Wollen wir sehen, wie tief sie herausgeschöpft sind aus der Weltenweisheit, so müssen wir anknüpfen an etwas, was die Theosophie zur völligen Klarheit bringt, so widersprechend es der heutigen Wissenschaft auch ist. Unsere weit zurückliegenden Vorfahren bewohnten ein Landgebiet, das gelegen hat im Westen von Europa, zwischen Afrika und Amerika. Sogar die Naturwissenschaft kommt nach und nach schon darauf, daß da einstmals Land war, ein Land, das wir die Atlantis nennen. Da lebten unsere uralten Vorfahren, die freilich ganz anders gestaltet waren. Wie gesagt, heute fängt schon die Naturwissenschaft an, von dieser alten Atlantis zu reden. In einer Zeitschrift, «Kosmos», herausgegeben unter der Ägide Haeckels, wurde ein Aufsatz darüber veröffentlicht. Da ist freilich nur die Rede davon, was für Tiere und Pflanzen da gelebt haben.
