Hi Frank
As far as I can tell Svabhaba has nothing to do with people's right to develop their own genius. For me Svabhaba are natural laws and I can find no comment by Purucker on race intermingling, but I will keep looking. I have read that evolved souls will often incarnate into less evolved communities in order to speed up their evolution. An Einstein would never be drawn to a tasmanian aboriginal or vice versa. They exist in two different realities, just as we must seem like inadequate vehicles for 6th or 7th root races. I cannot find anything that suggests Aryans should not intermix. e.g. a Hindu with a Celt, or an Iranian with a Teuton. It would be pointless mixing with 4th root races, say the Mongolians unless it was done out of a sympathetic vibration to speed their evolution.

(Sanskrit) A compound word derived from the verb-root bhu, meaning "to become" -- not so much "to be" in the passive sense, but rather "to become," to "grow into" something. The quasi-pronominal prefix sva, means "self"; hence the noun means "self-becoming," "self-generation," "self-growing" into something. Yet the essential or fundamental or integral Self, although following continuously its own lofty line of evolution, cannot be said to suffer the changes or phases that its vehicles undergo. Like the monads, like the One, thus the Self fundamental -- which, after all, is virtually the same as the one monadic essence -- sends down a ray from itself into every organic entity, much as the sun sends a ray from itself into the surrounding "darkness" of the solar universe.
Svabhava has two general philosophical meanings: first, self-begetting, self-generation, self-becoming, the general idea being that there is no merely mechanical or soulless activity of nature in bringing us into being, for we brought ourselves forth, in and through and by nature, of which we are a part of the conscious forces, and therefore are our own children. The second meaning is that each and every entity that exists is the result of what he actually is spiritually in his own higher nature: he brings forth that which he is in himself interiorly, nothing else. A particular race, for instance, remains and is that race as long as the particular race-svabhava remains in the racial seed and manifests thus. Likewise is the case the same with a man, a tree, a star, a god -- what not!
What makes a rose bring forth a rose always and not thistles or daisies or pansies? The answer is very simple; very profound, however. It is because of its svabhava, the essential nature in and of the seed. Its svabhava can bring forth only that which itself is, its essential characteristic, its own inner nature. Svabhava, in short, may be called the essential individuality of any monad, expressing its own characteristics, qualities, and type, by self-urged evolution.
The seed can produce nothing but what it itself is, what is in it; and this is the heart and essence of the doctrine of svabhava. The philosophical, scientific, and religious reach of this doctrine is simply immense; and it is of the first importance. Consequently, each individual svabhava brings forth and expresses as its own particular vehicles its various svarupas, signifying characteristic bodies or images or forms. The svabhava of a dog, for instance, brings forth the dog body. The svabhava of a rose brings forth the rose flower; the svabhava of a man brings forth man's shape or image; and the svabhava of a divinity or god brings forth its own svarupa or characteristic vehicle.

Mmmh, it's difficult to see the connection between svabhava and the
Windsors.
If I understand my Purucker correct, race intermixing is not supported at
this time by theosophy.
Is it possible that different theosophical groups come to other conclusions?
