Human subraces. Mahatma Teachings, Section III. Races and subraces. The concept of "race of people"

A race is a group of people that has historically developed under certain geographical conditions and has some common hereditary-conditioned morphological and physiological characteristics.

Racial features are hereditary, being adaptive to the conditions of existence / survival.

Three main races:

Mongoloid (Asia) 1. The skin is swarthy, yellowish. 2. Straight coarse black hair, narrow slit eyes with a fold of the upper eyelid (epicanthus). 3. Flat and rather wide nose, lips are moderately developed. 6. Growth of the majority is average or below average.

→Steppe landscape, high temperature, sharp drops, strong wind.

Caucasoid (Europe) 1. Light-skinned (to absorb the sun's rays). 2. Straight or wavy light blond or dark blond soft hair. Grey, green or brown eyes. 3. Narrow and strongly protruding nose (to warm the air), not thick lips. 4. Medium or strong development of hair on the body and on the face.

Australo-Negroid (Africa) 1. Dark skin. 2. Curly dark hair, brown or black eyes. 3. Wide nose, thick lips. 4. Tertiary hairline is poorly developed.

→High humidity and temperature.

Racial differences of the 1st order - morphological (skin color, nose, lips, hair).

Racial differences of the 2nd order: adaptation to the environment, isolation over vast expanses as a result of sharp borders between the continents, social isolation (endogamy, isolation of the group), spontaneous mutation (for example, head index, blood composition, bone composition).

The problem of the number of main races is still actively debated. In almost all schemes of racial classifications, at least three general groups (three large races) are necessarily distinguished: Mongoloids, Negroids and Caucasians, although the names of these groups may change. The first known classification of human races was published in 1684 by F. Bernier. He singled out four races, the first of which is common in Europe, North Africa, Asia Minor and India, and to which the indigenous people of America are also close, the second race is common in the rest of Africa, the third in East Asia, the fourth in Lapland.

K. Linnaeus in the tenth edition of "The System of Nature" (1758) described four geographical variants within the species Homo sapiens introduced by him: American, European, Asian, African, and also proposed a separate version for the Lapps. The principles for distinguishing races were then still uncertain: in the characterization of races, K. Linnaeus included not only signs of appearance, but also temperament (the people of America are choleric, Europe - sanguine, Asia - melancholic and Africa - phlegmatic) and even such cultural and everyday features as tailoring, etc.

In similar classifications by J. Buffon and I. Blumenbach, the South Asian (or Malay) race and the Ethiopian race were additionally distinguished. For the first time, an assumption was made about the emergence of races from a single variant as a result of settlement in climatically different regions of the Earth. I. Blumenbach considered the Caucasus to be the center of racial formation. He was the first to apply the method of anthropological craniology to build his system.

In the 19th century racial classifications became more complicated and supplemented. Within the large races, small ones began to stand out, but the signs of such a distinction in the systems of the 19th century. often served as features of culture and language.

The famous French naturalist and naturalist J. Cuvier divided people into three races according to skin color: the Caucasian race; Mongolian race; Ethiopian race.

P. Topinar also distinguished these three races by pigmentation, but determined the width of the nose in addition to pigmentation: light-skinned, narrow-nosed race (Caucasoid); yellow-skinned, medium-broad-nosed race (Mongoloid); black, broad-nosed race (Negroid).

A. Retzius introduced the term "cranial index" into anthropology, and his four races (1844) differed in the combination of the degree of protrusion of the face and the head index.

E. Haeckel and F. Müller based the classification of races on the shape of the hair. They identified four groups: tufted (lofokomy) - mainly Hottentots: woolly-haired (eriokomy) - Negroes; wavy-haired (euplocomas) - Europeans, Ethiopians, etc .; straight-haired (euplokoms) - Mongols, Americans, etc.

Three main approaches to the classification of races:

a) without regard to origin - three large races are distinguished, which include 22 small ones, some of which are transitional, depicted as a circle;

b) taking into account the origin and kinship - highlighting signs of archaism (ancient) and evolutionary advancement of individual races; depicted as an evolutionary tree with a short trunk and divergent branches;

c) based on the population concept - based on the data of paleoanthropological studies; the essence is that large races are huge populations, small races are subpopulations of large ones, within which specific ethnic formations (nations, nationalities) are smaller populations. It turns out a structure that includes levels of hierarchy: an individual - an ethnic group - a small race - a large race.

The classification system of I. Deniker is the first serious system based only on biological characteristics. The groups singled out by the author practically unchanged, although with different names, passed into later racial schemes. I. Deniker was the first to use the idea of ​​two levels of differentiation - the selection first of the main, and then of the minor races.

Deniker identified six racial trunks:

group A (woolly hair, wide nose): Bushman, Negro, Negro and Melanesian races;

group B (curly or wavy hair): Ethiopian, Australian, Dravidian and Assyrian races;

group C (wavy, dark or black hair and dark eyes): Indo-Afghan, Arab or Semitic, Berber, Southern European, Ibero-Islandic, Western European and Adriatic races;

group D (wavy or straight hair, blondes with light eyes): North European (Nordic) and East European races;

group E (straight or wavy, black hair, dark eyes): Ainos, Polynesian, Indonesian and South American races;

group F (straight hair): North American, Middle American, Patagonian, Eskimo, Lopar, Ugric, Turko-Tatar and Mongolian races.

Among the European races, in addition to the above, Deniker singled out certain sub-races: northwestern; sub-nordic; whistulian or eastern.

The population of our planet is so diverse that one can only be surprised. What kind of nationalities, nationalities you will not meet! Everyone has their own faith, customs, traditions, orders. Its beautiful and unusual culture. However, all these differences are formed only by the people themselves in the process of social historical development. And what underlies the differences that appear externally? After all, we are all very different:

• blacks;
• yellow-skinned;
• white;
• with different eye colors
• various heights, etc.

It is obvious that the reasons are purely biological, not dependent on the people themselves and formed over thousands of years of evolution. This is how the modern races of man were formed, which theoretically explain the visual diversity of human morphology. Let us consider in more detail what this term is, what is its essence and meaning.

The concept of "race of people"

What is a race? It is not a nation, not a people, not a culture. These concepts should not be confused. After all, representatives of different nationalities and cultures can freely belong to the same race. Therefore, the definition can be given such as the science of biology gives.

Human races are a set of external morphological features, that is, those that are the phenotype of a representative. They were formed under the influence of external conditions, the impact of a complex of biotic and abiotic factors, and were fixed in the genotype during evolutionary processes. Thus, the signs that underlie the division of people into races should include:

• growth;
• skin and eye color;
• structure and shape of hair;
• hairiness of the skin;
• features of the structure of the face and its parts.

All those signs of Homo sapiens as a biological species that lead to the formation of the external appearance of a person, but do not affect his personal, spiritual and social qualities and manifestations, as well as the level of self-development and self-education.

People of different races have a completely identical biological springboard for the development of certain abilities. Their general karyotype is the same:

• women - 46 chromosomes, that is, 23 pairs of XX;
• men - 46 chromosomes, 22 pairs XX, 23 pairs - XY.

This means that all representatives of a reasonable person are one and the same, among them there are no more or less developed, superior to others, higher. From a scientific point of view, everyone is equal.

Types of human races, formed over about 80 thousand years, have an adaptive value. It is proved that each of them was formed in order to provide a person with the possibility of a normal existence in a given habitat, to facilitate adaptability to climatic, relief and other conditions. There is a classification showing which races of Homo sapiens existed before, and which are at the present time.

Race classification

She is not alone. The thing is that until the 20th century it was customary to distinguish 4 races of people. These were the following varieties:

• Caucasian;
• australoid;
• negroid;
• Mongoloid.

For each, detailed characteristic features were described by which any individual of the human species could be identified. However, later the classification became widespread, which includes only 3 human races. This became possible due to the unification of the Australoid and Negroid groups into one.

Therefore, the modern types of human races are as follows.

1. Large: Caucasoid (European), Mongoloid (Asian-American), Equatorial (Australian-Negroid).
2. Small: many different branches that were formed from one of the large races.

Each of them is characterized by its own characteristics, signs, external manifestations in the appearance of people. All of them are considered by anthropologists, and the science itself that studies this issue is biology. Human races have interested people since ancient times. Indeed, completely contrasting external features often became the cause of racial strife and conflict.

Genetic studies of recent years allow again to talk about the division of the equatorial group into two. Consider all 4 races of people who stood out earlier and have become relevant again recently. We note the signs and features.

australoid race

Typical representatives of this group include the indigenous people of Australia, Melanesia, Southeast Asia, and India. Also the name of this race is Australo-Veddoid or Australo-Melanesian. All synonyms make it clear which minor races are included in this group. They are the following:

• australoids;
• veddoids;
• Melanesians.

In general, the characteristics of each group represented do not vary too much among themselves. There are several main features that characterize all small races of people of the Australoid group.

1. Dolichocephaly - an elongated shape of the skull in relation to the proportions of the rest of the body.
2. Deep-set eyes, wide slit. The color of the iris is predominantly dark, sometimes almost black.
3. The nose is wide, the bridge of the nose is pronounced flat.
4. The body hair is very well developed.
5. The hair on the head is dark in color (sometimes there are natural blonds among Australians, which was the result of a once-fixed natural genetic mutation of the species). Their structure is rigid, they can be curly or slightly curly.
6. The growth of people is average, often above average.
7. The physique is thin, elongated.

Within the Australoid group, people of different races differ from each other sometimes quite strongly. So, a native of Australia can be a tall blonde with a dense build, with straight hair, with light brown eyes. At the same time, the native of Melanesia will be a thin, short dark-skinned representative who has curly black hair and almost black eyes.

Therefore, the general features described above for the entire race are only an average version of their cumulative analysis. Naturally, miscegenation also takes place - a mixture of different groups as a result of natural crossing of species. That is why it is sometimes very difficult to identify a specific representative and attribute him to one or another small and large race.

Negroid race

The people who make up this group are the settlers of the following territories:

• Eastern, Central and Southern Africa;
• part of Brazil;
• some peoples of the USA;
• representatives of the West Indies.

In general, such races of people as Australoids and Negroids used to unite in the equatorial group. However, research in the 21st century has proved the failure of this order. After all, the differences in the signs shown between the designated races are too great. And some similarities are explained very simply. After all, the habitats of these individuals are very similar in terms of the conditions of existence, therefore, the adaptations in appearance are also close.

So, the representatives of the Negroid race are characterized by the following signs.

1. Very dark, sometimes blue-black, skin color, as it is especially rich in melanin content.
2. Wide eye slit. They are large, dark brown, almost black.
3. The hair is dark, curly, coarse.
4. Growth varies, often low.
5. The limbs are very long, especially the arms.
6. The nose is wide and flat, the lips are very thick, fleshy.
7. The jaw is devoid of a chin protrusion and protrudes forward.
8. Ears are large.
9. Facial hair is poorly developed, beard and mustache are absent.

Negroids are easy to distinguish from others by external data. Below are the different races of people. The photo reflects how clearly Negroids differ from Europeans and Mongoloids.

Mongoloid race

Representatives of this group are characterized by special features that allow them to adapt to rather difficult external conditions: desert sands and winds, blinding snow drifts, and so on.

Mongoloids are the indigenous people of Asia and much of America. Their characteristic features are as follows.

1. Narrow or slanting eyes.
2. The presence of epicanthus - a specialized skin fold aimed at covering the inner corner of the eye.
3. The color of the iris is light to dark brown.
4. characterized by brachycephaly (short head).
5. Superciliary ridges thickened, strongly protruding.
6. Sharp high cheekbones are well defined.
7. The hairline on the face is poorly developed.
8. The hair on the head is coarse, dark in color, of a straight structure.
9. The nose is not wide, the bridge of the nose is low.
10. Lips of different thickness, usually narrow.
11. Skin color varies in different representatives from yellow to swarthy, there are also fair-skinned people.

It should be noted that another characteristic feature is short stature, both in men and women. It is the Mongoloid group that prevails in numbers, if we compare the main races of people. They populated almost all climatographic zones of the Earth. Close to them in terms of quantitative characteristics are Caucasians, which we will consider below.

Caucasian race

First of all, we will designate the predominant habitats of people from this group. It:

• Europe.
• North Africa.
• Western Asia.

Thus, representatives unite the two main parts of the world - Europe and Asia. Since the living conditions were also very different, then the general signs are again an average option after analyzing all the indicators. Thus, the following features of appearance can be distinguished.

1. Mesocephaly - medium head in the structure of the skull.
2. Horizontal section of the eyes, absence of strongly pronounced superciliary ridges.
3. Narrow protruding nose.
4. Lips of different thickness, usually of medium size.
5. Soft curly or straight hair. There are blondes, brunettes, brown-haired.
6. Eye color from light blue to brown.
7. Skin color also varies from pale, white to swarthy.
8. The hairline is very well developed, especially on the chest and face of men.
9. The jaws are orthognathic, that is, slightly pushed forward.

In general, a European is easy to distinguish from others. Appearance allows you to do this almost unmistakably, even without using additional genetic data.

If you look at all the races of people, the photo of whose representatives is located below, the difference becomes obvious. However, sometimes the signs are mixed so deeply that the identification of the individual becomes almost impossible. He is able to belong to two races at once. This is further aggravated by intraspecific mutation, which leads to the appearance of new traits.

For example, Negroid albinos are a special case of the appearance of blonds in the Negroid race. A genetic mutation that disrupts the integrity of racial traits in a given group.

Origin of human races

Where did such a variety of signs of the appearance of people come from? There are two main hypotheses that explain the origin of human races. It:

• monocentrism;
• polycentrism.

However, none of them has yet become an officially accepted theory. According to the monocentric point of view, initially, about 80 thousand years ago, all people lived in the same territory, and therefore their appearance was approximately the same. However, over time, growing numbers have led to a wider settlement of people. As a result, some groups found themselves in difficult climatic conditions.

This led to the development and fixation at the genetic level of some morphological adaptations that help in survival. For example, dark skin and curly hair provide thermoregulation and a cooling effect on the head and body in Negroids. And the narrow cut of the eyes protects them from sand and dust, as well as from blinding by white snow among the Mongoloids. The developed hairline of Europeans is a kind of thermal insulation in severe winters.

Another hypothesis is called polycentrism. She says that different types of human races descended from several ancestral groups that were unevenly settled around the globe. That is, there were initially several foci, from which the development and consolidation of racial characteristics began. Again, under the influence of climatic conditions.

That is, the process of evolution proceeded linearly, simultaneously affecting aspects of life on different continents. This is how the formation of modern types of people from several phylogenetic lines took place. However, it is not necessary to state for sure about the validity of this or that hypothesis, since there is no evidence of a biological and genetic nature, at the molecular level.

Modern classification

The races of people according to the estimates of current scientists have the following classification. Two trunks stand out, and each of them has three large races and many small ones. It looks like this.

1. Western trunk. Includes three races:

• Caucasians;
• capoids;
• negroids.

The main groups of Caucasians: Nordic, Alpine, Dinaric, Mediterranean, Falian, East Baltic and others.

Minor races of capoids: Bushmen and Khoisans. They inhabit South Africa. In the fold above the eyelids, they are similar to the Mongoloids, but in other ways they differ sharply from them. The skin is not elastic, which is why the appearance of early wrinkles is characteristic of all representatives.

Groups of Negroids: Pygmies, Nilots, Negroes. All of them are settlers of different parts of Africa, therefore they have similar signs of appearance. Very dark eyes, the same skin and hair. Thick lips and no chin protrusion.

2. Eastern trunk. Includes the following major races:

• australoids;
• americanoids;
• Mongoloids.

Mongoloids - are divided into two groups - northern and southern. These are the indigenous inhabitants of the Gobi Desert, which left its mark on the appearance of these people.

Americanoids are the population of North and South America. They have a very high growth, the epicanthus is often developed, especially in children. However, the eyes are not as narrow as those of the Mongoloids. Combine the characteristics of several races.

Australoids consist of several groups:

• Melanesians;
• veddoids;
• Ainu;
• Polynesians;
• Australians.

Their characteristic features have been discussed above.

Minor races

This concept is a rather highly specialized term that allows you to identify any person to any race. After all, each big one is subdivided into many small ones, and they are already compiled on the basis of not only small external distinguishing features, but also include data from genetic studies, clinical analyzes, and molecular biology facts.

Therefore, small races - this is what allows you to more accurately reflect the position of each individual in the system of the organic world, and specifically, in the composition of the species Homo sapiens sapiens. What specific groups exist was discussed above.

Racism

As we found out, there are different races of people. Their signs can be strongly polar. This is what led to the emergence of the theory of racism. She says that one race is superior to another, since it is made up of more highly organized and perfect beings. At one time, this led to the appearance of slaves and their white masters.

However, from the point of view of science, this theory is completely absurd and untenable. The genetic predisposition to the development of certain skills and abilities is the same for all peoples. The proof that all races are biologically equal is the possibility of free interbreeding between them with the preservation of the health and viability of the offspring.

In Stanza 4, sloka 17 of The Secret Doctrine we read: “BREATH (THE HUMAN MONAD) NEED FORM; THE FATHERS GIVE IT. THE BREATH NEEDED A DENSE BODY; THE EARTH SHAPED HIM. THE BREATH NEEDED THE SPIRIT OF LIFE; SOLAR LHA (GODS) INHALED IT INTO HER FORM. BREATH NEEDED A MIRROR OF ITS BODY (AStral SHADOW); "WE GAVE HIM OUR OWN!" - SAID DHIA-NI. THE BREATH NEED A CARRIER OF DESIRES (KAMA RU-PA); "IT HAS IT!" - SAID THE WATER DRYER (JOKE, FIRE OF PASSION AND ANIMAL INSTINCT). BUT BREATH REQUIRES MIND TO COMPLETE THE UNIVERSE; "WE CAN'T GIVE IT!" THE FATHERS SAID. "I NEVER HAVE IT!" – SAID THE SPIRIT OF THE EARTH. "THE SHAPE WILL BURN IF I GIVE HER MINE!" – SAID THE GREAT (SOLAR) FIRE... (NEEDING) MAN REMAINED EMPTY, MEANINGLESS BHU-TA... SO BONELESS GAVE LIFE TO THOSE WHO (LATER) BECAME HUMANS, STRENGTHENED WITH BONES IN THE THIRD (RACE)» .

All the above forms are in a sense "astral bodies", that is, they are created by Light, Heat and Moisture; they are the vehicles through which six of the seven basic principles of life first come into operation. Vital impulses are communicated to these conductors or forms of energy by the action of spiritual Beings who develop six states of energy and substance - the basis for the further unfolding of all material forms. However, the astral forms of the first three divisions were the bodies of the first three Root Races of humanity. Each of them was absorbed by their descendants and, in the end, all three as one united into a permanent astral body or form, within which the "Earth formed" the physical body. It was in the people of the Third Root Race that the Sons of Reason were embodied - those who gave the Breath the "Spirit of Life" and, thus, turned the other half of the mindless race into a special race of souls in physical bodies.

In interpreting the second sloka of this Stanza, it should be understood that the races of the period mentioned in the first sloka have not yet developed to such an extent that they can be endowed with the Higher Mind. But a very limited number of Individuals have received their "second Initiation into the Great White Lodge of humanity", as this Organization is presented by the Masters in some of Their personal Instructions to students. But there were individual representatives of more highly developed races, incarnated in past ages, who reached a certain degree of knowledge and power and were known as "Twice-born - Initiates - Lords of the Sacred Mystic Fire." These Initiates reincarnated to further the evolution of the races with which They were karmically connected.

Being endowed with the Supreme Mind, the Ego - the Divine Soul - acquired a complete Individuality. Man is free to ascend to immeasurable heights or descend to equally immeasurable depths, but he can never again be the irresponsible creature he was before. He has already entered the Central Flame of the “Great Initiatory Chambers” – the Sacred Mystical Fire, figuratively speaking, and this Flame will either purify or destroy the elemental substance of his lower desires and passions.

At the apex of a race's developmental period, Divine impulses of cyclic law set in motion certain elemental forces that destroy races that have not fully realized their potentialities, and finally use the energy generated during the destruction of one race to create another. It's a paradox, but it takes the same amount of life force to kill as it does to create.

The yellow and brown races preserved the Divine Power acquired in other ages and incarnations – the ability to concentrate. Even the subsequent degeneration and loss did not completely deprive them of this gift. It is the conscious possession of this ability and the possibility of using it that will be the basis of their military strategies in any confrontation with the white race.

When evidence of this ability of concentration was brought to the attention of the white race in the brown, yellow, and in earlier times in the red race, the vast majority of the white race ignored, neglected or arrogantly regarded this evidence, although it was already known what strength and endurance gives this ability, what contempt for physical pain and even for death itself. One of the testimonies of this ability is national and racial devotion, which will provide the ideal necessary for the unification of common efforts and the wise direction of the energy now used to create, equip and train armies. This energy was once used to master and control natural desires and vital functions, and to produce magical and psychic phenomena, but now it is turned in the opposite direction, and we would like to ask what preparations the white race made to meet and fight these forces. when they will be thrown into battle to destroy it?

It would be a very serious mistake to think that one is obliged or allowed to have an intimate relationship with a member of the opposite sex of an antagonistic race for the sole reason that such contacts have been predicted to be inevitable in the future.

STATION III

“The beasts of the field and the birds of the air will meet and part peacefully; both will feed on the Purple Seed, a gift received directly from the Gods. Everything that grows on the lower solid layer of the Wheel will henceforth be forbidden, and a person will live by the power of his Will instead of coarser food. < ... >

Returning to the commented sloka, we must remember that all statements in this long paragraph are predictions of events that will take place during the existence of some of the later sub-races of the Root-Race in question.

The masculine aspect of the one Ox-Cow will have supremacy in the last sub-race of the last round of the age, for the reason that the feminine aspect of the same Ox-Cow dominated in the previous round, and the masculine and feminine principles rise in turn from the beginning to the end of the Manvantara. The seed of the future race is always collected in the women of the last sub-race of each Root Race, therefore, in the last sub-race of the Third Root Race, the seed of humanity of the first sub-race of the next Root Race should have been preserved in a similar way.

In the second half of the Third Age, the substance of which the bodies of the people of the First Race were composed began to harden; the composition of all matter became more and more dense and coarse, and the animal forms created by the mindless man, as well as the human race, began to differentiate.

The asexuals eventually became bisexual, and modern methods of conception and birth became common.

Around the same time, another continent appeared above the surface of the water; other atmospheric and magnetic conditions were manifested, and by the end of the Fourth Period, many of the bisexual offspring of the previous races had settled on the new continent and changed considerably in appearance.

The “Leather Robe” took on a yellow tint, and the spiritual purity and beauty of these beings greatly diminished.

Then the race fell into a terrible sin, and there was a deep division between families, tribes and larger groups. One of the groups - subraces - fell into a great carnal sin and took on black, the other - red, the third - brown, but a certain part of the original race did not allow itself to be drawn into a gross sin, to which the rest succumbed, and remained on the primordial continent, retaining its original color through the ages; it was they who were the ancestors of the modern Chinese race.

At the end of the Fourth Age, the Himalayas, the oldest mountain range on Earth, rose up from the ocean floor and surrounded the earthly sphere, starting from the present low-lying part of North Asia, which, incidentally, was the first continent to rise after the separation of the sexes. Only a comparatively short section of this mountain range is now above sea level, but at that time it represented an impenetrable barrier between the northern and southern sub-races, and also between the continents that subsequently arose and the "Land of the Blessed" - the North Pole; and not only did this barrier stand before man, for it blocked the path of the southern warm air, water and magnetic currents, and turned the polar region into an icy desert, which it remains today, and must remain until these barriers (many sections of which are under water) will not be destroyed during changes in the shape of the earth's surface. This will happen during the life of the Sixth Race, which by that time will populate the Earth.

Then the continents now above the water and many of the islands of the southern hemisphere will disappear. Lemuria will rise again and communication between her and the northern continent will be restored.

It should be remembered that, just as different races and sub-races mutually find each other, the predestinations of the karmic law are also superimposed. For comparison, we can say that only a small part of the karma of a race or a nation is completely extinguished during the cycle in which it was produced. The predestinations of the racial and national karma created in the present wars, both good and bad, are realized in part in the first sub-races of the Sixth Race, in order to be finally fulfilled or redeemed during its third and fourth sub-races, when the next Messianic cycle and all the unexpired karma of all previous ones come. races will fall on humanity, which will undergo a test of strength in order to reach the highest point in the development of the race - the last test of a person for the right to own his Divine Heritage - Perfection. But the possibility of avoiding the action of Karma in the current cycle cannot serve as an argument in favor of the current slaughter.

04.01.39 Now your questions. “Is the real fifth race a root race or a sub-race, and are not only the Hindus belonging to the fifth race?”

According to esoteric data, it is the northern Ariavarta Indians, or Aryans, who belong to the fifth sub-race of the fifth root race.

And each successive root-race crystallizes out of its corresponding sub-race. Thus, the fifth root race originated in the fifth sub-race of the fourth race, therefore the coming sixth race takes shape from the sixth sub-race of the fifth root race. Representatives of the sixth sub-race of the fifth race are scattered over a large area, and therefore it can be said that the sixth race is now emerging in many places. But, of course, the main core of the future root race gathers in a certain place, and by the time the displacement occurs, its carriers will gather at this protected place. Of course, there are still many representatives of different branches of the fourth race and even the third on earth. If the majority of Europeans belong to the fifth sub-race of the fifth root-race, yet among them the sixth sub-race can be found. Even in the conglomeration of England, rare tribes can be found belonging to the sixth sub-race.

The Greeks and Romans belonged to the fifth sub-race of the fifth root race, the Egyptians to the fourth sub-race of the fifth race.

Individual human evolution

23.09.37 Each isolated or taken separately human ability has a relative, not an absolute value. As the mind, not enlightened by the fires of the heart, so the heart, not supported by the mind, are ugly phenomena. Everything needs balance. The goal of evolution is the achievement of balance or harmony of all human abilities and feelings. The calamity of our time lies precisely in the established terrible inconsistency between the mind and the heart. If we have Infinity before us, then, of course, all abilities can develop indefinitely. But, again, their correct development will be determined by the balance or harmonious disclosure of all the forces inherent in a person. Synthesis is the highest harmony...

Each planetary cycle, or Circle, has its limit for the development of the human organism, and with each new cycle the level of achievement rises. So Manas, or the Higher Mind, on our Earth will receive its full development in the fifth Round and in its fifth race, while we are still only in the fourth Round and in the fifth race at its completion, therefore for our Circle Manas has already reached the apogee of its development, and with the birth of the sixth race, or rather, with its establishment, for there are already quite a few people belonging to the sixth race, we will enter the era of the development of spiritual consciousness, which has its foundation in the heart.

Space Builders

The White Brotherhood as a representation of the cosmic mind on Earth

Great Teachers

1937 Recently, science has come so close to the most occult discoveries in the field of the subtlest energies. Therefore, you can firmly and calmly insist before everyone on your knowledge of the effects of psychic energy, which is so clearly manifested in the transmission of thoughts at a distance and in the increase of vibrations that are captured by the finest apparatus during intense mental work. We study psychic and parapsychic phenomena, in which all the leading, best scientists are now interested. We can also affirm our knowledge of the existence of the Stronghold of Knowledge, or the Brotherhood of Mahatmas, these elder Brothers of humanity, who have dedicated themselves to great knowledge for the common good and who follow the evolution of the world. All great discoveries, all great ideas have invariably come and come from this Source of Knowledge and Light. As Professor Harley says: “There must be high Beings in the cosmos, whose intelligence is as much higher than ours, as the latter exalts the mind of a simple beetle, and these beings take an active part in managing the evolutionary processes of Nature.”

So, if anyone does not know about the existence of this Beacon of Humanity, then it remains to take pity on him and advise him to quickly get acquainted with the huge literary material covering millennia, in which many facts and evidence are recorded about the presence of such a Stronghold of Knowledge not in transcendental spheres, but on our Earth. .

Jacob's ladder

06.12.34 The Cosmic Mind is the Hierarchy of Light, or Jacob's Ladder. Moreover, the Crown of this Hierarchy consists of Spirits or Intelligences that have completed their human evolution on one or another planet, in one or another Solar system, the so-called Planetary Spirits, the Creators of the worlds. These Creators of worlds or planets are the Architects of our present and future Universe. During the days of pralaya, They keep the Watch of Brahma and outline the next evolution of the Cosmos. Therefore, the Crown of the Cosmic Mind does not depend on manvantaras, verily, They abide throughout Infinity. Thus, the highest Hierarch of our planet is one of the most beautiful Diamonds in the Crown of Cosmic Reason.

The Cosmic Magnet is the Cosmic Heart or the Consciousness of the Crown of the Cosmic Mind, the Hierarchy of Light. Precisely, the Cosmic Magnet is the connection with the higher worlds at the behest of Being. Our heart connection with the Heart and Consciousness of the Highest Hierarch of our planet introduces us into the powerful current of the Cosmic Magnet.

I am quoting a paragraph from the third part of The Fiery World, which may be appropriate here: “If the human consciousness could compare the eternal with the transient, then there would be glimpses of understanding of the Cosmos, for all the values ​​of mankind are based on eternal basis. But humanity has become so imbued with respect for the transient that it has forgotten about the eternal. Meanwhile, it is significant that the form changes, disappears and is replaced by a new one. Transience is so obvious, and each such transience points to eternal life. Spirit is the creator of every form, but is rejected by humanity. When they understand that the spirit is eternal, then both Infinity and immortality will enter into life. Thus it is necessary to direct the spirit of peoples to the understanding of the Higher Beginnings. Mankind is absorbed in effects, but the root and beginning of everything is creation, but it forgotten. When the spirit is revered as the sacred Fire, then the great ascent will be confirmed.

You correctly note how close all Greek philosophers are to the Teaching. After all, all philosophies, all religions came from the One Source, and the same Great minds that brought Light and gave impetus to the birth of thought at the dawn of our humanity continued to bring it throughout the slow process of evolution of human consciousness. Let us remember those seven Great Spirits, or Kumaras, which are spoken of in The Secret Doctrine. It was these Seven, and among them the Highest, Who accepted the Watch of the World, who appeared at all the turning points of our planet. It was Their consciousness that nourished the consciousness of humanity with the One Truth, brought by Them in the attire of various philosophies and religions that corresponded to the time. How beautifully you say that "The true meaning of the Divine is revealed depending on the opening of consciousness." Yes, great secrets and beauties are revealed to us when our consciousness comes into contact with the light of the Consciousnesses of the Leading Ones. How many wonderful accumulations, namely “sounds and sparkles of the spirit”, flare up in our being when we touch these powerful Sunbearers.

07.12.35 There is a single chain of the Hierarchy of Light, continuing into Infinity, and all the true Carriers of Light, appearing and staying even now on our Earth, are Its Links. Of course, the Sons of Light, who came from the higher worlds (Venus and Jupiter) to our planet, at the end of the third race of our Circle to accelerate the evolution of its humanity, are the greatest Spirits standing at the head of the Hierarchy of Light accessible and closest to us in terms of karma. They are the Ancestors of our consciousness, We owe them our mental development. And, of course, They belong to the chain of the Builders of the Cosmos. Each such Builder must go through human evolution in order to then stand at the head of this or that planet. But since evolution is boundless, then all these Builders, completing one cycle of evolution, begin another, and are born again, but on the Higher Worlds. Ponder deeper into the concept of Infinity.

As for the assertion of the person you mentioned that the Himalayan Mahatmas were born from the Earth, then first of all it would be necessary to find out what he wants to say by this? For, strictly speaking, we can consider only the Prince of this world and all earthlings who respond to his ray as the Spirit and spirits born from the Earth, for each grain of the spirit is born under a certain luminary, which remains its leading star throughout Manvantara. Thus, the Prince of this world belongs to the Earth, and by virtue of his previous achievements on another planet and by cosmic law he is its Master, and it is clear that those spirits who also originated under the corresponding ray will be closest to him. But there are many spirits on our Earth that belong, in their essence, or have in themselves the potential of the energies of other worlds that are part of our solar system, and even such distant ones as Uranus and Neptune, already subject to higher attractions. In addition, let's not forget that the life of all the kingdoms was transferred to our planet from the Moon, which is why the "Secret Doctrine" indicates the double ancestors of mankind - Lunar and Solar. The lunar ancestors are in fact now humanity itself, or rather, the majority of it, but the solar ancestors are those Sons of Light who took upon themselves selfless creativity for the benefit of the entire Cosmos and came to our planet from the higher worlds, as already mentioned, at the end of the Third Races of our Circle. Since that time, They have tirelessly incarnated on the threshold of all races, all great events, in order to each time give a new shift to the consciousness of mankind. Verily, Their lives are strewn with sacrificial deeds. Verily, They have drunk many cups of poison. Thus, they are the Founders of the Great Brotherhood on the Sacred Isle in the time of Atlantis, They are also the Guardians of the Trans-Himalayan Citadel in our Race.

Essence of an Arhat

02.09.37 In the eternal cycle of life, as evolution progresses, the great purpose of man as a collaborator of the Cosmos - in maintaining the balance of cosmic life - will become more and more obvious. Worlds are born and die, while a person who has transmuted all his feelings on the fire of the spirit is transformed into a superman and takes a place among the Higher Spirits and lives in eternity. The highest spirits are the Collaborators of the Great Architect and Mother Nature, the Builders of the worlds and the Leaders of the nations.

<...>his (man. - Ed.) the centers of perceptions and forces correspond to the centers of the energies of the Cosmos.

13.10.29 The understanding of the Arhat lives dimly in the human consciousness, but without this understanding advancement is impossible. In the book “Hierarchy” it is said: “It is customary to see an Arhat in the cloudy region. Records of thinking are terrible and ridiculous. Verily, We, the Brothers of Humanity, do not recognize ourselves in human notions. Our Images are so fantastic that We think that if people would apply fantasy to the opposite, then Our image would take the right form. Everything is on a different scale, everything is incredible, everything does not correspond to reality. Let's say, going to the higher worlds, the Arhat is boundless in all manifestations. The Arhat is walking, carrying the power of the Cosmic Magnet in his heart.

But let's see how this Image lives in the higher consciousness: “The heart of the Cosmos is equal to the heart of the Arhat. The fire of the Sun is equal to the heart of an Arhat. Eternity and the movement of the Cosmos fill the heart of an Arhat. Maitreya comes and burns with all fires, His heart burns with compassion for all impoverished mankind; His heart burns with the affirmation of new beginnings. People have a concept of dead Arhats, and the poor "yogis" feed their imaginations with their images. When humanity understands that the Arhat is the highest manifestation of Matter Lucida, it will understand that there is no distinction between Matter Lucida, which gives light, and the matter of love, which covers everything with light. Humanity clothes the Arhat in a harsh shell, but Materia Lucida shines with love. When will it be possible to illumine a person with Our Image?! It is difficult for thinking to realize the purity of the higher sphere. Let us say to the one who knows the way to Us – “go the way of love, go the way of work, go the way of the shield of faith”. To those who have found Our Image in their hearts, We will say: “Go with your heart, and the Chalice will confirm the path.” To the one who thinks that he has comprehended the path through self-conceit, we will say to him - “go learn from the spirit who knows the end, for self-conceit stops progress.” The call of the heart contains all creativity, the entire cosmic expanse is filled with the call, and the heart of the Cosmos and the heart of the Arhat are full of the call. Call and response are a combination of Cosmic fires. The heart of Our Brotherhood guards the path to the Common Good for humanity.
