Course XXIX - Teaching 5: Lemurian Race

Buried under the waters of the Pacific Ocean, a land that mainly formed a part of the Lemurian Continent remains intact.
The student may use more easily the name the continent of the third Root-Race “Lemuria”, after the geologist P.L. Sclater, but ancient esoteric writings call it “Zalmai Patala”.
Whereas the Hyperborean monsters had been destroyed by hurricane and swallowed by oceanic currents, they have not perished as a whole. A select group had avoided this destruction in order to establish on the new continent a Race of men conquerors of the mind.
Days with Son and perennial springtime faded away as a legend or dream. Fiery forces and centers of the Earth had started their glorious era of boiling.
The oceanic waters, composed of water and numberless chemical elements, boiled in a prodigious way in order to displace chemical elements for the sake of those two unique elements of the present water.
A thick and heavy atmosphere, charged with vapor, was over and around the Earth; and whereas there was Solar light over the planet, the sunrays came filtered through thick layers of clouds.
Gradually, monsters were becoming men, –giant men that moved heavily and spent a part of their lives lying on the ground and striving to stand up. Since these men did not bend their knees, while standing they have to lean on the trees; and when they started walking, they could do just by using heavy canes. The journey of the Lemurian men is splendidly marked by Wagner’s symphony, “Gold of the Rhin”, when the giants go up and demand from the Gods the price of Walhala’s edification.
Progress toward conquest was slow and painful. The luminous yellow skin of the Lemurians –inherited from the Hyperboreans– became gradually paler, while the body acquired density and the skin became quite red.
By the middle of the Race, the Lemurians stopped the egg-procreation, there was separation by sexes, and the monads entered the Lemurian body and granted the gift of the mind.
But monads did not occupy continuously these physical bodies; they entered and went out at will. When they went out of their bodies, they worked by means of the glands hypophysis and epiphysis, or third eye; when they in themselves, they used physical eyes, which started glimpsing shadows and figures around.
Also, their skulls entirely exposed the crown of the head, and the characteristic physical aspect was of “headless men”.
Greatness and at the same time destruction and ruin of this Race are the product of separate sexes. The inner terrestrial fire caused the Earth to crackle and explode everywhere. Every mountain was a volcano throwing continuously fire and lava. Most advanced types started experiencing the carnal pleasure, and they joined to the most retarded types, still deprived of mind. This brought about a terrible degeneration.
Of the union of minded-types and mindless types, monsters are born that preceded animal vertebrate species, such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and dinosaurs.
The curse of the Race occurred and brought its destruction and death.
Immense cataclysms and earthquakes destroyed gradually Lemuria.
The three large oceans were invading the three parts of the Lemurian Continent, that is, Zampa, Zampata and Zalmali Patala.
But this Race had achieved great victories, that is, sexes separated, mind conquered, a fit body to proper abode of the spirits, and the spine perfected.
Kundalini ascended perfectly from the base of the spine to the brain on the last sub-race of the Lemurians. And this sub-race finally defeated the mindless races or animals, and established an insurmountable barrier between the animal kingdom and the human kingdom, by granting to man the real right of Humanity.
