Our Ancient Past
Reader Question: Could you tell is more about the serpent race of our ancient past back to Atlantis?
JJ The Atlantis mentioned by Plato as existing around 10,000 years ago was just a small remnant of the civilization. HPB taught that Atlantis reached its greatest quality of civilization hundreds of thousands of years before this. The reptile people were most likely of great antiquity.
There have been many strange human-like skeletons found, some even with horns. To find interesting videos giving evidence of our serpent past just do a search on YouTube for “The Serpent Gods”
In addition to any physical evidence there are many stories and legends passed down about the reptile race. Here are some:
Male Boreas (Aquilon to the Romans): the Greek god of the cold north wind, described by Pausanias as a winged man with serpents instead of legs.
Cecrops I: the mythical first King of Athens was half man, half snake
Dragon Kings: creatures from Chinese mythology sometimes depicted as reptilian humanoids
Fu Xi: serpentine founding figure from Chinese mythology
Glycon: a snake god who had the head of a man.
Ningizzida, Lord of the Tree of Life, mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh and linked to the water serpent constellation Hydra.
Quetzalcoatl or the “feathered serpent”, the creator god and sky god of the Aztecs; variously depicted as a man, a serpent, or a reptilian humanoid.
Sobek: Ancient Egyptian crocodile-headed god
Shenlong: a Chinese dragon thunder god, depicted with a human head and a dragon’s body
Typhon, the “father of all monsters” in Greek mythology, was a man from the waist up, and a mass of seething vipers from the waist down.
Zahhak, a figure from Zoroastrian mythology who, in Ferdowsi’s epic Shahnameh, grows a serpent on either shoulder
Female Cihuacoatl, literally “Snake Woman”, an Aztec goddess Echidna, the wife of Typhon in Greek mythology, was half woman, half snake.
Moura Encantada from Portuguese and Galician folklore. The Gorgons: Sisters in Greek mythology who had serpents for hair.
The Lamia: a child-devouring female demon from Greek mythology depicted as half woman, half serpent.
Nuwa: serpentine founding figure from Chinese mythology
Wadjet pre-dynastic snake goddess of Lower Egypt – sometimes depicted as half snake, half woman
The White Snake: a figure from Chinese folklore
Some djinn in Islamic mythology are described as alternating between human and serpentine forms.
(Devanagari: reptilian beings from Hindu mythology said to live underground and interact with human beings on the surface.
The Serpent: a character from the Genesis creation narrative occasionally depicted with legs, and sometimes identified with Satan, though its representations have been both male and female.
Question: Were the lizard men a uniform humanoid race or several different types of reptiles?
JJ You can use the Law of Correspondences to discover this. Look at all the varieties of the human race. This would indicate there was also a variety of reptiles. Also, the variety of serpent images retrieved through archeology indicate a variety of serpents in the past.
Question: Does this relate directly to the snake story in the Garden of Eden?
JJ: Yes, the idea of an intelligent serpent goes back to ancient times.
Question: Also, I always wonder what happens to those planets where the lizards kill off all the humans. Are they totally incapable of ever progressing further?
JJ Even steps backward are steps forward in the total scheme of things. If you take a wrong turn and find out it was a mistake and get back on the right road then the wrong turn was necessary to discover the right direction. There is a limit to the progression a soul can make in any form and sooner or later one must move on.
Question: Do those planets eventually get destroyed?
JJ All life forms fulfill a necessary function and do not get destroyed just because they are dominated by reptile life. Some planets and even star systems get destroyed for a variety of reasons – the main reason is that they have outlived their purpose.
Question: Will we fly there someday on a seeding mission and blow them away with far advanced tech and spiritual skills and re-seed the planet with humans? This might be a lot like ordinary seeding missions except with extermination at the beginning.
JJ The common-sense thing will be to leave their evolution to themselves.
Question: We’ve been told Sanat Kumara is an innovator, not doing things precisely the same way as before but shortening up the process by introducing a lot more pain. Did I state this idea accurate?
JJ The enhancement came from stimulating the minds of humans more than pain. There was already plenty of pain to go around.
Question: So were many of us formerly lizard men? Now we/they use human bodies – ourselves, our families, our friends? Half and half? Or some other ratio?
JJ Either in this system or some other most (or perhaps all) of us have been in the serpent kingdom.
Question: So would lizard men naturally think more like a hunter/killer?
JJ Think Kinglons from Star Trek.
Reader Comment: Another issue that often reveals my ignorance is that of “root races”. I would love to see an outline showing root races one through now and beyond with a few paragraphs under each detailing similarities and differences and maybe something about origins.
JJ The root races are pretty simple; it’s the sub rootraces that are difficult to follow. The first two root races were in etheric matter so there is no physical remnant of them. The third, the Lemurian, has a residual in the Australian Aborigines but were more animal like in the beginning.
The Orientals are a residual of the fourth, the Atlantean and the fifth is the Aryan.
Question: JJ says to look for sixth root race bodies to begin appearing even now. He says the design will pay far more attention to beauty where previous innovations were more utilitarian. So who do you nominate as an example of a sixth root race cutie?
JJ The sixth root race will not be a totally different looking people but a synthesis and refinement of all the races we have now. When it is fully in dominance the average person will be somewhat tan and very refined in features. Some of the best-looking people of all races foreshadow the race to come.
Question: Does a knowledge of esoteric books make you an initiate?
The books we read do not make us initiates, though solid knowledge helps propel us along the path. I have encountered quite a few who have read AAB who show few of the signs of being initiates.
We are shaped and fashioned by what we love. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
