CHAPTER XXVII

CONCLUSION
The Federation of Nations
The whole object of this investigation was to obtain such information as was possible about the beginnings of the Sixth Root-Race and the community founded by the Manu and the High-Priest for that purpose. Naturally therefore no special attention was directed to any other part of the world than this. Notwithstanding, certain glimpses of other parts were obtained incidentally, and it will perhaps be interesting to note these ; but they are put down without attempt at order or completeness, just as they were observed.
Practically the whole world has federated itself politically. Europe seems to be a Confederation with a kind of Reichstag, to which all countries send representatives. This central body adjusts matters, and the Kings of the various countries are Presi¬ dents of the Confederation in rotation. The re¬ arrangement of political machinery by which this wonderful change has been brought about is the work of Julius Caesar, who reincarnated some time in the twentieth century in connection with the com¬ ing of the Christ to reproclaim the WISDOM.
CONCLUSION
455
Enormous improvements have been made in all directions, and one cannot but be struck with the extraordinary abundance of wealth that must have been lavished upon these. Caesar, when he succeeds in forming the Federation and persuades all the countries to give up war, arranges that each of them shall set aside for a certain number of
years half or a third of the money that it has been accustomed to spend upon armaments, and
devote it to certain social improvements which he specifies. According to his scheme the taxation of the entire world is gradually reduced, but not¬ withstanding, sufficient money is reserved to feed all the poor, to destroy all the slums, and to introduce wonderful improvements into all the cities. He arranges that those countries in which compulsory military service has been the rule shall for a
time still preserve the habit, but shall make their conscripts work for the State in the making of parks and roads and the pulling down of slums and the opening up of communications everywhere. He arranges that the old burdens shall be gradually eased off, but yet contrives with what is left of them to regenerate the world. He is indeed a great man ; a most marvellous genius.
There seems to have been some trouble at
first and some preliminary quarrelling, but he gets together an exceedingly capable band of people — a kind of cabinet of all the best organisers whom the world has produced — reincarnations of Napoleon, Scipio Africanus, Akbar and others — one of the finest bodies of men for practical work that has ever been seen. The thing is done on a gorgeous
456 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
scale. When all the Kings and prime ministers are gathered together to decide upon the basis for the Confederation, Caesar builds for the occasion a circular hall with a great number of doors so that all may enter at once, and no one Potentate take precedence of another.
The Religion of the Christ
Caesar arranges all the machinery of this wonderful revolution, but his work is largely made possible by the arrival and preaching of the Christ Himself, so we have here a new era in all senses, not merely in outward arrangement, but in inner feeling as well. All this is long ago from the point of view of the time at which we are looking, and the Christ is now becoming somewhat mythical to the people, much as He was to many people at the beginning of the twentieth century. The religion of the world now is that which He founded ; that is the Religion, and there is no other of any real importance, though there are still some survivals, of which the world at large is somewhat contemptuously tolerant, regarding them as fancy religions or curious superstitions. There are a few people who represent the older form of Christianity — who in the name of the Christ re¬ fused to receive Him when He came in a new form. The majority regard these people as hopelessly out-of-date. On the whole the state of affairs all the world over is obviously much more satis¬ factory than in the earlier civilisations. Armies and navies have disappeared, or are only represented
CONCLUSION
457
by a kind of small force used for police purposes. Poverty also has practically disappeared from civilised lands ; all slums in the great cities have been pulled down, and their places taken, not by other buildings, but by parks and gardens.
The New Language
This curious altered form of English, written in a kind of short-hand with many gram- malogues, has been adopted as a universal com¬ mercial and literary language. Ordinarily educated people in every country know it in addition to their own, and indeed it is obvious that among the upper and commercial classes it is rapidly superseding the tongues of the different countries. Naturally the common people in every country still speak their old tongue, but even they recognise that the first step towards getting on in the world is to learn the universal language. The great majority of books, for example, are printed only in that, unless they are intended especially to appeal to the uneducated. In this way it is now possible for a book to have a much wider circulation than it could ever
have had before. There are still university profes¬ sors and learned men who know all the old languages, but they are a small minority, and
all the specially good books of all languages have
long ago been translated into this universal tongue.
In every country there is a large body of
middle and upper class people who know no other language, or know only the few words of the language of the country which are necessary in
59
458 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
order to communicate with servants and labourers. One thing which has greatly contributed to this change is this new and improved method of writing and printing, which was first introduced in connection with the English language and is therefore more adapted to it than others. In our community all books are printed on pale sea-green paper in dark blue ink, the theory being apparently that this is less trying to the eyes than the old scheme of black on white. The same plan is being widely adopted in the rest of the world. Civilised rule or colonisation has spread over many parts of the world which formerly were savage and chaotic ; indeed almost no real savages are now to be seen.
The Old Nations
People have by no means yet transcended national feelings. The countries no longer fight with one another, but each nation still thinks of itself with pride. The greatest advantage is that they are not now afraid of one another,
and that there is no suspicion, and therefore far greater fraternity. But on the whole, people have not changed much ; it is only that now the better side of them has more opportunity
to display itself. There has not as yet been
much mingling of the nations; the bulk of the people still marry in their own neighbourhood, for those who till the soil almost always tend to stay in the same place. Crime appears occasionally, but there is much less of it than of old, because the people on the whole know more than they did, and chiefly because they are much more content.
CONCLUSION
459
The new religion has spread widely and its influence is undoubtedly strong. It is an entirely scientific religion, so that though religion and science are still separate institutions, they are no longer in opposition as they used to be. Naturally people are still arguing, though the subjects are not those which we know so well. For example, they discuss the different kinds of spirit-communion, and quarrel as to whether it is safe to listen to any spooks except those who have been authorised and guaranteed by the orthodox authorities of the time. Schools exist every¬ where, but are no longer under the control of the Church, which educates no one except those who are to be its own preachers. Ordinary philanthropy is not needed, since there is practically no poverty. There are still hospitals, and they are all Govern¬ ment institutions. All necessaries of life are con¬ trolled, so that there can be no serious fluctuations in their price. All sorts of luxuries and unnecessary things are still left in the hands of private trade — objects of art, and things of that kind. But even with this, there is not so much competition as division of business ; if a certain man opens a shop for the sale of ornaments and such things, another one is not likely to start in business close by, simply because there would not be enough trade for the two ; but there is no curtailing of liberty with regard to that.
Land and Mines
The conditions as to the ownership of private land and of mines and factories are much changed. A large amount at least of the land is held nominally
460 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
from the King, on some sort -of lease by which it reverts to him unconditionally at the end of a thousand years, but he has the right to resume it at any intervening period if he chooses, with certain compensations. In the meantime it may descend from father to son, or be sold or divided, but never without the consent of the authorities. There are also considerable restrictions as to many of these estates, referring to what kind of buildings may be erected on them. All factories for necessaries are State property, but still there is no restriction which prevents anyone from starting a similar factory if he likes. There is still some mining, but much less than of old. The cavities and galleries of many of the old mines in the northern parts of Europe are now used as sanatoria for the rare cases of consumption or bronchial or other affec¬ tions, because of their equal temperature in summer and winter. There are also arrangements for raising metal from great depths, which cannot exactly be called mines, for they are much more like wells. This may be considered a modern and improved type of mine. Little of the work is done down below by human beings ; rather machines excavate, cut out huge slices and lift them. All these are State property in the ultimate, but in many cases private owners rent them from the State. Iron is burnt out of various earths in some way, and the material is obtained with less trouble than of old.
The Government of Britain
The Government of England has been consider¬ ably changed. All real power is in the hands
CONCLUSION
461
of the King, though there are ministers in charge of separate departments. There is no parliament, but there is a scheme the working of which is not easy fully to comprehend in the rapid glimpse which is all that we had. It is something more or less of the nature of the referendum. Everybody has a right to make representations, and these pass through the hands of a body of officials whose business it is to receive com¬ plaints or petitions. If these representations show any injustice, it is rapidly set right without re¬ ference to the higher authorities. Every such petition is attended to if it can be shown to be reasonable, but it does not usually penetrate to the King himself, unless there are many requests for the same thing. The Monarchy is still hereditary, still ruling by the claim of descent from Cerdic. The British Empire appears to be much as in the twentieth century, but it was an earlier federation than the greater one, and it naturally acknowledges permanently one King, while the World-Federation is constantly changing its President. Some of what used to be Colonial Governors now hold their offices by heredity, and are like tributary Monarchs.
London
London still exists, and is larger than ever, but much changed, for now all over the world there are no fires, and consequently no smoke. Some of the old streets and squares are still re¬ cognisable in general outline, but there has been a vast amount of pulling-down, and improvements
462 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
upon a large scale. S. Paul’s Cathedral is still
there, preserved with great care as an ancient
monument. The Tower has been partly recon¬ structed. The introduction of one unlimited power has produced great effects here also, and most
things that are wanted seem to be supplied on the principle of turning on a tap. Here also few people any longer cook in private houses, but they go out for meals much as they do in the community, although things are served here in a different
manner.
Other Places
Taking a passing glance at Paris, it also is seen to be much changed. All the streets are larger and the whole city is, as it were, looser. They have pulled down whole blocks, and thrown them into gardens. Everything is so hopelessly different. Glancing at Holland, we see a country so thickly inhabited that it looks like almost a solid city. Amsterdam is, however, still clearly distinguishable, and they have elaborated some system by which they have increased the number of canals and contrive to change all the water in all of them every day. There is not any natural flow of water, but there is some curious scheme of central suction, a kind of enormous tube system with a deep central excavation. The details are not clear ; but they somehow exhaust the area and draw into that all sewage and such matters, which are carried in a great channel under the sea to a considerable distance and are then spouted out
CONCLUSION
463
with tremendous vigour. No ships pass anywhere near that spot, as the force is too great. Here also, as in the community, they are distilling sea-water and extracting things from it — obtaining products from which many things are made — articles of food among others, and also dyes. In some of the streets they grow tropical trees in the open air by keeping round them a constant flow of the power in its heat aspect.
Centuries ago they began by roofing in the streets and keeping them warm, like a green¬ house ; but when the unlimited power appeared they decided to dispense with the roofs, about which there were many inconveniences. In pass¬ ing glimpses at other parts of the world, hardly anything worth chronicling was seen. China appears to have had some vicissitudes. The race is still there and it does not seem to have diminished.
There is a good deal of superficial change in some of the towns, but the vast body of the race is not really altered in its civilisation. The great majority of the country people still speak their own tongue, but all the leading people know the universal language.
India is another country where but little change is observable. The immemorial Indian village is an Indian village still, but there are no famines
now. The country groups itself into two or three big kingdoms, but is still part of the one great Empire. There is evidently far more mixture in the higher classes than there used to be, and much more intermarriage with white races ; so
that it is clear that among a large section of
464 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
the educated people the caste system must to a great extent have been broken down. Tibet seems to have been a good deal opened up, since easy access is to be had to it by means of flying machines. Even these, however, meet with oc¬ casional difficulties, owing to the rarity of the air at a great height. Central Africa is radically changed, and the neighbourhood of the Victoria Nyanza has become a sort of Switzerland full of great hotels.
Adyar
Naturally it is interesting to see what has happened by this time to our Headquarters at Adyar, and it is delightful to find it still flourish¬ ing, and on a far grander scale than in older days. There is still a Theosophical Society ; but as its first object has to a large extent been achieved, it is devoting itself principally to the
second and third. It has developed into a great
central University for the promotion of studies
along both these lines, with subsidiary centres in various parts of the world affiliated to it.
The present Headquarters building is replaced by a kind of gorgeous palace with an enormous dome, the central part of which must be an
imitation of the Taj Mahal at Agra, but on a much larger scale. In this great building they mark as memorials certain spots by pillars and inscriptions, such as : “ Here was Madame Blavatsky’s room ” ; “ Here such and such a book was written ” ; “ Here was the original shrine-room ” ; and so on. They
CONCLUSION
465
even have statues of some of us, and they have made a copy in marble of the statues of the Founders in the great hall. Even that marble copy is now considered as a relic of remote ages. The Society owns the Adyar River now, and also the ground on the other side of it, in order that nothing may be built over there that may spoil its prospect, and it has lined the river-bed with stone of some sort to keep it clean. They have covered the estate with buildings, and have acquired perhaps an additional square mile along the sea-shore. Away beyond Olcott Gardens they have a depart¬ ment for occult chemistry, and there they have all the original plates reproduced on a larger scale and also exceedingly beautiful models of all the different kinds of chemical atoms. They have a magnificent museum and library, and a few of the things which were here at the beginning of the twentieth century are still to be seen. One fine old enamelled manu¬ script still exists, but it is doubtful whether there are any books going back as far as the twentieth century. They have copies of The Secret Doctrine , but they are all transcribed into the universal language.
The Theosophical Society
The Society has taken a great place in the
world. It is a distinct department in the world’s
science, and has a long line of specialities which no
one else seems to teach. It is turning out a vast
amount of literature, possibly what we should call
texts, and is keeping alive an interest in the old
religions and in forgotten things. It is issuing a 60
466 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
great series somewhat resembling the old f Sacred Books of the East,’ but on a more magnificent scale. The volume just issued is number 2,159. There are many pandits who are authorities on the past. Each man appears to specialise on a book. He knows it by heart and knows all about it, and has read thoroughly all the commentaries upon it. The literary department is enormous, and is the centre of a world-wide organisation. Though they still use English, they speak it differently, but they keep the archaic motto of the Society written in its original form. The Society’s depend¬ encies in other parts of the world are practically autonomous — big establishments and universities in all the principal countries ; but they all look up to Adyar as the centre and origin of the move¬ ment and make it a place of pilgrimage. Colonel Olcott, though working in the community in Cali¬ fornia as a lieutenant of the Manu, is the nominal President of the Society, and visits its Headquarters at least once in every two years. He comes and leads the salutations before the statues of the Founders.
Three Methods of Reincarnation
As in the examination of the Californian com¬ munity a great many people were seen who were clearly recognisable as friends of the twentieth century, it seems desirable to enquire how they manage to be there — whether they have been taking a number of rapid incarnations, or have calculated their stay in the heaven-world so as to arrive at the right moment.
CONCLUSION
467
The enquiry leads in unexpected directions and gives more trouble than had been anticipated, but at least three methods of occupying the inter¬ mediate time have been discovered. First, some of the workers do take the heaven-life, but greatly shorten and intensify it. This process of shortening but intensifying produces considerable and fundamental differences in the causal body ; its effects cannot in any way be described as better or worse, but they are quite certainly different. It is a type which is much more amenable to the influence of the Devas than the other, and this is one of the ways in which modifications have been introduced. That shorter heaven-life is not shut in in a little world of its own, but is to a great extent open to this Deva influence. The brains of the people who come along that line are different, because they have preserved lines of receptivity which in other cases have been atrophied. They can be more easily influenced for good by invisible beings, but there is a corresponding liability to less desirable influences. The personality is less awake, but the man inside is more awake in proportion. Those who take the longer heaven-life focus practi¬ cally all their consciousness in one place at once, but people of this other type do not. Their conscious¬ ness is more equally distributed on the different levels, and consequently they are usually less concentrated upon the physical plane and less able to achieve in connection with it.
There are others to whom a different oppor¬ tunity has been offered, for they were asked whether they felt themselves able to endure a series
468 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
of rapid incarnations of hard work devoted to the building of the Theosophical Society. Naturally, such an offer is made only to those who bring themselves definitely to a point where they are useful — those who work hard enough to give satisfactory promise for the future. To them is offered this opportunity of continuing their work, of taking incarnation after incarna¬ tion without interval, in different parts of the world, to carry the Theosophical Movement up to the point where it can provide this large contingent for the community. The community at the time when it is observed is much larger than the Theosophical Society of the twentieth century ; but that Society has increased by geometrical progression during the intervening centuries — so much so that although practically all the hundred thousand members of the community have passed through its ranks (most of them many times), there is still a huge Society left to carry on the activities at Adyar and the other great centres all over the world.
We have seen already two methods by which per¬ sons who are in the Society in the twentieth century may form part of the community of the twenty-eighth century — by the intensification of the heaven-life, and by the taking of special and repeated incarnations. Another method is far more remarkable than either of these — one which is probably applied in only a limited number of instances. The case which drew attention to this was that of a man who had pledged himself to the Master for this work towards the conclusion of his twentieth century incarnation, and
CONCLUSION
469
unreservedly devoted himself to preparation for it. The preparation assigned was indeed most unusual, for he needed development of a certain kind in order to round off his character and make him really useful — development which could only be obtained under the conditions existing in another planet of the chain. Therefore he was transferred for some lives to that planet and then brought back again here — a special experiment made by permission of the Maha-Chohan Himself. The same permission was in some cases obtained by other Masters for Their pupils, though such an extreme measure is rarely necessary.
Most of the members of the community have been taking a certain number of special incarna¬ tions, and therefore have preserved through all those lives the same astral and mental bodies. Consequently they have retained the same memory, and that means that they have known all about the community for several lives, and had the idea of it before them. Normally such a series of special and rapid incarnations is arranged only for those who have already taken the first of the great Initiations. For them it is understood that an average of seven such lives should bring them to the Arhat Initiation, and that after that is attained seven more should suffice to cast off the remaining five fetters and attain the perfect liberation of the Asekha level. This number, fourteen incarnations, is given merely as an average, and it is possible greatly to shorten the time by especially earnest and devoted work, or, on the other hand, to lengthen it by any lukewarmness or carelessness. The
470 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
preparation for the work of' the community is an exception to ordinary rules, and although all its members are definitely aiming at the Path, we must not suppose that all of them have attained as yet to the greater heights.
A certain small number of persons from the out¬ side world, who are already imbued with the ideals
of the community, sometimes come and desire to join
« _
it, and some at least of these are accepted. They are not allowed to intermarry with the community, because of the especial purity of race which is exacted, but they are allowed to come and live among the rest, and are treated exactly like all the others. When such members die they reincarnate in bodies belonging to the families of the community.
The Manu has advanced ideas as to the amount of progress which He expects the community as a whole to make in a given time. In the principal Temple He keeps a kind of record of this, some¬ what resembling a weather-chart, showing by lines what He has expected and how much more or less has been achieved. The whole plan of the com¬ munity was arranged by our two Masters, and the light of Their watchful care is always hovering over it. All that has been written gives only a little gleam of fdiat light — a partial foreshadowing of that which They are about to do.
How to Prepare Ourselves
It is certainly not without definite design that just at this time in the history of our Society permission has been given thus to publish this, the
CONCLUSION
471
first definite and detailed forecast of the great work that has to be done. There can be little doubt that at least one of the objects of the great Ones in allowing this is not only to encourage and stimulate our faithful members, but to show them along what lines they must specially develop them¬ selves, if they desire the inestimable privilege of being permitted to share in this glorious future, and also what (if anything) they can do to pave the way for the changes that are to come. One thing that can be done here and now to prepare for this glorious development is the earnest promotion of our first object, of a better understanding between the different nations and castes and creeds.
In that everyone of us can help, limited though
our powers may be, for every one of us can try
to understand and appreciate the qualities of nations other than our own ; every one of us, when he hears some foolish or prejudiced remark made against men of another nation, can take the opportun¬ ity of putting forward the other side of the
question — of recommending to notice their good qualities rather than their failings. Every one of us can take the opportunity of acting in an
especially kindly manner toward any foreigner with whom we happen to come into contact, and feeling the great truth that when a stranger visits our country all of us stand temporarily to him in the position of hosts. If it comes in our way to go abroad — and none to whom such an opportunity is possible should neglect it — we must remember that we are for the moment representatives of our coun¬ try to those whom we happen to meet, and that
472 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
we owe it to that country to endeavour to give the best possible impression of kindliness and readiness to appreciate all the manifold beauties that will open before us, while at the same time we pass over or make the best of any points which strike us as deficiencies.
Another way in which we can help to pre¬ pare is by the endeavour to promote beauty in all its aspects, even in the commonest things around us. One of the most prominent characteristics of the community of the future is its intense devotion to beauty, so that even the commonest utensil is in its simple way an object of art. We should see to it that, at least within the sphere of our influence, all this is so with us at the present day ; and this does not mean that we should sur¬ round ourselves with costly treasures, but rather that, in the selection of the simple necessaries of every-day life, we should consider always the ques¬ tion of harmony, suitability and grace. In that sense and to that extent we must all strive to become artistic ; we must develop within ourselves that power of appreciation and comprehension which is the grandest feature of the artist’s character.
Yet, on the other hand, while thus making an effort to evolve its good side, we must care¬ fully avoid the less desirable qualities which it
sometimes brings with it. The artistic man may
be elevated clear out of his ordinary every-day
self by his devotion to his art. By the very intensity of that, he has not only marvellously
uplifted himself, but he also uplifts such others as are capable of responding to such a stimulus. But
CONCLUSION
473
unless he is an abnormally well-balanced man, this wonderful exaltation is almost invariably followed by its reaction, a correspondingly great depression. Not only does this stage usually last far longer than the first, but the waves of thought and feel¬ ing which it pours forth affect nearly everybody within a considerable area, while only a few (in all probability) have been able to respond to the elevating influence of the art. It is indeed a question whether many men of artistic tem¬ perament are not, on the whole, thus doing far more harm than good ; but the artist of the future will learn the necessity and the value of perfect equipoise, and so will produce the good without the harm ; and it is at this that we must aim.
It is obvious that helpers are needed for the work of the Manu and the Chief Priest, and that in such work there is room for all conceivable diversities of talent and of disposition. None need despair of being useful because he thinks himself lacking in intel¬ lect or ecstatic emotion ; there is room for all, and qualities which are lacking now may be speedily developed under the special conditions which the community will provide. Good-will and docility are needed, and perfect confidence in the wisdom and capability of the Manu ; and above all the resolve to forget self utterly and to live only for the work that has to be done in the interests of humanity. Without this last, all other qualifications “ water but the desert”.
Those who offer themselves to help must have in some sort the spirit of an army — a spirit of per¬ fect self-sacrifice, of devotion to the Leader and of 61
474 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
confidence in Him. They must above all things be loyal, obedient, painstaking, unselfish. They may have many other great qualities as well, and the more they have the better ; but these at least they must have. There will be scope for the keenest intelligence, the greatest ingenuity and ability in every direction; but all these will be useless without the capacity of instant obedience and utter trust in the Masters. Self-conceit is an absolute barrier to usefulness. The man who can never obey an order because he always thinks that he knows better than the authorities, the man who cannot sink his personality entirely in the work which is given to him to do and co-operate harmoniously with his fellow-workers — such a man has no place in the army of the Manu, however transcendent his other qualifications may be. All this lies before us to be done, and it will be done, whether we take our share in it or not ; but since the opportunity is offered to us surely we shall be criminally foolish if we neglect it. Even already the preparatory work is beginning ; the harvest truly is plenteous, but as yet the labourers are all too few. The Lord of the Harvest calls for willing helpers ; who is there among us who is ready to respond ?
EPILOGUE
It is obvious that the outline of the Californian community and of the world of the twenty-eighth century is but an infinitesimal fragment of the ‘ Whither5 of the road along which humanity will travel. It is an inch or two of the indefinite number of miles which stretch between us and the goal of our Chain, and even then a longer ‘ Whither 5 stretches beyond. It tells of the first small beginnings of the sixth Root Race, beginnings which bear much the same proportion to the life of that Race, as the gathering of the few thousands on the shore of the sea that washed the south¬ eastern part of Ruta bore to the great fifth Root Race that is now leading the world. We do not know how long a time is to elapse from those peace¬ ful days to the years during which America will be rent into pieces by earthquakes and volcanic out¬ bursts, and a new continent will be thrown up in the Pacific, to be the home of the sixth Root Race. We see that later the strip in the far west of Mexico, on which the community exists will become a strip on the far east of the new continent, while Mexico and the United States will be whelmed in ruin. Gradually will that new continent be upheaved, with many a wild outburst of volcanic energy, and the land that was once Lemuria will arise from its
476 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
age-long sleep, and lie again beneath the sun-rays of our earthly day.
It may be supposed that a very long period will be occupied by these great seismic changes, ere the new land will be ready for the new Race, and its Manu and its Bodhisattva will lead it thither.
Then will come the ages during which its seven sub-races will rise, and reign, and decay ; and from the seventh the choosing of the germs of the seventh Root Race by its future Manu, and the long labours of that new Manu and of His Brother the new Bodhisattva, until it shall, in turn, grow into a definite new Race and inherit the earth. It also will have its seven sub-races, to rise, and reign, and vanish — vanishing as the earth itself falls asleep, and passes into its fourth obscuration.
The Sun of Life will rise on a new earth, the planet Mercury, and that fair orb will pass through its day of ages, and again that Sun will set and the night will fall. A new rising, a new setting, on the globes F and G of our Round, and the ending of the Round, and the gathering of its fruits into the bosom of its Seed Manu.
Then, after long repose, the fifth, sixth and seventh Rounds, ere our terrene Chain shall vanish into the past. Then, onwards yet, after an Inter- Chain Nirvana, and still there are fifth and sixth and seventh Chains yet to come and to pass away, ere the Day of the High Gods shall decline to its setting, and the soft still Night shall brood over a resting system, and the great Preserver shall repose on the many-headed serpent of Time.
EPILOGUE
477
But even then the ‘Whither* stretches onward into the endless ages of Immortal Life. The dazzled eyes close ; the numbed brain is still. But above, below, on every side, stretches the illimitable Life who is God, and in Him will ever live and move and exist the children of men.
Peace to All Beings

APPENDIX
I
THE MOON CHAIN
The names of individuals who have been traced through the ages — adopted from ‘ Rents in the Veil of Time/ with many subsequent additions — have been as far as possible relegated to Appendices. In a book intended for the general public, too many of these names would be wearisome. On the other hand, they are of great interest to Fellows of the Theosophical Society, many of whom may thus trace some of their former incarnations. We have re¬ tained these names in the text where the exigencies of the story required it, and have added large numbers, family relationships, etc., in the form of Appendices.
P. 33. Individualised on Globe D, in the fourth Round of the Moon Chain : Mars and Mercury ; probably many others who have become Masters in the Earth Chain. Yet loftier Beings individualised in earlier Chains. Thus, the Mahaguru and StJRYA dropped out of globe D of the seventh Round of the second Chain at its Day of Judgment, and came to globe D of the third, or Moon Chain, in the fourth Round — as primitive men, with second Chain animals ready for individualisation. JUPITER was probably with these, and Vaivasvata Manu — Manu of the fifth Race on the fourth Round of the Earth Chain.
P. 36. Individualised on globe D, in the fifth Round : Her- akles, Sirius, Alcyone, Mizar, and probably all those later called Servers, who worked together through the ages — see the next paragraph. Many others, who have made
great progress along other lines, probably individualised 62

These were first noticed in the sixth Round, evidently at the same stage as Herakles, Sirius, Alcyone and Mizar; and therefore must have individualised in the fifth Round.

IN THE CITY OF THE GOLDEN GATE ABOUT
B. C. 220,000
In these lists all the people recognised up to the time of writing will be named, whether given in the text or not, so as to enable the reader to draw, without much trouble, a genealogical chart, if he likes to do so.
Mars was Emperor, the Crown Prince Vajra, the Hierophant of the State, Mercury. Ulysses was Captain of the Palace Guard. In the Imperial Guard were recognised: Herakles, Pindar, Beatrix, Gemini, Capella, Lutetia, Bellona, Apis, Arcor, Capricorn, Theodorus, Scotus, Sappho. Herakles had as servants three Tlavatli youths, — Alcmene, Hygeia and Bootes — who had been captured in battle by his father, and given to him.

ANCIENT PERU
When the articles on ancient Peru appeared in the Theosofrhical Review , Mr. Leadbeater wrote the following introduction to them, and it is useful to reprint it here. It was written in 1899.

When, in writing on the subject of clairvoyance, I referred to the magnificent possibilities which the examin¬ ation of the records of the past opened up before the student of history, several readers suggested to me that deep interest would be felt by our Theosophical public in any fragments of the results of such researches which could be placed before them. That is no doubt true, but it is not so easy as might be supposed to carry out the suggestion. It has to be remembered that investigations are not undertaken for the pleasure of the thing, nor for the gratification of mere curiosity, but only when they happen to be necessary for the due performance of some piece of work, or for the elucidation of some obscure point in our study. Most of the scenes from the past history of the world which have so interested and de¬ lighted our enquirers have come before us in the course of the examination of one or other of the lines of successive lives which have been followed far back into earlier ages, in the endeavour to gather information as to the working of the great laws of karma and reincarnation; so that what we know of remote antiquity is rather in the nature of a series of glimpses than in any way a sustained view — rather a gallery of pictures than a history.
Nevertheless, even in this comparatively casual and desultory manner, much of exceeding interest has been unveiled before our eyes — much not only with regard to the splendid civilisations of Egypt, of India and of Baby¬ lonia, as well as to the far more modern States of Persia, Greece, and Rome, but to others on a scale vaster and grander far even than these — to which, indeed, these are but as buds of yesterday ; mighty Empires whose beginnings reach back into primeval dawnings, even though some fragments of their traces yet remain on earth for those who have eyes to see.
Greatest perhaps of all these was the magnificent and world-embracing dominion of the Divine Rulers of the city of the Golden Gate in old Atlantis ; for with the excep¬ tion of the primary Aryan civilisation round the shores of
484
MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
the Central Asian sea, almost all Empires that men have called great since then have been but feeble and partial copies of its marvellous organisation ; while before it there existed nothing at all comparable to it, the only attempts at government on a really large scale having been those of the egg-headed sub-race of the Lemurians, and of the myriad hosts of the Tlavatli mound-builders in the far west of early Atlantis.
Some outline of the polity which for so many thousands of years centred round the glorious City of the Golden Gate has already been given in one of the Transactions of the London Lodge ; what I wish to do now is to offer a slight sketch of one of its later copies — one which, though on but a small scale as compared to its mighty parent, yet preserved to within almost what we are in the habit of calling historical periods much of the splendid public spirit and paramount sense of duty which were the very life of that grand old scheme.
The part of the world, then, to which we must for this purpose direct our attention is the ancient kingdom of Peru — a kingdom, however, embracing enormously more of the South American continent than the Republic to which we now give that name, or even the tract of country which the Spaniards found in possession of the Incas in the sixteenth century. It is true that the system of government in this later kingdom, which excited the ad¬ miration of Pizarro, aimed at reproducing the conditions of the earlier and grander civilisation of which I have now to speak ; yet, wonderful as even that pale copy was ac¬ knowledged to be, we must remember that it was but a copy, organised thousands of years later by a far inferior race, in the attempt to revivify traditions, some of the best points of which had been forgotten.
The first introduction of our investigators to this most interesting epoch took place, as has already been hinted, in the course of an endeavour to follow back a long line of incarnations. It was found that after two nobly-borne lives of great toil and stress (themselves the consequence.
appeNDix 485
apparently, of a serious failure in the one preceding them), the subject (Erato) whose history was being followed was born under favourable circumstances in this great Peruvian Empire, and there lived a life which, though certainly as full of hard work as either of its predecessors, yet differed from them in being honoured, happy and successful far beyond the common lot.
Naturally the sight of a State in which most of the social problems seemed to have been solved — in which there was no poverty, no discontent, and practi¬ cally no crime — attracted our attention immediately, though we could not at the time stay to examine it more closely ; but when afterwards it was found that several other lines of lives in which we were interested had also passed through that country at the same period, and we thus began to learn more and more of its manners and customs, we gradually realised that we had come upon a veritable physical Utopia — a time and place where at any rate the physical life of man was better organised, happier, and more useful than it has perhaps ever been elsewhere.
No doubt there will be many who will ask themselves: “ How are we to know that this account differs from those of other Utopias — how can we feel certain that the investigators were not deceiving themselves with beauti¬ ful dreams, and reading theoretical ideas of their own in¬ to the visions which they persuaded themselves that they saw — how, in fact, can we assure ourselves that this is more than a mere fairy-story ? ”
The only answer that can be given to such enquiries is that for them there is no assurance. The investigators themselves are certain — certain by long accumulation of manifold proofs, small often in themselves, perhaps, yet irresistible in combination — certain also in their knowledge, gradually acquired by many patient experiments, of the difference between observation and imagination. They know well how often they have met with the absolutely unexpected and unimaginable, and how frequently and how entirely their cherished preconceptions have been overset.
486 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
Outside the ranks of the actual investigators there are a few others who have attained practically equal certainty, either by their own intuitions, or by a personal knowledge of those who do the work; to the rest of the world the results of all enquiry into a past so remote must neces¬ sarily remain hypothetical. They may regard this account of the ancient Peruvian civilisation as a mere fairy-tale, in fact ; yet even so I think I may hope for their admission that it is a beautiful fairy-tale.
I imagine that except by these methods of clair¬ voyance it would be impossible now to recover any
traces of the civilisation which we are about to examine. I have little doubt that traces still exist, but it would probably require extensive and elaborate excavations to en¬ able us to acquire sufficient knowledge to separate them with any certainty from those of other and later races. It may be that, in the future, antiquarians and archaeo¬ logists will turn their attention more than they have
hither to done to these wonderful countries of South America, and then perhaps they may be able to sort out the various footprints of the different races which one after another occupied and governed them ; but at present all that we know (outside of clairvoyance) about old Peru is the little that was told to us by the Spanish conquerors ; and the civilisation at which they marvelled so greatly
was but a faint and far distant reflection of the older
and grander reality.
The very race itself had changed ; for though those whom the Spaniards found in possession were still some offshoot of that splendid third sub-race of the Atlanteans, which seems to have been endued with so much more enduring power and vitality than any of those which followed it, it is yet evident that this offshoot was in many ways in the last stage of decrepitude, in many ways more barbarous, more degraded, less refined, than the much older branch of which we have to speak.
This little leaf out of the world’s true history — this glimpse at just one picture in nature’s vast galleries —

reveals to us what might well seem an ideal State compared to anything which exists at the present day ; and part of its interest to us consists in the fact that all the results at which our modern social reformers are aiming were already fully achieved there, but achieved by methods diametrically opposite to most that are being suggested now. The people were peaceful and prosperous ; no such thing as poverty was known, and there was practically no crime ; no single person had cause for discontent, for everyone had an opening for his genius (if he had any) and he chose for himself his profession or line of activity, whatever it might be. In no case was work too hard or too heavy placed upon any man ; everyone had plenty of spare time to give to any desired accomplishment or occupation ; education was full, free, and efficient, and the sick and aged were perfectly and even luxuriously cared for. And yet the whole of this wonderfully elaborate system for the promotion of physical well-being was carried out, and so far as we can see could only have been carried out, under an autocracy which was one of the most absolute that the world has ever known.

THE ARYANISATION OF EGYPT
In the body of this book we have three times referred (on pp. 242, 283, 329) to the expedition sent forth from South India by the Manu for the express purpose of Aryanising the noble families of Egypt. While the book is going through the press some further investigations have been made, which are found to throw additional light upon the subject, and to some extent to link it up with accepted Egyptian history. The earlier part of the book being already in type, all that we can do is to append here an article which has been written to explain the later discoveries.
Referring to our remark on p. 330 that “Manetho’s history apparently deals with this Aryan dynasty,” we now see that he — quite reasonably — begins with the re¬ unification of Egypt under the Manu, and that the date which our researches assign to that reunification (though not yet verified with perfect exactitude) comes within a few years of 5,510 B. C., which is the latest selection by the most distinguished living Egyptologist for the com¬ mencement of the First Dynasty. The new Egyptological theories now make the date of the Pharaoh Unas about two hundred years earlier than we do.
Others of our characters, besides the few whom Mars took with Him, are to be found in Egypt in 13,500 B. C. ; a full list of all these will be given when the Lives of Alcyone appear in book form.
In the sixth life of Alcyone we followed the first of the great Aryan migrations from the shores of what was then the Central Asian sea to the south of the Indian Peninsula. The religious kingdom that the Aryans establish¬ ed there was, as centuries rolled on, used by the Manu as a subsidiary centre of radiation, as we have already said.
From South India likewise was sent forth the ex¬ pedition destined to bring about the Aryanisation of Egypt,
502 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
which was carried out in much the same way and by many of the same egos who five thousand years previously had played their part in the migration from Central Asia to which reference has just been made.
About the year 13,500 B. C. (shortly after the time of the thirteenth life of Alcyone and the twelfth life of Orion, when so many of our characters had taken birth in the Tlavatli race inhabiting the southern part of the Island of Poseidonis) VlRAJ was ruler of the great South Indian Empire. He had married BRHASPATI, and MARS was one of their sons. The Manu appeared astrally to the Emperor, and directed him to send Mars over the sea to Egypt by way of Ceylon. VlRAJ obeyed, and MARS departed upon his long journey, taking with him (according to the instructions received) a band of young men and women, of whom twelve are recognisable : Ajax, Betelgueuse, Deneb, Leo, Perseus and Theodoros among the men, and Arcturus, Canopus, Olympia, VULCAN, Pallas and Osiris among the ladies.
On their arrival in Egypt, then under Toltec rule, they were met by Jupiter, the Pharaoh of the time. He had one child only — his daughter SATURN — -his wife having died in child-birth. The High-Priest Surya had been direct¬ ed in a vision by the MAHAGURU to receive the strangers with honour, and to advise Jupiter to give his daughter to MARS in marriage, which he did ; and in a comparatively short time marriages were arranged among the existing nobility for all the new-comers.
Small as was this importation of Aryan blood, in a few generations it had tinged the whole of the Egyptian nobility, for since the Pharaoh had set his seal of august approval upon these mixed marriages, all the patrician families competed eagerly for the honour of an alliance with the sons or daughters of the new-comers. The mingling of the two races produced a new and distinc¬ tive type, which had the high Aryan features, but the Toltec colouring — the type which we know so well from the Egyptian monuments. So powerful is the Aryan

503
blood that it still shows its unmistakable traces even after centuries of dilution ; and from this time onward an incarnation among the principal classes of Egypt counted as a birth in the first sub-race of the fifth root-race.
Many changes took place as the centuries rolled by, and the impetus given by the Aryan rejuvenation grad¬ ually died out. The country never reached so low a level as the parallel civilisation of Poseidonis, chiefly be¬ cause of the retention of Aryan tradition by a certain clan whose members claimed exclusively for themselves direct descent from the royal line of Mars and SATURN. For more than a thousand years after the Aryanisation this clan ruled the country, the Pharaoh being always its head ; but there came a time when for political reasons the reigning monarch espoused a foreign prin¬ cess, who by degrees acquired over him so great an in¬ fluence that she was able to wean him from the tradi¬ tions of his forefathers, and to establish new forms of wor¬ ship to which the clan as a whole would not subscribe. The country, weary of Aryan strictness, followed its monarch into license and luxury ; the clan drew its ranks together in stem disapproval, and thenceforward its members held themselves markedly aloof — not declin¬ ing offices in the army or in the service of the State, but marrying only among themselves, and making a great point of maintaining old customs and what they called the purity of the religion as well as of the race.
After nearly four thousand years had passed, we find a condition of affairs in which the Egyptian Empire, its religion and even its language were alike degenerate and decaying. Only in the ranks of the conservative clan can we find some pale reflection of the Egypt of earlier days. About this time, among the priests of the clan arose some who were prophets, who re-echoed in Egypt the message that was being given in Poseidonis — a warning that, be¬ cause of the wickedness of these mighty and long-established civilisations, they were doomed to destruction, and that it behoved the few righteous to flee promptly from the
504 MAN: WHENCE, HOW AND WHITHER
wrath to come. Just as a considerable proportion of the white race of mountaineers left Poseidonis, so the mem¬ bers of the clan in a body shook off the dust of Egypt from their feet, took ship across the Red Sea and found a refuge among the mountains of Arabia.
As we know, in due time the prophecy was fulfilled, and in the year 9564 B. C. the island of Poseidonis sank beneath the Atlantic. The effect of the cataclysm on the rest of the world was of the most serious character, and for the land of Egypt it was specially ruinous. Up to this point Egypt had had an extensive western seaboard, and although the Sahara Sea was shallow, it was sufficient for the great fleets of comparatively small ships which carried the traffic to Atlantis and the Algerian Islands. In this great catastrophe the bed of the Sahara Sea rose, a vast tidal wave swept over Egypt, and almost its entire population was destroyed. And even when everything settled down, the country was a wilderness, bounded on the west no longer by a fair and peaceful sea, but by a vast salt swamp, which as the centuries rolled on dried into an inhospitable desert. Of all the glories of Egypt there remained only the Pyramids tower¬ ing in lonely desolation — a desolation which endured for fifteen hundred years before the self-exiled clan returned from its mountain refuge, grown into a great nation.
But long before this, half-savage tribes had ventured into the land, fighting their primitive battles on the banks of the great river which once had borne the argosies of a mighty civilisation, and was yet again to witness a revival of those ancient glories, and to mirror the stately temples of Osiris and Amen-ra. Professor Flinders Petrie describes five of these earlier races, which overran different parts of the country and warred desultorily among themselves.
1. An aquiline race of the Libyo-Amorite type, which occupied a large part of the land, and held its own longer than any other, maintaining for centuries a fair level of civilisation.
APPENDIX
505
2. A Hittite race with curly hair and plaited beards.
3. A people with pointed noses and long pigtails — mountaineers, wearing long, thick robes.
4. A people with short and tilted noses, who established themselves for some time in the central part of the country.
5. Another variant of this race, with longer noses and projecting beards, who occupied chiefly the marshland near the Mediterranean. All these are observable by clair¬ voyance, but they have mingled so much that it is often difficult to distinguish them ; and in addition to these, and probably earlier in the field than any of them, a savage negroid race from the interior of Africa, which has left practically no record of its passing.
Into this turmoil of mixed races came our clan, priest-led across the sea from its Arabian hills, and grad¬ ually made its footing sure in Upper Egypt, establishing its capital in Abydos, and slowly possessing itself of more and more of the surrounding land, until by weight of its superior civilisation it was recognised as the dominant power. All through its earlier centuries its policy was less to fight than to absorb — to build out of this chaos of peoples a race upon which its hereditary characteristics should be stamped. A thousand years had passed since their arrival, when, in the twenty-first life of Alcyone, we find Mars reigning over an already highly-organised empire; but it was fourteen hundred years later still be¬ fore the Manu Himself (they have corrupted His name to Menes now) united the whole of Egypt under one rule, and founded at the same time the first dynasty and His great city of Memphis — thus initiating in person another stage of the work begun by His direction in 13,500 B. C.
Clio and Markab were noticed among a group of Egyptian statesmen who disapproved of the Aryan immigra¬ tion and schemed against it. Clio’s wife Adrona, and Markab’s wife Avelledo were implicated in their plots. All four of them were eventually exiled, as was also Cancer, the sister of Adrona.
