0:11
Speaker 2: Three Processes of reproduction. After instancing the simplest processes of
0:17
Speaker 2: propagation by self division and by the formation of bads,
0:21
Speaker 2: gerd Martio Heckel proceeds a third mode of non sexual propagation,
0:28
Speaker 2: that of the formation of germ bads. Polysporogonia is intimately
0:33
Speaker 2: connected with the formation of bads in the case of
0:36
Speaker 2: the lower imperfect organisms. Among animals, especially in the case
0:40
Speaker 2: of the plant like animals and worms, we very frequently
0:44
Speaker 2: find that in the interior of an individual composed of
0:47
Speaker 2: many cells, a small group of cells separates itself from
0:50
Speaker 2: those surrounding it, and that this small isolated group gradually
0:54
Speaker 2: develops itself into an individual, which becomes like the parent
0:58
Speaker 2: and sooner or later comes out of it. The formation
1:01
Speaker 2: of germbads is evidently but little different from real budding.
1:05
Speaker 2: But on the other hand, it is connected with a
1:08
Speaker 2: fourth kind of non sexual propagation which almost forms a
1:12
Speaker 2: transition to sexual production, namely the formation of germ cells monosporogonia.
1:18
Speaker 2: In this case, it is no longer a group of cells,
1:21
Speaker 2: but a single cell which separates itself from the surrounding
1:24
Speaker 2: cells in the interior of the producing organism, and which
1:27
Speaker 2: becomes further developed after it has come out of its parent.
1:31
Speaker 2: Sexual or amphigonic propagation amphigonia is the usual method of
1:36
Speaker 2: propagation among all higher animals and plants. It is evident
1:40
Speaker 2: that it has only developed at a very late period
1:42
Speaker 2: of the Earth's history from non sexual propagation, and apparently,
1:46
Speaker 2: in the first instance, from the method of propagation by
1:49
Speaker 2: germ cells.
1:51
Speaker 3: In all the chief.
1:51
Speaker 2: Forms of non sexual propagation mentioned above in fision, in
1:56
Speaker 2: the formation of bads, germbads, and germ cells, the separated
2:00
Speaker 2: cell or group of cells was able by itself to
2:03
Speaker 2: develop into a new individual. But in the case of
2:06
Speaker 2: sexual propagation, the cell must first be fructified by another
2:10
Speaker 2: generative substance. The fructifying sperm must first mix with a
2:15
Speaker 2: germ cell the egg, before the latter can develop into
2:19
Speaker 2: a new individual. These two generative substances, the sperm and
2:23
Speaker 2: the egg, are either produced by one and the same
2:26
Speaker 2: individual hermaphrodite hermaphroditismus, or by two different individuals. Sexual separation
2:34
Speaker 2: the simpler and more ancient form of sexual propagation is
2:37
Speaker 2: through double sex individuals. It occurs in the great majority
2:41
Speaker 2: of plants, but only in a minority of animals. For example,
2:45
Speaker 2: in the gardens, nails, liches, earth worms, and many other worms.
2:49
Speaker 2: Every single individual among hermaphrodites produces within itself materials of
2:54
Speaker 2: both sexes, eggs and sperm. In most of the higher plants,
2:58
Speaker 2: every blossom contains means both the male organ stamins and
3:02
Speaker 2: anther and the female organ style and germ. Every garden
3:06
Speaker 2: snail produces in one part of its sexual gland eggs
3:11
Speaker 2: and in another part sperm. Many hermaphrodites can fructify themselves
3:16
Speaker 2: in others, However, reciprocal fructification of both hermaphrodites is necessary
3:21
Speaker 2: for causing the development of the eggs. This latter case
3:24
Speaker 2: is evidently transitioned to sexual suporation. Sexual separation, which characterizes
3:30
Speaker 2: the more complicated of the two kinds of sexual reproduction,
3:32
Speaker 2: has evidently been developed from the condition of hermaphroditism at
3:36
Speaker 2: the late period of the organic history of the world.
3:39
Speaker 2: It is at present the universal method of propagation of
3:42
Speaker 2: the higher animals. The so called virginal reproduction. Parthenogenesis offers
3:47
Speaker 2: an interesting form of transition from sexual reproduction to the
3:50
Speaker 2: non sexual formation of germ cells, which most resembles it.
3:55
Speaker 2: In this case, germ cells, which otherwise appear and are
3:58
Speaker 2: formed exactly like a egg cells, become capable of developing
4:02
Speaker 2: themselves into new individuals without requiring the fructifying seed. The
4:07
Speaker 2: most remarkable and the most instructive of the different parthenogenetic
4:11
Speaker 2: phenomena are furnished by those cases in which the same
4:14
Speaker 2: germ cells, according as they are fructified or not, produce
4:19
Speaker 2: different kinds of individuals. Among our common honey bees, a
4:23
Speaker 2: male individual a drone arises out of the eggs of
4:26
Speaker 2: the queen if the egg has not been fructified, a
4:29
Speaker 2: female a queen or working bee if the egg has
4:32
Speaker 2: been fructified. It is evident from this that in reality
4:36
Speaker 2: there exists no wide chasm between sexual and non sexual reproduction,
4:40
Speaker 2: but that both models of reproduction are directly connected. Now,
4:45
Speaker 2: the interesting fact in connection with the evolution of third
4:48
Speaker 2: race man and limuria is that his mode of reproduction
4:52
Speaker 2: run through phases which were closely analogous with some of
4:55
Speaker 2: the processes above described. Sweat born, egg born and andro
5:00
Speaker 2: progeny are the terms used in the Secret Doctrine quote.
5:04
Speaker 2: Almost sexless in its early beginnings, it became bisexual or
5:09
Speaker 2: androgenous very gradually, of course, The passage from the former
5:14
Speaker 2: to the latter transformation required numberless generations, during which the
5:18
Speaker 2: simple cell that issued from the earliest parent the two
5:22
Speaker 2: in one, first developed into a bisexual being, and then
5:26
Speaker 2: the cell, becoming a regular egg, gave forth a unisexual creature.
5:31
Speaker 2: The third race, mankind, is the most mysterious of all
5:34
Speaker 2: the hitherto developed five races. The mystery of the how
5:38
Speaker 2: of the generation of the distinct sexes must of course
5:41
Speaker 2: be very obscure here, as it is the business of
5:44
Speaker 2: an embryologist and a specialist. The present work giving only
5:47
Speaker 2: faint outlines of the process. But it is evident that
5:51
Speaker 2: the units of the third race, humanity, began to separate
5:54
Speaker 2: in their prenatal shells or eggs, and to issue out
5:57
Speaker 2: of them as distinct male and female babes ages after
6:01
Speaker 2: the appearance of its early progenitors, and as time rolled
6:04
Speaker 2: on its geological periods, the newly born sub races began
6:08
Speaker 2: to lose their natal capacities. Toward the end of the
6:11
Speaker 2: fourth sub race, the babe lost its faculty of walking
6:14
Speaker 2: as soon as liberated from its shell, and by the
6:17
Speaker 2: end of the fifth mankind was borne under the same
6:19
Speaker 2: conditions and by the same identical process as our historical generations.
6:24
Speaker 2: This required, of course, millions of years Limurian races still
6:31
Speaker 2: inhabiting the earth. It may be as well again to
6:34
Speaker 2: repeat that the almost mindless creatures who inhabited such bodies
6:38
Speaker 2: as have been above described during the early sub races
6:41
Speaker 2: of the Limurian period can scarcely be regarded as completely human.
6:45
Speaker 2: It was only after the separation of the sexes, when
6:48
Speaker 2: their bodies had become densely physical, that they became human
6:52
Speaker 2: even in appearance. It must be remembered that the beings
6:55
Speaker 2: we are speaking of, though embracing the second and third
6:57
Speaker 2: groups of the lunar pe trees, must also have been
7:00
Speaker 2: largely recruited from the animal kingdom of that the lunar
7:04
Speaker 2: manvantera that degraded. Remnants of the third root race, who
7:08
Speaker 2: still inhabit the earth may be recognized in the Aborigines
7:11
Speaker 2: of Australia, the ander Man Islanders, some hill tribes of India,
7:16
Speaker 2: the Tierra del f Wagens, the bushmen of Africa and
7:20
Speaker 2: some other savage tribes.
7:22
Speaker 3: The entities now.
7:22
Speaker 2: Inhabiting these bodies must have belonged to the animal kingdom
7:26
Speaker 2: in the early part of this manvantera. It was probably
7:30
Speaker 2: during the evolution of the Lemurian rays, and before the
7:32
Speaker 2: door was shut on the entities thronging up from below,
7:36
Speaker 2: that these attained the human kingdom scene of the mindless.
7:41
Speaker 2: The shameful acts of the mindless men at the first
7:44
Speaker 2: separation of the sexes had best be referred to in
7:47
Speaker 2: the words of the Stanzas of the Archaic Book of Jian.
7:51
Speaker 2: Now commentaries needed. During the third race, the boneless animals grew.
7:56
Speaker 2: When changed, they became animals with bows. Their chayads became solid.
8:03
Speaker 2: The animals separated first, they began to breed. The twofold
8:09
Speaker 2: men separated also. He said, let us as they let
8:13
Speaker 2: us unite and make creatures. They did, and those that
8:18
Speaker 2: had no spark took huge she animals unto them. They
8:22
Speaker 2: begat upon them dumb races. Dumb they were themselves, but
8:27
Speaker 2: their tongues untied. The tongues of their progeny remained still monsters.
8:33
Speaker 2: They bred a race of crooked red hair covered monsters,
8:37
Speaker 2: going on all fords a dam race to keep the
8:40
Speaker 2: shame untold unquote and an ancient commentary odds. When the
8:45
Speaker 2: third separated and fell into sin by breeding men animals.
8:49
Speaker 2: These the animals became ferocious and men, and they mutually
8:54
Speaker 2: destructive till then there was no sin, no life taken,
9:00
Speaker 2: seeing which the Lahs, who had not built men, wept, saying,
9:06
Speaker 2: the amanassa, mindless, have.
9:08
Speaker 3: Defiled our future abodes.
9:11
Speaker 2: This is karma. Let us dwell in the others. Let
9:15
Speaker 2: us teach them better, lest words should happen.
9:18
Speaker 3: They did.
9:20
Speaker 2: Then all men became endowed with manners. They saw the
9:23
Speaker 2: scene of the mindless origin of the pithecoid and the
9:29
Speaker 2: anthropoid apes. The anatomical resemblance between man and the higher ape,
9:34
Speaker 2: so frequently cited by Darwinists as pointing to some ancestor
9:38
Speaker 2: common to both, presents an interesting problem, the proper solution
9:42
Speaker 2: of which is to be sought for in the esoteric
9:45
Speaker 2: explanation of the genesis of the pithecoid stalks. Now we
9:49
Speaker 2: gather from the secret doctrine that the descendants of the
9:52
Speaker 2: semi human monsters described above as originating in the scene
9:56
Speaker 2: of the mindless, having through long centuries dwindled in sight
10:00
Speaker 2: and become more densely physical, culminated in a race of
10:04
Speaker 2: apes at the time of the Miocene period, from which
10:07
Speaker 2: in their turn are descended the pithecoids of today. With
10:11
Speaker 2: these apes of the Miocene period, however, the Atlanteans of
10:15
Speaker 2: that age renewed the scene of the mindless, this time
10:18
Speaker 2: with full responsibility, and the resultants of their crime are
10:22
Speaker 2: the species of apes now known as anthropoid. We are
10:25
Speaker 2: given to understand that in the coming sixth trut Rays
10:29
Speaker 2: these anthropoids will obtain human incarnation in the bodies, doubtless
10:33
Speaker 2: of the lowest races than existing upon Earth. That part
10:37
Speaker 2: of the Lemurian continent, where the separation of the sexes
10:40
Speaker 2: took place, and where both the fourth and the fifth
10:42
Speaker 2: sub races flourished, is to be found in the earlier
10:45
Speaker 2: of the two maps. It lay to the east of
10:48
Speaker 2: the mountainous region of which the present island of Madagascar
10:51
Speaker 2: formed apart, and thus occupied a central position around the
10:54
Speaker 2: smaller of the two great lakes. Origin of language, as
10:59
Speaker 2: stated in the Stanzas of Jian above, quoted the men
11:03
Speaker 2: of that epoch, even though they had become completely physical,
11:06
Speaker 2: still remained speechless. Naturally, the astral and ethereal ancestors of
11:11
Speaker 2: this third root race had no need to produce a
11:13
Speaker 2: series of sounds in order to convey their thoughts, living
11:16
Speaker 2: as they did in astral and ethereal conditions. But when
11:19
Speaker 2: man became physical, he could not for long remain dumb.
11:23
Speaker 2: We are told that the sounds which these primitive men
11:25
Speaker 2: made to express their thoughts were at first composed entirely
11:29
Speaker 2: of vowels. In the slow course of evolution, the consonant
11:33
Speaker 2: sounds gradually came into use, But the development of language
11:37
Speaker 2: from first to last on the continent of Limuria never
11:40
Speaker 2: reached beyond the monosyllabic face. The Chinese language of today
11:45
Speaker 2: is the sole great lineal descendant of anciently Murian speech.
11:49
Speaker 2: For quote, the whole human race was at that time
11:52
Speaker 2: of one language and one leap unquote. In Humboldt's classification
11:58
Speaker 2: of language, the Chinese we know is called the isolating
12:02
Speaker 2: as distinguished from the more highly evolved to a glutinative
12:06
Speaker 2: and the still more highly evolved inflectional. Readers of the
12:09
Speaker 2: story of Atlantis may remember that many different languages were
12:13
Speaker 2: developed on that continent, but all belongs to the agglutinative, or,
12:18
Speaker 2: as Maxmuller prefers to call it, the combinatory type, while
12:22
Speaker 2: the still higher development of inflectional speech in the Aryan
12:26
Speaker 2: and Semitic tongues was reserved for our own era of
12:31
Speaker 2: the fee Throut race. The first taking of life the
12:35
Speaker 2: first instance of sin. The first taking of life, quoted
12:39
Speaker 2: above from an old commentary on the Stanzas of Jean,
12:42
Speaker 2: may be taken as indicative of the attitude which was
12:46
Speaker 2: then inaugurated between the human and the animal kingdom, and
12:49
Speaker 2: which has since attained such awful proportions not only between
12:53
Speaker 2: men and animals, but between the different races of men themselves.
12:57
Speaker 2: And this opens up a most interesting avenue of things.
13:00
Speaker 2: The fact that kings and emperors consider it necessary or appropriate,
13:04
Speaker 2: on all state occasions to appear in the gob of
13:07
Speaker 2: one of the fighting branches of their service is a
13:10
Speaker 2: significant indication of the apotheosis reached by the combative qualities
13:14
Speaker 2: in man. The custom doubtless comes down from a time
13:18
Speaker 2: when the king was the warrior chief, and when his
13:21
Speaker 2: kingship was acknowledged solely in virtue of his being the
13:24
Speaker 2: chief warrior. But now that the fifth root race is
13:28
Speaker 2: in ascendancy, whose chief characteristic and function is the development
13:32
Speaker 2: of intellect, it might have been expected that the dominant
13:35
Speaker 2: attribute of the fourth root race would have been a
13:38
Speaker 2: little less conspicuously parvaded. But the era of one race
13:42
Speaker 2: overlaps another. And though as we know, the leading races
13:46
Speaker 2: of the world all belong to the fifth root race,
13:48
Speaker 2: the vast majority of its inhabitants still belonged to the
13:51
Speaker 2: fourth And it would appear that the fifth root race
13:54
Speaker 2: has not yet outstripped Fourth race characteristics, for it is
13:58
Speaker 2: by infinitely slow degree ease that man's evolution is accomplished.
14:03
Speaker 3: It will be interesting here.
14:04
Speaker 2: To summarize the history of this strife and bloodshed from
14:07
Speaker 2: its genesis during these far off ages of the Muria.
14:11
Speaker 2: From the information placed before the writer, it would seem
14:14
Speaker 2: that the antagonism between men and animals was developed first
14:18
Speaker 2: with the evolution of man's physical body. Suitable food for
14:21
Speaker 2: the body naturally became an urgent need, so that, in
14:25
Speaker 2: addition to the antagonism brought about by the necessity of
14:28
Speaker 2: self defense against the now ferocious animals, the desire of
14:32
Speaker 2: food also urged men to their slaughter, and as we
14:35
Speaker 2: have seen above, one of the first uses they made
14:38
Speaker 2: of their body mentality was to train animals to act
14:41
Speaker 2: as hundreds in the chase. The element of strife having
14:44
Speaker 2: once been kindled, men soon began to use weapons of
14:47
Speaker 2: offense against each other. The causes of aggression were naturally
14:52
Speaker 2: the same as those which exist today among savage communities,
14:56
Speaker 2: the possession of any desirable object by one of his
14:59
Speaker 2: fellow with sufficient inducement for a man to attempt to
15:03
Speaker 2: take it by force. Nor was strife limited to single
15:06
Speaker 2: acts of aggression, as among savages. To day, bands of
15:10
Speaker 2: marauders would attack and pillage the communities who dwelt at
15:14
Speaker 2: a distance from their own village. But to this extent
15:16
Speaker 2: only we are told, was warfare organized on the Muria.
15:20
Speaker 2: Even turn to the end of its seventh sub rays.
15:23
Speaker 2: It was reserved for the Atlanteans to develop the principle
15:26
Speaker 2: of strife on organized lines, to collect and to drill armies,
15:30
Speaker 2: and to build navies. This principle of strife was indeed
15:33
Speaker 2: the fundamental characteristic of the Fourth Root race. All through
15:37
Speaker 2: the Atlantean period, as we know, warfare was the order
15:40
Speaker 2: of the day, and battles were constantly fought on land
15:43
Speaker 2: and sea, and so deeply rooted in man's nature. During
15:46
Speaker 2: the Atlantean period did this principle of strife become that
15:50
Speaker 2: even now the most intellectually developed of the Aryan races
15:53
Speaker 2: are ready to war upon each.
15:55
Speaker 3: Other the arts.
15:58
Speaker 2: To trace the development of the arts among the Lemurions,
16:01
Speaker 2: we must start with the history of the fifth sub race.
16:04
Speaker 2: The separation of the sexes was now fully accomplished, and
16:07
Speaker 2: man inhabited a completely physical body, though it was still
16:11
Speaker 2: of gigantic stature. The offensive and defensive war with the
16:16
Speaker 2: monstrous beasts of prey had already begun, and men had
16:19
Speaker 2: taken to living in hats. To build their hats, they
16:22
Speaker 2: tore down trees and piled them up in a rude fashion.
16:26
Speaker 2: At first, each separate family lived in its own clearing
16:30
Speaker 2: in the jungle, but they soon found it safer as
16:33
Speaker 2: a defense against the wild beasts to draw together and
16:35
Speaker 2: live in small communities.
16:38
Speaker 3: Their hats, too, which had.
16:39
Speaker 2: Been formed of rude trunks of trees, they now learned
16:43
Speaker 2: to build with boulders of stone, While the weapons with
16:46
Speaker 2: which they attacked or defended themselves against the dinosauria and
16:50
Speaker 2: other wild beasts were spears of sharpened wood, similar to
16:54
Speaker 2: the staff held by the man whose appearances described above.
16:58
Speaker 2: Up to this time, agriculture was unknown, and the uses
17:01
Speaker 2: of fire had not been discovered. The food of their
17:04
Speaker 2: bondless ancestors, who crowled on the earth were such things
17:08
Speaker 2: as they could find on the surface of the ground
17:11
Speaker 2: or just below it. Now that they walked erect many
17:14
Speaker 2: of the wild forest trees provided them with nuts and berries,
17:17
Speaker 2: but their chief article of food was the flesh of
17:20
Speaker 2: the beasts and reptiles, which this flew tore in pieces
17:23
Speaker 2: and devoured. Teachers of the Lemurian race. But now there
17:28
Speaker 2: occurred an event pregnant with consequences, the most momentous in
17:32
Speaker 2: the history of the human race, An event too full
17:35
Speaker 2: of mystical import for its narration brings into view beings
17:38
Speaker 2: who belonged to entirely different systems of evolution, and who
17:42
Speaker 2: nevertheless came at this epoch to be associated with our humanity.
17:46
Speaker 2: The lament of the las who had not built men,
17:49
Speaker 2: at seeing their future abodes defiled, is at first sight
17:53
Speaker 2: far from intelligible, Though the descent of these beings into
17:56
Speaker 2: human bodies is not the chief event to which we
17:59
Speaker 2: have to refer. Some explanation of its cause in its
18:02
Speaker 2: result must first be attempted. Now we are given to
18:05
Speaker 2: understand that these laws were the highly evolved humanity of
18:09
Speaker 2: some system of evolution which had run its course at
18:12
Speaker 2: a period in the infinitely far off past.
18:15
Speaker 3: They had reached a high.
18:16
Speaker 2: Stage of development on their chain of worlds, and since
18:19
Speaker 2: its dissolution, had passed the intervening ages in the place
18:23
Speaker 2: of some nirvanic condition. But their karma now necessitated a
18:27
Speaker 2: return to some field of action and of physical causes,
18:31
Speaker 2: and thus they had not yet fully learned the lesson
18:33
Speaker 2: of compassion. Their temporary task now lay in becoming guides
18:37
Speaker 2: and teachers of the Luomunian race, who then required all
18:40
Speaker 2: the help and guidance they could get. But other beings
18:44
Speaker 2: also took up the task, in this case voluntarily. These
18:48
Speaker 2: came from the scheme of evolution, which has Venus as
18:51
Speaker 2: its one physical planet. That scheme has already reached the
18:55
Speaker 2: seventh round of its planets in its fifth man Ventara.
18:58
Speaker 2: Its humanity therefore stands at a far higher level than
19:02
Speaker 2: ordinary mankind on this Earth has yet attained. They are divine,
19:07
Speaker 2: while we are only human. The Lemurians, as we have seen,
19:11
Speaker 2: were then merely on the verge of attaining true manhood.
19:14
Speaker 2: It was to supply a temporary need the education of
19:17
Speaker 2: our infant humanity, that these divine beings came, as we
19:21
Speaker 2: possibly long ages hence may similarly be called to give
19:25
Speaker 2: a helping hand to the beings strangling up to manhood
19:28
Speaker 2: on the.
19:28
Speaker 3: Jupiter or the Saturn chain.
19:31
Speaker 2: Under their guidance and influence, the Lemurians rapidly advanced in
19:35
Speaker 2: mental growth. The steering of their minds with feelings of
19:39
Speaker 2: love and reverence for those whom they felt to be
19:41
Speaker 2: infinitely wiser and greater than themselves naturally resulted in efforts
19:46
Speaker 2: of imitation, and so the necessary advance in mental growth
19:50
Speaker 2: was achieved, which transformed the higher mental sheath into a
19:54
Speaker 2: vehicle capable of carrying over the human characteristics from life
19:59
Speaker 2: to life, thus warranting that outpouring of the divine life
20:03
Speaker 2: which endowed the recipient with individual immortality, as expressed in
20:08
Speaker 2: the archaic Stanzas of Jean quote, then all men became
20:12
Speaker 2: endowed with manners unquote. A great distinction, however, must be
20:17
Speaker 2: noted between the coming of the exalted beings from the
20:20
Speaker 2: Venus scheme and that of those described as the highly
20:23
Speaker 2: evolved humanity of some previous system of evolution. The former,
20:27
Speaker 2: as we have seen, were under no karamic impulse. They
20:31
Speaker 2: came as men to leave and work among them, but
20:34
Speaker 2: they were not required to assume their physical limitations, being
20:38
Speaker 2: in a position to provide appropriate vehicles for themselves. The laws,
20:42
Speaker 2: on the other hand, had actually to be borne in
20:45
Speaker 2: the bodies of the race as it then existed. Better
20:48
Speaker 2: would it have been, both for them and for the
20:51
Speaker 2: race if there had been no hesitation or delay on
20:54
Speaker 2: their part in taking up their karmic task, for the
20:57
Speaker 2: sin of them mindless and all its consequence vicies would
21:00
Speaker 2: have been avoided.
21:02
Speaker 3: Their task, too, would have.
21:03
Speaker 2: Been an easier one, for it consisted not only in
21:06
Speaker 2: acting as guides and teachers, but in improving the racial type,
21:10
Speaker 2: in short, in evolving out of the half human half
21:13
Speaker 2: animal form then existing the physical body of the man
21:16
Speaker 2: to be. It must be remembered that up to this
21:19
Speaker 2: time the Lemurian race consisted of the second and third
21:23
Speaker 2: groups of the lunar pea trees, but now that they
21:25
Speaker 2: were approaching the level reached on the lunar chain by
21:28
Speaker 2: the first group of petrees, it became necessary for these
21:31
Speaker 2: again to return to incarnation, and these they did all
21:35
Speaker 2: through the fifth, sixth, and seventh sub races. Indeed, some
21:39
Speaker 2: did not take birth till the Atlantic period, so that
21:42
Speaker 2: the impetus given to the progress of the race was
21:45
Speaker 2: a cumulative force. The positions occupied by the divine beings
21:49
Speaker 2: from the Venus Chain were naturally those of rulers, instructors
21:53
Speaker 2: in religion, and.
21:55
Speaker 3: Teachers of the arts.
21:56
Speaker 2: And it is in this latter capacity that a reference
21:59
Speaker 2: to the arts taught by them comes to our aid
22:02
Speaker 2: in the consideration of the history of this early race.
