Artificial Intelligence is the basis of computers and the internet. 
And as I have talked about at length, there is nothing new or newly 
invented but used in a different manner in present. And before 
Christ we have Cicero (the great man who wrote the Philipics against 
Anthony—you should think that I would hate him, but I don't) who was 
one of the great founders of the manner in which the mind or brain 
can be used to store things which can be recovered in an orderly and 
logical manner ! That is the basis of the computer.

Except one other thing : the computer is in actuality a calculator. 
The calculator came first and the computer was based on the 
functioning of the first electronic calculators. But the storing of 
memory and its retrieval was first discovered, used and brought to a 
high and spiritual art. The greatest of these philosophers built 
elaborate inner architectural structures which were used as « 
shelves » places where information could be placed and later 
retrieved. Some of them were elaborate such as use of astrology or 
letters or trees, which was one of Lulle's tactics.  

In addition to developing the art of public speaking and elocution, 
this great mind, man, master Cicero at some point accepted the 
belief system of the Platonist and the Pythagoreans in their belief 
that the soul was of divine origin and that it was also immortal.  
Now, you will recall that the tenets of Christianity are based on 
these two features. And thus it created or set the stage for the 
fight between Creationists and Evolutionists, even between religion 
and science which holds till today. 

The Creationists would have you believe that we have some sort of 
intelligent design ID which created life. The Evolutionists deny ID 
and state blankly that all things came from each other up from the 
lowest form to the highest form and that it took billions of years. 
They both have a modicum or combination of the truth. I have refined 
my belief somewhat in how all this has happened.

I believe that man did ascend from apes and went through the animal 
forms but I have combined my beliefs with that of the ancient Indian 
wisdom which teaches this was all done by means of the laws of 
rebirth. That we spent time in these bodies is true, but that was 
for our ultimate evolution. It did not create man, it only made the 
higher man possible.

Thus in history or rather prehistory or the historical or 
archeological record some damn where we MUST find that there was 
ALWAYS humanity (or gods) alongside apes and other animals. The two 
always coexisted. And more and more archeologists are finding what 
Blavatsky predicted more than a century ago, proof for Creation as 
well as Evolution. That man was not created or evolved in isolation 
I think that everyone will agree upon. But there were always adepts 
who were placed in the bodies of lower species to bring them up to 
their level of evolution.

Just as adepts and masters are placed in all the races in order to 
keep their evolution going, so too are they placed in lower kingdoms 
(in past aeons). And when this CEASES then that particular engine 
will also cease. When a race or group of mankind is about to go 
extinct or near extinct, just as in the days of Atlantis the great 
ones LEAVE it first before it goes to ruin. You can take that to the 
bank of knowledge.
