This time is 25 precessional cycles since the beginning of the Hu-man. (1,300,000 years) Now Hu-man unfoldment moves from previous physical evolution to that of mental evolution.  This stage of development is represented by the sign Scorpio, the sign of the Serpent! HEIDELBERG MAN or Homo Erectus, is of the middle Pleistocene Age which is the ‘Ice Age’ of 4 glacial epochs. Heidelberg Man is found in China, Java, East and North Africa and he is using fire. THE GREAT WHITE LODGE of Initiates, is made up of the Toltec Atlantean sub-race, and is the first great body of emigrants to leave Atlantis following the moral degradation of that people into the ‘Black Arts’. Around this time they enter Egypt to mix with and dominate the indigenous people. The experiment will be carried on undisturbed for 200,000 years. THE ATLANTEAN GREAT WHITE BROTHERHOOD founds the first ‘Divine Dynasty’ of Egypt and begins teaching. At this time the first great body of colonists from Toltec Atlantis is brought over to the land of Egypt. Between this time and that of the next catastrophe in ten thousand years time, the two great Pyramids of Gizeh will be built, partly to provide permanent ‘Halls of Initiation’ and partly as treasure houses and shrines for some great talisman of power to be active during the coming submergence of Atlantis..) The Great Pyramid is located at the political centre of Egypt and at the centre of the land mass of Earth. In sacred texts of ancient Egypt (Siriad) such as ‘The Book of the Dead’, the Great Pyramid is called ‘The Temple of Amen’, meaning ‘The Secret House of the Hidden One’. Other allegorical names of the Great Pyramid are, ‘The House of the Hidden Places’, and ‘The House of Light’. The Christian Bible refers to the Great Pyramid as ‘an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt’ (Isaiah 19:19-20). Other old writings refer to the Great Pyramid as the ‘Pillar of Enoch’. Enoch’s life is given as 365 years, a symbolic measure of the solar year and by extension refers to a ‘year of years’, which was called by the ancients the ‘Phoenix Cycle’. ‘Phoenix’ from the Egyptian ‘Pa-hanok’, means ‘The House of Enoch’ and it was the descendants of Enoch, the Phoenicians, who built the Great Pyramid for the purpose of recording and preserving ancient wisdom knowledge, the fundamental laws of nature, and as a place of initiation into the ‘Mysteries’. The second great Atlantian catastrophe inundates North Africa and Egypt. As a result people migrate and take refuge in the Abyssinian mountains, which were at that time an island. Although a lesser catastrophe than the other three, the island of Atlantis is never-the-less split into two continents called Ruta and Daitya. On Ruta a black cult dynasty of Toltecs re-asserts itself. On re-emergence of Egypt from the flood waters, the inhabitants returned, fuelled by fresh migrations of Atlantean colonists and modified by an influx of Akkadians. Now follows the second ‘Divine Dynasty’ of Egyptian Initiate rulers. Atlantean conquest of Egypt and the establishment of the first great Egyptian Empire, which is to last until the catastrophe of the future in 75,025 BCE. During this period the 3 great pyramids were built in accordance with the astronomical and mathematical lore of the Atlantean priests. Human beings are by now living in the great southern land to be known in the future as Australia. NEANDERTHAL hu-mans of the middle Pleistocene Age are found in Eurasia, Africa and Europe. Amongst these people there is evidence of burial and funerary offerings, that is, religious ritual and practice are being carried out. [Bibliography and References withheld for publishing purposes.]

850,000 BCE    800,000 BCE

The ORIGINAL SEMITES, the 5th Atlantean sub-race, rises to power. These people are an energetic, quarrelsome, marauding patriarchal race who sent out nomadic colonists. One party of emigrants, chosen to form the nucleus of the next and 5th Root Race, the Aryan, took place under the guidance of a Manu. Five is a Manasic number and the 5th sub-race of Atlanteans marks the start of development of physical brain-power and intellect, at the expense of its psychic abilities. The further and greater development of the intellect is the destined goal of the Aryan or 5th Root Race. This chosen group will settle on the southern shores of the central Asian sea to establish the first great Aryan kingdom. According to Theosophy, as part of the evolution of human consciousness, there had been a descent of the Ben-Elohim or Promethean Spirits, in the distant past. These spirits gave to humans the fiery spark of self-consciousness, thus enabling self-determination and therefore moral responsibility. But the result turned out to be destructive and lead to the historical Deluge or Universal Flood, the purpose of which was to wipe out humanity and make way for a clean start, a totally new humanity, the 5th Root Race known as the Aryans, who had risen out of the seeds of the 5th Atlantean sub-race. For the Sumerians of this time it is Nergal who is held responsible for starting this Universal ‘Flood’ when he ‘fell out of place’. Nergal or Negal is the Sumerian name for the planetary god Mars, a representative of the powerful god Era known as ’The Fox Star’. This ‘Fox Star’ is located in the beam of the wagon in the constellation Ursa Major.  However, it is NOAH the Semite, who is most popularly known in the story of the Universal Flood. He was chosen by Divine Will to save some people from the ‘Great Flood’ and has his equivalent in the Hindu Vaivasvata. Noah is at the end of the Atlantean Epoch and survives the Deluge in a specially built Ark. Noah also has is equivalent in the Chaldean Nuah who represents the spiritual humid principle, the Spirit moving on the waters. This is not the minor deluge of the future, circa 10,000, but a major point in evolution marking the fall of man into full physicality. It is an Alpha/Omega point of evolution. Following the Universal Flood, when the water separates from the air, objects take on a more distinct form and people have to adapt to a new way of life, with a different perception and awareness. The previously undefined astral form now encased itself in a physical form of definite proportions, as humans moved closer towards physicality. These physical proportions are expressed in the measurements of Noah’s Ark and give an organization according to the ratio 3-5-30. If the Ark symbolizes the body, then the pairs of animals entering the Ark must symbolize the polarities of various body energies. CHAM or HAM is the son of Noah. Ancient Egypt, the mother land of Alchemy, used to be known as Cham or Chemical on account of the extreme blackness of her soil or, as others say, because it was here that the art of Vulcan was first practiced by Cham, thus deriving the name and art together. But by the word Chemical, says  Plutarch, the seeing pupil of the human eye was also designated, and other black matters, whence in part perhaps Alchemy, so obscurely descended, has been likewise stigmatised as a ‘Black Art’. Occult or wisdom knowledge descended through Seth, the son of Adam, to Jared of the fourth generation and from there to Noah and through him to his son Ham. The rescue of Noah from the deluge marks the beginning of the formation of the Earth in the 7th period of evolution. In Chaldeo-Babylonia myth, Ishtar the great goddess speaks of the destruction of the 6th world and the appearance of the 7th in which the sun was created; and this story forms the basis of  the Biblical Genesis. The Chaldean equivalent of the Hebrew Holy Trinity, are the gods Anu, Nuah and Bel. Following the Universal Flood, the gods ruling on Earth are replaced by mortals on the thrones of the city-states in the age of the Archaic Sumerian civilisation. Five Sumerian cities are named as existing before the great ‘Deluge’ and to them ‘Kingship was let down from Heaven’. After the catastrophe, ‘Kingship once more descended’, and the city-states which then arose were often at war with one another. The semi-historical ‘Sumerian King-List’, composed at the beginning of the 2nd millennium, shows Kish as the first city to gain pre-eminence, after which Uruk defeated Kish and took away this supremacy.  Gilgamish of Uruk is named the fifth ruler of the first post-diluvian dynasty of Uruk. JAVA MAN (Trinal man) The first of four major destructions of the main continent of Atlantis occurs and results in very great changes in the land distribution of the globe. What is to become the American continent is separated from the parent continent of Atlantis. Tidal waves bury great tracts of land. This is approximately the time estimated by future science of a reversal of Earth’s magnetic poles. The fish avatar of Vishnu saves Manu during the great deluge.

A SEVENTH WAVE

We are now in the last of the seven square aspects of the Titans Uranus and Pluto. However, the effects are likely to carry on for a few months as Pluto goes back and forth over the same degree for a while longer before gradually fading away – no doubt to be replaced by other influences. I wonder what we have learnt – if anything – each person can ruminate on the happenings of the past years, the economic crash, the terrorism at both obvious and subtle levels, the wiping out of peoples and ancient heritage, the weather changes and the personal traumas, the exposure of so much, the circumventing of so many problems. It’s a big world and we can still fix it. As Uranus is joined by fast moving Venus and Mars in this seventh wave, maybe some resolutions will be found or maybe the façade of ‘we are in control, everything will be ok’, that we have been hiding behind, will be blown away so that healing can commence.

Don’t be fooled by the tiny size of Pluto, he is heavy metal packed tightly!

The Titans referred to are the fiery, disruptive planet Uranus in the fiery, energetic sign of Aries and the deeply mysterious and powerful planet Pluto in the stern and authoritarian sign of Capricorn.

These two planets have been in a harsh angle of 90 degrees to each other since 2011 correlating with a conflict between strong desire for individual rights and personal freedom of the sign Aries, and the powerful strength of institutions and government bodies of Capricorn, those who want to stay in control. And indeed we have seen much of this around the globe from the western economic collapse to the constant localised wars in the Middle-East. and a new form of war called ‘Terrorism’ throughout the world.

Astrologically, the present global situation of stress and tension is linked to the social revolution of the 1960s. That was a time when these two great Titans, Uranus and Pluto, were together in the sign of Virgo, the sign of work and service [including armed forces] and health matters [including epidemics]. It was a time when the old fashioned work ethic was ditched along with many other personal and social concepts that had held sway over living arrangements and people’s lives. It was the era of open rebellion at street level, of hippy power and drug culture and the first mummers of the coming technical revolution that was to affect every level of everyday living. There was also to come an upsurge of ‘alternative’ ways of looking at how we maintained our health, both physical and spiritual. It was the time of the escalation of the Vietnam War.

2011-2015 offered the world an opportunity to take stock of that intervening almost 50 years since the conjunction of Uranus and Pluto in the sign of Virgo, and make any necessary re-adjustments at the social, political and individual level of response and reaction which occurred at the beginning of the cycle.

At a more spiritual level the tension of the current times indicate a need to blend our new awakening or new level of consciousness or new way of looking at ourselves, and at the universe. What is the new level of perception? The desire should be to improve ourselves and help others to do the same. It could be a time of sudden explosion of riches that are available to all, if we have successfully negotiated the experiences of the past five years, otherwise it can be an explosion of a different sort.

What we are looking at in the bigger picture is the cyclic relationship of planet Pluto with the planet Uranus. The current cycle started between 1965 and 1966 when the faster moving Uranus occupied the same position in the skies as the slower moving planet Pluto, and which correlated with a radical and highly disruptive breakdown of previous social and individual values over the succeeding years. The whole cycle of these two planets takes between 113 and 140 years, depending on the variable speeds of the planets. Four phases throughout such a cycle, when certain angular relationships are reached approximately every 30 or so years, are indications of a time for reassessing what these planetary energies meant for life on earth at the commencement of the cycle. This current readjustment phase rules over the years 2011/12 to 2015. The next such phase will occur towards the end of 2045.

So at various times of stress through 2011 to 2015 we are being called upon to curb our impatience and self-centred focus that allows no truck with order and convention, and attempt to blend our individual wants and needs with political will and the growth of organizations that are trying to bring about regeneration of our bad state of health, work and service.

To date, this has not been an easy task and the results threaten to be more like forceful destruction of what exists so that something new and improved can arise out of the ashes. One way or another there has to be a major restructuring of our efforts to respond on masse to the movements and energies activated in the mid 1960s. As we struggle along in this final phase the aim needs to be of keeping an open mind and being awake to any opportunity to make new discoveries and harness inspirations. More important changes are sure to come, and continue, and we need to adjust with grace.

An Alchemical Symbol for mixing together the raw elements.

The 2 pillars of society continue to break down – the church and the university -  and in between the third pillar of social structure is disintegrating. These circumstances have been going on for some time [since the conjunction of Uranus and Pluto in the alchemical sign of Virgo] in a slow and sometimes perhaps imperceptible grind, but now  during the long haul of 2011-2015 we see just where we have been. All levels of living have been undermined in a very subtle and indefinable way and at times in a most obvious fashion.

The breakdown and paradigm shift occurring in the church, means that it is no longer the sole controlling and directing force of our moral codes and behaviour. The breakdown and paradigm shift occurring in the universities means that they no longer are the sole source of our education and political notions. All has been replaced with free access to all knowledge and opinions sourced on the Internet. As a result, the breakdown and paradigm shift is occurring at a fundamental level in family and social and health structures, even to affecting what we define as gender and work. Indeed who are we?

Life is now lived more and more in technical ‘bites’ small quick pieces of information in a virtual world of the Internet, were there are no rules and no guidelines, one has to make them up to suit individual situations. There is a more constant displacement of masses of people due to great earth movements of fire, water and earth, due to easy travel or tourism and due to human tension expressed in disagreements, shootings, riots and war.

All institutions are breaking down, even life is breaking down, in spite of all the new discoveries. How do we survive and adapt? I wonder if our parents and grandparents felt the same – is this just another reoccurring cycle or is there truly a new world on the horizon? A massive evolutionary leap rather than a repeat turn of the circle.

He who smiles

Rather

than rages

Is always

The Stronger

In the last throes of the seventh wave, the Titan Pluto or Hades or Osiris, the invisible god of the hidden world, continues to assault Uranus, goddess/god of the starry heavens.

Egyptian Osiris, god of the hidden world, source of all wealth was given back his life after his crucifixion, by the goddess Isis. Pluto gives back life through the goddess Persephone and her mother Demeter.

Some say that Pluto was originally female, the Great Mother Goddess Rhea, who ruled over the 3 worlds of Earth, Heaven and the Hidden World. The Great Mother who spun the aetheric web that supports all manifest life.

Pluto or Plutos has an equivalent in the double Egyptian god Ptah-Seker who symbolises the creative power of the mid-night sun or Osiris of the Hidden World.

 Ptah-Seker [Budge]

Greek Uranus has the equivalent in Nut or Nuit, the Egyptian goddess of the starry sky; not the realm of the planets, but beyond the planets in the Eighth Heaven of the greater stars, those constellation that are said to have the ultimate control or influence over life on planet earth.

The Egyptian Nut or Nuit, goddess of the starry night over-arching creation. Related to the Greek/Roman god Uranus, the smasher of boundaries in order to reach greater awareness.

A fire sign and an earth sign at logger-heads. Aries fire wants to go full steam ahead. Capricorn earth wants to sit and think about things before acting. Both of these planetary gods/goddesses, symbolised in Pluto and Uranus, want radical change in their separate ways, and they are not going to be put off.

Such effects on life on planet earth will of course ripple down to the individual according to their own personal astrological chart, with the impact being according to each individual’s structure and temperament and ability for response.

Do we love one another enough to help each other through this very tense time, so that we can become more than we are? Or do we continue to battle each other as if we were all a constant threat to each other?

As Uranus is joined by fast moving Venus and Mars in this seventh wave of the square aspect of Uranus with Pluto, maybe some resolutions will be found, or maybe the façade of ‘we are in control, everything will be ok’ that we have been hiding behind, will be blown away so that healing can commence.

When Venus and Mars are in harmony, they dance beautifully together but this is the sign Aries that they occupy, and fiery Mars with Uranus may have the upper hand. Rather than be purely aggressive and self-centred can we dance with the joy of being individuals whilst being concerned for the welfare of our neighbour or partner?

QUATERNARY or Anthropolithic Era of man The Quaternary geological Epoc is marked by glaciations or the ‘Ice Ages’. The eras or sub-periods are Pleistocene (Diluvial) and Holocene (Alluvial). Definitions: Anti-diluvial: pre flood Diluvial: pertaining to a deluge or flood; the flood of Genesis. Alluvial/Alluvium: sedimentary deposit (following the flood). Pleistocene Geological Era of glaciation, which was marked by a series of clear oscillations of climate resulting in glacial and interglacial periods. Hunting and gathering man is evident and using shaped stone, wood, bone and antler tools.This is the start of the Old Stone Age further divided into three subdivisions, Lower (c2mil BCE) Middle (80,000 BCE) and Upper Palaeolithic (30,000 BCE) which correspond to three cultural periods of development, Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic. Paleolithic Culture of the Old Stone Age marks the evolution of man from ape-like ancestry to the true semblance of Homo sapiens. During the latter part of this long era, [2.5 million to 10,000 BCE] the first evidence will be found of primitive cultures (Abbevillian, Clactonian and Acheuliaan). HOMO HABILIS: earliest member of the human genus emerges at the start of the Paleolithic cultural period. These beings are hunters, gatherers, tool-makers of the ‘Old Stone Age’. They have a division of labour, cooperative living and show evidence of abstract thinking, foresight and adaptation. Human unfoldment is governed by the faculty of reason during this Precessional Period as the Vernal Point moves through the constellation of Libra, the Scales. Here humans are given the faculty of choice. The TLAVATLI or 2nd Atlantean sub-race of human beings originate in the area of Atlantis that is to become the island of Poisdonis. These Tlavatili migrate and interbreed with the Lemurian occupants of ‘India’ to form the Dravidian race. Possibly they are the remote ancestors of the South American Patagonians. The brown tribes of South American Indians, the Burmese and the Siamese will inherit Tlavatli blood. Indian culture will develop in geographical isolation created by the barrier of the Himalayas. This mountainous ridge resulted from the collision of the two great continents of the early world, Gondwanaland and Laurasia. In the north of India the Indo-European tongues (Aryan mix) will dominate whilst in the south, the Dravidian languages (mix of Atlanteans and Lemurians) will be prominent. The TOLTEC or 3rd Atlantean sub-race, marks the highest development of the Atlantean epoc following the formation of a united federation and the establishment of a ‘Golden Age’. The most powerful empire of any of the Atlantean peoples, it is the first to establish the hereditary principle of succession to the ruler of the nation. Occult schools have been established, and from the time of the second emperor, a Divine dynasty in contact with the Occult Hierarchy, rules the people. The population is greater than that of 19th century CE Europe, being around two thousand millions. Initiated kings and priests who followed the ‘good law’ will lead emigrations prior to each catastrophe that is to befall the continent of Atlantis in the future. These are the ancestors of the Mexican and Peruvian Empires and the red tribes of north and south American Indians. Man having evolved physically, morally and mentally is now ready to commence the spiritual side of his evolution under the Precessional sign of Virgo. HOMO ERECTUS: according to orthodox history Homo Erectus now appears and with evidence of intelligence, communication and social organisation. This is 700,000 years before Homo-Sapien is said to make an appearance. The TURANIAN or 4th Atlantian sub-race rises to power following the decline of the ‘Golden Age’ of the Toltecs. The Toltecs had drifted away from Divine Law and broke connections with the Occult Hierarchy, Personal power was used selfishly and turned nature’s laws into sorcery. A rival black emperor drove the white emperor from the ‘City of the Golden Gates’ and established himself on the throne. Such desecration led to the eventual attraction of terrible destruction but not before priest-led emigrations had taken place. The battle of black versus white will now continue on forever. The Turanian race (ancestors of the Aztecs and inland Chinese) were a turbulent, lawless race, brutal and cruel. They conducted a strange social experiment; for political reasons men were relieved from the direct burden of maintaining their families, the state taking over so that the birth rate increased and the ceremony of marriage was disregarded, thus family life and ties were destroyed. The race of Turanians tried several other social experiments to solve economic problems.

5 million           

years ago          RMOAHAL: the first of 7 sub-races of the 4^th Root Race of human beings called the

                            Atlanteans. This race comes into being between 5 and 4 million years BCE. They are mahogany giants of 10-12 feet high who do battle with the out-going Lemurian race.

                            Large portions of the southern continent of Lemuria still exist and the continent of Atlantis is still coming into shape. The land is hot and moist, covered with reedy swamps and dank forests and inhabited by huge antediluvian animals.

                            The Rmoahal, grouped with the next two sub-races the Tlavatli and Toltecs, are nominated the ‘red races’. The Rmoahal’s are not developed sufficiently to produce their own initiated adepts so the Manu and other Divine rulers come from another system of worlds to govern and guide their development. Descendants of the Rmoahals are seen in Bretons of northern France (Brittany) and the Lapps of Nordic Lands.

                     MANUS: this term refers to exalted Beings who superintend the formation and education of each Root Race. The seed Manu selects and segregates picked specimens, plans and guides the improvement in type, which each successive Root Race inaugurates. It is called the Root Manu when incarnating among a new race as a leader and teacher to direct their development.

                            In the 2^nd phase of earth’s evolution or the Atlantean Epoch, the forebears of humanity lived on a continent that now forms the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. These forebears had astral form and perceived their world via internal coloured images or feelings, rather than by sight. At the end of the Atlantean epoch, (c850,000 BCE) this astral vision or clairvoyance will still exist. In early times external spatial limitations had not yet taken hold because of the mist filled atmosphere on earth. The atmosphere of the world at this time was saturated with water vapour, making visibility of the sun and night sky limited.

                            This is the time of the Biblical Nifilheim who lived in the mists of the water vapour atmosphere which covered Earth and Atlantis, and they perceived their environment clairvoyantly or astrally. Eventually the mists covering the Earth will condense into water to create a Universal Flood or Deluge.

4.5 million           

years ago              The great circles of the Ecliptic and the Equator of planet Earth lie on the same plane around this time. The North Pole is with Capricorn and the South Pole is with Cancer, the two constellations that mark the gates of the soul for coming in and going out of manifestation in the material world.

                            The Ancient Egyptian monument commemorating this phenomena is the combined constellation of the Lion and the Virgin. The Lion stands on the Hydra with his tail turned down.

                            Later representations are of a Lion with tail over his back and ending with a Serpent’s head, indicating the inversion of the Zodiac constellations and poles. There are 3 Virgins between the Lion and the Scales in the zodiac.  In a later circular zodiac, the Lion is standing on the Serpent.

                            At the end of the Tertiary Era the Earth’s north magnetic pole had been drawn several degrees to the east of the point of safety and this ended in a magnetic cataclysm, the last on planet Earth, and which will bring about a final Magnetic re balance. This cataclysm caused great shifts of ice and water to wipe out all life and is the Biblical flood according to Churchward.

4 million              

years ago              Australopithecus, thought to be the oldest ancestor of man, from between 4 and 2 million BCE is found in Australia, South Africa, Ethiopia and Israel.

Denderah zodiac showing the two lions

The question is asked, ‘will the next conjunction of planets Jupiter and Saturn at one degree Aquarius in December 2020 definitely inaugurate the ‘Age of Aquarius’? The coming together of these two large planets every twenty years marks a change in the socio-economic structure of civilizations. Their next meeting takes place in the sign of Aquarius and therefore correlates with the new 2000 year ‘Age of Aquarius’.  Will we then turn our backs on the rampant materialism of western society and increase our humanitarian concerns in accordance with the ruler Uranus? Or will we take a backward step into over regulation of too many rules and hard task masters due to not learning the lessons of the traditional ruler Saturn?

CENOZOIC GEOLOGICAL EPOC The Cenozoic is the present geological Epoch. Knowledge of this past is now becoming easier to acquire in the 20th and 21st centuries, with such added information the past of humans becomes subject to greater complexity and therefore categorizing increases. The great period of the Cenozoic Epoch is therefore sub-divided into 2 eras, the Tertiary and Quaternary, which are in turn divided into ages or sub-periods. During the Cenozoic Epoch there is the rise of mammals, insects and flowering plants, whilst the dinosaurs become extinct. Continental drift brings land-masses to their present day form. TERTIARY or Cenolithic Era, is comprised of 6 sub-periods or ages called Paleocene, Eocene, Oligocene, Miocene, Pliocene and Pleistocene. The last age also beginning the following Quaternary Era. Hominids will appear towards end of this Tertiary Era, circa 10-8 million years BCE. The stage of evolution from animal to human, is represented by the Vernal Point crossing the constellation of Sagittarius represented in the stars by the form of an archer mounted on a horse and signifying the opening up to greater possibilities. The lung centers of the evolving human form are of a gill-like structure to cope with the water-laden atmosphere of this pre-Atlantean Period of history. This may be the source of sea-god mythology recorded in many traditions and of the even later ‘Fisher King’ mythology. Paleocene-Eocene Ages: In these first two ages of the Tertiary Era, there is movement of the great land-masses into what is to eventually be Greenland and Scandinavia, and the formation of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea. The Asian land mass closes off Tethys’ Sea at the east end. and the thermal structure of the oceans stabilizes. During the Eocene Age, an asteroid hits planet Earth causing the extinction of the dinosaurs and depositing a layer of Iridium over the whole globe. Iridium will be discovered in 1803 CE and given the name of the rainbow goddess Iris. The atomic number of Iridium will be discovered to be 77, reflecting the number of the colours in the rainbow. Oligocene Age: In this third age of the Tertiary Era of Earth evolution, the Eurasian land-mass unifies and the circum-global ocean current systems becomes established. There is the appearance of the first primates on earth. Miocene Age: In this the fourth age of the Tertiary Era is the appearance of primitive apes in east Africa, which will again disappear by about 15 million years BCE, except for two species, Keyapithecus africanus and Kenyapithecus wickeri. From this point in time, apes radiate out over the rest of the world. [ SANAT KUMARA/MELCHISIDEC, also called ‘The Ancient of Days’, begins to express itself.  This is the middle of the watery Lemurian epoch. As the Planetary Logos of Earth, Melchisidec is Lord of this World.  ‘Adi-Sanat’ is the First or ‘Primeval Ancient’, identified with the Kabalistic ‘Ancient of Days’. From this Being emanates the mystic Essence, ‘Svabhavat’, which in turn manifests as Numbers, and in Kabalistic terms is called the ‘Archetypal World’. Equatorius africanus, an early ape, is living in the Tugen Hills of north central Kenya, in Africa. It will be found to be a link between the early ape and what will become the modern ape. Pliocene Age: During this fifth age of the Tertiary Era, the first hominids (human-like creatures) appear in Africa. In late Lemurian times, when the human species can be identified as such, the seed of Christ-hood or the ‘Christos’ is planted within humankind. Thus arose the first truly human race where the mind aspect began to emerge and the duality of mankind became a fact. This occurrence correlates with the number of constellations increasing from 8 to 10 and those groupings of stars known as Virgo and Leo become active and are added to the former 8 signs of Capricorn, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Libra, Cancer, Gemini, Taurus and Aries. During these Lemurian times, Capricorn marked the end of the zodiac wheel. The signs of Aquarius and Pisces will not become active parts of the circle of zodiac constellations until the Atlantean period of evolution draws nigh. BEN-ELOHIM or the Promethean Spirits descend as part of the evolution of human consciousness. These spirits give to humans the fiery spark of self-consciousness thus enabling them to develop self-determination and to therefore have a moral responsibility for their actions. PTAH or PROMETHEUS is one such god or spirit of fire as recorded in mythology. He is one of the four sons of the Titan god Iapetus and known as the Egyptian and Greek god of fire, suggesting a race memory of this time and of the descent of spirit to create the first hu-man. In the future, Prometheus will join the ranks of the younger Olympian gods when it looks like they will win power, but he will take his revenge on the Olympian’s take-over by favouring mortals with the gift of spiritual fire. Legend makes Prometheus the creator of mankind and is popularly interpreted as the giver of material rather than spiritual fire to early man. In the words of the future Greek philosopher Olympiodorus, the TITANS are ‘wand or thyrsus-bearers; and one of their number, Prometheus concealed fire in a reed, by which we may understand either that he draws down celestial light into generation, or leads the soul into the physical body, or calls forth divine illumination, the whole of which indicates that the ungenerated are becoming the generated. Hence Socrates Orphically calls them the multitude, thyrsus-bearers, because they live Titanically. The narthex (wand or thrysus) is a symbol of material and partible fabrication because it has as it were a false form, for it is wood and not wood. More rightly is it so called on account of its sundered continuity, whence it is likewise a Titanic plant. For they hold it before Dionysus (Bacchus) instead of his paternal scepter, and through this they call him into a partible nature’. Proposed date for earliest true hominids arising from apelike stock. Called Australopithecus, 3 species are identified, with a possible fourth. They are found in Africa. Early human species Homo are supposed to have arisen from this stock. The Fourth Root Race of humans begins to evolve in solid bodies and are referred to as the Atlanteans. They appear on planet Earth towards the end of this Tertiary Era. The Cosmic Potter and bringer of Fire
