Yep, the original material is definitely from Edgar Cayce and his descriptions of the use of the "Temple of Sacrifice" and "Temple of Beauty":
...
Edgar Evans Cayce explains [Edgar Cayce's son]: Evidently, besides low mental development and/or lack of moral judgment and selfcontrol, some people classed as servants or "things" or "automatons" had physical deformities linking them to the animal world. They may have had tails, feathers, or scales. This was a holdover from the early projection of souls into materiality for selfish purposes at which time monstrosities as well as creatures of beauty were created."
The above from here: http://www.thesonsofthelawofone.com/atlanteansons.html
IIRC my own ancient reading of some of Cayce's books, those "things" were used for the "pleasure" of the ruling class... ultimate slaves and considered soulless... the usual excuse for all war atrocities, henceforth...
Any resemblance to current events is, of course purely coincidental, etc... makes one wonder if, truly, Atlantis has not actually arisen out of its watery grave and re-incarnated into this current "civilization"...
