Jason Quitt | The Atlantis Myth, Cosmic Cycles, & Astral Abductions

The Higherside ChatsAug 11, 2026

Author and lifelong entity experiencer Jason Quitt argues that Plato's Atlantis was never meant as a literal sunken continent, but as a celestial allegory for the precession of the equinoxes and the shifting North Star across the roughly 26,000-year Great Year. He ties the story's concentric rings, Atlas as world axis, and the orichalcum pillar to Plato's model of the world soul in the Timaeus and to older Egyptian and Mesopotamian creation myths. He also proposes that most alien abductions are 'astral abductions,' out-of-body experiences that follow nearly the same step-by-step pattern as classic abduction reports.
