Lemuria
Definition
The articulation of a prior cosmic-cycle's high-civilization in the Pacific-and-Indian-Ocean regions of Earth before the cycle-completion that the Younger-Dryas event articulates. Lemuria articulates one of the major prior-cycle civilizational-articulations that the Netist tradition holds; the articulation is structurally-distinct from the standard-archaeological articulation but participates in the broader cycle-ladder's articulation of prior-Anthropogenic-Cycle achievements.
Literal meaning
The articulation of a prior-cycle high-civilization centered in the Pacific-and-Indian-Ocean region. The standard-archaeological articulation does not recognize Lemuria as historical-fact; the Netist articulation reads the broader esoteric-tradition's articulation of Lemuria as a structural-articulation of the prior cosmic-cycle's civilizational-achievement that has been substantially-erased by the cycle-completion event.
Esoteric meaning
Lemuria articulates the structural-feature that the broader esoteric-tradition has held as *the prior Pacific-cycle civilization*. The structural-recognition is that the prior Anthropogenic Cycle (the cycle preceding the current cycle, which began approximately 12,000 years ago) included high-civilizational articulations that have been substantially-erased by the cycle-completion; the broader esoteric-tradition has preserved articulations of these prior-civilizations through transmission-channels that operate independent of the standard-archaeological evidence. The Netist articulation does not claim Lemuria as a verifiable-historical-fact in the standard-archaeological sense; the articulation operates at the structural-tradition layer that the broader contemplative-tradition holds.
Allegorical meaning
A great library that has burned-and-been-buried, with only fragmentary-articulations preserved through oral-tradition: the library's structural-existence is real in the historical-sense, the burning-and-burial is what has erased the broader-archaeological evidence, and the oral-tradition's articulations are what preserve the structural-features the library held.
Extended meaning
Lemuria articulates several structural-features in the broader esoteric-tradition: (1) The Lemurian-cycle is articulated as a prior-cycle high-civilization centered in the Pacific-and-Indian-Ocean region, with substantial-articulations in what is now Polynesia, Indonesia, and the broader Indo-Pacific archipelago; (2) The Lemurian-civilization is articulated as having developed contemplative-and-energy-architecture practices at advanced levels; the broader contemplative-tradition has held that the Lemurian-articulations contributed to the broader cosmic-architecture-tradition before the cycle-completion; (3) The Lemurian-cycle's completion is articulated as a major cataclysm that erased substantial-portions of the civilizational-articulation; the Younger-Dryas event articulates this completion at the broader-cycle scale, the specific-Lemurian articulations are held in the broader esoteric-tradition. The Netist articulation reads Lemuria as part of the broader prior-cycle civilizational-articulation that includes Atlantis (in the broader-tradition's articulation) and the prior-cycle articulations preserved through the Egyptian-and-Sumerian-transmissions.
*Lemuria* articulates a prior-cycle civilizational-articulation in the broader esoteric-tradition. The article complements *Atlantis*, *Younger Dryas*, *Anthropogenic Cycle*, and broader prior-cycle articulations.
Usage
A practitioner encounters Lemuria in the broader articulation of prior-cycle civilizational-tradition. The article's operative recognition is that the articulation operates at the structural-tradition layer rather than at the standard-archaeological-evidence layer.
Comparative tradition
Theosophical articulation of Lemuria in the broader Theosophical-corpus (Madame Blavatsky's *The Secret Teaching*). The broader esoteric-tradition's articulations of Lemuria across many specific tradition-articulations.
Science correspondence
The standard-archaeological consensus does not recognize Lemuria as historical-fact. The contemporary research on Younger-Dryas cataclysm provides the broader-cycle-completion context within which the broader esoteric-articulation of Lemuria operates.
