 The Present Time of

The Seventh Race of Men

_{The destruction by water did not destroy all.  Some were saved to be the seed for the new age.}  

_{High in the mountains where the huge waves could not reach there existed the seed of man.}

_{Also various people built boats as their continents sank.  They clung to wreckage, and made} 

_{rafts and thus some survived the terrible storms of the forty days and they, too, became} 

_{the seed of man of the new age.}

_{One of these places lay high in the Himalayas.  The Himalayas lay so high the waves could not} 

_{reach and so high that the forty days of rain poured off.  Indeed, they were so high that the} 

_{clouds laid below the tops of the Himalayas and they laid in the clouds for forty days as}

 _{the rain poured below.}

_{And there lived in the Himalayas in those days, three races of men: on the} 

_{north side were the yellow men, the men with slanted, narrowed eyes;} 

_{on the south side there lived the men with the dark skins; and on the} 

_{west side of the mighty slopes, there dwelt a race of white men and their} 

_{mighty herds; yet all these three had sprung from one ancient race of men;} 

_{so ancient as to be almost forgotten even then.}

_{Now these three races of men had three basic religions each suited to their own stage of} 

_{evolvement.  The dark race had a religion of the mortal body; the yellow race,} 

_{that of the logical mind; while the white race had a very spiritual religion} 

_{because they were of the highest evolvement.  They were so very advanced} 

_{that their color white was recognized by all as a symbol of spiritual development.}

_{The white race was governed by a priesthood of wise men, and the highest degree in this priesthood} 

_{was called the "Maji" and meant "Masters of the World."  Not that they were the dictators of men,} 

_{but that they had mastered the call of the things of the world, which is found in every man.}  

_{They were the priests, doctors, and counselors to the people, and they were called "Wise Men."}

_{The white ones who had dwelt upon the western slope began to multiply, as indeed did they all.}  

_{And after awhile they drifted down from the mountains to take possession of the ground lower down.}  

_{The men with the narrowed eyes drifted to the north;} 

_{the men with dark skins drifted to the south;} 

_{and the mighty nation of blonde people on the western slopes} 

_{drifted down into the plains to the west of the Himalayas,} 

_{ever expanding ever growing and spreading westward.}

_{The Wise Men looked around as they progressed westward and they found little pockets} 

_{of people still dwelling in savagery although it had been many hundreds of years after} 

_{the destruction.  And wherever they found a pocket of men, they sent one of their priests} 

_{to be their priest and doctor, and to teach them, so that they might have wisdom.}

_{And in those days when these people reached the northern part of the mountains of Greece,} 

_{they found living there a remnant of a great people who had survived high in their mountains.}  

_{And they taught them natural medicine and this was done in the Age of Sagittarius.}  

_{To this very day, the coming of the Celts on their horses, teaching medicine to the Greeks} 

_{in the northern part of the country, is typified in Greek legends as "medicine having been} 

_{received from the Centaur, Chiron."  And the Celts spread westward till they covered the} 

_{entire continent, including Scandinavia, Britton, and Ireland.}

_{Now this mighty nation, indeed the whole world by this time, was literally ruled by the Wise Men.}  

_{They were at once, the county agent advising in agriculture, the advisor on local art, the veterinarian,} 

_{the astrologer, the priest, but above all, they were the Natural Medicine doctors of the area.}  

_{And all the Medicine Men through-out the entire world were of One Faith} 

_{and all were Leaders of the Wise People.}
