the seven creations

The Seven Creations described in India (cont.)

 
“(VI) The Urdhvasrotas creation, or that of divinities. But these (divinities) are simply the prototypes of the First Race, the fathers of their “mind-born” progeny with the soft bones.

 
Finally, the sixth “Creation” is followed, and “Creation” in general, closed by –

 
(VII) The evolution of the “Arvaksrotas beings, which was the seventh, and was that of man.”

 
The “eighth creation” mentioned is no Creation at all; it is a blind again, for it refers to a purely mental process: the cognition of the “ninth” creation, which, in its turn, is an effect, manifesting in the secondary of that which was a “Creation” in the Primary Creation.

 
The Eighth, then, is “that creation of which we have a perception” – in its esoteric aspect – and “to which we give intellectual assent in contradistinction to organic creation.”

 
It is the correct perception of our relations to the whole range of “gods” and especially of those we bear to the Kumaras – the so-called “Ninth Creation” – which is in reality an aspect of or reflection of the sixth in our Manvantara.”
