ROOT RACES OF MAN-KIND ​ by THE HONORABLE DJ METAL MONKEY There are seven Root-Races or evolutionary cycles through which humanity evolves. Each root-race is divided into seven minor cycles called sub-races, which are again subdivided into seven branch or family races. These sub- divisions are related to the modern concept of races and ethnicities. It must be stressed that the sub-races refer to cultural qualities and not to the level of evolution of the soul, they are different evolutionary stages humanity as a whole goes through successively. The same individuals that compose the current humanity have been reborn in all the previous Root- Races. We are presently at the fifth stage, referred to as the "Aryans". Aryans (the word means "noble" in Sanskrit) were the original Indo-European nomadic tribesmen, a war-like race of horsemen that moved east to India and West into the near East and Europe. Historians argue that when they got to Europe they destroyed the peace-loving earth-wisdom pagan matriarchal societies and replaced them with war-like sky-god worshipping patriarchal societies such as we still have today. It is unfortunate that the term "Aryan" was adopted and perverted by Hitler and his intellectual predecessor's fantasies of an "Aryan Superman”, and is still used today by right-wing white power extremists. Hitler and his inner circle also perverted some genuine ancient symbols, like the swastika (an ancient Sanskrit symbol) by using it in a counter clockwise position. However, the Swastikas in India, Tibet, and elsewhere are also sometimes represented counter-clockwise as well as clockwise. There have been on Earth many civilizations of which we know nothing. These Races evolve from ethereality to materiality, and from the latter back again so every living organic species of animals and vegetation changes with every new Root-Race. Every sub-race and nation have their cycles and stages of developmental evolution repeated on a smaller scale. Our race then has, as a Root-race, evolution repeated on a smaller scale. Our race then has, as a Root-race, crossed the middle line of the Root Races and is cycling onward on the Spiritual side; but some sub-races still find themselves on the shadowy descending arc of their respective national cycles; while others again, the oldest, having crossed their crucial point (which decides whether a race, a nation, or a tribe will live or perish) are at the apex of spiritual development as sub-races. The seven Rounds decrease and increase in their respective durations, as well as the seven races in each. Thus the 4th Rounds as well as every 4h race are the shortest, while the 1st and 7th Rounds and the 1st and 7th Root Races are the longest. Each Root-Race succeeds another, although there is a period of overlapping between the old forms dying out and the new forms beginning to become more and more dominant. The timespan applied to a root race is considerable. For instance, the Fifth, according to Theosophical records, covered the years 10,000 BCE to 3,000 BCE in right-brained megalithic cultures and 3,000 BCE to 2,400 CE in left- brained modern cultures. The periods of the great root races are divided from each other by great convulsions of Nature, and by great geological changes. Every root-race is separated by a catastrophe, a cataclysm—the basis and historical foundation of the fables woven later on into the religious fabric of every people, whether civilized or savage, under the names of “deluges,” “showers of fire”, ‘great floods” and the like . Our present continents have been submerged and had the time to reappear again, and bear their new groups of mankind and civilization; and that, at the first great geological upheaval, at the next cataclysm, in the series of periodical cataclysms, that occur from the beginning to the end of every Round, our known continents will go down, and the ancient continents will arise again. ​ When reading below it must be remembered that the Theosophical concept is that Souls develop through an evolutionary process from : ​ 1. Mineral, to; ​ 2. Plant; to ​ 2. Plant; to ​ 3. Animal; to ​ 4. Human. There is no transmigration backward so that a human cannot go backwards to an animal, etc. ​ The description below skips the first step (Mineral) ,and starts with a step (Polarians) after mineral. It then goes directly to the Second Root Race which describes the human soul evolving within rudimentary animals (algae, etc. to the first human like form). The Third Root Race describes a giant Human Cyclops Race which evolves and ends with the start of the first modern human form of Man. The Fourth Root Race starts with a race of two eyed Giant Humans, beginning about 60 feet tall then decreasing to 20 to 30 feet tall ,which got progressively smaller until they reached modern Human size. ​ We are currently in the Fifth Root Race where humans are normal modern size .The third eye of the Cyclops has been absorbed over time into the brain. Some describe the third cyclops eye to be the Pineal Glad of the brain or what today is known as the "Third Eye" of modern humans .However modern science believes that it is more likely the Visual Association Cortex and the Parietal Cortex and the Prefrontal cortex, all higher cognitive processing centers of the brain, are the absorbed third eye. ROOT RACES OF THEOSOPHY 1) Polarians - The first root race was primarily spiritual (Astral/Etheric), and did not leave physical remains. 2) Hyperboreans – The second, Hyperborean root-race (a continuation of the first) was semi- astral, but grew denser and more opaque with each passing age. Towards its end, it became more gelatinous and filamentoid in structure, and developed end, it became more gelatinous and filamentoid in structure, and developed the rudimentary beginnings of bones and organs, hair and skin. Although still more or less ovoid in form, it began to show the first outlines of the later human form. However, towards its end, its bodies passed through many curious, part-animal forms. 3) Lemurians – The Lemurians were the first with physical bodies. They were described as a race of three eyed giants and inhabited a "lost continent" of Lemuria which is where the Indian and Pacific oceans now are. Modern theosophists sometimes identify Lemuria with the actual ancient supercontinent of Gondwana. Others may refer to it as "Mu". 4) Atlanteans – The Atlantean Root Race includes the following sub-races: 1) Rohmahls 2) Tlavatlis 3) Toltecs 4) First Turanians 5) Original Semites 6) Akkadians 7) Mongolians 5) Aryans The constituent "sub-races" of the Aryan (5th or present) Root Race include the following: 1) Hindus 2) Sumerians 3) Egyptians 4) Hellenes (Greeks & Romans) 5) Europeans 6) Nova men 7) Indigo Children & Star Children 6) 6th Root Race (Seal) 7) 7th Root Race (Trumpet) ​NOTE: At the end of the Seventh Root Race the Human period of activity on ​NOTE: At the end of the Seventh Root Race the Human period of activity on Earth will cease and a planetary period of rest will begin. The Human Life- Wave will then transfer to Mars (Globe E). ****************** EXPLANATION OF THE ROOT RACES​ ​ According to THE HONORABLE DJ METAL MONKEY ​ First Root-Race POLIRIANS The fourth round began some 320 million years ago towards the end of the Precambrian era, a period marked by tremendous geological upheavals. The first of the seven root-races or humanities was a race of astral entities and appeared in mid-Paleozoic times, some 150 million years ago. As the seven classes of human monads from globe C started to arrive on globe D, they awakened the corresponding classes of shishtas, which began to multiply in number. The first subrace of the first root-race therefore consisted of seven groups, seven embryonic astral humanities, evolving on seven different zones of the first continent, situated around the North Pole. Theosophy therefore teaches ‘the simultaneous evolution of seven human groups on seven different portions of our globe’ (SD 2:1). Strictly speaking, it teaches a modified polygenesis. For, while it assigns to humanity a oneness of origin, in so far that its forefathers or "creators" were all divine beings – though of different classes or degrees of perfection in their hierarchy – men were nevertheless born on seven different centers of the continent of that period. ... [T]heir potentialities and mental capabilities, outward or physical forms, and future characteristics, were very different. ... Some superior, others inferior, to suit the karma of the various reincarnating monads which could not be all of the same degree of purity in their last births in other worlds. This accounts for the difference of purity in their last births in other worlds. This accounts for the difference of races ... (SD 2:249) The earth on which the first race lived was more ethereal than it is today, but relatively hard and condensed in comparison with those non self- conscious ‘human’ protoplasts. They had huge translucent or transparent bodies, ovoid though somewhat fluid in form, with no bones or organs, and no hair or skin. They slowly grew more solid, but remained ethereal until the end. The race was sexless and propagated by fission: a large portion of the body separated itself and grew into a duplicate of its parent, much as happens with living cells today. In contrast to the huge and highly ethereal cells of the first race, our physical bodies today begin their existence as a microscopic cell or egg, a speck of gelatinous protoplasm, which slowly hardens and grows into the human form.
