Background InformationAbout BEYOND LEMURIA
BEYOND LEMURIA is a feature length dramatic production to be released in DVD format through world-wide internet distributors. It is the latest in a series of New Age features produced by The Church of the Hermetic Sciences, a California non-profit religious and educational association incorporated in 1971. C.H.S. Productions is headed by Carroll 'Poke' Runyon, author, anthropologist and documentary film maker.
BEYOND LEMURIA is more than science-fiction. It is a unique spiritual adventure presented in the format of a mystic initiation ritual. The story unfolds as a symbolic morality play involving two groups of people, portrayed by the same actors, but dedicated to different goals. The sinister Draconians search for antediluvian secrets of poswer in the lava caves north of Mount Shasta while the spiritually minded Lothinians seek enlightenment from the Ancient Masters on the slopes of the Holy Mountain--thus the dark depths and the shining heights of human nature are explored against the awesome metaphor of Nature herself.
BEYOND LEMURIA was filmed on location in the ancient, jungle shrouded ruins of lost Lemuria in the Pacific, deep in the lava caves near Mount Shasta, and high upon the slopes of the Sacred Mountain.
BEYOND LEMURIA honors and extols the mystical heritage of California's Sacred Mountain in an artistic and evocative presentation that all of us who revere Mt. Shasta can share with pride.
The Shaver Mystery
The Shaver Mystery is a nightmarish view of our world in which mutated subterranean survivors of Lemuria called 'Deros' inhabit a vast, ancient network of caverns under our feet---caverns where long-range ray machines of the ancient Elder Gods are still in working order, and used by these cave-dwellers to torment, abduct and even kill surface people---driving them insane, inflicting strokes, epilepsy and even spontaneous human combustion ñ-a terrifying phenomena which confounds even our most ardent scientific skeptics.
The late Richard S. Shaver is currently recognized as a surrealist painter. His amazing artworks from the 1960s were created by projecting patterns in slices of rock and then rendering them into chaotic visions of a lost antediluvian world.
As a science fiction writer in the 1940s Shaver believed that his accounts of the vast, incredibly ancient cavern world still existing under the surface of our earth, and still inhabited by the demented survivors of a prehistoric atomic war, were absolutely true!
The Shaver Mystery was not a hoax as far as Shaver was concerned; it was a warning!
Raymond A. Palmer, the editor of the popular science fiction magazine Amazing Stories, not only published Shaverís work, he endorsed it as based on fact. Palmer was an occultist and quite familiar with world-wide legends of underground realms, hollow earth theories, the lost continents of Atlantis and Lemuria, the folklore of subterranean beings: gnomes, kobalds and trolls---and the underworld demons of hell.
Beginning in March 1945 with I Remember Lemuria Palmer ran twenty-four Shaver fact-based novels and stories about this forbidden underground world over the next four years. Millions of readers believed these tales were true.
Mystic Mount Shasta
Rising in isolated splendor in a remote and sparsely populated area of Northern California, just south of the Oregon border, Mt. Shasta is a 14,000 foot high dormant volcano that completely dominates the surrounding countryside. Standing alone in solitary grandeur this snow-capped peak can been seen for a hundred miles. It is small wonder that the Native Americans considered it holy. It was known as the Great Sacred Mountain throughout Western America long before the white man came.
Mt. Shasta is a place of awesome power and ancient memories; a gateway to other worlds and higher dimensions. Here one meets the Lemurians, the Atlanteans, the ancient Masters of Magick - and even the Elder Gods from beyond space and time!
The Master Phylos
Back in 1884, on the slopes of Mt. Shasta, a 17 year old by named Frederick Spencer Oliver received a visionary contact from a mysterious Atlantean sage named Phylos. Over the next two years, Phylos dictated a remarkable story which young Oliver faithfully transcribed.
Phylos's book was finally published at the end of the 19th century under the title A DWELLER ON TWO PLANETS. It was an account of a previous incarnation in Atlantis in which the religion, advanced technology and magical practices of Atlantis were described in detail.
Phylos himself was initiated into the ancient LOTHINIAN BROTHERHOOD on the slopes of Mt. Shasta in 1866. In his 19th century incarnation as a mining engineer he was guided on his quest by a Chinese adept who directed him to climb a secret path up to where a shimmering temple appeared, like a mirage, on the slope of the Sacred Mountain.
Phylos became the archetype of Lemurian-Atlantean and traditional mystic masters, that spiritual pilgrims meet on the slopes of Mt. Shasta even today. In BEYOND LEMURIA he and his 21st century Lothinians struggle against the powerful forces of evil that lurk just beyond The Dark Vortex, deep in the lava caves to the north of The Holy Mountain.
The Treasure of Pluto's Cave
Unfortunately wherever there is great good, great evil is not far away. Located a few miles north of Mt. Shasta is a treacherous labyrinth of ancient lava tubes. This cave network, sometimes called 'Satanís Cavern,' runs like the tunnels of a huge anthill under the desolate volcanic wasteland. There is a local legend about an old Spanish treasure hidden far back in the darkest reaches of the cavern, and stories about people who went in looking for it and never came out.
In 1934 a 79 year old Mt. Shasta prospector, J. C. Brown,claimed to have 'the old Spanish treasure map' and agreed to lead an expedition deep into Plutoís Cavewhere he said they would find 'the skull of dragon littered with gold!' --- But then Brown and his map mysteriously disappeared!
BEYOND LEMURIA reveals the terrifying secret behind J. C. Brownís lost treasure.
