Course XXIV - Teaching 3: Solar Initiates of First Category
Solar Initiates of First Category started appearing in physical raiment on the Earth when the first Aryan types were being formed from Semitic-Atlanteans.
These Men-Gods appeared like luminous meteors in front of a continent that was sinking, and with their power they helped the latter and their memory being lost and forgot in the depth of the oceanic abyss, while they selected a small group of chosen men among these beings.
Later, they took these chosen men over waters and through swarms and ruins of the past, to the Promised Land, which gradually was emerging from the seas to serve as the seat of the future Humanity.
Before their disappearance, these Divine Initiates leave as memories of Them, fundamental Laws of Eternal Wisdom, like a pearl into a seashell and thrown to the depth of the sea. At the bottom of waters of the human soul, the Divine Wisdom will wait for long centuries until this spiritualized thought is taken out of the inner darkness by the redeemed soul; as a diver discovers a pearl and takes it out of the darkness to make it shine on the forehead of the man.
Manu Vaivasvata, a Solar Initiate of First Category, incarnated among men, selected Aryans and founded the first Aryan sub-race. He defeated the Atlanteans and leads chosen men to the Promised Land. He is the founder of ten great Tribes or Dynasties, which will give life to the whole sub-race.
In its holy writings, the Hindu legend preserves Manu Vaivasvata’s memory, and says the God Vishnu ordered Manu Vaivasvata to build an ark and save with it the chosen men during the days of the great deluge, which had to destroy the land of the black giants, taking this way the chosen men to the new land.
Menes, a Solar Initiate of First Category, founds in ancient Egypt, on the left bank of Nile River, the city of Memphis. To do so, He slanted the arm of the river, which went to the North. Herodotus, father of history, tells so. This symbolizes how Menes, overcoming troubles due to seismic movements founded a city on a sure place by replacing other city destroyed by waters.
Even if Menes is certainly a Solar Initiate, who helped form the early Aryan Race and his name appears on many ancient writings, He is not mentioned in the annals of the Mother.
As Manu Vaivasvata abandoned the lands of the Asiatic coast, he left a small group of men of Aryan type that would become founders of the Aryan-Semitics sub-race. These men were guided by a Solar Initiate of First Category, who later has entered history with the name of Noah or Nueh, and he surely is an image of the Bible Noah.
Also, Noah chooses among the Semitic people men and women indicated by God, and later he navigates during forty days of deluge, in the ark that has been built, toward the virgin and uncontaminated land
A coincident and similar point can be noticed in the story or legend of these great men: It is the Great Solar Initiate of First Category who defeats the last hosts, lost and saved from a decayed race, and it is he who founds a new dynasty of select beings.
