QUESTION # 23: Can you discuss the Root Races of Mankind for us, specifically the Aryan race and its subraces? Polarian; Hyperborean; Lemurian; Atlantean and its 7 subraces; Aryan and its 6 subraces. What is the time span across these races? Finley Eversole Response to Question # 23 There isn't much I can say on this topic as there isn't such information in the Wisdom Teachings I have studied. The last remnants of the Lemurian race are the aborigines of Australia. The Tibetan tells us the last of that race will pass out of existence in another 600 years -- meaning those souls will then have entered the Atlantean race. The yellow races of China and associated areas are the major remnants of the Atlantean race. So we will have a huge percentage of humanity who are primarily Atlantean (focused on their emotions) on earth. He who was Confucius is returning/has returned and will lead the people of China to the height of their glory within the next 50 years. This may help to account for the remarkable rise of China. The Aryan race (which has nothing to do with Hitler's use of the term) consists of all members of the human family who are developing mentally. This includes most Westerners and many others around the world of different races who are developing the powers of the mind. The Tibetan's book, The Destiny of the Nations ( a short ​ ​ book) contains about as much information about the differences of national cultures as I know of. I can't summarize a book in an email, but it is not difficult reading if you have in mind the 7 Rays we've discussed so often. The Soul Ray and Personality Ray of many nations is discussed and gives much insight into national cultures. I'll list the Rays again here: Ray 1 - Will or Power Ray 2 - Love-Wisdom Ray 3- Active Intelligence Ray 4 - Harmony through Conflict (Harmony, Art, and Beauty) Ray 5 - Concrete Science (which will reach its peak development within the next 500 years) Ray 6 - Devotion, Idealism (which governed the Piscean Age) Ray 7 - Order, Magic (Ray 7 will rule the Aquarian Age) The point of subraces and branch races is to develop certain qualities that are needed as part of the Plan of the Logos, but which do not require an entire race to develop. Irish, Scotch, and Welch would be examples of subraces. I've never heard of Polarian. The Hyperborean was the 2nd Root race. They did not have physical bodies but were more of the nature of amorphous gas. I'm wondering why the questions are becoming mostly hypothetical and concern things that have little or no direct bearing on our development on the spiritual Path. Speculation about things we can know little about until we have become high Initiates with the ability to read the Akashic Records and otherwise see and know all is to a considerable extent a waste of energy. Studying things such as the Law of Vibration, Law of Cycle, and Law of Attraction, or Law of Correspondence, or the constitution of Man have endless practical applications to our spiritual journey. I hope future questions will focus more on what we can apply now in our lives and service. Fin .
