Courses on History

Course XXVII - Teaching 19: Buddhism

Indian religion had degenerated in such a way that became mere external idolatry. Superior castes tyrannized the people infusing religious terror into them. Even images of gods, with awful aspect, monstrous heads and macabre postures did not infuse love or veneration but superstition and panic.

Course XXVII - Teaching 21: The Germans

A tribe of pure Aryans, survivors of the great migration hecatomb, lived as if they were lost in the immense snowy steppes of Nordic countries. They were red-haired men, of sharp and metallic gaze like steel, tall and handsome; their piercing cries resounded in the vastness of glacial deserts.

Course XXVII - Teaching 22: The Gauls

Celts form the fourth Aryan race. It is very difficult to determine the origin of it, since it is a part of the early Aryan race that had remained uncontaminated in the centre of Europe.

Course XXVII - Teaching 24: The Military Sikhs

Before dawn of Renaissance in Europe, a millenary India, cradle of the oldest religions and of the pure Aryan race, had declined in an alarming way. Buddhism, that pure religion that centuries ago awakened the consciousness in India to the source of eternity, had been banished by fire and sword to the rest of Asia.

Course XXVII - Teaching 25: Christendom

Christendom marked a new basic era that was entirely different from the precedent, which revolutionized the world and still today is creed of the European civilization. Any religion born of the two currents, namely Vedic and Egyptian, flow into the sea of Christianity; and those that did not survive, remain in decline.

Course XXVII - Teaching 26: Islam

Half-savage men, half-naked and half-Aryans had remained all together alert on the edge of the lost continent for millennia. Lands of leaden sky and with temples and cities of solid gold had sunk under the waters.

Course XXVII - Teaching 27: Religion of the African Jungle

The belief of African black people of the jungle consists of a primitive fetishism, a degenerated traditional worship of ancient Atlantean peoples. The Kaffirs believe in life after death, revere constantly their ancestors, and call them Insicholaga, or Barinos.

Course XXVII - Teaching 28: Incaic Worship of the Sun

Remnants of Atlantean tribes, emigrating toward the centre of the American continent, arrived following a narrow strip of land not affected by earthquakes. This wild, virgin and gorgeous continent extended until the south-east, where the Andes range showed its immaculate crests, emerging from the froth of the sea as a new Venus.

Course XXVII - Teaching 29: Ancient Mexican Religions

The Aztecs, Miltecs and Toltecs are very similar to the Incas in religion and customs, and also descendants of the Atlanteans. Contrary to the redskins of the Rocky Mountains, who had preserved the highest degree the customs of an entirely spiritual religion, with patriarchal and venerable habits, these natives of Central America were materialistic, fierce and bloodthirsty.

Course XXVIII - Teaching 1: The Fountain of Religions

Peoples of the Aryan Atlanteans had received from the Great Instructors of this race the truths of its religions. These truths, strengthened by the perceptive psychic power of this race, were of an entirely intuitive character.
