Not for the weak of intellect!,
By Abraxus (Lehi, UT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beginnings of the Sixth Root Race (Paperback)
This is at the heart of ancient esoteric thought. Briefly, during each planetary round, every kingdom or life-wave goes through seven stages of development on each globe. In the human kingdom, these stages are called root-races or humanities. The root-races overlap: a new race begins in the middle of the previous one. Each root-race contains the same egos that were evolving in the preceding root-race.
As a general rule, a root-race lasts for two mahâ-yugas (8.64 million years). During the first mahâ-yuga, the race reaches its zenith. A racial cataclysm then ensues, and during the second mahâ-yuga the old race slowly dies out while a new one emerges and pursues its evolution towards maturity. The fifth race in particular will last for two mahâ-yugas. The fourth race lasted somewhat longer, the sixth and seventh races will be slightly shorter, and the first three races were considerably longer. CW Leadbeater through his clairvoyant visions, delineates his findings on this subject matter. Heady stuff. Know a bit of Theosophy before you attempt this read!
