120.1 The Pre-Individualized Races of Proto-Humanity
What is the meaning of individualization?
Individualization is the great event that marks one important step of evolution, when the animal-man starts to become a human being, a thinking entity, through the implantation of the Spark of Mind (the Mind Principle). The basic concept is correct. It is a good idea to begin with the general statement that you are making here.
Do you have a clear idea of the process?
The process is not very clear to me. And to most of us.
Describe the process as clearly as you can from the perspective of the Solar Angels; from the perspective of pre-individualized animal man (a); and in relation to the formulation of the egoic lotus; in relation to the implantation of the spark of mind (b).
The Solar Angels are the producers of the individualization or the realised consciousness and the builders of the Ego (Egoic Lotus or Causal Body) out of their own substance. The planting of the Spark of Mind at Individualization begins the work of building the Causal Body.
The pre-individualized animal man had lived mostly by his instincts, with his physical senses. Thus, passing through the door of individualization, the animal man has now started to become self-conscious with the infantly (recently- nascent????) forming of his mental unit. Adequate answer to show that you hold the correct concept.
120.2 Atlantean Rootrace and Atlantean Consciousness
What planetary energies are involved with the expression of Atlantean consciousness? Explain.
The Atlantean consciousness is related to the astral and emotional consciousness, which is corresponding to the Water sign of Cancer and the planetary energies of the Moon and Neptune. Because the two rulers of Cancer are the Moon (Mother of All Forms, the exoteric ruler) and Neptune (God of the Sea, the esoteric ruler).
If we conceptually understand Humanity as the expression of the self-conscious stage of developing the aspect Will on the dense physical plane, and assume that the Root Races represent certain developing stages of that Humanity through the aspects of (i) intelligence (ii) love and (iii) will, then the energies expressing in the so-called Atlantean Root-Race (and the other Root Races – see below) analogize to the development of the “love” stage in Humanity. This was done through emphasizing the astral activity aspect of that Root Race.
120.3 The Aryan Race, Sub-races and Aryan Consciousness
How would you contrast the consciousness of the members of the Aryan root race with those of the Atlantean and Lemurian root races?
The differentiation among the consciousness of the members of the Aryan root race, the Atlantean root race and the Lemurian root race is in the level of focusing.
For the Lemurian consciousness, the level of focus is in the physical world.
For the Atlantean consciousness, the level of focus is in the astral, emotional, sensuous world.
For the Caucasian or Aryan consciousness, the level of focus is in the mental or intellectual world. They will have the ability to function with clarity upon the mental plane, collating, rightly interpreting and relating information, creating the needed thoughtforms or concepts for these interpretations. The intellect aspect of both concrete and abstract, lower and higher minds is steadily unfolding and the power to organize and to work individually is developed. Thus, human starts to sense the Divine Will and Purpose, and comprehend the great evolutionary Plan.
Very good; also that whole subject can be summarized by continuing with the analogy stated in question #120.2, the corresponding aspect of intelligence was developed in the Lemurian Root Race and the aspect of Will is developing through the Aryan Race. We have to note here that the Will aspect in man is presently still limited to the power of self-consciousness (the little will in man) and that Humanity has to reach group consciousness before it can show a substantial difference.
120.4 The Coming 6th & 7th Rootraces & Anticipated Scope of their Consciousness
Speculate upon the consciousness and appearance of man during the 6th root race and the 7th root race.
Human consciousness during the 6th root race will be intuitive and will have the ability to actively function in the buddhic plane. The power of abstract mind to comprehend and generate abstract thoughts will be developed.
Human consciousness during the 7th round will achieve the fullest spiritual manifestation of the soul and its vehicles. Humanity will have the ability to actively function in the atmic or nirvanic plane.
In terms of the appearance of man during the 6th and the 7th root races, they might not be so gigantic but their bodies and senses would be very fine and keen. Very good!
In the same vein of thought, the 6th and 7th Root Races will usher in budding and continuing the evolution of group consciousness. This is done by the overall development of the Race of Man through the Rays on the planes and the merging of etheric energy in the human unit as it ascends the planes.
