RACISM -- our present concepts are usually limited to physical
heredity. What about the
Heredity of the EGO (/soul) ?


Dallas offers:

Refer to SD II 425 at end of page

HPB states: "... reason given for dividing humanity into
superior and inferior races falls to the ground and becomes a
fallacy."

The deathless reincarnating EGO (soul) uses successive bodies
incarnation after incarnation (according to its Karma, which is
harmonized with the Karma of all others concerned) in may races,
and tribes and countries and continents over an immense period of
years.

The physical heredity of any incarnation merely provides the
Karmic environment in which the Ego-Soul receives and generates
the Karma that is its own, as well as that which it shares with
others.

We have to remember that our EGO-SOUL is an immortal and the
succession of lives (reincarnation) is the process of evolution
for it.

IT (the SPIRITUAL-SOUL - Atma-Buddhi-Manas) - DOES NOT DIE when
any one body dies.

But no one has the right to terminate another's life under any
circumstances. If this moral fact were grasped there would be no
more murders or wars. It is ignorance and selfishness that
generates such horrible and terrible conditions.

Read THE KEY TO THEOSOPHY on this subject for detailed
information.

Best wishes,


W. Dallas TenBroeck

Subject: [bn-basic] Re: The Secret Doctrine and Racism

I was reading Nicholas Goodrich Clark's book "Occult Roots of
Nazism" and was
rather surprised by the fact that he called it esoterically
racist. I read
Joscelyn Godwin's book Arktos Polar myth and he felt the same.
Is it fair to
label theosophy and the SD as racist? How would everyone here
refute this
argument?
