Course XXXVI - Teaching 3: Inner Life of Earth

In the times of the Atlantean race, an immense heat, a nitric fire, was boiling in the earthly entrails. The planet did not receive calories from sun rays because the atmosphere was covered by thick clouds and vapors.
Vegetation was mainly produced by effect of inner heat; so, exuberant and juicy roots were the most developed part of vegetation with pale colors and without perfume.
This inner heat also sustained life in the depths of seas and oceans.
Great seismic shakes, sinking and lifting continents, buried these vegetal layers under true vaults. Gases and fermentation produced by inner heat created a mineral deposit, carbon caverns and deposits of coke, which temperatures and present weather conditions would be unable to produce.
There remains of antediluvian monsters and of Atlanteans skeletons remained buried, waiting for another similar movement that may throw them again to the sea level.
Under those mineral deposits still there are other vast deposits of gold, tin, platinum, copper, manganese, et cetera.
And far below, there are luminous caverns formed by basalt of lavae from Lemurian and Atlantean volcanoes, and also from more recent volcanoes belonging to the time of Silurian transition.
There, the colors of the Great Element, vivified by the terrestrial action along with a sun action that penetrates until these abysses, produces fantastic scenes of lights and colors; from yellow of Prithivi to blue of Vayu, with harmony not easily imitated.
In the bosom of the Earth there are living beings: remains of Lemurian races that buried in those vast galleries and that for millennia gradually degenerated. They are semi-blind, semi-unconscious, deformed and merely instinctive.
In his book “The Future Race”, Bulwer Lytton described certain beings living in the depths of the Earth, but, such as they are described, they are not like those specified in this Teaching but like benefic and powerful elementals.
And beyond, even far below the Earth, there are great corridors; the tombs of the Pharaohs imitate these corridors, true chambers of the queen and king where the Queen of the Planet, the almighty Prithivi, Mother Bhumi dwells: potential vegetative essence giving life to the planet.
In its center, the fire –vital spirit of Earth– still is burning. From this central fire –concentric prana– fiery spheres emanate and travel through mysterious corridors and inner chambers, gradually ascending through the spine of the planet to the surface for their union with the sunbeams and for stimulation of natural life.
When such flame is totally out, the planet dies, that is, explodes, and the vital essence of this flame must pass to another negative center of the universe, and form and give life over there to a new world.
