The Origin of Humankind… PArt 1
August 14th, 2008 by bt-cvaWhere did we come from? When did we come? Why was this planet chosen? When did plants and animals arrive on earth? Is it true we evolved our species from the animal kingdom the scientific way described by the Theory of Evolution? Where did the different races come from? What is our common ancestry?

The Bhagavad Gita tells us that all knowledge of the universe lies within us in our soul because we are part of the Brahmatva (Primordial Soul) and share a part of His Great Intellect. Answers to questions on any topic for humankind can be found within the wisdom of the Self and from the intellect and writings of the Rsi’s. Only Self-realized souls can retrieve information from these sources. In the past Rsi’s within the Sanatana Dharma have orally handed down great scriptural shrutis from the celestial library in this way.
A pure soul a pure spirit in samadhi like Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami a legend during his time, has written a book which has revealed the origins of Man on the planet Earth. Willed to mankind during the last years of his life before his Mahasamadhi (2001), his great work the Lemurian Scrolls is the astonishing revelation of our beginnings, our development, our concerns, struggles and attainments during our early life on this planet. How this impacts modern life in the now beginning fourth Sat Yuga was sacred privileged knowledge from his private siddha collection, and read only to his mathavasis - monks, during the last twenty-five years. He has made this collection public knowledge so all devotees can benefit. The writings are confirmed by the modern science of anthropology and paleontology. The chapter on Timeline which compares scientific dating with the tenets presented in the book, are remarkable similar.
Ignorance of metaphysical knowledge is the Wests greatest predicament. Wisdom comes from intuitiive thinking, the mind in superconsciousness. We can only divine for ourselves the Truth this way. We then exercise the Truth in making decisions that are sattvic – righteous, virtuous. The Truth is within us. We are not distinct from the Supreme Person but of the same quality, individually a part of the whole cosmos a part of the Paramatma - the Supersoul. We are priviledged to be born in human form. Many births of our soul preceded this birth, proceeding from the lower species. Lack of metaphysical knowledge will prevent us from merging back into the Paramatma. However through austerities, penance, and devotional service, hearing and reading about God’s Glories, will we be able to start on the path of liberation from material suffering and eventually reach Godhead. The Origin of Humankind tells us how life started here on Earth, and why we are here.
The first journey
Man’s journey to earth started from the constellation of the Pleiades in Taurus (M45 on the astronomer’s charts) is documented: “Migrating to this planet in their subtle bodies, many of our forbearers travelled through the Sun. The beginnings of mankind’s
mission on this planet came in a far-away time, when the atmosphere was dense with
waters and gases. Flowers and animals were larger and more exotic than today. At
first, the transformation from etheric to physical form was difficult, but ceremonies evolved which, using fragrances of fruits and flowers, brought devotionally to special
pedestals, assisted in bringing through beings who absorbed these organic essences to materialize a denser, earthly, fibrous body. These beings loved the many jewels and golden ornaments that were crafted to bedeck and help support their flexible forms. Human life did not evolve from lesser earthly species. Aum.”
