   The Archangels,  as Spirits and Leaders of a Race, are known to fight for
or against a people, as the exigencies of the evolution of that Race demand.
In Daniel X:20 an Archangel speaking to Daniel, says, "And now will I return
to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince
of Grecia shall come."

   The Archangel Michael is the Race-spirit of the Jews (Daniel XII:1),  but 
JEHOVAH IS NOT THE GOD OF THE JEWS ALONE; HE IS  THE  AUTHOR  OF  ALL  RACE-
RELIGIONS WHICH LED UP TO CHRISTIANITY. Nevertheless, it is true that He did 
take a special interest in the Original Semites,  the  "seed-race"  for  the 
seven races of the Aryan Epoch. Jehovah, of course, takes special care of  a 
seed-race, in which are to be inculcated  the  embryonic  faculties  of  the 
humanity of a new Epoch. For that reason  He was particularly concerned with 
the Original Semites. They were His "chosen people"--chosen  to  be the seed 
for a new Race, which was to inherit the "Promised Land"--the entire  Earth, 
as it is at present.

   He did not lead them out of Egypt.   That story is a confused account  of 
their journey eastward through  flood and disaster out  of  the  doomed  At-
lantis into the "wilderness" (the Desert of Gobi in  Central Asia), there to
wander during the cabalistic forty  years, until  they could enter the  Pro-
mised Land.  There is a double and  peculiar significance to the descriptive
word "promised" in this  connection. The land was called the "promised Land"
because, as land or earth suitable for human occupation, it did not exist at
the time the "chosen people"  were led into the "wilderness."   Part of  the
Earth had been submerged by floods and other parts changed by volcanic erup-
tions, hence it was necessary that a period  of time elapse before  the  new 
Earth was in a fit condition  to  become the possession of the Aryan Race.

[PAGE 2203]

   The contention of the opponents of the Bible,  that it is a mere  mutila-
tion  of the original writings,  is cheerfully agreed to by occult  science.
Parts  of it are even conceded to be entire fabrications and no  attempt  is
made to prove its authenticity as a whole, in the form we now have it.   The
present effort is simply an attempt to exhume a few kernels of occult  truth
from the bewildering mass of misleading and incorrect interpretations  under
which they have been buried by the various translators and revisors.

                    INVOLUTION, EVOLUTION AND EPIGENESIS:

   Having  in the foregoing paragraphs disentangled from the general  confu-
sion  the identity and mission of Jehovah,  it may be that we can  now  find
harmony in the two seemingly contradictory accounts of the creation of  man,
as  recorded in the first and second chapters of Genesis,  in the  first  of
which it is written that he was the last,  and in the second that he was the
first created of all living things.

   We  note that he first chapter deals chiefly with the creation  of  Form,
the second chapter is devoted to the consideration of Life,  while the fifth
chapter  deals with the Consciousness.   They key to the meaning,  then,  is
that we must differentiate sharply between the physical Form,  and the  Life
that  builds that Form for its own expression.   Although the order  of  the
creation of the other kingdoms is not as correctly given in the second chap-
ter as in the first,  it is true that if we consider man from the Life Side,
he was created FIRST, but if we consider him from the standpoint of Form, as
is done in the first chapter, he was created LAST.

   All through the course of evolution--through Periods, Globes, Revolutions

[PAGE 2204]

and Races--those who do not improve by the formation of NEW  characteristics
are held back and immediately begin to degenerate.   Only that which remains
plastic  and pliable and adaptable for molding into new Forms  suitable  for
the  expression of the expanding consciousness; only the Life which  is  ca-
pable of outgrowing the possibilities for improvement inhering in the  forms
it ensouls,  can evolve with the pioneers of any life wave.   All else  must
straggle on behind.

   This  is  the  kernel of the occult teaching.   Progress  is  not  simply
unfoldment;  not simply Involution and Evolution.   There is a third factor,
making a triad--Involution, Evolution, AND--EPIGENESIS.

   The  first two words are familiar to all who have studied Life and  Form,
but while it is generally admitted that the involution of spirit into matter
takes  place in order that form may be built,  it is not so commonly  recog-
nized that THE INVOLUTION OF SPIRIT RUNS SIDE BY SIDE WITH THE EVOLUTION  OF
FORM.

   From  the  very  beginning of the Saturn Period up to  the  time  in  the
Atlantean Epoch when "man's eyes were opened" by the Lucifer Spirits, and as
a  consequence  the activities of man--or the Life-force  which  has  become
man--were chiefly directed inward;  that very same force which he now  sends
out from himself to build railways, steamboats, etc., was used internally in
building  a  vehicle  through which to manifest himself.   This  vehicle  is
threefold, like the spirit which built it.

   The same power by which man is now improving outside conditions was  used
during Involution for purposes of internal growth.

   The  Form  was  built  by  Evolution,  the Spirit built and entered it by

[PAGE 2205]

Involution; but the means for devising improvements is Epigenesis.

   There is a strong tendency to regard all that is,  as the result of some-
thing that has been; all improvements on previously existing forms, as being
present in all forms as latencies; to regard Evolution as simply the unfold-
ing  of germinal improvements.   Such a conception excludes Epigenesis  from
the scheme of things.  It allows no possibility for the building of anything
new, no scope for originality.

   The occultist believes the purpose of evolution to be the development  of
man from a static to a dynamic God--a Creator.   If the development he is at
present undergoing is to be his education and if, during its progress, he is
simply unfolding latent actualities, where does He learn to CREATE?

   If man's development consists solely in learning to build better and bet-
ter  Forms,  according to MODELS already existing in his Creator's mind,  be
can become, at best, only a good IMITATOR--never a CREATOR.

   In order that he may become an independent, original Creator,  it is nec-
essary that his training should include sufficient latitude for the exercise
of  the individual originality which distinguishes creation from  imitation.
So  long as certain features of the old Form meet the requirements  of  pro-
gression they are retained,  but at each rebirth the evolving Life adds such
original improvements as are necessary for its further expression.

   The  pioneers  of  science  are constantly  brought  face  to  face  with
Epigenesis as a fact in all departments of nature.  As early as 1759, Caspar
Wolff  published his "Theoria Generationis,"  in which he shows that in  the
human  ovum  there  is  absolutely no trace of the coming organism; that its

[PAGE 2206]

evolution  consists of the addition of NEW formations;  a building of  some-
thing which is not latent in the ovum.

   Haeckel  (that  great and fearless student of nature as he sees  it,  and
very  near to knowledge of the complete truth regarding evolution)  says  of
the "Theoria Generationis":  "Despite its small compass and difficult termi-
nology,  it is one of the most valuable works in the whole literature of bi-
ology."

   Haeckel's  own  views  we  find  thus  stated  in  his   "Anthropogenie":
"Nowadays we are hardly justified in calling Epigenesis an hypothesis, as we
have  fully convinced ourselves of its being a FACT and are able at any  mo-
ment to demonstrate it by the help of the microscope."

   A  builder would be but a sorry craftsman were his abilities  limited  to
the building of houses after only one particular model,  which,  during  his
apprenticeship, his master had taught him to imitate, but which he is unable
to later to meet new requirements.   To be successful he must be capable  of
designing new and better houses, improving that which experience teaches was
not serviceable in the earlier buildings.  The same force which the  builder
now  directs  outward to built houses better adapted to new  conditions  was
used  in past Periods to build new and better vehicles for the evolution  of
the Ego.

   Starting  with the simplest organisms,  the Life which now Man built  the
Form to suit its necessities.  In due time, as the entity progressed; it be-
come  evident that new improvements must be added which conflicted with  the
lines previously followed.   A new start must be given it in a new  species,
where it could retrieve any previous mistakes which experience taught  would
preclude  further  development if the old lines were adhered to and thus the

[PAGE 2207]

evolving  life would be enabled to progress further in a new species.   When
later experience proved that the new form also was inadequate,  inasmuch  as
it  could not adapt itself to some improvement necessary to the progress  of
the evolving life, it too was discarded and still another departure made, in
a form adaptable to the necessary improvement.

   Thus by successive steps does the evolving Life improve its vehicles, and
the  improvements  is  still going on.   Man,  who is  in  the  vanguard  of
progress,  has built his bodies, from the similitude of the amoeba up to the
human form of the savage,  and from that up through the various grades until
the  most  advanced races are now using the best and most  highly  organized
bodies  on Earth.   Between deaths and rebirths we are  constantly  building
bodies in which to function during our lives and a far greater degree of ef-
ficiency  than  the present will yet be reached.   If we  make  mistakes  in
building  between lives,  they become evident when we are using the body  in
Earth life, and it is well for us if we are able to perceive and realize our
mistakes, that we may avoid making them afresh life after life.

   But  just as the builder of houses would lag commercially if he  did  not
constantly  improve his methods to meet the exigencies of his  business,  so
those  who persistently adhere to the old forms fail to rise above the  spe-
cies  and are left behind,  as stragglers.   These stragglers take the  form
outgrown  by the pioneers,  as previously explained,  and they  compose  the
lower Races and species of any kingdom in which they are evolving.   As  the
Life which is now Man passed through stages analagous to the mineral, plant,
and animal kingdoms and through the lower human Races,  stragglers were left
all  along  the  way  who had failed to reach the necessary standard to keep

[PAGE 2208]

abreast of the crestwave of evolution.  They took the discarded Forms of the
pioneers and used them as stepping-stones,  by means of which they tried  to
overtake  the others,  but the advanced Forms did not stand still.   In  the
progress of Evolution there is no halting-place.   In evolving Life,  as  in
commerce, there is no such thing as MERELY "holding your own."   Progression
or  Retrogression  is  the Law.   The Form that is not  capable  of  further
improvement must Degenerate.

   Therefore  there is one line of IMPROVING forms ensouled by the  pioneers
of the evolving Life, and another line of degerating forms,  outgrown by the
pioneers,  but ensouled by the stragglers,  as long as there are any  strag-
glers of that particular life wave to which those forms originally belonged.

   When  there are no more stragglers, the species gradually dies out.   The
Forms  have  been crystallized beyond the possibility of being  improved  by
tenants of increasing inability.  They therefore return to the mineral king-
dom, fossilize and are added to the different strata of the Earth's crust.

   The assertion of material science that man has ascended through the  dif-
ferent  kingdoms of plant and animal which exist about us now to  anthropoid
and  thence to man,  is not quite correct.   Man has never  inhabited  forms
identical with those of our present-day animals, nor the present-day anthro-
poid  species;  but he has inhabited forms which were similar to but  HIGHER
than those of the present anthropoids.

   The  scientist sees that there is an anatomical likeness between man  and
the monkey,  and as the evolutionary impulse always makes from  improvement,
he concludes that man must have descended from the monkey,  but he is always

[PAGE 2209]

baffled in his efforts to find the "missing link" connecting the two.

   From the point where the pioneers of our life wave  (The Aryan Races) oc-
cupied ape-like forms, they have PROGRESSED to their present stage of devel-
opment, while the Forms (which were the "missing link") have DEGENERATED and
are now ensouled by the last stragglers of the Saturn Period.

   The  lower monkeys,  instead of being the progenitors of the higher  spe-
cies,  are stragglers occupying the most degenerated specimens of  what  was
once the human form.   Instead of man having ascended from the  anthropoids,
the  reverse is true--the anthropoids have degenerated from  man.   Material
science,  dealing only with Form, has thus misled itself and drawn erroneous
conclusions in this matter.

   The same relative conditions are to be found in the animal kingdom.   The
pioneers  of the life wave which entered evolution in the Sun  pioneers  are
our present-day mammals.   The different grades correspond to the steps once
taken by man, but THE FORMS ARE ALL DEGENERATING UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF THE
STRAGGLERS.   Similarly,  the pioneers of the life wave which entered evolu-
tion in the Moon pioneers are found among the fruit tress,  while the strag-
glers of that life wave ensoul all other plant forms.

   Each life wave,  however remains definitely confined within its own  bor-
ders.  The anthropoids may overtake us and become human beings, but no other
animals will reach our particular point of development.   They will reach  a
similar stage,  but under different conditions, in the Jupiter Period.   The
present  plants  will  be the humanity of the Venus Period,  under  a  still
greater difference of condition, and our minerals will reach the human stage
under the conditions of the Vulcan Period.

[PAGE 2210]

    It  will be noted that the modern evolutionary theory particularly  that
of Haeckel,  would, if it were completely reversed, be in almost perfect ac-
cord with the knowledge of occult science.

   The monkey has degenerated from the man.

   The polyps are the last degeneration left behind by the mammals.

   The mosses are the lowest degenerations of the plant kingdom.

   The mineral kingdom is the final goal of the forms of all the kingdoms
when they have reached the acme of degeneration.

   A  corroboration of this is found in coal,  which was once  vegetable  or
plant forms; also in petrified wood and fossilized remains of various animal
forms.   Common stone or rock,  which no scientist would admit had it origin
in  another  kingdom,  is to the occult investigator  as  truly  mineralized
plants as coal itself.   The mineralogist will learnedly explain that it  is
composed of hornblende, feldspar, and mica, but the trained clairvoyant, who
can  trace it back in the memory of Nature,  through millions of years,  can
supplement  that  statement  by  adding:   Yes,  and  that  which  you  call
hornblende and feldspar are the leaves and stems of prehistoric flowers, and
the mica is all that remains of their petals.

   The  occult teaching of evolution is also corroborated by the science  of
embryology  in the ante-natal recapitulation of all past stages of  develop-
ment.   The difference between the ovum of a human being and of some of  the
higher mammals, and even of the higher developments in the plant kingdom, is
indistinguishable,  even under the microscope.  Experts are unable  to  tell
which  is  animal  and  which  is  human.  Even after several of the initial

[PAGE 2211]

ante-natal stages have been passed through the experts cannot  differentiate
between and animal and human embryo.

   But if the animal ovum is studied through the entire period of gestation,
it  will  be observed that it passes through the mineral  and  plant  stages
only,  and is born when it reaches the animal stage.   This is  because  the
Life ensouling such an ovum passed through its mineral evolution in the  Sun
Period,  its plant life in the Moon Period, and is now forced to stop at the
animal stage in the Earth Period.

   On the other hand, the Life which uses the human ovum had its mineral ex-
istence in the Saturn Period,  its plant existence in the Sun Period  passed
the animal stage in the Moon Period, has still some scope for Epigenesis af-
ter it has reached the animal stage and therefore goes on to the  human--nor
does it stop there.   The father and mother give the substance of their bod-
ies for the building of the child's body,  but,  particularly in the  higher
races.   Epigenesis makes it possible to add something which makes the child
different from the parents.

   Where  Epigenesis  is  inactive in the  individual,  family,  nation,  or
Race--there evolution ceases and degeneration commences.

                               A LIVING SOUL?:

   Thus the two Creation stories harmonize very well.

   One deals with Form, which was built up through mineral, plant and animal
and reached the human LAST.

   The other tells us that Life which now ensouls human forms was manifested
anterior to the Life which ensouls the forms of the other kingdoms.

   One of these accounts of Creation would not have been sufficient.   There
are important particulars hidden  behind the narrative of man's creation, in

[PAGE 2212]

the second chapter;  the verse reads:  "The Jehovah formed man from the dust
of the Earth,  and blew into his nostrils the breath (NEPHESH),  and man be-
come a breathing creature (NEPHESH CHAYIM)."

   In  other places in the King James version NEPHESH is translated  "life,"
but  in this particular instance (Gen. ii.7) it is rendered  "living  soul,"
thus  conveying the idea that there was a distinction made between the  life
that  ensouled  the human form and that which ensouled  inferior  creations.
There is no authority whatever for this difference in translation,  which is
purely  arbitrary.   The life-breath (NEPHESH) is the same  man  and  beast.
This  can be shown even to those who stand firmly upon the Bible as  author-
ity, for even the King James version distinctly states (Eccles.  III:19,20):
".  .  .as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea,  they all have one breath
(NEPHESH); so that a man hath no pre-eminence above a beast:. . .All go unto
one place."

   The animals are but our "younger brothers,"  and though they are not  now
so finely organized,  they will eventually reach a state as high as our own,
and we shall then have ascended higher.

  It  is contended that MAN received his soul in the way described  in  this
seventh verse of the second chapter of Genesis,  and that he could have  re-
ceived  it in no other way,  it is pertinent to ask where and how WOMAN  re-
ceived her soul?

   The meaning of the chapter,  and of the inspiration of the breath of life
by Jehovah,  is very plain and clear when we use the occult key,  and it has
the further and immense advantage of being logical.

   The  fact  that  the  Regent  of  the Moon (Jehovah), with His Angels and

[PAGE 2213]

Archangels, were the principals in this action fixes the time when this cre-
ation  occurred.   It  was between the early and the  middle  parts  of  the
Lemurian  Epoch,  and must have been after the Moon was thrown out from  the
Earth,  because Jehovah had nothing to do with the generation of bodies  be-
fore  the Moon was thrown off.   The forms were then more  ethereal.   There
were no dense and concrete bodies.   It is possible to make such bodies only
by means of the hardening and crystallizing Moon-forces,   It must have been
in  the  first half of the Lemurian Epoch,  because the  separation  of  the
sexes, which is recorded later, took place in the middle of that epoch.

   At that time man-in-the-making had not yet commenced to breathe by  means
of lungs.   He had the gill-like apparatus still present in the human embryo
while passing through the stage of ante-natal life corresponding to that  E-
poch.  He had no warm,  red blood, for at that stage there was no individual
spirit, the entire form was soft and pliable and the skeleton soft like car-
tilage.   Before the later date, when it became necessary to separate human-
ity into sexes, the skeleton had grown firm and solid.

   The work done by Jehovah was to build dense, hard bone substance into the
soft  bodies  already existing.   Previous to this time,  i.e.,  during  the
Polarian and Hyperborean Epochs, neither animal nor man had bones.

                                 ADAM'S RIB:

   The grotesque and impossible manner in which the separation of the  sexes
is  said to have been accomplished (as described in the common  versions  of
the Bible and,  in this particular case, in the Masoretic text also) is  an-
other example of what may be dome by changing vowels in the old Hebrew text.

[PAGE 2214]

Read in one way,  the work is "rib"; but in another,  which has at least  as
good  claim  to  consideration,  with  the  additional  advantage  of  being
common-sense,  it reads "side."   If we interpret this to mean that man  was
male-female and that Jehovah caused one side or sex in each being to  remain
latent, we shall not be doing violence to our reason, as we would be accept-
ing the "rib" story.

   When  this alternation is made,  the occult teaching as previously  given
harmonizes with that of the Bible and both agree with the teaching of modern
science that man was bi-sexual at one time,  before he developed one sex  at
the expense of the other.  In corroboration of this,  it is pointed out that
the  foetus  is bi-sexual up to a certain point;  there-after one  sex  pre-
dominates,  while the other remains in abeyance,  so that each person  still
has  the opposite sex organs in a rudimentary form and therefore  is  really
bi-sexual, as was primitive man.

   Apparently the Bible narrator does not wish to give,  in this second cre-
ation account,  an accurate picture of the whole of evolution, but rather to
particularize a little more what was said in the first chapter.  He tells us
that man did not always breathe as he does now;  that there was a time  when
he  was not separated into sexes;  and that it was Jehovah Who effected  the
change,  thus fixing the time of the occurrence.  As we proceed,  it will be
found that much further information is given.

                               GUARDIAN ANGELS:

   During the earlier Epochs and Periods the great creative Hierarchies  had
worked upon humanity as it was uncommonly evolving.  There had been only ONE

[PAGE 2215]

COMMON CONSCIOUSNESS among ALL human beings;  one group-spirit for all  man-
kind, as it were.

   In the Lemurian Epoch a new step was taken.   Bodies had been  definitely
formed, but they must have warm, red blood before they could be ensouled and
become the abode of indwelling spirits.

   In  nature no process is sudden.   We would get a wrong idea were  we  to
imagine  that air blown into the nostrils could put a soul into an image  of
clay and galvanize it into life as a sentient, thinking being.

   The  individual spirit was very weak and impotent and quite unfitted  for
the task of guiding its dense vehicle.   In that respect it is not yet  very
strong.  To any qualified observer, it is evident that the desire body rules
the personality more than does the spirit, even at our present stage of  ad-
vancement.   But  in  the  middle of the  Lemurian  Epoch,  when  the  lower
personality--the  threefold body---was to be endowed with the light  of  the
Ego,  the latter, if left to itself, would have been absolutely powerless to
guide its instrument.

   Therefore  it is necessary for someone much more highly evolved  to  help
the  individual spirit and gradually prepare the way for its complete  union
with its instruments.  It was analogous to a new nation,  over which,  until
it becomes capable of forming a stable government for itself,  some stronger
power  establishes a protectorate,  guarding it alike from external  dangers
and internal indiscretions.  Such a protectorate was exercised over evolving
humanity  by  the  Race-spirit,  and is exercised over the  animals  by  the
group-spirit, in a somewhat different way.

   Jehovah is the Most High.  He is Race-God, as one might express it,  hav-
ing dominion over all Form.  He  is the Chief Ruler and the highest Power in

[PAGE 2216]

maintaining  the  form and exercising an orderly government  over  it.   The
Archangels are the Race-spirits,  each having dominion over a certain  group
of people.   They also have dominion over animals, while the Angels have do-
minion over the plants.

   The Archangels have dominion over races or groups of people and also over
the  animals,  for these two kingdoms have desire bodies and the  Archangels
are expert architects of desire matter,  because in the Sun Period the dens-
est globe was composed of that materials,  and the humanity of that  period,
who  are now Archangels,  learned to build their densest vehicles of  desire
staff  as we are now learning to build our bodies of the  chemical  elements
whereof  our Earth-globe is composed.   Thus it will be  readily  understood
that  the  Archangels  are peculiarly qualified to  help  later  life  waves
through the stage where they learn to build and control a desire body.

   For analogous reasons the Angels work in the vital bodies of man,  animal
and plant.   Their densest bodies are composed of other and so was the Globe
D in the Moon Period when they were human.

   Jehovah and His Archangels,  therefore,  hold a similar relation to Races
that  the group-spirit does to animals.  When individual members of  a  Race
have evolved entire self-control and government,  they are emancipated  from
the influence of the Race-spirit and kindred beings.

   As we have seen, the point of vantage of the group-spirit,  as of any Ego
in  the dense body,  is in the blood.   The Masoretic text shows  that  this
knowledge was possessed by the writer of Leviticus.  In the fourteenth verse
of the seventeenth chapter the Jews are prohibited from eating blood because
". . .the  soul  of  ALL  flesh  is in the blood. . . ;" and in the eleventh

[PAGE 2217]

verse of the same chapter we find these words:   ".  .  .for the soul of the
flesh  is in the blood.  .  .the blood itself mediates for the soul,"  which
shows that this applies to both man and beast, for the word here used in the
Hebrew  is NESHAMAH and means "soul"--not "life,"  as it is rendered in  the
King James version.

   The  Ego works directly through the blood.   The Race-spirit  guides  the
Races by working in the blood, as the group-spirit guides the animals of its
species  through the blood.   So also does the Ego control its own  vehicle,
but with a difference.

   The Ego operates by means of the HEAT of the blood, while the Race (i.e.,
tribal, or family) spirit works by means of the AIR, as it is drawn into the
lungs.   That is why Jehovah,  or His messengers,  "breathed into man's nos-
trils,"  thereby securing admission for the Race-spirit,  Community-spirits,
etc.

   The  different  classes of Race-spirits guided their peoples  to  various
climates  and different parts of the Earth.   To the trained clairvoyant,  a
tribal-spirit appears as a cloud enveloping and permeating the atmosphere of
the  whole  country inhabited by the people under its  dominion.   Thus  are
produced  the different peoples and nations.  Paul spoke of "The  Prince  of
the Power of the Air"; or "principalities and powers," etc., showing that he
knew of the Race-spirits,  but now not even an attempt is made to understand
what they mean,  although their influence is strongly felt.   Patriotism  is
one of the sentiments emanating from and fostered by them.   It has not  now
so much power over people as formerly.  There are some who are being  liber-
ated  from the Race-spirit and can say with Thomas Paine,  "The world is  my
country."  There  are  those  who  can leave father and mother and look upon

[PAGE 2218]

all  men as brothers.   They are being liberated from the Family-spirit,  or
spirit of the Clan which is different from the race-spirit,  an etheric  en-
tity.   Others again, who are deep in the toil of the Race or Family spirit,
will  suffer the most dreadful depression if they leave home or country  and
breathe the air of another Race of Family spirit.

   At  the time of the Race-spirit entered human bodies  the  individualized
Ego commenced to get some slight control of its vehicles.  Each human entity
became  more  and more conscious of being separate and distinct  from  other
men,  yet for ages he did not think of himself PRIMARILY as  an  individual,
but as belonging to a tribe or family.  The affix "son"  to many present day
surnames  is  a remnant of this feeling.  A man was not  simply  "John,"  or
"James."   He was John RobertSON, or James WilliamSON.   In some countries a
woman  was not "Mary,"  or "Martha."   She was Mary Marthasdaughter,  Martha
Marys daughter.   The custom was continued in some European countries  until
within a few generations of the present time;  the "son"  affix remains with
us yet and the family name is still much honored.

   Among  the Jews,  even down to the time of Christ,  the  Race-spirit  was
stronger than the individual spirit.   Every Jew thought of himself FIRST as
belonging to a certain tribe or family.  His proudest boast was that he  was
of the "Seed of Abraham."  All this was the work of the Race-spirit.

   Previous to the advent of Jehovah,  when the Earth was yet a part of  the
Sun, there was one common group-spirit, composed of all the creative Hierar-
chies,  which controlled the entire human family,  but it was intended  that
each  body  should  be  the  temple  and pliable instrument of an indwelling

[PAGE 2219]

spirit and that meant an infinite division of rulership.

   Jehovah come with His Angel and Archangels and made the first great divi-
sion  into  Races,   giving  to  each  group  the  guiding  influence  of  a
Race-spirit--an Archangel.   For each Ego He appointed one of the Angels  to
act  as guardian until the individual spirit had grown strong enough to  be-
come emancipated from all outside influence.

                          MIXING BLOOD IN MARRIAGE:

   Christ came to prepare the way for the emancipation of humanity from  the
guidance of differentiating Race- and Family-spirit,  and to unite the whole
human family in One Universal Brotherhood.

   He taught that "Abraham's seed"  referred to the BODIES only,  and called
their  attention  to  the  fact that before  Abraham  lived  (the)  "I"--the
Ego--was in existence.  The threefold individual spirit had its being before
all Tribes and Races and it will remain when they have passed away and  even
the memory of them is no more.

   The threefold spirit in man,  the Ego, is the God within,  whom the  per-
sonal,  bodily man must learn to follow.  Therefore did Christ say that,  to
be His disciple,  a man must forsake all he had.  His teaching points to the
emancipation  of  the God within.   He calls upon man to exercise  his  pre-
rogative  as an individual and rise above family,  tribe,  and nation.   Not
that he is to disregard kin and country.  He must fulfill all duties, but he
is  to cease identifying himself with part and must recognize an equal  kin-
ship with ALL the world.  That is the ideal given to mankind by the Christ.

   Under the rule of the Race-spirit,  the nation,  tribe or family was con-
sidered first--the individual last.  The family must be kept intact.  If any

[PAGE 2220]

man dies without leaving offspring to perpetuate his name,  his brother must
"carry seed" to the widow, that there might be no dying out (Due. XXV:5-10).
Marrying  out of the family was regarded with horror in the earliest  times.
A member of one tribe could not become connected with another without losing
caste in his own.   It was not an easy matter to become a member of  another
family.   Not only among the Jews and other early nations was the  integrity
of the family insisted upon,  but also in more modern times.   As previously
mentioned,  the Scots, even in comparatively recent times, clung tenaciously
to  their  Clan,  and the old Norse Vikings would take  no  one  into  their
families without first "mixing blood" with him, for the spiritual effects of
haemolysis, which are unknown to material science, were known of old.

   All these customs resulted from the working of Race- and tribal-spirit in
the  common blood.   To admit as a member one in whom that common blood  did
not flow would have caused "confusion of caste."  The closer the inbreeding,
the  greater the power of the Race-spirit,  and the stronger the  ties  that
bound the individual to the tribe,  because the vital force of the man is in
his  blood.   Memory is intimately connected with the blood,  which  is  the
highest expression of the vital body.

   The brain and the nervous system are the highest expression of the desire
body.    They  call  up  pictures  of  the  outside  world,  but  in  mental
image-making,  i.e., imagination, the blood brings the material for the pic-
tures; therefore when the thought is active the blood flows to the head.

   When the same unmixed strain of blood flows in the veins of a family  for
generations,   the   same   mental   pictures   made  by  great-grandfather,

[PAGE 2221]

grandfather and father are reproduced in the son by the family-spirit  which
lived in the haemoglobin of the blood.   He sees himself as the continuation
of a long line of ancestors who LIVE IN HIM.   He sees all the events of the
past  lives of the family as though he had been present,  therefore he  does
not realize himself as an Ego.   He is not simply "David,:  but "the SON  of
Abraham"; not "Joseph," but "the SON of David."

   By  means of this common blood men are said to have LIVED for  many  gen-
erations,  because  through the blood their descendants had  access  to  the
memory of nature,  in which the records of the lives of their ancestors were
preserved.   That is why, in the fifth chapter of Genesis, it is stated that
the patriarchs lived for centuries.   Adam,  Methuselah and the other patri-
archs  did not PERSONALLY attain to such great age,  but they lived  in  the
consciousness of their descendants,  who saw the lives of their ancestors as
if THEY had lived them.  After the expiration of the period stated,  the de-
scendants  did  not think of themselves as Adam or  Methuselah.   Memory  of
those ancestors faded and so it is said they died.

   The "second sight"  of the Scotch Highlanders shows that be means of  en-
dogamy  the consciousness of the inner World is retained.   They have  prac-
ticed marrying in the Clan until recent times;  also in Gipsies,  who always
marry  in the tribe.   The smaller the tribe and the closer the  inbreeding,
the more pronounced is the "sight."

   The  earlier Races would not have dared to disobey the injunction  issued
by the tribal God,  not to marry outside of the tribe,  nor had they any in-
clination to do so, for they had no mind of their own.

   The Original Semites were the first to evolve Will, and they at once mar-
ried  the  daughters of the men of other tribes, frustrating temporarily the

[PAGE 2222]

design of their Race-spirit and being promptly ejected as evil-doers who had
"gone  a-whoring after strange gods," thereby rendering themselves unfit  to
give  the  "seed"  for  the seven Races of our  present  Aryan  Epoch.   The
Original  Semites  were,  for  the  time  being,  the  last  Race  that  the
Race-spirit cared to keep separate.

   Later, man was given free will.  The time had come when he was to be pre-
pared for individualization.  The former "common" consciousness,  the invol-
untary clairvoyance or second-sight which constantly held before a tribesman
the  pictures  of his ancestor's lives and caused him to feel  most  closely
identified  with  the tribe or family,  was to be replaced for a time  by  a
strictly individual consciousness confined to the material world,  so as  to
break  up the nations into individuals, that the Brotherhood of Man  regard-
less of exterior circumstances may become a fact.  This is on the same prin-
ciple  that if we have a number of buildings and wish to make them into  one
large  structure,  it is necessary to break them up  into  separate  bricks.
Only then can the large building be constructed.

   In order to accomplish this separation of nations into individuals,  laws
were  given which prohibited endogamy or marriage in the family  and  hence-
forth  incestuous  marriages  gradually came to  be  regarded  with  horror.
Strange  blood has thus been introduced into all the families of  the  Earth
and  it has gradually wiped out the involuntary clairvoyance which  promoted
the clannish feeling and segregated humanity into groups.   Altruism is  su-
perseding  patriotism,  and loyalty to the family is disappearing in  conse-
quence of the mixture of blood.

   Science   has   lately   discovered   that   haemolysis  results from the

[PAGE 2223]

inoculation  of the blood of one individual into the veins of another  of  a
different  species,  causing the death of the lower of the  two.   Thus  any
animal inoculated with the blood of a man dies.   The blood of a dog  trans-
fused into the veins of a bird kills the bird,  but it will not hurt the dog
to have the bird's blood inoculated into its veins.   Science merely  states
the fact,  the occult scientist gives the reason.   The blood is the vantage
ground of the spirit,  as shown elsewhere.   The Ego in man works in its own
vehicles by means of the HEAT of the blood;  the race,  family or  community
spirit gains entrance to the blood by means of the AIR we inspire.   In  the
animals are also both the separate spirit of the animal and the group-spirit
of the species to which it belongs,  but the spirit of the animal is not in-
dividualized  and does not work self-consciously with its vehicles  as  does
the Ego, hence it is altogether dominated by the group-spirit which works in
the blood.

   When  the  blood of a higher animal is inoculated into the veins  of  one
from  a lower species,  the spirit in the blood of the higher animal  is  of
course stronger than the spirit of the less evolved; hence when it endeavors
to assert itself it kills the imprisoning  form and liberates itself.  When,
on the other hand, the blood of a lower species is inoculated into the veins
of a higher animal, the higher spirit is capable of ousting the less evolved
spirit in the strange blood and assimilating the blood to its own  purposes,
therefore no visible catastrophe ensues.

   The  group-spirit always aims to preserve the integrity of its domain  in
the blood of the species under its charge.  Like the human Race-God,  it re-
sents the marriage of its subjects into other species and visits the sins of
the  fathers  upon the children as we see in the case of hybrids.   Where  a
horse and a donkey produce a mule for instance, the mixture of strange blood

[PAGE 2224]

destroys the propagative faculty so as not to perpetuate the hybrid which is
an abomination from the standpoint of the group-spirit,  for the mule is not
so definitely under the dominion of the group-spirit of the horses or of the
group-spirit of the donkeys as the pure breed, yet it is not so far away  as
to be entirely exempt from their influence.  If two mules could mate,  their
offspring  would  be  still  less under the  dominion  of  either  of  these
group-spirits,  and  so a new species WITHOUT A GROUP-SPIRIT  would  result.
That  would  be  anomaly in nature,  an  impossibility  until  the  separate
animal-spirits    should   have   become   sufficiently   evolved   to    be
SELF-SUFFICIENT.  Such a species, could it be produced, would be without the
guiding  instinct,  so-called,  which is in reality the  promptings  of  the
group-spirit;  they would be in an analogous position to a litter of kittens
removed  from  the mother's womb prior to birth.   They could  not  possibly
shift for themselves, so they would die.

   Therefore,  as  it  is the group-spirit of the  animals  that  sends  the
separate  spirits of the animals into embodiment,  it simply  withholds  the
fertilizing  seed-atom when animals of widely differing species  are  mated.
It  permits  one  of its charges to take advantage  of  an  opportunity  for
re-embodiment where two animals of nearly the same nature are mated, but re-
fuses to let the hybrids perpetuate themselves.   Thus we see that the infu-
sion  of strange blood weakens the hold of the group-spirit and that  there-
fore it either destroys the FORM or the propagative FACULTY where it has the
power.

   The human spirit is individualized, an Ego, it is evolving free will  and
responsibility.   It  is drawn to birth by the irresistible  law  of  Conse-
quence,  so  that it is beyond the power of the race,  community  or  family
spirit to keep it from returning at the present stage of  human development,

[PAGE 2225]

and by the admixture of strange blood,  by intermarriage of the  individuals
of different tribes or nations, the leaders of man are gradually helping him
to oust the family,  tribal or national spirit from the blood,  but with  it
has necessarily gone the involuntary clairvoyance which was due to its work-
ing in the blood,  whereby it fostered the family traditions in its charges,
and  so we see that ALSO IN THE CASE OF MAN A FACULTY WAS DESTROYED  BY  THE
MIXTURE OF BLOOD.   That loss was a gain,  however,  for it has concentrated
man's energy on the material world and he is better able to master its  les-
sons that if he were still distracted by the visions of the higher realms.

   As  man  becomes emancipated he gradually ceases to think of  himself  as
"Abraham's Seed," as a "Clan Stewart Man," as a "Brahmin" or a "Levite":  he
is learning to think more of himself as an individual an "I".   The more  he
cultivates  that "Self,"  the more he frees himself from the family and  na-
tional spirit in the blood,  the more he becomes self-sufficient citizen  of
the world.

   There is much foolish,  even dangerous, talk of giving up the Self to the
Not-Self;  only when we have cultivated a "Self," can we sacrifice ourselves
and give up the SELF to the WHOLE.  So long as we can only love our own fam-
ily or nation we are incapable of loving others.  We are bound by the tie of
kin and country.  When we have burst the tie of blood and ASSERTED OURSELVES
and  become  self-sufficient may we become unselfish  helpers  of  humanity.
When a man has reached that stage he will find that,  instead of having lost
his own family,  he has gained all the families in the world,  for they will
have  become his sisters and brothers,  his fathers and mothers to care  for
and help.

   Then he will regain the viewpoint of the Spiritual World which he lost by

[PAGE 2226]

the mixing of blood, but it will be a higher faculty an intelligent,  volun-
tary clairvoyance where he can see what HE wills and not merely the negative
faculty  imprinted in his blood by the family spirit which bound him to  the
family to the exclusion of all other families.   His viewpoint will be  uni-
versal, to be used for universal good.

   For  aforementioned reasons,  intertribal, and later international,  mar-
riages  came gradually to be regarded as desirable and preferable  to  close
intermarriages.

   As man progressed through these stages, and gradually lost touch with the
inner world,  he sorrowed over the loss and longer for a return of the  "in-
ner"  vision.   But by degrees he forgot,  and the material world  gradually
loomed up before his mind as the only reality,  until at last he has come to
scout  the idea that such inner Worlds exist and to regard a belief in  them
as foolish superstition.

   The four causes contributing to this condition were:

   (1)  The clearing of the foggy atmosphere of the Atlantean continent.

   (2)  The indrawing of the vital body,  so that a point at the root of the
nose corresponds to a similar point in the vital body.

   (3)  The elimination of inbreeding and the substitution therefore of mar-
riages outside the family and tribe.

   (4)  The use of intoxicants.

   The Race-spirits still exist in and work with man,  but the more advanced
nation, the more freedom is given the individual.  In countries where people
are most fettered,  the Race-spirit is strongest.  The more in harmony a man
is with the law of Love,  and the higher his ideals,  the more he frees him-
self from the spirit of the Races.   Patriotism,  while good in itself, is a

[PAGE 2227]

tie of the Race-spirit.   The ideal of Universal Brotherhood,  which identi-
fies  itself with neither country nor race, is the only path which leads  to
emancipation.

   Christ  came  to reunite the separated races in bonds of peace  and  good
will, wherein all will willingly and CONSCIOUSLY follow the law of Love.

    The  present Christianity is not even a shadow of the true  religion  of
Christ.  That will remain in abeyance until all race feeling shall have been
overcome.   In the Sixth Epoch there will be but one Universal  Brotherhood,
under the Leadership of the RETURNED Christ, but the day and the hour no man
knows, for it is not fixed, but depends upon how soon a sufficient number of
people  shall have commenced to live the life of Fellowship and Love,  which
is to be the hall-mark of the new dispensation.

                               THE FALL OF MAN:

   In connection with the analysis of Genesis, a few more words must be said
about "The Fall,"  which is the backbone and sinew of popular  Christianity.
Had  there been no "Fall,"  there would have been no need for the  "plan  of
salvation."

   When,  in the middle of the Lemurian Epoch,  the separation of the  sexes
occurred (in which work Jehovah and His Angels were active),  the Ego  began
to work slightly upon the dense body,  building organs within.   Man was not
at that time the wide-awake conscious being he is at present,  but by  means
of half the sex force, he was building a brain for the expression of thought
as previously described.   He was more awake in the Spiritual World than  in
the  physical;  hardly  saw his body and was not conscious  if  the  act  of
propagation.   The Bible statement that Jehovah put man to sleep when he was
to  bring  forth  is  correct.  There was no pain nor trouble connected with

[PAGE 2228]

childbirth;  nor  (because  of man's exceedingly dim  consciousness  of  his
physical surroundings) did he know anything of the loss of his dense body by
death, or of his installment in a new dense vehicle at birth.

   It  will be remembered that the Lucifers were a part of the  humanity  of
the Moon Period; they are the stragglers of the life wave of the Angels, too
far advanced to take a dense physical body, yet they needed an "inner" organ
for  the  acquisition of knowledge.   Moreover,  they could work  through  a
physical brain, which the Angels or Jehovah could not.

   These  spirits entered the spinal cord and brain and spoke to the  woman,
whose Imagination,  as explained elsewhere, had been aroused by the training
of  the  Lemurian Race.   As her consciousness was principally  internal,  a
picture-consciousness of them was received by her,  and she saw them as ser-
pents, for they had entered her brain by the serpentine spinal cord.

   The training of the woman included watching the perilous feats and fights
of the Men in developing Will, in which fights bodies were necessarily often
killed.   The dim consciousness of something unusual set the imagination  of
the woman to wondering why she saw these strange things.   She was conscious
of the spirits of those who had lost their bodies,  but her imperfect  sense
of the Physical World failed to reveal these friends whose dense bodies  had
been destroyed.

   The Lucifers solved the problem for her by "opening her eyes."   They re-
vealed to her her own body and that of the man and taught her how, together,
they might conquer death by creating new bodies.  Thus death could not touch
them for they, like Jehovah, could create at will.

[PAGE 2229]

   Lucifer opened the eyes of woman,   She sought the help of man and opened
his eyes.  Thus, in a real though dim way, they first "knew" or became aware
of  one another and also of the Physical World.   They became  conscious  of
death  and pain and by this knowledge they learned to differentiate  between
the inner man and the outer garment he wears and renews each time it is nec-
essary to take his next step in evolution.  They ceased to be automatons and
became free thinking beings at the cost of freedom from pain,  sickness  and
death.

   That  the  interpretation of the eating of the fruit as a symbol  of  the
generative act is not a far-fetched idea, is shown by the declaration of Je-
hovah  (which is not a curse at all,  but simply a statement of  the  conse-
quences  that  would follow the act) that they will die and that  the  woman
will bear her children in pain and suffering.  He knew that, as man's atten-
tion had now been called to his physical garment,  he would become aware  of
its loss by death.   He also knew that man had not yet wisdom to bridle  his
passion  and  regulate sexual intercourse by the positions of  the  planets,
therefore pain in childbirth must follow his ignorant abuse of the function.

   It  has always been a sore puzzle to Bible commentators  what  connection
there could possibly be between the eating of fruit and the bearing of chil-
dren, but if we understand that the eating of the fruit is symbolical of the
generative act whereby man becomes "like God"  inasmuch as he KNOWS his kind
and is thus able to generate new beings, the solution is easy.

   In  the latter part of the Lemurian Epoch when man arrogated  to  himself
the prerogative of performing the generative act when he pleased, it was his
then-powerful  will  that  enable  him  to do so.  By "eating of the tree of

[PAGE 2230]

knowledge" at any and all times he was able to create a new body whenever he
lost an old vehicle.

   We  usually  think  of death as something to be dreaded.   Had  man  also
"eaten of the tree of life," had he learned the secret of how to perpetually
vitalize his body,  there would have been a worse condition.   We know  that
our bodies are not perfect today and in those ancient days they were exceed-
ingly primitive.  Therefore the anxiety of the creative Hierarchies lest man
"eat  of  the tree of life also," and become capable of renewing  his  vital
body,  was well founded.  Had he done so he would have been immortal indeed,
but  would never have been able to progress.   The evolution of the Ego  de-
pends  upon its vehicles and if it could not get new and improving  ones  by
death and birth,  there would be stagnation.  It is an occult maxim that the
oftener  we die the better we are able to live,  for every birth gives us  a
new chance.

   We have seen that brain-knowledge, with its concomitant selfishness,  was
brought  by man at the cost of the power to create from himself  alone.   He
bought his free will at the cost of pain and death;  but when man learns  to
use  his intellect for the good of humanity,  he will gain  spiritual  power
over  life and in addition,  will be guided by an innate knowledge  as  much
higher than the present brain-consciousness as that is higher than the  low-
est animal consciousness.

   The fall into generation was necessary to build the brain,  but that  is,
at best, only an indirect way of gaining knowledge and will be superseded by
direct touch with the Wisdom of Nature, which man, without any co-operation,
will then be able to use for the generation of new bodies.   The larnyx will
again speak "the lost Word," the "creative Fiat," which,  under the guidance
of great Teachers, was used in ancient Lemuria in the creation of plants and
animals.

[PAGE 2231]

   Man will then be a creator in very truth.   Not in the slow and  toilsome
manner of the present day, but by the use of the proper word or magical for-
mula, will he be able to create a body.

   All  that was manifested during the descending period of  involution  re-
mains  until the corresponding point on the ascending are of  evolution  has
been  reached.   The present generative organs will degenerate and  atrophy.
The  female  organ was the first to come into existence as a  separate  unit
and,  according to the law that "the first shall be last,"  will be the last
to atrophy.  The male organ was differentiated last and is even now commenc-
ing to divide itself from the body.  Diagram 13 will make this clear.

Involution brings the spirit              Evolution lifts the spirit out of
down into matter by crystal-              matter by spiritualizing the bodies
lizing it into bodies.                    into soul.

                Epigenesis, the original creative activity
                of the spirit, is the lever and the Mind
                is the fulcrum upon which Involution turns
                to Evolution.
