“The following interview with Sharula took place on July 23, 1990, and is reprinted from ‘INSIGHTS FOR POSITIVE LIVING.’ She shares with us some wonderful information about the ‘Atlantean’ and ‘Lemurian’ cities (i.e. cities originally ‘built’ by antediluvian ‘Atlanteans’ and ‘Lemurians’? – Branton) that exist beneath the earth’s surface.”She speaks of her home, Telos, a city built a mile or so beneath Mt. Shasta, California. During a recent trip to Mt. Shasta, I encountered several local townspeople who have personally seen mysterious fires and lights on the slopes of Mt. Shasta, and have heard otherworldly chants and music late at night, emanating from the mountain.
And of course, there have been sightings of mysterious robed people walking into the side of the mountain. Even the local visitor’s guide mentions the ‘Lemurian’ connection to Mt. Shasta.
“This interview may really stretch your perceptions of reality. I hope it does. It’s meant to…”INSIGHTS: Let’s start off with some basic questions of who you are and where you come from.”
“SHARULA: My name is Sharula and I come from a city underneath Mt. Shasta, called Telos. This city was constructed… at the termination of the Lemurian continent. When the scientists and priests of Lemuria realized the continent was about to sink, they petitioned a group called the Agharta Network, which controlled all the subterranean cities, to build our own city underneath Mt. Shasta. There was an original set of caves there. We chose to enlarge these caverns to make them bigger and more livable…”
(Note: Although most accounts seem to suggest that ‘Atlantis’ was destroyed in a cataclysm equivalent to a universal flood or deluge such as is described in the traditions of several races as well as in the writings of the Greek Plato, ‘Lemuria’ may be a different story. ‘Lemuria’ seems to be the name that surface humans have attributed to this alleged lost continent of the Pacific, but whether it was actually named that by the ancient inhabitants is uncertain. The major area of confusion seems to be whether ‘Lemuria’ or ‘Mu’ was an antediluvian OR post- deluvian society like ‘Agharti’. James Churchward seems to place ‘Mu’ somewhere in the Indian ocean, whereas others place it in the Pacific.
Some of the old Indian tribes of the northeast and the California area have ancient legends of an island-continent called ‘Elam-Mu’ which was said to be connected to ancient California or separate from it, out in the Pacific Ocean. Could the Hawaiian islands be remnants of such an island-continent? The native American legends of California seem to place ‘MU’ shortly AFTER the deluge, which was believed to have occurred a few thousand years B.C. or 5000 years previous to the close of the 20th Century.
The exact history of the ‘Telosians’ still needs to be investigated, even with the present information available, as it seems to be a complex history possibly involving several races – the Uighers, Naga-Mayas, Quetzal’s, ‘Lemurians’ or ‘Muvians’, Aghartians, and possibly Greeks, East Indians, and others!? – Branton).
“INSIGHTS: How many people live in Telos?”
“SHARULA: A million and a half.”
“INSIGHTS: Tell us about your ecosystem; your water, food, air, environment–what is it like to live in Telos?”
“SHARULA: We have perpetual light through a process of energizing stones to create full spectrum lighting. We process them with the forces that make them small suns. The five levels are garden levels where we produce all the food we need with hydroponic gardens. There are plants on all five levels that continue to circulate the air. We work off the same system the earth does – the plants produce oxygen (i.e. a subterranean ‘biosphere’ – Branton).
Plus, we have air shafts that come through the surface that sends air. Since that air is polluted, we use them less and less.”
(Note: Several years ago a man wrote into SEARCH Magazine stating that he was an Incan descendant who was “searching for” his own people, as he was convinced that they had escaped en masse into underground cities via ancient tunnels which they knew of, when the conquistadors invaded their land. He claimed that one day while by a river in a certain region near Matto Grosso, Brazil, he thought he heard a voice shouting from the top of a mountain. He began to climb the peak and a few hours later found himself beside a mountain-top shaft.
He later managed to descend the shaft and discovered a tunnel which led horizontally to a point where a type of “door” existed. He heard what sounded like an “elevator” coming up from deep below and a well-built man who claimed to be part “Incan” appeared and introduced himself through a transparent screen. He was told that anyone entering this particular subterranean region had to undergo a physical “purification” process to remove the radioactive poisons from their bodies, which were resident in the atmosphere of the outer world. Could this explain why the lifespan of some of the under-people has reportedly increased dramatically?
The Old Testament ‘Torah’ states that previous to the deluge a transparent ‘canopy’ of water vapor permeated the upper atmosphere, and some suggest that before this canopy fell in the form of the deluge the life-span of the antediluvians was dramatically increased because this “canopy” sealed-out most of the harmful and degenerating radiations of the sun. They suggest that this was why the antediluvians lived to an average of 500 years of age, while some like Methuselah lived upwards of 900 years! It appears as if the ‘Telosians’ have taken precautions not only from the atmospheric solar radioactive pollution resulting from a decaying atmospheric ‘shield’, as is evidenced by an increase in skin-cancer world-wide, etc., but also from the man-made radioactive and industrial pollutants – Branton)
“INSIGHTS: What form of government do you have?”
“SHARULA: We have a system where the government is run by the council of twelve plus one. They are twelve masters, six male and six female. If anyone has a disagreement, they go to an arbitrator, rather than fight it out among themselves. All arbitrators report to the council and they change constantly. They are appointed to that position based on their natural affinity for it.”
“INSIGHTS: Who appoints them to that position?”
“SHARULA: The temple of Melchizedek… All through the cosmos (i.e. human colonizers and explorers sent out from the earth since the deluge? – Branton) there is an order called Melchizedek…”
At this point we will, before continuing with the Sharula interview, deal with the history of ‘Melchizedek’, which began on Earth in ancient times. Melchizedek was the ancient High Priest of Salem (now Jerusalem). We believe that this subject is important enough to deserve a fairly extensive explanation. There are basically two divergent views concerning the Priesthood of Melchizedek.
The first is held by the various ancient and neo-masonic religions, which basically state that there are NUMEROUS members of the order who have been ‘initiated’ into the priesthood through a process of religious devotion, etc., while the other view is held by the various groups of Judeo-Christian believers who claim that there is only one Melchizedek Priest, the God-Man Jesus, and since only one High Priest was allowed to serve before Almighty God at any one time in ancient Israel–to be replaced by another when he had passed on–these claim that since Jesus ascended from the grave and now lives forever without the possibility of every dying, this singular Priesthood will be His alone eternally. Both sides no doubt sincerely believe that they have ‘the truth’, but, of course, both cannot be correct.
Many believe that the ancient Melchizedek was none other than the Christ, Jesus of Nazareth, or was in essence a ‘thiophene’ or an Old Testament appearance of Jesus-Jehovah. They make the following connections and similarities between Melchizedek and Jesus as evidence of their beliefs:
