About the book: year / This article is taken from the book "Atlantis and the Circles of Time", authored by the famous British researcher of esotericism Professor Godwin. In his opinion, the most significant contribution to occult atlantology was made by the founder of the Theosophical Society, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. He claims, in particular, that her Isis Unveiled is a book containing the stream of consciousness of an "incredibly erudite man." According to Godwin, the "stumbling block" of science, which has remained unchanged since the 19th century, is the "refusal to consider anything beyond material reality." This is precisely what deprives her of the opportunity to penetrate into “the secrets of both cosmic and human origin.” He writes that, in Blavatsky's opinion, Plato relied more "on the intuition of a decent person than on the intelligence of a geographer, ethnologist or historian" when he concentrated the entire history of Atlantis, covering several million years, in one event associated with "a small island ... the size of Ireland».
