In the middle period of the Mineral Kingdom it seems that life, having then arrived at its deepest immersion in form, divides into two streams. One follows on through the jewels and then, through grasses and cereals, on to insects, birds and all winged creatures. Leaving the dense physical plane at this last stage the next and later steps are taken among the hosts of Devas.
The Angelic Intellect is, "A Cognitive power which is neither the act of a corporeal organ, nor in any way connected with corporeal matter.
"
The other stream of life, following the metals and on through mosses, shrubs, trees, etc., reach the mammalian form in the Animal Kingdom and thence through the seven types of domesticated animals at length achieves the Human form. This outline is given to indicate that a successful Hierarchy includes highly developed beings of both the Human and Devic (Angelic) type.
A very interesting and instructive fact may be inferred from the sacred life teachings which concern the relations of the Deva and Human evolutions. Though parallel streams of life, their relative importance changes. First the Deva, then the Human, in any cycle seems to be the practice. The dominant life of Chains I, II and III was that of the Devas and nature spirits. In comparison, the Human appears to have been subordinate throughout, though tending strongly towards a balance as the Scheme proceeded. In the 4th Chain this relation becomes gradually reversed and it is Man who must fill the role of pioneer and leader. The half-way point of balance in our Round and Chain is now passed and humanity is slowly assuming control - very little conscious at present, however, of its powers. The present experiments in harnessing nature, so evident in the machinery of our current civilization, are a slight earnest of the future.
He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it!

The Devas
have a special place in the evolutionary scheme of Humanity.
There are special divisions of the Angelic Hosts with whom co-operation with Humainty is beneficial and immediately practicable.

Those Angles Are :
- The Angles of Power,
- The Angles of Healing,
- Guardian Angles of the Home,
- The Angles who build Form,
- The Angles of Nature,
- The Angles of Music and,
- The Angles of Beauty & Art.

The coming of the Kumaras, members of the humanity of the Venus Scheme, to take over the charge of the Earth, inaugurated this reversal. We are witnessing the change taking place at this very period of the 4th Round's course. Its tremendous import for our humanity cannot be overestimated and the recognition and understanding of our task should enlist the attention of every student of the sacred life.
The life of the Kingdoms was passed on to the Earth Chain of globes from the aura of the inter-Chain Seed-Manu. The Root-Manu in charge of the Chain accepts the younger life first and the first Round, commencing on globe A, was begun. The seven globes appear each to be separate and distinct on this the fourth Chain and the life stream makes the Round from globe A to G and then repeats the circuit in the second and subsequent Rounds.
Three Rounds of the 7 globes of the Earth Chain have been made and the fourth is in progress now, the life being concentrated on globe D. Indeed it is the prodigious concentration of the Root-Manu on the globes in turn that occasions the circuit. The globes from which the life has passed on remain in slight activity only - in obscuration it is called - till the life stream reaches them again in the next round.
A correspondence to much of this is found in our own personality. The sleep of the physical body at night denotes the transference of activity to the next subtler vehicle. The physical body is in obscuration till the morning. Similarly for brief periods during the day, if the mind be exercised in thought alone, the physical body is out of focus, obscured. Concentration decides the instrument that shall be active.
The Seven Globes of the Earth Chain
A study of the Earth Chain is a study in essence of the whole Scheme. Just as in embryology one may trace the evolution of the physical form through all the earlier stages of development from the simple cell, so in the first three Rounds of our Chain the work of the first three Chains is recapitulated. On these Rounds certain work is done rapidly that took untold ages of effort on the earlier Chains. The Scheme works onwards to the Climax of its involution in the fourth Round of its fourth Chain.
The Rounds are the big and important divisions of a Chain's manifestation.
In the fourth Round our humanity takes a share in the pioneer task of the building of the new forms. In this respect the Round differs from all the preceding ones.
During the fourth Round, balance and adjustment are achieved and the three final Rounds comprise the synthetic culminating work of the Chain. The urge of the life on the first three Rounds is towards the outermost of vehicles and principles - the physical; the urge on the three last is to return towards the innermost. The middle, the present, Round is involved in the keen struggle attending the use and mastery of the densest body in the whole Chain.
The fifth Round, the first of the synthetic three, will be concerned with the mental principle and its perfection. This entails the complete development and use of the Causal Body (the spiritual, the celestial body) as an instrument of self-consciousness and the unfolding of the Divine Faculty of "Omnipresence." The fifth Round too, it is said, witnesses the day of judgement, a period of sorting out and adjustment in which those Egos offering no promise of attaining the goal of the Chain are withdrawn from further participation in its work. In the aura of the Seed-Manu they are said to await the development of the next Chain to a suitable point before they can proceed further. The Sixth Round is concerned with the intuitional principle, and its perfection leads to "Omniscience." The seventh Round similarly with the will, the perfection of which principle means "Omnipotence" within the limits of our Scheme. Such an attainment as this is so vast as to be incomprehensible at present, yet is contained in the simple precept ... 'Be ye therefore perfect even as your Father...' (Matt. V, 48) and in the promise of another scripture ... 'The soul of man is immortal and its future growth and splendour have no limits.'
The following table sets out in brief the inter-relations mentioned:
| 7 Sub-Races ...................... 1 Root-Race. |
| 7 Root-Races ..................... 1 World-Period. |
| 7 World-Periods ....................... 1 Round. |
| 7 Rounds .............................. 1 Chain. |
| 7 Chains ............................... 1 Scheme. |
| 7 & 3 Schemes...........The Solar System. |
The sub-races are like children in a family - they are successive in birth and then are contemporary; for instance, the five sub-races of the fifth Root-Race are all numerically represented today in the world.
It is the same with whe Root-races. The third (white), fourth (yellow) and fifth (black) are the humanity of today, all in incarnation at the same time.
The globes again appear together similarly, though here the dominance of one is more pronounced.
The immediate application of all this to our own times is that just as the first three Races of our earth were recapitulatory of the earlier Rounds, so the last three Races are anticipatory of the work to be accomplished on the fifth, sixth and seventh Rounds. That which will be the common achievement of average humanity in these later Rounds is just possible of the achievement by individuals of our humanity today. The division of the sexes that occurred in the third Root-Race corresponded to a similar process in the third Round, and the fifth Round will see the complementary reunion of the sexes in the Divine Hemaphrodite . Our fifth Root-Race foreshadows this in the case only of the loftiest of our humanity.
We are in the fifth Root-Race (and the fifth sub-race of that) and hence is particularly the principle of mind dominant - with its limitation and illumination. The lower mind in the previous Race, in association with the emotional nature (form and life), was developed to a marvellous degree of automatic responsiveness to sensation. Everything sensed is recorded indelibly in the lower mind though we may not realise it in waking consciousness. This amazing aptitude of the lower mind is the triumphant culmination of the work of the earlier Rounds in general and of our own first four Races in particular. The methods employed may be traced by the student intent on pursuing this study in greater detail, assisted by the symbolism of the world religions as set out in several sacred life teachings. The mystery of the subliminal consciousness, the subject of so much psychological research today, and its faculty of passive retentiveness are both revealed in such a study.
The fifth Round's task is the realization by humanity of the powers of the higher mind in conjunction with the lower - their union in short. That which applies to average humanity in terms of Rounds may be anticipated by individuals in terms of Races here and now.
The mind is the instrument of understanding, and the sacred life teachings imply that it must be perpared for its mission of serving as the channel of wisdom before that sixth Round when wisdom will be arrayed in all her glory.
The advent of the sixth sub-race of this fifth Root-Race and the fact that from it the great sixth Root-Race will be born makes the study of the Rounds of immediate application. Evidence of the spirit of service and cooperation is not wanting and, though we live in early times comparatively, the ancient wisdom points the way of progress unerringly ........................ for those who will see!
