Welcome to the Metaphysical podcast for a continuation of this series on ancient lands, hidden history, and occultists. The first two episodes were on occultists James Churchward and Helena Blavatsky, who popularized concepts of lost continents from the ancient past once being in our oceans. But even though they were the ones to spread these ideas in modern times, which became incorporated into occult religions like Theosophy, the concepts didn’t actually originate with either of them.
The lands of Lemuria (which was claimed to be in the Indian Ocean) and Mu (which was in the Pacific) just might have been recorded by older and older groups like the Maya, Egyptians, and more. Stories about Lemuria and Mu’s deeper histories and their inhabitants got extremely interesting when John and Rob really started looking into it.
What is Lemuria, and where is Lemuria located? Does it really explain why lemurs are on both Madagascar and India? The Indian legend of Kumari Kandam, the mythical continent, was supposedly located in the same area. Are remnants of Lemuria on Easter Island and Australia? How do a NASA land map and models of the supercontinent of Pangea play into the story?
This kind of deep dive is one of the reasons why the Metaphysical podcast was created in the first place: to talk about John Vivanco’s remote viewing data on strange locations and events, and investigative research from Rob Counts about history. So join them for another show that’s out of this world.
