There is an enormous difference between the leaders of the two previous Root Races and the leaders of our present fifth Root Race.

They descended to Earth already in the state of more highly developed, mature human beings in order to instruct the rest of humanity, still in its infant stage, into the primal arts of which it had need. This time of instruction lasted throughout the third, fourth and even into the fifth epoch.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"4.
