Hey Holla Forums,
I recently came across a compelling theory based on the doctrine of cycles which I felt like sharing.
In the history of the Earth, there are seven "root" races which reach the height of their power in a linear succession. Throughout its history, each root race goes through four cycles; a Satya Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, and Kali Yuga. (For the sake of this thread, I will assume that most of you already know about the doctrine of cycles). Each root race has seven "subraces", also in linear succession which likewise each go through their own four "mini" Yugas.
There is a period in time when each race and subrace is at the height of its power. Each race diminishes in significance until another takes its place as the "leaders" but continues to linger afterwards for a while, in an increasingly degenerated state, until it disappears into obscurity. The current root race is the Aryan race, and the current most powerful subrace is the Teutonic race.
The root races and subraces, in order are:
The First Root Race (Polarian)
The first root race was "ethereal", i.e. they were composed of etheric matter. They reproduced by dividing like an amoeba. Earth was still cooling at that time. The first mountain to arise out of the stormy primeval ocean was Mount Meru.
The Second Root Race (Hyperborean)
The second root race lived in Hyperborea. The second root race was colored golden yellow. Hyperborea included what is now Northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia, Northern Asia and Kamchatka. The climate was tropical because Earth had not yet developed an axial tilt. The esoteric name of their continent is Plaksha;[8] they called themselves the Kimpurshas. They reproduced by budding.[9] The second root race has no present-day descendents.
The Third Root Race (Lemurian)
The third root race, the Lemurian, was black and lived in Lemuria. The esoteric name of Lemuria is Shalmali. The descendants of the once-great Lemurians (we wuz Kangz n shieet) according to traditional Theosophy include the Capoid race, the Congoid race, the Dravidians, and the Australoid race, who have now degenerated to a bestial, semi-human form.
The fourth root race (Atlantean)
The Atlantean root race had Mongolian features; they began with bronze skin and gradually evolved into the red American Indian, brown Malayan, and yellow Mongolian races, because some Atlanteans eventually migrated to the Americas and Asia. The seven subraces of the Atlantean root race were
the Rmoahal
the Tlavati (Cro-Magnons)
the American Indian
the Turanian
the (original) Semites (e.g., the Phoenicians)
the Akkadians, and
the Mongolian, which migrated to and colonized East Asia.
The descendants of the Atlanteans according to traditional Theosophy include those of the Mongolian race, the Malayan race, and the American Indian race as well as some people of what in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was called the "olive-skinned" Mediterranean race.
The fifth root race (Aryan)
The subraces of the Aryan Fifth Root Race include the first subrace, the Hindu, which migrated from the "City of the Bridge" on the white island in the middle of the Gobi inland sea to India in 60,000 BC; the second subrace, the Arabian, which migrated from the "City of the Bridge" to Arabia in 40,000 BC; the third subrace, the Persian, which migrated from the "City of the Bridge" to Persia in 30,000 BC; the fourth subrace, the Celts, which migrated from the "City of the Bridge" to Western Europe beginning in 20,000 BC (the Mycenaean Greeks are regarded as an offshoot of the Celtic subrace that colonized Southeast Europe); and the fifth subrace, the Teutonic, which also migrated from the "City of the Bridge" to what is now Germany beginning in 20,000 BC (the Slavs are regarded as an offshoot of the Teutonic subrace that colonized Russia and surrounding areas).
