 Konstantin: Best Greetings, and I thank you for your response. I have some
questions for you however. But first let me say that of course, I agree that
my response was based on Church History and was therefore exoteric. Exoteric
history is the only history about which one can give answers that have any
degree of accuracy. Anything else is pure supposition.

Now I want to ask you which Rosicrucians are you referring to? This is a
concept I have not heard before. As to the "passive fatalism" of Eastern
peoples, was it not the result of the combined concepts of Karma,
Reincarnation, and The Caste system that produced the helplessness that led
to the "passive fatalism". It is a common Eastern notion that the only way
to avoid "Bad Karma" is to do nothing (or nearly so). In any case I can see
no real way in which dropping the idea of reincarnation would "speed up
evolution".

If the Higher planes" were involved at all,and I see no positive indications
that they were, it would only be because the Human notion of reincarnation
was terribly flawed and misleading.

The problem with the "root races" supposition is that it is not supportable
by science, and it is far too easily not simply misunderstood, but far too
easily abused and turned into oppression, as the whole world clearly
witnessed in Germany in the period 1933 to 1945. There are many academicians
and philosophers (I disagree entirely) who claim that Theosophy contributed
to German Racial Theories.

with very warmest wishes:
