One of the more interesting things [Laura Knight-Jadczyk] mentions is how there seems to be evidence of a global cataclysm taking place in 12,000 BC,
which coincides with Plato's record of when Atlantis would have been destroyed.
In 'Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson,' Gurdjieff mentions Atlantis quite a bit, and also the cataclysm that destroyed Atlantis, as well as a few
other cataclysms too.
I know it's not 'scientific' to say so, but I feel very strongly the 'history' that we are taught in schools as kids and young adults is probably
greatly 'revised' or 'adulterated for public consumption'.
And I can understand why the average individual would automatically go into denial about such a possibility. After all, who would want to willingly
reject everything they've been 'taught' as probably 'false and deliberately misleading?'
Clearly, such a notion is 'terrifying' in a sense.
On the other hand, most people who are able to honestly look at the current state of human affairs on Earth today would have to admit that
governments, at least the western ones, as a rule, regard their 'populations' as mere 'herds of cattle,' allowing them to fed food dangerously
adulterated with poisonous chemicals, kept essentially in perpetual economic servitude, and otherwise generally 'exploited' for their entire lives.
Given this, why wouldn't the 'herd' be 'indoctrinated' with a 'revisionist history' suitable to the purposes of the 'establishment?'
Just kind of rambling here, but one really could argue the point both ways. I guess, ultimately you just have to 'go with your gut' on which view is
the 'correct' one.
Also, thanks for the Jadczyk reference. I am not familiar at all with her work, but will probably take a little time to look into it more.
