I read this book as part of my research into the legend of the lost continent of Atlantis which is bordering on an obsession for me right now. It's like I can feel Atlantis calling to me from across the centuries.The writing style is very unusual. It contains many profound statements about Jesus Christ, the meaning of life, good and evil, etc.To me the best parts were the descriptions of life on Atlantis. These include not only the advanced technology but also the underlying spiritual principles, social structure, criminal justice system, etc.. This information is presented in the form of a first person narrative meaning the author claims to have actually lived on Atlantis in a previous life.We can call it 'technology' but it was more a knowledge of the fundamental forces of nature. Eventually the high priests in Atlantis (not everyone else) found they didn't need physical air planes and things like this to travel. They could project their bodies to other places. This was just the result of a more advanced understanding of those same mysterious 'night forces'.Whether or not I actually believe everything stated in this book I would say no. I don't see how anyone could be living on the planet Venus in physical form. We know now that Venus is an uninhabitable, volcanic wasteland. If anyone is living there it's not in the physical form that we are familiar with.However I do believe in Atlantis and the information presented here is consistent with the statements made by the American psychic Edgar Cayce who I do believe in.I would say the author had a lot of knowledge about Atlantis and other arcane subjects and was some type of mystic or supernatural being.Either that or he had done a lot of research in these areas and then constructed a very elaborate and detailed fictional story for some unknown reason.In any case the story is consistent throughout and doesn't contradict itself. It all seems to make sense as far as how the sequence of events are described.My own conclusion is this book contains real events and facts about Atlantis which are then embellished to create an interesting fictional story.Or possibly the author himself really believes it but he himself was deceived by some weird spirit guides.
