Sept 16th 2000

Dear Friend:

As far as my studies in Theosophical texts such as the original
editions of the SECRET DOCTRINE and THE KEY TO THEOSOPHY seem to
teach, the inner EGO (Atma-Buddhi-Manas) of each human being is
of the same identical SPIRITUAL essence with every other such
HIGHER EGO.  This is the "Higher Trinity" that emanates in
millions of "rays" from the ONE MANIFESTING LOGOS -- the Primary
emanation/radiation (a duality in periods of Manvantara)  from
the ever concealed ONENESS.

The "Personality"  (Lower Manas/Kama, Prana, Astral and Physical
bodies) of ach human being is the composite group of Skandhas
(samskaras) which are drawn together to be 'educated,' by the
process of reincarnation under Karma.  Each life a new grouping
of the old skandhas is made by Karma, and, it is this conscious,
thinking entity that "we" are -- awake and sensitive on this
present plane of materiality and in this our present life.

This dual being is a "God" or a "Buddha" (Wise-One) on its own
SPIRITUAL PLANE all the time.

It's resident representative on this material plane at present
(our Personality) may be said to belong to one or another of the
current time-defined races, globes, rounds, etc...

As such the personages mentioned below may be classified by the
ADEPTS themselves, as belonging to one or another level of
perfection.  The Personality which is actively informed by that
great WISDOM-BEING is of the same general nature and material as
all other physical bodies and personalities here and now.

In this way the confusion as to terms and meaning can be
resolved, as I see it.

Theosophy introduced the doctrine of cycles -- which operates in
every
aspect of the seen and unseen world. Civilizations have come and
gone.
Religions have come and gone. So by analogy physical nature of
man also
should be affected by this doctrine.

When I was thinking on some of these issues, certain points that
attracted
my attention.

It is said that every race had its Adepts. Also at every point in
history
there were and are people who are very far advanced compared
those whose
physical structure appeared to be the same. And there are always
exceptions
to the rule.

For example there are statements that Lord Gautham Buddha was a
sixth round
"man" while his progeny would be only a 4th round man. Also there
is the
mention of Anna Kingsford being a 5th rounder.

While the theosophical literature mentions about a few adepts, it
looks
like those mentioned is a small minority of all the adepts in the
world.

For example, while no mention an adept who is incarnated in a
chinese or
afro body, it appears that there should be several who are in
chinese or
afro body. I do not know why there was no mention of this issue
in the
theosophical writings.

Put in a proper perspective, I do not think that it is wrong to
conclude
that any doctrines presented by theosophy is racist.

My .02 on the issue.
