On This Page

Description

First English translation of the book that introduced the realm of Hollow Earth * Explores the underground world of Agarttha, sometimes known as Shambhala, a realm that is spiritually and technologically advanced beyond our modern culture * One of the most influential works of 19th-century occultism * Written by the philosopher who influenced Papus, Rene Guénon, and Rudolf Steiner The underground realm of Agarttha was first introduced to the Western world in 1886 by the French esoteric show more philosopher Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre with his book Mission de l'Inde, translated here for the first time into English. Saint-Yves's book maintained that deep below the Himalayas were enormous underground cities, which were under the rule of a sovereign pontiff known as the Brahâtma. Throughout history, the "unknown superiors" cited by secret societies were believed to be emissaries from this realm who had moved underground at the onset of the Kali-Yuga, the Iron Age. Ruled in accordance with the highest principles, the kingdom of Agarttha, sometimes known as Shambhala, represents a world that is far advanced beyond our modern culture, both technologically and spiritually. The inhabitants possess amazing skills their above ground counterparts have long since forgotten. In addition, Agarttha is home to huge libraries of books engraved in stone, enshrining the collective knowledge of humanity from its remotest origins. Saint-Yves explained that the secret world of Agarttha, and all its wisdom and wealth, would be made available for humanity when Christianity and all other known religions of the world began truly honoring their own sacred teachings. show less

I thought this was a hollow earth novel but rather it is a religious/conspiracy theory bit of nonsense. It's actually the third book in a series so a lot of its buzzwords and terms must have been introduced in the previous entries.

Imagine the kind of religious pamphlet handed out on street corners, combined with some rejected scripts for Ancient Aliens and the assortment of scribblings police tend to refer to as a Manifesto after they've retrieved it from the serial killers home. That should give you some idea of what we're dealing with here.

The basic premise of this would be belief system is that all religions stem from a single point in this case a mostly underground kingdom of about 15 million people. This civilization is of course show more perfect and advanced beyond the rest of mankind.

Like scientology and other cults access can only be granted in stages and of course the author can't tell us anything provable until we're willing to accept his religion without proof.
Also accepting this religion is the only way to save europe from the chinese or something.

There's some mildly interesting details like that the Agartthan's found some dragons and bird people underground somewhere, and also they eugenically engineered a weird tortoise thing with eye's on its legs and a foot pointing in each compass direction.

There is one good thing i got from this though, we are currently dealing with a global problem of people believing that facts are negotiable and reality is whatever they want it to be, which is pretty disheartening and even scary, but this work from the 1880's at least shows that is nothing new ;) .

LA MISIÓN DE LA INDIA EN EUROPA:
Y LA MISIÓN EN ASIA

Antes de escribir estas páginas, he dudado durante mucho tiempo, durante mucho tiempo he rezado
angustiado con humildad y olvido de mí mismo.
Me he levantado con una invencible resolución, seguro del bien que hago, no sólo a los nobles
espíritus que se han adherido a mis obras precedentes, sino también a los pueblos de las dos partes del
mundo a las que me dirijo aquí.
Pero antes de nada, quiero expresar mi agradecimiento a la élite de inteligencias y de almas que han
tenido el valor de expresar públicamente por escrito su asentimiento a esta ley orgánica de la Historia y
de las Sociedades humanas: La Sinarquía, es decir, lo contrario de la Anarquía.
En esta fórmula show more constitucional, el Sr. Ernest Desmarest, ex-decano de la orden de abogados de París,
y el Sr. Hippolyte Destrem, autor de Perte ou salut de la France, han visto la reorganización metódica
de las relaciones internacionales: Comptes rendus du Congres de Bruxelles, Petit Républicain, la
Presse.
El Sr. conde Charles de Montblanc ha reconocido en ella la ley científica de la Historia y la del SelfGovernment de las Sociedades: le Figaro.
El Sr. barón Théodore de Cambourg se ha fijado particularmente en la representación nacional por
especialidades, tal y como yo llamo a la tercera Cámara; y se ha convertido en el apóstol de la creación
de una Cámara de Economía nacional, destinada a equilibrar mediante el peso de todos los intereses la
política pasional de los partidos: Gazette de France.
En la fórmula sinárquica, el Sr. canónigo Roca, antiguo empleado de la escuela universitaria de los
Carmes, ha constatado la posibilidad de una conciliación orgánica entre la Fe y la Ciencia, los Cuerpos
de enseñanza eclesiásticos y las Universidades, el Culto y la Sociedad Civil: La Crise fatale et le salut
de l'Europe, La fin de l'ancien monde.
El Reverendo Padre Curci ha visto en esta fórmula un gobierno intelectual y social. deseable, del
que no teme preconizar hacer un ensayo: Il Socialismo cristiano.
El Sr. Pastor de la Fresnaye ha encontrado en ella la conclusión judeocristiana de la Historia, a la
vez que la ley positiva de la solidaridad: Courrier de la Gironde.
El Sr. Isaac Lévy, gran Rabino de Vesoul, ha destacado sobre todo la reconciliación de la razón y la
fe, la preocupación por lograr un gobierno capaz de asegurar la felicidad de la Humanidad y la paz
mutua entre los cultos y las enseñanzas: Famille de Jacob.
El Sr. Louis Pauliat termina con la creencia del retorno de la Sinarquía universal: Nouvelle Revue.
El Sr. Charles Limousin no ha temido reconocer la profunda impresión que la lectura de las Misiones
había causado a su espíritu: Revue du mouvement social
