Course XXIX - Teaching 16: Additional Information

A Root-Race begins and develops at several places, and seven groups of this Race emerge at seven different parts of the Globe.
Always it occurred this way, since the first Root-Race.
Each Root-Race has seven sub-races, and each sub-race has seven family sub-races; each family sub-race has seven group sub-races.
At the present Round, men preceded all animals, and likewise it occurred in our Globe, because the Uranian shadows preceded those monsters. At the Lunar Round, these shadows had given birth to their astral bodies. A physical body never could be born before the astral body.
Life evolution is very slow and started on our Solar system 1,955,884,741 years ago; individual beings started forming their own astral bodies 301,000,000 years ago.
But human evolution dates back just 18,618,769 years.
The first Root-Race lasted 7,000,000 years and was speechless.
The second Root-Race lasted 6,000,000 years. Even though it was speechless, its entire body had a sense that emitted a set of sounds.
The third Root-Race lasted 3,000,000 years, and monosyllabic cries started being known. At the end of this Race, there was a sort of language with cries combined with aspirate consonants.
The fourth Root-Race lasted 2,500,000 years. Their language was agglutinative, and the Toltecas knew a language with inflections.
Until our days (year 1941), the Aryan Race is 118,769 years old.
Atlantean migrations always took place from north-west to south-east, while invasions were to the north. The inhabitants of the Atlantean Continent could see the Sun shining with more intensity on the coral island.
From 150,000 years ago to 120,000 years ago, the Aryan types increased considerably, and they were almost half of the total population of this island.
Of course, Atlantean Semites and the first Aryans had so different idiosyncrasies that fierce intestine fights ensued. The Atlanteans of old type envied the physical body of the predecessors of the Aryans because this body was extraordinarily beautiful. These fights brought about the first migrations, and the Atlanteans of Aryan type had to go in quest of new lands.
Quite numerous islands and rocky isles emerged from the waters amid the island inhabited by them and the new Continent.
Following this route, they settled on the fore-coast of the new Continent, where at present you find the islands of New Guinea and Borneo.
The cycle was about to end up. New cosmic forces filled with new strength the lands to the south-east of Asia. The Great Initiates of the Aryan Race were prepared to descend and guide the chosen to their new abodes.
118,765 years ago (Gregorian calendar, 1937), Manu Vaivasvata incarnated amid men to select the Aryans and found the first Aryan sub-race, the “Aryan-Aryan”.
