Talk:Cosmic Memory

Overview

Long periods of the development of human faculties (imagination, intelligence, etc.), class hierarchies, root races, alien oversight the Superhumans, earlier evolutionary periods more "spiritual", less dense, manipulation of physical reality through magical thought.

Extreme classicism and elitism peppered throughout.

Chapter Two

A treatise on "channeling" and a superstitious look at connection to something he calls the Akasha Chronicle. For notes on this, see the Connection discussion page.

Chapter Three

Describe "our Atlantean ancestors"

Describes several "root races". Lemurians (3rd), Atlantian (4th), Aryans (5th, current white folk), and two before Lemurians unnamed, and to come later, also unnamed.

Says humanity is going through seven stages of development, each of which has seven stages.

The population of a root race is thereby divided into seven sub-races. But one must not imagine that one subrace immediately disappears when a new one develops. Each one may maintain itself for a long time while others are developing beside it. Thus there are always populations which show different stages of development living beside each other on earth.

The Atlantean root race is divided into seven rub roots, Rmoahals, Tlavatli, Toltec, Primal Turanians, Primal Semites, Akkadians, and Mongols.

Incredibly racist, even stupid at times, and likely one of the sources of modern Nazi ideology

From this fifth subrace the most gifted part was selected which survived the decline of the fourth root race and formed the germ of the fifth, the Aryan race, whose mission is the complete development of the thinking faculty.

One must imagine that while a Lemurian could form ideas of what he was experiencing, he could not preserve these ideas. He immediately forgot what he had represented to himself

The ancestors of the Atlanteans lived in a region which has disappeared, the main part of which lay south of contemporary Asia. In theosophical writings they are called the Lemurians. After they had passed through various stages of development the greatest part of them declined. These became stunted men, whose descendants still inhabit certain parts of the earth today as so-called savage tribes. Only a small part of Lemurian humanity was capable of further development. From this part the Atlanteans were formed.

The magic power of words is something which was far truer for those men than it is for men of today. When a Rmoahals man pronounced a word, this word developed a power similar to that of the object it designated. Because of this, words at that time were curative; they could advance the growth of plants, tame the rage of animals, and perform other similar functions. All this progressively decreased in force among the later sub-races of the Atlanteans. One could say that the original fullness of power was gradually lost.

Says that the "leaders" of the planet are different than the masses because they are endowed by certain "higher beings" "which did not belong directly to earth."

They had been imparted to them by higher beings which did not belong directly to earth. Therefore it was only natural that the great mass of men felt their leaders to be beings of a higher kind, to be "messengers" of the gods. For what these leaders knew and could do would not have been attainable by human sense organs and by human reason. They were venerated as "divine messengers," and men received their orders, their commandments, and also their instruction.

Notice how this conveniently fits into "bloodline"/"blue blood" justifications for elite rule. Elites really are part of a "special breed" of human.

Of the people on Earth there are three classes.

• Divine messengers who are able to connect with the aliens because they are "far ahead of the great mass of people." e.g., Moses who recieves messages
• The great mass of humanity, "doomed to gradual extinction."
• A small group of "chosen ones" whom a "being of the first kind" could train.

From this third group the above-mentioned principal leader, whom occult literature designates as Manu, selected the ablest in order to cause a new humanity to emerge from them.
