Hallo Theo,
In the secret doctrine I have found maybe something interesting for
you:
It is from the fourth race that the early Aryans got their knowledge
of the bundle od wonderful things, The Sabha and the Mayasabha,
mentioned in the Mahabharata, the gift of Mayasura to the Pandavas.
It is from them that they learned aeronautics, Vimana-Vidya( the
knowledge of flying in air vehicles and therefore, their great arts
of meteorography and meteorology.It is from them again that the
Aryans inherited their most valuable sciece of the hidden virtues of
precious and other stones , of chemistry, or rather alchemy, of
mineralogy, geology, physics abd astronomy.
Ashtar(Vidya) Brahmachari Bawa , a Yogi of great renown and holinesss
wrote: Extensive works on Ashtar-Vidya and such other science were at
different times compiled in the language of the times from Sanskrit
orignals.But they , together with the Sanskrit originals, were lost
at the time of the partial deluge of our country.The Theosofist vol 1
june 1880 Some things the Aryan knew.
Another reverence = Wilson's Select Specimens of the theatre of the
Hindus I, p.297 Agnyastra.Also the dream of Ravan 1895,pp120-37.
Secret Doctrine II p 426-8.
Also she gives some reverences too: Exodus XI 1,2 and XIV.
G.J Romanes Physiological Selection. F.R.S.
G.J Romanes, Darwin and after Darwin, chapter iii,p 41.
Vide the first pages of part III Addenda on Science and Secret
Doctrine contrasted.
The lost part is maybe the most interesting thing, but gone by water.
P.S Alan F Alford researches in his book: Gods of the New Millennium
in Dutch; Goden uit de kosmos.ISBN9038906943.
Bye, bye Christina.
