Dear Friends:

On this subject of "Race" I was just reading what H.P.B. had to
say about this in S.D. Vol. II --see pp. 434-5.

Then on pp. S.D. II 443-446 she says a good deal about our
present Race, the Americas and a new sub-race developing on it,
and its relation to the Atlanteans and to the future 6th and 7th
Races to come. It is all worth reading and then thinking about.

Best wishes,

Dal

Not an intrusion at all Jeremy. As a matter of fact you and
Dallas bring up
some good points, on which, I would like to comment.
It doesn't matter what terms we use Jeremy, or how we think about
it. We all
KNOW what we are talking about. The hatred of other human beings
because of
perceptual differences is a universal characteristic of our
humanity in this,
or any other physical 'RACE' incarnation, through which, our
spiritual
identities are expressing themselves. The evidence seems to
indicate that
this quality along with others i.e. greed, envy, dishonesty,
etc., have been
around as long as there has been human races. If indeed,
humankind is
advancing towards a more accurate reflection of its Divine
nature. One whose
consciousness embodies the benevolent actions of a
compassion-actualized
physical species, then it behooves us to take a better look at
where we are
right now and begin to acknowledge the immensity of the task
before us.
Expunging the unwanted qualities mentioned above from the human
heart, which
we all share, is the work of many more lifetime. Judging from the
cyclic rise
and fall of past root races and sub races, along with the sad
showing we have
made in this sub race, it should not come as a surprise to anyone
that we are
still "babes in the woods" when it comes to actualizing ourselves
as an
enlightened species.

It is a cosmic journey that we are on indeed, perhaps just
beginning. There
will be much to see and do along the way, before we take our
place as cosmic
citizens. That said, let us each begin to practice an act of
conscious
evolution by accepting the responsibilities and consequences of
our present
failings and weakness. Let us stop pointing the finger of guilt
hither and
yon and let it begin to turn inward and come to rest where the
cause, in
fact, where all causes, truly originate.
