Lemuria

Lemuria
the lost continent
sunk beneath the Indian Ocean
like Atlantis
or was she Atlantis?

Helen Blavatsky used pseudoarcheology to incorporate her
into her mystical-religious doctrines
she claimed Lemurians were mystical
possessing powers of esp
able to communicate with extraterrestrials

her writings elevated the myth of Lemuria
an exaggeration of evidence
but proof of a brilliant imagination
a cornerstone of her philosophy of theosophy
