For example, we know from spiritual research that the transition from the ancient Atlantean culture to the first post-Atlantean culture was such a vortex. Natural science only knows the most elementary aspects of this event. Spiritual science tells us that the space between Europe and America, which is now the Atlantic Ocean, was filled with a continent on which an ancient civilization developed, a continent that was submerged by the Flood. This proves that what Plato referred to as the disappearance of the Island of Poseidon is based on facts; the island was part of the ancient Atlantean continent. The spiritual aspect of that ancient culture vanished, and a new culture arose. The vortex is a sign for this event; the inward-turning spiral signifies the old civilization and the outward-turning the new.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XI.

Die Geisteswissenschaft zeigt Ihnen hier etwas, was die heutige Naturwissenschaft nur in der ersten elementarsten Stufe kennt. Sie zeigt Ihnen, daß das, was heute Meer ist zwischen Europa und Amerika, ausgefüllt war mit einem Kontinente, daß sich eine uralte Kultur da entwickelt hatte, daß durch die «Sündflut» jener Kontinent überflutet wurde und verschwand. Dies zeigt uns, daß das, was uns Plato von dem Untergang der Insel Poseidonis mitteilt, auf Richtigkeit beruht, und daß sie ein Rest des uralten, atlantischen Kontinentes war. Jene Kultur verschwand in bezug auf ihre geistige Eigenschaft, und eine neue Kultur trat auf, so daß man diesen Vorgang kennzeichnen kann mit den zwei ineinander sich schlingenden Spiralen, dem Wirbel.
