Dear Friends:

Re: CREATORS CREATION

D - A VIEW


===================================================

A Glance at the Three First Races of Mankind
	


	
Here are some notes on the cycles of evolution that involve each Monad in
its innumerable incarnations, called in the SECRET DOCTRINE the ROUNDS (each
such "Round" being a circling through the 7 GLOBES) -- see Diagram on
SECRET DOCTRINE , I, p. 200.

In each Round a particular faculty is perfected analogous to the sequence
of the PARAMITAS given in The VOICE OF THE SILENCE {Fragment III, p. 52-3)
There is also a correspondence to the 7 PRINCIPLES of Man on which wee have
already sent a posting. A "Round" consists of 7 "Globes" and again in each
of these the sub-faculty relating to the "Round" is brought to perfection.

Each of these Paramitas (virtues)are said to correspond to the 7 "Globes"
pictured in that Diagram of the S D.

---------------------

FIRST 3 RACES OF MANKIND - AN OVER-VIEW

=========================================

There is probably no part of the Secret Doctrine which offers a more
startling contrast to the opinions of ordinary men, than the information
laid before us in reference to the origin of mankind on earth.  

It considers a three-fold process: 1) Spiritual, (considered as
ATMA-BUDDHI as conjoined eternal "PRINCIPLES," and forming the stable,
eternal, base of Ideals -- of universality, impersonality, universal LAW,
and undeviating moral rectitude); 2) of the Psychical (considered as the
duality of Buddhi-Manas and Kama-Manas, a condition wherein there is the
progressive development of moral responsibility by the Monad considered as a
psycho-mental entity -- where virtue is perceived and invariably acted; and
3) of a 'form' which is permanent, stable, and responsive to every need of
the fully conscious, living, spiritual and purified psycho-mental Man. --
this may be called the "permanent astral, or "causal body." [S D I 181-2]

Neither common knowledge nor science furnishes us with particulars of
primeval man that may be at all comparable with the scheme of development
exposed in the SECRET DOCTRINE, of mankind in this, the" Fourth Round."

In the SECRET DOCTRINE, we are provided with a survey of the steps of the
process of an intermeshed three-fold human development, but anterior to the
Fourth Round H.P.B. only offers some glimpses. There, the history of the
world in the first Three "Rounds," and the pre-human forms and existences
associated therewith are treated. 

In this short survey, the progress of the Monad that has now entered the
"human stage" (you, I, and all of us) through these early stages, is now
surveyed in its "Fourth Round," and we note that H.P.B. states that we are
all the same Egos who went by the process of reincarnation through the
periods of experience called the first three Races - those preceding the
Atlanteans, and our Fifth "Race" [named the "Aryan" or 'noble'] humanity.

Among all those who read this it is taken for granted that the Three
Fundamentals of the SECRET DOCTRINE 

[ 1. UNIVERSAL SPIRIT or DEITY, 2. UNIVERSAL and JUST LAW, and 3.
UNIVERSAL EVOLUTION by all the "hosts" of immortal MONADS] have been
studied, understood, (S D I pp. 13-20] and will be remembered at every
stage, The following, is applicable to the intelligent consciousness
[ATMA-BUDDHI-MANAS] residing in the physico-astral form of every man and
woman on our earth.  

This survey begins in the dawn of time represented by the opening of the
present Manvantara. It is a reincarnation of along succession of earlier
ones. We see that the SECRET DOCTRINE traces anthropogenesis down to a
period, which, to a student of Theosophy is almost a recent one, the
establishment of Man as a being exhibiting the existence of cooperative yet,
in many ways, the contrasts that male and female sexes provide.  

The chief difficulty is considering the history of the human race at a point
where the present world of 'western' science and history is ignorant.
Because of this, and because of inaccurate speculations based on a selected
few physical relics and fossils being used as an index for the presumed
intelligence in the past, there is difficulty in giving any intelligible
description of the appearance of the earliest beings from whom our present
physical mankind has, during the lapse of untold ages, gradually been
developed. 

Occultism states that in this Round mankind as a "form" first appeared; and
all forms were subsequently derived from this primitive model. One of the
statements is that the ape-form was derived as a specialization of the
primitive human form. [The science of evolution declares as a law that a
"specialized" form (such as that of an ape) can not generate one more
primitive (such as a human). It can only descend from such a form.]

For those commencing the study of Theosophy, the subject might have been
made easier to illustrate, if the origin of Man had been started at this,
our own time, and retrogressed from there. We are in the Fifth "Race" of the
Fourth "Round." Apart from the SECRET DOCTRINE and a few hints of myth, lore
and tradition, no trace of a connected history of the originating of a
"Fifth Race" exists.  

Modern (western) civilization has no coherent historical narrative extending
back over 6,000 years; while the Fifth Race alone has had (teaches the
SECRET DOCTRINE) an independent existence for more than a million years; [S
D II p. 10; M L 150] and modern science, in its latest speculations
postulates the antiquity of mankind as a physical form being at most a
couple of million of years. [Leaky - Olduvai]

Nor can any history previous to 6,000 years be recognized as, for instance,
in the scanty reference to Atlantis (mentioned by Plato, who died 347 B.C.).
And even he gives no date of its disappearance. In the SECRET DOCTRINE and
the MAHATMA LETTERS [pp. 151, 155] this was fixed at 9,564 B. C. (in
1882). Every reference to Atlantis has for centuries been derided, but only
recently a few authorities have considered the possibility of the event of
the submergence of the home of a past nation beneath the Atlantic ocean.
[see Submerged extensive ruins in the Caribbean Sea.] 

To make this subject of the early "races" of our humanity easier to
understand, we ought to study the diagram offered in the SECRET DOCTRINE,
Vol. 1, p. 200.

WE have to understand that in this the Fourth Round, and particularly on
Globe [D] there is a recapitulation of the evolutionary stages already
passed through in the three earlier ROUNDS. Our present is GLOBE D, Fourth
Round. It stands alone and is a balance position., It corresponds to
Paramita VIRAGA: and is three-fold:

1	indifference to pleasure as to pain,

2	illusion conquered,

3	truth alone perceived.
[The VOICE OF THE SILENCE, p. 52 3rd Fragment]
 
We are told that in the fourth Round there is for the first three "Races" a
recapitulation of the evolutionary stages of the first three "Rounds." [S D
II pp. 2-12]. The 4th Globe is the one which for the "Moment of Decision."
The two Paths open: that of the brotherhood of spiritual perfection, and
that of a return to the chaos and uncertainties of isolation and
selfishness. 

The three earliest "Root Races" of this the "Fourth Round" on the Fourth
"Globe" are each associated with a "home" of its own; and so, too, are the
later Races. These lands were given names for easier reference. [S D II
pp. 2 - 12] One of the titles accorded to the "First Race" of "Spiritual
Entities" was: "the Sons of Will and Yoga," Their home is the
"Imperishable Sacred Land." 

The Second Race, the "Sweat Born," dwelt on the "Great Hyperborean Land."
The Third Race, the "Egg Born," in its early days, and which developing
later on into beings with sex, developed on the vast crescent shaped
continent of "Lemuria." 

The Fourth Race dwelt primarily on a mid-Atlantic continent; the Fifth Race,
[Aryan] developed on the continents that have toady, an appearance
resembling the geography of the earth as we now know it. It is said that
tremendous changes of levels, of hills and valleys, of the seas and rivers,
have taken place even in its short geologic course of existence.

The "Imperishable Sacred Land," the continent of the First Race is said to
be the only portion of the earth's surface continuing permanently through
millions of years of subsequent development, and it will remain so until the
end of the Manvantara -- through each Round -- until it bears the final
spiritualized form of the divine men. It is said that: "from the dawn to
the close of twilight of a day of Brahma, the Pole Star has its watchful eye
upon it."

The continent used by the Second Race, known as the Hyperborean, that is,
beyond the Northern, or Polar region, comprised what we know now as Northern
Asia, it stretched southward from the Northern Polar district in undefined
promontories. In those distant times it knew no winter and was an abode of
ethereal mildness, fabled by the Greeks to be the dwelling-place of Apollo -
a glyph of the life-giving sun.

The Third Race, marked by entire changes of substance, structure and being,
grew on Lemuria (a name adopted from P. L. Sclater (1860), but not the real
name). The Pacific ocean now covers much of this continent, whose dry
land, including part of modern Africa, extended in a great crescent shape
from Spitzbergen in the Arctic to Australia and New Zealand in the south. In
the language of modern geology it was named a "pre-tertiary formation."  

Atlantis, (used by the "Fourth Race") followed, developed and disappeared as
a unit before the end of the Miocene period. The Fourth Race Atlanteans,
and the rise and progress of the seven branches of the Fifth (our) Race
during the more recent thousands of years is yet to be described.

We can see in the SECRET DOCTRINE that important assistance is rendered by
the Occultist to science, by an ordered use of reasoned analogy. And, the
origin of spiritual, psychical and physiological mankind is a subject on
which the clearest light is shed in the second volume of the SECRET
DOCTRINE. If we study the physical life history of modern man from ovum to
maturity we may note most of the stages through which the physical
development of the human race has passed. 

It shows how a simple living being can grow and multiply by division. Our
microscopes show us this. The child becomes physically, equal to the parents
and the parents do not die. From this most simple type of reproduction,
nature still produces every form of differentiation, in a process well
regulated by evident internal Law, called budding.

The mass of new cells become a layer, the layer divides into three. In them
is laid the backbone and the centers of life energy for the future being;
blood vessels, nerves and all the specialized organs becoming when finally
organized, the perfect man of matter, inspired by its model: the astral form
(which always acts from within as the personal mold of the human being in
formation), and this, in turn, is vivified by the individual life essence,
Prana guided by the all powerful hand of individual and personal Karma. In
this way the SECRET DOCTRINE shows how the human race in this, the fourth
Round, originates (and continues to originate, materially) from the magnetic
and karmic power of its former Chhayas (shadows).

Humanity, arising in the First Race of the fourth Globe of this, the Fourth
Round, some three hundred million years ago, according to the SECRET
DOCTRINE, constituted the "Race" named the "Sons of Will and Yoga." This is
group also known of as the Agnishwatta Pitris -- divine, spiritual beings --
the "Fathers" and the "Instructors" of primordial mankind. [S D II 167]

Physically, men of the First Race were the shadows of Shadows; they were
shadows of the astral bodies of the Lunar Pitris, that is, those Monads who
were, as a host, considered to be our "ancestors," and representing the
perfection of Lunar development.  


The Moon-Chain of Globes furnished the earth (its 'child') with its first
human envelopes - formless shadows -- derived from the astral forms of the
most advanced Monads from that preceding sphere (whose dead shell is now
recognized as the Moon). The primeval form of man was a "Linga Sharira" (an
astral form), warmed into life by Prana, the life essence from the interior
Spiritual Sun of each "Man."  

It took three and a half "Races" [in time on this the Fourth Globe] to
perfect the "descent into matter" to its present, grossest point. Mindless,
speechless, bodiless, these senseless bhutas (phantoms), were too ethereal
to be percipient of, or affected by any convulsions of Nature. Ages passed,
and the material body grew denser as the astral consolidated, and so, today,
the material body is consolidated out of its astral model. It is taught at
that time they were still spiritually fireless, practically deathless, were
luminous - incorporeal - aeriform - mindless shadows, which the Lunar Pitris
had breathed out.

These Lunar Pitris [fathers], divine in their spiritual nature, were able to
oversee, without interference, the natural development of forms to the end
of the Third Round. But the essential link in every Monad between Spirit and
Matter remained to be forged. Manas (personal mind) and Kama (desire and
passion) had to be given time to assimilate one another, and to make
conjoined progress. The Man-Monad of Mind, self-controlled, and controlling
the forces of Kama, needed to be evolved. This is our present stage. [S D
II pp. 79-81, 93-96, 109-110]

The Monad, ATMA-BUDDHI, the Higher Man, is said to be a Ray of the Universal
Monad, born of Mahat [Universal Mind Essence]. It brooded over this spectral
form, which, because of the absence of Manas was unconscious on our plane,
was only a senseless shell; a-manasa. The Higher Man (Buddhi-Manas), we now
recognize, was "afar off." The Mind, Manas, the Human Soul (Kama-Manas),
was still absent. The Kama -- passions -- were still at rest.

This almost inconceivable First Race passed on into the Second without
either begetting it, or procreating it, and without what we call death. A
thorough transformation occurred; as the ancient records say, "they passed
by together, they ceased and others took their places."  

Occultism mentions twelve classes of creative powers, of which four reached
"perfection" by the end of the Manvantara, the "Great Age;" a fifth is ready
to reach it; and seven others always acting under the Law of Karma, act on
the globes of our planetary chain.  

Old Hindu books mention Seven Groups of Pitris, or "Ancestors;" and two
distinct classes - those who possess the "Sacred Fire" and those without it.
The higher class are called the Agnishwatta Pitris, they were devoid of
creative energy, because too pure and divine.  

A lower class called the Barhishad Pitris, were possessed of creative
energy, these are Lunar spirits, who were devoid of the higher Mahat-mic
element and could not form a conscious divine man-god on earth. This
faculty, conscious divinity, the higher group, the Agnishwatta Pitris could
give. In the meantime, acting under Karma, the Barhishad Pitris, did provide
an astral form from which a human body could be consolidated later on. 

The Agnishwatta Pitris, or Fire Dhyanis (The WISE), are the heart of the
Dhyan Chohanic Lodge, and it is they who, later on, incarnate in the Third
Race, bringing to them Manas, and by this link between the higher and the
lower principles, render Man a perfect septenary, as we now know him. [S D
II 167]

Regarding the "Second Race," whose denser forms gradually replaced the
shadowy forms used by the First Race, we should recall we are viewing a
period of the descent of the human "spiritual Principles" into matter. It
is taught: the First Men were spiritual within and ethereal without; while
the Second Race was Psycho-spiritual within, and Ethero-physical without.

Many shapes were used and their forms were gigantic. These semi-human
monsters reproduced themselves by budding, gemmation, and by expansion and
the separation of their own material, and, they were named the: "sweat
born." Still, we are told there was no "death," only transformation, the
older being giving up its body to form newer beings, and it continued to
exist with them. This form of reproduction was asexual: still, at that
time, there was no principle of Kama, no will, nor "body of desire." These
forms were produced without thought or desire, unconsciously under Karmic
Law, even as some lowest forms of animal life are today.

In the very latest stages of the of the Second Race. We are told there
dawned the primitive, weak spark of understanding, and also sounds began to
be heard, sounds of a developing language were heard in tones like the
vowels, soft and fluent.

Passing from these glimpses of the first two races, we reach in the Third a
more concrete stage we passed through in the "form" of humanity, and we
obtain a deeper insight into the modes and progress of physical and
psycho-mental evolution.

The ages progressed, and we, who were then in the Third Race, whose domain
was Lemuria, and whose presiding powers were associated with Lohitanga and
Sukra - Mars and Venus. Lemuria, we are told, was destroyed at last by
fire, subterranean convulsions broke up the ocean floors, giving vent to the
concealed fires of the earth's interior; while its successor, Atlantis, was
overwhelmed by water, water floods produced by successive disturbances of
the axial rotation. We have still, it is asserted, one link remaining with
the ancient domain of Lemuria, the islands of New Zealand and parts of
southern California. ...
  
In associating Lemuria with the dictates of the science of geology the
SECRET DOCTRINE teaches that it was in the main destroyed 700,000 years
before the Tertiary Period had begun.

The Third Race [in time] is the most notable because its median period
produced the more perfect physical man, to whom was granted Manas, Mind,
Consciousness; for the Lower Quaternary, as now we know it in the human
being, was linked with the Supernal Triad of Atma, Buddhi and the Higher
Manas. 

The Monad, instead of merely brooding over the lower man, exhibited a more
intimate connection with the earthly shell, and inspired it (with Kamic
elements) to a state of consciousness of its own nature and powers, and
rendered possible the spiritual aspirations of the personal life. Until
then there was no real death, until man possessed Kama, the source of
desire; and until Manas was seated in the Septenary, the full effect of
Karma could not appear, for moral responsibility did not exist. Karmaless
there was no Nirvana to attain, no Kama Loka for the shell after death, no
Devachanic interlude of peaceful rest.

But with Kama [instinct, passion, emotion, desire] and its tendencies to be
controlled, and Manas evolving full consciousness on the plane of physical
life, morality and the higher aspirations became apparent, while as a
contrast selfishness, the desire to have and to hold, made for the emergence
of vice, sinfulness and shame. These disharmonies began to attract and then
meet with Karmic adjustment and punishment.  

By this impulse, nations drifted deeper into the illusions and limitations
of matter, and heavier became the faults of those who chose the descending
arc, and began to use degenerative moral processes. These we are told,
continued through the Fourth Race when the most evil Karma was generated. 

Physically, we are taught, the Third Race exhibited a gradual change of
reproduction, passing from the Sweat Born to Ovulation. Then, from a
condition of androgyne being, development at last formed mankind into
entities with reproductive contrast. Human male and female became distinct
beings, and modern mankind arose and has so continued through millions of
years. Coincident with these changes, the body hardened, and all the
internal organs became more perfect. The forms were still massive, gigantic,
and the Secret Doctrine suggests somewhat ape-like. [S D I 187-9; ii 185,
261-2]. Some of these changes are to be seen recapitulated foetal life. 

Coincident with sex development, the Kamic principle became dominant, for
when the reproduction had been by gemmation, budding, or oviparous, it had
been unconscious and the process of natural law; and not the conscious
promptings of the animal passions which now were felt.

The fully-developed Third Race man was of yellow complexion, a golden tint
marked the nations; some scattered tribes of almost direct descent from them
[that] still remain in interior China.  

At the close of the Third Race we may perceive a vast change in the
constitution of man, in regard to his pristine state at the opening of the
Fourth Round. To an astral form, alone in the earliest first race, the
material body been condensed. Life energy [Prana] supported and vivified by
the addition of Kama, the principle of desire, love and all the passions,
made the perishable "Lower Quaternary" complete:. The eternal pilgrim of the
Upper Triad broods yet over it [from within its 'prison'], but without
union. [S D II 103, 243, 246-48, 585,]

The SECRET DOCTRINE shows how this Divine Triad [ATMA-BUDDHI-MANAS] became,
by the descent of Manas into the perfected animal man-form, to occupy a
closer connection with men of the Third Race [S D I 244-5; II 79, 176]. The
Eternal Pilgrims, the Monads are these Manas-putras -- "sons of mind." 

In evolution, under Karmic law they have to pass through all experiences to
attain by self-induced choice to wisdom [S D I 534; II 113, 134fn,
275fn]; and, thus, to pass up the steep path of the spiritual cycle. These
incarnate in the latter part of the Third Race, and transformed the mindless
into beings with minds and "consciousness." With this advent the sure
knowledge of good and evil was instilled. Legend and myth tell us that some
of the fully developed latest Third Race men were towering giants of
godlike. strength and beauty. They became the first Divine Instructors of
Mankind [S D I 272-3], and the nations of the still later races looked
back on these superior beings as the demigods, the hero deities of a past
golden age.

Towards the end of this Third Race material progress grew. It was ruled and
taught by these divine beings. Civilizations originated, cities and temples
were founded; arts and sciences were cultivated. The simple vowel sounds
used by the last Second Race men developed, and, in the Third Race,
articulate speech began with mono-syllabic utterances. [S D II 198-200]

Manas (the capacity to reason, think, proceed logically) is link between the
Quaternary of lower principles and the divine Triad. It was furnished by
the Solar Pitris, the Divine Progenitors [S D II 94, 103, 164, 167, 243,
246-8, 585,] even as the original form was the gift of the Lunar Pitris or
progenitors. The three higher classes of Arupa, Pitris supervised this
change. 

Many names have been given to these supernal beings: Agnishwatta, celestial
ancestors, Sishta, Fire Dhyanis, Solar Pitris, Lords of Flame and the Heart
of the Dhyan Chohanic Body.

One-third of the Dhyanis, we are told by the Book of Dzyan, were doomed by
Karmic law to re-incarnate upon this earth before attaining further
perfection. [S D II 94, 246, 489, 585] 

They are also called in a mysterious manner the Fifth Hierarchy presiding
over Makara, the principality associated with the zodiacal sign of
Capricornus.
These "projected the spark," that served to impart Manas to the Amanasa,
mindless shells of humanity. [S D I 233, 238, 246, 265, 275, 571; II 85] 

Incidentally, we are told some of those who had refrained from incarnation
hastened to do so and carry on their progress, and were made by Karma to
repent of their delay; they then incarnated in human-kind - lest worse evil
should befall the already defiled earthly frames; and mankind recognized
what had been the "sins" of the "mindless." [S D II 180, 185, 191-2, 688-9]

These Third Race men may be viewed as forming three groups. In the first
the Lords of Flame who incarnated before the separation of the sexes, i.e.,
in Androgyne or Hermaphrodite man. These included those of whom ancient
tradition speaks of as demigods, rishis, and heroes.

Secondly, the group of common humanity in each of whom a spark entered, in
the far distant past of eighteen million years, a spark of Solar divinity,
of mind, of intellect, conscious on our plane. [S D I 150fn; II 69, 249]

Thirdly, there were the mindless, who brought into the world much sin and
suffering, and strange forms of life; but who were later on joined to the
second group.

The Secret Doctrine is a vast storehouse of history and doctrine, and its
pages contain an explanation of many a myth.  

May we say in conclusion: We must remember that when a "race" or a "group"
or "tribes" are mentioned we are dealing with the physical forms used by the
immortal Egos of the Monads -- the Immortal Pilgrims that we all are, and
which are all developing together in a seemingly chaotic combination of both
cooperation and selfish isolation.  

Interlaced with these by Karma we will find and will also have to
distinguish between the Egoic (divine progress), which is to be disentangled
from the psycho-manasic level of self-conscious development. 

The Atlantean Fourth Race arose while the Third faded into the past, and a
vast concourse of forgotten nations came upon the scene of time, flourished
and passed away. This caused an increasing separation between the higher
groups and the lower sub-races of the delayed group; between the "sons of
light," and the "progeny of darkness." From the sons of light was developed
the nascent civilization of Atlantis; from the low forms of Lemuria,
reinforced by interbreeding with the more degenerate of the Atlanteans,
sprang series of races, fitly comparable to and indeed forerunners of the
savage races we now know as Australians, certain wild tribes in China and
Borneo, Bushmen and Negritos. A number of tribes and remnants have already
disappeared. Some groups have been badly decimated.

Convulsions of nature made an end to Lemuria; and it is stated that its
sinking began at the most northerly part, proceeded to the equatorial
regions, and the last portion to disappear was adjacent to Ceylon, the Lanka
of the succeeding Atlantean continent. In these profound changes of the
earth's surface the Lemuro-Atlantean stock was saved, as by a divine
interposition, by a Manu, a Noah: this substitution of a Fourth Race for a
Third destroyed by a deluged world, is the foundation of such myths of the
Chaldeans, of Genesis, and the Hindu Vaivasvata; a salvation, similarly
repeated, millions of years later, when the Fourth Race was replaced by
the Fifth after similar convulsions and a deluged world.

The future points, we are told, leads us all to a "Moment of Choice" [S D I
247, 265; II 149, 249, 261, 300-1; M L p. 47] where humanity has to
choose whether it will continue its evolution spiritually, in harmony with
brotherly cooperation, justice, and mercy for all -- compassion, is the
right word. Each individual is now engaged in making this momentous
determination. 

If we kook at S D I 200 and the diagram given there, we will see that
GLOBE D leads up to Globes E, F, and G. 

If we refer to The VOICE OF THE SILENCE, we find in Fragment III (pp. 52-3)
that these Globes correspond to the last 3 Paramitas:

VIRYA (dauntless energy that fights its way to the supernal truth out of the
mire of lies terrestrial); 

DHYANA (whose golden gate leads the Narjol towards the realm of Sat eternal
and its ceaseless contemplation} and, [Narjol -- see Gloss: pp 188, 225,
381]

PRAJNA (the key which makes of a man a God, creating him a Bodhisattva, son
of the Dhyanis.)

Those who are intuitive may draw from this a concept of what lies in store
for each of us.


Best wishes,

Dallas

Thanks; as far as I can see it today, creation is a creation of states of 
consciousness, and the bodies are their reflection. We are basically 
eternally perfect, but we don't have the state of consciousness which will 
enable us to reflect it, as the great Masters do. 


The role of the Masters, 
who stand behind all this creation, when they come to earth, do give witness

that Perfection is possible at any stage, hence the Master takes an ordinary

human body, he doesn't come with some unique, celestial body.


These statements below, whether true or false, might give the excuse, which 
I hear constantly: "I am not ready yet" - for taking spiritual 
responsibility. These are creations of physical forms, and we are not of 
the physical.
