Bee:

Yes, until the third Root Race mind had not been awakened in
humanity.  I'd say that there was mind and though before then,
but at that point it becamed "inflamed", made self-conscious, and
took on more of an individual nature.  Until then, it may have
behaved instictually, like mind works in the animal kingdom.

We are the humans being build up from various sources.
Everything until then had been given to us, and we only needed
the gift of mind from the Manasaputras.  Our bodies were provided
us by the Lunar Pitris, and the minds awakened by the Solar
Pitris.

When you mention that "Globe D is not meant for astral living",
that would be true at present, since our bodies are physical.
But if they were astral in the first two Root Races, then there
would have been a time when it was meant for astral life.

This is using "astral" in the sense of everything that exists
being an image in the astral light, with physical objects being
concreted astral.  I see our Globe D earth as the physical
sphere, the surrounding astral light, and various associated
spheres of effects, wherein we might experience kamaloka,
devachan, etc.  And each Globe, on a different plane, has the
same aspects to it.

Another thought concerning the early races, which were asexual,
then bisexual, reproducing various ways, including by budding ...

If we look at flowers, which are bisexual, having both types of
sex organs, they still reproduce using pollen from other flowers,
e.g.  there still is cross-fertilization or "partners".

I wonder if the same holds true with asexual reproduction, like
via kriyashakti? Could physical forms, of a particual race,
require an exchange of "genetic materials" for creating a new
body, even when people are not polarized into male or female, or
polarized with male/female organs?

Is it ever possible to create a body, born into a particular
race, solely from a single parent, without any exchange with
others acting as co-parent?

And is it possible to create a body, born into a particular race,
without any parent at all, with no protoplasm or life materials from
a living member of that race? (I'm not talking about
"temporary" bodies like the mayavi-rupa, but regular forms,
participating in the normal evolution and experiences of the
human lifewave.)
