"Since death of anyone born is certain, and of the dead (re-)birth is a certainty, therefore you ought not to grieve over an inevitable fact."1

The period after the second world war has brought an enormous inflow of people from all parts of the world to the Western world. This Western world was until then mainly populated by 'white people', a term used to indicate a large group of people featuring light coloured hairs, eyes and skin. As Indo-Europeans they have populated large areas of the world, from the North of India to Persia to all parts of Europe. And it is especially in the Germanics that their light coloured features found their apex.

In the history of the past few centuries these Germanics have dominated the world stage, colonizing entire continents like North America and Australia with their people, and influencing the entire world with their culture. This dominance they had taken over from the Greco-Roman Indo-Europeans, who had their apex of dominance earlier. And now, with the inflow of people with different racial and cultural backgrounds, many white people worry about their future. For will their race and culture remain?

Above mention was made of 'Indo-Europeans', and in the ageless wisdom these peoples are called 'Aryans', who are considered to be the central race developing the mind principle in man. As the fifth root race they were preceded by the fourth and the third root races, the Atlantean and the Lemurian, which developed the emotions and the human body. And the next root race, the sixth, will develop the intuition, so it is prophesized. The seventh root race will then conclusively complete the race cycle of humanity on our earth globe.2

Now each root race runs itself also through seven cycles of 'sub-races'. The North Indians, the Vedic people, are regarded as the first Aryans, the Egyptians as the second, the Arabs or Persians as the third, the Greco-Romans as the fourth and the Germanics as the fifth.3 All these sub-races run their cycle of rise, glory and fall. They take the place of previous sub-races and they make place for later sub-races.

The above also goes for the Germanics. They came into being to develop the concrete mind.4 For the entire Aryan race this has been the line of least resistance, and through the resulting sciences much has been achieved to contribute to the world.5 Now however a new sub-race is ready to make its entry, and for this the Germanics will have to make place.

This sixth sub-race will of course not rise to dominance in an instant, but it is about to make its entry in present times. It was prophesized in 1888 that it would make its appearance within a few hundred years, and seers have already spotted the first individuals thereof.6, 7

This sixth sub-race will develop the abstract mind.8 And with the abstract mind being a faculty of the soul the human race as a whole will for the first time in its evolution on this globe gain a certain measure of soul consciousness.9, 10, 11

This is a typification of the sixth sub-race consciousness. With regards to its form it is said that the sixth sub-race will develop in the lands of the fifth sub-race in general, and in North America in particular.12 And this sixth sub-race, thus it is prophesized, shall be a hybrid race.13, 14

From the above information it is now possible to extrapolate in general the future of the white race. Being the fifth sub-race it will make way for the sixth sub-race. The white race will in generations to come very likely mix with the other races, creating a hybrid race. This race will surpass the concrete mind of the white people by developing the abstract mind. It will still be an Aryan race, however in embryo it will already have features of the future sixth root race, and it will thus be, indeed, less Aryan than the Germanics.

This development has probably already commenced. In Western countries all types of races gather and form families, and in generations to come this trend shall very likely increase. Where groups of very conservative white people resist and decide to isolate themselves with the thought of keeping their race 'pure', there they may, in the course of generations, degenerate and be left behind by evolving mankind.15

This does of course not mean that at present cultures and habits that are alien to the Western world should without question be welcomed and accepted, or that sound Western values, basically the humanitarian and non-dogmatic Christian, should not be defended. And it does also not mean that race mixing should be forcibly pursued. However it is good to realize that white separatism is not the future of mankind.16 The white race had its rise and its glory, and now it is, probably, experiencing its fall, but this then it does to make way for a more enlightened future of the human race.

"Now, Occult philosophy teaches that even now, under our very eyes, the new Race and Races are preparing to be formed, and that it is in America that the transformation will take place, and has already silently commenced. Pure Anglo-Saxons hardly three hundred years ago, the Americans of the United States have already become a nation apart, and, owing to a strong admixture of various nationalities and inter-marriage, almost a race sui generis, not only mentally, but also physically. "Every mixed race, when uniform and settled, has been able to play the part of a primary race in fresh crossings," says de Quatrefages. "Mankind, in its present state, has thus been formed, certainly, for the greatest part, by the successive crossing of a number of races at present undetermined." ("The Human Species," p. 274.)
    Thus the Americans have become in only three centuries a "primary race," pro tem., before becoming a race apart, and strongly separated from all other now existing races. They are, in short, the germs of the Sixth sub-race, and in some few hundred years more, will become most decidedly the pioneers of that race which must succeed to the present European or fifth sub-race, in all its new characteristics. After this, in about 25,000 years, they will launch into preparations for the seventh sub-race; until, in consequence of cataclysms—the first series of those which must one day destroy Europe, and still later the whole Aryan race (and thus affect both Americas), as also most of the lands directly connected with the confines of our continent and isles—the Sixth Root-Race will have appeared on the stage of our Round."

"Second, the emerging of a new racial type. The subjective outlines of this type can already clearly be seen. So glamoured are we by the form side that many claims are made today that the new race is to be found in America. The new race is forming in every land, but primarily in those lands where the fifth or Caucasian races are to be found. Among the fourth race peoples, however, a few, such as those to be found among the Chinese and the Japanese, are being discovered by the Hierarchy and are making their real and esoteric contribution to the whole."
  8. A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, p. 456-457. "Perhaps too much importance has been attached to the statement of some occult writers that the sixth subrace will be intuitive. The intuition will be awakening, and will be more prominent than now, but the outstanding characteristic will be the ability of the units of the sixth subrace to think in abstract terms, and to use the abstract mind. Their function will be to perfect (as far as may be in this round) the group antaskarana, or the link between the mental and the buddhic."

"The intensification of the life of the human centre will proceed apace and this is the reason why so many people (as I have earlier hinted) will take the first initiation. Students are apt to forget that the first initiation can be described, in reality as:
    a. The grounding or externalisation of the Christ principle in humanity as a whole and upon the physical plane.
    b. The flowering of the intelligence so that the initiate can work powerfully upon the mental plane and humanity itself be lifted up and aided throughout every part thereby. […]."

"This movement of millions of men everywhere is one of the paramount factors which will condition the new civilisation, and its importance is based upon the fact that in twenty-five years' time men and women will be a hybrid race whose fathers and mothers will be of every imaginable nation; white fathers will have had physical relation with women of every Asiatic or African origin, thus producing a fusion of blood which—if recognised and rightly handled and developed, from the educational angle and with understanding—will express in embryo the nature of the sixth rootrace, and which will be in fact HUMANITY without any racial or national barriers, with no so-called pure blood and exclusive castes, and with a new and virile sense of life because of the infusion of stronger stocks with the weaker or worn-out types and of the newer racial strains with the older and more developed. I hold no brief for the manner in which this is being brought about. It could have happened without war and through a conviction that all men are equal and human, and that the mixture of races would solve many problems; war, however, has hastened the process and the soldiers of all the armies of the world are having physical relations with women of all races, all civilisations and all colours. This must, whether regarded as right or wrong according to the code of ethics and standards of the observer, produce an entirely new situation with which the world of the future will have to cope; it must inevitably break down national prejudices and racial barriers—the first producing more effect than the latter during the initial stages. Inevitably a more homogeneous humanity will appear during the changes of the next one hundred years. Many attitudes and many customary reactions which today hold sway will vanish, and types and qualities and characteristics for which we have as yet no precedent will appear upon a large scale."
  15. The Secret Doctrine, Volume II, p. 425. "The Africans have never left their continent for several hundred thousands of years. If to-morrow the continent of Europe were to disappear and other lands to re-emerge instead; and if the African tribes were to separate and scatter on the face of the earth, it is they who, in about a hundred thousand years hence, would form the bulk of the civilized nations. And it is the descendants of those of our highly cultured nations, who might have survived on some one island, without any means of crossing the new seas, that would fall back into a state of relative savagery. Thus the reason given for dividing humanity into superior and inferior races falls to the ground and becomes a fallacy."
  16. The Destiny of the Nations, p. 65. "The isolationist or the super-racial attitudes of the bewildered German people are the attitudes of the separative tendencies of the form nature with its wrong emphasis; but so also is the attitude, veiled under beautiful words and misty idealism, of any neutral power who stands aloof from the happenings of the present. The Hierarchy is not neutral. It is one with the right element in every nation and set against all separative, isolationist and materialistic attitudes."
