Jeremy,
Right on. I agree. Substance is polarized into the spiritual substance and
the material substance like energy and matter. The black lodge uses the
word race in the material sense. The white lodge uses the word race in the
spiritual sense. The aryan race is developing the mental state of
consciousness like the atlantean developed the emotion; the lemurian
developed the physical and the future sixth race will develop the
buddhic-intuitive state of consciousness. Thinking humanity is the new race
now being developed. All thinkers are together no matter the physical
vehicle, religion, etc.
Gene
