SD II p. 170 (Stanza VII at the end of 24.)

"There were animals in those days of which our modern naturalists have
never dreamed; and the stronger became physical material man, the giants of
those times, the more powerful were his emanations. Once that "androgyne"
humanity separated into sexes, transformed by Nature into child-bearing
engines, it cased to procreate its like through drops of vital energy
oozing out of the body. But while man was still ignorant of his procreative
powers on the human plane (before his Fall...) all this vital energy,
scattered far and wide from him, was used by Nature for the production of
the first mammal-animal forms."

Doesn't this oozing remind you of being a medium like HPB? Who wouldn't
like ascended masters oozing out of us or perhaps more like the terms used
in the modern day I AM Temple, "being surrounded by a luminous presence" of
one of the great adepts?

Here's the MAHATMA LETTERS, No. XV.

"Man comes onn globe "A" after the other kingdoms have gone on." Also,
"When all kingdoms have reached globe Z they will not move forward to
re-enter A..." but operate under a law of retardation operative from earth
to Z." It looks like the other globes are less mayavic, and we may finally
exist in higher spheres with the presence of other lives besides
"ascending" animal lives.

Again, in this same letter: When the minderal kingdom has completed on
globe A, "it projects its essence to globe B- which is already passing
through the preliminary stages of formation and mineral evolution begins on
that globe. At this juncture the evolution of the vegetable kingdom
commences on globe A. When the latterr has made its seventh ring (a
substitute for races) its essence passes on to globe B. At that time the
mineral essence moves to globe C and the germs of the animal kingdom enter
A." etc.

I'm putting this here because I said before I would try to find this idea
and post it.

There's another really good idea that I read, but I've since lost somewhere
in the book concerning androgynous being the true one element and how all
else is maya except it. If anyone finds that, let me know.

It coule be, but I wouldn't think so at this time because it is viewed as
master crowning man with a magic wand.  My view would be the actual
interpenetrating presence of another distinct being. Unfortunately, as it
is taught in I AM, we have to keep calling to them, because they come and
go, kind of floaty-like. It takes continued practice.

I think it would be wonderful if we actually used genetic science in the
2nd race to produce mammals. What geniuses we were back then!
