The second race lived in this. If you wanted to get an idea of it according to our present concepts, it would be very unclear, because the second human race incarnated in a body that was denser than today's air, but which was still air-shaped. It was something of which one could say that the divine being sends its angels like winds. It was no longer an etheric genus, but a condensed aerial genus. Therefore, when naturalists try to find prehistoric man and are surprised that they no longer find any remains above a certain level, we need not be surprised, since man at that time could not provide stone imprints. That is Vishnu.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XLVII.
