"The 'sin of the Mindless' is detailed in SD  Vol. II 180 185
191-2 683 688-9.

We were at one stage in earlier evolution the "mindless" and
later when it was the right cyclic time, we were endowed with the
mind-faculty by the Dhyanis - the WISE Men with Minds (who had
attained to Wisdom in a previous Manvantara) and whose duty it
was to pass this faculty on.  Pretty much as children acquire the
mental faculty by living with adults who use their minds.  So
children gradually develop theirs.

Our best reference point is to get the Rounds and Races and the
events that occurred in those straight.  Rounds 1, 2 and 3 were
formative.  Spiritual Intelligence lay in latency while the
astral, psychic and physical were developed as links in that
Nidana (or chain of communication) which permits spiritual ideas
to affect and move material bodies.

Thus the 7 Globes were visited in succession three times by the
hosts that were to become "Human" in this the 4th Round.  So far
we have in this 4th circling passed through /globes 1, 2, 3 and
we are in the 4th.  Our present position is that we are past the
balance point of the total cycle and are presently in the 5th
Race of the 4th Globe ( D ) in the 4th Round.  The "Lighting up
of Manas" marked the mid-way point when millions were endowed
with the mental faculty by the DHYANIS - MEN WHO HAD BECOME WISE
earlier than we.  [ see SD I 150fn 159 233 247 254 272  II 69
89-90 98 167 )

This 4th Round is apparently that in which the mind-faculty
becomes developed and thereafter we become the agents of our own
karmic development - in the sense that we make decisions.  Mind
implies the freedom to think to remember, to choose, to
anticipate the future in various ways and select means and
methods of attaining goals that we set.

It also offers us the opportunity o becoming WISE.  There are
many definitions of wisdom.  Basically it implies a knowledge of
the operations and rules, Laws and processes of Nature.  So there
is first a study course - sounds like the Pythagorean school - a
period of study is then followed by the asking of questions that
delve into the causes of things.  following that is experiment
and trial in and on ourselves.  As our search deepens it also
widens and ultimately it encompasses a family, a city, a nation,
a world so as to add to the dynamic harmony that Karmic law
operating in Nature implies.

In the S D HPB shows the intertwining of 3 lines of evolution the
Spiritual the Intellectual and the physical ( SD I 181) It shows
how the mental and the spiritual are latent until such time as
the physical has caught up with the need for purity, sensitivity,
etc... so that a mind-being can dwell in and use the material in
a human body which has been aggregated under law.

Observe how in our daily lives we trust such matters as the
heart-beat, the breathing, the digestion, the excretion, etc...
to the intelligence that is innate in the body.  We are a kind of
intelligent tenant in this sensitive residence, and when we want
to, we interfere with or enhance the activities of that living
and sensitive residence.  Above and beyond our mental capacities
we sense that there is a spiritual something which already knows
the answers, and to whom we can refer for advice from time to
time - such is Intuition, or the voice of Conscience.  That is
the divine Tutor or the HIGHER SELF - the MONAD  (Atma-Buddhi)
which resides in each of us as a "Ray of the ONE UNIVERSAL
SPIRIT."

I hope this is of some help.

Man had in the third, and still has now, his lower nature. Those
that are
governed by it cannot be governed by their higher minds.
Therefore, for
these, whatever those of the third did, they can do also.
Nothing new...
