellsnes Peninsula, in the west of Iceland, and is renowned as one of the major energetic power centres of the world. It was here that Jules Verne received the inspiration to write his book Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

Many of the American crystal skull researchers talk of an Inner Earth that is thought to be inhabited by various advanced races of beings, who are believed to be the same extra terrestrial tribes that may have first brought the crystal skulls to Earth. This Inner Earth is said to have it's own Sun, and the northern lights, aurora borealis are a reflection of this Sun over the Earth's North and South Poles. I wondered whether Snaefellsjokull was in fact the entrance to the Inner Earth.

It certainly makes sense to me that the higher sacral chakra should be situated in Iceland, as Icelanders are one of the most artistically creative people on Earth, writing and reading more books than any other nation. The Icelandic Sagas were written during the 12th and 13th Centuries, and relay stories about the early settlers, their struggles, romances and disputes. Many of these books are accepted as more fact than fiction. They were written in the Old Norse language, from which all Scandinavian languages are derived. Due to its isolation, the Icelandic language has changed little since this time, and it is still possible to read these books in their original form from the manuscripts that have been preserved.

The sacral centre is also associated with the water element, and the feminine energy. Iceland's links to the Atlantean Royal Family of Water have already been established, and women here had equal rights from the time of settlement in 974 CE. They had the right to divorce their husbands whenever they chose. If a husband divorced his wife, then he was obliged to pay her compensation. If she left with the children, then she was entitled to claim half of his wealth. While the men were away, the running of the farms was left to the women. They took on all the duties normally performed by the men, including the defence of the property. They were also allowed to attend the Parliament and Law Making Assemblies.

In fact, Iceland has the oldest democratic Parliament in the world, founded in the year 930 AD, and known as the Althing. This took place for two weeks every summer at the assembly plains of Thingvellir; a natural rift valley situated an hour's drive from Reykjavik. People would journey from all around the country in order to attend, as it was regarded as the social event of the year. It was here that Laws were drawn up, disputes settled, marriages and business contracts arranged, and executions carried out. It was also here in 1000 CE that Christianity was peacefully adopted. In 1928 Thingvellir was decreed a National Park. Most modern Icelanders now regard it as their National Shrine.

The Snaefellsnes Peninsula is one of my favourite places in the whole of Iceland, but one that I had not planned to visit this time around. However, the universe in its wisdom had other ideas, and conspired to bring me to this place so that I could also have access to these energies.
