The Story of the Glittering Plain or The Land of Living Men

Scott-Eliot was an English theosophist who suggests in his introduction that we should use astral clairvoyance in researching historical events. The author states "A time will come as certainly as the precession of the equinoxes, when the literary method of historical research will be laid aside as out of date, in the case of all original work. People among us who are capable of exercising astral clairvoyance in full perfection--but have not yet been called away to higher functions in connexion with the promotion of human progress, of which ordinary humanity at present knows even less than an Indian ryot knows of cabinet councils--are still very few. Those who know what the few can do, and through what processes of training and self-discipline they have passed in pursuit of interior ideals, of which when attained astral clairvoyance is but an individual circumstance, are many, but still a small minority as compared with the modern cultivated world. " Scott-Eliot said he received his knowledge from the Theosophical Masters by astral clairvoyance. The Story of Atlantis & The Lost Lemuria describes the continent of Lemuria as stretching from the east coast of Africa across the Indian and the Pacific Oceans.
