THE SEVEN ROOT RACES OF MANKIND

ROOT RACES OF THEOSOPHY

1) Polarians -
The first root race was primarily spiritual (Astral/Etheric), and did not
leave physical remains.

2) Hyperboreans –
The second, Hyperborean root-race (a continuation of the first) was semi-
astral, but grew denser and more opaque with each passing age. Towards its
end, it became more gelatinous and filamentoid in structure, and developed
the rudimentary beginnings of bones and organs, hair and skin. Although still
more or less ovoid in form, it began to show the first outlines of the later
human form. However, towards its end, its bodies passed through many
curious, part-animal forms.

3) Lemurians –
The Lemurians were the first with physical bodies. They were described as a
race of three eyed giants and inhabited a "lost continent" of Lemuria which is
where the Indian and Pacific oceans now are. Modern theosophists
sometimes identify Lemuria with the actual ancient supercontinent of
Gondwana. Others may refer to it as "Mu".

4) Atlanteans –
The Atlantean Root Race includes the following sub-races:
1) Rohmahls
2) Tlavatlis
3) Toltecs
4) First Turanians
5) Original Semites
6) Akkadians
7) Mongolians

5) Aryans
The constituent "sub-races" of the Aryan (5th or present) Root
Race include the following:
1) Hindus
2) Sumerians
3) Egyptians
4) Hellenes (Greeks & Romans)
5) Europeans
6) Nova men
7) Indigo Children & Star Children

6) 6th Root Race (Seal)

7) 7th Root Race (Trumpet)

NOTE: At the end of the Seventh Root Race the Human period of activity on
Earth will cease and a planetary period of rest will begin. The Human Life-
Wave will then transfer to Mars (Globe E).
