Mark,

SD is a short way of writing "The Secret Doctrine" which is the title 
of H.P. Blavatsky's major book. It was published in 1888 as a two 
volume work of about 1500 pages all together. It deals with, among 
other things, esoteric teachings concerning the origin of the universe 
and the origin of humanity on earth. It is a major classic and has been 
very influential among many other organizations including the Arcane 
School, the AMORC and the Oceanside Rosicrucians. Considering your 
interests, I recommend that you obtain a copy and study it. I recommend 
the current editions published by the Theosophy Company and the 
Theosophical University Press.

>>Thus the Americans have become in only three centuries a "primary race" pro tem., before becoming a race apart, and strongly separated from all other now existing races. They are, in short, the germs of the Sixth sub race, and in some few hundred years more, WILL BECOME most decidedly the pioneers of that race which must succeed to the present European or fifth sub-race; UNTIL IN CONSEQUENCE OF CATACLYSMS - the first series of those which must one day destroy Europe, and still later the whole Aryan race (AND THUS AFFECT BOTH AMERICAS), as also most of the lands directly connected with the confines of our continent and isles - the SixthRoot Race whill have appeared on the stage of our Round. When shall this be? Who knows save the great Masters of Wisdom, perchance, and they are as silent upon the subject as the snow-capped peaks that tower above them. All we know is, that it will silently come into existence; so silently, indeed, that for long millenniums ahll its pione!

>>PECULIAR CHILDREN WHO WILL GROW INTO PECULIAR MEN AND WOMEN -be regarded as anomalous lusus naturae, abnormal oddities physically and mentally. Then, as they increase, and their numbers become with every age greater, one day they will awake to find themselves in a majority. It is the present men who will then begin to be regarded as exceptional mongrels, until these die out in their turn in civilised lands; SURVIVING ONLY IN SMALL GROOUPS ON ISLANDS - THE MOUNTAIN PEAKS OF TODAY- where they will vegetate, degenerate, and finally die out, PERHAPS, millions of years hence, as the Aztecs have, as the Nyam-Nyam and the dwarfish Moola Koorumba of the Nilghiri Hills are dying. All these are the remnans of once mighty races, the recollection of whose existence has entirely died out of the rememberance of the modern generations, just as we shall vanish from the memory of the Sixth Race Humanity. The Fifth will overlap the Sixth Race for many hundreds of millenniums, changing w!

>>This process of preparation for the Sixth great Race must last throughout the whole sixth and seventh sub-races (vide supra, the diagram of the Genealogical Tree of the Fifth Race). But the last remnants of the Fifth continent will not disappear until some time after the birth of the new Race, when another and new dwelling, the sixth continent, will have appeared above the new waters on the face of the globe, so as to receive the new stranger. To it also will emigrate and settle ALL THOSE WHO SHALL BE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO ESCAPE THE GENERAL DISASTER. When this shall be - as just said- it is not for the writer to know. Only, as nature no more proceeds by sudden jumps and starts, than man changes suddenly from a child into a mature man, THE FINAL CATACLYSM WILL BE PRECEDED BY MANY SMALLER SUBMERSIONS AND DESTRUCTIONS BOTH BY WAVE AND VOLCANIC FIRES.
