What are the Root Races and Subraces?

The following is an outline for reference while studying the history of the humanities that have live
planet. Regarding the veracity of the following information, we remind the reader of what Blavatsk
observed:

"In our own day we witness the stupendous fact that such comparatively recent personag
Shakespeare and William Tell are all but denied, an attempt being made to show one to
plume, and the other a person who never existed. What wonder then, that the two power
Lemurians and the Atlanteans -- have been merged into and identified, in time, with a few
peoples, who all bore the same patronymic?" - The Secret Doctrine

Therefore, let us remember that our "official" history is no more a series of facts than the daily new
know that the newspaper is nothing but manipulated opinions.

Cosmic Days and Nights

Creation unfolds as a series of epochs. For each epoch there is a day and a night.

During your life, you experience day and night. Similarly, from a higher point of view, your entire li
death is the entrance into night. After night passes, a new day arrives: a new existence. The same
worlds. And the scalable view also applies: for a planet has its days and night, and its lives...

Related to this humanity, there are have been many days and nights. We are now in the middle of
Day (Sanskrit: Mahamanvantara). We are in the fourth day, or fourth manvantara (period of time) o
are seven cycles or rounds within each day.

But within this fourth round, there are smaller measurements to be made. For this current humani

in Egypt, in Mexico...
Root Races of the Fourth Terrestrial Round
Polar Race
The first Root Race of this terrestrial humanity.

"The Aztecs state that the human beings of the first Root Race were extraordinary, dark-colored giants. This
civilized, androgynous, asexual, semi-physical, semi-ethereal Root Race. Their individuals could reduce thei

Hyberborean Race
A nation mentioned in Greek mythology. The name means “beyond the North Wind,” thus they are
have been somewhere north of Greece, but the name also means “beyond the mountains” and “t
(merchandise) across.” Apollo was said to spend the winter months among them, and his mother L
presumed to have been born in their land. Perseus went there searching for the Gorgon, and Her
Cerynitian hind to their country. The writer Pindar represented them as a blessed people untouch
afflictions. H. P. Blavatsky places their country around the North Pole, saying it was “The Land of t
beyond Boreas, the God of Winter. She asserts that this land was of a near tropical climate. In Uni
Gnosticism, they are known to be the Second Root Race of this Terrestrial Humanity.

The second Root Race was governed by Quetzalcoatl; this was the Hyperborean humanity. The degenerate
second Root Race converted themselves into monkeys; these are the ancestors of present monkeys. They
themselves by budding, such as the plants do: from their trunk sprout many branches. They were wiped ou
hurricanes. - Samael Aun Weor, The Kabbalah of the Mayan Mysteries

Lemurian Race
The third Root Race was the Lemurian race, which inhabited Mu, which today is the Pacif

Aztec God Tlaloc. Their reproduction was by means of gemmation. Lemuria was a very
continent. The Lemurians who degenerated had, afterwards, faces similar to birds; this is

Kabbalah of the Mayan Mysteries

Atlantean Race

The Atlanteans, who had bodies which were three meters in stature, created a very powe
The Atlantean continent was immense; it extended from the south to the north, from the A
the Septentrional. This Atlantean Root Race had its four seasons, or ages.
During their spring or Golden Age, borders and passports were unnecessary. Frontiers d

The Atlanteans had degenerated a great deal and had now started using their awesome

Aryan Race

Quoted from Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary: “From Sanskrit [=a]rya excellent,
to the name of the country Iran, and perh. to Erin, Ireland, and the early name of this peo
Asia. 1. One of a primitive people supposed to have lived in prehistoric times, in Central A
Caspian Sea, and north of the Hindoo Koosh and Paropamisan Mountains, and to have b
from which sprang the Hindoo, Persian, Greek, Latin, Celtic, Teutonic, Slavonic, and other
that ethnological division of mankind called also Indo-European or Indo-Germanic.”

In Universal Gnosticism, this term "Aryan Race" refers to the vast majority of the popluation of this
noted for its close relationship with Ares or Mars, the God of War. The Aryan race, the fifth great ra
this planet, is under the guidance of Ares, Mars, the Fifth of the "Seven Spirits before the Throne o

Every Root Race has seven Subraces. The seed of our Aryan Root Race is Nordic, but wh

First Subrace: It flourished in central Asia, in those now vanished kingdoms of central As
ruins still exist in the Himalayas around the country of Tibet. Powerful spiritual civilization
Aryan Subrace existed in those regions.
Second Subrace: It flourished in India and the entire south of Asia. In Pearland, the sacre
Vedas, in the ancient Hindustan, where the second Aryan Subrace developed, formidabl
cultures and tremendous civilizations existed.
 Third Subrace: It created powerful civilizations. Babylon, Chaldea, Egypt, etc., etc. were t
very rich and powerful civilizations created by the third Aryan Subrace.
Fourth Subrace: It developed in Rome, Greece, Italy, and Athens, the great city founded
Athena. Before their degeneration and destruction, Greece and Italy were marvelous sce
the powerful civilizations of the fourth Aryan Subrace developed.
Fifth Subrace: Are the Anglo-Saxon and Teutonic. The First and Second World Wars, with
barbarism and moral corruption, point with their accusatory fingers to the men and wome
Aryan Subrace.
Sixth Subrace: The mixture of the Spanish Conquistadors with the Native-American tribe

ignored by the treatisers of anthropogenesis and occultism.
Seventh Subrace: The survivors of the new great cataclysm that soon will destroy this Ar

So, this Aryan Root Race, instead of evolving, has devolved, and its corruption is now worse than that of the
epoch. Its wickedness is so great that it has reached unto heaven. - Samael Aun Weor, The Kabbalah of the
