The Children of the Law of One. The Lost Teachings of Atlantis

Jon Peniel, who has since left this plane, was an Adept monk and the head of the order of the Children of the Law of One. He trained in a monastery in Tibet, and in his order, it was prophesied that a time would come to share their hidden knowledge with the world. That is the premise of this book. The wisdom is eternal, and given with a heavy dose of discipline, as one should expect from a monk whose goal is to lead you out of darkness and into enlightenment. Depending on the path you took to reach this book, some concepts will seem very familiar. For me, this was a book that tied previously disparate learnings together, while also introducing new ones, and adding many calls to action. I had heard for years, YEARS!, to take a cold plunge or a cold shower in the morning. For me, this book illuminated the why, not just the what.

However, to say this book is about cold plunges and meditation is missing the mark. They say, when you climb the mountain to find your teacher, you’ll be asked to wait and prove that you are committed. In short, to do your work first, before you ask a teacher for their effort. This book is showing you a potential path, the work you could do to prepare.

When you read about Atlantis, it’s almost always in the context of Thoth, the great flood, advanced technology, and sometimes aliens. And there’s always so much bullshit. I talk about my current understanding of discernment here. In reading this book, I was relieved to see, in this order, Jesus is at the top. Jesus is at the top of an order that predates his time on Earth, by a lot. I’m learning to sit with these paradoxes. I say relieved because while I’m open to the fact that I at best, only have a glimpse of the spiritual hierarchy, and know almost nothing about the infinite nature of God, denying Jesus, for me, doesn’t pass the discernment test. But that is just my path. To quote a Rabbi whose name eludes me, let us meet where there is good. Indeed. As we walk on our unique paths, let us support each other in turning towards the light.

So, I can’t say if this book is for you. There was a part in “Love Everyone” where Maharaji sent a student away because they already had another teacher. So, this book might send you away. But it may at least be worth peeking in the classroom to see what others are up to.
