Dear Louis:

Here is the reference from SD Vol II pp.444-445:

I would also add that if the introduction of Internet had taken place with
all the fanfare, there would have been insurmountable obstuctionist tactics
by various large corporations in various industries. Since the introduction
took everyone by surprise, there was no time to fight it; they had to get
on the train or left behind.

Since the beginning of the Atlantean Race many million years have passed,
yet we find the last of the
Atlanteans, still mixed up with the Aryan element, 11,000 years ago. This
shows the enormous
overlapping of one race over the race which succeeds it, though in
character and external type the
elder loses its characteristics, and assumes the new features of the
younger race. This is proved in all
the formations of mixed human races. Now, Occult philosophy teaches that
even now, under our very
eyes, the new Race and Races are preparing to be formed, and that it is in
America that the
transformation will take place, and has already silently commenced. 

**************************************
Thus the Americans have become in only three centuries a "primary race,"
pro tem., before becoming
a race apart, and strongly separated from all other now existing races.
They are, in short, the germs of
the Sixth sub-race, and in some few hundred years more, will become most
decidedly the pioneers of that race which must succeed to the present
European or fifth sub-race, in all its new characteristics. After this, in
about 25,000 years, they will launch into preparations for the seventh
sub-race; until, in consequence of cataclysms -- the first series of those
which must one day destroy Europe, and still later the whole Aryan race
(and thus affect both Americas), as also most of the lands directly
connected with the confines of our continent and isles -- the Sixth
Root-Race will have appeared on the stage of our Round. When shall this be?
Who knows save the great Masters of Wisdom, perchance, and they are as
silent upon the subject as the snow-capped peaks that tower above them. All
we know is, that it will silently come into existence; so silently, indeed,
that for long millenniums shall its pioneers -- the peculiar children who
will grow into peculiar men and women -- be regarded as anomalous lusus
naturae, abnormal oddities physically and mentally. Then, as they increase,
and their numbers become with every age greater, one day they will awake to
find themselves in a majority.
