The Yogis teach that there are many forms of life, much lower than Man - so much lower that we cannot conceive of them. And that there are degrees of life so far above our present plane of development that our minds cannot grasp the idea. There are in existence, on planes beyond our own, intelligences which were once men as are we, but who have now progressed so far in the scale that compared with us they are angels and archangels - and we shall be like unto them sometime. Many of the races that formerly inhabited the Earth, traces of whom we occasionally find, have passed on to a higher stage of development. Occultists know that some, and in fact most of the races known to history, have incarnated in some of the races today. The confusion is explained by the fact that each race has several sub-races, which really belong to the main race. For instance, occultists know that the ancient Egyptians - the Romans - the Greeks - the Atlanteans - the ancient Persians, etc., etc., are now living on this earth - that is, the souls which formerly incarnated in these races, are now incarnated in some of the modern races. But there are other races - prehistoric races - which have passed away from the earths attraction entirely, and have gone on to the higher planes of action in the higher planets. Each race stays on each planet for a certain period, and then having developed, passes on to the planet next highest in the scale of evolution, finding there conditions best suited for its development. There are a number of planets lower in the scale of progress than our earth, and there are several higher, toward which we are moving. For instance, It is spoken by Enoch that we shall be taken up through Arcturus which is the clearing level of our planetary creation through which we must pass to be cleansed and perfected before being programmed to go on to other levels of creation. In short, Arcturus is a gateway between the earth plane and other levels of consciousness. There are of course, other solar systems - other chains of suns - other sub-Universes (if I may be pardoned for using the term), and all this is ahead of every soul, no matter how lowly or how humble. Our race, at present, is going through a most important period of evolution. It is passing from the unconscious stage of spiritual development, into the conscious stage. Many have already attained their conscious stage, and many more are awakening to it. The whole race will ultimately have it, this being precedent to their moving on. This gradual awakening to spiritual consciousness, is what is causing all this unrest in the world of thought, this breaking away from old ideals and forms - this hunger for the truth - this running to and fro after new truths, and old truths restated. It is a critical period in the history of the race, and many hold that it implies a possible division of the race into two sub-races, one of whom will be possessed of spiritual consciousness, and will move on ahead of the remaining sub-race of slower brothers, who must work up by degrees. But the race will again be united, before it finally passes on from the earth, as it is bound together by the Law of Spiritual Cause and Effect. The Universe is great and large, and there are countless worlds and spheres for its inhabitants, and we shall not be bound to earth one moment after we are fitted to move on to higher spheres and planes
