“but with these transpositions, with these changes that came in as personalities, we find . . . the Sons of the Creative Force . . . looking upon those changed forms, or the daughters of men, and there crept in those pollutions, or polluting themselves with those mixtures that brought contempt, hatred, bloodshed, and desires of self without respect of others’ freedom, others’ wishes—and there began, then, in the latter portion of this period dissentings and divisions among the peoples in the lands.” (364-4)

What the “sons of the Creative Forces looking on the daughters of men” means is subject to interpretation. I would interpret it as implying that the earth was proceeding along an evolutionary pattern (remember animals inhabited the earth long before man—there probably were man-like creatures) which was interrupted by the projection into materiality of these thought forms. It sounds as if they, in many cases, mixed with animals, the results being sometimes quite bizarre. A division of opinion arose concerning this mingling.

“Then began that period when there were the invasions of this continent by those of the animal kingdoms. This brought about that meeting of the nations of the globe to prepare a way and manner of disposing of them, else they would be disposed of themselves by these forces. This animal invasion resulted in the development of destructive force as could be set and then meted out in its force or power. Hence the development of explosives that might be carried about, came with this reign, or this period, when man—or men—then began to cope with those of the beast form that overran the earth in many places. Then, with these destructive forces, we find the first turning of the altar fires to the sacrifice of those that were taken in the various ways, and human sacrifice begun. With this also came the first egress of peoples to the Pyrenees.

Later we find there was the entering into the black or the mixed peoples, in what later became the Egyptian dynasty. We also find that entering into the Og, or those peoples that later became the beginning of the Inca, or Ohum, those who builded the walls across the mountains in this period, through those same usages of that power that was developed by those peoples. With the same power those in the other land became the first mound dwellers, in that land.” (364-4)

“With the continued disregard of those who were keeping the pure race and the pure peoples, man brought in destructive forces to be used by people that were rulers. These destructive forces combined with those natural resources of the gases, of the electrical forces made in nature, caused volcanic eruptions in the slow

and began to exploit the physical world and pattern it for their own pleasure and diversion. Reading 364-4 continues:

A quotation from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians seems to me to echo this thought and point up the problems it created: “The first man was from earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven. I tell you this, brethren: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable” (I Corinthians 15:47-50 RSV). The reading continues:

“Then began that period when there were the invasions of this continent by those of the animal kingdoms. This

brought about that meeting of the nations of the globe to prepare a way and manner of disposing of them, else they would be disposed of themselves by these forces. This animal invasion resulted in the development of destructive force as could be set and then meted out in its force or power. Hence the development of explosives that might be carried about, came with this reign, or this period, when man—or men—then began to cope with those of the beast form that overran the earth in many places. Then, with these destructive forces, we find the first turning of the altar fires to the sacrifice of those that were taken in the various ways, and human sacrifice begun. With this also came the first egress of peoples to the Pyrenees. Later we find there was the entering into the black or the mixed peoples, in what later became the Egyptian dynasty. We also find that entering into the Og, or those peoples that later became the beginning of the Inca, or Ohum, those who builded the walls across the mountains in this period, through those same usages of that power that was developed by those peoples. With the same power those in the other land became the first mound dwellers, in that land.” (364-4)

In spite of the awkward language used in the readings to describe these happenings, it is possible to decipher what was taking place. There is a reference to the use of explosives to combat huge and numerous animals which were threatening man’s existence. There are statements concerning emigrations to what is now South and Central America, Egypt, Spain and Portugal. The next paragraph suggests the basis for some of man’s early legends.
