Universal Religion II Yucatan Brotherhood

http://www.realitysandwich.com/universal_religion

  1. Fifth race drifting into materialism-Most advanced scientific world progressing faster than its social conscience and moral evolution.A movement to appeal to the materialistic was devised to afford them proof on the tangible physical plane of the reality of the super physical, of the unseen, though not of the spiritual, worlds.
  2. The spiritualist movement was designed for such an appal amenable to physical investigation, audible voices and materialisation were produced.
  3. The Yucatan Brotherhood took charge of the rescue movement. Sometimes, in the early days of the Theosophical Society, its Masters Themselves manifested in this fashion; at other times, They spoke and taught through H. P. Blavatsky... Materialisation is not so marked now as it was in the earlier days, when we find that very many of the "controls" were North American Indians.
  4. Materialisation accomplished its purpose and the necessity for it had been accomplished.
  5. It was very characteristic of the early phases. It began in America, of course, where the available people were, so to speak, most handy, and you find a number of American Indians acting as controls of those first mediums. Deriving from America was as a matter of course heavily populated with spiritually open peoples, namely American Indians used as the first mediums. Talks with a Class. Chicago: Theosophical Press, 1922
  6. They materialised in their own forms as children.
  7. The first question that ought immediately to arise is: if this is so, why is there no evidence of Atlantis or Lemuria's existence? Isn't the most likely explanation that they simply didn't exist? the earlier cycles of humanity had not yet fully descended into material form,
  8. In any case, whatever gross or subtle plane they understand them to have inhabited, contemporary Native American groups include the legendary continents of Atlantis and Lemuria in their mythico-historical narratives.
  9. It is interesting to note the reference of Atlantis and Lemuria in Native American mythico -historical narratives, but it would be more elucidative to know all the details of those narratives.
  10. On a visit to the Hopi reservation in 2006, Traditionalist Hopi Elder Martin Gashweseoma showed me a book of maps titled Cycles: A View of Planet Earth from 4 Million BC to 15,000 AD. It was published in South Africa in 2000, and presented a series of maps showing Earth changes from 4 million BCE up to 15,000 CE. The purpose of the maps was to show how the ancient continents of Atlantis and Lemuria were once aspects of the planet's geography. According to the maps, for millions of years -- from 4 million BCE to 10,000 BCE -- the small land mass of Atlantis extended off the northwestern edge of Africa, experiencing a series of cataclysms beginning around 800,000 BCE. There was an enormous spread of land from Asia down to Australia, which constituted the ancient continent of Lemuria. This began to break up sometime around 700,000 - 500,000 BCE, settling into a form that resembled its present geography sometime around 300,000 - 100,000 BCE. Furthermore, over the next millennium (after the year 2000 CE), the cartographer foresaw extensive future changes in the planet's geography. By 3000 CE, much of the eastern half North America and the northeastern part of South America would be under water, along with a central band of Africa. Meanwhile, Lemuria would begin re-emerging from the Pacific Ocean. Some of the Americas would re-emerge around 9000 CE, and by 15,000 CE would form a single band with a large lake around where the Gulf of Mexico is now, while Africa will also have expanded and Lemuria will have re-emerged as a significant presence in the Pacific Ocean area. Grandfather Martin showed me this book without comment,
  11. Ancient and moderngeography above brought to light.
  12. Grandfather Martin showed me this book without comment, but I infer that he meant to suggest that Lemuria and Atlantis were the two previous worlds inhabited by humans in Hopi traditional history, before we migrated to the present Fourth World.
  13. Mayan Daykeeper Hunbatz Men's association of Mayan Elders is more explicit about this belief. As Grandfather Gerardo Barrios Kaanek' relates: The great Gods... made the plans to begin life in this part of the universe. When they were finished, they call[ed] upon the great builders of this project... These four builders came to this part of the universe and created the galaxies, the solar system, the beginning of life on this planet, and planned the four primary continents. These continents were called Kax Uleu, the red earth; Sak Uleu, the white earth; Akab Uleu, the black earth; and Rax Uleu, the yellow earth. In the western world, these continents are called Atlantis (the red continent), Yis (the white continent), Mu (the black continent), and Lemuria (the yellow continent). Atlantis was what the Caribbean Islands are now, beginning in Florida, making an arc and following all the way to Venezuela. Yis, was the North Pole. Mu, was south of Africa. Lemuria, was between Australia and the islands to the northeast of Australia. Each one of these continents had the seed of the four races of the universe.

...[W]hen it was seen that the Fifth Race was drifting into materialism in
its most advanced members, the scientific world, and that knowledge was
progressing much faster than the social consci­ence and moral evolution, it
was thought necessary to start a movement which would appeal to those
who were
materialistically-minded, and would afford them a certain amount of proof,
tangible on the physical plane, of the reality of the superphysical, of the
unseen, though not of the spiritual, worlds.
Hence the Spiritualist
Movement. That proceeded in the western world by demonstrations available to
physical investigation, by knocking, by tilting of material objects, such as
tables, chairs, or anything else that was conveniently movable. Later on, there
were voices that were made audible, and still later what is called
"materialisation"...

The Yucatan Brotherhood, accustomed to the use of that
method, handed down from ancient days, took up the guidance of this rescue
movement.
Sometimes, in the early days of the Theosophical Society, its Masters
Themselves manifested in this fashion; at other times, They spoke and taught
through H. P. Blavatsky...

Materialisation is not so marked now as it was in
the earlier days, when we find that very many of the "controls" were North
American Indians.
It was very characteristic of the early phases. It began in
America, of course, where the available people were, so to speak, most handy,
and you find a number of American Indians acting as controls of those first
mediums.
They were given all sorts of names, such as "Sunshine," and the like.
When they material­ised, they materialised in their own forms, which very
often were those of children... (Talks with a Class. Chicago: Theosophical
Press, 1922.
)

The first question that ought immediately to arise is: if this
is so, why is there no evidence of Atlantis or Lemuria's existence? Isn't the
most likely explanation that they simply didn't exist?
The answer implied by
Blavatsky and Rene Guenon, and articulated by the latter's followers, was that
the earlier cycles of humanity had not yet fully descended into material form,
and thus did not have physical evidence of their existence to leave behind.
In any case, whatever gross or subtle plane they understand them to have
inhabited, contemporary Native American groups include the legendary continents
of Atlantis and Lemuria in their mythico-historical narratives

migrated to the present Fourth World.

Mayan Daykeeper Hunbatz Men's
association of Mayan Elders is more explicit about this belief. As Grandfather
