Lemuria: The Predecessor to Atlantis and the First ET-Human Contact

Bashar describes Lemuria (Mu) as a civilization that predated Atlantis by several thousand years, located primarily in the Pacific region. Unlike the technologically oriented Atlanteans, the Lemurians were spiritually focused, maintaining direct telepathic communication with extraterrestrial guides and living in harmony with nature.

Bashar states that Lemuria was the site of the first sustained ET-human interaction on Earth, where beings from Sirius and the Pleiades taught early humans about consciousness, energy healing, and planetary stewardship. The Lemurian civilization gradually declined not through catastrophe but through a gentle dispersal—its people spreading across the globe and seeding indigenous cultures with their wisdom.

Bashar notes that many native traditions (Hawaiian, Polynesian, Aboriginal) carry Lemurian memory. He also teaches that Lemurian crystal healing techniques are being rediscovered in the modern era as part of the planetary awakening.
