Bart:
Because there are two paths of evolution; physical and spiritual.
Physical is discontinuous, and spiritual is continuous. Although
everybody has 5th root race bodies, not everybody is using the
yet-not-fully-developed buddhi manas (higher mind), spending most of the
time using the fully developed kama manas (emotion/desire driven mind).

Frank:
Hooray, I fully agree with you now. It is the consciousness which differs
from race to race. HPB's axiom in Isis Unveiled. So HPB when using the word
race points not so much to the physical development, but rather to that of
the inner constitution - buddhi-manas. That is the fifth principle (or
source) in man and is therefore to be devolped by the fifth race, the
Aryans.
The 4th principle in man, kama-manas, was developed by the fourth race, the
Atlanteans.
