Sons Of The Fire-Mist: A Study Of Man By A Student
Publishing: 1921 by The Aryan Theosophical Press; Second and Revised Edition
Condition: Very Good
A special little book by students of the Theosophical Society studies the greatest of all mysteries, Man himself. The author, unnamed, is attributed to students of the known Katherine Tingley. I don’t know much more about this rare publication. A very neat and uncommon title.
“The first inhabited land upon which the earliest types of man appeared was around the North Pole, and during the Second Race this gradually extended. The Greeks preserved a tradition of this land of delight, calling it the Hyperborean region, the favorite abode of Apollo the god of light. Fossils of magnolias and other semi-tropical plants, lignite and coal seams are found in the strata now buried under the everlasting snows of the Artic regions. These and the fossils brought back recently from the South Polar lands confirm some of the statements in The Secret Doctrine concerning the warm periods of both ‘ends’ in various prehistoric ages. The climate of the habitable world at commencement of the Third Race must have been almost perfect, but as man ‘fell’ and the struggle between the higher and the lower commenced, the natural surroundings synchronously became less agreeable. The idea given in the Bible allegory that the animals ‘fell’ under the curse with Adam, is founded upon the significant truth that man is the creator of his surroundings, and that Nature simply obeys the demands made upon her. As long as man is the sport of his passions, and crucifies the higher part of himself, the Christos within, Nature will produce the earthquakes, the storms, the extremes of heat and cold, and venomous and noxious animals will multiply. These things could not exist unless there was a cause for them, for “Nature exists for the soul's experience.” They are instruments which the law of Karma has developed for the disciple of sentient beings.”
