Dear Friends:

The SECRET DOCTRINE is a mine of valuable information for those who read and
wonder about its statements:


Re: Races beginning and ending


"The human Races are born one from the other, grow, develop, become old, and
die. Their sub-races and nations follow the same rule. If your all-denying
modern science and so-called philosophy do not contest that the human family
is composed of a variety of well-defined types and races, it is only because
the fact is undeniable, no one would say that there was no external
difference between an Englishman, an African negro, and a Japanese or
Chinaman. 

On the other hand it is formally denied by most naturalists that mixed human
races, i.e., the seeds for entirely new races, are any longer formed in our
days. But this last is maintained on good grounds by de Quatrefages and some
others. 

Nevertheless our general proposition will not be accepted. It will be said
that whatever forms man has passed through in the long pre-historic Past
there are no more changes for him (save certain variations, as at present)
in the future. Hence that our Sixth and Seventh Root Races are fictions. 

To this it is again answered: How do you know? 

Your experience is limited to a few thousand years, to less than a day in
the whole age of Humanity and to the present types of the actual continents
and isles of our Fifth Race. How can you tell what will or will not be?
Meanwhile, such is the prophecy of the Secret Books and their no uncertain
statements. 

Since the beginning of the Atlantean Race many million years have passed,
yet we find the last of the Atlanteans, still mixed up with the Aryan
element, 11,000 years ago. This shows the enormous overlapping of one race
over the race which succeeds it, though in character and external type the
elder loses its characteristics, and assumes the new features of the younger
race. This is proved in all the formations of mixed human races. 

Now, Occult philosophy teaches that even now, under our very eyes, the new
Race and Races are preparing to be formed, and that it is in America that
the transformation will take place, and has already silently commenced. 

Pure Anglo-Saxons hardly three hundred years ago, the Americans of the
United States have already become a nation apart, and, owing to a strong
admixture of various nationalities and inter-marriage, almost a race sui
generis, not only mentally, but also physically. "Every mixed race, when
uniform and settled, has been able to play the part of a primary race in
fresh crossings," says de Quatrefages. "Mankind, in its present state, has
thus been formed, certainly, for the greatest part, by the successive
crossing of a number of races at present undetermined" ("The Human Species,"
p. 274.) 

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, in
all its new characteristics. 

After this, in about 25,000 years, they will launch into preparations for
the seventh 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 Sixth Root-Race
will 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 shall its pioneers - the
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 groups on
islands - the mountain peaks of to-day - 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 remnants of once mighty races, the recollection of whose
existence has entirely died out of the remembrance 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 with it slower than its new successor, still changing
in stature, general physique, and mentality, just as the Fourth overlapped
our Aryan race, and the Third had overlapped the Atlanteans. 

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. 

The exultant pulse will beat high in the heart of the race now in the
American zone, but there will be no more Americans when the Sixth Race
commences; no more, in fact, than Europeans; for they will have now become a
new race, and many new nations. Yet the Fifth will not die, but survive for
a while: overlapping the new Race for many hundred thousands of years to
come, it will become transformed with it - slower than its new successor -
still getting entirely altered in mentality, general physique, and stature.
Mankind will not grow again into giant bodies as in the case of the
Lemurians and the Atlanteans; because while the evolution of the Fourth race
led the latter down to the very bottom of materiality in its physical
development, the present Race is on its ascending arc; and the Sixth will be
rapidly growing out of its bonds of matter, and even of flesh. 

Thus it is the mankind of the New world - one by far the senior of our Old
one, a fact men had also forgotten - of Patala (the Antipodes, or the Nether
World, as America is called in India), whose mission and Karma it is, to sow
the seeds for a forthcoming, grander, and far more glorious Race than any of
those we know of at present. 

The Cycles of Matter will be succeeded by Cycles of Spirituality and a fully
developed mind. On the law of parallel history and races, the majority of
the future mankind will be composed of glorious Adepts. 

Humanity is the child of cyclic Destiny, and not one of its Units can escape
its unconscious mission, or get rid of the burden of its co-operative work
with nature. Thus will mankind, race after race, perform its appointed
cycle-pilgrimage. 

Climates will, and have already begun, to change, each tropical year after
the other dropping one sub-race, but only to beget another higher race on
the ascending cycle; while a series of other less favoured groups - the
failures of nature - will, like some individual men, vanish from the human
family without even leaving a trace behind.
 
Such is the course of Nature under the sway of KARMIC LAW: of the ever
present and the ever-becoming Nature. For, in the words of a Sage, known
only to a few Occultists:- 

"the present is the child of the past; the future, the begotten of the
present. and yet, o present moment! knowest thou not that thou hast no
parent, nor canst thou have a child; that thou art ever begetting but
thyself? before thou hast even begun to say 'i am the progeny of the
departed moment, the child of the past,' thou hast become that past itself.
before thou utterest the last syllable, 

BEHOLD! THOU ART NO MORE THE PRESENT BUT VERILY THAT FUTURE. THUS, ARE THE
PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE, THE EVER-LIVING TRINITY IN ONE - THE
MAHAMAYA OF THE ABSOLUTE IS."

Interesting prophecies here to consider,

This may be the quotation our contributor was remembering.

Subject: way Internet developed 


The way Internet developed was analogous to the growth of a new Race.

There is a statement in one of HPB's writings that as the new emerging race 
grows stealthly, one day suddenly world finds the new race has overtaken 
the old. When Internet developed, its growth was not well known and perhaps 
few suspected that it would emerge in the current form in such a short 
period of time. One of the major benefits that the world received by this 
sudden growth of Internet is that the vested interests did not recognize 
the power of Internet and thus they did not have the time to clobber the 
growth by introduction of proprietary technology as well as influence the 
politicians to stifle the development by governmental controls and 
regulation. By the time Internet became widely used, it was too late; the 
horse was out of the barn and nothing could be done. In looking at the 
development of Internet, I feel that there are unmistakable signs that 
higher powers were behind its development.
