No one who is familiar with the Armenians and the Parsis can fail to recognize in the three the same Aryan, Caucasian type. From the seven primitive types of the Fifth Race there now remain on Earth but three."  
> -The Secret Doctrine, Vol. I, p. 471. --- (I will add: "Artificial" in a sense no doubt because it degenerated for some 8-10,000 years ago and fell karmically as a minor group where most others of the same human types did not. Degenerated as a religious group with its seperatistic doctrines, and coarse materialistic phallic emphais in its doctrines. Doctrines now partly used by the Christians and in some instances even made worse. Dogmatic Fobia doctrines and Phallic doctrines will never really be able to promote altruism - only what is perceived as altruism - but which is emotional arousals. There are of course various degrees of all this. And even so so-called I)nitiates are said to be born in all races from time to time, and according to Balvatsky also among the Jews.)
> (F) --- Se also Mahatma Letter 23b by the one called KH. For instance: " I told you before now, that the highest people now on earth (spiritually) belong to the first sub-race of the fifth root Race; and those are the Aryan Asiatics; the highest race (physical intellectuality) is the last sub-race of the fifth â?" yourselves the white conquerors."
