"The great authors of modern Anthropogenesis such as H.P.B., Rudolf Steiner, Max Heindel and others, committed the very lamentable mistake of supposing that in their epoch they were in the Fifth Aryan Sub-race of the Fifth Aryan Root Race, as if the Latin-American people did not exist, as if the Latin-American were also Anglo-Saxon or Teutonic, or something of the sort."

"Contaminated by centuries of dogmatic superstition, by an ineradicable -- though quite unwarranted -- sense of superiority over those whom the English term so contemptuously "'n-word's", the white European would hardly submit himself to the practical tuition of either Kopt, Brahman, or Lama."
"Among the commandments of Tsong-Kha-pa there is one that enjoins the Rahats (Arhats) to make an attempt to enlighten the world, including the "white barbarians," every century, at a certain specified period of the cycle. Up to the present day none of these attempts has been very successful. Failure has followed failure."
"The Aryan races, for instance, now varying from dark brown, almost black, red-brown-yellow, down to the whitest creamy colour, are yet all of one and the same stock -- the Fifth Root-Race -- and spring from one single progenitor..."

And I heard the voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine."

"Even though it seems incredible, the truth is that the first Root Race that existed in the world was of a very beautiful black color. However, it seems a little difficult for contemporary people to comprehend that in the cheeks of those black people, and in their face in general, in spite of being a race of dark color, there was a certain red coloration similar to shining fire."
"The First Root Race was gigantic and black in color, however it was very civilized."
"The rituals and wisdom of the First Root Race were marvelous. Temples and constructions were portentous. Barbarism did not exist in that epoch. Such a Divine Root Race was devoured by the Tigers of Wisdom. The regent of that Root Race was the Aztec God Tezcatlipoca. Each individual was a true Master of Wisdom."
"The script of the First Root Race was with the Runes. The mallet of Masonry comes from the arrow of the Egyptian God Ra, and this is a Rune. In that epoch, the rituals of the Polar Temple were all Runic. The movements of the officials were runic. This is the Divine Script. Let us remember that the Swastika is a Rune.

"While the Anglo-Saxon race was still wandering, fierce and wild, through uncultivated wastes, living in holes dug out of the sides of hills, and fighting like harry anthropoids for the rotting bones of beasts they had slain, the ancient Indian Empire was sitting in meditation or deep-buried in libraries filled with books bearing upon their hand-illumined pages of wisdom of a hundred generations."
"Thier Emperors, robed in cloth of gold, wielded scepters of jade and amber over teeming millions while the white man was still a wild, uncouth savage, riding shaggy ponies and gnawing at the outskirts of this ancient civilization."
"Where is the respect and veneration that we owe to Egypt, Chaldea, and Phoenicia, cradle of human progress? Has man forgotten the most ancient of all proverbs, "Honor thy father and thy mother?""
"Our race was born somewhere in the heart of India, nourished upon the wisdom of the East, and launched upon its way to carry the standards of human progress through the generations to follow. Can we not realize that we are all one family, and that man's inhumanity to man is the reason why the nations of the past lie hungry and starved while the child to which they gave birth goes heedlessly on its way?"
Max Heindel wrote:
"The religion miscalled Christianity has therefore been the bloodiest religion known, not excepting Mohammedanism, which in this respect is somewhat akin to our malpracticed Christianity. On the battle field and in the Inquisition innumerable and unspeakable atrocities have been committed in the name of the gentle Nazarene. The Sword and the Wine Cup--the perverted Cross and Communion Chalice--have been the means by which the more powerful of the so-called Christian nations gained supremacy over the heathen peoples, and even over other but weaker nations professing the same faith as their conquerors.
"The most cursory reading of the history of the Greco-Latin, Teutonic and Anglo-Saxon Races will corroborate this."
Manly P. Hall 33° wrote:
"The Aryan race (of which both the modern Hindu and the Anglo-Saxon are sub-races) had its beginning somewhere in Central Asia.

Samael Aun Weor wrote:
"Therefore, a basic difference between the Mohammedan priest and the Jewish priest, or between the Pagan priest and the legitimate Christian one, does not exist. Religion is one. Religion is unique and absolutely universal. The ceremonies of the Shinto priest of Japan or of the Mongol Lamas are similar to those ceremonies of the shamans and sorcerers from Africa and Oceania."
Samael Aun Weor wrote:
"This is the Religion of Wisdom of the ancient Sacerdotal Colleges, of the Gymnosophists or solitary JINNS from Central Asia, of the Iohanes, Samoans, Egyptian Ascetics, ancient Pythagoreans, medieval Rosicrucians, Templars, primeval Masons and other more or less known esoteric Brotherhoods, whose list would occupy a dozen of pages."
Samael Aun Weor wrote:
"Objective Reasoning was developed before the Greco-Roman period emerged. The primeval Aryans of the first sub-race of the great Aryan Root Race (which flourished in Central Asia) had developed it. The people of the second sub-race (prior to the period of the solar Rishis) possessed it. The Egyptians of the ancient Dynasties of the Pharaohs, the Babylonians, the sages of Afghanistan, Turkestan and Iraq also used it. This type of reasoning practically ended with Greek reasoning. The Greeks were the ones who began to play with words and ended up establishing the Subjective Reasoning based on external sensory perceptions, thus drowning out the Objective Reasoning, eliminating it from the face of the Earth. Since then, humanity only possesses subjective reasoning, external sensory perceptions, the data provided through the five senses."

The Ring 2: Die Walkure
"In the First Root Race (of this present fourth round), this great Archangel Uriel (who was precisely a child of the Second Round, or the Solar Round, where Jesus was the highest initiate) was also incarnated. The First Root Race - Protoplasmic Race, the Polar Root Race - was located in the Fourth Dimension, in which is now the North Pole. Uriel wrote a book with Runic characters. It was known and studied in the Hyperborean Epoch. So, this Runic alphabet comes from the very beginning of the creation of this world. And from the Runic alphabet derived the Hebrew alphabet and many other alphabets in the world."
"The great sacrifice, the promise to this Aryan race, to this Terrestrial Epoch, was accomplished two thousand years ago. That great Initiate, named Aberamentho, the highest of the Solar Epoch, came to his Hyperboreans, to that blood. It is written, as you remember, that Jesus was the son of an Aryan soldier who impregnated the Jewish Miriam, the mother of Jesus of Nazareth, the mother of his physical body. So, the physical body of Jesus of Nazareth is the outcome of Hyperborean blood and Jewish blood, Hyperborean solar energy and lunar Jewish blood.
"That mixture was the plan in order to help this humanity, which was falling into sin. The great Master Aberamentho, Jesus of Nazareth, made the great sacrifice. That is why many great painters painted him with white skin. Many people do not like that, but the Hyperboreans are the root of the white race. And, of course, all of us are Aryans – this is what we have to understand. This Aryan root race populates the entire Earth. The first root race flourished in Tibet, the second in China and India, the third in Persia, Babylon, Egypt, the fourth among the Greeks and Romans, the fifth among the Germans, English, French, Teutons and Anglo-Saxons, the sixth among the Latin American – the mixture of Europeans with natives of South America, and the seventh sub-race of the Aryan race is being formed here, in the United States and Canada – the mixture of all races. So, the whole planet Earth, the whole Midgard, is inhabited by the Aryan race, which unfortunately is being tricked by the Niebelungen – the black lodge. The black lodge fought against the great Being that came two thousand years ago in order to deliver the solar force – the solar religion that has roots in previous Cosmic Days, solar wisdom related to the development of the Solar Men, but the lunar forces of Fricka are very strong, because this Nature is heavy, charged with a lot of Karma of past cosmic days. And black magicians take advantage of that Karma in order to sink the humanity more into the mud."
Samael Aun Weor wrote:
"Thus, in the manner that this impending doom is progressing, it is reasonable to be familiar with the idea of the revolution of the axes of the earth as an inevitable catastrophe that will convert the poles into the equator and the latter into the poles.
"Where today only enormous icebergs exist, tomorrow enormous and profound equatorial jungles will exist, and vice versa. The present equatorial lands will be the icebergs of the future."
- Excerpted from The Doomed Aryan Race
Samael Aun Weor wrote:"They are the Glacial Men, who, for the good of this poor suffering humanity, still exist."
"The First Root Race was gigantic and black in color...."
"Individuals of such a group which correspond to the first race.... ...have preserved their original purity."
"Presently, the members of such a group, have a beautiful human size and presence similar to our own. They have perfect bodies of flesh and bone, and great wisdom. Indeed, they are the living prototype of what all of the populace of the Earth should be."
"Seventh Subrace: The survivors of the new great cataclysm that soon will destroy this Aryan Root Race will be formed by the survivors of the Seventh Subrace; they still do not exist, but they will.
"So, this Aryan Root Race, instead of evolving, has devolved, and its corruption is now worse than that of the Atlanteans in their epoch. Its wickedness is so great that it has reached unto heaven."

"The wise North-American Qabbalist Manly P. Hall, who was cited by the great Master of the White Lodge, Dr. Francisco A. Propato, said in his book of Occult Anatomy of Man, the following:

According to Blavatsky the sixth subrace of the Aryan root race will begin to evolve in the area of the United States in the early 21st century. This sixth subrace of the Aryan root race will be called the Australo-American subrace and is believed by Theosophists to be now arising from the Teutonic subrace of the Aryan root race in Australia and in the Western United States (Many individuals of the new subrace will be born in California.) and its surrounding nearby areas (i.e., the Australo-American subrace is presently in the process of arising from the Anglo-American, Anglo-Canadian, Anglo-Australian and presumably also the Anglo-New Zealander ethnic groups).[29] The sixth or Australo-American sub-race will "possess certain psychic powers

Question About Zionism

"Set or Sat-an, the god of the Hittites and Hyk-sos...."
"According to Josephus, the Hyk-sos were the ancestors of the Israelites.* This is doubtless substantially true. The Hebrew Scriptures, which tell a somewhat different story, were written at a later period, and underwent several revisions, before they were promulgated with any degree of publicity. Typhon became odious in Egypt, and shepherds "an abomination." "In the course of the twentieth dynasty he was suddenly treated as an evil demon, insomuch that his effigies and name are obliterated on all the monuments and inscriptions that could be reached."** In all ages the gods have been liable to be euhemerized into men. There are tombs of Zeus, Apollo, Hercules, and Bacchus, which are often mentioned to show that originally they were only mortals. Shem, Ham, and Japhet, are traced in the divinities Shamas of Assyria, Kham of Egypt, and Iapetos the Titan.
"Seth was god of the Hyksos..." - H.P. Blavatsky
Max Heindel wrote (with commentary from a Gnostic Instructor):
In the Polar, Hyperborean and Lemurian Epochs the task of leading humanity was a comparatively easy one, for humans were then without (subjective) reasoning, but when that disturbing element came in during the first part of the Atlantean Epoch, they developed Cunning, which is the product of the mind unchecked by the spirit. Cunning acts as an aid to desire, regardless of whether the desire is good or bad, whether it will bring joy or sorrow.
In the middle of the Atlantean Epoch the spirit had drawn completely into its vehicles and commenced to work in the mind to produce Thought and Reason: the ability to trace a given cause to its inevitable effect, and to deduce from a given effect the cause which produced it. The faculty of Reasoning or Logic was to become more fully developed in the Aryan Epoch, and therefore the Original Semites (the fifth sub-race of the Atlantean Epoch sexually mixed with Hyperboreans) were a "chosen people," to bring out that germinal faculty to such a ripeness that it would be impregnated into the very fiber of their descendants, who would thus become the New Race (the Aryan Root Race).
To transmute Cunning into Reason proved no easy task. The earlier changes in human's nature had been easily brought about. Humans could then be led without difficulty because they had no conscious desire, nor reasoning to guide them, but by the time of the Original Semites they had become cunning enough to resent limitations of they liberty and to circumvent repeatedly the measures taken to hold them in line. The task of guiding them was all the more difficult because it was necessary they should have some liberty of choice, that they might in time learn self-government. Therefore a law was enacted which decreed immediate rewards for obedience and instant punishment for disregard of its provisions. Thus was human taught, coaxed and coerced into reasoning in a limited manner that "the way of the transgressor is hard," and that he must "fear God," or the Leader Who guided him.
Out of all who were chosen as "seed" for the new Race, but few remained faithful. Most of them were rebellious and, so far as they were concerned, entirely frustrated the purpose of the Leader by intermarrying with the other Atlantean (sub) Races, thus bringing inferior blood into their descendants.
That is what is meant in the Bible where the fact is recorded that the sons of God married the daughters of men. For that act of disobedience (fornication with the daughters of men) were they abandoned and "lost." Even the faithful died, according to the body, in the Desert of Gobi (the "Wilderness") in Central Asia, the cradle of our present Race. They reincarnated, as their own descendants of course, and thus inherited the "Promised Land," the Earth as it is now. They are the Aryan Races, in whom Reason is being evolved to perfection.
(Better said: They are the Aryan Races, in whom Subjective Reasoning should be developed to perfection into "the Objective Reasoning of the Being").
The rebellious ones who were abandoned are the Jews, of whom the great majority are still governed more by the Atlantean faculty of Cunning than by Reason. In them the race-feeling is so strong that they distinguish only two classes of people: Jews and Gentiles (Aryans). They despise the other (Aryan) nations and are in turn despised by them for their cunning, selfishness and avarice. It is not denied that they give to charity, but it is principally, if not exclusively, among their own people and rarely internationally, as was done in the case of the earthquake disaster in Italy, where barriers of creed, race and nationality were forgotten in the human feeling of sympathy.
In such cases as that and the San Francisco disaster, the inner spiritual nature of man becomes more in evidence than under any other circumstances, and the close observer may then discern the trend of evolution. The fact then becomes manifest that though in the stress of ordinary life our actions may deny it, nevertheless at heart we know and acknowledge the great truth that we are brothers and the hurt of one is really felt by all. Such incidents, therefore, point out the direction of evolution.
The control of man by Reason must be succeeded by that of Love (Intuition), which at present acts independent of and sometimes even contrary to the dictates of Reason. The anomaly arises from the fact that Love, at present, is rarely quite unselfish and our Reason is not always true. In the "New Galilee," the coming Sixth Epoch (Sixth Root Race), Love will become unselfish and Reason will approve its dictates. Universal Brotherhood shall then be fully realized, each working for the good of all, because self-seeking will be a thing of the past.
That this much-to-be-desired end may be attained, it will be necessary to select another "chosen people" from the present stock to serve as a nucleus from which the new Race (Sixth Root Race) shall spring. This choosing is not to be done contrary to the will of the chosen. Each human being must choose for himself; he must willingly enter the ranks.
Races are but an evanescent feature of evolution. Before the end of the Lemurian Epoch there was a "chosen people (Seth-Enos)," different from the ordinary humanity of that time, who became the ancestors of the Atlantean Races. From the fifth race of those another "chosen people" was drawn, from which the Aryan Races descended, of which there have been five and will be two more (Latin American and the mixture of all in North America). Before a new Epoch (Sixth Root Race) is ushered in, however, there must be "a new Heaven and a new earth"; the physical features of the Earth will be changed and its density decreased. There will be one Race at the beginning of the next Epoch, but after that every thought and feeling of Race will disappear. Humanity will again constitute one vast Fellowship, regardless of all distinctions. Races are simply steps in evolution which must be taken, otherwise there will be no progress for the spirits reborn in them. But, though necessary steps, they are also extremely dangerous ones, and are therefore the cause of grave concern to the Leaders of mankind. They call these sixteen Races "the sixteen paths to destruction," because , while in previous Epochs the changes came after such enormous intervals that it was easier to get the majority of the entities in line for promotion, it is different with the Races. They are comparatively evanescent; therefore extra care must be taken that as few of the spirits as possible become enmeshed in the fetters of Race.
This is exactly what happened to the spirits reborn in the Jewish Race-bodies. They attached themselves so firmly to the Race that they are drawn back into it in successive births. "Once a Jew, always a Jew" is their slogan. They have entirely forgotten their spiritual nature and glory in the material fact of being "Abraham's seed." Therefore they are neither "fish nor flesh." They have no part in the advancing Aryan Race and yet they are beyond those remnants of the Lemurian and Atlantean peoples which are still with us. They have become a people without a country, an anomaly among mankind.
Because of their bondage to the Race-idea, their one-time Leader was forced to abandon them, and they became "lost." That they might cease to regard themselves as separate from other peoples, other nations were stirred up against them at various times by the Leaders of humanity and they were led captive from the country where they had settled, but in vain.
They stubbornly refused to amalgamate with others. Again and again they returned in a body to their arid land. Prophets of their own Race were raised up who mercilessly rebuked them and predicted dire disaster, but without avail.
As a final effort to persuade them to cast off the fetters of Race, we have the seeming anomaly that the Leader of the coming Race, the Great Teacher Christ, appeared among the Jews. This still further shows the compassion and Wisdom of the great Beings Who guide evolution. Among all the Races of the Earth, none other was "lost" in the same sense as the Jews; none other so sorely needed help. To send them a stranger, not one of their own Race, would have been manifestly useless. It was a foregone conclusion that they would have rejected him. As the great spirit known as Booker T. Washington incarnated among the Negroes, to be received by them as one of themselves, and thus enabled to enlighten them as no white man could, so the great Leaders hoped that the appearance of Christ among the Jews as one of their own might bring them to accept Him and His teachings and thus draw them out of the meshes of the Race-bodies. But sad it is to see how human prejudice can prevail. "He came unto His own and" they chose Barabbas. He did not glory in Abraham, nor any other of their ancient traditions. He spoke of "another world," of a new earth, of Love and Forgiveness, and repudiated the doctrine of "an eye for an eye." He did not call them to arms against Caesar; had He done so, they would have hailed Him as a deliverer. In that respect He was misunderstood even by His disciples, who mourned as greatly over their vanished hope of an earthly kingdom as over the Friend slain by Roman hands.
The rejection of Christ by the Jews was the supreme proof of their thralldom to Race. Thenceforth all efforts to save them as a whole by giving them special prophets and teachers, were abandoned and, as the futility of exiling them in a body had been proven, they were, as a last expedient, scattered among all the nations of the earth. Despite all, however, the extreme tenacity of this people has prevailed even to the present day, the majority being yet orthodox.
In America, however, there is now a slight falling away. The younger generation is commencing to marry outside the Race. In time, an increasing number of bodies, with fewer and fewer of the Race characteristics, will thus be provided for the incarnating spirits of the Jews of the past. In this manner will they be saved in spite of themselves. They become "lost" by marrying into inferior Races; they will be saved by amalgamating with those more advanced.
As the present Aryan Races are reasoning human beings, capable of profiting by past experience, the logical means of helping them is by telling them of past stages of growth and the fate that overtook the disobedient Jews. Those rebels had a written record of how their Leaders had dealt with them. It set forth how they had been chosen and rebelled; were punished; but were yet hopeful of ultimate redemption. That record may be profitably used by us, that we may learn how not to act. It is immaterial that, in the course of ages, it has become mutilated, and that the Jews of today are still under the delusion of being a "chosen people"; the lesson that may be drawn from their experience is none the less valid. We may learn how a "chosen people" may harass their Leader, frustrate His plans, and become bound to a Race for ages.
Their experience should be a warning to any future "chosen people". This Paul points out in unmistakable terms (Heb. ii. 3-4); "For if the word spoken by angels was steadfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward, How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?" and Paul was speaking to Christians, for the Hebrews to whom he wrote this were converted, had accepted Christ and were people whom he expected would, in some future life, be among the new "chosen people", who would willingly follow a Leader and evolve the faculty of Love and spiritual perception, the intuition which shall succeed self-seeking and Reason.
The Christian teaching of the New Testament belongs particularly to the pioneer Races of the Western World. It is being specially implanted among the people of the United States, for as the object of the new Race of the Sixth Epoch (Sixth Root Race) will be the unification of all the Races, the United States is becoming the "melting pot" where all the nations of the earth are being amalgamated and from this amalgamation will the next "chosen people," the nucleus, be chiefly derived.
Those spirits, from all countries of the earth, who have striven to follow the teachings of the Christ, consciously or otherwise, will be reborn here, for the purpose of giving them conditions suitable for that development.
Hence the American-born Jew is different from the Jew of other countries. The very fact that he has been reborn in the Western World shows that he is becoming emancipated from the Race spirit, and is consequently in advance of the crystallized Old World orthodox Jew, as were his parents, or they would not have conceived the idea of severing the old ties and moving to America. Therefore the American-born Jew is the pioneer who will prepare the path which his compatriots will follow later.
Thus we can see that the Bible contains the teaching peculiarly needed by the Western peoples, that they may be taught a lesson by the awful example of the Jewish Race as recorded in the Old Testament, and learn to live by the teachings of the Christ in the New, willingly offering up their bodies as a living sacrifice upon the altar of Fellowship and Love.

As far as I'm aware, the most wise authors from the Western world on the Root Races and Sub-Races, are H.P. Blavatsky, Samael Aun Weor, Manly P. Hall 33°, Rudolf Steiner, Max Heindel, C.W. Leadbeater, and Dion Fortune.
Root Races, Epochs and sub-racesAccording to Blavatsky's writings, there will be seven root races assembled for our Earth; each root race is divided into seven subraces. Only five root races have appeared so far; the sixth is expected to emerge in the 28th century.
The first root raceThe first root race was "ethereal", i.e. they were composed of etheric matter. They reproduced by dividing like an amoeba. Earth was still cooling at that time. The first mountain to arise out of the stormy primeval ocean was Mount Meru.
The second root race (Hyperborean)The second root race lived in Hyperborea. The second root race was colored golden yellow. Hyperborea included what is now Northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia, Northern Asia, and Kamchatka. The climate was tropical because Earth had not yet developed an axial tilt. The esoteric name of their continent is Plaksha; they called themselves the Kimpurshas. They reproduced by budding.[8] The second root race has no present-day descendents.
The third root race (Lemurian)
Map of Lemuria superimposed over the modern continents from William Scott-Elliot, The Story of Atlantis and Lost Lemuria.The third root race, the Lemurian, was black and lived in Lemuria. The esoteric name of Lemuria is Shalmali. Lemuria, according to Theosophists, existed in a large part of what is now the Indian Ocean and included also Australia and in addition extended into the South Pacific Ocean; its last remnants are the Australian continent, the island of New Guinea, and the island of Madagascar. Lemuria sank gradually and was eventually destroyed by incessantly erupting volcanoes. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was thought by geologists that the age of the earth was only about 200 million years (because radioactive dating had not yet come into use), so the geological epochs were believed to have occurred at a much later time than is thought to be the case today.
According to traditional Theosophy, the Lemurian root race began 34½ million years ago, in the middle of what was then believed to be the Jurassic; thus, the people of Lemuria coexisted with the dinosaurs. The first three subraces of the Lemurians reproduced by laying eggs, but the fourth subrace, beginning 16½ million years ago, began to reproduce like modern humans. As Lemuria was slowly submerged due to volcanic eruptions, the Lemurians colonized the areas surrounding Lemuria, i.e. Africa, Southern India, and the East Indies. The descendants of the Lemurian root race according to traditional Theosophy include the Capoid race, the Congoid race, the Dravidians, and the Australoid race.
The fourth root race (Atlantean)[edit] Subraces of the Atlantean root raceThe fourth root race, the Atlantean, according to Theosophy arose approximately 4,500,000 years ago in Africa from the fourth subrace of the Lemurians in a part of Africa that had been colonized by that subrace in the area now inhabited by the Ashanti. Theosophists believe the Atlantean root race was physically progenerated by the Chankshusha Manu.

A Third Of Texans Say Dinosaurs And Humans Coexisted
www.disinfo.com...
Does a third of the population believe that “The Flinstones was a documentary”? In a poll, one out of three Texans say that humans and dinosaurs lived together at one point. Oh, and, the majority say that humanity did not develop from an earlier species. The Texas Tribune reports:
Nearly a third of Texans believe humans and dinosaurs roamed the earth at the same time, and more than half disagree with the theory that humans developed from earlier species of animals, according to the University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll.
[Professor David] Prindle recall[s] a line from comedian Lewis Black. “He did a routine a few years back in which he said that a significant proportion of the American people think that the ‘The Flintstones’ is a documentary,” Prindle says. “Turns out he was right.”
The Secret Doctrine: Anthropogenesis
"The yellow-faced giants of the post-Atlantean day, had ample time, throughout this forced confinement to one part of the world, and with the same racial blood and without any fresh infusion or admixture in it, to branch off during a period of nearly 700,000 years into the most heterogeneous and diversified types.
"The same is shown in Africa; nowhere does a more extraordinary variability of types exist, from black to almost white, from gigantic men to dwarfish races; and this only because of their forced isolation. The Africans have never left their continent for several hundred thousands of years.
"If to-morrow the continent of Europe were to disappear and other lands to re-emerge instead; and if the African tribes were to separate and scatter on the face of the earth, it is they who, in about a hundred thousand years hence, would form the bulk of the civilized nations.
"And it is the descendants of those of our highly cultured nations, who might have survived on some one island, without any means of crossing the new seas, that would fall back into a state of relative savagery.
"Thus the reason given for dividing humanity into superior and inferior races falls to the ground and becomes a fallacy."

Re: Interesting Find: Black Gnostics of Ethiopia
Are you stating that the Solar System does not move?
The spiral and cyclic nature of galaxies, solar systems, planets (and all sentient beings therein) suggest that all bodies are in perpetual movement.
This movement is cyclic and spiral.
Solar systems and their planets pulsate and interrelate with each other, taking in "foreign" vibrations and emitting vibrations.
This scientific and spiritual law is related to truth of interdependent origination.
Just like an old acquaintance you knew in grade school, planets and stars pull close to each other at certain arcs in the spiral and push away from each other at certain cycles.
When this takes place in the solar system, we call it days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, millennium, etc. Time is only a measurement that the intellect makes on cosmic MOVEMENT. The intellect is very small. The movement is infinitely large. Science is very intellectually limited.
Understanding this, is it only because material science hasn't yet recognized the Hercolobus factor that causes you to doubt?
Remember that in this age, spiritual science discovered the atom and its parts 2500 years before material science (Buddha Sakyamuni lived 2500 years ago and gave teachings on the nature of atomic particles). Is this surprising?
We have comets and asteroids come close to the earth all the time. In the past, some have struck the earth.
Why shouldn't planets and solar systems cyclically move closer to each other at certain "times"?
These movements have their cause in the forces of the Holy Spirit within the infinite. The Holy Spirit respirates within each star and each planet. Its pulsing and 'becoming' reconciles all things, from the infinitely large to the infinitely small. It is the web that interrelates all phenomena.
Time is a measurement of movement, it is the hyper-solid.
Each planet and each solar system abides by this law. They are all tetradimensional, edenic, manifestations of the Third Logos.
This movement that is related to the Jinn Sciences of the 4th dimension is what material scientists try to rationalize and understand without EVER WONDERING ABOUT THE CAUSE OF THIS MOVEMENT. Jinn Science (which is the root of ASTRONOMY AND ASTROLOGY because the key of life for planets and stars is movement) is the science of the Holy Spirit (reconciling force) manifested within Yesod (4th dimension).
With such a limited rational scope material scientists are not able to stuff the infinite movement of planets within a brain that is losing brain cells due to materialistic abuse of the mind.
The current limits of dogmatic material sciences is the perfect inverse opposite of the infinitely expanding knowledge of self.
Every great teaching has meaning upon seven levels. Every star and planet is both a 'literal' planet (which science has no understanding of even in the material/literal sense) and a manifestation of a cosmic truth.
For me, on a base level, the message of Hercolubus, Alcyone's rings, the axis of earth shifting, the end of our race, is only inspiration for a soul to develop the inner urgency that it needs because there is little time (freedom of movement- see my last post) left. The truth is that we are all going to die, whether from a natural disaster, nuclear war, famine, accident etc. If we die together in the Apocalypse or peacefully in our beds, there isn't much difference regarding the nature of death. The fact of Hercolubus and the other natural disasters that are approaching reinforce the truth that the Kali Yuga is ending and this humanity is doomed. For the initiate, this is a blessing. For the evil doer, this is doomsday. I find that this particular teaching inspires and encourages me to work, work, work. Our work is everything, our doomed personalities are of no value.
Time is subjective. Therefore it is subject to change depending upon who is perceiving cyclic movements of 'time'.
That which we call 'time' (described in my earlier post) shortens and lengthens depending upon the cycle and the perceiver.
Time has become considerably shorter and shorter since ancient times.
This is due to the involution of spiritual forces into denser realms in consecutive cycles of development on planet earth.
Time is slower and 'takes longer' in hell and therefore expresses in shorter cycles on earth.
Between every MANVANTARA is a PRALAYA.
A Pralaya is a period of repose.
Repose has no measurement because repose has no movement.
