Evolution and Devolution

Presently, many philosophical doctrines based on the dogma of evolution are being taught in the eastern as well as in the western parts of the world.

Evolution and devolution are mechanical forces that are simultaneously processed in all of nature. Gnostics do not deny the reality of these two forces; they explain them.

Therefore, I, Samael Aun Weor, want to give precise data about the enigma of the human being, something that is necessary to know in order to have a better knowledge about the origin of the human being.

It is necessary to know the origin of the human being: where the human being comes from, the fundamental reason for its existence. It is necessary to investigate it deeply, in a more profound way, since only vague theories have been stated about the origin of the human being.

The present materialistic scientific bases of evolution are:

Indeed, the appearance of new species (as a result of the law of evolution) is merely a simple hypothesis, since it has never been verified. No one has ever witnessed the appearance of a new species.

When creating the theory of evolution, modern thought forgot about the destructive, devolving processes of nature. The reason lies in the much too limited field of intellectual vision of these times. Due to this, pompous theories are elaborated upon; all of them are very beautiful but all have an insufficient number of facts. Within these theories none of the processes are certainly and entirely known; these theories only observe part of the process of evolution. Erudites state that this process consists as a type of evolving change.

In this day and age, the human mind is already so degenerated that it has become incapable of even comprehending the inverse, degenerative process on a greater scale.

The minds of contemporary erudites are so trapped, bottled up within the dogma of evolution, that their minds only know how to think or function according to their bottled up condition. This is why they attribute unto the other phenomena (that is, devolution, destruction, decadence, and degeneration) the qualities of evolution, development, and progress.

The so-called European primitive races of the Stone Age (such as the Cro-magnon that lived in the caverns of the Earth) were formerly very beautiful, but the degenerative, descending cyclical impulse acted terribly upon those races of Atlantean origin. Finally, the Palaeolithic man left his position to his successor, disappearing almost entirely from the scene.

None of the truly primitive villages found by explorers have shown any sign of evolution; on the contrary, in all of the cases without exception the unmistakable signs of degeneration and devolution have been observed.

Alongside any evolving process there is a degenerative, devolving process. The law of evolution and its twin sister the law of devolution work in a synchronized and harmonious way within all of creation.

From the rigorously academic point of view the word evolution means development, construction, progression, improvement, advancement, edification, etc. By focusing on the purely orthodox grammatical term, we can clearly state that devolution means reverse progression, backward motion, destruction, degeneration, decadence, etc.

Obviously, the law of antitheses coexists within any natural process. It is urgent to emphasize this transcendental idea, because the contents of this concept related with the law of antitheses are absolutely unimpeachable, unanswerable, and irrefutable. For example: day and night, light and darkness, construction and destruction, growth and fall, birth and death, etc.

Therefore, the exclusion of either of those two aforementioned laws (evolution and devolution) would produce a radical paralysis of the natural mechanism; thus to refute any of those two ordinances means, in fact, to fall into barbarism.

There is evolution in the plant that germinates, develops, and grows. There is devolution in the plant that slowly grows old and falls, becoming a pile of dust.

There is evolution in all organisms that gestate, are born, and develop. There is devolution in all creatures that become senile and die.

There is evolution in any cosmic unity that arises from the chaos. There is devolution in every planet in a consummate state, destined to become a moon, a dead body. There is evolution within all ascending civilizations, and there is devolution in every descending culture.

It is obvious that these two aforementioned laws constitute the fundamental mechanical axis of nature. Unquestionably, without such basic laws the axis of the wheel of natural mechanisms would not be able to rotate. Life is processed in surges that rotate.

Many people believe that small monkeys, apes, orangutans, and gorillas are evolving creatures. Some of them suppose that the human being came from the ape, but this concept fails when we observe the customs of these species of animals. Put an ape inside of a laboratory and observe what happens.

The diverse families of apes are devolutions that descend from the intellectual humanoid. The humanoid does not come from the ape, the truth of this is the inverse: apes are degenerated humanoids.

On earth there lives a population of about four and a half billion people; obviously these people belong to the Aryan root race.⁠¹ Our continents are densely populated: Europe, America, Asia, Africa, Oceania (Australia and the Pacific Islands) are the five continents upon which this Aryan humanity lives.

If we ask, what is the origin of this Aryan humanity? Where did it come from? Do you think this Aryan humanity (which lives on these five continents) was originated on these five continents?

Human traces were found in the caves of Grimaldi. There has been an effort to reconstruct the history, or the pre-history, of the races of Grimaldi and Cro-magnon.

Skeletons of giants have been found in different places. In Brazil a figure or a human skeleton of about six or seven meters in height was found. Also skeletons of human beings that look just like gorillas, orangutans, or something of the sort, have been found, especially within the caves of Cro-magnon.

Based upon the above mentioned traces, ignoramuses have mistakenly deduced that the human race could have possibly originated from apes or monkeys.

Darwin’s theory was very celebrated in his era. It was through that theory that ignoramuses started to state that the human being came from apes. This (human-ape) mystery worries our humanity. Every so often someone tries to figure out if the human being came from the ape or if the ape came from the human being. Who came from whom? During some epochs this controversy calmed down; in others it re-emerged again.

One pseudo-scientist (a rather “spoiled child” type) had the idea that the human race descended from savages; this is what he thought, and of course, in the end, his theory did not resolve anything. Who came from whom?

I do not think that the current world population of four and a half billion people originated upon these five continents, because the world has changed its geographical aspects many times. Before the Earth had the geographical aspect that you currently observe on a map, its physiognomy was different. There are older maps; there are different maps that have been found in various parts of the world where the physiognomy of the planet Earth appears to be different. The Earth did not always have the same continents, the same physiognomy. In older times, it had a different aspect. What today are the poles used to be the equator, and what today is the equator at one time was the poles.

On those maps, the present continents did not exist, or they existed only partially (they emerged after, from within the oceans). A densely populated continent that was located in the Atlantic Ocean is shown on those maps.

Therefore, the physiognomy of the planet was different. I cannot for a minute believe that the human race originated on these present continents.

The human race that developed in ancient Atlantis was very different. Remnants of the Atlantean root race were found in the caves of Cro-magnon and Grimaldi (and other caves). The apes or apemen that were found were the degenerated descendants, the degenerated remnants, of the Atlantean root race.

I state that just as there is evolution and devolution in plants and animals, and just as there is evolution and devolution in human beings, etc., so too does evolution and devolution is within civilizations.

For example, when one speaks with some tribes located in the western or eastern hemisphere, one understands that in their past they once had grand civilizations. They have legends that they preserve in their memories that are related to their ancestors, very ancient civilizations that have already disappeared. They speak about their ancestors with a lot of respect. Even the primitive-looking cannibals have great traditions: they preserve traditions of immemorable times, of colossal cities, etc. Therefore, they are not “primitive,” they are just degenerated people (some very cruel, bloodthirsty and savage tribes are devolutions or descendants of ancient civilizations). Indeed, today it is very difficult to find truly primitive people, because the human race is constantly evolving and devolving.

I repeat: before these five continents existed, Atlantis existed.

In this day and age, we are fascinated with this modern civilization; it is a wonder to us. We wonder about the space machines that travel to the Moon, to Jupiter, or to Venus. Its atomic experiments surprise us, the physiological investigations, the study of living cells, etc. We are so fascinated with these experiments that, indeed, we believe that this is the most powerful civilization that has ever existed in the world. We have fallen into a kind of “geocentric system” similar to those of ancient times. In the Middle Ages, as you very well know, people used to believe that all the stars rotated around the Earth. Once again we have fallen into a kind of “geocentricism” since we believe that the history of the world has orbit around our much boasted civilization.

I think that a “modern geocentricism” is necessary, a new Newton who will be able to demonstrate that our much boasted about civilization is just one of the many civilizations that have existed here on the planet Earth.

The day will come when it will be possible to prove all of this.

There are systems that make it possible to verify the fact that prior to our civilization (which looks so bright) there was a more powerful civilization. Emphatically, I am referring to systems that study the Akashic Archives of nature, the memory of nature.

Experiments with carbon-14, for example, have demonstrated that the Moon is older than the Earth. We can also demonstrate it through systems that make it possible to read the memories of nature. The Akashic Archives are a reality; we do not deny that one day scientists will find them. We, the Gnostics, however, have methods that make possible the study of the Akashic Archives of nature.

Whosoever wants to study those Akashic Archives will have to extraordinarily develop the lotus of a thousand petals (Sahasrara chakra, which is related to the pineal gland) as well as the latent powers that exist within the pituitary gland (the lotus of two petals and ninety-six radiations). These two small glands are extraordinary. Once these glands are developed, they allow access to the ultra, to extrasensory perceptions, and also to the Akashic Archives of nature.

When one studies the Akashic Archives of nature, one can study them as if one is watching a “living movie.” The whole history of Earth and its root races are recorded in the Akashic Archives.

The sages who have studied the Akashic Archives know that Atlantis was real, that it was an enormous continent that spread from south to north. That gigantic continent was the scenario of the root race that existed before us. I am referring to the great Atlantean root race.

That root race was a race of giants. That is why ancient legends talk about Briareos, the one with one hundred arms, from a race of real cyclops. That root race had a powerful civilization, millions of times more powerful than ours.

Regarding the science of transplants, they were capable of transplanting organs of any type: the liver, the kidneys, the heart. Formidably, they even did brain transplants. In the field of nuclear physics, they attained a massive system of atomic illumination. All their cities used atomic illumination: their farms, their houses, were all illuminated by nuclear energy.

In the field of mechanics, I can state that their cars were not only amphibious, but they could also fly and were propelled by nuclear energy.

They extracted nuclear energy not only from uranium and radium but also from many other metals, and even from vegetables (which was also a cheaper method).

In aerodynamics, they had airplanes more powerful than those of present times: real flying ships propelled by nuclear energy.

They performed better journeys to the Moon, better than those presently performed by this present civilization. They had amazing atomic spaceships in which they traveled to the Moon. Atlantean astronauts descended onto the Moon and, moreover, they also visited the other planets of our solar system. Therefore, we do not even come close to them with our highly boasted about civilization and modern pseudo-wisdom.

In reference to anatomy and biology, they made discoveries that we do not even remotely fathom.

Katebet (Jezebel), “the one of the gloomy destinies,” was an Atlantean queen who lived youthfully for thousands of years. Unfortunately, and this is how the decadency of the Atlantean civilization began, she established dismal cannibalism. At that time, girls, young men, etc., were sacrificed to their gods. The young, sacrificed cadavers were transported to the laboratory where the needed glands were removed and used to replace the already wasted glands of the famous Jezebel (the one of “gloomy destinies”). However not only did they remove the physical glands from those cadavers, but also something else.

Today, the famous scientists are so degenerated that they do not know how to manage the principles of life. Yet, Atlantean sages knew how to use the vital principles of the endocrine glands. They did not ignore that the vibrations of the ether, or in other words the tattvas, enter into the endocrine glands (the small micro laboratories that produce hormones) and never exit.

Atlanteans knew how to use those tattvas or vibrations of the universal ether. Therefore when a gland was transplanted into Jezebel they also used the tattvas. This is why those scientists were absolutely superior to modern endocrinologists, who know nothing about this. Modern endocrinologists ignore the existence of the tattvas because they have never even tried to study Rama Prasad or Dr. Krumm-Heller.

There was a marvelous Atlantean university. I want to emphatically refer to the Akaldan Society, a true university of sages. They studied the law of the eternal Heptaparaparshinokh (the law of seven). They learned how to concentrate the solar rays and make them pass through different chambers. They knew how to transform the seven colors of the solar prism, how to get the “positive,” that is to say a “slide” of the solar prism rays.⁠²

It is one thing to see the seven colors of the prism and another to transform them into a positive form, to get the positive.

The modern scientists have studied the seven fundamental colors of the solar prism but they have not obtained a slide of those seven colors. The Atlantean sages knew how to get the real positive from the seven colors of the solar prism, and with that positive of the seven colors, they made real prodigies.

I remember the case of two Chinese sages that performed experiments (in the Atlantean style) with the seven colors of the solar prism. They extracted the positive from the seven colors. For example, they put opium in front of a red ray, and then they saw how the opium was transformed into other substances. They took a piece of bamboo and saturated it with a certain substance of a blue color (using the positive part of the solar prism). Afterwards, they saw how that piece of bamboo was intensely dyed with that blue color.

They played, for example, the sound of the notes do or re or mi in combination with a certain color. Afterwards, they saw how the note had transformed the color; the note transformed it into a completely different color.

So, the law of the Heptaparaparshinokh was profoundly studied in the Atlantean continent. The seven rays were used in their positive form and they made prodigies.

A sage took the milk of a nanny goat and mixed it with the resin of pine on a plate of marble; he later saw that after its decomposition the substance had formed seven different layers. This experiment induced the study of the law of the eternal Heptaparaparshinokh, the law of seven.

Within the field of science the Atlanteans attained extraordinary things. The scientists were also extrasensory clairvoyant savants. They could manufacture a robot that had the intelligent principle of a vegetable or of an animal (the elemental consciousness) and that principle functioned as the consciousness, soul, or Spirit within the robot. So, those robots were real living creatures who obeyed their masters and lords.

The Atlantean root race existed before this present root race. They had titanic cities, but unfortunately they degenerated. They made the atomic bomb and even deadlier weapons. Entire cities were devastated during their wars; many cities were converted into holocausts, atomic holocausts.

Therefore, if we believe that we are the wisest race in the entire universe, then we are absolutely wrong because before us existed a more powerful, a more civilized, a more cultured race. Indeed, in comparison to them we look like uncivilized and uncultured barbarians.

It is unfortunate that Atlantis degenerated. However, we have to understand that all races are born, grow, develop, and die!

Horrible things happened during the Atlantean decadency. Obviously Atlanteans degenerated by means of despicable vices, homosexuality, lesbianism, drugs, etc. They abused everything during the time of their degeneration. Obviously, this is why that race had to be destroyed.

Did that humanity have seven sub-races? Nobody can deny that, but in the end, they degenerated.

The sages of the Akaldan Society performed notable experiments. They knew about the mystery of the Sphinx. They were the first to use it by placing it in front of their university. Much later, when those sages of the Akaldan Society understood that the great catastrophe was approaching, they immigrated to a small continent called Grabonksi. Later, the new lands that emerged from the oceans were joined to Grabonksi, which thus formed the continent of Africa, which is now much bigger.

In the beginning, the members of the Akaldan Society went to the south of Africa. Afterwards, they immigrated to Cairona (today Cairo city). In the land of Nivea (the Nile or Egypt) they established their famous university. They placed the Sphinx in front of it.

The symbol of the Sphinx has the claws of a lion, which represents the element fire, the human head represents water, the hooves of the bull represent the element earth, and the wings represent the air. These are in relation with the four necessary virtues in order to achieve the realization of the Inner Self, the Being. One has to have the courage of the lion, the intelligence of the human being, the wings of the spirit, and the tenacity of the bull. Only in this way is it possible to achieve the realization of the Inner Self, the Being.

The Akaldan Society in Cairona (today Cairo city) established a temple of astrology. The stars were not studied with telescopes as they are today; instead, they were studied with the sixth sense.

When the pyramids are examined (especially the Great Pyramid), it is possible to see some kind of “tubes.” These tubes are canals that run from the bottom (from the profound underground sepulcher) all the way to the upper part of the pyramid (to the superior part). Much has been speculated about or stated about these “canals.” Indeed, these canals are telescopes. The observatory was not in the upper part of the pyramid, but underground in the bottom part of the sepulcher. Inside, at the bottom of the pyramid, they would put a receptacle with water. On a pre-determined day, when they knew that a star would be visible through that canal, the star was then reflected upon the water.

The Atlantean adepts of astrology observed the studied star on the water not only with their physical faculties but also with their psychic ones. Instead of observing the sky, they observed the water. Thus, there in the water they studied the stars with their sixth sense.

The brothers and sisters of the Akaldan Society, those great sages, were very good astrologers. When a child was born, a horoscope was immediately done. Not the present modern style of horoscopes, the present conventional type; these were very different horoscopes. The wise astrologers observed the stars directly with procedures that are unknown in this day and age. This is how they were capable of reading the horoscopes of the children. Obviously, they never failed in their prophecies and calculations.

The newly born children were immediately married. They already knew who each child’s spouse would be. We do not want to state that they had to live together from the beginning as husband and wife, because that would be absurd. We want to state that they knew who was going to be the spouse of the newborn child. Thus, at the right moment, that person was informed who was going to be his/her spouse. Once they reached adulthood, they were married.

Thus, with mathematical precision, under the direction of their astrologers, Atlantean citizens were oriented in their vocation or profession. Atlanteans knew what each citizen was born for, what each human being was useful for, because each human being is useful for something. What mattered is to know what a human being is useful for. So, those sages knew the skill of each creature that was born. The sages of the Akaldan Society never failed!

Before the earthquakes and tidal waves shook the continent, they migrated out of Atlantis. They moved in time, because they knew very well that the end was near.

Of course, when the revolution of the Earth’s axis came, the poles were transformed into the equator and the equator into the poles. Yet, the Atlantean astrologers had already been warned; they knew that the time was near for that continent to be submerged into the bottom of the dark ocean. It was then that the splendidly dressed crowds entered into their temples. One of those temples was Ra-Mu’s temple.

“In the crowd, people were dressed splendidly, wearing jewels. Their cries and moans filled the air. The people went to find a hiding place in the temples and in the castles. So the wise Mu, great priest of Ra-Mu, stood up and said, ‘Didn’t I predict all this to come?’

“Men and women, dressed with their precious clothes, covered with precious stones, begged, ‘Mu, save us!’

“Mu answered, ‘You will die with your slaves and your treasures. From your ashes new people will come. If these people forget that they should not amass material things not only for their own progress, but also for the generosity towards mankind, the same fate will surprise them.’”

Tradition states that the flames and the fog choked the words of Mu. Within a few months, the country and its inhabitants were smashed and swallowed in the abysms of the ocean.

The words of Ra-Mu were useless, since it is stated that the smoke and the flames suffocated his last words. Atlantis was submerged with all its millions of inhabitants. Today, entire palaces are at the bottom of the ocean and are the habitats of seals and fish. Entire cities are submerged at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. That gigantic continent, bigger than all America from Canada to Chile and Argentina, disappeared. It was a huge continent with a powerful civilization!

Therefore, dear reader, our present civilization is not anything special. The present civilization is not the first nor will it be the last. The present civilization is not the highest of all nor will it be the most extraordinary. Indeed, until now it has been the poorest, the most degenerated.

Can we presently conquer space? Are we capable of traveling in atomic spaceships to Mars, Mercury, or Venus? Is there even a project? Yes, there can exist beautiful projects, but are we presently doing anything?

Regarding transplants, is it already possible to transplant brains?

Are we already capable of creating robots with intelligent principles?

There is nothing of that; there is no reason to believe that we are the most powerful civilization. Indeed, this boastful modern civilization with its vulgar generation will also disappear, and from it not even a stone will remain upon another! Our modern civilization, that is to say, “Babylon the great, mother of all fornications and abominations of Earth” will be destroyed very soon.

We feel proud of our supersonic planes and we believe that we are the masters of creation, but soon nothing will remain, absolutely nothing of this perverse civilization of vipers!

So before the existence of this root race that lives on the five continents, the Atlantean root race existed. The descendants of the Atlanteans are the Mayans. The Mayans immigrated to Tibet, Egypt, and Central America. It seems incredible, but even now, the Mayan language is still spoken in Tibet; it is a sacred, ritual language in that country. Let us remember that the Naga and Mayan languages are very similar.

Jesus of Nazareth learned Mayan in Tibet. For example, the sentence pronounced by Jesus, “Eloi, Eloi, Lama, Sabachthani” that some state signifies, “Lord, Lord, how you have glorified me” and others state signifies, “Lord, Lord, why have you forsaken me?” is not, indeed, a Hebrew phrase. That is why when the Jews listened to Christ saying, “Eloi, Eloi, Lama, Sabachthani,” they said to themselves, “This man calls for Elias to come to save him...” But any small Indian of Yucatan, Mexico, and Guatemala can translate the sentence, “Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabachthani,” because it is the Mayan language and not Hebrew. That is why the Jews, I repeat, did not understand it. According to the Mayans and their translation this phrase means, “I hide myself in the pre-dawn of thine existence.” It is a Mayan ritual sentence.

The Turanians were also survivors of Atlantis; unfortunately, they were devoted to black magic. They also reached Tibet (as other descendants did, such as the selected Aryans), and immigrated in the direction of ancient Persia. The great law finally defeated them and they were all destroyed.

The red-skinned natives of North America are descendants of Atlantis. The ancestors of Mexico, the ancient Nahuatls-Zapotecs, Toltecs, etc., came originally from Atlantis. Almost all the tribes of America descended from Atlantis.

When we advance in these studies we understand that our present root race did not have its origin, as many believe, on the continents on which we live. We comprehend that we come from another root race, the Atlantean root race.

We do not come from apes (orangutans, monkeys) as Mr. Darwin and his partisans mistakenly believe. We descended, I repeat, from the Atlantean root race. This is clear.

However, the Atlanteans with all their powerful civilizations did not descend from the Atlantean continent. Atlantis, with all its powerful civilizations was magnificent, but the Atlanteans did not descend from Atlantis: they descended from Lemuria.

Lemuria was even older than the Atlantean continent. The Lemurians lived on a continent that existed in the Pacific Ocean. It was a continent that existed in that boisterous ocean. It was a colossal continent that covered almost all of the Pacific Ocean. It was bigger than Atlantis, bigger than Europe, bigger than Asia.

Obviously, the Lemurian civilization was powerful. The Lemurians were a root race of giants, of cyclops. The height of the Lemurians was about four to six meters. They were giants; it was a root race of giants.

Lemuria had a powerful civilization, titanic, formidable. In Lemuria, enormous cities were built, cyclopean, surrounded with stone walls and lava of volcanoes. Like now, many people also lived in the country.

In the beginning, in the pre-Lemurian era, we can state that a race of hermaphrodites existed, they were Lemurian hermaphrodites. The division into different sexes happened in the post-Lemurian era. Therefore, we can divide Lemuria in two halves or times: the first part was the existence of hermaphrodites and the second was the division of the race into two sexes.

Let us observe that Lemurian human root race. In the beginning, separate sexes did not exist, the race was hermaphroditic. At that time, each sacred Lemurian had both sexual organs (masculine and feminine) totally developed. Thus, reproduction was performed through the system of gemmation. The hermaphrodite detached from its ovaries (through menstruation at a specific time) an ovule or egg perfectly developed. It had the size of a chicken egg with its calcareous shell. When that egg was put in a special environment, it gestated a new creature within its interior. Finally, when that creature was out of the shell, he was then nourished with the breasts of the father-mother. That is how the Lemurians used to reproduce themselves in the beginning. The sexual act did not exist because each individual was complete. Reproduction was through the gemmation system.

However, it so happened that when the post-Lemurian era came, some children were clearly born with one sexual organ more accentuated than the other. Some children were born with the masculine organ more developed than the feminine, or vice versa. That phenonema became more and more common to the point that finally unisexual children, man and woman, were born. Yet, it did not happen from one day to the next, this process of division into different sexes took millions of years. That is why it is written that Eve was taken from one of the ribs of Adam.⁠³

Adam and Eve are a symbol to represent the division into different sexes.

When the complete division of sexes appeared it was necessary to have sexual cooperation in order to create. Menstruation remained in the feminine sex, but that ovule was unfertilized. It was then necessary to have the cooperation of the masculine sex to fertilize the ovule in order to reproduce the species.

The Creators, the Elohim, the Kumaras, used to congregate the people in order for them to reproduce during pre-determined times of the year. It was amazing how those races, those tribes, travelled from one point to another in order to go to the temples in which they would reproduce themselves.

The sexual act was never performed outside of the temple. The sexual act as a sexual sacrament was only performed within the temple. Intercourse was a sacrament of the temple. In the paved courtyards of the temple, the couples (man and woman) were sexually connected in order to procreate under the direction of the Kumaras.

The Lemurian humanity enjoyed spiritual faculties. They could perfectly perceive all of the wonders of nature and the cosmos. Their capacity of vision allowed them to see half of a holtapamnas (half of the tonalities of the universal color). We know very well that a holtapamnas has five and a half million tonalities of color.

Their hearing was sensible; they could listen to the symphonies of the universe. Their sense of smell was so sensitive that it was more acute than that of today.

In their alphabet, the Lemurian humanity used 51 vowels and 300 consonants. The power of the word, of the verb, was not degenerated. Their language was the universal language that has power over fire, over air, over the waters, and the earth.

The Lemurian humanity was a superior humanity, millions of times superior to this present humanity. They made powerful civilizations, and also knew how to use the energy of the atom and cosmic rays. They had spaceships in which they traveled throughout the infinite space. These were marvelous spaceships.

Any human being in Lemuria could live for twelve to fifteen centuries. Their lifespan was more than one thousand years. It was a strong, vigorous race. They could easily take a boulder and throw it far away, a boulder that today would require a strong crane to move (perhaps not even a crane would be able).

The Lemurians were a very strong, vigorous root race. However, their origin was not in the Pacific, as it is believed. The ancestors of Lemurians came from the Hyperborean continent, that horseshoe shaped land close around the North and South Poles.

In the Hyperborean continent there existed a powerful androgynous race. They were not hermaphrodites, but androgynous. It was not a root race that was only limited to the terrestrial layer as the Lemurian race was. The Hyperboreans were different: they floated within the atmosphere, within the atmosphere of those days.

However, they created their own civilization. Many have believed that they never knew war, but as a matter of fact there was a race of Hyperboreans that had wars.

The mineral, vegetable, animal, and human kingdoms were very mixed then. There were mineral-vegetables and vegetable-minerals, animal-vegetaloids, and vegetaloid-animals. Human beings were totally androgynous; they could elongate their bodies voluntarily to a great height or reduce themselves to a mathematical point.

The Hyperboreans reproduced themselves as corals do: by sprouting. We know very well that there are plants that can reproduce themselves by simple sprouting. A sprout germinates, and this grows and develops. Likewise, from those bodies a sprout could be born that would later detached itself when ready for independent existence, and it would become a creature that was fed by the father-mother.

It was a root race of very combative, tall, and thin beings. They protected themselves with big shields and lances. They used to fight amongst their tribes.

The Hyperboreans lived in a very different era of the world’s history. They had their spiritual vision totally developed. Their pineal gland was protuberant; this gland allowed them to see the ultra of everything.

If we comprehend that any plant is the physical body of a plant elemental, then we can understand that each plant has a soul [consciousness]. The soul of each plant is its plant elemental. So, the Hyperboreans did not see a forest as we do today, as a group of trees or something like that. The forest to them was endowed with elemental giants with big arms moving from right to left (such as Briareos, the one with one hundred arms). The forest was not silent either, since all around them they could listen to the voices of those colossuses or elemental giants, the voices of the elementals of the gigantic trees.

They had another way of observing things, not as we do now, with our miserable sight that can only perceive physical things. When developed, the sight can allow one to perceive the superior dimensions of nature and the cosmos. It was an omniscient sight. With such sight one could see the Earth as it is, and not as it apparently is, not as we observe it now.

They had a superior wisdom and knowledge, immensely superior to what we presently have. All that we know now is only good in order to organize the intellect a little bit, that is it.

The Hyperboreans were wiser and were governed by the super-humans, by the superhumans of all times and ages.

They had kingdoms and civilizations, but their racial origin did not originate in the Hyperborean continent either. They knew that their ancestors went back further in time. The Hyperborean’s ancestors were the protoplasmic humans, the polar humans, the glacial humans of the first root race who lived in the North Pole region.

One cannot avoid laughing at Haeckel’s protoplasmic theory and his partisans who believed that life comes from it, which is in accordance with their unbreakable dogma of evolution (this was also accepted by Darwin and his partisans).

The protoplasmic humans were not related to that protoplasm (of some other authors) “that was floating in the ocean.” No indeed, they were not related with that protoplasm. It is better if we think about the protoplasmic human and about the protoplasmic root race that existed on the sacred island (the first island, and the last one that will disappear). I am referring to the Nordic land, the Land of Crystal, as our ancestors of Anahuac called it. That island is the ancient Tule, the continent that now is covered by the ice of the North Pole. Yet, in that era that continent was located at the equatorial zone of the Earth, because the Earth’s position was different. At that time the current equator was a pole and the poles were the equator.

That island had huge and profound forests. A gigantic polar civilization was created on it. The Earth indeed had a magnificently beautiful blue color. The mountains were as transparent as crystals.

The protoplasmic root race reproduced themselves with the system that we still have in the blood of our organism: the system of cellular division. We very well know that this process begins when the germinal cell is divided in two and then four and so on during the nine months of gestation. The germinal cell is divided in two, the two are divided in four, the four into eight, and in that way starts the process of gestation through cellular division. Even now, I repeat, that process still exists in our organism. Why does it exist? It exists because it existed before, because the polar humans reproduced themselves with that process. Thus, at a certain time the father-mother organism was divided into two, as the cell divides itself, thus in that way reproduction was performed. When a creature was born it was celebrated as a great event.

The hierophants had meetings in the temples in order to work with the elements of nature and the esoteric symbols were used in different forms. They were used to indicate to us that life was in the process of materializing into the physical.

The human beings of the polar era could voluntarily stretch or reduce their bodies to a mathematical point. They were androgynous. They were able to express the feminine aspect within themselves, resembling beautiful ladies, as well as being able to submerge within themselves and express their masculine aspect. They were authentic, divine, androgynous beings. Their imagination reflected the starry firmament; they spoke the word of gold that flows like a river through a thick, sunny jungle.

Then, Uriel, great master of Venus, taught the arts and sciences. Uriel left a book written with Runic characters, a book that was studied by the human beings of the polar root race, the human beings of the first era.

The whole of this data is written in the Akashic Archives of nature. If you develop the epiphysis and the hypophysis (those two small glands) you will be able to study (with proper concentration) for yourselves what I am stating here.

What is the origin of the polar root race? The human beings of the first root race knew quite well that they had evolved in a previous era, or that they had lived within a superior dimension, in the fourth dimension; they knew that it was there that they had lived and known the mysteries of the universe.

The human beings of the fourth dimension did not ignore that they had come from the fifth dimension. The human beings of the fifth dimension did not ignore that they had come from the sixth dimension, and also the human beings of the sixth dimension never doubted that they had unfolded from the primitive original seed.

Therefore, the elemental seed, atomic, primeval of the human race, existed before the existence of these universes; it came from within the Chaos.

The seeds of the human race, of the plant elements and of the animal species were within the Chaos. Those seeds were asleep within the Chaos before the universe existed. When the universe was shaken with the Word, when the Creative Word of the first moment put in movement all of the atoms, those seeds surged forth from within the Chaos. They had their first manifestation in the seventh dimension. Afterwards they crystallized and developed a bit more in the sixth, then in the fifth, later in the fourth, and the day came when those seeds appeared already with some development on our planet Earth, on the protoplasmic Earth, as simple living protoplasm.

The human race came from the Chaos, evolved in the Chaos, and was developed within the Chaos. One day, the human organisms will return to their seminal primeval state, thus they will come back into the Chaos. They came from the Chaos and to the Chaos they will return.

Once our planet Earth was a protoplasm, yet in a future time, after the seventh root race, it will be a cadaver, a new moon. Then life will pass, it will exist within the superior spheres and it will eventually return into the Chaos, because from the Chaos it came and to the Chaos it will have to return.

Does the Chaos that I have mentioned have any relation with the theories of Darwin, Haeckel, Huxley, and their partisans? No, it does not have any relation with those nonsensical theories. The Chaos is the Chaos and the reason for its existence is the Chaos itself. The Chaos is sacred. The latent seeds of life exist within the Chaos, there they developed and from there they evolve and descend, from dimension to dimension, to finally appear here in a concrete form.

I wrote this book in order to talk in detail about this. However, there are other authors that have explained many aspects of anthropogenesis. I can especially recommend the second volume of The Secret Doctrine, entitled Anthropogenesis, whose author is the Master H. P. Blavatsky. Also Rudolf Steiner, for example, in his Treatise of Occult Science, clarified many aspects about it.

From the Chaos emerged the cosmos. Undoubtedly, through the law of three, through the Holy Triamazikamno, it is possible for the creation of new unities. When the three forces (positive, negative, and neutral) coincide at a common point, a new creation appears. The creation of any cosmic unity would not be possible without the conjunction of these three forces that in themselves are the Holy Triamazikamno. These three forces are the Holy Affirmation, the Holy Denial, and the Holy Conciliation.

However, to create is one thing and to organize is another. It is possible to create, but if there is no organization, what could the creation itself be worth? For a cosmos (an order of worlds) to emerge, to crystallize, it is necessary to have another law. I want to emphatically refer to the law of the eternal Heptaparaparshinokh, the law of seven. Through the law of the Holy Triamazikamno creation is done, but through the law of seven the organization of what has been created (in the form of a cosmos) is established.

Therefore, our solar system exists because of two laws: first the Holy Triamazikamno; second the eternal Heptaparaparshinokh. Thanks to these two laws our solar system and planet Earth can exist. From the Chaos emerged a cosmos, and from the Chaos emerged all the cosmoses. So, from the darkness emanates the light...
